[gay-dorito-dust]

hi!! could you maybe write for being the younger sibling of dipper and mabel? maybe the reader is like, 9/10 y.o i wonder what they're sibling relationships would be as well as they're relationship with stan and ford

They say a bond between twins is a bond unlike any other, but didn’t mean that dipper or Mabel cared about you any less then they did each other, you were their baby sibling and they were always going to have your back no matter what.

Dipper would be the protective older brother who’s sometimes come across as strict and would often forbid you from joining him and Mabel on monster hunts, stating that you were too young to be doing something as dangerous as hunting monsters.

You’d naturally respond with the fact that technically he and Mabel were also too young to be going head on into monster hunting too, so thereby making the statement redundant and him look like a hypocrite. To which Dipper would agree with you on but still would tell you it was too dangerous for you, he only wants to keep you safe but you had too much of a stubborn spirit to be easily swayed into staying put.

Mabel on the other hand was the chill sibling who’d let you join in the monster hunting any day because she didn’t want you feeling left out. After all it was kinda a family thing to hunt the unknown of gravity falls at this point, so she didn’t see why you shouldn’t come along with her and Dipper because as long as you had the journal with you, you were fine.

You tend to argue with dipper more than Mabel but that’s because dipper tended to take himself too seriously as your older brother while Mabel doesn’t take herself seriously enough. So whenever you and dipper did argue, Mabel tended to be the peace keeper between the two of you or use Waddles as a distraction from your arguing to come together.

Despite all this you, Dipper and Mabel were loyal and faithful to one another that there wasn’t anything any of you wouldn’t do for the other.

Dipper would give up everything to keep you and Mabel safe as he knew you and her would do the same and you did on multiple occasions, saving each other’s lives and so on. You all headed into the unknown together, never once thinking of leaving the other behind because if one of you were to go down, the other two would rush to your side and pick you back up.

You helped dipper decode stuff and listen to him drone on about Wendy from time to time while playing dungeons, dungeons and emore dungeons with him and Grunkle Ford.

You’d help Mabel bedazzle everything in sight and spend time with her, Candy and Grenda on the odd occasion of doing karaoke with her and grunkle Stan whenever the occasion calls for a bit of fun.

You were best friends with Dipper and Mabel as much as you were siblings and that was the best kind of relationship you had.

Also if Mabel had waddles then you have a pet raccoon or maybe an axolotl like Ford once did.

If dipper was similar to Ford

And if Mabel was similar to Stanley

Then you were the perfect balance of both of them. Stubborn and sometimes silly like Stan but curious and observant like Ford.

Stan and Ford could clearly see bits and pieces of themselves in you like they could with Dipper and Mabel, with the only difference being that you weren’t a twin nor had a twin but that didn’t stop either Grunkle from wanting to spend time with you.

They had to play rock, paper, scissors against one another to see who’d get to spend time with you first, only for Stan to come out the victor.

Stan would teach you how to box first and foremost so that if anyone tried anything with you, they’d get decked in the face from a vicious right hook. He just wants you to be able to protect yourself even if you were only 9/10 it didn’t make a difference to him really.

Teaches you on how to con people out of their money, lie effortlessly and make quick get aways or even how to get out of handcuffs without trying. Did he once give you a fishing hat with your name stitched on it for the soul purpose of taking you fishing with him when Dipper was with Ford and Mabel was with Candy and Grenda? Yes, he wanted something only you and him could do together that was just yours and his.

Cuz it was either that or commit arson and or property damage to other competitors.

Now with Ford he’ll probably have you be outside with him and documenting strange looking mushrooms and or flowers that you’d come across. It sounds boring but it’s quite fun if you came across fairies and the like, however the moment Ford sees that you were about to fall into a Fae trap, he’s picking you up and getting you as far away from it as he could.

Just like Stan, Ford wanted something that was just for you and him, sure he and Dipper go monster hunting, and he and Mabel dressed up as witches once, but he wanted something he could do with just you.

You’d bond over the fact that you both had/have a pet axolotl.

You and Ford probably took a break from your joint documenting to make flower crowns for one another while having a small picnic in the woods. It was peaceful and relaxing to you but Ford was keeping an eye out to make sure nothing would disturb your little picnic, while looking as menacingly as he could with a cute flower crown on his head.

If you both found a flower that was never seen before, you can bet your ass that Ford is naming it after you, no questions asked.

Stan and Ford are just as protective of you as they are the twins and they can and will step in between you and whoever is making you uncomfortable, all the while keeping you safely behind them as Stan whips out his brass knuckles and Ford shows off the gun on his hip in a silent threat.

Nobody messes with their family and they’ll make sure that message is loud and clear.

Bonus; Bill would probably try to manipulate you into thinking that neither dipper, Mabel, Stan or Ford cared about you cuz twins will look out for each other always but you were the spare sibling that gets forgotten, Insisting Stan and Ford’s brother as reason as to why but you knew your family better then a sentient one eyed triangle did and know that your family would always come through for you time and time again.

And they have and they always will no matter what.

Well hello there! Boy there's a lot of bills on here...

Though it looks like you're cut from a different cloth Ms Enigma!

I'm bill pines! I got caught in one the redemption timelines, instead of getting sent to that weird prison thing I got off on parole! Sort of...

Axe <axolotl> had me reincarnate into a little flesh bag and dumped me on pinetrees front door! Not the scrawny little mystery solving one, an older one. Didn't get any of my powers and this flesh suit isn't exactly the best quality....but I've slowly <begrudgingly> improved over time and currently work at the shack! Even started to get some of my little tricks back!

I've become part of the family, and ole Ford has only tried to get rid of me a handful of times so-

Oh gee this is a lot of stuff.

Anyways, see ya around!!

-🧢🏡

"...oh god..."

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!

Well, well, well, well, well!~ Oh, darling, how the mighty have fallen. I meaaaan. I knew this would happen at some point! I knew that a pathetic Cipher would wind up at my doorstep.

First of all, you're a failure, just like the rest of 'em. Second, A FUCKING REDEMPTION ARC?! Are you fucking kidding me?! This feels like a cosmic practical joke, or something. Holy shit. How bad must you be at your job to get that, huh? Third, you're just a variation of the Handyman AU. Which. Is! Once again! PATHETIC.

Dear, we are NOT cut from the same cloth. If anything, you're a loose thread that been floating because you were snipped.

[nowimjustastranger]

What other things can you tell us about the Sombody to call my own au???

I am deeply fascinated by a Ford that goes around trying to bring Stanleys to other fates!!!!!

Also the way you write Fords for your aus is just 👌✨ DELICIOUSO ✨

Your fords and Stanley are interesting creatures that just tick off the right boxes for me!!

Dark-ish protective Ford? Stanley angst?

SIGN ME UP

Anyways your aus are some of my personal favorites!

And I constantly suffer brainrot rip

Hopefully you have a good timezone :D

Omg I'm so happy to hear that you like my AU's!!! I worry about characterization a lot, so it's a relief when my readers tell me that the boys are written well. All my writing (for any fandom) features two things: feral and dark. I usually try to take the character that would fit both those qualities best and apply it to them.

Ford 419"3 has met other versions of himself in the multiverse, but he usually keeps to himself because he either wants to knock some sense into them or strangle them to death if he does actually interact with them. Ford's mentality is very much 'you don't even know what you have' in reference to Stan because most Ford's still have their brother (and for good fucking reason) but are still holding a grudge.

The way I see it, the younger that Ford loses Stan, the more unstable Ford is as an adult. Basically, the Axolotl knew what it was doing when Ford and Stan were paired together across dimensions.

Ford was the planned child and, while Stan was unexpected, he's just as necessary. As we see in canon, Ford is the one with the capabilities to destroy the world (accidentally or otherwise), while Stan ended up saving the world. Ford may have started the fight with Bill, but Stan had finished it.

They balance each other out. Where Ford is all brains, Stan is all heart.

hurt people hurt people: gravity falls

i haven't read the book of bill but pls stay with me here.

I've seen a lot of people discuss how fiddleford was very there for ford during the bill stuff. many people pointing out how bill and fords relationship is all written like an abusive one with the unreliable narrator of ford. and how fiddleford is his only solace in that. the person, real human person with his best interests in mind, who is there for him.

but i think we lack discussion in how fiddleford is also getting hurt in this case. like the axolotl thing. and every other instance where he tries to do something nice for ford, where hes there but ford is cold to him(as alex hirsh has mentioned him doing before). this is also something relating to the messed up relationship shown between bill and ford. its not uncommon for someone in an abusive relationship to start isolating the other relationships in their life.

and fiddleford keeps coming back. ford is the most important person in his life. and hes being hurt, not by manipulation and things said, but by being ignored. by trying to help his friend, only to still have to watch the virus of his mind(bill) be stronger.

i personally do think ford and fiddleford felt romantic things about each other. at least, i'd definitely say fiddleford didnt feel entirely platonic things about ford. and neither did bill. and i think fords feeling towards bill cant be cleanly called much of anything, only that he was fascinated and enraptured by bill. and that he often revered his perspective.

so ford cares for fiddleford a great deal. hes his only remaining human connection, and he does treasure what fiddleford does. but hes still cold to him. he still ignores fiddlefords warnings and concerns.

fiddleford is playing second fiddle. to fords endeavors and bill.

and because of his fixation on helping ford and exploring science with ford, hes abandoning his family. hes ignoring his wife, and presumably kids. hes neglecting his own self worth because clearly its somewhat connected to fords treatment of him and where he lies in the lab. and just like ford, hes neglecting and isolating the people in his life who actually care about him and have his best interests in mind.

bill is hurt. he hurts ford with his love for him. ford hurts fiddleford. fiddleford hurts his family.

hurt people hurt people, and i think alex hirsch is a genius and did a fantastic job of portraying just how toxic situations play out.

[ampblamp]

AU: Here's How Billford Can Still Win

(part 1: make that triangle miserable)

tl;dr: i want bill to have his ability to live in denial about what he did shattered by several important figures from his past BEFORE he can enact weirdmageddon. this way the yaoi can be messy and toxic (at first) but NOT doomed. it's self indulgent for sure but i'm doin my best to keep it IC as i can 🫡

this first post is just me figuring out how i think things would have to go down on bill's end for billford to have any chance of working out. take my hand. come away with me to my autism world

i'm still figuring out all the details of what would have to change to like. weaken bill's mental defenses enough because he HAS been able to shove his guilt down for so long. i do think everything with ford would be one of the key factors cause he had never connected so much with any of his prior human partners and obviously things souring fucked him up enough to have a turbo breakdown. (i know it's also because of the amount of times the plan has failed but i think he's also feeling rejected by so many humans not liking him lolll)

i think his breakdown after getting wasted at o'sadley's would happen like in canon, save for its repercussions. once bill starts thinking about his mom and everyone else from euclydia around when he's about to be arrested, maybe it would open the door for thoughts of them to keep slipping through his defenses. and suddenly thinking about weirdmageddon and hearing himself and other people talking about it could have a chance of triggering him.

i know personally that trauma can jump in and completely drag you back in time regardless of any logic, and i think him having that kind of episode sooner might be the key to getting him to face that he doesn't want to keep repeating what he did to euclydia because it's never going to be enough to convince the small, small voice in his head saying 'stop'.

because that's just the thing. bill has forced himself down a path of destruction to Prove to himself that its actually for the best to tear down "miserable reality" and replace it with his own vision. his drive and impatience to get weirdmageddon going is BECAUSE he wants to permanently cement that narrative in his mind with the ultimate "proof". because if the narrative fails, not only will he not be able to mentally cope (without help) he'll completely fail the henchmaniacs, who he promised a new home, and look vulnerable and weak, which he's TRAINED them to view as what should be destroyed.

i think the o'sadley breakdown and my proposed worsened repercussions of it would destabilize him, but it wouldn't be enough to stop him. what would push bill over the edge in this hypothetical would be several powerful entities from bill's past like the axolotl, the oracle, and time baby working together to somehow target his mental weak point. cause remember, time baby canonically KNOWS bill's weak point.

also like. To Me. the axolotl and the oracle are people bill was close to and has seen himself in at one point* but they matured and he didn't, and that's why he's SO hostile towards them.

*the oracle being an ex-henchmaniac is canon but i say this about the axolotl because of xolotl. look him up, it'll freak your bean.

alsooooo... ford not being as immature and vengeful as bill hoped he was is probably why bill broke down so hard - because it reminded him of the axolotl and the oracle. all the people who he actually connected with on a deeper level have left because of the same reason. but bill was always too terrified to confront everything he's done, which would be necessary to follow them.

so ends part 1... next, i think i'm gonna try to figure out how ford and bill would meet again (haha). ford is sucked into the portal right after (maybe even during?) the whole o'sadley's deal iirc sooo... fun point in the timeline to play with!

also hopin to draw stuff for this AU in the future :]c calling upon the power of my newly aquired ADHD meds lmao

Gravity Falls fanfic I’m too lazy to write

Bill Cipher has been in the Theraprism a LONG time. It’s a good thing the Theraprism is in the neutral zone, outside of time because – if clocks worked there – he would have been there for 42 lifetimes of the universe.

It’s been slow work but Bill has made some progress. He’s at a point where he’s confronted the horrible things he’s done. He’s no longer living in denial and hiding behind a cheery façade. Unfortunately, he’s now deep in self-loathing and he’s been there for a long time, unable to move forward and grow.

Then the unthinkable happens. Something happens to the Theraprism and Bill takes his chance. He ends up back in our universe.

Half dead, glitchy and weak, Bill starts traveling backwards through his own timeline. Everywhere and when he finds himself, he desperately trying to change how things turned out and thwart his past self’s plans.

Bill arrives the day before ‘Dipper and Mabel vs. the Future’ and enters Mabel’s dream.

“Mable! Tomorrow you’re going to have a really bad day. I know you don’t want summer to end but when the Time Traveller turns up and offers you more time, don’t give him anything!

It’s a trap. I’ll be… he’ll be…

Look I’m from the future and past me possessed him. Just ask him to take off his goggles so you can see his eyes.”

He jumps further back. Dipper has been trying to guess the password to the laptop for two days and he’s getting nowhere. Bill’s past self is going offer to give Dipper a ‘clue’ in a few days time but current Bill gets there first.

“Dipper! Don’t scream! Everything’s fine! … or it will be. Just shut up and listen! This is important!

The password is ‘Stanford’ and the laptop was made by McGucket. The Journals were written by your Grunkle Ford. He fell through a portal 30 years ago and your Grunkle Stan’s been secretly trying trying to get him back ever since. He’s going to succeed.

Don’t ever make a deal with me. I can’t be trusted and the price is always too high.”

Bill jumps back again and again and again. The thing is, he’s been chased. Time Baby wants the Time Anomaly Removal Crew to catch him because his actions are causing new timelines to splinter off from what Time Baby sees as the ‘canon’ one. Bill’s old guards/therapists want to catch him and drag him back to the Theraprism for more treatment.

However, the worst danger Bill is in, is from his past self. He’s traveling back down his own timeline after all and his past self is always nearby.

Past Bill hates what he sees as a pathetic, broken version of himself. If he ever catches himself, first he’ll find out what happened to make a future version of himself turn out this way so he can avoid making the same mistakes. Then, he’ll kill this miserable excuse of a Bill Cipher. There’s only room for one of them and past Bill is going to make sure he comes out on top.

Current Bill never actually planned any of this out. He’s doing the best he can. If he has any sort of aim, it’s to make it back to before he killed his home universe. Hurt and weaken as he is, Bill still thinks if he makes it back that far, he can probably kill his younger self. Either way, he doesn’t plan to ask the Axolotl for another chance this time around.

[anirritant]

like man the parallels between stan and bill are so so so so so fascinating to me ough...... the most obvious thing is that they speak so similarly, often using the same terms and i can't help but wonder how intentional it all was on the part of the writers. biggest one being "eenie meenie miney you" to me, it's so specific.

it could simply be bill picking up stan's mannerisms through ford's memories to further appeal to ford (is that canon somewhere? i don't actually know but i see it mentioned a lot) but some of these are things bill still says and does even when ford is absent. for a being that's lived for trillions of years would terms he picked up only a couple decades ago cement themselves in his behaviour so much?

(also, has anyone ever brought up dreamscaperers' deleted scenes where bill summons a paddleball in the mindscape? stan does the same thing in his own mindscape in the finale. again, that's so specific i can't help but wonder how intentional it was or if it was just a coincidence. i know deleted scenes might not be the best to point to as evidence but i think i've only ever seen someone allude to in one fic and nowhere else?)

i havent read tbob and haven't really kept up much with the new info from it but i have seen the poem about stan and gosh like. it really does seem like it's being consistently hinted at over and over that there's something there with specifically bill and stan. the axolotl's poem was already eyebrow raising with how much of it could be applied to stan and now there's even more..

[firesofdainix]

Relativity Falls AU time

This won't be a one on one counterpart for the entirety of Gravity Falls. Since we're not doing this one on one, we're changing contents of some episodes!

Here's the swapped characters:

Ford = Mabel

Stan = Dipper

Shermie is a fusion of both twins

Pacifica = Bill

Wendy = Fiddleford

Euclid and Scalene = Preston and Priscilla

Axolotl = Smile Dip Dog

Shanklin = Waddles

Soos = Abuelita (her name's Maria, or 'Ria' for short)

Bud and Mrs. Gleeful= Gideon

And now, context!

Mason is the Pines brothers' grandpa, who had a falling out with his son Filbrick before the events of the show. The fight is unknown (but will be revealed later on) but Filbrick cuts off all contact- until he and Sherman began butting heads, teenage rebellion and all, so Filbrick asks his dad to 'set Shermie straight.' What happened was the best summers Shermie has, and annually he goes to Gravity Falls to be with his grandpa.

Much to the family's obliviousness, Shermie has been helping Mason cover up any supernatural things happening within the town, while also using the tourist trap known as the mystery shack to give tourists and other townsfolk the benefit of the doubt. Because of this, Shermie has few to several run-ins with the Society of the Blind Eye but disagrees with their methods of keeping the townsfolk safe from Gravity Falls' weirdness.

Mason trusts his oldest grandson completely with working around the house and keeping the supernatural creatures distant from their family, but he hasn't told him anything about his sister or the portal inside the basement. He doesn't trust Shermie enough for this.

In Shermie's 18th year, his parents are finally in their divorce proceedings, and Caryn wants custody of his younger brothers. Since he's been admitted to college, he offers that he and his brothers stay in Gravity Falls with their grandpa Mason for a while, to which both parents accepted.

Shermie secretly keeps the fact that he was moving away from New Jersey to California for the college years for his university, something that WILL be found out by the twins. The twins assume that Shermie is going to be studying in a community college near them.

Stanley doesn't trust Grandpa Mason at first but starts warming up to him when he sees how much Shermie trusts him, and the way Ford is smiling to be with someone as weird as him.

Ford's main gripe with Mason is the fact that he makes a 'mockery' of weirdness, which is then soured by the fact that Gravity Falls is TRULY weird and Mason seems to think they're just 'special effects.' When he found the third scrapbook, he starts trying to find out about the author, and figuring out the many weird things in Gravity Falls, even adding more information in the scrapbooks provided.

Since Shermie is included in the twins' adventures (mostly- if he's not being a distant dumbass most of the time) some of the stuff will not stay the same if Shermie has anything to say about it. He just has a hard time trying to be like... a perfect role model for his brothers. He's not socially awkward, he just doesn't feel dedicated socializing with people. It's a lesson he learns at the end of the series, that being distant won't help him in the long run.

Mason and Mabel have a good relationship. Once Mabel is out of the portal, Mason takes it upon himself to resolve the rift that had formed between the two of them, and grow a stronger sibling bond. Meanwhile, Ford and Stan's bonds are starting to fracture. Stanley idolizes the bond they shared, promising that he and Ford will be like Mason and Mabel when they grow up, minus the portal thing.

Mason feels very guilty about pushing Mabel in the portal. Even if it was an accident, he still managed to rob Mabel 30 normal years. She's always wanted to get married, and Mabel tries to make him feel less guilty over it. He was just paranoid, mad and hurt Mabel was sending him away over again. She takes responsibility, wishing she could've been more direct and explained the situation better.

Wendy is Fiddleford, wherein Mabel asks her to help her with heavy work and heavy lifting, along with Candy and Grenda who were recruited to help with the portal project. She was the one who fell into the portal the testing day and found out about Pacifica's true plans. She tries to get Mabel to stop the project, but she only ended up convincing Candy and Grenda, who admit that ever since the portal project started, Mabel hasn't been feeling herself. Mabel wouldn't budge, so Wendy and her friends left, causing Mabel to be isolated socially.

Mason married a high school sweetheart after he left his house when Mabel was still upset with him over accidentally ruining her discovery that won the science fair. He stayed with her and decided to have a family, because that's what grown-ups do, right? Start a family and raise kids? And he wants to be better than his parents, no fighting with children and whatnot.

But happy endings don't last forever, he ends up being in the same cycle as his parents are, but at least the two of them fight privately unlike what his parents have done. But it was inevitable that they end up divorcing, and his wife won the custody battle with Filbrick. But that's mainly because he had been in Gravity Falls during the entire divorce trials, seemingly not caring about the divorce proceedings and his son.

Mason and Mabel reunited after ten years of no contact on the cusp of winter. Mason is incredibly stressed with the divorce proceedings, while Mabel is paranoid, sleep deprived, and afraid of Pacifica coming to get her, and Mason is eager to get this over with so Mabel can maybe vouch for him in the divorce proceedings so he can gain custody of Filbrick. But then he sees Mabel look so broken and shattered, he stops his motivations, tries to calm her down, but it leads to the portal incident. Or accident! Mason tries to hold onto her, but Mabel still fell, and now he has lost both families in one day.

When he realized he lost the custody battle, he relocates to Gravity Falls fully, becoming some sort of monster hunter and tourist guide respectively, and to work on the portal. He introduced everyone as Mabel's brother, saying she entrusted him to take care of her house while she navigates the Arctic. Then, he fabricates Mabel's death, stating she is forever lost at sea after her shipping vessel exploded, so now Mason has the rights to the shack. Of course, when he is found by Mabel's old friends, his memories of the unknown were almost erased, since the trio ended up making a cult.

Candy is the new leader of the Society of the Blind Eye, however, because of her close ties to the author and Wendy remembering her old friend even a little bit, the twins are a lot more lenient with erasing almost the entirety of her memories. She does face the consequences of her actions about running a cult, though.

That's all I have for the characters as of this moment! As I said before, not everything is gonna be a one-on-one counterpart! Everyone is unique in their own ways!

Here's a few episodes that might be altered thanks to Shermie's involvement (idk some stuff yet ok):

Tourist Trapped: Dipper and Shermie immediately figure out that Stan's new girlfriend Darlene is a spider monster and ushers her out there. Stan becomes rebellious and rendezvouses with Darlene, causing her to reveal her true nature. Ford thinks she's a fairy about to kidnap Stanley to make him her queen.

Society of the Blind Eye: He's going to punch Blind Ivan, RIGHT IN THE FACE-

Lee, Ford, and Shermie vs. the Future: Instead of Mabel asking Ford to be his apprentice, Ford asks Mabel if she is willing to mentor him. When she asks if his brothers would be fine with that, he says so, and she says she'll think about it. When he returns, he finds out that Stan heard the conversation, and Shermie immediately begins to scold Ford for thinking about himself. The ensuing argument forces Shermie to reveal that, since he's going to California for college, the twins should stick together. This makes the Stans feel betrayed, that their only possible role model is now going away from them 'forever.' Stanley runs away, and Ford and Shermie try looking for him.

Some episodes may be different or have a different monster of the week! I want Ford and Stan and Shermie's adventures to not be identical to the Pines twins!

[arcane-rush]

I thought of a new Gravity falls Au. (I have like 15, I'll probably share them all on here) Also this is gonna be really long. (By the way anyone has full permission to draw this if they want, I don't mind).

But the new one is, because everyone names their au's, what I'm going to call the Adoption au/Emotional support au (I can't decide on a name, so it's going to be referred to as both till I decide). It's pretty much if Bill, after he accidentally destroyed his home dimension, was adopted by the Axolotl. I assume he'd still be pretty young when he destroyed his home dimension, so the Axolotl adopted him when he was a child. He would grow up in an actual loving environment, so he's not that bad. He's still a mischievous little bastard, but he's not as cruel. He's an annoyance to pretty much everyone, has practically no friends, and is just generally shitty. He's not evil, just frustrating and annoying. He still wants the portal, but he wants it to explore Earth (and annoy the shit out of even more people). The Axolotl, despite being his parental figure, and a god, isn't intervening because they know Bill will get better on his own eventually, and it's best for them to stay out of it.

And then there's Ford. How went through the exact same shit he did in the cannon, but he became anxious and has PTSD from the shit his dad put him through instead of being egotistical. He takes a long time to warm up to someone, and Stan betraying him/ being kicked out really just made it worse. So when he met Bill, he was shy as fuck and it took about two years or so for him to fully trust him. But he immediately agrees to the portal, because he's a curious little guy. When he does trust him, he opens up about his past and Bill gets pissed off. His birth parents were amazing and he misses them a lot, and the Axolotl is an amazing parental figure (he's just being a rebellious little shit right now). In his mind, because he's not a psychopath and has common sense, parents should be supportive not abusive. He wants to kill Ford's parents, but he sees that would just make things worse so he doesn't.

And the portal incident went pretty much the same but for different reasons. Bill was being his little bastard self and went too far, and Ford saw it as him betraying him, cause of his trauma. Ford still went into the portal for 30 years, and didn't go to the oracle, but after 5 to 10 years he gave Bill another chance. Bill had been literally groveling and begging for forgiveness. So they spent the best 20-25 years bonding again, and fell in love, obviously. And Bill made up with the Axolotl and apologized to them. So when they got back, the problem wasn't that Bill was in gravity falls, it was that some guys from Bill's past were trying to get into Gravity Falls. Again, Bill was a little shit before Ford so they hate him.

When they got back, Ford apologized to Fiddleford, even though his life was not nearly as ruined in the cannon, and they made up. Dipper was so confused because the journal said Bill sucked, so he was surprised when he found out Bill was just going through a rebellious teen phase. After that, they get along great, Bill tells Dipper stories about his past and time with Ford, and Dipper listens and writes all down. Mabel absolutely loves spending time with Bill and being little chaos gremlins together. The second Bill shows Mabel his human form, Mabel gives him a makeover. Stan and Ford make up immediately, cause they actually communicate with each other. Stan doesn't like Bill that much at first, mostly because he married Ford without him knowing. Also because he read the journals and saw that Ford seemed really hurt by Bill's "betrayal". But then he warms up to him and they commit tax evasion together, and stuff. He constantly gives Bill shit for almost fumbling Ford though. He will never let Bill forget it.

They're a pretty happy family together, and the twins end up asking their parents to stay in Gravity Falls, and they were completely fine with it cause that made custody better. On the one condition that they write to them at least once a month, and they agree. And just to make it cannon compliant, sometime during the show, Dipper and Mabel died, but Bill prays to the Axolotl to resurrect them, and they come back to life. Their appearances are a bit different, Dipper's birthmark turned pastel pink, and Mabel's had hot pink ombre at the tips of her hair. (Cause the Axolotl is pink, and so are they now)

That's all I have so far. If you want to draw this, make fics about it, or send me suggestions for fics / short writings / sketches you want me to write about this au, works, you have my full permission.

[samalvsinpanic]

Improve/ billford oneshot

Another little one shot about Billford, just in case there are any doubts, Bill always suffers and almost never receives comfort, maybe I'll do one where the triangle is happy, but not in this one!

Again I remind you that English is not my first language, sorry if there is any mistake.

I don't know if I want to get better. Those were the last words Bill Cipher said to the doctor before going back to his room, although for him it was more like a prison. It had been exactly three years since he was in that place, since the axolotl heard him and brought him back just to put him in this prison. The silly group therapies had been the first torture, although he was rewarded with his craft hour, which was temporarily suspended when they discovered he made his book and sent him straight to the Pines twins. But the real torture came in the form of solitary therapy, where it was just him and the damn doctor who kept insisting on getting answers. At first he enjoyed annoying the woman, telling her false anecdotes to laugh at the end of them and reveal that they were lies. Over time it became monotonous, every Wednesday the woman would wait for him in that even more horrible brown room, at his stupid desk and sit Bill on the stupid chair, just listening to whatever nonsense he said, but one day she broke the silent agreement where they both pretended that there was actually therapy. She mentioned his parents, somehow she saw the hundreds of drawings that adorned his room/cell and mentioned them, he remembered the look on her face when she simply said to him: "You still miss them a lot don't you?" She wasn't allowed to name them, he went crazy when that woman dared to mention his mother, the guards had to force him out of the place, from that day on the doctor was determined to expose Bill's insides. The day the name Stanford Pines came out of his mouth Bill cried, he really cried, he couldn't remember the last time he had cried, but there he was, crying in front of that woman while she reminded him that the man wouldn't love him again if he didn't start to recognize his mistakes, if he didn't improve. The following Wednesday was when he revealed his secret to that woman, he didn't know if he wanted to improve, what was the point? He didn't have anyone waiting for him when he left, not one of his supposed friends had visited him, not to mention Ford. If he improved, what could he get out of that? A way out of that place, and then what? There was nothing else for him, he didn't even want to try to unleash chaos again, maybe he had already changed a little without realizing it, did that mean that the only thing that kept driving him to live was to create chaos? If he didn't have that anymore, he had no reason to continue living. Bill looked at the ceiling of his room while he reflected on this, maybe that was the best thing, to die. He looked at the fake stars that shone above his eye, connecting the constellations remembering better times, when Ford did it with him, the axolotl once told him that if he managed to improve maybe he would let him be human, to come back with him. Ford had been his home for a while, how foolish he was not to realize it before, he had destroyed both of his homes, all for wanting to show them the stars, maybe he didn't deserve a second chance after all, but at least he would like to see the real stars again with Ford by his side one last time. Maybe he did want to improve.

"Hello, Fiddleford Hardon McGucket."

"I am The Axolotl,"

"I can see.. yes..."

"You have a wife and kid, they miss you very,"

"But you left for a friend, That is very clear."

"Be wary, though, of the beast of one eye,"

"Of the beast with three sides only,"

"Do not close your eyes,"

"They must stay alert, if you wish for the best."

Okay but i adore the way the website continues Bill and Stan parallels but finally leads them out of conspiracy theory territory.

I love the fact that Bill got attached to Ford because Ford essentially represents all the best parts of himself. He's smart, self-sufficient. He's incredibly talented at so many things. And he's trusting, which made Bill feel a genuine connection

But then Stan is everything Bill hates about himself, everything he's trying to run from and hide behind his delusion of grandeur. The fact that Axolotl's poem can be so closely related to Stan is proof of it. But unlike Bill, Stan is a genuine , loving person. He finds a place in life not through spite or hatred, but through love of his family and it drives Bill mad.

I love the website so much.

only other post for today

i keep thinking about ford that comes back through the portal wrong, but in the sense that he accidentally destroyed the axolotl and is now The Multiverse

he can completely wipe people out of existence if he wants (but he doesn't, cause. why would he. bill's already dead at this point, so he has no reason to ever go that far). this is a very big deal for him- what if he accidentally erases stan? or mabel or dipper? or fiddleford? or anyone really? he is not a fan of the idea of this happening, so he tries his best to focus on smaller changes to his environment

mabel says she wants yarn or a specific stuffed animal? bam, she's got it in her arms. dipper wants to chase after a highly dangerous anomaly? bam, every instance of that anomaly is completely docile towards him and, just in case, ford's gonna go with him so he can make sure no other anomalies ambush him while they're studying the now harmless creatures they set out to find

he also uses this to mess with stan (ford knows stan gets annoyed at worse and, thus, is safe to do this with. he made sure his brother was well aware of all that he could do beforehand)

for example, a situation where ford is explaining why different species have different blood colors and how that works etc. etc. and stan asks if clear blood is a thing. ford pauses before going 'now it is'. stan has no idea what he means until he accidentally nicks himself on a taxidermy project later that day and discovers that his blood is transparent. ford chuckles and turns it back (plus heals the wound cause hey that wasn't meant to be part of the joke so it doesn't get to stay), no harm done (except gaining stan's ire for the rest of the day)

when he asks stan to sail, stan asks him if he's going to conjure up a boat. ford says no, and that he's actually hoping to keep the reality warping to a minimum, since he wants the trip to be as authentic as possible. stan agrees to get their hands on a boat the normal way, and ford reserves the bending of space-time for serious wounds and illnesses

(stan asks him to help fix an issue with the stanleymobile once. ford tells him there's nothing he can do. stan argues back that 'you can wipe entire dimensions out of existence, but you can't fix a car?'. ford tells him he doesn't know anything about cars, so yeah. stan's completely right about that.)

that's all the thoughts i have on that for now (and for the entire rest of today and maybe tomorrow and maybe the day after tomorrow too. of course, i'll have to do the next round of the tourny pretty soon, but that shouldn't be an issue, i think. i can just post everything and then nope out as soon as i'm done)

ayyyy, mart is back with another set of questions ‘funny guy’ (copyin my jokes with ‘dos questions/dos answers’ GET YOUR OWN PAL, youre just as bad as ford with jokes that sound like they came out of a joke book >:D)

i know that you’re not particularly *fond* of the axolotl, but you’ve been in plenty of sessions with them regardless! if you’ve gained ANY wisdom or any kind of insight, what do you think that is? (also what’s the cringe worthiest thing that they’ve uttered…i know they gotta have at least ONE-)

back to the aether i go, and thanks for the new peeps to follow for AUs that’s cool of you

Well, first of all I know that I'm funny.

Secondly, I know everything that happens in the universe, EVERYTHING.

So I normally don't gain any, how you want to call it "wisdom" from the Axolotl.

And about the "cringe" things it says in our weekly talk session.

Here are my top three :)

(I also chose three because triangles have three sides, hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha)

- "Cipher, i already told you, you need to stop setting the other group therapy members on fire."

(An all time favourite)

- "I know that you don't like the talk about your feelings day, Cipher, but that doesn't give you the right to curse at the others."

(I still do it!)

- "I think it would be best to send you to the group therapy circle, Cipher. It would help with the problem that you have with Stanley Pines."

(Worst day of my life!)
