If I Disappear From Updating My Fics Just Assume I’ve Picked Up A New Fandom And Have Been Reading

So I'm writing the Half Reversed Reunion AU and I went back to add more stuff but then got distracted making my previous post about the AU and when I went to write it I was greeted with this sentence.

Dipper was sketching on a "Will!"

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

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

The Northwests are cannibals now.

Let me explain.

So I have so many stories that it's hard to keep track. It doesn't help that some of these stories have multiple documents: one for the actual story and one for the notes and outlines and such. Recently, I've been coming up with a bunch of new stories. I want to write them all eventually, but I also want to finish the ones that I already have. So I decided that to organize my stories, I should create another document! It is called "List of Stories." It is exactly what it sounds like. I have it organized by fandom (there's also a section for crossovers and a section for one-shots) and I put the title of the story or series, then below that, I put the titles of all of the documents that are a part of that story or series, and then, depending on the story I'll put a brief description of it. (One of the descriptions is just "crack narration." I haven't posted that particular story yet.)

Now, the name of my documents often don't match the name of the actual story. This is partly because of Not Wanting People Who Might See My Documents To Realize That I'm Writing Fanfic (even though anyone who might see my documents will most likely already know that, lol), partly me being embarrassed about the titles (again, because fanfic), and partly me being secretive for no reason. So I don't remember exactly what I named all the documents. (Or, at least, the names are vague enough that I'm double checking the documents just in case.)

So I'm clicking on these documents to double check that I'm putting the right ones. There's an AU I came up with several months ago - I'm not going to say which one, though I've mentioned it on here before - that I had a little bit written of. I clicked on the document for the notes/outlines and part of my notes was "Things Pacifica thinks are normal but are not."

Now, it's been a few months since I opened that fic. I've been focusing on other stories. But underneath that heading I just mentioned was...

Butler hunting. The Northwests are cannibals.

I have no idea what I was thinking when I wrote that. But it's going in the story when I finally write it. It's so horrifically messed up but so ridiculous that I'm laughing as I write this, because what was I thinking??!!

Anyway. That's my ramble for the day.

Im noticing a lot of spears in my direction Whats up with that

Every day I long to shake roughly 3/4 of the fandom by the shoulders and shout at them that any relationship Bill and Ford had was horrifically abusive

something something Grace's t-shirt being too large for her shoulders something something Simon's hoodie being too short for his arms

there's a metaphor about growing up somewhere in there, I think. maybe. idk

me: quietly posts a fic and hopes that no one I know irl finds it

also me: knows there are two people I know irl who could most definitely find it and this is entirely my fault

me: lives in fear of their judgement (lol, both of them read fanfiction too)

Pines Twins Parallelisms

I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one who thought about the parallelisms of the oh-so untouched dynamics of Ford and Mabel, and Stan and Dipper, but humor me.

In a previous post, I mentioned Mabel is a mini-Ford in Stan’s font and Dipper being a Stan Jr. in Ford’s flair so here’s my take.

Mabel is just like Ford because, other than being the sweater-loving older twin that would always add something to in their diary/scrapbook, her mind is the only other stand-out to the Bill Cipher other than Ford's. He took genuine interest to her mindscape.

As for Dipper, he's so much like Stan. No book? Left hook!

Both Dipper and Mabel mirror the different aspects of Ford's mind and Stan's heart. Let's start with the obvious:

Dipper has Ford's academic mind and craving for problem-solving adventure.

While Mabel has Stan's emotional capacity to know what to do to the things left unsaid.

And now for the other way around:

Mabel has Ford's mental fortitude to face the unknown with the optimistic belief that they'll survive it all just so that they can record it on paper.

And Dipper has Stan's immovable tenacity to protect the family he loves so dearly, no matter how dangerous or afraid he is. For them, he'll do it all.

I just love them so much how can I be normal about it.

resident fandom over-thinker here! did ford hand weave those bill tapestries himself or did he have them commissioned? i literally cannot decide which one is funnier
