Then At First He Didn't Want To Do Anything About It Because It's The Cool Pirate Disease.

Penni, what's the most interesting thing you learned from Ford about humanity in terms of its history and society.

OOH, OOH, OOH! I love this question! It's so easy to answer too!

Obviously, my favourite thing, which I find the most interesting about humans, is food 2.0, aka, "drinking liquids".

Dad told me to stop calling it food 2.0 but I know I'm right on this one! For once, I'm right and my dad is wrong (just don't tell him or pa I said that). It has different flavours, it can have calories, and people have to consume it daily. Therefore, it's food 2.0.

There's so many different types that I would just love to try. Dad says his favourite is something called "coffee," which he has with lots of sugar.

However, what I find most intriguing is that there's adult only versions of this food 2.0. Imagine if food had adult only versions!? Not to mention that there's different types of this adult only version! So much variety. I'd get dizzy if I had to pick one of these things to consume.

I'm no scientist like my dad, but I'd love to do some sort of experiment with these adult only drinks. More of a social experiment, really... on myself. I'm just too curious!

Not to mention, then I could document it like how my dad does in his journal. I find his journal really cool, actually. (Definitely don't tell him I said that.)

Thanks for listening to my excited ramble about humans and their strange varieties of food 2.0,

Princess Penni Pines.

NOOOOOOO!!!!!

I WILL PAY THE ENTIRE FICTIONAL AMOUNT OF MONEY. I LOVE HER TOO MUCH TO SEE HER SUFFER. I LOVE HER IN A SQUEEZE HER WAY, NOT A SUFFERING WAY!!!

Anyways, as for reblogging this with the actual purpose... I'm going to talk about my actual book, which will mean there's even less context.

Eat Sirens, or don't.

reblog with a spoiler for your wip with zero context. no context allowed.

Literally, I always feel awkward reblogging but I feel the need to do this. It's the first time I've been tagged in anything.

1. If you could be any animal, what would it be?

No hesitation, I'm an eastern screech owl. Specifically the red ones. Those are my ultimate favourite animals. My second choice would be an axolotl though.

2. What would you choose in a hurry if you had nothing to wear

I'm assuming this means to go somewhere nice, in which case I'd probably put on any random dress I have. If it just means in general, I'd wear leggings, a t-shiry, and a hoodie or jumper. What I wear everyday to be honest.

3. Are you a witch, vampire, fairy, dryad, siren or mermaid and why do you think so?

Vampire. No hesitation. I'm ridiculously pale, I hate sunlight, and my first reaction to a cut is for me to lick my own blood. People around me already call me a vampire. The only thing going against that is my immense love for garlic though.

4. What is your style?

If I wasn't lazy and if I were rich. I would switch between a sort of alt look or full-on cottagecore. As it stands, though, I am neither of those things. So, instead, I dress extremely casually or way to dressed up.

5. Regular milk or plant based milk?

Hate to say it, but I've never had plant based milk. Only standard cows milk for me. Even if I had though, I don't think it would change my answer because I love milk. I buy milk every time I go to McDonalds. I take the tiny milk packets they give you everywhere and I drink them. I'm a little bit crazy.

6. Milk or cereal first?

Genuinely, I don't eat cereal. I haven't eaten it in years. However, I remember eating rice crispies when I was a kid, and the correct order for that is cereal, milk, sugar. No other way.

7. Favourite way to kill someone?

Ooh, final question, and this is a good one. My first thought was, defenestration, because that is my favourite word of all time. That, however, is much too obvious. I think I'm going to stick with the absolutely diabolical idea I came up with when I was a pre-teen, which is murder via potato peeler.

This was genuinely so fun and I'm so glad I was tagged in this. So, thank you!

I really don't know who to tag, though. I'm not really mutuals with people... (I think it's only tagging mutuals?)

@romanticizing-writing @is-this-name-good-enough

Here you go, though. You're both being volunteered to join this too.

thankyou for the tag @preposterousray 🖤

get to know your mutuals♡

if you could be any animal which one would you choose to be? (can be fictional) (and you can explain why if you want to) I think I would choose to be a bengal tiger because I have always resonated with them 🐅 <3

what would you choose when you're in a hurry and have nothing to wear?

hm, a black singlet top, fishnet tights and black denim shorts with lace, hair in two spiky buns, eyeshadow and lipgloss, some bracelets and obviously my scoliosis brace but that is a mobility aid lol

are you a witch, vampire, fairy, dryad, siren or a mermaid and why do you think so?

I think either a witch (darkness, chaos, magic, freedom, and power, and animals, besides I’m already into witchery) and a vampire (turning into a bat, flying, supernatural powers, macabre)

what is your style?

idk man I love and admire both gothic fashion and punk-rock fashion. diy, scraps, lace, patches, studs, spikes, fishnets, jewellery, mesh, paint, safety pins, stockings, short skirts and shorts, crop tops, weird hairstyles and makeup, expressing individuality and rebellion and the macabre and unusual — and if I’m being formal then thrifted suit jackets and vampy curly updos ✨

regular milk or plant based milk?

regular milk 🥛

which one do you put first milk or cereal?

milk because I am a psychopath

nah I’m actually kidding I obviously put cereal first I just wanted to annoy whoever was reading this

fav way to kill someone? (idgaf if you never thought of it now you have to think of something and make it at least a bit cool I'm begging)

pull one of their eyes out with my fingers, shove a handkerchief into their eye socket, and then throw them the fuck overboard a ship to drown in the unforgiving sea kaz brekker style

I've opened up the rabbit hole in my brain for Ford and Mabel interactions because of the comments on my last post with @sharksfrommars so now I need to write a little drabble with them for my au.

Drabble underneath more.

A sharp gasp made it's way to Ford's ears followed by a quick short "Oh my gosh". He looks up from what he'd been reading to be face to face with Mabel staring directly at him with bright, wide eyes.

A feeling of self-consciousness and worry makes it way through him. Had he done something odd without realising it? He's readjusting to human social norms and getting used to the ones in this time, after all.

"Oh my gosh! Grunkle Ford!" Mabel squeals, putting her hands on her cheeks and looking at him with pure, admittedly adorable, excitement.

Furrowing his brows, Ford tries to think what he could've done subconsciously that would've caused excitement, this much at that, within his great niece. Before he can even think of how to phrase his question to Mabel on what's excited her so, she continues to talk.

"Are you married, Grunkle Ford? Is that a wedding ring? That looks like a wedding ring. Why didn't you tell us you were married!?"

Oh. That was what it was. Ford felt a slight tightness build in his chest and rise to envelope his throat, too. It's only been a week since Ford had been torn from his home by the opening of the portal, something he doesn't think he could ever forgive Stanley for, but it feels like it's been a lifetime since he's seen his husband and daughter.

The pain feels almost unbearable at times, to accept that he'll never see his family again. He's been torn away from them and is probably as good as dead in their eyes.

But... this is Mabel who's asking about it. She's just an innocent, curious, young girl and for her he can steel himself to talk about his husband at least. Not his daughter, that pain cuts much too deep to talk about yet. Maybe that pain will cut too deep for forever.

Taking a deep breath, he looks down at the wedding ring that his husband had so lovingly made for him by hand, having wanted to do something human for Ford in the aquatic world they called home.

"His name, my husband that is, is Nimyrlov," He starts, looking into Mabel's eagerly excited eyes.

Can people in the fandom acknowledge that Mabel is also clearly a nerd, but she just doesn't show it? Like, one scene that always sticks with me is at the start of Dipper and Mabel versus the Future, they talk about high school. Mabel says that they learn about "You know what" and Dipper's reply is "Trigonometry!"

You would think that the next reply to this would be Mabel calling Dipper a nerd or something, but she replies with the same level of enthusiasm. She says "Oh yeah baby."

Only nerds are excited to learn about fucking trigonometry. Mabel is a fucking nerd.

Weridmaggedon is the part of the Washed Away au I'm most looking forward to writing. It is also the part I don't have planned. However, just know that Penni will have a lot of parallels with Ford during it.

I'm probably not going to keep posting this much usually, but I'm bored whilst watching my friends play Cards against Humanity in a public park.

Anyway, Ford's alien fish husband is called Nimirylov which in the alien fish language means "perfect current". Their ship name NimFord then it just means "perfect Ford" which is hilarious.

Bonus: Their daughter is called Penni which less directly translates to "brain perfect". So Ford named his child something that basically means smart which feels very in character for him.

I decides to draw Penni's picture. Can't draw hands though so it's just her fingers on the picture.

I had fun drawing childishly. I'm imagining she's like 6 in this scene.

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.

I drew Penni in sixty seconds because she's my baby.

Mouths are overrated, yknow?

Anyhow, here's doodle Penni's quote;

No! Doodle Penni, you're adorable.

Anyways, my moots (that haven't already done this);

I want you all to know that I might mostly portray Penni as a sweet girl who can be snarky sometimes, but that's just how she acts rather than how she is. Obviously, she's like that to family genuinely, but this girl wants to be a politician and has been trained in weaponry since she was a child.

She can and will manipulate, lie, and fight.
