I Agree. Absolutely Love Her And Need More Content Of Her. Please?

Mabel having six fingers is one of my favourite aus. I mean, I love any au centred on Mabel, and I love any parallels between Mabel and Ford, so it's not surprising but I just love it.

...and then they were attacked by gnomes lol

This is what cleverly entitled "Six-point comic" (AKA Dipper discovering journal 3 in a universe where Mabel also has polydactyly)

The inspiration was this over on Ao3 by @wickerss-s (hope you don't mind being @'d)

Bonus:

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

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...]

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.

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.

When Nimirylov and Ford were steadily dating:

I am about to make an army of tiny Bill Ciphers. No one can stop me. I will not heed any warnings against it either. Nothing bad can come from making many Bill Ciphers.

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.
