So I Mentioned To My Family That I Was Reading For Another Fandom And They Were Wondering Which One.

Ford, to the most anxious 12 year old in Gravity Falls and perhaps the entire planet: You simply have to not feel any fear

Dipper: It's dark. Like your soul.

Pacifica: My soul is glow in the dark, actually.

in 2025 let’s bring back being enthusiastic on ao3. leave a comment on every chapter. leave kudos and, if necessary, leave “double kudos” in the comments. tags and notes on bookmarks. the whole nine yards. let’s show fanfic authors how much we love them.

Never not being insane about Wendy and Soos btw. They're such found family. Such siblings. Soos has none. Wendy has many. Soos is shy and silly (/aff). Wendy is an angsty teenager (/aff). Soos is aloof and playful. Wendy is reserved and cutting. Soos seems childlike but is actually protective and responsible. Wendy seems tough and laid back but is actually a kid. They both love the twins. The both love Stan. They both love the Mystery Shack because it's like a second home to them.

They are the type that would've never interacted with each other in high school but got stuck in some extracurricular activity together and now they'd kill for each other. And maybe they don't spend that much time together (because of their age difference, or work, or family, or their other friends), but they will consider each other siblings. They will refer to each other as one of their best friends.

Because there's something so special in forming a connection with someone that you know you wouldn't have ever crossed paths with if not for one tiny little coincidence (getting hired at the same place).

I love Wendy and Soos man

Currently writing a character study of Samantha. It'll be part of the series. She's a hard character to figure out but that just makes it more fun tbh

I was listening to Complicated by Avril Lavigne earlier and I think the song fits Jesse really well. Then I thought about writing a story that’s just canon, but from his perspective. Probably some before and after canon too. Then I thought about doing it for more characters; Tulip definitely, Grace probably, and Ryan and/or Min-Gi. Maybe Simon. Probably not Lake (unfortunately) because she’s the focus of a different one of my stories (We Only Broke The Train A Little Bit (More Than You) ) but I love all these characters and am Not Normal about them.

There’s too many adults okay with casually drugging children in this series

.

I have read two fics in the last two days where Ford wakes up and his first instinct is to point a gun (specifically at Stan)

I would but . . . she can never know.

It would be pretty funny to walk up to her and say "you slay and all your opinions are valid" though.

Watching Gravity Falls with siblings is great.

"I didn't think it was possible to be a worse guardian than Stan, but at least he has some idea of child endangerment." - my sister when Ford brought Dipper to the alien ship.

"That's not up to him, that's up to his parents." - my sister on Ford's apprenticeship offer.

"Is she about to get Bill'd?" - my brother when Mabel is in the forest.

"This show took a turn." - my sister in the episode thats name is like Xqthfqx or something.

"It takes a special kind of brain to come up with this." - my brother on the same episode as the previous quote.

his outfit arc throughout s2 sends me bc why does this guy just ends up losing more clothes as the season progresses LMAO

#if it WAS created by the train that means there might be an orb for reflections like there are for other denizens#and what happens if that orb gets bumped out of place?#and if it DOES exist independently from Train then that means lake was only classified as a denizen because they weren't a passenger#and it might have always existed outside of the train BECAUSE the train created it and retconned reality to make it always exist#no matter how you slice it the whole mirror world is both fascinating to think about and so incredibly messed up and thats why I love it#infinity train#infinity train mirror world

Gotta love this very messed up show

the question of if the mirror world really reflected the regular world or if it was a creation of the train is so fucked. i know lake ultimately decides it doesn't matter if their memories are false, because their life is in their own hands now. still, i was trying to decide which option is More fucked bc i knew that would be the one Owen Dennis etc would choose. but honestly they're both so dystopian and horrible i just don't know. like, option 1: oh great, everyone's existence is tied to puppeting an unwilling person who can't be saved in a world we can't reach. option 2: oh great, if you pass through the train's chrome car, you immediately create an autonomous person who remembers being puppeted their entire lives and are now still being heavily policed to support you even though they have great cause to despise you. yikes!
