The power of the brain and manifestation is unbelievable, once you harness the ability to use it.

Spells can be incredibly powerful. So powerful that it has made me cautious. To set an intention before completing a spell is important.

Take only what you need. Give only what you can.

When asking the Universe your question, or request, be prepared for the unexpected. Prepare yourself by being specific in what you ask of her.

And, Monkey Paw, be careful what you wish for.

Alright, It's official:

Demon's Desciple AU:

Stanford Pines finds a cave deep in the Forest of Gravity Falls with paintings depicting an ancient god. After deciphering the ancient encryptions that accompany the paintings, Stanford discovers that the God promises salvation to our dimension that is on the brink of destruction brought on by humans. All he requires to do so is a conduit from his home to ours, an Apostle to guide and act under his advisement and a disciple to carry out his judgements against those that do not believe in the cause. Those that do not believe in a New Paradise.

Stanford enlists his college roomate, Fiddleford McGucket to assist in building the conduit. His muse has told him that they are destined for great things and will receive a great reward once the gate between worlds is complete.

However, during a field test of the Gate, Fiddleford almost gets sucked in, and what he sees on the other side is a horrific being shedding its skin in order to feed. This is not a god, but a Demon.

When he tries to warn Stanford, Stanford realizes that Fiddleford has lost his way and his faith has faltered. He cannot have someone who doesn't believe in the cause. He tells Fiddleford to make a choice: To choose God and Salvation, or to leave. Fiddleford leaves. Stanford realizes he can't finish this on his own, so he calls his brother for the first time in a decade. With Stanley by his side as His disciple, they would surely reach their salvation.

Stanley arrives at the behest of his brother, and something seems...off. His brother is giddy. He looks depraved. When was the last time he slept? What were the symbols etched into his walls and doors...drawn in his windows in...was that blood?

Stanford takes Stan down to the Gate and excitedly explains his mission to his brother who does not believe him and thinks it's some sort of joke. Until the Gate gets turned on and Stanford laughs, desperately trying to get his brother to see that it's all real and their God is waiting for them on the other side. That their Great Reward will soon be given to them. He explains his journals and how His plans are outlined in them. He shows Stanley the blueprints and diagrams.

Stan looks at him, in utter shock at what had become of his brother. He grabs the journal and pulls out his lighter, stating it was for Stanford's own good. He needed help. Stanford roars and tackles Stan and they both go through the portal.

On the other side, they are met by Stanford's god, welcoming them both and promising a great reward. Stan doesn't like anything about this thing. Whatever it is, it's powerful and dangerous. As Stanford is groveling at the feet of his god, Stan grabs him and runs. Bill sends his other "Disciples" after them, but Stan manages to evade them.

They end up lost in the multiverse for a few months with Stan realizing his brother is lost in his beliefs. He challenges Stanford's "Faith" at every turn. How can he be so sure his actions and choices are his own? Was he not being influenced by something else? He wasn't acting of his own volition, but by something else telling him bullshit stories of salvation and paradise. None of it was real, and his "God" was a demon!

Stanford always argues that he's acting on behalf of a higher power that has a plan for him. For THEM. If Stan joins the cause, he will be spared judgement and will find his way to Paradise as well.

Stan realizes there's no getting him back.

Stanford betrays Stanley and leaves him stranded in the multiverse while he goes back to his God. He manages to create a small rift and go through back to his world, but he would need the Gate in order to allow Him access to our world, and the Gate broke down after his and Stanley's entry. And Stanley has the second journal with him in the portal.

Stanford opens the Temple of Ciphertology in Gravity Falls and spends the next 30 years gathering disciples and rebuilding the Gate. One summer, his nephew contacts him and asks if his children can spend the summer in Gravity Falls while he sorts out his marriage, mistakingly thinking that it's his uncle Stanley, not Stanford. Stanford agrees, thinking he can send the children on missions for his Church. Once they arrive, he realizes that they represent two of the symbols on his God's Summoning Circle. Now he had all the symbols in one place, and it was only a matter of time before the Gate was operational and he could bring his God's will to fruition.

Meanwhile, Stanley makes it his life mission to kill the Demon God and make his way back home to kill his crazed and dangerous brother. He manages to convince some other Fords to help him make the Quantum Destabilizer, then steals it and goes back to the Nightmare dimension to face off with Bill. Just as he gets his chance, the portal opens and he propels himself through it, instead, using the Quantum Destabilizer on his way out to break the portal again and prevent Bill from entering. Imagine Stanford's distain when what comes through the Gate is not his God, but his heretic brother who did not believe in his divine purpose.

Thanks to @localcanadiancreature62 for the name and some great additions to my weird AU! ❤️

I think about the Rex Stout "Watson was a woman" rant every fucking day. I have introduced (or plan to introduce) all my friends to it, indiscriminately, you don't even have to like sherlock holmes. I quote it frequently. never have I ever been so moved by fandom nonsense in my LIFE. that man was having 2014 tumblr discourse in 1942 and you know what I admire him for it. absolutely mad. the quote "the most mystical number, namely seven" rattles around in my brain constantly. I am not keeping my chairs, lads

Allow me a little fangirling ^^ - unintelligible

Guuuys, The Chosen.

That's it. The Chosen.

Every time I watch the show. Even just scenes of it. Instantly I'm bawling my eyes out. It is so touching. I can only recommend it with much, much love.

It is beautifully shot. The characters are spot on. It is so funny, so so funny. Only of cource you know scriptures - mainly the Gospels obviously - . It is so good. I have seen it many times and it also helped me with memorising scriptures.

I love the way they include some old testament stories, and also prophecies, they hint to them somethimes slightly, sometimes more directly.

If you haven't watched it, give it a try. It will be worth it. ;)

love,

hyla

Now that Ventress' death has been effectively retconned. . .

Maybe Omega should go find out what Ventress has been doing this whole damn time.

Presumably Ventress and Vos are floating around together with the Path. Although at this point, Dark Disciple might have been firmly moved into Legends.

Random Fan Theory of the Day!

[lokisarmyjustinvadedmidgard]

Our girl is back!! She's here again, not dead! OMG I can't wait for the new Season of Bad Batch so we can see her again. She better find Vos and then they live happily ever after right because they deserve it more than anyone else and with no Order and no Dooku please let them have a happy life
