my headcanon for that flirting scene in the GF end credits demo is that Stan said Ford couldn’t flirt to save his life and that he could charm a girl way better than Ford ever could
so Ford took that as a challenge b/c who hasn’t felt contradictory when their sibling says they can’t do something, even when you know they’re right
This is much less convoluted than the rationalization I came up with for the flirting scene and it might just replace the one I had in mind.
Stan: I bet I can charm a woman better than you! Ford: I’ll take that bet. Stan: for what, five dollars? Ford (growling): make it ten. [After the flirting scene] Stan: You were supposed to charm someone else, ya knucklehead! Ford: what would that prove?! In order to prove which one of us is better at this social experiment the results would- Stan: arg, I’ll give you the 10$ if you shut up with the nerd talk.
“I’ve seen the mating habits and rituals from beings of countless dimensions, Stanley. This shouldn’t be difficult at all..”
later, trying to flirt: “you have the beauty of a Zagremorph, which is an alien subspecies of flower on Zeta 5”
Can you imagine though if Stan stayed in the attic longer with Mabel and overheard the Dipper and Ford’s conversation through walkie-talkie as well
Like he’s completely surprised that his brother would even consider the apprenticeship and splitting Mabel and Dipper up. After he JUST told Mabel she’d have her brother with her through thick and thin. And as Mabel let’s the conversation sink in and as soon as she makes eye contact with Stan she starts to break down. And as he’s trying to calm her nerves and tell her it’ll all be okay Stan already prepares to confront Ford about what he’d just heard.
