As Gravity Falls reenters the void, and the inevitably of fanfiction begins to recirculate, there is a comment I fear I must send out to the general public.
As a trans man who gets, like, -1 representation in shows that aren’t explicitly about queer people, I often will latch onto characters that inexplicably have The Trans (TM) written into their bones, which includes Dipper Pines. And, as one might expect, I turn to my silly little A03 account to get my fix of representation and enjoyment of many a trans dilemma. Unfortunately, this is where my qualms get given the spotlight.
This is a generalization, but it seems as though every single godforsaken fic about trans!Dipper (I see this in the Spider-Man fandom a lot too, but that’s a conversation for a different day) he loses all his unhingedness, all his insanity, and is boiled down to a weak and sad little uwu trans boy who can’t handle his own dysphoria and falls apart at every slight inconvenience?
You’re telling me DIPPER, the same man who got called weak one (1) time and then disappeared into the woods for a solid 12 hours and came back half naked and rambling about positive vs toxic masculinity and manotaurs, is going to get misgendered and fall completely and utterly apart? You seriously think he’s going to have a run in with somebody who tries to bully him for being trans and he isn’t going to read them to filth? Are we forgetting that this is the same man who spent a whole episode learning about how to live and let live and then STILL told Pacifica her family was a sham with the mic-drop line of “deal with it”?????
Like good lord, please give this man some credit. I’m not saying he can’t have panic attacks, or trauma, or be treated differently by certain people, but it is the year of our lord and savior 2024 and we are STILL infantilizing trans men in fanon versions of media???
All I’m saying is if Mabel gets to keep her unhinged characteristics, you gotta let Dipper keep his too. Let Dipper punch a transphobe, as a treat.

Happy 9th anniversary Undertale
Read the poem and couldnt not do a little something about it !
“my sentient sword came out to me as transmasc, i mean, talk about un-she/they-ing your blade!”
It's funny that Cross is the only one of the Bad Guys who comes from a separate AU rather than the Undertale timeline. The former classics probably have a bunch of literally common memories. It can be awkward for Cross. At the same time, they were all engaged in science. Cross may start to consider himself the stupidest person on the team, because he's the only one who hasn't studied the space-time continuum. At least, this also applies to their boss. He doesn't know how many books Nightmare has read.
percy jackson canonically loves led zepplin, driving, basketball, and is a terrible singer. he loves his mom more than anyone (except wifey), he brags about his bad dance moves, he knows about technology and social media but doesn’t know how to use it for the life of him, he knows a bunch of random trivia (from annabeth), and he makes horrible cheesy jokes every 3.5 seconds.
i fear he is in fact a suburban white dad
Time to share this freak here.
Yup, this guy's made the rounds a few times on other sites, now he lives here.

Spread their names!
Reader: watching my hero academia
Sans: flinching every time deku breaks his bones “I swear to fuck. No one, and I mean NO ONE show this to papyrus. I don’t know if he will get more reckless or get really worried”
Red: “i fuckin’ like that bakugou. Kids a shit. But like. Fuck yeah blast kid”
Blue: “BUT DID YOU SEE HOW AMAZING ALL MIGHT IS?! OH MY GOD I SHOULD GO TO THE GYM SO I CAN BE THAT STRONG”
Horror: mumbling mostly to himself. But he gets really withdrawn and quiet when you get to the episode with moonfish and he needs some clear comfort later in the night
Killer: grinning wildly every time toga attacks “fuck yeah! Stab stab! Go go!”
Dust: he says nothing mostly. But he seems very fixated on todoroki and the progress he makes. And from then on he tries a little too. To talk more. Just to you.
Nightmare: he is grinning to himself watching both kirogiri and all for one. Clearly pleased with how they portray the villains in this show
Error: he rolls his eyes. Making comments about it being boring and for kids and such. But he hasn’t moved from your side and at some point started to lean into you
Cross: his eyelights are stuck on shigaraki and the more the show progresses. The more you learn about him and his past. The more pale and disassociating cross starts to become until you grab his hand. Grounding him. He gives you a quiet but relived smile and focuses on the show. Choosing to focus on anyone else
Sci: “I swear the more I watch the more I have started to relate to recovery girl. I too understand that pain madam”
