Nimirylov, how have you been doing after Ford's disappearance? Have you struggled adjusting to becoming a single parent?
(I hope you don't mind the two questions. You can only answer one if it's easier.)
Thank you for your deep questions. They are not something I would normally think about, so I'll answer to the best of my ability.
Ford is dead. That's what I have to keep reminding myself. He's dead. He's dead. He's dead. I know he's not coming back, so even if he isn't officially dead, he's dead. I can't give myself, or Penni, any false hope that he'd return to us.
So Ford is dead. That's what I've told everyone, and if they believe it, then I can make myself believe it. I can handle the stages of the grief for someone who's dead. It's so much harder to mourn for someone living.
Other than trying to make myself believe that, I don't think I'm struggling at all. After all, I can't struggle. I don't have the time for it. Luckily, I've been given less work to do lately (they didn't say that, but I can tell), which means I can focus on Penni more.
Becoming a single parent is a struggle in its own right, of course, but I can't seem to focus on that. Nothing compares to the struggle of seeing how much Penni is suffering because of this. She's so young, too young. I have no idea what to do because this isn't a problem I can solve. No amount of comfort will ever bring her dad back for her. That's the real struggle.
I just wish I knew why Ford disappeared. My only lifeline is that I know he didn't do it by choice. His behaviour is always terribly obvious, and I would have known if he was planning to run away. That way, I could've stopped him... If only I knew why he'd disappeared...
Sincerely,
Prince Nimirylov.
Oh my gods, amazing, I love it. I also did quite a lot of infodumping to a friend before posting to tumblr.
I love the idea of Ford having zero common sense though to the point that he brings a child through the multiverse with him. Willingly. It's in character though.
Also, the daughter being called Robin feels so ironic to me. Like, a half cat alien being named after a type of bird? Please tell me that irony was intentional.
I think it’s absolutely hilarious that we both managed to independently come up with the idea of “Ford needs an alien spouse and a half alien daughter”. Like get that monsterfucker an alien wife/husband and make sure he can be the girl dad we always knew he could be. Superb.
I just scrolled all the way back to 2018 on your account and I'm disappointed to realise this is not something you've posted. Presumably.
I do agree though that Ford gives off girl dad energy in an unexplainable way. He's so babygirl that he needs an actual baby girl.
He also deserves to just have an alien spouse. Reward the monsterfuckers for once, y'know?
I've been inspired by @romanticizing-writing
(Hope you don't mind, by the way)
Wasn't the first time I've seen this sort of idea, but I definitely hadn't thought about doing it myself before this.
So, if you want, you can make asks directly to the ocs of my au, and I'll answer as them. That way I can flesh out Nimirylov and Penni a little bit more.
I feel kind of icky making another post about asks because it feels like I'm just begging for attention, which isn't how I want to come across. Therefore, I'm going to post this and not check tumblr again until tomorrow morning. Insecurity can't get to me if I ignore everything!
I think this is reading number six of the thigh high dimension post. This time, with spelling and grammar mistakes.
@greenbunny7 I told you I'd get round to doing it.
I don't know who else I'm supposed to tag for this, so, just tag relevant people in the comments.
I feel the need to make more content for the Washed Away au + I seem to be getting more creative again. However, I already know I don't have the motivation or the skill to do everything I want to do, so, it's up to you.
Keep in mind that I might not be able to do this straight away, but I want to at least try doing one of these.
Don't have brain space to write what I want to write down right now but I still have the itch to write something. So, I'm giving the basic summary of the gravity falls au that has been living in my head rent free for the past few weeks.
Basically, I was thinking, revenge is boring. Ford spending those 30 years in the portal trying to destroy Bill is boring. What if, and just trust me on this, he'd actually, like, found a home and made a life in a different universe?
So, Ford's got himself this perfect life that's more peaceful than he ever could've thought was possible for him. He's got an alien husband (the only alternate to gay Ford is aroace Ford) and a little alien child.
Then Stan opens the portal. Ford is torn away from his whole new life and family. Not to mention he'd just have to accept it because opening the portal again would be dangerous. There's so much more angst potential and I need to get this out of my brain and inflicting other people as well.
My problem is that I don't know what to post about the Washed Away au. I mean, I want to talk about it all the time, and I have so much to talk about. But! It's so much that each bit is locked behind a door in my mind and needs to be unlocked by someone asking the right things that make me go off on a tangent.
So, even though I can't start the fic for a while, I've gotten it all plotted out. It's going to be entirely from Ford's perspective, and it's going to go from "Not What He Seems" to "The Last Mabelcorn."
Why not all the way up to finale? Because I need to completely rewrite it. "Dipper and Mabel vs the Future" will go completely different, which means the rift will have to crack in some other way. So, a complete Weirdmaggedon overhall. Not to mention, it's going to be split perspective, so, it gets its own fic.
For now, though, until I figure out more details you can ask questions about what will happen. Even if I won't give all the details because of spoilers. It's loosely drafted enough for me to be confident in answering questions, though.
I know I'm late but I couldn't resist spinning the wheel even if I can't vote in the poll.
That's... yeah. I'd be pretty confused.
okay, okay. Imagine you're watching Gravity Falls for the first time. You watch all the episodes in order EXCEPT one of them is mysteriously left out.
spin this wheel to see which one you skipped
reblogs appreciated!
Just spent the last three hours rereading Journal 3 for fun. So, in the Washed Away au, since the journals are all thrown into the bottomless pit after Weirdmaggedon, they all end up in Nimirylov's possession. I need to figure out more details for it, but that I can guarantee. It's very possible that Nimirylov never sees his husband again, but at least he gets his journals. It's... something?
Literally been obsessed with @babyblankyerror Dr Pinington au for the past while. Anyways, I had too many thoughts about it to just send an ask to them, so I'm making a post instead.
I really want to do fanart for it at some point, but I just know it won't go well. I've failed at drawing Ford enough times to know I'll fail at drawing Stan. I have an idea, though, for a sketch I could do.
Anyways, I was just thinking about how if Stan and Ford's high school was able to do a dissection in science. Would Stan keep cool while doing it in school and be super excited inside? Or was dissecting and surgery something he only got excited about post lobotomy (since that seems to be canon for the au now). I just remember when I did a dissection in school, I was stimming the whole time. I still get a giddy feeling about dissection, and I don't even like blood. I just feel like the giddy feeling I get is also how Stan feels in the au.
Additionally, I was just imagining little Stan looking at pictures of human anatomy. Instead of drawing the comics he did in canon, all of his drawings have something to do with organs. I can't stop picturing him trying to get the organs looking as realistic as he can make them at his small age, being surrounded by little childish doodles.
Finally, when/if Ford tells Stan about Bill, dissecting Bill becomes like a fantasy for Stan. One because of everything Bill did to Ford, obviously, so it's semi-revenge. Two, and arguably more importantly, because he's a living two-dimensional triangle. Stan would love to cut him open and see how he works inside, especially his eye.
Currently obsessed with Gravity Falls. Cooking up my own AU for it :> Washed Away au.
