Gravity Falls Alternate Universe - Blog Posts

This is not going to happen in the Washed Away au, but I might do a crack oneshot of it at some point. Just an au of the au, y'know?

I can't stop imagining if Ford was pregnant again when he came out the portal. Like, he doesn't know, Nimirylov doesn't know, nobody knows. He's just slowly acting more strange as the timeline of the show goes on.

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 think I've already mentioned on here (I keep forgetting what I've posted versus what I've just told my friend), that a lot of what happens in canon can't happen in the Washed Away au because of Ford being more responsible. However, that doesn't mean Ford is entirely responsible and so, a minor spoiler to show you all.

Ford still gives Mabel a crossbow in The Last Mabelcorn. Just, instead of saying,

"It's okay to give children weapons, right?" He says,

"You're old enough to have been trained to use weapons, right?"

Now, this is because he and Nimirylov trained Penni on how to use weapons. Ford doesn't realise that's not normal, even for Nimirylov's dimension, let alone in his.

Angst is my soul and crack ships are my blood.

Official post for me revealing that I've genuinely considered putting Fiddlestan in the Washed Away au because I love that ship. Unfortunately, I want it to be more similar to canon than that. Alas, I'll make Fiddlestan content eventually.

The last ask I answered opened up the floodgates to the lore I've been working on for Nimirylov's family. So, now, I feel the need to share information about the sister of his I briefly mentioned.

She's older by a few years but, 1. She abdicated the role of heir and 2. She's very irresponsible and nobody wanted her to have power over the kingdom.

She shows up to visit every few years, and each time comes with more chaos. The specific reason as to why Ford dislikes her is because she taught little Penni how to make a whirlpool. Ford was very unhappy about a 7/8 year old Penni running around making whirlpools and causing chaos everywhere. Nimirylov wasn't happy either, but he has been dealing with his sister's antics since childhood.

Just want everyone to know that Nimirylov does not know that Ford's actual name is Stanford. Ford just introduced himself as Ford when they first met and just... never mentioned his technically real name.

Penny, how much do you know about your dad’s family? Does he talk about them often?

Hmm, dad's family? That's an interesting question. After all, I've never met them, so they're not really any relevance to me. They're strangers to me even if they are important to dad.

So, no, dad doesn't talk about them often, and I don't know much about them because I never really asked. I mean, I know he's got a twin brother and another brother. I'm pretty sure at least one of them has a name beginning with "S"... He's also got a mother and a father, which is apparently the standard for humans.

I know dad and pa talk about dad's family, but it's just never really been something I've cared too much about.

Also, dad looks kind of sad every time we see pa's side of the family, and they do something nice, so I don't think dad's family was very nice. That makes me want to know even less about them.

Although, looking back on it, dad used to look slightly jealous every time pa's sister came to visit. When pa and auntie were having fun and getting along, dad always got a weird look in his eyes. Now, he's just annoyed whenever she comes round but that's a long story...

So, in summary, no, to both of your questions but just because of my own disinterest.

Ignoring the fact that if dad wanted to tell me about them, he still would bring them up. The same way he does with science...

Sincerely,

Princess Penni Pines.

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.

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.

This question isn't targeted towards a specific character because I don't know who I would ask it to, but how does Ford breathe in Nirmylov's dimension? I mean, his species is an aquatic kind, so they live underwater, right? If so, then how is Ford living a stable life under water?

If Nimirylov's kingdom isn't underwater, then I apologize. I just assumed that it was based off of the information you gave on his species 😅

Ooh, I've been waiting for someone to ask this question because it's something I've thought a lot about. It is underwater, but at first, I'm imagining that Ford had some sort of thing that allowed him to survive universes like that for short periods of time. After all, there would've been lots of places like that in the multiverse.

Then, he found out (aka Nimirylov gave it to him) that there was a coral that helped with breathing underwater. So, for a time, as long as Ford ate that frequently enough, he'd be fine.

Finally, though, because that coral was never meant to be a permanent solution (it was basically a medication, and I don't think Ford would like medication), Ford gets surgery. It just allows him to breathe under water, and, because I explained this to my friend multiple times, it doesn't damage his ability to breathe on land.

I'm not actually going to do anything with this idea, but it's been slightly infecting my brain.

My favourite one of the more mainstream gravity falls aus is Drifting Stars. So, combine that with my Washed Away au. Ford and Nimirylov are on their nice date when suddenly a portal opens up, and a human girl about their daughters age falls out. She's clearly not fine, passed out, and neither of them could even imagine just leaving her like that...

Mabel wakes up in a strange cottage. All she can remember is the flash of white after letting go of the button. Then walks in a weird aquatic man followed by someone who she mistakes for Stan at first.

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.

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.

WHAT THE FUCK DID PENNI DO???

Help. I was trying to do incorrect quotes for Mabel, Dipper, and Penni, but Penni just keeps getting called some variant of a hoe. Why does the generator (and Mabel and Dipper in the generator) think that about her? What is this telling me?!

Whilst Ford was (m)pregnant with Penni:

Nimirylov realising he accidentally got Ford pregnant:

When Nimirylov and Ford were steadily dating:

Right after Nimirylov and Ford started dating:

Before Ford and Nimirylov started dating:

Why the fuck did this one come up?

No, no, no, Nimirylov. Stop. Please.

This is your warning post that I am going to be spam posting incorrect quotes for the Washed Away au.

I'm still going to write the oneshot of Penni's deal with Bill, but I kind of forgot that I had not thought of any of the exact details of how it goes down. So, for now, whilst I'm still struggling with it, just think of "We'll Be Fine" in Epic the Musical.

Penni has been giving me major Telemachus vibes ever since I started thinking deeply about her, and Bill is just bending the truth the whole time. Honestly, though, that song (and Legendary) have been the only songs I've listened to whilst thinking out how the deal goes down.

I was thinking about the last post I've made, so I've decided that I want anyone and everyone's ideas on what Ford would've and wouldn't have taught his hybrid daughter about humanity! The funnier the answer, the better!

I like thinking about what Ford taught Penni about human culture because it's such a mixed bag.

Like, yes, obviously, he taught her about the holocaust. He was raised Jewish and that's an important part of history that his child should know. No, he did not tell her what rain is.

Yes, he told her about how humans drink water because they don't live in it and can't absorb water through gills like she does. No, he did not tell her what middle names are.
