IT'S MAY 9TH!!!

Just some incorrect quotes with the context I've made up for them. Nothing to see here.

Penni, daughter of Ford "shaves with fire" Pines, does not see any other reason than for consumption as to why shaving cream exists.

Penni, realising that she made a bad call with her deal with Bill, and about to enter her paranoia and insomnia arc.

Penni, entering her paranoia and insomnia arc. Dipper doesn't want to admit he's concerned for her.

She's going into politics. Liking sarcasm is the least problematic thing to do.

Penni doesn't have a womb, the same as the rest of the alien fish species. So, she has no reason to understand period products.

Teaching Penni more English is... going well.

Dipper spent too long distrusting Penni (probably about 3 days) to then just get along with her.

Penni took it literally. She loves sarcasm, doesn't understand when it's targeted towards her.

Penni finally thinking that she's actually getting along with Dipper. She's so happy.

I am once again, humbly asking for people who follow me and like the Washed Away to send me asks. I have lots of free time next week and am completely free on Monday so I need something interesting to occupy my time.

Stanley would instantly be on alert because this was the last thing he'd been expecting. Scratch that, this had never even been something he'd ever imagined. Not only was this the last place he'd want to reunite with his twin, but clearly, Ford isn't in any state to be reuniting right now.

Ford is in that much of a state of intoxication that Stan can't help but wonder if this is the first time he's ever gotten drunk. Not to mention, he'd never quite pictured Ford getting drunk before, it always seemed too out of character for how nerdy he was.

Stan doesn't know what the people in charge are expecting from him. Obviously, they didn't tell him anything about who he was supposed to sort out other than a basic description, but they would've been able to tell the similarities. They mustn't have wanted him to try and back out before doing it if he'd known that who it was was clearly related to him. Had they then hoped that if he got this far he would be unable to back out?

Well fuck that. Stan doesn't play by the rules, and he's not going to start now. Not when his twin is dangerously drunk and clearly needs to be taken out of here.

So, all he has to do now is get Ford out of here safely. Whether Ford wants to or not. Which seems to be a very high possibility with the way he's drunkenly staring at another slot machine.

Have an idea for a fic that I’m definitely not going to write.

essentially, ford hits a roadblock in his research, but doesn’t summon Bill. He’s just burned out from all that gifted kid syndrome, trying to power through it. His mother recommended he take a break, and the perfect opportunity for that arrived when Fiddleford calls, asking Ford to be his Best Man, and inviting him to his bachelor party.

in Vegas.

so Ford reluctantly goes with Fiddleford and two of his other friends to the city of sin, and Ford completely DESTROYS the casinos. He’s counting cards, he’s worked out the algorithm for when the slot machines hit a jackpot, and he gets SUPER drunk. Ford is having the time of his life cus he gets to use maths to flex on people. And he’s NOT SUBTLE.

so at the end of the night, the casino take Ford out back, and send a goon to beat him up.

and you’ll never guess who the goon is!

so now Stan and Ford have to work together and try to escape the gangs and crime lords that run 1970s Las Vegas.

I call it Gifted Kid Syndrome.

again, not doing anything with it, feel free to do anything with the idea, up to and including wiping your butt with it. Just like, tag me or whatever.

I love squaring people.

Can I be honest? I hate that any post where it's purely platonic is labeled aroace. It completely removes the ability for friendship to happen. It gives me the same feeling as people who say that "boys and girls can't be friends". Acting as though deep platonic relationships can only be reached by being aroace removes the importance for everyone to have those deep platonic relationships and it actually encourages the narrative that romance is a must.

Enemies to "I accidentally came across you while you were vulnerable and scared and I'm not a total asshole so I tried to help you" to "accidental mutual uncovering of softer sides and vulnerabilities" to "I can't be mean to you anymore, not out of pity but because it would feel weird betraying that brief truce we had" to "Fine I'll make an effort to be nice to you now I guess" to "actually now that we're not actively hating each other you're not so bad I guess" to "i think we're friends but I'm not going to say that because I'm afraid you're not gonna feel the same way" to "oh you also think we're friends? Great" to lovers

Once again, I wish I could draw because I want to make a comic for my Washed Away au that goes like this;

Ford is just doing science stuff in his study or whatever when Penni bounds in excitedly. She's holding a piece of paper, and she asks him if she can show him her drawing of her imaginary friend. He'd smile and nod, only to promptly panic upon seeing the paper.

Because his young daughter, barely more than a toddler, is showing him a drawing of Bill Cipher.

Why the fuck is my Tumblr just posts about Pope Leo XIV? Where's my gravity falls mix of angst and crack gone? I'm not even Christian.

Mabel having six fingers is one of my favourite aus. I mean, I love any au centred on Mabel, and I love any parallels between Mabel and Ford, so it's not surprising but I just love it.

...and then they were attacked by gnomes lol

This is what cleverly entitled "Six-point comic" (AKA Dipper discovering journal 3 in a universe where Mabel also has polydactyly)

The inspiration was this over on Ao3 by @wickerss-s (hope you don't mind being @'d)

Bonus:

Hm, just, y'know @institute-of-oddology-founder

“Okay, just so we’re clear, a version of me died in your world, and now you want to take me to yours to be a replacement? “That’s right.” “….Don’t you see how messed up that is??”

Fun fact for the Washed Away au (or at least I found it fun); even though Ford is a lot angrier at Stan than he was in canon, they actually get along better.

Mostly because Ford didn't plan on kicking Stan out.
