I’VE ALMOST PASSED 200,000 WORDS ON AO3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (It’s 197,000

Mini comic about Pacifica’s DD&D journey

Btw I was planning on putting Will above them but I forgot because I don’t care about him much and haven’t quite worked out how he fits into the story. Also, I want to punch Gideon with that expression. I considered changing it but . . . It does make me feel an emotion sooo

[Image description: a hatless Dipper in a blue shirt with a black tie and pants stands with his arms crossed next to Gideon, who is wearing a suit similar to what he he wore in the show. On Dipper's other side are the words, "hates the tie and convinced them to let him get a black one instead of matching with Gideon." Above him are the words "Reverse Dipper." Above Gideon are the words "Canon Adjacent Gideon."]

It's more of my Reverse x Reunion Falls, which I have decided to name the "Half Reversed Reunion AU" which is literally just me saying what AUs it is - since it's half of Reverse Falls mixed with Reunion Falls.

Lore dump! Dipper is so done with the Tent of Telepathy shows but he does them anyway because he doesn't really have a choice. He was raised by the Gleefuls and is closer to Mrs. Gleeful (I don't think there's a canon first name for her so I'm going to call her Valerie in this AU) which Gideon is jealous of. I have several scenes of this AU planned and I think I can connect them into a story.

So I have an abandoned WIP that I wrote roughly 17 thousand words for and I was looking in my notes doc for it the other day and found some . . . funny(?) stuff I thought I'd share. You'll probably know why it's abandoned if you make it to the end of this post.

So I pre-write my tags and notes. The notes I write during or after relevant chapters. So here are most of the non-relationship tags:

Graphic Depictions of Violence, F/M, Teen And Up Audiences, Hurt/Comfort, Angst with a Happy Ending, Whump, Heavily Implied Romance*, Torture, this got way darker than I was anticipating, No One Is Okay, And That Includes The Author, Preston and Priscilla Northwest's a+ parenting, Probably Medical Inaccuracies, I Tried Okay, the graphic violence warning only applies to a couple of chapters.

*The heavily implied romance tag was for Stan/Lazy Susan and Pacifica/Dipper

Here's the first note: Hi there! This is the story that’s been distracting me from my main one, Mindscaperers.* It’s a little different and I’d like to state right off the bat that <b>this story gets fairly dark and I will NOT be giving warnings for individual chapters, so MAKE SURE TO CHECK THE TAGS. </b> ** On a brighter note, this story is fully finished so you won’t have to randomly wait several weeks for the next chapter.*** I’ll try to post roughly two a week until I’m done. This is going to become a series, but this is the main plot. The other stories will probably be about side characters as well as the consequences of this first story. 

*it was not the only thing distracting me from Mindscaperers. I was also reading a lot of fanfiction for fandoms I'm not even in.

**I said something similar in my recent Infinity Train story, We Only Broke The Train A Little Bit (More Than You).

***Past Me wishes. I ended up with like . . . five or six chapters. Maybe seven?

My notes get better - or worse, depending on how you look at it.

The end notes for chapter three are as follows:

me: shipping is weird

My brain: pff imply stuff so hard

Me: but they’re kids

My brain: pfffffff

Me: I can’t write Stan.

My brain: make him a major character

Me: no violence

Also me: let’s write the most descriptive violence I’ve ever written–WAIT NO THAT HASN’T HAPPENED YET

Let’s write a cute lighthearted story–AHHHHHHHHH never mind

And the penultimate and also best/worst note from the end of chapter four: Yes, they’re coping with being tortured by flirting with each other. Don’t judge me–them. Don’t judge them.

. . . and now we know why I abandoned this story.

But there's on more note! At the end of Chapter 5, I wrote about the fairy family I included in my story. (I'm going to write these fairies into a different story because I love them so much. But not this story.)

Here's the note: Zaelynn is the firstborn and Annabel is the 870th child. Also, sistren is an actual word.*

Pretty sure it's basically "brethren" but specifically for girls.

So yeah. That was . . . I'm honestly concerned about the me of 6-7 months ago.

Haven't looked at any of these but some of them seem like they'll be useful for future me . . .

doing perimeter patrols is a common but little known ptsd symptom, and i think ford doing it not only makes sense for him post-portal but also is a great way to force awkward, impromptu conversations between him and everyone else

I think one of the best things about dipcifica (both romantic and platonic) is just that neither of them have a clue about what the other person is like.

Like yeah, Dipper doesn't have any idea about modern fashion and other stuff Pacifica values but Pacifica doesn't know either.

And if they even decided to date, both of them are gonna struggle planning it. Dipper 'overthinking' pines for obvious reasons

and Pacifica cuz, what is she supposed to do? Most of what she knows isn't going to work with Dipper like it would with other people.

Is she supposed to plan a date in the supernatural black market? Do they even have restaurants like the mall does?? Can she even reserve a table???

And what is she supposed to wear? An alien outfit? Dipper like kissing aliens right? What fashion do aliens even have?!

RIP Lucas. You would've loved cat cafes

Writing in pink cause it makes me feel cute ⭐✨
