Stan welcomes his great-niece and great-nephew to Gravity Falls.
Sometime during the month of June of 2012, Stan's great-niece and nephew, Mabel and Dipper Pines, are sent from Piedmont, California to stay with him for the summer. Stan has them help out at the Mystery Shack, often working alongside his handyman Soos and his cashier. Stan is not above using the twins, as it happened when he planned a family bonding day that consisted of helping him create forged dollar bills, which resulted in the three being taken to county jail overnight. However, he soon seems to appreciate having the twins around: in "", he is eager to take them fishing with him, even making them fishing hats with their names, and spends the rest of the day angrily upset at their choice to go monster hunting with Soos.

Finding his own fishing buddies around the lake doesn't turn out well for Stan, since everyone thinks his jokes are annoying or creepy to the point of earning him a tracking anklet from the lake police. Despite the bad day, the twins eventually return and join him in fishing for the rest of the day.
Stan tells the kids to avenge him.
After the twins and Soos rediscover the wax figure collection in "," Stan resolves to reopen the exhibit, and is unhappy to discover Wax Abraham Lincoln was left in front of a window and melted in the sun. Mabel then uses this leftover wax to create , which an adoring Stan unveils as a central part of the Wax Museum's Grand Reopening. The ceremony is ultimately a failure, as it was massively attended by a crowd that Stan promised free pizza to; the crowd grows angry and violent upon discovering there is no pizza.
Stan talks to and carries his wax twin around happily, but his joy is cut short when the wax figure is beheaded, an axe beside it and its head missing. Stan is emotionally affected by this (he calls the cops over the 'murder' and puts together an elaborate funeral for the wax figure), as having someone (or something) who looked like him beheaded brings back unconfortable memories of the loss of Ford . After failing to find the culprit, the twins, Soos and the wax figures attend Wax Stan's funeral, which is officiated by Stan; he is eventually overcome with emotion and leaves the room, with Soos close behind. In his absence, it is revealed that the murderers are the wax figures themselves, eager for revenge on Stan for forgetting about them for ten years - they'd mistaken the wax figure for Stan himself. Mabel and Dipper defeat them, destroying Stan's parlor in the process. When they tell Stan what happened, he laughs them off, telling them they have overactive imaginations.
Stan is threatened by his archenemy, Gideon.
In "", the twins and Soos watch a commercial for Gideon Gleeful, child psychic, which shows footage of Stan with the label "fraud" across it. Stan angrily informs them that Gideon is his arch enemy and has been nothing but trouble since he arrived in Gravity Falls. He also says nobody living under his roof is allowed under Gideon's roof, but Dipper and Mabel decide tents don't have roofs (a loophole) and go watch his show. When Stan learns that Mabel and Gideon are apparently dating, he marches over to see Gideon's father, , intent on complaining about the relationship and declaring himself against it. He is soon converted into a fan when Bud presents him with elaborate plans for an alliance between the Tent of Telepathy and the Mystery Shack, which would involve a lot of profit. After that, Stan takes to wearing a 'Mabel and Gideon' t-shirt and tells his niece she'll eventually have to marry the little boy, also spending his days having expensive food, drink and admiring expensive art at the Gleeful residence.
