Just spent the last three hours rereading Journal 3 for fun. So, in the Washed Away au, since the journals are all thrown into the bottomless pit after Weirdmaggedon, they all end up in Nimirylov's possession. I need to figure out more details for it, but that I can guarantee. It's very possible that Nimirylov never sees his husband again, but at least he gets his journals. It's... something?

omg your visible! you are able to be registered by human eyes this week!

The one week, I can't get away with crime because people can see me for once. I'm so disappointed. 😞

WOO! IT'S LESBIAN VISIBILTY WEEK. EVERYONE, SEE ME.

(didn't know this was a thing that was happening until seeing this post)

Tumblr Tuesday: One for The Sapphics

It’s Lesbian Visibility Week! Happy lesbian visibility to all who celebrate the visibility of lesbians all year round. Please enjoy this little collection of sapphic (fan)art to honor the occasion, and may we all remember to give the lesbians in our lives a little forehead kiss. 🧡🤍🩷

My friend texted it on the group chat because my other friend loves the pope (My crush also loves the pope and might want to become a pope, so apparently, I surround myself with lovers of the pope). Then my tumblr got bombarded by jokes about Stan Pines killing the pope.

Okay, so thank you for tagging me in this. I also got tagged by @sharksfrommars. I took me a while to get round to doing this though because I got so into sewing I forgot to put music on.

Anyways, the first ten songs from my on repeat playlist;

We'll meet again by Question Mark (The Gravity Falls soundtrack 🫣)

Kiss me by Crawlers (Love them so much, my second favourite band)

Ex-Wives by Six (I listened to Six after watching the Musical at the pictures)

Icarus by Bastille (I'm proud to be a Greek Mythology nerd)

There are other ways by Epic (I'm proud to be a Greek Mythology and Musical nerd)

HOT TO GO by Chappell Roan (I'm starting to realise how random my music taste is...)

Baby got back by Sir Mix-A-Lot (Okay, I repeat that last point...)

Fuck me (I didn't know how to say) by Crawlers (They're such a good band)

Feel Better by Penelope Scott (FAVOURITE SINGER)

Normalize by Mother Mother (FAVOURITE BAND.)

Uhhh, I don't know who I can tag into this... @is-this-name-good-enough you're my only mutual who seems to post that hasn't already been tagged.

I think I need more mutuals.

Dear Penni,

What are your thoughts on both of your parents? Are there any specific opinions you developed about them, or anything you feel stands out?

Hmm, I don't really know what to say about my thoughts about my fathers. It's an interesting question, but not one I'm quite sure about. It is quite vague... I suppose your follow-up questions add more clarification, though, so I'll just focus on them two!

My dad is the one I spend more time with because his work isn't confidential. That means that I can stay with him even while he's working on his smart science stuff. I do think, though, sometimes, that he's disappointed I don't find his work interesting. I wonder, only sometimes, if part of the reason he's so open to me spending time with him while he works is so that I end up interested in science too. I'm sure it's not, and he's never made me feel bad about not being fond of science, so it's probably just my imagination. After all, he always listens to me talk about what I do find interesting.

On the other hand, I think I'm more similar to pa. He's the one that got me interested in everything political after all, even if he can't tell me everything about it at the moment. He says I'm too young, and I've overhead him arguing with dad in the past about how loosely he parents. So, pa is definitely the stricter parent, but he's also more likely to explain himself when he tells me off, and he's the calmer one, with everything pretty much. I think pa is objectively the better parent then in that sense. He does seem to know more about parenting.

It's interesting to compare them both because they definitely both have things that I prefer for each of them. I do feel lonely a lot, even with both of them and everything they do. I don't know if that makes me ungrateful, because I can anything I want in the world.

Anything, that is, but a friend...

Well, I suppose that's as good a place as any to end it. I don't want to start sounding spoiled, even if I am a princess.

Princess Penni.

Nimirylov, why did you fall in love with Ford?

That's a complicated question, and I will counter it with an equal one. Why does anyone fall in love with anyone?

I could say everything I love about Ford, but none of those are exactly why I'm in love with him, as I'm sure you'll agree. Falling in love isn't a question that can be answered. It's an experience that never ends. When you're truly in love with someone, you fall in love with them more every day.

So, I am unable to answer why I feel in love with Ford, just that I did and I do, forevermore.

However, that feels like a cheap and easy way to get out of answering a question, so instead, I'll tell you something similar. When I first realised I fell in love with Ford.

Looking back on it, I think I had fallen for him from the first moment I saw him. It was not then that I first realised I had and was falling for him, though. Instead, it was after he'd first tried to leave. In the aftermath of that, I was struck with the realisation that I could no longer live my life fully without him. It was a shockingly obvious revelation to come to, and in the end, I will never regret it.

Dearly,

Prince Nimirylov.

Nimirylov, you are a prince, right? What’s your kingdom like? What do your subjects think about Ford?

Yes, I am, in fact, a prince. The heir of the kingdom, to be specific.

It's a beautiful kingdom in every sense of the word that you can imagine. Although I don't often set foot back there myself, I help to ensure it behind the scenes. Despite the rising political tensions, we are a prospering kingdom. Our economy is stable, our population is balanced, and our people are happy. What more could any kingdom want?

As for how the subjects view my husband? Well, he's simply my consort. He's an odd consort, of course, but it's not much different from my past ancestors taking mermaids as consorts (specifically in the past, it would be very different in this political climate). There is simply no reason for any subjects to object to Ford. He has done nothing but good for our kingdom.

Sincerely,

Prince Nimirylov.

Nimirylov did Ford ever tell you about his brother?

Ford has told me a lot of things in the past. To imply that I wouldn't have found out about his family despite the fact that we have been in a relationship for over two decades is almost insulting. He has told me a multitude of things about both of his brothers, alongside information about his parents.

I know better than anyone how much my husband can conceal information, but do you really think that is something I never would've found out about? I correct my previous statement, it is insulting, to both him and I. Truly, I hope I am not to answer any other questions of this standard.

Sincerely,

Prince Nimirylov.

Penni, what do you think about your fathers?

also, do you have any friends at fish school?

My fathers? Well, that's an interesting question for sure.

I get along great with both of them. They can both be busy a lot of the time, though, which can be quite lonely, but I get that they've both got important work to do. Dad has all his smart science stuff, and pa does loads of cool political work for the kingdom. I could talk about what pa does for hours (and I do sometimes), but I don't want to get distracted here. On the other hand, I don't really understand dad's work. He could probably explain it to me, but I have enough struggles with him teaching me that human language.

As for friends at school... I'm homeschooled, so it's a no by default. It means that my fathers can teach me what's important and spend more time with me. Additionally, it means that I'm not at risk if an official war breaks out. Tensions have been rising politically between our kingdom and the mermaids.

Pa has been making sure to keep me updated on all of that. When I was telling dad all about it, he compared it to a "cold war" which he said was a human historical that wasn't important to me.

Anyhow, I think I've gone on long enough. I'll finish this off here,

Pen Princess Penni.

Nimirylov, how have you been doing after Ford's disappearance? Have you struggled adjusting to becoming a single parent?

(I hope you don't mind the two questions. You can only answer one if it's easier.)

Thank you for your deep questions. They are not something I would normally think about, so I'll answer to the best of my ability.

Ford is dead. That's what I have to keep reminding myself. He's dead. He's dead. He's dead. I know he's not coming back, so even if he isn't officially dead, he's dead. I can't give myself, or Penni, any false hope that he'd return to us.

So Ford is dead. That's what I've told everyone, and if they believe it, then I can make myself believe it. I can handle the stages of the grief for someone who's dead. It's so much harder to mourn for someone living.

Other than trying to make myself believe that, I don't think I'm struggling at all. After all, I can't struggle. I don't have the time for it. Luckily, I've been given less work to do lately (they didn't say that, but I can tell), which means I can focus on Penni more.

Becoming a single parent is a struggle in its own right, of course, but I can't seem to focus on that. Nothing compares to the struggle of seeing how much Penni is suffering because of this. She's so young, too young. I have no idea what to do because this isn't a problem I can solve. No amount of comfort will ever bring her dad back for her. That's the real struggle.

I just wish I knew why Ford disappeared. My only lifeline is that I know he didn't do it by choice. His behaviour is always terribly obvious, and I would have known if he was planning to run away. That way, I could've stopped him... If only I knew why he'd disappeared...

Sincerely,

Prince Nimirylov.

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!

Who wins in a deal between a manipulative triangle and an aspiring alien fish politician?

I failed at drawing Penni's face as a teenager, but I at least drew her hand. She's really having a rough time when Bill approaches her with a deal. I think I'll keep the details about the deal a mystery for now, though.

Hi.

Awkward way to start my own post. I have no idea why I'm doing this right now, but I've already started.

My brain has been full of ideas for when Penni ends up finding herself with the Pines family, but I don't want to reveal too much too soon. However, I felt like sharing some information about her encountering humans other than Ford for the first time ever.

She never questioned why she has six fingers because Ford has six fingers. As such, Ford never ended up explaining to her why they both have six fingers. Consequently, she grows up believing that six fingers is just a typical human trait.

Therefore, when she first encounters another human, probably Dipper (I've not got it fully planned out yet but we're progressing forward for now as if it is Dipper), she promptly freaks over this human child missing a finger. It is an extremely stressful situation for him because he then has to try and calm down this girl with weird ears who doesn't fully speak English that he isn't missing a finger. That's just amongst other things as well. Penni's first meeting of new humans is a stressful situation for everybody involved.

I feel like more people need to hear this. Stan not only canonically writes smut. He writes self insert smut.

Who wants to hear a short excerpt of one of Stan's fanfics, read by Stan Soos himself?

(audio by alex hirsch)

Just watched Six the Musical at the pictures. I, of course, still ended up thinking about Gravity Falls and my au afterwards. So, since I need to establish more of Nimirylov's character, the song from Six that fits him the best is Heart of Stone. Obviously, it doesn't fit him perfectly, but it does fit the best.

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?

Every ship that fits this prompt deserves its own "Would you fall in love with me again" animatic, and that is final.

"You don't know me. I'm not the same person anymore."

"That's okay. I'll get to know you again."

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.

How does Penni draw under water? Does she have underwater crayons? Does she eat such crayons?

also, will the Pines ever meet the Fish Family? Would they get along? I’m just imagining Stan making awkward small talk with his brother in law.

also also, will Ford ever escape the Shape of Water jokes?

1. Penni draws underwater because to the fish people species, water doesn’t really get in the way of anything. Water to them is what air is to us, or it's at least similar.

2. As I said above, yes, basically. Don't ask me how they're made. Probably something to do with coral.

3. She doesn't seem to me like the type of kid to eat strange things. She has, however, broken them up into tiny pieces. She likes to destroy things.

4. I think I put this in the comments on one of my previous posts but I can't remember which one. Basically, I can't imagine a way for the Pines to meet the Fish family. I've came up with a small idea of how to get Penni to meet them but I need to figure out the details on that one. (Spoiler alert: it involves a certain type of deal.)

5. If they did all meet though, I think they'd get along. Nimirylov is fluent in English and Penni knows some English because of Ford so communication isn't a big issue. I think the class difference would cause a small divide between them though.

Stan making awkward small talk with Nimirylov would definitely happen. Right before and/or after Stan tries to steal/scam something clearly valuable off of him. Ford wouldn't like them two interacting, though, because if they became friends, it would be a nightmare. Stan as a person + Nimirylov's charisma and natural skill with people?

6. Finally, no, Ford will never escape any jokes that could relate back to his husband, especially. His daughter is less joked about, but they'd still end up happening, too.

Thank you so much for these questions. For all the reasons I said in my post asking for questions and because it just makes my brain happy. I love rambling about Ford's alien fish family, and I love thinking more deeply into it with things I hadn't thought about before. I'm always thinking up more for this au, though.

Literally, I always feel awkward reblogging but I feel the need to do this. It's the first time I've been tagged in anything.

1. If you could be any animal, what would it be?

No hesitation, I'm an eastern screech owl. Specifically the red ones. Those are my ultimate favourite animals. My second choice would be an axolotl though.

2. What would you choose in a hurry if you had nothing to wear

I'm assuming this means to go somewhere nice, in which case I'd probably put on any random dress I have. If it just means in general, I'd wear leggings, a t-shiry, and a hoodie or jumper. What I wear everyday to be honest.

3. Are you a witch, vampire, fairy, dryad, siren or mermaid and why do you think so?

Vampire. No hesitation. I'm ridiculously pale, I hate sunlight, and my first reaction to a cut is for me to lick my own blood. People around me already call me a vampire. The only thing going against that is my immense love for garlic though.

4. What is your style?

If I wasn't lazy and if I were rich. I would switch between a sort of alt look or full-on cottagecore. As it stands, though, I am neither of those things. So, instead, I dress extremely casually or way to dressed up.

5. Regular milk or plant based milk?

Hate to say it, but I've never had plant based milk. Only standard cows milk for me. Even if I had though, I don't think it would change my answer because I love milk. I buy milk every time I go to McDonalds. I take the tiny milk packets they give you everywhere and I drink them. I'm a little bit crazy.

6. Milk or cereal first?

Genuinely, I don't eat cereal. I haven't eaten it in years. However, I remember eating rice crispies when I was a kid, and the correct order for that is cereal, milk, sugar. No other way.

7. Favourite way to kill someone?

Ooh, final question, and this is a good one. My first thought was, defenestration, because that is my favourite word of all time. That, however, is much too obvious. I think I'm going to stick with the absolutely diabolical idea I came up with when I was a pre-teen, which is murder via potato peeler.

This was genuinely so fun and I'm so glad I was tagged in this. So, thank you!

I really don't know who to tag, though. I'm not really mutuals with people... (I think it's only tagging mutuals?)

@romanticizing-writing @is-this-name-good-enough

Here you go, though. You're both being volunteered to join this too.

thankyou for the tag @preposterousray 🖤

get to know your mutuals♡

if you could be any animal which one would you choose to be? (can be fictional) (and you can explain why if you want to) I think I would choose to be a bengal tiger because I have always resonated with them 🐅 <3

what would you choose when you're in a hurry and have nothing to wear?

hm, a black singlet top, fishnet tights and black denim shorts with lace, hair in two spiky buns, eyeshadow and lipgloss, some bracelets and obviously my scoliosis brace but that is a mobility aid lol

are you a witch, vampire, fairy, dryad, siren or a mermaid and why do you think so?

I think either a witch (darkness, chaos, magic, freedom, and power, and animals, besides I’m already into witchery) and a vampire (turning into a bat, flying, supernatural powers, macabre)

what is your style?

idk man I love and admire both gothic fashion and punk-rock fashion. diy, scraps, lace, patches, studs, spikes, fishnets, jewellery, mesh, paint, safety pins, stockings, short skirts and shorts, crop tops, weird hairstyles and makeup, expressing individuality and rebellion and the macabre and unusual — and if I’m being formal then thrifted suit jackets and vampy curly updos ✨

regular milk or plant based milk?

regular milk 🥛

which one do you put first milk or cereal?

milk because I am a psychopath

nah I’m actually kidding I obviously put cereal first I just wanted to annoy whoever was reading this

fav way to kill someone? (idgaf if you never thought of it now you have to think of something and make it at least a bit cool I'm begging)

pull one of their eyes out with my fingers, shove a handkerchief into their eye socket, and then throw them the fuck overboard a ship to drown in the unforgiving sea kaz brekker style

Maybe I just posted the last one at a bad time or something, I don't know, but I genuinely have nothing to do for pretty much the whole next week.

So please, ask me any questions you have about the Washed Away au. Anything at all, and I will answer it to the best of my ability. I'm kind of frozen at the moment because I have so many ideas in my mind that I just don't know how or which ones to get out.

Genuinely, though, any questions will be seriously appreciated. I really struggle with getting my thoughts out into words effectively, so having direction really helps me. Then, in turn, I'm feeling better in general because my thoughts aren't constantly plagued by this au.

I saw your reblog and could not get that idea out of my head. Good job, I'm in a silly little drawing mood that probably won't last long.

I'm terrible at drawing Ford, but I'm otherwise happy with this image.

It is a spinny chair they're sitting on.

Penni wears almost exclusively puffy princess dresses. Ford thinks they're impractical, but Nimirylov insists upon her wearing them.

Ford can't wear his glasses around Penni because she will steal and probably break them. That is a problem because fish opticians don't exist.

Anyway, that's why Ford is squinting. He can barely see what he's writing but it's worth it because he's spending time with his daughter.

Ford started a new journal in the Washed Away au. He made it blue to;

1. Make it distinct from the original journals which he wants to separate himself from now.

2. Because blue is the colour of his husbands hair and he's secretly a sap.

Anyway, the tiny handprint in the middle is Penni's. Ford had been writing in his journal when she had been painting, and he ended up with a new decoration for the cover of his journal.

I decides to draw Penni's picture. Can't draw hands though so it's just her fingers on the picture.

I had fun drawing childishly. I'm imagining she's like 6 in this scene.

Once again, I wish I could draw because I want to make a comic for my Washed Away au that goes like this;

Ford is just doing science stuff in his study or whatever when Penni bounds in excitedly. She's holding a piece of paper, and she asks him if she can show him her drawing of her imaginary friend. He'd smile and nod, only to promptly panic upon seeing the paper.

Because his young daughter, barely more than a toddler, is showing him a drawing of Bill Cipher.

I asked my friend @uniquechaosdetective to give me some things to ramble about for my Washed Away au and I am thankful to say, she delivered!

I'm noticing now that she hasn't fully listened to what I've said in the past, aka, she ignored what she didn't like. I'm onto you. Anyway, I'll take this one question at a time. Thank you.

Ford's child, Penni, is about 13. Probably 13 and a half, to be specific. I wanted her to be around the same age as the mystery twins but not the exact same age.

Ford gave birth. I've told you this already, and you looked at me with disgust! I've also made a post about it already here now, but I still thought I'd address it. Ford just looks like the type of man to accidentally get pregnant, and I won't budge on that opinion.

How it works is a more complicated question. I'm guessing it's basically just a c-section, but I did toy around a bit with the idea of Ford basically throwing up the child. Y'know, just got to add some more horror in there. Either way, Ford can't remember it!

They get along very well as a family. Ford's husband, Nimirylov, is very charismatic, as that comes with being a prince, and Penni is a mix of the two. I imagine that she's just as intelligent as Ford, if not more, but completely uninterested in science. She could stand there and rant about politics to either of her parents for hours, though.

Ford does not often talk about his family when he gets pulled back through the portal. After all, he sees himself as dead to them because he's been taken away from them rather than the other way around. He's mourning his family whilst also thinking of himself as dead at the same time even if he knows that he's alive.

He's very torn with Dipper and Mabel. Every interaction with them just reminds him of what he's lost with his own child, and it hurts him in the most enticing way. He doesn't want to replace his daughter, but at the same time, he's a #dad here, and these children are technically his family, too. Basically, he loves spending time with them, but it really hurts, and he feels guilty about it afterwards.

As I said, he doesn't talk about his family often, but when he does open up about them, he does it separately to each one. He tells Mabel everything about his husband and the stages of their relationship. So she reacts with excitement because "it's such a cute love story" or she'd say something similar. Alternatively, he'd make a small offhand mention about having a family that he'd love to return to but is unable to because of the dangers of the portal to Dipper when he shows him the rift. Finally, Stan is the only one that Ford tells about his child. That's what my entire last post was about, though, and this paragraph is getting long so I'm not saying anymore about Stan.
