Random Excerpt That I Really Liked From An MCSM Fic I'm Writing :

So I mentioned to my family that I was reading for another fandom and they were wondering which one. I chose not to tell them because I have a fondness for making people guess things instead of outright telling them . . . uh, it might also just be anxiety about words. Anyway, so I gave them a couple clues and they were guessing. And I was pretty sure they'd stumble upon the correct fandom given the clues and what they were guessing, and I knew if I hesitated before answering they'd think it was that one.

So they were guessing, and I was finding all this greatly amusing and going "nope" and then they guessed "Ben 10" and I hesitated, which made them all think I was reading Ben 10 fanfic. This was hilarious to me, because I was actually reading . . .

. . . ha, did you really think I was going to tell you what fandom it was?? Nope lol! Suffer!

Okay, so maybe this story isn't as funny to anyone else as it is to me. But I was having fun. So. Yeah. There's the story.

If I disappear from updating my fics just assume I’ve picked up a new fandom and have been reading 1 million fics of it. And probably written at least one work anonymously for it. I actually have a story that I personally find hilarious about this new fandom (new for me, it’s like two decades old lol) that I’ll reblog this post with. But not right now because I don’t feel like it.

Writing in pink cause it makes me feel cute ⭐✨

Live sibling reaction

Escape from Reality: “How did any of these episodes get in a kids’ show?” - my brother (different brother from last time)

Final episode: “Why are they acting like they’ll never come back?” - my sister

“Did none of them realize they could come back?” - also my sister

My brother (same one as last time) also pointed out that the wording of the Never Mind All That act implied people outside of Gravity Falls knew something was going on. Also, the news broadcasting stuff. Fanfic authors, we have work to do. We’ve been missing a lovely source of fanfic inspiration

Do you have a discord

Funnily enough, you're the second person to ask (though at the time you asked, I hadn't answered the other one). Yes, I do, but I'm not comfortable sharing.

Hey cake just wanna ask have you considered turning on custom tumblr url? https://chemicalarospec.tumblr.com/post/699113999506210816

I haven't, but I am now

This links to a wheel with nearly a hundred fic tropes for plots, settings, and more. Spin it twice.

This could also work with art inspiration, but the buttons only allow for so many characters on them. And please do ramble in the tags! I'm going to have no idea what most of you are talking about, and it's going to be great.

Evie from my A Place To Call Home series!

If you can see her full name in the parantheses . . . no you can't. That's a spoiler for way later.

Older drawing so I'll have to redo it later, similar to Kaya, but now people can know what she looks like!

Ok so like (9.5 spoilers kinda?)

1. I've never understood the amount of hate Fitz gets. Like, yeah, he has flaws, but you know who else does? Literally every other character. Yes, even Keefe, who I love with my entire being. And it's completely fine to not like characters, I've just always felt like he gets a disproportionate amount of hate compared to everyone else.

2. Everyone is suddenly saying they love Alvar after Unravelled??? I understand he's "changed" now or whatever but.. he did so much to help the Neverseen and no amount of pancake-rambling from him will ever make me forget that. Sure, I hate him a little less now that he's settled down, but he's still not lovable (imo) and I thought it was really weird how much Keefe was just chilling with him in 9.5. I understand what Shannon was trying to do there but also.. it just didn't feel right to me. Especially when I see people brushing over all the stuff he did just because he's goofy now. Um.

3. PEOPLE ARE SAYING THEY LOVE ALVAR MORE THAN FITZ??? I get it, you hate Fitz, but.. c'mon..

Also I'd like to clarify that in this post I'm talking about people loving Alvar and excusing his past actions, not his character in itself. I love Vespera's character, I think she's super cool and interesting, but I don't love her.

Anyway, it doesn't really matter because everyone can have their own opinion and that's the beauty of stories, and one of the best things about KOTLC is the huge range of characters, but I just thought I'd share my opinions on it. So yeah, absolutely no hate to these people, I just personally don't get it 😭

paz school hc post

once pacifica moves out a little after she turns 18, her senior year at the private school her family owns isn't quite finished yet, and they expel her before she can graduate. she ends up having to get her GED later, and while studying for it, she finds out she has a lot of gaps in her education because of how carefully controlled the private school's curriculum was

i think she's pretty good at math and there wouldn't really be a political reason to regulate math so she doesn't have trouble with that subject when she has to study on her own to get her diploma. it's stuff like history and english she has to catch up on

she took grammar lessons for sure but her literature lessons were always on stuff like Shakespeare (worth reading ofc but he has some plays that are very Safe and easy to teach without social ramifications)

and you KNOW her flash cards for studying are all colorful and sparkly and covered in stickers because the pines twins had a hand in making them. i think dipper wrote the cards to begin with so the handwriting is neat and tidy, but after he would write one, he would pass it to mabel and she would decorate it. they do this as a surprise for paz cause they know she has a lot of work to do and when they present the cards to her she has to try not to cry because she loves her friends and she's also been awake for 18 hours

We need to talk more about the redstone aunts. Get the redstone geniuses of their individual times, Ellegaard, Harper and Xara in a lab together (with Olivia shadowing and also spontaneously combusting from the fangirling) and there will be things invented no one has ever seen before in mcsm. Be prepared for a speedrun of multiple-back-to-back technological revolutions and also intergalactic space travel in like a month. That or the three of them would end up killing each other and the planet at large first (mad geniuses are notoriously bad at getting along with other self-proclaimed geniuses). It's a match made in either the Aether or the Nether.
