feeling a bit strange abt the fact i went to a market in my hometown on the weekend and afterwards saw an old schoolmate i once had a crush on posted an insta story from a spot i was standing at for a while on the same evening... the oddness of knowing we might've passed them and not noticed

[anthophilafalls]

I see so many posts on the secrets in The Book of Bill but why is the beautiful relationship between woodpecker guy and Tad Strange not more popular on this website??? Don’t deny a love this pure and true people!!!!!

Things I Can't Stop Thinking About Since the Gravity Falls Renaissance; An Overly Long Compilation

• It's mostly a joke-y cartoon thing but holy shit Dipper wakes up screaming kind of a lot??? How long has he been doing that for?? How long will he *be* doing it for??

• Stan had to basically teach himself advanced physics and complex multidimensional theories. He had the advantage of the portal mostly being built and having a bunch of the notes post-Bill, but still!! He had to learn how to operate the damn thing! I highly doubt Ford wrote about the portal in the same accessible manner he wrote about cryptids, especially as he spiraled into paranoia. The machinations of the portal weren't meant to be shared with the layperson, it just wouldn't be practical information for most people to have.

(also notable that he went through the whole process of learning how to operate the portal not only through pages and pages of dense code, but with the background of a 1970s highschool education and literally nothing else that would be relevant. Ford works really hard, but this is also stuff that comes to him very naturally. Designing a functioning portal wasn't the hard part. The hard part was getting the idea for the portal in the first place and knowing what to do with it. This shit is so ridiculously advanced and Stan is not an academic mind by any means. No wonder it took 30 years, he had to keep up a fake life and fund his project while grinding away at advanced quantum physics interdimensional whatever science wizard nonsense. I think about those 30 years a lot.)

• It doesn't really get addressed, but I think about Wendy being "super stressed out, like, all the time!" A lot. God, can you imagine living in the same house as Manly Dan? Let alone being the only girl there? Especially depending on when their mom left/died, she probably felt incredibly alone for a lot of her teen years. And given the Apocalypse Training it doesn't seem like Manly Dan is the most stable parent either.

• Stan, Ford, and Wendy could probably bond over having shitty holidays (and subsequently being forced into having awesome holidays when Mabel found out.) Filbrick took Stan and Ford to get free cinder block samples for Hanukkah, and the Corduroys did apocalypse training every year instead of Christmas.

• Pacifica still hears the voice of the Lumberjack ghost in her nightmares, but it's implied on the website that the Lumberfolk spirits have actually declared her under their protection since the events of Northwest Mansion Mystery. That means one of two things: that the ghost in her dreams is just her own guilt-ridden brain, or that the ghost has been appearing in her dreams to try and help her. I think about both options frequently.

• Stan struggles a lot of the time with physical activity, but that's mostly to do with age. He's actually really goddamn strong (beating down the zombies, punching a pterodactyl in the face, grabbing Ford and hoisting him up off the ground no problem, scaling scaffolding and holding the twins up by a rope one-handed). This makes the fact that Wendy beat him in an arm wrestling contest three times in a row way funnier.

• The way the Stans were almost definitely completely willing to beat a random guys ass so that Waddles could get on that bus. Stanford "Your math is no match for my gun you idiot!" Pines implicitly threatened to shoot a stranger with a Weird Sci-Fi Firearm for his great-niece. Stanley is even more direct. There is no confusing what brass knuckles will to to you. I also absolutely believe that they were not bluffing. One of them would've stolen the bus if the guy had mysteriously fallen unconscious due to unforseen circumstances.

• According to Soos, Tad Strange is crushing hard on Woodpecker Guy. Is this general town knowledge? Does everybody know that the Woodpecker marriage is on the rocks? How does one divorce a woodpecker? Alternatively, how does one get divorced *by* a woodpecker? Does Tad have a chance? Is this a small town scandal? Mr. Hirsch inquiring minds want to know. Has Toby Determined written a gossip column on this drama yet. Get your head in the game, Toby

Someone passes you the Say Fuck Gun, but you can only shoot a singular resident of Gravity Falls with it. Choose wisely.

(Reblog and explain your pick in the notes :D)

[fluentisonus]

jonathan strange & mr norrell 10k word post canon fic following the titular characters as they repeatedly burn water trying to figure out how to cook or do laundry for themselves

[oatmealdaydreams]

Glad y'all are enjoying my silly little headcanons. Here's more!

-----

At some point, Ford & Stan reconnect with Shermie and it gets kinda messy with the fact that STAN is the one who faked his death and impersonated Ford for 30 yrs

Hearing about some vague implications of the trauma Stan went through during those 10 yrs on the streets has Ford's Protective Older Bro instincts go haywire (no exceptions)

Mabel & Dipper's parents finally meeting the real Stanford & Stanley as Stanley is a little bit awkward to say the least

Dipper has patches on their hat, made and sewn on by Mabel

Mabel still has Waddles at home during the school year & her parents have to deal with a little oinker in the middle of the divorce proceedings

Dipper finally makes their own friend who doesn't belittle them! An introvert win!!

Ford & Stan visit their Ma's grave one day with Shermie and tell her that both her boys are together again and doing relatively okay (and maybe that gives Caryn's ghost peace)

Dipper and Ford frequently play campaigns of DDMD together, sometimes with Soos or Wendy or a reluctant Stan

Stan secretly enjoys DDMD a little bit more than he lets on. this secret dies with him

Mabel makes a LOT of scrapbooks, especially ones that are titled "Stan Edition" to help him out with his memory issues and memory relapses

Turns out Tad Strange is very good with Sales & Advertising, so Soos hires him on to advertise the Mystery Shack (Stan approves)

Stan genuinely respects Tad's business skills & the two find common ground in salesman-related things

Someone makes an implicit transphobic comment about Dipper using they/them & Mabel fucking DECKS the offender (Stan is proud. Mabel is suspended for a few days)

One of the biggest adjustments for Stan during sailing with Ford was the fact that Ford was just as much a criminal as he is (*cough cough* wanted interdimensional criminal *cough cough*)

Ford seeing a bit of Stan in Wendy & not knowing how to feel about that

Wendy and Soos become pretty close as friends outside of work

The next summer that the twins visit, Dipper re-introduces themself to Wendy + Friends with they/them pronouns & they're all pretty chill about it

Robbie "I only wear black and bleeding hearts" Valentino discovers BABBA. this may or may not end with him bonding with Dipper over it. not that he'd admit to it

TAD STRANGE IS CRUSHING ON THE WOODPECKER GUY???????

Kwak Dong Yeon's ability to play poor little meow meow's should be studied. My god that mans dedication to being sad and pathetic is elite.
