Honey: It Is Not Nice To Throw People!

S-Scam Likely?

Perfection

So I had a lot of feelings about the bubble changing Mabel, especially after reading this and of course this awesome post here, and then I began to wonder how it would fit in TAU. Also @marypsue helped too!

————

Mabel coming out of that bubble changed and Bill made a big mistake, using her mind to fuel his apocalypse. Mabel who is chaos personified, Mabel and Dipper who thought the reality warping would stop once they were out of the bubble but it…doesn’t look like it? Eek. But then there are more important things going on to worry about; that Mabel’s eyes are still glowing white, flowers that smell of macaroni and cheese follow in her footsteps, that there’s a herd of kittencorns springing into existence just at her mention-that all can wait. 

Here the Transcendence happens in the wake of Weirdmageddon, and the tear is repaired and the damage undone but nothing will ever be the same again and there is no hiding magic anymore. Here Bill still gets the shit beat out of him, still he tries to possess Dipper as he dies, still Dipper fights him and wins. 

And yet as Mabel watches, Dipper’s chest falls still, stops moving. She runs to him and puts her head on his chest, but there’s no beat, no sound. He’s dead, her twin is dead and no, no no. 

Mabel, eyes so bright white looking at them is like looking at the sun and encased in a bubble that swirls with a million colors. Mabel who tears reality apart, ripping into the very fabric of existence, shattering and reforming reality so that Dipper lives. 

The demon thing is kind of unexpected, she admits to herself afterwards, but at least Dipper is alive, is still with them, and that’s what counts.

After pulling that stunt Mabel returns to normal, her power spent in keeping Dipper alive, in helping him transcend. Or at least, that’s what it seems.

Because Dipper can’t see any trace of power left on his sister, doesn’t see anything out of the norm in her aura, in her soul, and yet sometimes it rains when she cries and one day snadgers are just, suddenly a Thing. Like, been around for all of human knowledge, in the history and science textbooks, yes of course snakes and badgers can make snadgers just like mules, duh. He has no idea what Mabel can do or how he does it and it terrifies him a bit (if he’s not the smart guy, then who is he?)

Dipper who still possesses Mabel to do Mystery Twin cult-bashing shenanigans but he doesn’t peek into her Mindscape any more, not after the last time left him on the floor staring at the ceiling dazedly and wondering what the fucking fuck he just saw. Dipper who eons from now will have the might to destroy the world (he knows this, feels it in his bones), but he looks at his sister and knows with that same bone deep certainty that if she wanted to, Mabel could destroy it all now without a second thought. Because he is still bound by rules and deals and wards but there is nothing constraining Mabel, nothing that can hold her back other than herself. Dipper and the day he realizes he holds not just Bill’s power within him, but Mabel’s as well and then he goes and stares at the wall for a bit.

(He laughs when people call him the Lord of Chaos. He’s no ruler, only its servant and subject. Mabel, though. Mabel is the Empress of Chaos, the embodiment of madness and sheer possibility.)

Mabel doesn’t tell Henry at first because honestly, it’s almost never a big deal or issue and she isn’t sure how to explain and there’s the whole “my brother is a demon” thing and dating moves to getting married and it never comes up. Then Mabel gets pregnant and suddenly everything is going haywire. All the cartons of ice cream at the supermarket turn to pickle flavor, she cries and it rains frogs and kittens and bowties. And one day Mabel leans up to kiss Henry and burps madness bubbles in his face on complete accident oh my god. Henry gets a bubble full in the face and afterwards coughs up some fur and feathers and just Looks at Mabel. They end up on the couch, Mabel curled up in his lap, and murmuring into his shirt because she’s so scared and she fucked up and she doesn’t know where to start or how to explain and and-

Henry just gives her a gentle hug, and “It’s okay, you told me now, that’s the most important thing.” Then he looks at her stomach and asks “Um, are the babies going to do that burping thing?” and she laughs because everything is okay again.

(She makes him feel like the hero of all his favorite stories, the books where the brave adventurer stumbles into a world stranger and vaster and far more magical than their own. When they kiss sometimes his mind explodes into a riot of color and sound, madness on her lips. She’s disorder and bedlam incarnate and the kindest, sweetest woman he knew and every day he felt so privileged to be loved by one such as her.)

Dipper telling the kids bedtime stories about how Mom saved the world; he just did the cleaning up afterwards. Willow looks at her mother and Mabel in Willow’s eyes are the swirling colors of madness bubbles, a thousand flashing swirling maelstrom of color. It should hurt her eyes, hurt her brain but it doesn’t because, well, it’s Mom (and if Mabel is Chaos, then the triplets are the children of Chaos. There’s a bit of madness in all three of them.) Triplets and the shenanigans they get into because like attracts like, and weird attracts weird.

Willow still almost drowns when she’s fourteen, and Henry still becomes the Woodsman, but the difference here is that when they call Mabel, they don’t get thirty seconds into the call before there’s a feeling of plib and Mabel spilling out on the floor of the living room, the thousands of miles from Australia to Gravity Falls nothing to her will. Dipper can see the tear in reality his sister made mending itself. (He can see what would have happened if it had been him and her that rescued Willow. Sees eyes glow a cleansing, horrifying white and a pink haze rise around her. Sees her raise a hand and clench it into a fist and every soul in the room is obliterated, gone completely from the cycle of reincarnation, completely and utterly dead and gone in a way that no demon, no god, not even him can do. His sister glows and blazes before his eyes and she is utterly terrifying.)

It’s easier, in this timeline, for Henry to accept the Woodsman. How can he not, when he looks at his wife and there’s something beyond human comprehension hiding in her skin, sometimes he holds her at night and the world goes mad around him and he loses all sense of time and place and self. But she’s more than that, she’s love and sweetness and distractability and maybe there’s something a little (a lot) Wyrd about her but that’s not all of who she is, just like the Woodsman is not all of who he is. And maybe he’s not quite human any more, but neither is she, and together they make a perfect pair.

Just.

Literal Goddess of Chaos and Destruction Mabel Pines.

After watching FMA03 and getting to see the glorious sight of Winry pick locks in a matter of seconds (as well as the empowering duo of Winry and Sheska), I absolutely delight in headcannoning that Edward has no idea that she can do any of her neat tricks. More than once on their trips Winry has shown herself to be true MVP by fixing busted up vehicles and rigging up devices to fix situations that Ed's fists won't fix. Cue a situation (that's 110% Ed's fault, thank you very much) in which Winry and Ed are being held captive, chains and all. Ed doesn't have his alchemy anymore so he can't just bust through the chains, and it's tearing him up that he's putting Winry through this, especially after what happened at Briggs, she must be so scared and-- Meanwhile off to the side, Winry has already wriggled her tools from her sleeves, picked her locks, and is currently delightfully going through the dangerous materials the bad guys so stupidly left for them beside a bunch of scrap metal. A matter of seconds later, Winry has busted a shellshocked Ed from his chains and is shoving him up the stairs, nervously yet gleefully laughing all the way. "Winry, what the hell is going on?" Ed splutters as Winry uses her bare hands, toughened by years of automail work, to rip boards from the wall to make their exit. "How'd you get out? What's the rush? What the fuck, Win?" Winry giggles. "The bombs about to go off Ed. We gotta go." "BOMB? What bo-!" (On that day Ed was reminded of how terrifyingly brilliant his wife was, and how glad he was she had never been his enemy.)

Okay so one thing I get really frustrated with in post-canon FMA fanfics is how Winry always gets portrayed as frustrated, or even downright hating the fact that Ed is very much a wandering soul.

Disregard the fact that her last line in FMA:B is literally along the lines of “men who stay still are boring”.

Disregard that Winry always supported Ed and Al’s decisions to travel because she knew how much they needed to get distance, and later supported it because she knew that they just wanted to see the world.

Disregard Winry instantly jumping on the chance to travel whenever offered, including yearly travelling to Rush Valley and a clear enjoyment of her trip north before everything went to shit.

Just know that Winry, seven months pregnant and struggling to get around, just starts shoving shit into suitcases cause there was a skirmish to the west that resulted in plenty of casualties, including amputees, and fuck if they don’t need the greatest automail mechanic there to help them out. Es gets a few words of protest in before unceremoniously getting thrown into the train, Winry eagerly jumping in behind him cause she’s needed elsewhere and nothing will slow her down, not even pregnancy.

Down the line, family trips are common. Only they aren’t trips into Central like most country folk take. No. The Elric-Rockbells are wanders at heart, and the people on the railroads know each of their faces intimately due to their yearly trips to Xing, and their constant roaming across the country offering automail and handyman services.

They miss home on the road, but wouldn’t give up on seeing the world for anything.

With all the amazing hype about Lup being trans (bless you Griffin), I've seen a few people question what Lup's birth name was prior to her transition. The only way I want to ever know that information is through a scene where Lup and Taako grab every offending piece of evidence with her old name on it, any other objects that tied her to her unfortunate birth as a male that makes her uncomfortable, as well as a giant sign with her old name on it and just set it all ablaze. Like the only way I wanna know about the name Lup left behind when she truly became who she was is in a giant bonfire as the twins dance around shouting her true name and setting off magic missiles that spell out her name in giant glittering letters in the night sky. That is all I want out of that scenario.

I'm struggling to pick my jaw up from the floor.

I wrote/sang lyrics to the Gravity Falls theme song since I just love this show forever so here’s a short cover! (Art used)

There’s something more to this That we have missed Things around here are suspicious Who can we put our trust in? What have they all been hiding? Secrets that lie in shadow How much do they all know? A place so full of mystery Is just a puzzle to be solved

AFTG au where everything is the same except Neil and Andrews attempts at gifting each other CRAZY FUCK-OFF expensive things is somehow ratcheted up another notch until someone (Nicky) notices them spending their literal life savings on each other and calls them out on their mutual attempt at making each other their sugar baby.

(Neil is confused as per usual, Nicky is fuxking delighted at these disaster gays competing to make the other their baby without a single word, and the rest of the foxes are internally screaming about how dumb the whole scenario is because neither will admit something more is going on. Aaron just doesn’t want to think about his brother fucking anyone let alone the suicidally stupid sugar baby who has the mafia after him)

(Andrew is contemplating murder more than usual while simultaneously looking at bigger houses in Columbia because Neil just upgraded his car that fucker)

TADASH- wait  HIR- TA-…h…NO. Idea from this post/myself I saw on my dash. c:

“Oh look a fanny pack, harmless right? Probably just carrying my wallet or some chapstick-”

WRONG

I always come prepared to send someone to the shadow realm
