Motel bound

A Gravity Falls x Bobs Burgers crossover au idea.

The Belchers are on a road trip and currently driving through Oregon. The trip has been okay so far, Tina hasn't puked more than once and to Louise's delight they've stopped at some of the locations she's recommended.

Gene enjoys changing the songs on the radio and Linda mostly sleeps. Bob however can't relax. He's too worried that something is going to go wrong.

Linda tells him to not think about it, that everything has been going smoothly and theres nothing to worry about. However as they pass the big "Welcome to Gravity Falls" sign, Bob feels uneasy. The woods surround the car and the wind whistles through the trees.

Bob thinks he can hear whispering out the open window but tries to ignore it. As he drives deeper into the town he can hear the car start to sound weird. It's making a dragging sound and he can feel the pang of anxiety in his stomach.

Before he can reach over to wake Linda the car jerks forward. As she jolts awake Bob pulls over to inspect the damage. He mumbles about how he was right, how he knew their luck wouldn't last for long and how now they were stuck in a small, creepy, town.

Linda calls a tow truck as Bob tries to not get into his head and think about how the rest of the trip would be terrible after this. Linda reassures him after her phone call and at the shop they search for motels to stay in.

Bob lands on a cheap, old, motel a mile down the road from them. Linda is hesitant to agree, as the place gives her the creeps. Bob mentally agrees with her but argues that there’s no where else to stay.

With a heavy sigh and a long moment of silence, Linda gives in and calls a car. As they drive to the motel Linda can feel a sense of unease settle in her.

The kids were too exhausted to notice, Louise was curled up next to Bob, Gene laid with his head on his mothers shoulder and Tina laid like a ragdoll in the middle, dead asleep.

And as the driver pulled in Linda considered telling Bob to re-consider. To maybe search for a different place. However she knows how exhausted her family is and how much Bob needs rest.

She swallows hard as she wakes the kids and climbs out of the car. Normally she would go inside to check in while Bob grabs their stuff.

Now however, she waits, one arm wrapped around Louise‘s small body to keep her warm, feeling the light weight of the little girl leaning into her and the other arm around Gene, playing with his hair and keeping him close to her.

Tina leans back into her mother with her hands in her pockets as Linda blocks her from the wind. As Bob finishes unloading their luggage Linda herds the kids to the doors.

She lets Bob in first and follows him in, slipping her hand into Louise’s. The motel looks even older on the inside and Linda starts to wish she had asked Bob to change his mind on the place.

Hauling the luggage up the stairs was the nail in the coffin for Bob. Driving had tired him out enough, but worrying about the car and their trip and then having to carry their luggage to their room made him feel dead.

The kids didn’t bother changing, they tore off their coats and climbed into bed, piling over each other and it wasn’t long before Bob and Linda could hear their soft snores and see Tina’s twitching under the blankets.

Linda would’ve loved nothing more than to crawl into bed at that moment but sleeping in her clothes made her cringe. So as she changed in the bathroom Bob flipped through the channels on the tv, ultimately landing on an old black and white movie.

Linda joined him in bed when she was finished, noticing he had quickly and lazily threw on his own pajamas. His shirt was inside out and part of it was stuck in the waist band of his sweats.

Bob knew but didn’t care. And while still very creeped out by the town and the motel he knew rationally that there was nothing scary about it.

He needed to let it go, and he figured sleeping would help him shake off the feeling.

However in Gravity Falls, the things that go bump in the night aren’t just the house settling, or your pets running around after bed time, or your roommate up making a late dinner.

The things that go bump in the night are real.

They aren’t even just passed on beings who like to fool with the living, or are angry you‘re in their space.

They‘re so much worse.

And Bob soon wished he listened to his gut before passing the big wooden sign that read:

Gravity Falls, Oregon.

Reblog, click the picture, and prepare for battle.

I can feel this sometimes.

Go walk for a bit, do something you can do without thinking, any simple task to let yourself brainstorm if you’re stuck.

Does anyone have a link to a back-to-basics article about good fanfic practices, like standards of content and chapter length and such (speaking as an old fart who only wrote a couple of shitty one-shots back when lemons were a thing)

Don’t do drugs the only thing you should get addicted to is shutting the fuck up

Bookbinding Fanfiction

So apparently Barns and Nobles just…let you print out your own books for little cost? I had always wondered of those who make their fanfiction into physical things to read rather than through a screen, but I didn't think it would be this easy.

The idea of printing my own fic into a physical book just sounds nice for some reason.

Actually, printing anyone's fic into a physical book to re-read just sounds awesome. As long as you aren't planning to sell it, it's a nice way of solidifying it, making it easy to re-read, and being easier on the eyes!

That said, asking the author would be a nice gesture at the minimum, since sure they can't do much to stop you (especially if it's with copyrighted material), but I suppose it would be a dick move.

Like, seriously go look for yourself it's like less then $10 for 200 pages or less it's amazing.

Thank you for your patience with me. I'm happy to be posting again! This is something that's been rattling around in my head for quite some time, and with my recent return coinciding, more or less, with the reveal of Chapters 3 and 4's release date, I think that it is time I unveiled this idea I've been pouring over. I've always enjoyed making OC's for the things I like, and really trying to make them 'fit' into the setting without disrupting the flow, usually in the form of a continuation of whatever world or story I'm obsessing over. This is such a thing. I hope you enjoy the images, concepts, and characters to come.

Imagine if you will, a DELTARUNE completed, a world SAVED, and a Vessel that was never remembered. Just something thrown away, right at the start, all so YOU could find... someone else.

A Vessel, who can only feel the absence of what was stolen from them. A Doctor, driven mad by the prophetic whispers of his own reflection. An experiment, left to run out of control.

The Dark Worlds are closed, peace is restored, and the heroes go back to their small town life... until a new student is enrolled in their class by an eccentric scientist who just moved to town.

And the balance begins to shift once more...

Prom fits for the love interests!! Some are more prepared than others…
