never fucking read dipper goes to taco bell. what the actual fuck.

part of me has a deep desire to write stan teaching soos' kid how to play blackjack. something about how "its important for him to learn addition and the worth of certain items using candy. hes also won like 7 games he's gonna grow up to be banned from vegas just like his grandpa. im so proud."

stan is the kind of person to not come out as trans until she fully transitions and presents as a girl completely wendy is also the kind of person to not come out as trans until he fully transitions and presents as a guy completely. so one day soos comes into work and it seems like the two of them just switched genders. nobody even addresses the change, so soos just thinks theyre playing some kind of prank or something.

and then it stays like that forever. and it doesnt change. because they just decided to transition on a whim one day. get everything sorted out before you even bother with it.

stan sometimes has to get up at ungodly hours of the night in order to help soos with a simple problem. ford sometimes has to have uncomfortable conversations with tate in order to explain himself and apologize. but thats not what matters.

what matters is that theyre better than filbrick

and the fact that they broke the cycle.

ok ive been thinking about valentin a lot lately so im just going to infodump what i have right now.

first i should say. i dont plan on giving the guy trauma. i know its a whole thing with ocs and that they always have trauma, but i really dont want to do that with valentin. and i have a reason for this. the whole reason i want stan to have a boyfriend like this in the first place is because he deserves to have some kind of stable figure in his life. someone who can comfort him and be understanding of him without their own issues also weighing down on them. valentin is in a place where he is able to be that kind of person for stan. and thats because hes mentally stable enough to do that. okay now for the actually entertaining stuff. valentin is a very gentle and nice guy despite how big and scary he is (and the fact he kills people..) and is friendly with pretty much everyone in town like stan is.

hes very big into parkour and stuff. before he moved to gravity falls it was more urban parkour, scaling buildings and such, and afterwards he got really interested in exploring the forest and climbing the trees. he sees it like a giant playground. its very fun.

him being into parkour is actually what led to him becoming a hitman. i couldn't for the life of me tell you how exactly he ended up with that job, but it made a decent living and he didn't mind it much. but whatever

he has a few piercings. he has pierced ears (which was in the concept art) and ive decided he can also have snakebites and a nose piercing too, why the hell not. he probably has a few tattoos too, but i havent put enough thought into those yet.

speaking of snakebites. he loves snakes. i think everyone deserves a favorite animal and his is snakes. stan is inexplicably terrified of snakes so whenever theres one in the shack or on the porch then valentin is the one to take care of it.

also. remember how i said "dont ask this guy where he was in the mid 80's" on the concept art? well since youre here i might as well give some clarification to that. there were like. "parties" for bears in the 80's in california. he was over there. for completely unrelated reasons. dont worry about it. dipper was one thousand percent convinced valentin was a werewolf when him and mabel first got to the shack. sure, he was really nice to them, but what if it was all a ploy so he could eat them or whatever werewolves do?? plus, he was always running off into the forest to "work out". it was suspicious.. and then he realized valentin was just really active and liked nature. boring.

mabel loovves doing valentin's hair. its so long, the possibilities are endless!! lots of times he ends up just being a model for her, doing different hairstyles or wearing different accessories. its very sweet and wholesome and cool.

soos basically has two dads now. valentin is always there to teach him stuff and give advice. compared to stan he's the voice of reason most of the time. they're very close.

dont think i forgot about wendy! he's close with wendy too! she taught him how to use axes to climb trees more efficiently and other methods of navigating the forest. he taught her how to fire guns. it's great.

and now the best for last. stan.

valentin met stan after moving to gravity falls in order to be more secluded and less likely to be hunted down by cops. this was about 7 years after stan got there, so he was already pretty settled in. they met in greasy's diner and talked for a while, hitting it off. they kept meeting there for lunch and sometimes breakfast, and after a while they grew closer and hung out more often. blah blah blah they start dating its all great. cool!

fun fact. they're unofficially married. they can't legally get married since it was like. the 90's when they started dating and even then the timeline goes up until 2012 where same sex marriage still wasn't legal. but they said "hey even if we can't sign the paperwork (which would be a headache anyways) we can still wear matching rings and live together and basically be husbands but socially instead of legally." and so they're. basically married.

i said in the concept art that valentin is kinda housewife like? yeah. he takes care of the house and stuff while stan goes out and works, and really just. likes baking. it seems out of place considering everything else but he just likes it.

when stan finishes his work day, its immediately to valentin for emotional support and cuddles. theres nothing more relaxing than just sitting back and letting val hold him close. maybe talk about how their days went. domestic bliss and all that.

shockingly valentin is very bad at flirting. but not in the way you're probably thinking. stan will say something like "damn baby youre body is soo beautiful. all of that working out is really paying off huh." and then valentin will reply like "well i think your eyes are pretty and your silver hair brings out the way they shine when you're happy" like how the hell is stan supposed to reply to that. valentin is so stupid /aff

also stan gets flustered very easily around him. no matter how badass you think he looks with his brass knuckles ready to fight, he looks like a pathetic wet cat next to valentin.

ive also had a lot of thoughts about him and ford interacting, but im gonna put that in another post because this alone is already over 900 words and thats too much. so uh. yeahh. hope you like him.

i decided to draw this.

duuude i just realized. soos being adopted by stan + fiddauthor means that soos and tate would be cousins. i think thats cool and makes sense. like imagine soos being at the tackle shop fixing a lightbulb or something yapping about some random bullshit and tate's just sitting there running the shop listening and occasionally nodding. that just makes sense. they would definitely have that older/younger cousin dynamic. they even have the same outfits even though theyre just employee uniforms but shhh let me dream

I love watching dvds... bc the little commercials beforehand will be like "coming to you spring 2008!" like man. I can't wait for 2008

This is a very important addition to the post

I saw this meme and had to make it with Gravity Falls

Never not being insane about Wendy and Soos btw. They're such found family. Such siblings. Soos has none. Wendy has many. Soos is shy and silly (/aff). Wendy is an angsty teenager (/aff). Soos is aloof and playful. Wendy is reserved and cutting. Soos seems childlike but is actually protective and responsible. Wendy seems tough and laid back but is actually a kid. They both love the twins. The both love Stan. They both love the Mystery Shack because it's like a second home to them.

They are the type that would've never interacted with each other in high school but got stuck in some extracurricular activity together and now they'd kill for each other. And maybe they don't spend that much time together (because of their age difference, or work, or family, or their other friends), but they will consider each other siblings. They will refer to each other as one of their best friends.

Because there's something so special in forming a connection with someone that you know you wouldn't have ever crossed paths with if not for one tiny little coincidence (getting hired at the same place).

I love Wendy and Soos man

Here I'm going to lore dump about characters in the Half Reversed Reunion AU. Actually, it's more like a personality dump.

Mabel and Gideon are pretty similar to their canon counterparts. However, Gideon, like in the traditional/regular Reverse Falls Gleefuls, has enslaved Will.

Will Cipher is reverse Bill Cipher. He's usually whiny, I think, but in a lot of stories the Gleeful twins literally torture him so . . . he can be a little whiny.

Pacifica is Pacifica Southeast. She and Mabel became best friends after a brief mini golf rivalry when they were younger. She's much more cheery than her canon counterpart but can still be sassy.

Dipper is much more serious/solemn than canon, and he's not a murderer or a torturer like many Reverse Dippers. He has the tendency to just Say Things.

I know I said Gideon earlier, but here I'm going to write that he's spoiled and generally gets whatever he wants, plus the amulet he has is corrupting his soul like in canon. Dipper is closer to his mother than he is and he's jealous of that. It's his own fault because of reasons that I may make clear here or I might wait until I write the story to reveal.

Soos is similar to canon, except he works for the Gleefuls. Half the reason he stays around is to keep an eye on Dipper, though.

Robbie is the cashier in this universe and Wendy is the handywoman. They have an on again/off again relationship that's going nowhere. They both have similarities to their canon counterparts but Robbie's a little softer, so to speak, and Wendy's a little more edgy.

The story is focused on the four kids so I haven't spent much time on what the Stans are doing. Stan is running the Mystery Shack and Ford is traveling around studying, probably.

Here's the finished version . . . honestly not my favorite, but it's okay.

I was little when Gravity Falls originally came out, a little too young to not be spooked by it, but old enough to remember it and have received a bunch of spoilers. Now that I’m watching it in full with my youngest brother it’s so much fun to watch his raw reaction to the secrets being revealed. Stan opens the portal? This six year old is absolutely losing his marbles. Bill appears for the first time? He is quite literally on the edge of his seat. It’s wonderful to see such a pure unaltered reaction when I know how everything is going to play out.

Happy 10 year anniversary Gravity Falls!!

Shitposting cuz its funny

i think one of my favourite parts of gravity falls is just. soos in general. a different show would probably have a character like that- y’know, a fat guy who’s in that early-20s age where nobody wants to acknowledge that nobody knows what they’re doing but they’re not a kid anymore so they’re no longer part of the “marketable demographic” for kids, i think a lot of other shows would make him the punching bag or the butt of jokes or portray him as weird or creepy or a failiure. but no, soos is genuinely a big part of the heart of the show. he’s allowed to be a bit of a dork, and have a non-standard path in life- it’s treated as part of the quirks that make him lovable! the twins think he’s super cool, he’s smart, funny, genuine, kind- and when he gets his own episode in soos and the real girl, his issues with talking to people are just treated as so much more HUMAN than i’m used to for characters in his demographic. it’s really sweet. and i’m glad they do that. i really like soos.
