I Asked My Friend @uniquechaosdetective To Give Me Some Things To Ramble About For My Washed Away Au

Dam, I want to see E guess everyone's ages now.

fandom is so weird you never know how old anyone is but you just kinda assume most of them are around your age until proven otherwise and then one day someone is talking about their 9 year old kid on your dash and another person is saying they just finished 10th grade. wild.  

how does Stan feel, knowing he tore Ford away from a husband and child? How does Stan feel that his brother got MARRIED?

I'm still trying to figure out when and how Ford exactly tells Stan about everything, but I do know that Stan would feel immensely guilty about it. However, he's not outwardly going to show that. Instead, he'd deflect and say that there was no way he could've known that. Basically, he'd act very dismissive and deflective about it just to hide the guilt he would feel over it. Stan would also feel curious about the family that Ford had made for himself, as well as slightly sad that there was never a chance for him to meet them, but those feelings would be pushed even further down than the guilt.

The last thing Stan had ever expected was for Ford to get married, to anyone. Especially not when he was in the portal. He'd be very shocked over the marriage, but once again, Stan deflects. He'd make a ton of jokes over the fact that Ford was married to a fish alien. Trust that anytime fish is brought up in any capacity, Stan will be making a joke at Ford's expense.

Moral of the story, Stan can (and will) deflect any serious feelings that he has around Ford's alien fish family.

I decided to go on headcanon generator because I've done a lot with incorrect quotes generator. Here's the results for Penni and my opinions on how canon they are.

False. Bill has literally already invaded her dreams in the one thing I've written for this au.

APPARENTLY SO! ACCORDING TO EVERY FUCKING GENERATOR!?

Hmm... I'm gonna say no here.

THIS CAME UP AGAIN?!?

Y'know what? Yeah, sure. That's kind of funny actually.

She made a deal with Bill within five minutes tops, despite being told her whole life to not make deals irresponsibly. So, no.

This was already going to be canon since I found out axolotls are practically deaf and the alien fish species is actually based on axolotls. So, they're not deaf but they are naturally loud to get past a slight lack of hearing.

Sure. Can't really say any more on this, it makes sense.

100% canon. She's not fluent in English.

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.

I've just added the brick detailing to one Bill, and I can't tell if it looks good or not. I need other opinions on it because it takes me a while to do (I don't have a sewing machine 🥲). So, if you were to buy it, would you prefer the brick details or not?

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.

I actually have a triangle of freckles on one single cheek. Kind of funny. I also debated revealing my real name here, but nah. I'm just Major, for now at least.

Also, love getting to use the incorrect quotes generator. I highly suggest people using it with their and their friends names in. Or put you and your mutuals in.

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.

When Nimirylov and Ford were steadily dating:

That doodle earlier got me in the mood for some domestic fluff and also a little bit of lore drop. So prepare for some tooth rotting domestic shit with Ford and his alien fish family.

Quick thing: Wrote this bit previously before I wrote the actual drabble and oh shit. I may have gone slightly more into the horror side of the lore than I intended.

So, TW for horror imagery around pregnancy, aliens(?) and brief mention of possession (it's Ford, what more do you expect?)

Ford laughs softly as he tries to pry his daughter's tail out of her mouth for the X time today. Penni had been teething recently and was trying to chew on anything she could get her tiny little six-fingered hands on. Obviously, her own tail was the easiest thing to grab and chew, but her favourite thing to chew was his glasses.

She was an accident borne of an interspecies miscommunication between him and Nimirylov that, despite having been sorted now, had been the biggest strain on their relationship they'd ever had. Nimirylov's species had an interesting way of breeding. The weaker of the partners would carry the child. This is because of how consuming pregnancy is for their species, meaning that the stronger partner needs to stay aware to protect their partner and child.

Ford had been completely unaware of that until suddenly there was something off with him. Nimirylov had simply thought Ford was freaked out because it was an unplanned baby. Meanwhile, it felt like a borderline horror experience for him as alien instincts overtook his body and his mind. At the worst of times, it was eerily reminiscent of being possessed. That disgusts him more than anything else.

It's unfortunately not an inaccurate description, though. These instincts were alien to him, quite literally, and he was totally at their mercy. Pregnancy was quite obviously never something that Ford had expected for himself and therefore never prepared for. Especially not one like this.

It lasted a total of fifteen months, and the last five months of it are, admittedly, a total blur to him. He'd been told later, once he'd finally been able to regain control over himself, that the way he'd acted was completely normal, if not subdued or later than what a member of their species would display pregnancy symptoms.

Arguably, even worse than the pregnancy itself, was the aftermath because then Ford had nobody to blame for how he was feeling or acting but himself. He's been reassured countless times now that the way he felt was completely normal, but at the time, it was terrible. All he wanted was to feel like the him he'd finally been able to become in this world again.

Nimirylov had had to hold him close so many times, reassuring Ford with words his instinct ridden brain could barely process.

It takes Ford by surprise sometimes now, when he looks down at his innocent little girl, that she could've caused that much terror. She's just a tiny little thing who depends on him and his fiancee more than anything. She's the one thing that finally made Ford realise that he deserves to be happy and loved.

He gently takes his glasses off and places them on her little face, watching closely as she giggles wildly as if he just did the funniest thing in the world. Ford had never understood children before, he'd barely understood people before, but his little girl was just special.

Standing up from where he'd been crouched down beside Penni, Ford considers going to see how much of his princely work Nimirylov has gotten done. After all, Nimirylov had lovingly but bluntly banned Ford from their kitchen after his last disastrous attempt at cooking. Therefore, Nimirylov was the sole chef of the house since they'd moved to a small cottage away from everyone else not long after Penni was born in order to just be the three of them for a few years.

Before Ford can leave the room to go and check on his fiancee though, his attention is demanded back by Penni.

"Dadadada," His baby girl babbles and Ford freezes.

"Nimirylov! Come here, quickly!" Ford calls loudly through the house before bending down to pick Penni up and hold her closely in his arms.

Nimirylov rushes into the room a few moments later, a look of panic on his face. His long blue hair that had been so perfectly tied up this morning is now a complete mess. Just as he's about to ask what's wrong, Ford holds Penni out proudly and announces,

"She just spoke! She said dada!" The pride in his voice is something that previously could've only been found within Ford's rambles about his achievements. All of them pale in comparison to the pride he has for Penni.

Nimirylov's eyes widen with joy, and he pulls Penni from Ford's arms to cradle her in his own arms.

"Oh, my darling little minnow, you're so smart, aren't you?" Nimirylov coos softly, poking Penni's little nose. His charisma and skill with spoken words is something Ford could never even dream to match, not even with their daughter.

"I suppose I win then," Ford says after a few moments, a slight smug look on his face.

Nimirylov had jokingly started a competition between them to see which one of them Penni would name first. Which is part of the reason as to why they're both going by human names, both in agreement that English would be an easier language for her to start talking with, seeing as she's a hybrid.

Playfully glaring at him, Nimirylov bounces Penni in his arms before trying to coax her to say "papa" as well.

It continues throughout the rest of the night until they put her down to bed. At which point Nimirylov complained, with no real upset behind it, about how Penni had stubbornly refused to say anything but "dada."
