Currently obsessed with Gravity Falls. Cooking up my own AU for it :> Washed Away au.
107 posts
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.
Well. I wrote the Bill and Penni deal after postponing writing it for the past few days.
I've posted it on my ao3. Go and read it:

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.
This is such an important thing to talk about. I'm British, but because of my obsession with history, I've never liked England, even hated it at points in my life.
I will say that that's an important distinction to make. The British Empire was mostly because of England. Wales was taken over by England for so long, and Scotland never got along with England.
The British Empire is not something to glorify at all.
I think a LOT of the political issues faced by the UK today come from a sense of wanting to get back to “the glory days”. We’ve kind of mythologised the time when Britain “ruled the world”, to the point that it’s a part of our very culture, to the point where it’s kind of treated on culture as our divine right.
I’m British Bengali, and I know the history of Bangladesh. I know how my people suffered under British rule. There wasn’t enough physical a price to pay, back then. Britain ruled a quarter of the world at the cost of very real human lives. They justified it by dehumanising the people they were oppressing.
yeah, the British Empire was cool, like as a concept. But the kind of hunger for international power is a rot at the core of our culture. We never should have ruled over so many, we shouldn’t have imposed ourselves and our values on other cultures. The idea that ANYONE has that right is a problem for any just society.
Most powerful politicians, at least subconsciously, believe that. I actually think most brits believe it, though by no fault of their own. But that belief is leading to more suffering for the people in the country. We have all these politicians more focused on sucking up to America than making any meaningful change.
it’s all a pathetic play for power. If the government were more focused on making lives better for brits than trying to be seen as the empire it once was, we would be in a MUCH Better position. The right are so obsessed with “British culture”, when they’re the ones KILLING the culture in the name of GDP.
:/
I think this is reading number six of the thigh high dimension post. This time, with spelling and grammar mistakes.
@greenbunny7 I told you I'd get round to doing it.
I don't know who else I'm supposed to tag for this, so, just tag relevant people in the comments.
Is it just me, or do other people absolutely love au crossovers? Like, please, I need some good au crossovers.
This is also permission for anyone to make any crossovers content with their au and my au if they're so inclined. I would literally melt into a puddle of joy if that happened.
Ooh, very okay.
I feel the need to do something and post something right now so if anyone has any ideas, prompts or asks. Please interact with me now.
For now, though, poll!
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 wanted a nerdy name that would get across what my interests are. However, since my hyperfixations can come and go really fast, I didn't want anything that tied me to a specific fandom. That's why I decided to have fanfiction in my name because reading fanfic is what I do in every fandom I'm in. The majoring part is just because I like education and thought it would be a decent pun.
Anyhow, I'll tag @sharksfrommars and @is-this-name-good-enough
I'm gonna try to start one of these lmao
In Breath of the Wild, Urbosa calls Zelda her little bird, I modified it and stole it basically. sometimes I am also Birb because it's just funny
@itsa-thing @i-love-zelda-16 @fithesworddweller @alientheoristemmy @lizzable @astoria-nyx-moon @amayis-bigtower @loaboo @preposterousray @stargazin-on-mars @rav3nz3r0 @crims0nr0s3 @clowncore09 anybody else that feels like sharing ig
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.
This is pretty similar to what the Nazis did. This is Nazi behaviour, no other way around it. I've never been more glad to not live in America.
If any person in this country does not have due process, then no one has due process. You’re a citizen? Oh yeah? Prove it.
My drawing of Penni got me thinking, so I made some little doodles.
[Image 1: Doodle of Penni with an arrow pointing at her that says "About to cry"]
[Image 2: Bad doodle of Dipper (I was having so much trouble with the hat that I ended up drawing it first and drawing him from it) with an arrow pointing at him saying "Doesn't trust her"]
[Image 3: Coversation between Penni and Dipper, denoted by their symbols rather than them themselves. Goes as follows;
Dipper: Where are you from?
Penni: Water
Dipper: And you're here because?
Penni: ...
Dipper: You're here beca-
Penni: Your finger is gone!
Dipper: What? No it- nevermind...]
Finally, I did this post below:
This is Penni when she would first get introduced in the story. Yes, those boots are massive. No, she can not walk in them properly.
Don't worry about those bandages, she's not bleeding... from the front.
She's having a very rough time of it.
Stanley would instantly be on alert because this was the last thing he'd been expecting. Scratch that, this had never even been something he'd ever imagined. Not only was this the last place he'd want to reunite with his twin, but clearly, Ford isn't in any state to be reuniting right now.
Ford is in that much of a state of intoxication that Stan can't help but wonder if this is the first time he's ever gotten drunk. Not to mention, he'd never quite pictured Ford getting drunk before, it always seemed too out of character for how nerdy he was.
Stan doesn't know what the people in charge are expecting from him. Obviously, they didn't tell him anything about who he was supposed to sort out other than a basic description, but they would've been able to tell the similarities. They mustn't have wanted him to try and back out before doing it if he'd known that who it was was clearly related to him. Had they then hoped that if he got this far he would be unable to back out?
Well fuck that. Stan doesn't play by the rules, and he's not going to start now. Not when his twin is dangerously drunk and clearly needs to be taken out of here.
So, all he has to do now is get Ford out of here safely. Whether Ford wants to or not. Which seems to be a very high possibility with the way he's drunkenly staring at another slot machine.
Have an idea for a fic that I’m definitely not going to write.
essentially, ford hits a roadblock in his research, but doesn’t summon Bill. He’s just burned out from all that gifted kid syndrome, trying to power through it. His mother recommended he take a break, and the perfect opportunity for that arrived when Fiddleford calls, asking Ford to be his Best Man, and inviting him to his bachelor party.
in Vegas.
so Ford reluctantly goes with Fiddleford and two of his other friends to the city of sin, and Ford completely DESTROYS the casinos. He’s counting cards, he’s worked out the algorithm for when the slot machines hit a jackpot, and he gets SUPER drunk. Ford is having the time of his life cus he gets to use maths to flex on people. And he’s NOT SUBTLE.
so at the end of the night, the casino take Ford out back, and send a goon to beat him up.
and you’ll never guess who the goon is!
so now Stan and Ford have to work together and try to escape the gangs and crime lords that run 1970s Las Vegas.
I call it Gifted Kid Syndrome.
again, not doing anything with it, feel free to do anything with the idea, up to and including wiping your butt with it. Just like, tag me or whatever.
I agree. Absolutely love her and need more content of her. Please?
Emma-may doodles :3
Need this to happen. It's just too perfect.
Okay now that Stan is tumblr sexyman, we obviously need to let Eda win the sexywoman award and make them the sexycouple
I feel the need to make more content for the Washed Away au + I seem to be getting more creative again. However, I already know I don't have the motivation or the skill to do everything I want to do, so, it's up to you.
Keep in mind that I might not be able to do this straight away, but I want to at least try doing one of these.
I know I'm late but I couldn't resist spinning the wheel even if I can't vote in the poll.
That's... yeah. I'd be pretty confused.
okay, okay. Imagine you're watching Gravity Falls for the first time. You watch all the episodes in order EXCEPT one of them is mysteriously left out.
spin this wheel to see which one you skipped
reblogs appreciated!
Ooh, I'm pretty boring, honestly. Having too many tabs open stresses me out. It's like the virtual equivalent of having a messy room.
Saying that, though, I have 5 tabs open on Samsung Internet. That's my default browser for ao3. I use it like an ao3 app.
There's also the BSD manga because my best friend has been begging me to read it.
As a plus, though, I have this many fics saved to the homescreen.
Anyways, I thought this was pretty fun and will be tagging @sharksfrommars and @romanticizing-writing
Does anyone want to play a little game?
It's called "how many open tabs do you have on your phone"
I'm gonna start: 393 tabs in chrome...
Most of it are Ao3 tabs and Tumblr Masters-Posts to various intriguing/ interesting AUs
I'm gonna tag someone bc I want to, but anyone feel free to reblog and play along...
or ignore it... @majoringinfanfiction ...?
