Heyo, just wanted to say adore your art style and your blog in general

For a family focused show theres uh...a *lot* of shipping and people can do what they want but its just so refreshing to see content based on the family aspect of the show-

Anyway, love your art, love your comics and protective Ford my beloved <3

Thank you so much! I really appreciate that!

I re-watched season 1 with my friend about a month ago and it just reminded me of how much Gravity Falls really means to me and highlights the importance of family interactions and relationships. It's kind of the reason why I love the found family trope. The Pines are like a second family to me so it only makes sense I draw any and all things family related bonding.

Having Triangulum thoughts and wondering

would Mabel adopt Mina as a sister/cousin and how would she and Mabel interact?

Idk, brain just was curious about Mina and Mabel-

The funny thing about familial labels when it comes to putting them on Bill and Mina and their relationship with the Pines is that I can try and avoid them all I want. But Mabel always always ALWAYS gets a pass for them because she's Mabel. If she dubs them as cousins-slash-kinda-siblings, then I simply have no say in the matter and neither will anyone else. That's what they are now, Mabel said so.

The short answer to all of that is yes, definitely, absolutely. Mina is absolutely her sister/cousin once the idea pops into her head and is officially part of Mabel's friend group. She's gonna introduce her to SO MANY human girl things and they're gonna have SO MANY SLEEPOVERS where they do crafts, play games, talk about boys (or girls, or whatever <3). Mina's going to be so overwhelmed in the BEST WAY POSSIBLE because once Mabel dubs them family, they're bonded for life.

(Bfbsjdj omggg Bill is mad mad huh- he's pulling *deep*

(He might be just as bored as Stan claimed, so he's mad about being clocked him that well alongside the Ford stuff. No one gets to be able to read people like that except him <3)

Re: Mari and Jon post

Now I never said Mari was throwing *her* shoe

Just *a* shoe-

Took the shoe right off Jon's foot to hit him with it

Is the first thought to come to my head

Hi, hello, you a Monatra Bakery fan too?

I am willing to bet that I introduced you to Monstra City bakery.

$5.

Anyway yes I am pondering the idea of asking if they need any help with social media management because it's one of my favorite things ever

Give it a read!!!

aaand Library uncle Au is now up on ao3!

As per usual, I can't promise a consistent update schedule but lets see where the plot bunnies go from here-

[little-cereal-draws]

So I finished @earako 's amazing the queen lives/aunti val au fic last night, and it was amazing, but all I could think of was this low-quality meme so here it is

[mayornoninot]

@earako I am a grandma. how do you work this... Tumblr, thing...

[dulce-de-mani]

Kid Ballister with earrings because @earako has a very cute headcanon and I really wanted to draw a Ballister with earrings!

I had a more dynamic concept but it got lost in my mind, and I'm not 100% satisfied with the background but I still love my artwork :D

[sir-ballister-boldheart]

No stop 😭😭😭😭😭

Literally just Ambrosius stuck in a cell where he's chained to the wall and his long hair is all messy and down and he's so unlike himself because he's fucking feral and will bite or kick anyone who gets too close (bonus points if he can hear Ballister screaming in the cell next to him hehe)

there is no context, just the idea :D why have one whumpee when you can have two!!!

Who needs context when you can just have whump

[l33tsaber]

Already voted in the poll for Earako but I am assigning you coffee flavor :]

As you should :D :D :D

[artsymeeshee]

*reads latest instinct update*

*facedown sobbing*/pos

These brotheerrrssss-

Absolutely adore how you draw and write the Stan twins!

Thank you! The support for it has been so amazing lately. 💜

And all writing credit goes to @renconner . She's the brains behind it all, I just draw it out.

[astro-b-o-y-d]

*rewatches gravity falls*

Wait

*squints*

IS -THAT- WHY IT'S CALLED TRIANGULUM?!

Maybe :)

(It's also a constellation. Actually it's TWO constellations)

Nimona Big Bang Sign Ups Are Open!

Do you love the Nimona movie and/or graphic novel? Are you a writer who has always wanted fanart for a fic, or an artist looking for inspiration?

Sign up for the Nimona Big Bang and we will help find you a good match!

What's a Big Bang?

A Big Bang is a collaborative fandom event that results in an explosion of new fanwork. Writers are paired with artists, who create fanart for the new fanfic written for the Bang.

For the Nimona Big Bang, we're asking for a 5,000 word minimum for fanfics and two art pieces. Participants can take on up to two possible roles: writer, artist, beta reader (to help proofread draft fics), writer pinch hitter (in case a writer needs to drop out), or artist pinch hitter (in case an artist needs to drop out).

What's the schedule?

Sign ups for all roles opened on January 1, 2024. Writers need to sign up by March 1st, artists need to sign up by April 1st, and beta readers need to sign up by July 28th.

Writers need to provide fic summaries/200 word excerpts no later than April 20th so that artists can bid on them. Writers and artists will be paired by April 28th.

We will have several scheduled check-ins to make sure everyone's on track. If you feel like you need to drop out, please do so by July 15th so that we can try to find a replacement writer or artist for your partner.

Final fanfics and fanart will be revealed on September 14th.

The detailed schedule is here.

How do I sign up?

Please sign up using this form.

I'm not sure if I have enough time for this.

We understand that people are busy! The schedule was designed to be relatively relaxed and low pressure.

I'm not sure if my writing or art is good enough.

We're not gatekeeping! Beginners are welcome.

We also will have beta readers to help proofread for grammar, spelling, and clarity.

I'm having trouble coming up with a fic idea.

We're happy to help! If needed, we can provide prompts, AU ideas, etc.

I've never written a fic that's 5,000 words before.

This is an excellent excuse to give it a try in a supportive community! If you're used to writing shorter scenes, connecting enough of them will help get you there. :) (The 5 + 1 fic format might be a good fit if you have length concerns, but there are many ways to write a fanfic.)

What about...

More detailed information is in the Rules and Guidelines. We also have a Discord server.

If you can't find what you're looking for, feel free to send this blog an ask or message us! @random-nerd-posts and @zyrafowe-sny are helping run the event, with assistance from writer mod @knightofburgers, artist mod @toxix-st6, and beta reader mod @cameron7a.

We hope you sign up today and are looking forward to all the wonderful fic and fanart!
