How do you picture Dipcifica happening in Reverse Falls?

Got so excited about this question spent all my free time today making all this

I think it’d be funny if in reverse fashion, instead of hatred to begrudging partnership to liking each other the way Dipcifica kind of does in canon, in rev!falls they IMMEDIATELY get along. Which maybe just an excuse for me to just do cute stuff for them but I think it’s funny so!

Dipper sees her in the crowd, immediately clocks that she must be new since this town doesn’t have anyone or anything new or interesting about it except for them (the twins, the Pines family, etc.) and after some plot relevant things, there’s a begrudging and slowly growing friendship between the Pines and Pacifica and Gideon.

But specifically towards Dipper and Pacifica, Dipper is a prick. But beneath that he’s also still the Dipper we know, albeit grown up differently. Still nerdy, curious about weird anomalies of the world but a little more somber and edgy about it. Completely nerdy about magic—not real magic like their amulets let him do, but sleight of hand magic tricks real magicians learn. Pacifica, completely unphased by some of the most bizarre shit that could happen because in this universe Florida is the weirdness magnet area, she’s more impressed about his sleight of hand tricks, his knowledge on obscure history and science and nerdy pop culture facts, and thinks it’s funny and cute he’s so high maintenance. They get along well, and as intimidating as he can get (which is surprising bc in the main au he is still 12, then again he’s also a murderer?) she’s meeting all his remarks with her own brand of blunt ass and teasing, since yknow it’s still Dipcifica, just a different flavor. And while she may say silly things, he actually takes her seriously too, which makes them feel like there’s some equality in their relationship which is why they get along so well almost right off the bat!

Too bad in the reverse!falls equivalent of Northwest Mansion Mystery, Pacifica finds out Dipper (and Mabel) have been lying to her throughout the whole summer and made her think she did something when in fact it was orchestrated by the twins in the first place to manipulate and blackmail her. I don’t wanna spend too much on it since I haven’t fully thought much of it but basically Dipper has to double down that he’ll do ANYTHING for his family, which means throwing her under the bus. And he doubles down saying that everything they shared in the summer, their friendship leading to more type of relationship, was all just lies to use her because she was the best way they could find William Cipher (listen, about the name, i am not creative ok).

Of course we know that’s not the full truth, yes the Pines family are willing to do anything for each other, but it doesn’t mean Dipper didn’t genuinely love and appreciate the friendship/relationship he had with Pacifica, and even to some extent Gideon too. It’s kind of his flaw that he’ll do some heinous shit and justify it as something he does for the people he loves, but now he’s starting to love someone else that is directly an opposition to something that’s for the family he loves so much and…..well…..

Anyways, it’s ok bc the rev!falls equivalent for Not What He Seems comes after, there is a tentative sort of truce between them? Maybe? But Dipper will have to spend most of the rest of that summer (and probably the next couple of years) on his knees begging for forgiveness cause yeeesh. It’s ok, Mabel’s down there with him too. Gideon actually forgives a lot more easily towards the twins but Pacifica…..that’s gonna be a while.

But yeah sorry that took a long time to get back to, but hopefully to compensate here’s some pics of what I’m talking about with them. Feel free to ask more about them I’m kind of getting really back into Reverse Falls lol

Oscar and Emerald Pallete swap?

After a long wait, here’s the Emerald City Siblings

Swap Spreadsheet

How do you think Connie parents reacted when years later down the line, Steven tried proposing to Connie when they were teens?

You mean, like, they learn about the proposal years later? I'm sure Connie explained everything to her mom as soon as after the time they left Steven with Greg. I could see Doug knowing about it as well. Her parents would be displeased with the incident, I'd imagine. Him facing personal problems or not, this kid seriously attempting to get your 15 years old to marry him would not be funny news to hear. But they would be proud of Connie for turning him down.

If you mean them remembering it years later, they'll probably be laughing about it. He failed the proposal and he got better so it's dismissible. Steven would be cringing to being reminded though.

So how do you interpret Willow reaction to Hunter taste in fashion? Does she not realize that the fashion is bad or when it comes to Hunter, everything just looks good on him to her?

oh she is irredeemable, she finds his awful fashion charming and cute

*Lilly casually taking out all the shoes in her book nag as she searches for something*

Azura: Why do you carry around so many extra shoes?

Lilly: It's a family thing.

Meanwhile Azura pulls something out of her pocket and confetti falls out.

Lily: Do you always have confetti on you or…?

Azura: It’s a family thing.

Thoughts on Amber and Mark relationship in S2? Not only am I loving it, but a rewatch of S1 made me realize that folks were wrong about Amber being a bad character.

It still baffles me that people hated Amber so much? She's a teenager. She's doing teen things. Teenagers are stupid, and when confronted with the knowledge that her boyfriend had most definitely been lying to her for months she got mad instead of recognizing why he might be doing it. It's not abnormal for teens.

That said it's really nice to see them working on a healthier, more honest basis! I'm excited to see them go to college together, and go on happy dates, etc.

NGL, I low-key ship Alicia x Sonic now 🤣

It's an... interesting ship to say the least! 😆 Too bad Sonic isn't into the sadistic types. Not that Alicia cares anyway.

Well now you got me curious: what’s this vampire AU and how does it start?

👀

The Kingdom Hearts Wayfinder vampire AU started between @luxmoogle and @pedanticat that inspired the former to start making art for it. It further expanded some ideas from lux's followers when they sent asks and whatnot to their page.

Nothing is canon, just some fun ideas like vampire!Aqua, vampirehunter!Terra, familiar!Ventus, werewolf!Vanitas, and vampire!Eraqus. Lux didn't have plans to add anyone other than the Birth by Sleep gang, so I refer to it was 'Wayfinder vampire AU' most of the time since it doesn't have any official nicknames or whatever.

The fics I've written inspired by the vampire AU are definitely not 'canon' either. Far from it. I've done them for fun and out of inspiration from lux's wonderful artwork. It helped create that spark of 'time for Sabrina to destroy this!' that attacks me when a Disney property (or adjacent like fanfiction) itches just the right spot.

Still less cringe than adding Miss Wabi-Sabi to Count Mickey Dragul back in the day. But I am free.

Imagine Stevatya chaperoning Grom XD

behold this wip that I never finished! This was supposed to be a companion piece with some gustholomule art (grom dates and grom chaperones) but I abandoned it for some reason. You can't really make it out but the fabric of Steve's jacket was supposed to be covered in his name lol

[jacquesthepigeon]

God, how on earth do you make a story whete you have main character be an aspiring fashion designer and not have her become an apprentice to her love interest father who is both her fashion hero but also her alter ego arch nemesis? Like come on!

Subverting expectations by making a show that started out fine into shit

[fromshadowstosun]

Okay, I know you've already drawn the proposal idea, but I thought of a very cute version of it. Perhaps a drawing of Sun proposing but it with him giving Blake a book, but when she opens it, she see's its hollowed out with a ring placed inside.

That would be so cute and I'm so sorry I never got around to drawing this but it was too cute not to share in light of blacksun week being last week.

Thoughts on Inside Out 2 if you've seen it?

Haven't seen it.

I've got a major case of sequel fatigue.

Thought the first Inside Out was ok, but didn't like it enough to watch is more than once. The premise just wasn't my thing.

I also just have lost interest in animated media in general with mass firing going on every year and underpaid/overworked staff.

I am excited for Arcane s2 though.

Are you still taking art requests?

Requests have already closed.

12, 17 and 24 for Vector and Vanilla

12) Who gets up the earliest? Who has the worst sleep schedule? Who is the sleepiest

I think they both get up around the same time. Vanilla used to be the type to be up and ready to go by 4 or 5am but since Gemerl's around and Cream's a little older she's been trying to learn how to sleep in a bit longer. Now she gets up at very late 6:30am. maybe sometimes 7. She still goes to bed around 9pm to 10pm, very clockwork.

Vector on the other hand also gets up early to help out with Charmy, the kids & work, but he has a bad habit of staying up too late, gotta crack that case, gotta listen to that album one more time, gotta beat Espio's high score in Fruit Ninja. A victim of trying to cram in too much in one day.

All it would take is a "Vector, come to bed" though and I think he would get back on track.

17) What does a relaxing night in look like for them?

"The kids are asleep, you know what that means.."

"Time for games that only adults can play..."

*Pulls out familiar rectangle box* "SCRABBLE!"

Just enjoying each other's company over coffee, dessert & board/ card games probably. Vanilla's an undefeated champion in boggle.

24) What are their favorite places to kiss on their partner(s)? What are their favorite types of kisses?

Vector: "A-A gentleman doesn't kiss and tell you know."

Vanilla: *flatly* "The neck."

*Perci hangs up the phone with his parents after perfectly imitating Lilly with Azura looking Stunned*

Azura: How did you do that?

Perci: Precise muscle control. It's a talent that I learned from my Uncle Sprig and Aunt Polly. (Imitates Azura) Plus I have a good ear.

Azura:.....Don't do that again.

An actor is never appreciated in their time. I’d assume also that Percy only did that to cover for Lily and she owes him something big time.

Thoughts on Spike x Gabby?

Had to look up who that is. No thoughts, sorry.
