Also me: *does nothing*

i dont hate you guys i swear i just have really shitty memory

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.

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.

I've been inspired by @romanticizing-writing

(Hope you don't mind, by the way)

Wasn't the first time I've seen this sort of idea, but I definitely hadn't thought about doing it myself before this.

So, if you want, you can make asks directly to the ocs of my au, and I'll answer as them. That way I can flesh out Nimirylov and Penni a little bit more.

I feel kind of icky making another post about asks because it feels like I'm just begging for attention, which isn't how I want to come across. Therefore, I'm going to post this and not check tumblr again until tomorrow morning. Insecurity can't get to me if I ignore everything!

Oh my gods, amazing, I love it. I also did quite a lot of infodumping to a friend before posting to tumblr.

I love the idea of Ford having zero common sense though to the point that he brings a child through the multiverse with him. Willingly. It's in character though.

Also, the daughter being called Robin feels so ironic to me. Like, a half cat alien being named after a type of bird? Please tell me that irony was intentional.

I think it’s absolutely hilarious that we both managed to independently come up with the idea of “Ford needs an alien spouse and a half alien daughter”. Like get that monsterfucker an alien wife/husband and make sure he can be the girl dad we always knew he could be. Superb.

I just scrolled all the way back to 2018 on your account and I'm disappointed to realise this is not something you've posted. Presumably.

I do agree though that Ford gives off girl dad energy in an unexplainable way. He's so babygirl that he needs an actual baby girl.

He also deserves to just have an alien spouse. Reward the monsterfuckers for once, y'know?

I quickly went through all of your posts to get an idea of the AU and I have to say, I find it very interesting (/positive)! It's original and stands out from all of the other AU's. With that said, onto the questions! 🥳

1. How did you come up with the AU? (I enjoy hearing people's though processes, especially when the idea in particular is unique and unlike any I've heard before. I'm the kind of person who loves watching behind-the-scenes content for media.)

2. What specific species of fish are the fish aliens?

3. Sorta related to the previous question, but is Ford's husband that one siren he wrote about dating in one of the journals or no?

4. How did Ford meet the prince and how did they end up in a relationship?

Thank you so much! Hearing/reading (same difference) positive stuff like that affects me way more than I always remember it doing.

1. I can't remember when I came up with the au (because I always think putting things into a timeline makes it more understandable), but I do remember just thinking that Ford being focused on revenge against Bill for 30 years in the portal is just a little bit boring. I've said that before, but it genuinely was just that thought that spiralled out into me creating this au. I wanted to create something more interesting than revenge, and I wanted something with a lot of angst potential. The clear answer to that is love. I wanted to make an au where Ford had love in the portal, that was pretty much just how it started.

2. Hahaha, this is where I reveal that I've tricked everyone. I say fish aliens because that rolls of the tongue easier, and it sounds funny, in my opinion. However, design wise, they're more based on axolotls. Currently, the sole reason for that is just because axolotls are my second favourite animal, and I think they're cute. However, I will probably come up with some lore thing that relates to it better. As for how they act, I'm just making shit up as I go along. Just picture me waving my hands and going "ooh~ alien~" every time I make up more lore.

3. I am so glad you asked that question! Simple answer, no. Complicated answer, in a way. Basically; when coming up with Nimirylov, I thought, "Base this guy off Ford's canon "love interests"." So to me, that meant, take the good traits from Fiddleford, Bill and the Siren. I assumed that Gravity Falls meant sirens as in the pop culture version of them (evil mermaids) rather than actual Greek mythology (angry bird ladies) + I didn't want to make a bird. So, that's how I came up with Ford having a smart, charismatic, alien fish husband.

4. How Ford met Nimirylov is also something I need to figure out the exact details on. Either Ford accidentally stumbled upon him, and Nimirylov was determined to get a human boyfriend, or Nimirylov found and helped Ford when he first arrived in that specific dimension. I haven't quite decided yet. As for how they got together, I'm assuming you mean how the relationship started in the first place. That was 100% Nimirylov, he did all the romantic work. I'm also going to say that the way they stayed together was through a lot of work. Ford has tried to make a runner from him, and that dimension at least 4 times. Each time, Nimirylov had to calm and talk him down.

The first time he tried to run away was before they got together, when they had started becoming friends, though. The closeness scared Ford. The second time was after the one and only time Bill appeared in Ford's dreams in that dimension, which was probably a year or two into Ford and Nimirylov's relationship. The third time was right after Nimirylov proposed to Ford. He has some sort of fear of commitment, what can I tell you? The final time was after that scene I talked about in a previous post, where Penni draws the picture of Bill and calls him her imaginary friend. This was by far the worst time that Ford tried to run away because he tried to bring Penni with him.

I kind of went on an unrelated tangent at the end, but I do that. Honestly, though, I loved these questions because I got to talk about a lot of behind the scenes stuff that I'm really passionate about but probably wouldn't have talked about otherwise. So, thanks again.
