Maybe you could call it Reunited Stans AU?
Also, how do you think the gravity falls locals would see those two? I think Ford would end up getting out of the cabin much more because of Stan. Maybe you could draw them going to town for drinks? I don't know.
I like to think the town locals would either be horrified of them and talk about them as cryptids in their own right, or just be annoyed by their shenanigans
I just remembered they’d be in their early 20s when coming to Gravity Falls haha
But yes they’d definitely start out as “those weird twins that live in the forest” but once Stanley starts feeling like he’s actually safe from that old life Ford pulled him out of, he starts going into the town, which then leads to him dragging Ford along
It’s probably a mix of both, where the town sees them as those odd guys and then also get annoyed by what they do, but also I think they’d think of them as a new endearing staple of their town once the whole “newcomer / stranger” title fades from them. It’d be sort of the same way Stan is in canon with the Mystery Shack, where even though people find him annoying, they also always come to the events.
Also Stanley 😭 your brother does not wanna be in that bar, let him go do nerd things
#doctorsiren#gravity falls#stanley pines#stanford pines#susan wentworth#gravity falls fanart#I like the au name well enough but I feel like there’s still something better just out of reach of my mind#maybe it’ll hit me later#gravity falls au#digital art#my art#procreate#doodle requests#not only was this my first time drawing her but I also had to age her down a few years since the timeline is shifted down HIUDHIOD#maybe Stan gets a job in the town even though he wouldn’t need to since Ford gets that good good research grant money#I should take into account the different ways he looked in A Tale of Two Stans#since he technically wouldn’t have looked the way he did when arriving to Ford’s cabin if Ford took him with him right after college#but I liked the ponytail so 😁😁#let that autistic boy read his book ‼️‼️#figured it out#calling it#monster hunter pines au

this is the iconic dinosaur horror jurassic park wishes it was
#so there's this person on twitter who is like an infamous drama starter and got a whole forum shut down once#and they wrote this (different) book that's one of the greatest so bad it's good things i've ever read#a few great things that happen in that:#characters get in a car crash and flee on foot. later it's casually mentioned one character had both her legs amputated 'due to fractures'#the character pretending to be american by wearing maga hats that have spy gear built into them#the spy gear in question is an alarm that blares if someone lies in their vicinity#'stuff protocol ' said the queen. 'i'm getting hammered tonight'#the chapter where the prime minister is trying to watch the news so she keeps wandering into bars and tv shops and getting kicked out#the dragon that's casually described as 'about the size of 1000 elephants'#the dragon that's a 'dog dragon hybrid with a chihuahua body and a giant dragon head'#the dragon that's owner punched it in the face and only lets people approach if they 'do the iconic royal wave'#the characters being described as 'the short one' 'the guy with the beard' etc#but there being a lengthy detailed description of the characters in harry potter#'apparently a dragon had burnt essex to cinders in a matter of minutes'#anyways i found out they also wrote (a political parody of indiana jones???) for this book of kids short stories years ago#and you know. we needed to know#so it took me like 4 months to track this precious lost media down#which was very worth it because it turns out it's full of many other iconic gems like CELLAR HELL by Elizabeth Elgie (12)

girlbossing too close to the sun.
#art#ive literally just been treating this game as a library simuator#i walk from bookseller to bookseller opening up all of their books#vivecs sermons are either a highlight or the point at which i stop reading#ive been trying to convince the ordinators that imitation is the highest form of flattery but it hasnt been working#let me wear your helmets please theyre so funny..#posting morrowind in 2024 isnt a cry for help but youre not wrong to be concerned.#morrowind#almalexia#vivec#im going to explain the chitin armor give me a moment#so the bonewalker nerevar on the shrines is adorable and it was only after drawing it however many times that i realized#it looked relatively close to a modified chitin armor#and so i modified chitin armor a few times and this was probably the cutest result#i also know i drew almalexia relatively pristine and untouched by years and vivec not so much but my thought process was#vivecs role as if not a favorite then the most accessible divine or the most “hands on” in a manner of speaking#acting in ways visible to the general population or actions explicitly brought to their attention#like not that almalexia isnt doing anything she is#but the dissemination of information regarding that is very different etc etc etc#anyways to a certain extent a god is the face on a shrine or in art or upon a statue or carving#but vivecs presence is interwoven with the geography of vvardenfell especially and his actions and writings with pubished materials#and the arts and culture and customs etc etc etc#so to me the face of a god you know and feel a commonality with or a god that walks alongside you is a face you would recognize#and vivec is already otherworldly looking enough#the simple mark of the years on his skin in some way grounding him in reality felt more right#that and i think the ways in which he and almalexia care about outward appearance are slightly different- they prioritize different things#and the ways they present outward power and their embodiment of their respective attributes share some similarities as they both have that#important preoccupation with physical power and physical strength to a certain degree#oh my god nobody read this i am yapping so bad.#tes

I LOVE Teen Stan and Ford, it’s sad they don’t get drawn enough, so thank you so much!
Does Ford ever help Stan when he gets overstimulated? Or maybe when he has a rage response and suddenly starts crying and calls himself stupid?
Here's the other post with Ford
#I am once again asking someone to write me a fic about these two posts. pretty please 🥺#this took me way too long to think off#the dialogue was escaping me#if you can guess what the book he's reading is... you won't win anything I just think it would be cool#maybe Stan got upset about his grades. or a boxing match ir something#sometimes I too bite myself. not deep enough to draw blood but enough to bruise. it's gotten better over the tears but still#now and then...#anywayszzzzzzzz#ask#anonymous#gravity falls#stan pines#stanley pines#stanford pines#ford pines#teen stan#teen ford#art#fanart#traditional art#watercolor#the last few drawings came out so nicely#both of them are emotionally constipated in their teen years (and onwards honestly) so instead of addressing the crying they ignore it#they pretend it never happened#btw here you can see my (successful) attempt at putting Ford out of the picture so I don't have to draw more#comic#long post#look at their socks#I forgot the 's' in 'books' I'm so stupid god

Books of 2024: WELCOME TO YOUR WORLD: How the Built Environment Shapes Our Lives by Sarah Williams Goldhagen.
#books#book photography#books of 2024#welcome to your world#sarah williams goldhagen#i've stared at this caption for fourteen years and can't come up with anything reasonably concise to say lol#i like architecture as a concept!#i used to collect floor plan clippings out of newspapers when 1. we got paper newspapers and 2. that was a Section in them#my parents got me some floor plan books for my birthday one year and i still have those#i just. like architecture?? as a Thing??#but i know very little about it so. i saw this (can't remember where)#and i'm hoping it will Tell Me More!#this has been on my shelf for a few years but i think it is Time#(brought to you by: i also got an architecture book about obsolescence that i want to read soon too)#(but i feel like i should Start With Background and THEN do technical textbook lol)#anyway!#excited!! this is not a one armed bedtime read though it is so fucking DENSE and has very thick high quality glossy paper XD#lots of pictures too#it feels like a LOT of book but it's not actually that long (~300pgs)

Redraw of the cape post, because that entire concept deserved better than the illustration I gave it.
#just give 12 a cape it's all I ask#yes I was watching Musketeers again#doctor who fanart#twelfth doctor#clara oswald#whouffaldi#twelveclara#guess who watched Heaven Sent + Hellbent again#I only cried half a tear but I did get Really sweaty#which is an improvement from last time#it took me about 8 years to getting round to watching those 2 episodes because Face the Raven destroyed me so hard#I'm pretty sure I couldnt eat for a whole day after FtR aired#although at that point I had been steadily absorbing Clara's personality into my own for a few years#I don't have a personality I stole it from Clara Oswald#read all of the 12clara books. listened to the audiobooks. Running out of content at a concerning rate#had to buy another comic#one day I'll have consumed all 12+Clara content. Then I'll just have to take matters into my own hands (make it myself)

ORV is about enduring the horrors in real time.
(for @everyonesfavoritebastard)
#omniscient reader's viewpoint#kim dokja#yoo joonghyuk#I read a few arcs of ORV a few years back so I am at least loosely familiar with the characters and premise.#ORV dares ask the question: “what if you finally met your beloved blorbo who helped you cope through the horrors - and he *hates you*”#The reversal of what most people feel about some of their blorbos (love them but would never want to meet someone like that in person)#I would love to keep reading orv but it is very long and I already promised to finished like...3 other shows and several books.#my gesture of affection is consuming the media my friends care about. Alas I have none who are into orv to motivate me.#Also hey there raffle winner everyonesfavouritebastard - you gave no prompt at all so I took a random swing based on ur pfp and blog#I hope you like kim dokja! I am terribly sorry if you meant to leave a prompt and something glitched#EDIT: Found out raffle winner everyonesfavouritbastard didn't know it was a raffle. Homie...I'm So Sorry.#Now I *really* hope you like Kim Dokja.#You're so valid; I too would be mesmerized by the beauty of stackedbird's lovely little apple art.

"men can't write good romance" my arse
The Tartarus arc in heroes of Olympus alone is making me almost crave a relationship like Percy and Annabeth have.
Like where I can I find a Percy Jackson variant in the wild.
Because that man is on a whole new level of 'i would die for my wife" his whole mental stability is reliant on the thought of a life with Annabeth and her safety
Rick you are not helping my standards in men or the probability of me ever finding my own loving funny man
#percy jackson#annabeth chase#percy and annabeth#percabeth#heroes of olympus#the house of hades#rick riordan#yes every few months i read the book i have been reading for years#tartarus#its so odd because i am like in love with Percy/j but he has a gf so i just have to watch them#pjo hoo toa#Hoo

anyone interested in talking about the iconic 2000's middle-grade-bordering-on-ya book series gallagher girls??
#okay incoming rant about this series#i read the first book when i was 10 or 11 and i was absolutely obssessed with it. i read it so many times i had the entire story memorized#the issue was that i could not find the rest of the series anywhere. it was either sold out or out of stock#and then i found out that only the first 3 books had been translated into my first language so at that point i kinda gave up on them#anyway#flashforward to a couple of weeks ago#i was re organizing my bookshelf and on the back i found LYKY (is this how y'all are abreviating it??)#and remembred how much i loved it#and since i'm now fluent in english and was stuck at home recovering from a surgery i decided to download the entire series and read it#to find out what the fuck happened afterwards#long story short i read all six books in 4 or 5 days#and i haven't stopped thinking about them since#it's actually so funny how little information we have in the first book#i went all of these years thinking it was mostly a silly series about a boarding school for spies when actually SO MUCH happens afterwards#i can't believe i went all of these years unaware of zach goode's existence#truly character of all time#but also i can't stop thinking about how interesting it would have been if zach had come to hate the circle and his mom during the series#rather than before#make it a true enemies to lovers#and have us witness that portion of his character developement in real time instead of being told about it#like him slowly realizing through cammie and his time at gallagher that maybe what they were doing is wrong#i think it would have been very interesting to read#although let's be real it took me until halfway through book four to trust him and he was fully one of the good guys so..#but yeah i have a lot more to say but these tags are long enough#gallagher girls#okay i just want to add another funny anecdote about my experience with this series#my copy of LYKY has an age warning in the back recomending that readers should be above 13 yo to read it#and i distinctly remember finishing it and thinking the warning was kind of dumb bcs besides a few mentions of death and other heavier topi#nothing really happened#and now i realize it was a warning for the rest of the series not just the first book because jesus fucking chirst everything after

some nico headcanons I have
Nico’s fighting style is mostly greek, but while on the run in the maze Nico learned to fight by raising the dead and having them teach him. Because of that it’s not uncommon for him to do something that surprises and terrifies everyone
ever since the Jar Incident Nico’s become a lot closer with the Ares kids
just like the Athena kids have arachnophobia all Ares kids have some degree of claustrophobia which can either kina suck or “the bunk beds are going to kill me if I have to sleep on them”
Nico grew out of the Ghost King nickname and he thinks it’s cringe but it’s been so long that everyone calls him it. It makes him think of Minos and the worst time in his life when he was living on the streets and so so angry and full of grief and hate.
He thanks the gods every day that Minos found him instead of Luke during that time because he knows, he knows that if Luke had offered him revenge against Percy back then he’d have taken it in a heartbeat. He’d have taken it because the gods needed to pay for letting his sister die.
Along those lines, Nico likes McDonalds because he had to like it. An ten/eleven year old can’t get much money his only options for food was finding change to get a happy meal or asking adults for money for food and praying they’d take pity on him
Nico collects sisters like mythomagic cards. Fuck with him and he’s the least of your worried when you have Annabeth, Piper, Hazel, Rayna, Clarisse and just about every girl in Camp Half Blood and Camp Jupiter standing behind him ready to fuck up your entire life.
Nico can always see Thanatos, sometimes he stares at nothing but he’s having a staring contest with Thanatos. He does this a lot when Will’s trying to save a camper’s life. It works far too well. No one really minds, if anything it’s funny because Thanatos loses nearly every time, even when he doesn’t it’s usually enough of a distraction that Will’s stabilized the camper and Thanatos isn’t needed
#I had other ones but I forgot them so oops#but yeah there's a few headcannons I have#can you tell I've not read the books in like 4 years#because I haven't#in like 2029 my brain decided actually books are terrible and I can't read them#Like I read an 800 book in a day or two#now I've been trying to read I'm Gald My Mom Died and it's taking me months to get like halway through#Nico di Angelo#Percy Jackon and the Olympians#Heroes of Olympus#The Apollo Trials#pjo#hoo#the sun and the star#tsats#percy jackson#annabeth chase#clarisse la rue

Friendly reminder: Elain has a mate and "his name is Lucien".
That's it, that's the post, since a lot of delulus seem to be forgetting that :)
#elucien#pro elucien#I'm so tired of antis twisting canon#I doubt they have read the books at all in the past few years#they're even proud of the fact they constantly forget the characters 😂#sjm would be disappointed lol

FABLEHAVEN MOVIE IS REAL??? oh my god that is my FAVOURITE book series. please god I hope it ends up being good <3
(I'm keeping my expectations very low of course lmao, I've been burned wayyy too many times by bad movie adaptations. but honestly I'll just be happy if it brings more people into reading the book series!!
other than one or two things (*cough cough the horrific disaster of Brackendra cough cough*) it's such a SEVERELY underrated series and one of the only childhood favourites of mine that has actually held up enough that I enjoy rereading it to this day!!!) (also hands-down the best inclusion of indigenous peoples into worldbuilding that I've ever seen, which is really cool!!)
#also I want more fanfiction >:)#there's such a lack of longfics in the fandom#which is fair because it IS technically like a middle school book series#but idc it's actually one of the best things I've ever read trust#also I have a longfic I started writing for it a few years ago actually that I need to publish/finish one day#well. once I rewrite everything I've written so far because it's old LOL. but maybe a movie will give me motivation to actually go do that#fablehaven#my post#I need to draw fanart someday too smh#actually I've made some before but I think that was in 2018 so yeah obviously I need to make more dkjfgskjf#Kendra and Seth deserve that much <3#edit: wait lowkey forgot about Coulter's Entire Existence and that scene with Warren in his cabin. and that one satyr#so maybe there are more than *one or two* problems lmaooo#to be fair that is true of like every fandom ever though. so

25 in 2025
tagged by @agardenandlibrary! I like how we've just decided to keep adding one book every year. How long can we keep this up? Personally, I never plan my reading out super far in advance, so when making a list I always stall around 10 books and have to run around my house looking at stacks of books I have sitting out/scroll through my haphazard "to read" tag on here. But here's a rough idea of what I'll aim to read this year! (Color key below)
Conrad's Fate, Diana Wynne Jones
The Pinhoe Egg, Diana Wynne Jones
Deep Secret, DWJ (I'm already rereading this, but I didn't start until 2025!)
The Merlin Conspiracy, DWJ
Maiden's Trip, Emma Smith
At least one Ngaio Marsh or Dorothy Sayers book (I just know this will happen at some point)
Trashlands, Alison Stine
Where the Dark Stands Still, A.B. Poranek
Elatsoe, Darcie Little Badger
Survival of the Fritters, Ginger Bolton
The Alpine Zen, Mary Daheim
Strange Brew, Kathy Hogan Trochek (and probably the rest of this series, but feels like cheating to put all 3 as separate items!)
Swordspoint, Ellen Kushner
Graveyard Shift, M. L. Rio
The Examiner, Janice Hallett
Saving Susy Sweetchild, Barbara Hambly
A Sorceress Comes to Call, T. Kingfisher
Braiding Sweetgrass, Robin Wall Kimmerer
Dread Journey, Dorothy B. Hughes
The Signal and the Noise, Nate Silver
River-Horse, William Least Heat-Moon
Caste, Isabel Wilkerson
The Odyssey, trans. Emily Wilson
Forthcoming Benjamin January series book, Barbara Hambly
Hopefully some weird fantasy/old mystery book I find in a used bookstore on an upcoming vacation
Planned rereads (of books I own), library books (already checked out, or planning to check out), owned books I need to read/finish for the first time, books I hope to own by the end of the year
The first four library books I have currently checked out and need to get to soon, the rest are just books I want to read but don't plan to purchase. The red owned books aren't books I'll necessarily keep (except Braiding Sweetgrass, which I just got for Christmas) but I got them somehow or other, from free libraries or friends/family passing them along, and now I need to read them and decide!
I promised to tag @bigcats-birds-and-books so here is that belated tag! and then some people who I don't think have done this yet? @tinynavajoreads, @therefugeofbooks @theinquisitxor and anyone else feeling the urge! (No pressure, as always!)
#now i remember why i think i avoided doing this last year#coming up with a full 25 books was hard!#i feel fairly confident I'll actually read a good few of these though#braiding sweetgrass#seems to be on several people's lists; so i'm glad to be on that bandwagon!#(of course several other people have already read it - so i look forward to joining your ranks!)#25 in 2025#to read#(<- so i can find this later and remember what i said i'd read!)
