Why The Fuck Is My Tumblr Just Posts About Pope Leo XIV? Where's My Gravity Falls Mix Of Angst And Crack

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 love squaring people.

Ooh, very okay.

Reblog if you're okay with people coming into your dms or ask box with storylines and rp ideas!

Just want everyone to know that Nimirylov does not know that Ford's actual name is Stanford. Ford just introduced himself as Ford when they first met and just... never mentioned his technically real name.

Don't have brain space to write what I want to write down right now but I still have the itch to write something. So, I'm giving the basic summary of the gravity falls au that has been living in my head rent free for the past few weeks.

Basically, I was thinking, revenge is boring. Ford spending those 30 years in the portal trying to destroy Bill is boring. What if, and just trust me on this, he'd actually, like, found a home and made a life in a different universe?

So, Ford's got himself this perfect life that's more peaceful than he ever could've thought was possible for him. He's got an alien husband (the only alternate to gay Ford is aroace Ford) and a little alien child.

Then Stan opens the portal. Ford is torn away from his whole new life and family. Not to mention he'd just have to accept it because opening the portal again would be dangerous. There's so much more angst potential and I need to get this out of my brain and inflicting other people as well.

Just write it yourself but put random nonsense in it that's obviously wrong. Say that's just the fault of the ai, and if they want the work correct, then you can't use ai.

a writing competition i was going to participate in again this year has announced that they now allow AI generated content to be submitted

their reasoning being that "we couldn't ban it even if we wanted to, every writer already uses it anyway"

"Every writer"?

come on

Progress on the Bill's so far...

They're all naked.

I am still 100% completely and utterly sure that this is perfectly good idea. And having the amount of them being a multiple 3 probably makes it even better! I don't think they're too happy being so close to the fez, though...

Well, I'm sure that's irrelevant.

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.

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.
