I Like Thinking About What Ford Taught Penni About Human Culture Because It's Such A Mixed Bag.

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.

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.

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:

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:

Literally been obsessed with @babyblankyerror Dr Pinington au for the past while. Anyways, I had too many thoughts about it to just send an ask to them, so I'm making a post instead.

I really want to do fanart for it at some point, but I just know it won't go well. I've failed at drawing Ford enough times to know I'll fail at drawing Stan. I have an idea, though, for a sketch I could do.

Anyways, I was just thinking about how if Stan and Ford's high school was able to do a dissection in science. Would Stan keep cool while doing it in school and be super excited inside? Or was dissecting and surgery something he only got excited about post lobotomy (since that seems to be canon for the au now). I just remember when I did a dissection in school, I was stimming the whole time. I still get a giddy feeling about dissection, and I don't even like blood. I just feel like the giddy feeling I get is also how Stan feels in the au.

Additionally, I was just imagining little Stan looking at pictures of human anatomy. Instead of drawing the comics he did in canon, all of his drawings have something to do with organs. I can't stop picturing him trying to get the organs looking as realistic as he can make them at his small age, being surrounded by little childish doodles.

Finally, when/if Ford tells Stan about Bill, dissecting Bill becomes like a fantasy for Stan. One because of everything Bill did to Ford, obviously, so it's semi-revenge. Two, and arguably more importantly, because he's a living two-dimensional triangle. Stan would love to cut him open and see how he works inside, especially his eye.

I think I've already mentioned on here (I keep forgetting what I've posted versus what I've just told my friend), that a lot of what happens in canon can't happen in the Washed Away au because of Ford being more responsible. However, that doesn't mean Ford is entirely responsible and so, a minor spoiler to show you all.

Ford still gives Mabel a crossbow in The Last Mabelcorn. Just, instead of saying,

"It's okay to give children weapons, right?" He says,

"You're old enough to have been trained to use weapons, right?"

Now, this is because he and Nimirylov trained Penni on how to use weapons. Ford doesn't realise that's not normal, even for Nimirylov's dimension, let alone in his.

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.

To follow on from my last post, Nimirylov as promised.

Unless being an alien fish thing counts, in which case, still no, because it's not a secret.

I've said before that Nimirylov has the combined vibes of Odysseus and Penelope so, yeah.

No, he's a prince. He's well behaved, and even if he wasn't, he probably wouldn't be jailed.

Yes. No questions asked. 100%.

Yeah, this makes sense.

No... he has a husband.

No... he works with politics.

I can see this, kind of.

Sure. He got hit by the alien fish equivalent of a bus. Told no one though.

Whilst Ford was (m)pregnant with Penni:

Nimirylov realising he accidentally got Ford pregnant:

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.
