[surelysilly]

uhhh he's a menace

[sunkist-scientist]

there's not enough funky cartoon aus for games like portal or halo

[cescalr]

u kno how everyone has their own version of Reverse Falls?? well i have one of those lol but rn what im saying is: my version of the au where the pines twins swap places (grunkles for mystery,,,, u kno,,, i think its called Gravity Rises? Anti-Gravity??? I can’t remember damn) yeah i have little bits of dialogue written,,,, if only i could draw... anyway all under the read more:

[[the scene where Mabel cheats off of Dipper in class; prev the scene where Stan cheats off Ford. Flashback to convo;]]

Dipper: Look. All you need is decent grades in math, right? Just copy off me. 'S not like the teachers pay attention during exams, anyway.

Mabel: I dunno, Dipper...

Dipper: Come on. We need scolarships. Our parents can't afford two full rides to college.

Mabel: It feels kinda... fraud-y, though.

Dipper: Think about it this way, hey - those rich kids pay their way past exams to a full ride, this is no more unfair than that. Just levelling the playing field. They're cheating at life - you're just opening up opportunities.

Mabel: True...

Dipper: Anyway. Nobody gets left behind, right?

Mabel: Haha. Yeah. Who's to say I won't leave /you/ behind? [punches his arm, with a smile.]

Dipper: Hah. Very funny.

Mabel: Thanks, bro-bro. Awkward sibling hug?

Dipper: Awkward sibling hug.

[hug]

Both: Pat-pat.

[[Big argument! Replaces the ford accuses Stan of breaking his machine. The conversation with the headmaster [uhhh, principal? in america?? i dunno im sorry] of the school is done w/ Dipper replacing Stan and Mabel replacing Ford bc I Like To Make Things Interesting!]]

Mabel: Come on, Dipper! I mean. Just - what kind of money is in /paranormal investigation/, anyway?

Dipper: What kind of money is in sculpting?

Mabel: That's not fair.

Dipper: Neither is you repeating our parents' talking points, but here we are. It's not about the money, Mabel.

Mabel: Well if it's not, then what's the point of you being on the opposite kind of the country to me?

Dipper: What's the point of you being on the opposite side of the country to /me/? Oh, that's right. You got a full ride anywhere you'd like, and there I am, trouble-maker, crazy-guy extraordinaire with the weird interests and stuipd belief in the supernatural. There was only one film school that'd take me, Mabel. You're the one who locked yourself into California.

Mabel: Why didn't you /tell/ me?

Dipper: I didn't think you'd want me around that much. What have I ever done, except pull down your stupid reputation?

Mabel: You can't still be on that. You know I don't-

Dipper: Still didn't say anything, though did you?

Mabel: That's not fair at all, Dipper.

Dipper: You never say anything. And here I am, always defending you. Maybe I felt we needed some space, huh? Maybe you give off the aura of wanting space. I'm not fun to be around.

Mabel: I didn't mean that. I just meant - you can get... kind of into a headspace I can't follow. I'm not - I don't believe in all your -

Dipper: Dumb conspiracies?

Mabel: Yes! Dipper, just - there's nothing down that road. You know that. You'll be -

Dipper: A laughingstock? Been there. Used to it.

Mabel: It doesn't have to be like that. You're really, really smart-

Dipper: So the only thing I can want to do is science?

Mabel: No, that's not it at all -

Dipper: He's a punk, he's headed nowhere, 'Mabel's a good girl, a real talent, smart and artistic... Dipper has the brain for a good life, but not the mindset. There's Fantartstic Academy, it's in California, so it's not too far from home, but it's on the other side of the state, a good distance away - I think it'd be good for your daughter to get independence, to find friends and a life outside of the trouble her brother brings. Mabel could have a real good go of it -'

Mabel: Stop it! Dipper, you know I don't believe-

Dipper: But you do! You always have!

Mabel: Just because you're /anxious/ doesn't mean you're right! We're okay! You're just paranoid!

Dipper: That's not fair.

Mabel: Oh, so now /I'm/ the unfair one? I get it. Things are only unfair when it affects /you/.

[pause]

Mabel: Why d'you have to do this?

Dipper: I - I have to prove that I'm right, Mabel. I have to. This stuff exists, I know it does, I've just got to find it.

Mabel: And, what? You're going to prove something people have been trying to figure out for centuries? Dipper. How can you tell me to get out of dreamworld when that's where you're staying?

Dipper: Screw you.

Mabel: Screw /you/.

As for other stuff;

Mabel makes the portal! It takes Dipper 30 years to activate it after she’s pushed in bc her instructions are Terrible. Partly because she didn’t understand much of it. Bill painted the whole thing as like, a monument of the arts or w/ever im still figuring that one out 

Dipper takes Grunkle Stan’s place as the person they’re sent to visit. He’s been pretending Mabel’s been in various foreign countries for years @ this point. Uses either magic/tech to create voicemails for the family, has her be bubbly but distant, w/ promises to visit that she never keeps, which. you know he feels bad about but he needs to make people think she’s alive

Dipper had a ghost hunting TV show! For like three years, then went off the air bc of low ratings. Apparently real ghosts scare people! And kill them. Who knew. Also everyone thought the special effects were bad. Whoops. Anyway he runs a tourist attraction out of Mabel’s old ‘nature living art lodge’. It makes a good haunted house during high traffic at halloween/Summerween. The entrance to the basement is in his office, which used to be one of Mabel’s art studios. Dipper took all the bill art down because he pays attention to warnings written in blood. 

Im swapping all ages here, so Dipper is good friends with Pacifica and Wendy. Gideon is ... a threat. Lee, Nate and Thompson are still in town. Tambry and Robbie are not. 

Soos is 8, Fiddleford is 13, Stan and Ford are 12. Etc. 

Because of how we’re swapping this, some people’s parents might have to become their children. I’m not a fan of that, but we’ll see. Filbrick Pines was the youngest sibling of Mabel and (Mason) Dipper. He’s not well liked by the family. And he doesn’t like his own family all that much, hence the distance between them. He likes his kids even less, though, so Gravity Falls they go! I hate that guy. 

Ma Pines may or may not come with them? Hmm.

[aicrushesallbanks]

Your portal au is so cool :0000 of course, do whatever makes you happy but I’m all for it 💙

o7 the only reason i want so much feedback is bc i want to see how many people are interested.... seeing as as its an askblog its not much without audience participation u kno?

DLFKGJDFG LITERALLY 

magnus, hyperfixating on portals at 3 am: alec alec alec what if i [insert magical science gobbleygook here, like, idk, reversing the polarity of the neutron flow] 

alec, trying to sleep: hmgg?

YES. i love talking about magnus and stimming tbh generally he tries to keep it to tiny things--playing with his ear cuff, rubbing his fingers, fiddling with his rings, small and barely noticeable gestures, but he has some more obvious stims that he suppresses 

but like the first time alec witnesses him so happy he kinda flaps his hands like rapidly moving them back and forth and whole body Practically Vibrating hes all big dopey grin and magnus might get a little embarrassed but alecs just like i love my husband so much 😍

YOUNG MAGNUS BANE LEARNING POTIONS AND MAGIC AND BIENG A BIG NERD young magnus just after asmodeous, after the silent brothers, exploring himself, maybe even letting himself stim (as neither of the beforementioned likely were okay with it) and studying hard not to please his father (studying darker magicks and combat hexes and shit) to studying just what interests him, and exploring and learning new things (like that vibe of going from high school--must study what they give you in a rigid unforgiving structured manner--to college, which, while not perfect, can be a place where you’re allowed to take classes on things that really interest you, and you can read articles on new things in the library... yes im projecting WHAT ABOUT IT) 

so like smol much younger magnus spending hours in the library because what is time? time does not pass here. silly. and smaller magnus before hes learned more control and perfected suppressing everything like..... he is a lil ball of sunshine he talks fast and a Lot when he gets excited (im picturing him as kind of a quiet teenager--dont ask me why teenager or if that timeline works, but i would like to say we dont talk enough about teen magnus--until you initiate conversation and then suddenly he’s so obviously a sunny lil dork) and like he flaps his hands excitedly before quickly pulling them in tight like remembering he’s not supposed to :(

magnus doing that fantasia thing where his magic is just doing ten things at once like the laundry is doing itself, two different notebooks are being written in by pens all by themselves it seems, he’s idly texting while half watching a tv show, except he is like doing all of those, even if it looks like the pens are moving on their own he is actively writing both in his head rn u kno

ultra multi tasker magnus

of course some days his focus is shot to hell and he’s either doing it all badly or constantly the pens stop writing as he focuses too hard on the movie he’s watching then he realizes, does them again, only to realize the movie is over and he has no idea what happened

VERBAL STIMMING. magnus singing little songs to himself as he does things, or getting a song stuck in his head but not the whole song just one line that he feels compelled to repeat over and over, 

t i m e  b l i n d n e s s . two funny things: one magnus not realizing time is passing and as an immortal this can be Problematic(TM) (pointedly does not think of that potc au from years ago) and two magnus having no fucking idea when something happened like all those posts yall are making like “haha alec remember when we went to that one restaurant with the really good tacos? we should go there again” “magnus that place closed ten years ago” “hm” 

Adhd magnus hcs!! Magnus saying unusual unexpected words outta nowhere Magnus knocking things around in his apocathery because he can't still (we saw that in the show, when Magnus was trying to distract himself from... Stuff) Idk if this fits But blease spare some adhd magnus hcs blease

LKFJGDFG magnus remembering the word he was trying to say like two days ago: *suddenly sits up* EPITHET 

alec, asleep: ,,wha’s that babe?

but god yeah 

magnus stimming even with little things like fluttery hands when he’s excited or nervous

reorganizing his desk or his shelves like a dozen times in a row when he’s feeling restless

fidgeting and moving things around a lot when he’s not thinking about and he’s in like a private place he feels safe in--he’s gotten a lot better over the year controlling his mannerisms and talking with his hands less and stimming either very discreetly or not at all, and like biting back infodumps and such and playing it cool bc he HAS to be “together” and he can’t be seen as weak or foolish, he has to be Powerful and Badass and he can’t very well win peoples respect if he’s rambling like a nerd about the stabilizing properties of demon scales in potions or whatever (which isn’t necessarily true, but like, you get it, you gotta play the Cool Leader and sometimes that means not seeming like a person who can be vulnerable and have silly interests you know what i mean?)

trying to distract himself by rereading favorite books but getting so bored or unfocused he ends up reading a few chapters of one than moving to a different one and so on

trying to listen to the audio notes of a fellow researcher but he is Unable To Focus until eventually he ends up doing a puzzle while he listens but he still misses things and has to rewind it occasionally

wearing things that he can stim with subtly or just have good sensory feels

verbal stim where he’s just mumbling a really nice/word phrase under his breath or humming and swaying as he does, or singing little made-up songs as he does things

time blindness must be so much worse when you’re immortal
