And here it is at last! The Gravity Falls Multi-Artist Lyric Comic tribute to the Stan Twins, "Trouble"!

Stay tuned, as @stariousfalls is working on making all of this into a video version. That will be coming along in the next few weeks!

EDIT: here is the video!

And of course, Happy Birthday to Dipper and Mabel! (Even if this project was Grunkles-centric, Stan and Ford's stories wouldn't have come to such a heart-warming resolution if it wasn't for their niblings. Credit where it's due!)

Some credits and acknowledgements below the read-more:

(I'll have remarks and thanks in another post; but for now, thank you SO MUCH TO EVERYONE who worked on this and made it spectacular!)

This is Money Snake. She only appears every 312 years. 

If you reblog her picture within the next twenty-five seconds you will have good luck and fortune for the rest of your life.

My aroace sticker fell off my laptop and I was able to replace it immediately because a friend sent me a full pack of the suckers when she got me for secret santa a year ago.

I've been thinking about it because once upon a time, I had a friend I explained my orientation to... and they said they got, apparently very much did not get it, and proceeded to assume they were the exception to the rule. I apologized for the misunderstanding but it never stopped, until the relationship disintegrated.

It was a terrible time. I kind of thought if only I could. But y'know... you can't. That's kind of the point :/

And yet... I got a friend who I came out to, and totally unprompted... (in that it wasn't on my secret santa list) she sent me stickers.

I have other friends who get excited when they hear about anything aromantic. They reach out to me about books they think I'd like, and if there's a pride collection they're always looking for my flags, now that I'm off tiktok, they'll send videos to me via discord. When suggesting anything, they reflexively explain the amount of romance I should expect and let me decide if I'm willing.

It makes me feel loved.

Part one of our season finale is here!

[faeroace]

In autumn

Trees dye themselves

The colors of flame

And I wonder

If it's in reverence

To the fires that might

Destroy them

Since it’s Ace Week, and since it will finally come up in season five, however briefly, I think it’s time to say for sure and real that Tessa is aroace forever and ever amen.

Whenever something like what's happening in Palestine happens on the grand world wide web, there's a sudden influx in posts telling you not to look away. To keep watching. To keep forcing yourself to acknowledge the horrors that happen. Watch videos of people dying of children who just lost their parents, of cities blown to smithereens.

And like, I understand. Truly I do. But, also, that is a lovely way to accidentally traumatize yourself.

I learned that the hard way in 2020 and accidentally fried my short term memory for two weeks. So like...pay attention to your body. Interact with what you can interact with. Talk about Palestine, share threads that help you do something. But you can't help the people in those videos, watching hours of that can hurt you. What you can do is write to local government, share donation links, protest, talk to your family etc. You can help without hurting yourself.

Once upon a time, a friend of mine told me that her friends said she gave off top energy. I had to inform her that...she did not, she gave off dad energy and her friends were conflating the two (See Gomez Addams).

I had receipts too.

How many times and ways can someone say "I want a partner who can dominate me"? We found out that day.

She couldn't be nonbinary. She couldn't be nonbinary, she just thought that it seemed like such a lovely way to live. She'd watch people wear the label and wondered what it must be like to have freedom choose you.

To see two options delineated in every toy store, clothing store, and government office and choose (but here was the issue, it was not a choice was it?) to be bound by neither. To be gifted with the opportunity to define what it meant to be from scratch.

People who used the label surely didn't grow older and hear girl go to woman and wonder when they'd begun to fall and fall and fall behind, insisting on the diminutive because somehow they knew they did not fulfill the expectations of womanhood. Girlhood had been less demanding.

Everything that went against femininity was simply a childhood quirk, a surely she will grow out of it why not indulge, indulge, indulge?

Now a woman, she missed the indulgences.

Perhaps she'd simply reveled too much in a childish fantasy, perhaps, one day, once she stopped being so afraid, "woman" would fit.

She couldn't be nonbinary.

It's just that sometimes imagining it, imagining taking up new pronouns ((fae/faer) she'd decided a long time ago, if that is, she'd consider such a thing at all) and stopped folding herself down and down and down to squeeze into the parameters of a box she'd never truly fit...it made faer breath come easier. Like a weight that'd been pushing down on faer chest had been suddenly lifted and for the first time in a long time there was enough air.

It felt like breathing.

But of course those were just fanciful things. She couldn't be nonbinary. That was for different people, people who didn't choose. It was not a choice, she'd heard over and over and over again, so much so that she knew it was not for her.

But if it had been...fae would have picked it. Fae'd have picked it a thousand times over.

Because when presented with the option, who wouldn't choose to breathe?

I read a lot of isekai. Like a lot of isekai, and born again villain stories and it will never cease to amuse me that when it's a male MC (or writer) it's often: I want to be hot, and loved, and powerful, and I want a bunch of women to fall in love with me without even having to try.

And then the girl MCs are usually: Yes there's a hot guy and we will fall in love but more importantly...I (or my blorbo has) have been wronged. I will destroy everyone and everything that traitor held dear. In this life, I'll have you kneel before me before cutting your head off myself.
