Hi, I really wanted to ask you a small question- Why is it that so many people refer to Stan, "Grunkle" Stan as Stanford, and Ford as Stanley? It's really confusing me and I'd really appreciate some clarification!
Because the Mystery Trio was a popular fan theory before we knew what had actually happened. There was lots of fan art and fanfic for the Mystery Trio before we found it it was an au instead of what really happened. You have to remember that, until ‘A Tale of Two Stans’ came out, we thought Grunkle Stan was called Stanford since he was pretending to be his brother.
