Stan and Soos' sorta-Dad and Sonployee relationship

We of course have Soos assigning Stan as his father figure the moment he got hired

But Stan holds that moment dear too, with Soos becoming his main source of company after the Mystery Shack, his first big success, was starting to hit rock bottom. And he made sure to keep the screwdriver that led Soos to him for a decade which unfortunately gets stolen by a certain time traveler...

(Their meeting being a paradox of Soos' family leading him to them is super sweet too!)

Playing one game of catch with their dads still was a dream for both of them, even when it was clear that it'll never happen, even when Soos knows that the Pines are his family and he shouldn't care about that biological deadbeat, even when Filbrick threw Stan away like trash.

But both of them end up finding closure with each other anyway.

Along with Stan likely teaching him how to fix golf carts (to the point that Soos is pretty skilled at it now), he also taught him boxing and tried to do something about his birthday, which is another sore spot for the both of them.

In the Sooscast, we have Stan continuing with the podcast despite learning this horrifying truth/not understanding what the hell is going on.

Noticeably, we see that Stan is a lot more lenient on Soos in comparison to Dipper, mostly because Stan doesn't project most of his issues onto him. (Not that he's immune from chores or shitty tasks but that's the burden of being a sonployee...)

And in NWHS, Stan trusts him to guard the lab with no questions asked (even if that ended up being foiled by Soos loving Mabel and Dipper too)

The comic story is Soos helping Stan regain and continue one of his childhood dreams, with the website having Stan continuing to draw on the Stan o' War.

And while unfortunately most of their father-son relationship content is at the end or after the series, Alex still said a lot about them in the commentary and interviews!

Before they met, Soos was someone who appeared to only really have his Abuelita and cousin, while Stan had.... a baby goat. And a disappearing frilly lizard.

We have Stan claiming that the reason why he never had children was because of his own dad and that money is basically his child (which just loops around back to his money obsession being his desire to get back his family)

But even still, he passes down the Shack and fez to Soos with barely any pause, the fez in particular being tied up with a lot of complex emotions. But Soos getting his own suit fitted just for him and not being pressured to wear a girdle to hide his weight kinda symbolizes to me that the role of Mr Mystery is now free from that baggage.

And whenever we'd end up getting Stan o' War stories, I'm sure the two of them are gonna get way more father-son moments

I need Stan and Ford to see their mom again

Like let's say she's still alive and in her 80s, she's in a wheelchair (ambulatory, she has customized canes) she still lives in their old home because a part of her hoped Stanford would come back, and she didn't want to leave their home, so he'd know where to go back to.

She wanted to stay put in case Ford came back.

So imagine her shock when both her boys come back home to her

Obviously Stan immediately starts apologizing for faking his death, putting her through grief, her arranging and attending his funeral, but she stops him like "I'd much rather it be fake than real." That's her baby boy, back from the dead, something most people don't get, so to her it's a miracle.

Her Jersey accent is thick, and it actually brings out the twins' accents that had faded over time (Stan's sounds natural to him since he always retained it a little, but everyone finds it funny when Ford's accent comes back because he just doesn't seem like the type to speak like that)

THEY MOVE HER INTO THE SHACK

The boys wanna take care of their mama and keep her around since it's been so long, and Caryn is delighted to be moved out of a loud city with rough memories and into a quiet little town where the people are odd but nice. Ford and Stan both work together to make the Shack accessible for her. Ford actually sat in her wheelchair to test everything and make sure she could get around on her own.

They catch her up on everything, and at first they don't think she'll fully believe them but she's like "Stanford built an international portal and got lost for 30 years? Stanley took his place and turned his home into tourist trap? Yeah, that seems like something my boys would do."

When she learns Stan taught himself engineering to re-build the portal, she's obviously very proud of him. "You were never dumb, Stanley, ya just learned different. Honestly, I always thought ya had A-D-H-D but Pa never wanted ya tested. But look how smart and creative ya turned out, son! I think ya did good." And Stan is definitely not crying.

Personal headcanon: Caryn was also really smart and picked up on things quick. The boys had to have gotten it from somewhere, and it wasn't Filbrick. He just took the credit because 1) he was the worst, and 2) times were different back then and no one would have really taken her seriously. But she's the one who would fix things around the house since she taught herself how to keep the place together and running since Filbrick wouldn't pay anyone to come and repair anything.

Imagine little Stan standing behind her with a flashlight while she fixes the wiring in the wall because an outlet stopped working. Both of the boys helping her while she fixes the car for the third time that week because it keeps breaking down. Mama Pines taught herself how to keep things up and running because no one else would or could.

Caryn meets Mabel and Dipper when they come back in the summer, and Mabel is THRILLED

She's technically met them before but they were still newborns at the time so they don't remember her, and she hadn't gotten a chance to see who they'd become

Mabel makes her a sweater and she wears it with pride. And I really think it would go like that scene from Elemental

Caryn: You made this?

Mabel: Oh, yeah, it's nothing-

Caryn: Nothin? Babygirl, my designer dresses were made by 'nothin.' Oh sweetie, you have got to do somethin' with this skill. And to think, I have an original 'Mabel Pines.'

And don't think I'm leaving Dipper out of this, he gets his great-grandma's attention too. She loves talking to him and listening to him tell stories about the monsters they've encountered in the past. She sees a lot of Ford in him, but she also sees a lot of Stan in him in other ways.

I think Dipper's love for "girly" music is something Stan used to share before Filbrick "disciplined" him for it. Child Stan used to sit in the kitchen with his Ma and sing along to the radio, usually listening to whatever she had put on.

Now all three of them sit in the kitchen and listen to the radio while Stan cooks.

Ford feeling like a failure for putting everyone in danger, and Caryn just goes, "Come talk to your mama." And he does. He goes and talks to his mama, like he always has in the past. She's in her 80s and they're grown men in their late 50s, but she's still their mom, and you never really quit being a mom.

I might actually write a short fic about this, I love it so much.

I would be absolutely obssessed with seeing art, fic, or headcanons by you about The Reader. I don't know if that's in your wheelhouse but it sounds FUN

Anonymous asked: (The Reader of TBoB)

Now, there's an interesting thought exercise.

We're starting with the assumption that The Reader of TBOB is an independent unseen & unnamed character, not just you-the-reader. We're assuming this because (like I mentioned in the post that originally preceded this ask when I received it two months ago) The Reader does several specific things and has several specific actions that might not generalize to every reader.

In fact, I'll go a step farther: we know that TBOB is supposed to be able to update live as the reader reads it (for example: Bill interrupting the page on his weaknesses to Gatsby us; Bill asking for blood and reacting to receiving blood all on the same page, implying that his reaction must have only appeared on the page after getting blood). And so, I headcanon that the book we read is how TBOB looks after The Reader is done with it—after the Theraprism staff has inserted their note and confiscated the book from Bill, thus preventing him from making any more updates to it, permanently fixing it in the form it was last in when Bill had his hands on it. We're not reading Bill talking to "us"—we're reading his half of a conversation he was having with someone who held the book before "us."

So what do we know about this hypothetical reader?

- They know about the main characters of Gravity Falls. Bill doesn't have to explain who Ford, Stan, Dipper, Mabel etc are. He just dives into talking about them like he assumes the reader knows exactly who they are and he's confident that learning their dirty laundry will be appealing. On the other hand, he DOES stop to tell them about who other people are: the Henchmaniacs, Time Baby, the Shaman, the Anti-Cipherites; so he doesn't just take it for granted that they'll know anyone he's talking about. He has some reason to think they know about the residents of Gravity Falls, specifically. (This is noteworthy if we're assuming the reader ISN'T from our world and thus DIDN'T watch the cartoon.)

- They haven't met Bill before—he says at the start of the book that this is their first meeting. But, they do know who Bill is in general—also at the start of the book, he says he's sure the reader is thinking about how he's all-powerful, allegedly dead, and also imaginary. A reader unfamiliar with Bill could've gotten "allegedly dead" from Ford's note, but not the rest.

- They're either from a reality where Bill is imaginary—such as the Real World™—or from a reality where Bill is believed to be imaginary—such as, say, the regular canon Gravity Falls world. The reader could be somebody who read some old Ciphertology pamphlets and went "what a goofy made-up god," got their hands on an old Elias Inkwell Cipher Symphonies cartoon, heard about the medieval English "bastard triangle" superstitions, knows about the "summon a cryptid triangle with spaghetti" urban legend... etc. There's lots of ways a reader could believe Bill to be "imaginary" while not being from our real world.

- In spite of knowing who the Pines family is, reading Ford's warning about the book, and soon seeing that Bill's clearly real, they're willing to, in rapid succession: 1. become the book's new master and summon Bill (at this point they MIGHT still believe the book's a hoax), 2. agree to take Bill's deal, a favor in exchange for knowledge & secrets (at this point the book's animating itself in their hands so they know this is The Real Bill), and 3. give the book their blood. From that point onward, Bill starts rearranging the reader's brain, so we can't assume that their actions are exactly the same as they would have been at the start of the book—but up to that point, their actions are all their own, and they're game to make a deal with Bill and give him their blood.

- At the end of the book, when The Reader's mildly delirious from blood loss and Bill has removed their shame, fear, hesitance, and kicked up their impulsivity—even then, reading the letters from the Pines family is enough to convince them not to follow through with helping Bill take over the world. So when they're as clear-headed as possible they'd knowingly make a deal with Bill, but also when they're at their most emotionally compromised the Pines' words can still talk them down from attempting Weirdmageddon.

- We can pick up a few personal details on them from what Bill says about them (they crave love, sugar, and salt; they want to know about Bill's weaknesses; they're VERY convinced that Bill must be lying about never being in love; they've had at least one perverted thought in their life; etc), but since the authorial intent is that the things Bill says about The Reader can apply to as many IRL readers as possible, these are still deliberately pretty broad & generic even if they can't apply to 100% of readers.

- Because the questions about Bill's love life are framed like things the reader is saying and Bill is clearly frustrated with these questions, I think it'd be reasonable to theorize that some of the other headings in the book that are framed like rhetorical questions are actually being asked by The Reader. (ex: "Bill, if you died, then where are you now?" "How does it feel to be half alive?") So from our perspective Bill's the only one steering this ship and just assuming what we-the-readers want to know about, but in The True Reader's hands, they may have played a significant part in choosing the topics and flat out asked Bill about things they wanted to know about.

- They seem to be familiar enough with Ford's journals that Bill thinks offering them a handful of lost pages will be the just the thing to fully win them over (or else keep them distracted enough for Bill to finish rewiring their brain lol)...

and this is where I think we can make a good guess about where The Reader comes from.

When Journal 3 was about to come out, OregonParksDept on twitter popped up to roleplay as a park ranger named Gus who finds Journal 3 in the dirt, asks if anyone knows whose it is, says he's gonna ask some other rangers to look at it, and then locks it up stating that everyone who read the book either got headaches or nightmares. J3 is later sold to the public at a bake sale. Since at the end of Journal 3, Ford says he's tossing his journals into the Bottomless Pit, we can assume J3 must have landed in Gus's dimension.

And then, when TBOB's going to come out, Gus discovers it (probably fell through the same rift as J3), tries to burn it up, and then mysteriously disappears; some other ranger uses the Oregon Parks Dept twitter to ask the public for info on his disappearance, and Bill's hotline and TINAWD suggest Bill set Gus on fire.

But, the twitter account still has Gus's earlier liveblog of trying to destroy the book. Meaning whatever ranger updated it next must have seen Gus's saga. They know about TBOB's existence and that it was related to Gus's disappearance; and, as we know thanks to both Gus and Ford, if you destroy or discard TBOB it'll just come right back to you.

So here's my theory:

The Reader is a ranger at the same station as Gus. (Or someone close to the rangers—a volunteer, a spouse, a kid—someone who's in and out of the ranger stations all the time, at any rate. Someone in a position to reach TBOB.) They read J3, which is why they knew about Gravity Falls and the broad strokes of Bill's plot and knew enough about the Pines family to be interested in their lives, and particularly knew enough to be interested in missing journal pages; and why they didn't know about characters like the Henchmaniacs or Anti-Cipherites, which is why Bill had to explain about them.

When Gus opens TBOB properly for the first time, Bill writes a personal letter to him; when The Reader opens it, Bill's letter shows he knows some things about them—but things only related to what they'd currently be thinking about ("Wow it's bill! Is he real? Shouldn't he be dead?"), not biographical details like with Gus. There's an obvious Doylist reason for that, but my Watsonian explanation is that Bill got a chance to spy on Gus, likely through J3, but didn't get that opportunity with The Reader so he's having to skim their surface-level thoughts and do a cold read on them. Maybe The Reader read J3 way later than the other rangers.

It's possible The Reader bought J3 at the Oregon Parks Dept sale and read it, then became a ranger because they read it and wanted to be somewhere they could find out more.

Since Gus seems totally baffled by TBOB and doesn't connect it with J3, Gus probably didn't read J3 very closely; most of the other rangers probably didn't either; so The Reader is likely the only one who powered through the headaches and/or nightmares to read the whole thing and learn its secrets. So whoever they are, they're cut from the same cloth as Ford & Dipper (which lines up with the fact that Bill doesn't try to tempt them into a deal with money, love, fame, power, etc., but rather with knowledge and secrets).

Thus, when TBOB inevitably teleports back into the ranger station, The Reader is the only one at the ranger station who knows what they're looking at. They recognize the logo of the triangle with a top hat; they know who Bill is; they recognize the handwriting in the letter at the front warning readers away from the book. Journal 3 is a diary describing things that never happened in a town that doesn't exist, when The Reader read it they probably told themself it had to be fake... right? right??

And that's why, when they open TBOB, they're sure Bill must be imaginary—but very ready to be persuaded that he's real.

Of course, the book had to be blank when they opened it. They probably made a deal with the book (and even offered it their blood) telling themself they were just doing this to try to find out what happened to Gus, that would sure be a good excuse to justify making contact with a megalomaniacal god... but, once Bill starts talking to them, he doesn't mention Gus once. So it seems The Reader was pretty quick to push their dead coworker out of their mind in favor of pumping Bill Cipher for the secrets of the universe.

And that, I think, is the measure by which we should judge the Reader's character: they're basically Ford if Ford was actually a callous, heartless prick. They also summoned up Bill for knowledge and wisdom, but they already knew he's tried to conquer the universe, they knew he's killed people—including someone they know and work with—and it's not on their mind at all as they interact with him. All they're interested in is Bill, what he knows, and where Journal 3 is from. Is it any wonder Bill's so quick to conclude they're the perfect new minion?

And yet, they're not so far gone that they can't be talked down by the Pines family's letters. Which is unexpected, given what we do know about The Reader.

Maybe they're cold and callous and disconnected from their fellow man, but subconsciously crave the kind of family bonds the Pines family has and realize that that's what they really longed for in J3, not the mysteries and secrets. (Bill does say they crave love more than anything else.) Maybe they had a budding parasocial obsession with Bill, and reading the lost journal pages and seeing how devastated Bill was to lose Ford broke through their fantasies and made them realize they're never gonna be Bill's special little human the way Ford was—just in time to hit the letters where Ford talks about what a loser Bill really is and how much happier he is to be rid of him. Maybe it was just Stan pointing out "if Bill's afterlife is so great, why won't he admit where he is?" that gave them second thoughts.

So they may be a callous, heartless prick, but they're not totally gone. There's a bit of humanity in them yet.

What they do with TBOB after that, we don't know, because that's the point at which the Theraprism catches Bill and he loses the ability to update the book, thus locking it into the form in which we read it.

- One bonus point: in the deluxe version of the book, Bill directs a specific note to "Chris" who thinks they live in Minnesota and who's been in a coma for 12 years—which is weird, if we're going by the theory that Bill's personalizing the entire book to speak to one specific person. So my headcanon is The Reader is named Chris (or "Chris" is short for their full name, at least—Christine, Christopher, Antichrist, whatever), they grew up in Minnesota, they have nightmares about being stuck back home where they grew up, and they read a good portion of TBOB in a sleep-deprived blood-loss-induced delirium and keep ducking into a half-dream where they're having the "I'm back in Minnesota" nightmare, and Bill's gotta snap them out of it and get them to focus on his book again. (Minnesota is real and they haven't been in a coma for 12 years, that was Bill indulging in a little recreational gaslighting.)

Stanley Pines x Reader Your husband Stanley sacrifices himself to save everyone from Weirdmageddon, but loses his memory during the process. You try to get him to remember you, but it doesn’t end the way you want it to. Word Count: 1457 || AO3 ⋆.˚✮🎧✮˚.⋆

Here you all stand, in the heavy wooded patch the Mystery Shack was located. The place you called home was now destroyed, bits of debris scattered around you all.

 It was a long, gruesome battle, but you and the townspeople came together and overcame Bill and his plan to take over the world.

 But it came with a price.

 Stan, the once berated and shunned man, switched places with Ford. He gave himself away to save everyone and everything he loved. You begged him not to, that you all could figure something else out. But the back of your mind knew there was no other way.

 And when you saw the memory gun aimed at him, you had to look away.

 When you looked back, he was gone.

 His eyes were so empty when he finally came to.

 He looked around, still on his knees. It was like he never saw this place before. You’ve only seen him this confused once before, and that’s when you said you wanted to be with him more than anything. He never thought he’d ever have someone like you, so hearing this initially stunted him.

 But now, he’ll never remember that. He no longer shares the same memories you do.

 He wasn’t the man you came to know.

“Wha- Where am I?”

 Your hands trembled as they made their way to cover your mouth. Your heart sank, and your whole body became lead. You were a statue, watching his face contort when he stares at these strangers in front of him.

“Who are you all?!” He falls back and scoots away from the group.

 You wanted to be the first to help him, but your feet couldn’t move.

 The twins eased their way to him to not scare him any more than he is now.

“Grunkle Stan…”  Mabel’s little voice cracked.

“You don’t remember us?” Dipper placed a hand on his arm.

 Stan shook his head. What are these kids talking about? What is a “Grunkle?”

 Mable couldn’t take it anymore, and broke down. 

 You were about to do the same. 

 Dipper crawled to her and hugged her tightly, allowing himself to let a few tears slip but keeping his face covered with the brim of his hat.

 Stan’s eyes darted from the kids to you and the person next to you that looked just like him.

 Soon, his gaze focused on you. His eyes grew wider and they shimmered like they did all those years ago when you first started talking to each other.

 He whistles, catcalling you like used to when he would walk in on you changing or making dinner.

“Hey there, sugar. Who’s your friend?”

 Normally, you’d laugh or scoff at his flirty antics, but this time, it brought tears to your eyes. He wasn’t pretending or messing around. This was his reality now. He really was meeting you for the first time.

 You look at Ford. Nothing was said, but it was clear that it was your turn to talk to him.

 You turn back. You wipe the tears out the corners of your eyes. You mentally prepare yourself, huffing to yourself and swallowing thickly. Once you thought you were okay, you slowly made your approach, one foot dragging in front of the other.

 The closer you got, the more he looked pleased.

 You hoped and prayed with each step you took that you’d jog something. Anything.

 You sat in front of him with your knees tucked under you. You swear your heart is going to explode out of your chest.

 He smiles. That goofy grin also used to make you laugh.

 You take a deep breath and anxiously release it.

 He has to remember you.

“Stanley, baby,” you begin.

“Do you know where you are right now?”

“No, but it’s a lot better with you here.” He clicks his tongue and lifts his eyebrows. If this was some sort of sick joke, you’ll slap that nasty smirk clean off his face and go for Ford after.

Your eyes start to pool again.

 Please, let this be a joke.

“Stan, please,” you mutter.

 You’re at a loss at what to do. You don’t want to believe it, but maybe he’s too far gone. Your denial just has to save him. You were his salvation at one point, how could he not remember you?

 You’ve loved him ever since high school when everyone saw him as a lowlife. It didn’t help that your locker was a couple doors down from his.

 He was your lab partner in chemistry. 

 It’s amazing how a lab partner turned into a life partner.

Wait…

 Your marriage! Of course! You are married to him!

 A spark of hope electrocuted through you.

“Stan, look.” You jump into action, grasping his hand with the gold band on his ring finger.

“We’re married! See?” You bring your hand up next to his. Your ring band is thinner than his, with diamonds lining the middle of it.

 Staring at it and seeing how the light catches it makes you think back to that day.

 It was a courthouse wedding. No one else showed up, but you both knew it had to be that way. You didn’t mind at all. When the deed was done and you two were official, he apologized and promised that when the right time comes he’d give you the best wedding you could ever dream of.

 But being with him was already a dream come true.

 A half smile appeared on your face. You didn’t need a wedding to solidify your love for him. You didn’t need the “official” and legal marriage. But he was old fashioned and wanted to do things right by you.

 Too bad he can’t even figure out your name.

“Woah. Today just keeps gettin’ better and better!” He looks from the rings to you.

 Your chest expanded. Could it be? Could he be coming back?

“…Who are you again?”

 These words were the dagger that stabbed and shattered your heart. You physically could no longer hold yourself together.

 You whisper his name one more time. This can’t be how this ends. He’s just messing around with you. There’s no way he doesn’t remember you. You were sure of it. You thought this would work. You knew this had to work. You can’t let go of him. You won’t let go of him. You-

 Your quivering body launches, enveloping him in an embrace that he’ll never feel again.

 You weep.

 Your lover is gone and there’s nothing you can do about it.

“…I love you so much, Stanley Pines,” you can barely make out. Your throat is closing in on itself and your face feels hot.

“What is going on? Was it something I said?” This causes you to hold him closer.

 Eventually, Ford is the one to drag you away. You put up a fight, stringing together a bunch of “no”s before wailing his name at the top of your lungs. You needed to believe that if you held him longer that he’d magically turn back. Ultimately, that wasn’t the case. What’s done is done.

 You scream and cry and beg whatever being was out there to answer your prayers.

 Ford crouches down to your curled up frame and does his best to console you. You’re on your hands and knees, nails digging into the earth as you heave. He throws his arms around you and mumbles apologies you didn’t think you’d hear in the first place.

 “I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I’m sorry,” fills your ears.

 You feel him around you, breathing catching in his throat and fingers twitching. He’s going into hysterics along with you.

 He lost his brother too, after all.

 The fact that he’s still wearing Stan’s suit…

 You clench his sleeve and pull yourself up, now grabbing the lapels and sobbing in his shoulder. It still smells like him.

 You feel the wetness of Ford’s tears on the side of your face. He palms the back of your head. He rocks you to try and soothe you, resisting the urge to burst for your sake.

“He’s a hero,” he rasps.

 The four of you continued to mourn. Stan is left dumbfounded at the sight of everyone grieving. He thinks he should do something, but he can’t piece together what. He doesn’t want to get involved and accidentally interrupt you all.

 For the rest of the town, it was a day of celebration. For the Pines family, it was a day of loss.

 It was two sides of the same coin, both sides being free from Bill’s reign.

You don’t know what happens next. You just hope you and the rest can work together and one day bring your dearest Stanley’s memories back.

Please tell me more about your au where the twins are billford kids please please please

Hey there haven't been able to stop thinking about AU so here more additional thoughts

Mable and Dipper not knowing about their deal power until later, like Mabel accidentally making deal with Pacifica/challenging her and suddenly her hand is on fire '...that's not good' twins frantically trying to fix everything and now they have a no deals rule.

Well after some experimentation the twins wanted to know what would happen if they tried to make deals with each other... both hands catch on fire and well... Grunkle Stan watching TV and then turning head to see his niece and nephew turned in ash ans still slightly smoldering.

Others slowly finding out about their demon forms, Candy and Grenda they love Mabel's demon form and think it's so cool... they also help her experiment with powers... it usually ends in chaos.

Wendy finding out, realizing these 2 kids have had to live copped up indoors and not do anything like go to school and have friends and is instantly like 'I am going to make sure you 2 have so much fun, you are going to have coolest summer ever!'

Pacifica also finds out, because of demon deal but pretends she doesn't. It's only later she reveals.

Mabel: YOU KNEW IT WAS ME?

Pacifica: YOU WERE STILL WEARING A GIANT SWEATER OF COURSE I KNEW IT WAS YOU!

All the life threatening events are far more less threatening it's less my life is in danger more like I need to blow I'm not human/ I can't let my powers go crazy cause otherwise things are gonna get weird and maybe worse.

Whenever Stan hears the kids voices he automatically looks up he's really used to then kids floating.

Bill finding out he's parent freaking out and the Henchmanics are torn between 'WE'RE HONORARY AUNTS/UNCLES' and... welp fuck probably not gonna be able to make while worlds a party since Bill is already asking about how to baby proof the mindscape.

When Ford comes back it's him that faints this time... everyone else has known about him for ages.

Mable and Dipper have seen journal 1 and then journal 3 after Dipper finds it (Stan is not surprised, kid is so much like Ford of course he's find where the nerd hid it... now they only need the 2nd journal) Mabel's seen the writing about don't trust him about Bill and seeing journal 2 she puts together her parents aren't.... on the best terms. She still is on the matchmaking thing cause she has an ideal dream of 2 happy parents along with her twin, grunkle stan and big brother Soos.

Fiddleford even when meeting twins for first time in human form is terrified of them. He is scared every time and he doesn't know why just instinctual fear.

[citricacidprince]

I don't know if anyone already asked this question, but I need to get it out of my brain.

What do you imagine a meeting between the Stan twins from your version of Relativity Falls and the original Stan twins would be like? (before or after the Weirdmageddon, although I'm more curious about the after lol)

Oooough the idea of the Relativity Baby Stans meeting the OG Old Men Stans makes me wanna combussssst!!!

The possibilities!!! 💥💥💥

(I’ll be using full names for the OG twins (Stanley & Stanford) and nicknames for the Relativity twins (Lee & Ford) for the sake of consistency lmao)

If it’s pre-Weirdmageddon for both the OG show and Relatively falls I can imagine the Stan’s are having a great time while the Ford’s are also having a kinda fun time but it’s a little…

You see, if you thought Stanford was projecting with Dipper when he was trying to get him to stay in Gravity Falls, you can only IMAGINE how bad it’s gonna get when he meets Ford. Stanford would unintentionally make the Relativity twin’s bond even more strained because he would confirm everything Ford has been told by his teachers and his father, that he needs to be his own person and Lee is holding him back. On the cuter side I like to think Stanley would give Lee a sweet pep talk about not letting anyone push him around or let him feel belittled, then he’d teach Lee how to throw a mean left hook! Who says you can’t be your own father figure, hmm?

If it’s post-Weirdmageddon for the OG show but not Relativity Falls, the Stan boys, again, are having a great time, even more-so now that Stanley has this cool Sailor aesthetic going on for him! This time Stanford would very gently tell Ford that he shouldn’t listen to what anyone else says, especially their father. They don’t have anything to prove to anyone. And I think Ford would actually listen if it was Stanford telling him this. After all, who knows you better than yourself?

If it’s post-Weirdmageddon for Relativity Falls and not the OG show, good fucking luck separating the Relativity twins! They are attached at the hip and if Stanford ever tried to gently ease them apart Ford just might bite his arm! The entire thing is an extremely sore subject and even though Lee and Stanley are used to mean spirited jabs and back handed compliments, if Stanford even as so grumbles something slightly mean about Stanley or Lee under his breath Ford will not hesitate to explode on him. Lee always has to tell Ford that it’s alright while Stanley can’t help but find their attachment to each other sweet and nostalgic, something he really misses. Stanford can’t understand why Ford seems to be so protective over Lee, 10 times more than he was as a child, and the two refuse to talk about it. (Don’t worry Stanford, you’ll find out soon enough :] )

If it’s post-Weirdmageddon for both the OG show and Relativity Falls, then oooooh boy I wanna combust on the spot!!!!

I can so vividly see the older men lighting up at the younger versions of them, nostalgia and ‘Oh man were we really that small?’ running through both their minds as they happily chat with the cute little goobers. Then I can see the horror on Stanley and Stanford’s faces when they realize these two kids had to go through the same twin swap and subsequent mind wipe they had to go through. They’re just little kids, just a little older than Mabel and Dipper, they didn’t deserve that.

When Ford’s hands shake and he can’t stop tears from falling down his round cheeks when he gets flashes to himself holding the memory gun to his brother’s head, Stanley’s the one to gently cover the kid’s polydactyl hands with his own and grumble soft comforting words until the kid is about to fall asleep from how hard he was crying.

When Lee has a huge lapse in memory and takes a while to remember once again, Stanford holds Lee close to his chest and isn’t able to stop silent tears from falling down his face. The silent tears only get worse when Lee, despite not even able to remember who Stanford is at the moment, tries to comfort and wipe away the older man’s tears.

These boys make me soooo ill I wanna combust :]

I have a small draft of an Gravity Falls/The Owl House au where Eda and Stan bond while trying to find a way to divorce without making the autorities aware of their location and decide to became a two people (later three for Raine reasons)/two realms rock band.

Featuring:

- Stan being way too unafected by the weirdness of the Demon Realm.

- Raine Whispers failing their task of remaining only friends with their ex after joining her band and instead getting back together (she opens up about her curse and now they just can't find a reason not to). [Look Raine fully got involved because a) Raeda is my OTP and more importantly b) Stan is just a really good wingman]

- Fiddleford complicated journey where he abandons his wife (and lowkey his son) for a scientist; does not tell the people involved (including the scientist); gets friendzone because of a triangle; gets a crush on a rockstar; does not question the fact the rockstar looks like mullet Ford sans glasses until he introduces his favorite band to his partner/bff/guy who chose a triangle over him; discovers Pines Twin drama

- Stan tries to sing a "hey we could be best brothers again it was an accident and I'm sorry" ballad but Ford is too distracted by the fact Stan bandmates are witches.

- Ford in the Demon Realm. Ford in the Demon Realm. Ford is living his autistc dreams in the Demon Realm. Ford has glyths now look out. Ford in the Demon Realm.

- Bill in the Demon Realm. He is pissing off a bigot and being a bad influence to an infant god. Do I hear a hurray?

- Please please please see my vision of Bill babysitting Enzo Gabriel... I mean The Collector.

- Baby King enters the picture at some point.

- Hooty meeting Bill. (Also at some point Hooty HAS to met Soos, I can not explain why this is important to me but it is).

- Sibbling drama featuring Lilith and Eda and Stan and Ford.

- Raeda wingmans Fiddlestan.

- The Collector accidentaly wingmans Billford somehow.

- At some point in history the band devolves from a hit band to a footnote on the history of indie rock 80's bands (basically they just hit BIG in the Demon Realm and end up negleting the human realm) and everyone forgets it until the day ten year old Luz Noceda creates her first AMV using one of their songs and decides that's her favorite band ever.

- Dipper is also a fan. Mabel isn't exactaly a fan as much as she love like one specific song and also thinks 90's Raine is cute.

It's another reverse portal AU based on @sharksfrommars version of this AU

I still interpret this as trans Stan but since the twins are already born it does not matter who actually gave birth to them he's just biologically their dad, the twins were 12 when stand went through the portal, he was kicked out for the project but him being trans/ pregnant/trans and pregnant/knocking up a girl, does factor into why he got kicked out.

The twins stay upstairs for most of the fight, but because they are too curious for their own good, they eventually wander down to the basement just in time to see Stan get pushed into the portal.

Then, most of the events in sharksfrommars AU happens in this one, Ford gets arrested for Stans disappearance, Billford confesses to the courts that Ford ate his brother.

But because the twins actually saw what happened, they're testifying that no their dad was not eaten their Uncle pushed him in this big swooley thing, but because they'r 12 traumatized and also cannibalism makes more sense than men disappearing out of the blue social Services thinks that they made up the portal thing to cope with the fact that they saw Ford eat their dad.

Both of them deeply deny it to the point where Dipper is actually looking up cannibalism and how long it would take for someone to eat someone of their dad's size, just to prove that Ford couldn't do it, not because he likes or even trust ford in fact he thinks ford push their dad on purpose he just wants the court to get the facts right.

Dipper does eventually start to believe that the portal thing was just his brain coping with what actually happened to his dad; he still does not believe Ford ate him, but now he's willing to accept that maybe he just saw his dad die.

Mabel never stops believing in the portal possibility, and because of that, she actually gets really close to Ford, especially since Shermie takes them in after Stand's disappearance and later starts to take care of Ford

Especially when she moved to Gravity Falls with her now wife, Pacifica(yes, I ship Mabel and Pacifica), whom she met in college. Pacifica actually got kicked out for being gay, but her parents never wrote them out of their will, so after they died, she got the mansion

At 42, she starts helping her uncle rebuild the portal to get her dad back behind her other uncle and twin brother's back, especially since she and Dipper did drift apart after Dipper started to believe that they watched Ford kill their dad and the portal thing was just them trying to cope Through the fact that they watched it happen, even though Mabel knows that they both remember it happening the exact same way.

It was a very tearfall reunion especially since Stan miss 30 years of his baby's lives but he's very happy to have them back and to meet his lovely daughter's wife

Also in this AU Dipper is his actual legal name(unless Stan did not git them birth certificates which i could totally see Stan doing) because as soon it stands sees Dippers birthmark that's what he's going to name his kid

Mason is the name social Services gave him/changed his name to though he never went by it and legally changed his name to/back to dipper as soon as he turned 18 because that's what his dad named him he's going to go by his dad's name not whatever fucking name social services gave him to 'fit in'

[thicctails]

i recently saw your GBC AU and I can say that I am now one of the many people who has fallen in love with it. I am also a little more curious about the AU. For example, I noticed how Bill interacts with the Pines and his parents. How did it come to the point that Bill is now just living with the Pines family? Does he even live with them? What was it like for everyone involved?

I feel like Scalene and Euclid would want to reach out to their son but for multiple reasons. For one, maybe convince him to get help (It's a given fact that Bill Cipher needs therapy) or maybe not kill anyone. Depending on how much they investigate the matter based on Bill’s and Ford’s toxic relationship (Speaking of which, how does Ford react when his “Muse” starts living with them?) do they ask themselves what else Bill has done? The yellow Dorito has a LONG criminal history with not many redeeming qualities (other than being a feminist).

Of course, Id also see them wanting to reconnect with their baby boy and apologize for everything they have done to him in the past. But again, trillions of years have passed and their Little Billy ain't so little anymore, and has developed a dark, if not sadistic sense of humor. While his parents may be what breaks the camel back and slightly motivate Bill to change his ways, undoing the unhealthy mindset that is severely rooted into him will take more than a little lullaby to fix.

Every day the Primary Colours trauma triangle cult grows >:)

To answer your question, Bill doesn't end up with the Pines and his parents in their reality until Weirdmaggedon, which is caused by an alternate version of himself tearing open the weakened wall between the Nightmare Realm and Reality. Before then, he mostly uses dreams and very weak vessels to interact with them, such as the various plushes Mabel makes for him.

After Weirdmageddon, Bill is severely weakened and fairly injured (think half-blind and pretty scarred up), but he and his folks can exist in the 3D and 2D planes. (though Bill usually avoids going 2D if he can) After the human Pines parents lose custody (Soos and Melody adopt Dipper and Mabel officially, since Stan is a criminal and Ford... well, Stan used his identity lol) the Ciphers mostly watch over the kids and the Shack while Ford and Stan are out at sea. When the Stan twins are around, Bill usually makes himself scarce.

Dipper and Mabel are probably the ones that are the most comfortable with Bill. They don't have any real traumatic memories with him in this AU, so they're just happy to finally get to meet and hang out with their older brother, strange as he is. Bill encourages them to get into mischief and often pulls pranks, but he never actively puts them in danger. He's actually really possessive/protective over the twins once it sinks in that they aren't just squishy little humans his parents love, they're his baby siblings.

(Ford mentions that Dipper might need to see an optometrist within earshot of Bill and he injures himself summoning fire to guard Dipper from him. Bill has nothing but hellish memories of his experience with an optometrist and will not allow Sixer to take Pinetree to be blinded like he was. It takes a long time to calm him down and convince him that Dipper isn't going to be harmed.)

In the months before Weirdmaggedon, things between Bill and everyone who isn't the twins is... awkward and tense, to say the least. Scalene and Euclid are, obviously, thrilled that their oldest isn't just a long-gone smear of burning flesh and dust, but it's also very mentally taxing and difficult to interact with him. As i said in a previous post, they often accidentally set off the others' triggers, and Bill being, well, Bill, means that they also have to come to terms with the fact that, while they will always love their son, he's not the velcro-shoe wearing, bubbly little stargazer they once knew.

Ford, understandably, does not take Bill popping up in his house very well, and is even more upset by the fact that he's getting near Dipper and Mabel. It's only Stan's insistence that he's actually helped the kids freely before that keeps Ford from forcing everyone into Mandatory Family Thought Encryption. He never forgets what Bill did to him, nor does he ever forgive him, but he doesn't murder him in his sleep when he's vulnerable after making a deal with the Axolotl at the end of Weirdmageddon, so there's that. Plus, it is reassuring to know that the once all-powerful King of the Nightmare Realm folds like wet laundry under the Power of Mabel. The creature that once haunted his nightmares looks a little less scary when a 13 year old girl has painted his nails a glittery pink and made him have a disco tea party with her pet pig.

As for him getting help? Well, that's actually part of the deal he makes with the Axolotl! Weirdmageddon almost kills him (turns out fighting yourself while actually caring about not hurting people leaves you somewhat vulnerable!), but the Axolotl agrees to save him, if he agrees to monthly therapy sessions with him, as well as him and his parents having a regular life span. Total reformation really isn't going to be possible, not for Bill, but when Dipper and Mabel have passed on, he and his folks will go too, and if Bill has made progress towards being a better person, then they'll be reincarnated together.

It's hard and it SUCKS, but its better than Canon Bill is doing lol.

[boomerdangs]

If this was with the canon TADC cast, how would everyone get along

BTW LOVE YOUR AU KEEP IT UP

Firstly!! Thank you I appreciate it ☹️❤️ missing this au so dearly but can’t sketch anything for u atm [I WANTED TO SO BAD FOR THIS ASK, MAYBE LATER?]

But hmm— this is a lil difficult to answer but if the original cast WERE in my au, my initial thoughts are:

• Mabel would be friends w/ Rag but I imagine Rag would tend to really baby her or simplify things as if Mabel wouldn’t understand them. She’s better friends w/ Gangle, they’d doodle together and make some up a silly comic idea together to keep themselves occupied. One day they’ll present the comic to the circus like a pitch and Mabel would dress them both up lil business women in oversized suits. She’d give Kinger and Caine makeovers. I think she’d try and help zooble feel comfortable.

• Dipper would keep to myself in my mind, I’ve thought about him maybe thinking Jax is cool similar to how he’d find Wendy cool, but since Jax so much more cruel with pranks where someone’s always the butt of the joke— he’s lose interest pretty quick on being friends. He’d spend more time wandering the walls tryna spot some way to leave but otherwise he sticks to Mabel to keep his sanity up and of course Ford. He’s pretty intrigued meeting his unknown uncle. I imagine he likes Pomni a lot though, despite pomni being overly anxious like him— i think it’d make him feel better to know someone is as open about their fears of never escaping. He’s rocking with Zooble, dysphoria buddies for sure [me asf]. He likes Ragatha, she’s nice to him

• Ford probably sticks to taking care of Mcgucket and only discusses with everyone unless it benefits his by now endless goal of figuring out an escape. If it weren’t for his family showing up when they did, I imagine he would’ve been on the brink of losing his mind. In my mind, he could dislike Kinger only bc his incoherent behavior would frustrate him, but he’d become apart of the ppl he tries his best to check in on despite how much he could get frustrated at. He just feels guilty being with everyone or too many people, so anyone outside Stanley and Fidds doesn’t really know him— the kids try to anyway despite how survival mode he’s in. If he did have to like anyone— he enjoys Ragatha’s determination to be optimistic, he likes Pomni cause of her blunt remarks and determination despite being fearful, zooble and gangle because they’re sooo much more quiet than the others [I’d be so over drummed in the circus so he gets to be too cuz I put my autism beam on him]

• Gucket and Kinger would be friends idc, I feel like when they’re more lucid they have really great talks. Gucket also probs like Ragatha, i feel like she reminds him of Emma-May for some reason.

• I feel like Stan would be the first to read Jax to filth, if that guy even messed with him or the kids too much— he better get ready for Stanley to start calling him out on it. He’s going straight for that “so did dad not love u or something?” LMAOO. I think he’d freakin love Zooble, I feel like he’d adopt them as his cool older kid similar to how he would with Wendy— feel like he sees a lot of himself in them. Likes Pomni cuz of dipper and also I imagine he finds her snarky remarks amusing, bluntfulness gets you points to this man [same with ford]

Alrighty that’s all I got! Sorry if this is long I ended up just having fun w/this ask! [tysm!]

[fakeusernamelol]

Ford is like 'wow....my baby girls are all grown up...🥺 <<33' meanwhile Shermie and Mariana are both like 'we thought Pa beat you to death in that basement and we were on his side'

(I think Stan would wanna reclaim 'Pa' for his kids because he's more deserving of the Pa title than Filbrick ever was and he isn't afraid to be like his father because he isn't. Not like Ford. )

your ideas are making me so happy 🥺💖💖💖 to all of you anons who are playing with me with this silly au (and the original one I HAVEN'T FORGET IT AHHH) i love youuuu 🥰🥰💖💓💖💓💖💓 No tw here finally goddammit

Omg yes!!! Stan was kinda grateful ford didn't let the kids call him Pa because he could now give a better use to that title more than filbrick or ford could. It also made things easier for him and the kids to switch from calling him Ma to Pa lol

After his disappearance, everyone's life improved considerably lol. the only idiot who still mourned his absence from time to time was Stan but still his memories of Ford were bittersweet (way more bitter than sweet..) For his own sake he preferred not to think about his adult life with Ford, he preferred to keep the good memories of his childhood and those of his adolescence before that day. When Ford was still sweet to him and they were genuinely a silly couple in love...That Ford had died and he doesn't know if the current one had done so or not, whatever the case was, Stan would no longer be a coward in front of him and when he was back, the one who had to adapt to the rules was him and not Stan. He would be MUCH MORE protective to Dipper and Mabel, Ford doesn't seem to be that aggressive and after that punch he gave him stan hoped he was clear that he would do it again if he dared to say something to him or the kids (specially to Dipper, stan was so annoyed the kid was so interested in Ford because he didn't know what ford could do to him..)

About Shermie and Mariana, they got the news thanks to letters Mabel sent them, they couldn't believe what the letter said that they decided to plan a "family meeting" just to see with their own eyes if her granddaughter/niece wasn't lying and that the man they thought for 30 years was dead, wasn't.

The welcome from his kids to ford wasn't also good lol, at least stan was happy to see their children again after some time and so they were to see their Pa but couldn't say the same to their Father.

Im sure Ford didn't recognise shermie at first, he thought he was Mariana's husband or something Before realizing that he was actually his daughter- well, son.

He's not acting as rude towards them and didn't dare to say something to shermie or stan about that but anyway they were uncomfortable, they ended up knowing what happened between stan and ford and honestly, it would be better if he was dead. He wasn't a father no more to them, their real father was named Stanley and he was for them, Why did stan make him come back? Life was better without him, ford wasn't known to them no more..he even was?

[blankcest]

*deep dramatic inhale*

Who named Callisto?

Do they have a gender?

How did the boys acquire a child? Is it genetically both of theirs or was it adopted by one or both? When did they acquire this child?

Do either of them have any nicknames for them?

How old are they in comparison to Dipper and Mabel?

Does this affect the sea grunks voyage (postpone or stop it)?

If they got this child pre-portal does Ford still fall in the portal?

What does the child look like (roughly)?

Do they have any defining character traits?

Do they have any birth defects from having twin fathers (if they're genetically all related)?

Do they have any disabilities unrelated to having twin fathers?

Do they have a certain style of clothing/bedroom/etc?

Did they have any opportunity to meet Shermie/Caryn/Filbrick?

Did they inherit traits from their fathers and if so which ones? A

re you going to make any content of them (drawings/fics)?

Do u have any fun facts abt them?

- :) e

ALRIGHT! They’re a Pinecest not a stancest baby so! They’re Dipper and Mabel’s kid smile

1) Dipper named Callisto! Mabel obviously had a say in it but Mabel being Mabel had so much fun coming up with names but couldnt choose one.

Dipper did research and really wanted a star related name because of his birthmark and his nickname. Ended up settling on Callisto because of the greek myth related to it and the Dippers. Basically, he views himself as a small part of Callisto’s life because of how important they are to him.

And well, that melted Mabel’s Heart so she let him choose the name :]

2) They’re a bit of a gender fuck. They’re intersex however their intersex traits don’t really show up till they hit puberty. So they were AFAB, and then came out as nonbinary at 8. Which lowkey triggered Mabel and Dipper’s gender exploration in turn when they did research into it cause they’re HELLA supportive parents.

Plus the whole town loves and cherish their little guy too so! They grew up in a really loving snd supportive environment.

3) Sadly, straight sex between Mabel and Dipper’s happened when they where in college and hence how the child was acquired </3

I promise their genders get weird in their 30s

4) Mabel calls Callisto “Calli” when they’re a baby, and it sort of always sticks. However, Dipper insists on calling them their full name. Stan calls em Cal or “Star Child”. Ford also likes calling them their full name. They don’t really have a preference when it comes to nicknames.

5) Mabel and Dipper have them when they’re 22 going on 23. And I tend to focus on when they’re 12 (so dips and mabs are 34) or 16 (so dips and mabs are 38)

6) I would say yes it does. Basically Dipper and Mabel come by during and landlock month and it causes the Grunks to stay to help their great niece and nephew figure out this whole incest baby thing. Cause Stancest is cannon also so they like, aren’t judgmental of Mabel and Dipper’s predicament.

7) Happens Post Cannon :]

8) They’re Blonde with green eyes but they like dying their hair black for some reason. They wear cute little overalls and big old mountain hiking boots. They also have purple ear rings and wears a bunch of stuff mabel has made for them since they where a baby.

9) They LOVE nature and taking nature walks in gravity falls. They also love the supernatural and is very opinionated about it’s relationship to the ecosystem.

Even though they love nature and plants, they can’t grow things for shit. They kill every plant they attempt to take care of and no one knows why.

They gain really bad social anxiety when they’re a teenager for sort of no reason, but its not too big ol deal cause everyone in town knows them.

10) Thankfully they where very lucky and was born completely healthy!

11) Same as above :]]

12) They have a thing for overalls and androgynous clothing in general most of the time. Especially if it covers their chest as they get older. They also wear hiking stuff cause they spend a lot of time hiking in the gravity fall’s forest whenever they arent at school.

They live at the mystery shack along with the rest of their family and actually lives in the attic once they were old enough to have their own room. Its covered in art Mabel has made for them as well their their own fiber crafts and artwork. They also keep a journal like their dad and grunkle but its way more of a diary then anything else. They like sitting in the window still and watch the clouds go by.

13) Perhaps they might have a birthmark somewhere like dipper… uncertain.

14) THEY ARE KEPT A 100% SCERET BY MABEL DIPPER AND THE GRUNKS FROM THE REST OF THE FAMILY FOR.. OBVIOUS REASONS

15) Ive actually drawn em quite a bit and plan on posting the drawings at some point!! They might get a fic if theres a enough interest for me or others.

16) They where originally created to roleplay with @cravingpepsimax with Sylvia and i drew a little storyboard about their meeting!

[seiya234]

She didn't ever have much time to herself.

And that was okay! Mabel Pines was not made for being alone! Mabel existed through both her boundless self-confidence, and the reflection of her light back onto her from other people!

Oof. That sounded a little vain. Maybe it was. Maybe it wasn't.

Mabel had never been good at introspection. She just was.

And what she was was a manic pixie nightmare woman thing. What she was was the sister of a demon, niece of a conman and a mad scientist, wife of the hottest librarian in the Pacific Northwest. She was a Friend of the Forest, she knew Things Man Was Not Meant To Know, had Dabbled in Darque Majicks, and Other Things That Required Capital Letters.

And then the triplets had been born.

And like, she loved them more than life itself, more than Henry, more than Dipper, more than anything. And they had very prosaic needs, such as diaper changes, snuggles, and milk. But it was surprisingly easy to roll them into the chaos that was life in Gravity Falls.

Probably because they had never known anything different, she mused.

So things went on like that for a few years until it came time to enroll them in school.

There was the wild world of magic and demons and extended family that the triplets lived in with her.

But now there was also this little world they went to for a few hours every day, with it's own rules and little dramas that Mabel wasn't privy to.

And now Mabel was sitting in a overstuffed little gym, watching the kids with the rest of their Pre-K class shout-sing to Jingle Bells, and shake a bell bracelet out of time. Mabel had managed to get their Hanukkah sweaters on right before they left but apparently the Pines were the only one to miss the memo that the kids should have been wearing Santa hats too.

Her babies, who were no longer babies, but kids, towered over all the other kids in their class, and Hank was definitely picking his nose in front of everyone, and Willow was almost certainly just opening and closing her mouth because she forgot the words and Acacia somehow had elbowed her way into the very front and it was so very normal-

And she was crying. Her kids had begun to leave the little world that her and Henry, Dipper and Stan, had made for them, and obviously it would be a long time before they grew up but-

This was a world where she was Mrs. Pines, where the teacher gave her a dirty look when she burped pixie dust at the PTA meeting, where Mabel didn't quite belong...

But the teachers loved her kids, and the triplets were happy here.

Mabel didn't understand this world. And she didn't have to. It was okay. Just like it was okay that her kids were growing up. Kids were supposed to do that.

She just didn't think it would hurt this much.

Hello! I wanted to create a shared timeline between some Disney Shows

Warnings before we begin:

I did mess with the ages of the characters and presumed years each show takes place for the purposes of the au I was working with and what would make more sense (Hello Anne 'I made varsity tennis at age 12', I am talking to you)

This is meant to tie in with my Amphibia au '4 Stars'. While it's not going to break any of these shows much, it does impact some of the decisions I'm making, such as having The Owl House earlier in the timeline, as well as how much focus I'm giving Amphibia's side of the universe.

2013:

June: Dipper and Mabel Pines (Age 13) arrive in Gravity Falls

August: Bill Cypher invades Earth and almost destroys it

AN: The Pines Twins' ages have never made sense to me. Turning 13 should only set them up to enter 8th grade which isn't the beginning of high school in the American school system. Also, Mabel at least would have already noticeably started puberty.

December: Star Butterfly turns 15 and is given the royal wand

2014:

January: The creation of the Calamity Stones, the creation of the Calamity Box, the box sending itself to Amphibia, and the beginning of the Leviathan dynasty's imperial conquest of other dimensions (please see below for elaboration)

Also January: Star is sent to Mewni's sister realm, Earth, and meets Marco Diaz (Age 15) in Echo Creek (East LA), California

AN: I see the wand as being given at the very beginning of Mewman adulthood, so I wanted to age Star up a bit. Because the Diaz's are a Mexican-American family, I wanted to make her 15 since the symbolic and social transition to adult responsibilities seemed fitting for Star and her journey.

October: Star loses the Royal Magic Book of Spells and Glossaryck to Ludo. A couple months later, Glossaryck's current physical form (at the time) is destroyed.

2015:

June: Star returns to Mewni with her mother after Toffee kills and/or temporarily kills the entire Magical High Commission. A few days later, Star fully unlocks her magical potential

Also June: Luz Noceda (Age 14) travels through a magic door portal from Gravesfield, Connecticut to the Demon Realm. Less than 10 days later, the portal seemingly spontaneously combusts with almost no one the wiser.

October: Luz meets Vee, a basilisk impersonating her and their mom finds out that Luz is in The Demon Realm.

AN: Much like Amphibia, time also passes differently in The Demon Realm. Theres a couple different pockets of time (see below for elaboration) but 6 weeks on The Boiling Isles= ~9.4 days on Earth.

2016:

April: Luz and her friends arrive back on Earth

June: Queen Moon goes missing, Star is temporarily made queen, and she gives the wand and throne back to Eclipsa

October: Luz, her mom, and her friends go back to the Boiling Isles to save it, and Luz and Camila Noceda come back victorious.

November: Scientists discover that the lake around an old graveyard in Gravesfield, Connecticut contains strange structures, artifacts, plant matter, and an unknown script.

AN: Being alone with scientists starting to look into Gravesfield is terrifying for Vee. The Pines family finds out about the oddities going on in Gravesfield and go to check it out. Eda and Stan reunite, and it is very strange for everyone involved except for Ford who finds it hilarious.

2017:

January: Meteora Butterfly is aged up by the Neverzone to be about 16 years old. Meteora and her mom come to an agreement to split the difference since she doesn't want to forget her time here, turning her eight years old. About two weeks later, Eclipsa is officially crowned queen.

AN: I chose 6 months between Eclipsa being given the wand back and her coronation as queen due to the different developmental milestones Meteora displays. She is swaddled at the end of Conquer despite not really needing to be, so I put her at about 4 months. Babies crawl at around 10 and she does in Cornonation.

May: Leif comes to Earth with the rightfully stolen Calamity Box and hides it among a bunch of antiques.

June: Dr. Wu accepts a job offer for early next year studying the strange plant matter found in a lakebed in Gravesfield, Connecticut. Believing that his family would enjoy the quiet and mysterious atmosphere of this small town, he and his wife decide to move.

August: Marcy Wu, Sasha Waybright, Anne Boonchuy, and [4th star] steal the Calamity Box and activate it, getting sent to Amphibia. About 12 hours later, Anne, [the 4th star], and the alien frog child Polly return.

Also August: Two weeks later, the trio and a squad of human allies go back to Amphibia to stop Andrias and save Sasha and Marcy. About an hour later, they return victorious.

AN: A bunch of people either sense or have technology that senses when the box is opened. Dipper was coincidentally in the area visiting various universities in Southern California with Mabel and Grunkle Ford, so they rush to check it out.

September: The Wu family completely moves to Connecticut slightly later than planned. Marcy befriends and swaps stories with Luz and Vee Noceda, eventually convincing them to tell Dr. Wu about the existence of The Demon Realm.

2018:

January: Dr. Wu begins studying the Gravesfield site. While he is aware of where these plants likely came from and the potential dangers, he continues on all the more fascinated, focusing on dating them and analyzing their internal structure and the impact they have on the soil. Marcy and Luz are even allowed to help, both having studied plants from other dimensions before.

September: Dipper begins attending UCSD dual majoring in Zoology and Environmental Science. Mabel and Pacifica go to cosmetic and business school respectively.

AN: I picked UCSD specifically because it is both a prominent university with a focus in research and is the closest and biggest school to Oceanside, CA (which is a real place and idk why the wiki says it isn't)

2020:

September: Marcy and Sasha both begin attending UCSD as Marine Biology and Social Psychology majors respectively.

AN: Anne goes to a community college in Los Angeles instead (like financially responsible people). Anne is getting a certificate in horticulture while working at her family's restaurant

AN: [4th Star] will get a certificate in photography while building her underwater photography portfolio.

2021:

October: Molly McGee (Age 13) moves to Brighton, Iowa and encounters/ befriends the paranormal

2022:

January: Haley Banks (Age 16) is visited by a person from the future and gains access to some futuristic tech and knowledge

July: Dipper (22) begins studying under Dr. Wu in the budding field that is interdimensional biology

AN: Dipper didn't peruse his master's/ PhD under his Grunkle Ford due to both ethical reasons and the fact that Dipper is a bio-centered scientist. Luckily for him, Dr. Wu has been publishing papers on supernatural plant matter discovered in Gravesfield.

AN: When Haley eventually graduates, she will actually ask to peruse her master's under Dr. Stanford Pines in environmental engineering.

November: The Pines twins and Pacifica go to Brighton to check and see if everything is okay. Mabel and Molly really bond and the whole situation ends on good terms with open communication.

2023:

March: Scratch comes back to life

Beginning of January, 2014:

Glossaryck becomes worried that between the dream demon's failed takeover last year and Princess Butterfly's presence on top of Earth's ambient magic this upcoming year, Earth will be thrown into the interdimensional limelight sooner than they can handle. As a result, he conspires with the Cosmic Axolotl to minimize Earth's aura by condensing all of Earth's ambient magic into 4 gemstones that they call 'The Calamity Stones'.

These stones would give someone incredible power and The Axolotl, wanting to see what someone with a good heart could do with power like this, leaves them in the possession of Hailey Banks. While Hailey would one day be a brilliant scientist who changes the world, she is eight years old when immense cosmic power falls into her possession. She instead imbeds the stones into a music box she made. When she steps back to admire her handiwork, the box vanishes.

The Box would then be found by Valeriana, a salamander priestess of the Cosmic Axolotl (though not known by that name). She would present the box to her king, Atlas Leviathan, who uses them to conquer many of the smaller worlds surrounding Amphibia, claiming them in the name of the Leviathan Empire.

If this is you first time here: Hello! I'm hope you're enjoying my timeline so far! Amphibia and Earth run on different speeds. Much like the planets in our solar system, a year on Earth is not the same as a year in Amphibia. 10,000 years pass on Amphibia between the box sending itself to Amphibia and Leif taking it back to Earth whereas on Earth, it has been approximately 3 years and 5 months.

How Dr P's plays into this: Instead of Dr. P's being a book, it's a blog that Dipper (with the help of Grunkle Ford and others) runs to inform others about oddities that aren't in Gravity Falls that they want to keep an eye or obtain if they can. When Leif brought the box back to Earth, The Cosmic Axolotl, in the form of Frilliam, informed Ford of its presence and danger. He then told Dipper, and they created the post to ask if anyone had seen it.

The Demon Realm's Time:

Time moves differently on every continent. The only two that we have to worry about for now are The Boiling Isles and The Neverzone (the place Hekapoo resides and makes dimensional scissors).

The conversion is: Earth: BI: NZ = 1 Day: 4.8 Months: 388,800 Years

When it comes to The Owl House's timeline, Luz graduates from Hexside before the Day of Unity. The portal is destroyed after six weeks and she spends (in total) 4 years there, most of that time trying to fix the door and become the best witch she can be to beat Emperor Belos.

When Eda takes Luz on as an apprentice, she gives her a potion that will keep her aging consistent with time passing on Earth as opposed to time passing on The Boiling Isles. Because no witch has ever seen a human before or understands how they work, she doesn't have to explain her lack of physical aging.

AN: When it comes to Amphibia, the girls flip flop back and forth between the ages they should be in the world that they are currently in. During the events of Amphibia, the girls are 15 on Earth and 15-20 on Amphibia.
