Hey SM-33 what the ACTUAL FUCK WAS THAT DAWG

Lingerie For Beginners

Summary: Pero wants to give his new lady a present, but he's not exactly at home in the underwear store.

Requested by @suttonspuds

Rating: Mature 18+ONLY Warnings: Pero Tovar x OFC, the images are just for aesthetics, female character is not described beyond being a B-cup, no overt sexual themes but plenty of mentions of breasts and overall mature content. Word Count: 1200

   His hands are already clammy with nervous sweat as he walks into the store, certain he’s about to embarrass himself, but also determined to leave with what he hopes will be an outfit exactly as the one he pictures in his head.    Calling it that might be an overstatement, however, as he stops and looks around a few feet into the establishment, seeing nothing concealing enough to be referred to as a complete outfit.    Lots of it looks fun, though. While some of it looks downright scary.

   “Can I help you, sir?” a silky voice says to his right, and he looks over to find a middle-aged woman, wearing a polka dot dress in 60’s style with matching makeup and hat, all of which somehow suits her perfectly.

   “Yes, well…” he tries, but the words die on his tongue when he realizes he doesn’t quite know how to describe what he wants.

   “First time in a lingerie store?” the woman guesses, and there’s no judgement or even curiosity in her voice, which sets him at ease.

   He nods while feeling his shoulders relax somewhat, and she smiles in response.

   “Alright, no problem. My name is Wendy, now let me just work out what we’re dealing with here.    Are you looking for something for a new relationship or something to spice up an older one?”

   “New. Three months.”

   “Aw, congratulations,” she offers sincerely. “That means it’s not an anniversary, though. Birthday?”

   “No. She has been feeling down lately, because of her job. It makes her feel ugly sometimes,” he tries to explain, and she immediately gets it.

   “So, you wanna remind her that’s not how she looks to you, and maybe help boost her self-image a bit?”

   “Yes, exactly this.”

   “Honey, that’s precisely what sexy lingerie is supposed to be about. You’ve got the right idea, now let’s see if we can find a good fit for you, and for her, of course.    I assume you have her sizes?”

   “Uh… I know she has a B-cup,” he offers, feeling stupid for not remembering to check more than that, but in fairness, he’s never done this before.

   “Don’t worry, I’m sure we can figure it out. Can you show me by hand-measurement how wide her back or hips are?”

   This he knows without hesitation, because he loves to watch her when she struts around naked or just in her underwear in the apartment. And she’s been trapped beneath him both from the front and the back many times, so he knows her size compared to him very well.    Using his hands, he gives the saleswoman as accurate a representation as he can, and she leads him off down the aisles.

   “Okay, first off: which color did you have in mind?”

   “She looks especially good in white. And I like the lace that you can just almost see through,” he admits, feeling a bit vulnerable revealing his preferences to someone he isn’t intimately involved with.

   “And what about style? What type of bra do you think would best show off her bust?”

   This question he feels genuinely unwilling to answer, simply because discussing his woman’s private parts with a complete stranger seems utterly indecent.    She’s come to a stop in one of the aisles and is perusing a variety of white bra’s, some with lace, others with silk, but she pauses when she notices him turning away and displaying general discomfort.

   “I’m sorry, I know this can feel somewhat invasive. I’m just trying to help you visualize so that you can get the perfect set for your woman, and for yourself.”

   “I understand this, I just… don’t feel good about describing her in such detail.”

   “Well, maybe you don’t have to,” she suggests, and then picks out a cute little bra, holding it up to his scrutiny. “For example, this is a balconette. See how the cups form a straight line when they’re filled? It usually gives the breasts a bit of a bounce and rounds them off really nicely.    Whereas this one is called a plunge, because the triangular shape of the cup means that you don’t conceal any skin between the breasts.    And then there’s the cage-bra, which is really sexy with different kinds of straps, either over the breasts, shoulders, or across the back.”

   As she describes them, she holds each of them up and demonstrates their features, then she emphasizes that each of the different styles come in all sorts of fabrics, so there’s no limit to which one he can pick, if he wants lace.    But all this does, is confusing him even more. He really has no idea what his date might look best in. Hell, he didn’t even know there were so many different types of bras.

   “I don’t like the cage one,” he finally manages to work out. “Too complicated.”

   “Good, now we’re getting somewhere.”

   “Which would you recommend?” he asks then, conceding that he is talking to an expert on the matter and might as well trust her judgement better than his own ignorance.

   “Hmmm… Having only a basic sense of your girl’s body-type, I think I would go for the balconette. It generally makes any bosom look good, provided it’s a good quality piece.    And actually, come to think of it, we have a gorgeous lace version, with a satin/lace hipster panty to go with it.    Let me get it for you, and see what you think.”

   She darts off before he’s had a chance to respond, so he stands there awkwardly while he waits for her to return, idly looking at some of the choices available in the nearest aisles, some of which he can’t even work out how a person’s supposed to get into.    But he also spots something interesting. A teddy made almost entirely from glass crystals, strung together into the shape of a bra which connects to a tiny pair of panties, only the crotch of which is made of fabric, but still see-through lace.    It’s not at all what he thought he might be drawn to, but he can almost see how good it would look on the body he most desires, and he just can’t take his eyes off it.

   “That one’s not as expensive as it looks,” Wendy promptly informs him when she sees where his gaze has gotten stuck.

   “Really?” he hears himself ask before he manages to reel in his racing thoughts. “Uh, but it’s not what I was looking for. It is nice, though.”

   “Maybe next time,” she suggests, and he shrugs, so she proceeds to show him the piece she’s gotten for him.

   “Oh… this is perfect,” he whispers, not sure how his bumbling efforts of explanations enabled her to find exactly what he’d envisioned.

   “Excellent! I had a feeling you’d like it. But just so you know, if you keep the receipt, you can exchange it if your girl doesn’t like it.”

   He pays for the gift while she wraps it for him, in what has to be the most beautiful package he’s ever seen, and before he leaves, he throws one last glance at the crystal teddy, glinting at him from the back half of the store.

   “Next time. Definitely.”

THE END

Seeing that reblog exchange on my dash was like that gif from Community of Troy walking into a room with pizza to find it on fire. Like... where do you even begin with that?

Anyways, as ever I am of the firm opinion that it is Tumblr, it is fandom, have whatever blog name you want, like any characters you want, and anyone who decides to be weird about it can suck it up 💙 Sir/Madam/Gentlethem, this is a Wendy's.

This one right XD.

Yeah uh I really don’t know how things spiraled so quickly from random accusation about BlackSun shippers to accusing me of like condoning murder and stuff I’m not sure how that leap in logic happened and I’m so sorry you came into the insanity.

There is another post in the RWDE tag that’s more nonsense and I just. I don’t even know what’s happening today it’s been a weird day that’s for sure.

Lolz but seriously like I don’t care what you like or don’t like or whatever but like don’t harass people that’s not okay.

Hey hi everyone.

So, today at work, someone came in and asked if he could give us a cat, because the animal shelter wouldn't take her.

To which my reply was, "Uh, sir, this is a Wendy's sewing machine store."

I don't want to make this person look like a bad person, because I don't know if he is, so I'm going to be vague about the story he told me. Short version is this 14-year-old cat upset his wife and so he wanted to find her a new home.

I looked at the situation and thought that I could either take better care of her, or find her a better home for her, than he seemed to be willing to. So, now I have a cat. This is great, because I love cats, and she's a really good cat. However, now I have a 14-year-old cat with no known history, who moves like she needs some joint health looked at, and who needs to be given a clean bill of health before she's allowed to co-mingle with my other three cats. This means I now have a financial requirement.

I can budget to where I can take care of an older cat with chronic health needs. I don't have the money to just take her to the vet right now. I have some credit card debt I can run up and some favors to call, but if I can get even a little help, it'd mean a whole lot in terms of me not having to figure out where I'm going to get the money to put gas in my car.

The person who left her with us did not give us any of her medical history or even her name. As a perk, I will reach out to the person who donates the most to the Gofundme, and I will ask them if they would like to name her. No promises that we'll actually call her that, but we'll put it on file at the vet as her official name.

[drinkingwithkhonshu]

I was going through the mcu timeline wiki to get a better idea of the events for Promises Kept and apparently Marc became Khonshu’s avatar on 02/14/2015????? He was his avatar for ten years????? (Bc Moon Knight is listed on Disney+ after Hawkeye in 2025 around April-July based on the museum exhibit, implied April bc Steven’s talking to Donna about the posters like it’s all new so that means Wendy died in February?? Right??? Bc Marc said that happened two months prior to him leaving Layla and moving to London?? God why is the MK timeline so confusing)

God this would ruin my whole fic if it weren’t for the fact that I’m flipping canon the bird and going ‘nuh-uh’. We’re going hardcore canon noncompliant in this bitch, full fanon mode

I thought Marc was his avatar for like five years at most

If I kept that it would make Ru fricken two and a half at that point bc his birthday is 07/03/2012. Ugh why is canon always so complicated and why do I always do this to myself

…Ru would be fifteen during the events of Moon Knight without tweaking the fic’s rough timeline at all oh god

Oh no we’re not doing this, the baby is not growing up that quick nuh-uh no sir nope not doing it

[melodygatesauthor]

Gravity Falls - The Matchmabel - Chapter VII

Chapter VII: Date Night

“So while I was out with Ford and Wendy, you were setting me up on a blind date?”

Dipper and Mabel sat in the golf cart, bouncing along as they headed down the road into town. Dipper had been half-forced to change into a nice shirt and jacket, and was now fidgeting at his collar as they headed towards Greasy’s.

“Of course!” replied Mabel. “That’s the best kind of date! Love is blind, after all.”

“Look, Mabel, I’m flattered, but I’ve really gotta get back to my college application,” said Dipper. “Besides, whoever this is, I’m not sure I really want to date them, you know?”

Mabel shot him a knowing grin. “Don’t be so sure!”

They pulled into the Diner parking lot. Mabel checked her phone - 5.55. Perfect.

“Alright!” she said. “Let’s get you set up!”

“Set up?” Dipper quizzed.

Mabel ran around the cart and yanked him out of the passenger seat.

“You’ve gotta nail this, Dipper!” she exclaimed. “Your future is at stake!”

“I-is it?”

Mabel opened the door, revealing a decidedly dolled up Greasy’s Diner. Gone were the usual tables and chairs - they’d been cleared off for a single table, set up with a white tablecloth and a vase full of wild flowers in the middle. The number of forks provided for each of the two chairs was, to put it mildly, excessive. The ceiling and walls were decorated with pink bunting, and the entire other half of the diner was set up as a large dancefloor, with a big stereo set sitting next to it.

“Geez,” said Dipper, taking a seat. “Who’re you trying to set me up with here?”

He took a seat and picked up one of the napkins, turning it over.

“Oh god.”

Sewn onto the other side of the napkin were the words ‘Dipper heart Pacifica.’

“Mabel,” said Dipper, adjusting his collar. “We need to talk about this…”

“Can’t hear you, Dipper, gotta head out!” Mabel marched out the door. “Bye-eee!”

Dipper sat in silence for a few moments - the only sound being a soft, tinny eighties love song playing on the diner’s speaker system. After a few seconds, he shifted on his seat, looking for the fire exit - he might have a moment to get out of here before…

The door opened.

Pacifica stepped inside - she was wearing a pink dress and heels, and carried a small handbag over her shoulder. Her face fell the instant she saw Dipper.

“Oh,” she said. “It’s you.”

“Yyyyep,” replied Dipper, letting the last letter pop.

Pacifica sat down across from him - she picked up the napkin and winced.

“This is… a lot,” she said flatly.

“Honestly I thought it was gonna be Grenda,” Dipper shrugged. “She’s the only one of Mabel’s friends she hasn’t tried to set me up with.”

He scratched his chin.

“But she is with Marius, so… um… who did you think you’d be dating?”

There was a long, awkward silence.

“Sooooo…” Dipper rapped his fingers on the table.

“Hmm…” Pacifica stared at the wall. “Yeah…”

“How’s… being rich?” asked Dipper.

“It’s good,” replied Pacifica. “It’s… it’s good.”

“Cool, cool,” Dipper nodded.

“Good evening, sir and/or madam!”

Stan slipped into view, carrying a couple of glasses of water.

“Would sir and his very rich date like some water?” he asked, grinning a little bit too wide.

“What’re you doing here, Grunkle Stan?” Dipper asked flatly.

“What? Can’t your old Grunkle moonlight as a waiter?” demanded Stan. “You offend me!”

“How much did she offer you?” asked Dipper.

“Twenty bucks.”

“I’ll give you a hundred if you don’t talk to me for the rest of the night,” said Pacifica, producing the note from her bag.

“Done and done, and I mean done!”

Stan put down the glasses and walked off.

Another very long awkward silence ensued.

“So,” asked Pacifica. “How’s being… uh… poor?”

“Well, I, uh, don’t have much money,” replied Dipper. “So that’s… that’s a thing that I, uh, have to deal with.”

“Very unfortunate.”

“Yeah.”

Before long, Stan came back - in each hand he held a bowl of soup, which he laid out in front of the two patrons. Dipper frowned as he looked at his bowl.

“I think you forgot to heat this up,” said Dipper.

“It’s gazpacho,” said Pacifica, “It’s…”

“Could you maybe put it in the microwave or something?”

Stan gazed down at the bowl.

“Yeah,” he replied, picking it up. “I’ll, uh, I’ll get onto that…”

He took the bowl away.

“Thank you!” Dipper called back.

He turned back to see Pacifica pinching the bridge of her nose.

“What? It was cold.”

-----

“He wants it heated up?” asked Soos.

“Yep,” replied Stan.

“Does he know it’s meant to be served cold?”

“Nope.”

“Does Pacifica know it’s meant to be served cold?”

“Yep.”

Abuelita tsked and shook her head from the other side of the kitchen.

“This date is over,” she said sadly.

“It can’t be that bad, can it?” asked Soos.

“Careers have been ended over this, Soos,” replied Abuelita.

Soos and Stan exchanged glances.

“Maybe we should call Mabel,” suggested Soos.

“No, no, the enchiladas are gonna save this one,” replied Stan. “I’m sure of it!”

“They’ll have to be powerful enchiladas,” mused Soos.

Abeulita walked over and put a hand on his shoulder.

“They will be.”

-----

Dipper put down his knife and one of his forks.

“Well, those were powerful enchiladas,” he said.

Pacifica dabbed her mouth with her napkin.

“Yeah,” she replied. “I’ve actually never had anything like this. Mom says it’s bad for my figure.”

“Yeah, parents say stuff like that,” Dipper sighed. “It’s because they care…”

“Do they though?”

Pacifica twirled her fork around her empty bowl of rice.

“I mean, they say they want what’s best for you,” she mused. “But is it actually what’s best for them? Like, they have this picture of what you should be in their mind, and they’re so focused on it that they can’t see the real you?”

Dipper looked down at his empty plate.

“I guess,” he replied. “But they still want you to be successful, right? So you can be happy?”

Pacifica frowned.

“You really think your parents want that?”

“Well… yeah.” Dipped shrugged.

Pacifica sighed.

“Then you’re pretty lucky, Dipper,” she replied. “You’re…”

The lights suddenly shut off, and both their eyes turned to the dance floor. Disco lights were swirling around, and the opening instrumental to a song played loudly. There was a prominent flute.

“Alright!” They heard Candy somewhere in the darkness. “Give it up for the main couple as they have their first dance!”

A bright spotlight switched on, shining on both of them as the song began.

Every night in a dream,

I see you, I hear you,

I know you will continue…

…less

Dipper and Pacifica gazed at each other - Dipper was visibly cringing.

“Uh…” Pacifica rubbed the back of her head.

And the distance between us,

He came to see…

Near, far, everywhere,

I believe that the heart rules.

But open the door again,

And you are in my heart,

My heart is going…

“Yeeeeaaaaah.” Dipper swallowed, his eyes darting around to avoid looking Pacifica in the eye again. “This is… a lot.”

“Mmm… hm, yeah.” Pacifica gazed down at her empty plates, her face turning bright red.

Love can only touch us once,

And it lasts a lifetime.

We won't leave until we leave…

“Yeah,” said Pacifica, standing up. “On that note…”

-----

About fifteen minutes later, Mabel stood outside the door of Greasy’s Diner, half the town gathered around her. She was just about bouncing in excitement - she had promised the whole assembly that ‘Gravity Falls’ Sweetest Couple’ would be emerging from the Diner any second now, and she couldn’t wait for the moment to finally happen. She’d managed to whip excitement in the crowd, too - there was an old lady who’d proclaimed she’d die of sadness if she didn’t see a happy couple tonight (and that one doctor who always followed her around had confirmed that this would happen.)

The doorknob turned. Mabel’s grin widened. This was it!

The door opened.

The crowd erupted in cheers as the happy couple emerged. Mabel did not join them.

“Oh, uh, thanks dudes!”

Soos and Melody, blushing somewhat, bowed to the crowd.

“Aw yeah, I’ve always shipped them two,” said Deputy Durland.

“Heh! They’re delightful!” added Sheriff Blubs.

“Well, that was fun!” declared Tyler. “Same time next week?”

The crowd dispersed, leaving Mabel alone, jaw dropped, as Stan, Candy and Grenda followed Soos and Melody out.

“Wh-what is this?” demanded Mabel. “Where’s Dipper and Pacifica?”

The group exchanged glances.

“They went home,” replied Grenda.

“But… but… you let them out?” exclaimed Mabel.

Candy shook her head solemnly.

“It wasn’t working,” she replied sadly.

“It was really awkward,” added Melody.

“Soos’ grandma was right,” said Stan. “It was over the moment he asked for the gazpacho soup heated up.”

“But… they have chemistry!” Mabel paced back and forth, clutching her head. “They’re compatible! They like each other! They-they even called the ghost hunting thing tomorrow a date! They… I…”

Soos shrugged.

“I think they’re just friends, dude.”

Mabel hobbled over to the side of the parking lot, sitting down on the curb and rubbing her head.

“I… I put in all this effort, though,” she said. “W-we all did.”

Melody sat down beside her.

“Sometimes these things don’t work out, Mabel,” she replied.

“But… I really, really wanted it to be Pacifica.” Mabel’s voice wobbled.

Melody put an arm over her shoulder.

“I know, Mabel,” she replied soothingly. “I know…”

“No!” Mabel stood up, jogging to the golf cart. “Dipper doesn’t know what he’s throwing away! I need to talk sense into him!”

She jumped into the driver’s seat and sped off, leaving skid marks on the car park behind.

-----

Dipper sighed as he trudged towards the back of the Mystery Shack. He’d found this shortcut through the woods a while ago, and it really saved time in getting back from town. It hadn’t been a particularly good evening, he thought (although the enchiladas were incredible), and he really needed to get back to his application, but he supposed it could have been worse.

He emerged from the trees at the back of the Shack, and stopped as he noticed a large pit behind the building - and not the Bottomless Pit, that was over to the left somewhere. This one was filled with ashes - had Stan been burning profit ledgers again?

He stepped closer, and noticed what looked like the charred remains of a chunk of cardboard at the bottom of the pit. Next to it, slightly buffeted by the wind, was a small scrap of… was it paper? Dipper jumped down and picked it up.

In the dim moonlight, he could see the remains of a burned photograph. All that remained was just under half of a picture of Wendy Corduroy.

Finished a fanfic of Httyd x Gravity Falls. Let me know what you think. Please be nice, it's my first time ever writing a story.

While hunting for a treasure that could help defeat Bill Cipher, should he ever come back, Dipper and Ford come across another portal, not man made but naturally formed. "It's not possible," Ford says in amazement, then gets closer to the portal to inspect it. "Uh Uncle Ford I don't think that's a good idea," Dipper says as Ford inspects the portal carefully. "Relax Dipper it should be fine, it seems this portal is dormant anyways," Ford replies with a chuckle. Suddenly as he said those words the portal activates and pulls both of them in. Dipper and Stanford Pines land in a new dimension and are knocked out cold. Two shadows, one a human wearing a fur coat, the other a large beast, approach them. The human takes the two back to his village to be cared for, setting both of them down on beds.

Meanwhile in Gravity Falls, a small earthquake causes the statue of Bill Cipher to crack, Mabel and Grunkle Stan are in the Mystery Shack and barely feel the small earthquake, Grunkle Stan is counting money while Mabel is playing with Waddles on the floor. "Hey pumpkin, do you know where your brother is? I got some more customers coming in and I need a new attraction quickly," says Grunkle Stan. "No Grunkle Stan I haven't seen him since he went exploring with Ford," says Mabel. "I don't like this, they've been gone pretty much all day, maybe we should look for them," says Stan. The two then close the Shack for the day to see what happened to Dipper and Ford.

Back in the new dimension Dipper and Ford wake up to the sound of heavy breathing, as they sit up they see a large black dragon with a red tail. "Whoa, I always knew dragons existed, but I never saw one before," says Ford. “What do you mean by ‘dragon’ Uncle Ford?” Dipper asks before turning around and seeing the dragon for himself, causing him to fall off the bed startled. Just then the stranger that saved them comes back into the house with a bucket of fish. "Oh you're finally awake, I hope Toothless didn't startle you," says the mysterious figure. "He didn't startle me, I've just never seen a dragon before, he did startle my nephew though, but he should get used to it" says Ford. "So what brings you both here my mysterious friend?" the stranger asks. Ford replies “You’ll find this hard to believe but we came through a portal from another dimension, that's the simple way of putting it.” The stranger pauses upon hearing this as if he's heard it before from someone else. “Excuse me sir but may I ask your name?” Dipper asks. “Oh I'm sorry, I guess I should've introduced myself sooner. My name is Hiccup Haddock the Third.” Hiccup then points to Toothless, “And this is Toothless, the king of dragons.” Toothless growls playfully as he's introduced to the newcomers, “I assume you're the Chief of the Tribe then, Hiccup?” Ford asks, seeming rather bothered by the fact that they came from another dimension and it didn't faze Hiccup in the slightest. Normally people would ask how that's possible but something seems different with Hiccup, as if he's seen it before. “Yes, anything you need will be brought to you if you need it, make yourselves at home and tomorrow we'll see if you can handle some dragon training.” Hiccup says hoping you'll take him up on his offer. “That sounds amazing,” Dipper says excitedly.

In Gravity Falls, Mabel and Grunkle Stan, growing increasingly worried about Dipper and Ford's prolonged absence, decide to investigate, with the help of Wendy and Soos, what might've happened to Dipper and Ford, they look for them for hours and are just about to give up when Mabel spots Dipper's backpack lying on the ground next to the portal. “What could’ve happened to them?”, Mabel asks as she turns towards Stan. Stan sighs and replies “I don't know Mabel but maybe this has something to do with it.” Stan points to the portal. As Mabel looks through Dipper’s bag she stumbles upon a mysterious journal page hidden in the journal, hinting at the existence of other dimensions. A few miles away the Bill Cipher statue starts to hum and cracks even more, releasing a faint laughter.

As Mabel examines the cryptic journal page, she notices strange symbols and a mention of a connection between the portals in Gravity Falls and Berk. “Hey Grunkle Stan, what do these symbols mean?” Mabel asks. Stan grabs the paper and takes off his eyepatch “Well I don't know what any of this means, we’ll have to ask someone who actually knows this stuff.” Realizing the gravity of the situation, Stan says “Someone like Fiddleford McGucket.” They turn to Fiddleford McGucket, who, despite his eccentricity, has unparalleled expertise in dimensional anomalies.

Upon explaining the situation, Fiddleford's eyes widen with a mix of concern and fascination as he looks at the paper. “Well this is interesting, and you say you found another portal?” McGucket asks. “Yes we found it in the woods and we think Ford and Dipper might've been taken to another dimension,” Mabel replies. McGucket rummages through his own collection of peculiar research and reveals that he once encountered similar symbols during his experiments with other dimensions. Fiddleford suggests that the portal may be the key to locating Dipper and Ford. Together, Mabel, Stan, Wendy, Soos, and Fiddleford work tirelessly to decipher the journal page and understand the connection between the two dimensions. They realize that closing the portal in Gravity Falls is crucial not only for the safety of their town but also to reunite with Dipper and Ford.

In a twist of fate, the portal spontaneously activates, revealing glimpses of Berk. The group then decides to venture through the portal, armed with newfound knowledge and determination while McGucket stays behind to keep an eye on the portal. Little do they know, this journey will lead them to a convergence of worlds, where magic and science intertwine, and the fate of both dimensions hangs in the balance.

Dipper and Ford, eager to contribute to Berk's community, decide to become dragon riders. “Well I guess doing a little dragon training wouldn't hurt.” Under Hiccup's guidance, they don flight suits crafted with a blend of Gravity Falls ingenuity and Berkian craftsmanship. The suits incorporate new materials from the new dimension such as Gronkle Iron. Their first attempt at dragon riding is a mix of excitement and trepidation. With Hiccup's assistance, they choose their dragons from a diverse array of species. Dipper forms a connection with a swift and agile dragon with iridescent scales, a juvenile Deathsong, while Ford bonds with a wise and majestic dragon that emits an otherworldly aura, a Stormcutter. The training process is both challenging and exhilarating. Dipper and Ford learn to navigate the skies, practicing aerial maneuvers and bonding with their dragons on a deep level. The dragons, sensing the unique qualities of their riders, respond with unwavering loyalty.

As the sun sets over Berk, Dipper and Ford, now fully-fledged dragon riders, share a moment of triumph and camaraderie with Hiccup and the dragon riders. The skies above Berk resonate with the newfound harmony of technology, and the unbreakable bonds forged between humans and dragons. “Haha today was so much fun Chief Hiccup, I had a great time with my dragon,” Dippers says excitedly while holding a few fish over a fire, tossing a few to his dragon. “Yes I agree with my nephew on this matter, today was fun to say the least.” Ford replies with equal amounts of excitement. “Well I'm glad I could get you comfortable in our world, now I recommend you guys get some rest, I know I will be.” Hiccup says while yawning. Him and Toothless go home to rest leaving Dipper and his Uncle alone with their thoughts. “Look at this world, Dipper, it's beautiful, and we've learned so much from these people,” Ford says as he looks at the sky in wonder. “Yeah, I love this world so much already.” Dipper replies.

Suddenly Stan's voice comes from the bushes as he and the rest of the search party emerge covered in scratches and bruises, “WELL I DON'T LIKE THIS WORLD,” Stan then wraps Ford and Dipper in a hug and the others join in. “We thought we'd never find you Dipper,” Mabel says. “Yeah dude you just disappeared,” Wendy replies. As they're talking and hugging Dipper and Ford's dragons come to see what's going on, Stan, Wendy, Soos, and Mabel are taken aback by these large creatures. “Whoa what are those things, Dipper get away, Ford eh I couldn't care less.” Stan says. “No no it's fine, me and Ford trained them.” Dipper replies as he points to his Deathsong. “This is Amber,” Dipper then points to the Stormcutter, “And that is Styrmir,” Dipper tells them. The group then approaches the dragons, starting to feel a little safer. “So you mean to tell me that you trained these creatures?” Stan questions. “Yes Stanley, we could ask Hiccup if he'll help you train dragons too.” Ford replies. Stan's eyes grow wide as he realizes the business opportunity in trained dragons. “Well I… it doesn't sound like a bad idea after all.” Stan says. “Good then let's get you something to eat and rest, we have a big day tomorrow,” Ford tells them. They cook some more fish, eat, have a few laughs and rest for the night.

The next day comes with Hiccup landing next to the group to check on them making sure not to wake the two up. “Be quiet Hiccup,” Ford whispers. “I don't want to alarm you but more of our friends came to your world.” Hiccup, confused, looks over and sees that there are indeed four more individuals. “They'll have to get accustomed to our world and start their dragon training today.” Hiccup says. Ford nods and allows himself a few more minutes of rest before Hiccup wakes them from their slumber. “Ok people rise and shine, it's time for dragon training.”

Stan, Soos, Wendy and Mabel, still adjusting to the wonders of Berk, find themselves immersed in dragon training alongside Dipper, Ford and Hiccup. Mabel chose a Deadly Nadder, Soos chose a Gronkle, Wendy chose a Triple Stryke, and Stan chose a Monstrous Nightmare. The training sessions prove to be both exhilarating and challenging, pushing them to the limits of their abilities. As the days progress, the bond between Stan, Soos, Wendy, and Mabel and their dragons strengthens, echoing the deep connection shared by the inhabitants of Berk.

Meanwhile, in Gravity Falls, something strange seems to be happening as Fiddleford McGucket monitors the portal anxiously. The symbols on the mysterious journal page resonate with memories he thought he had left behind. Flashbacks of his own experiments and encounters with interdimensional anomalies flood his mind. Back in the forest the statue of Bill Cipher trembles and falls apart as the dream demon breaks free. Bill Cipher laughs evilly and looks around. “Oh Gravity Falls it is good to be back,” Bill says excitedly. Bill then flies up as he slowly regains his power. With a snap of his fingers Bill opens another gateway, summoning everything weird into the world of Gravity Falls. “Yes yes, time for some fun, time is dead and meaning has no meaning, WELCOME ONE AND ALL AGAIN TO WEIRDMAGEDDON.” A wave of energy surrounds the town as the weirdness starts to take over once more.

Back in Berk, Dipper, Ford, Stan, and the rest of the dragon riders have no clue of the impending danger. Most of the gang are gathered around a fire cooking some fish and warming their hands. “Oh my gosh I love my dragon, she's just so cute.” Mabel says as she pets her Deadly Nadder. “I think the Gronkle suits me, we're both big and clumsy but we get the job done.” Soos replies, feeding his dragon a few rocks. “What I'm surprised about is how Wendy managed to tame and train a Triple Stryke when it took me and Astrid forever to train the one we found two years ago.” Hiccup says in amazement. “Well it's all about showing dominance and respect, I respect him and he respects me. Ain't that right Stryker?” Wendy says as she scratches under her dragons chin causing it to purr. “Can't argue with that logic,” Hiccup replies with a chuckle.

Hiccup turns to Ford and Dipper and asks, “Have you guys seen Stanley anywhere? He's supposed to be back from patrol by now.” Hiccup's voice is full of worry as he asks this. “I'm sure he's fine, he probably just forgot where Berk is. He'll be back.” Ford says. Stanley then lands next to them covered in scratches and looking angry as he gets off his dragon. “You're darn right I'll be back, let me tell you something, I feed that dragon, train him and everything else good and how does he repay me? By launching me off a cliff, catching me and laughing.” The whole group laughs at this as well as some of the other dragons. “Reminds me of when Snotlout was a dragon rider, Hookfang used to mess with him all the time.” Hiccup says while laughing, he then puts a hand on Stanley's shoulder. “Stanley, he's just playful, so when he does it again, just think of it as him playing a harmless prank on you and laugh with your dragon, your dragon loves you as much as you love him. Remember that.” Hiccup says. Stanley then walks over to his dragon and pets him, “Sorry for getting mad at you Maestro, it won't happen again.” Stanley says as he calms down.

Stanley then sits down with the rest of the group, cooks fish, tosses some to his dragon and eats one for himself. “I'm starting to like this place, this world.” Stan says as he starts to feel happy for the first time in what seems like years, a statement that everyone agrees with him on.

Back in Gravity Falls, Bill Cipher is causing chaos around the town as McGucket frantically tries to hide the portal from Bill's watchful eye. “Come on fellers hurry and get on back, Gravity Falls needs y'all now more than ever,” McGucket says as he finishes hiding the portal, he then runs off to build something to combat Bill Cipher. McGucket then gathers the rest of the town to build a giant mech, using unicorn hair to make it weird proof thereby preventing Bill from using his weirdness against it and unable to take it down.

Back on Berk it's a new day and Soos, Mabel, Wendy and Stan are given flight suits by Hiccup, all of the suits resemble the dragons they all chose, Red and Orange for Stanley's Monstrous Nightmare, Blue and Yellow for Mabel's Deadly Nadder, Black and Red for Wendy's Triple Stryke and Brown for Soos's Gronkle. The group compliments Hiccup's work on the suits and thanking him before they don the flight suits themselves.

Magic and weirdness spreads across Gravity Falls and leaks into Berk causing little to no trouble at all, tiny things like spoons or plates go missing but it's just a minor inconvenience for those that inhabit Berk. As the gang sleeps though, Dipper starts to grow black scales, little nubs protrude from the back of his shoulders and the small of his back, as he groans and rolls onto his side, the wings grow from the nubs on his shoulders as well as a tail from the one on the small of his back, both appendages breaking through his clothes as they grow. The tail and wings grow larger to accommodate for his body weight. When all is done Dipper's tail curls around and his wings fold in allowing him to stay asleep not knowing he just became the first human and dragon hybrid.

The next morning Dipper wakes up first and walks over to Amber, his dragon seems to be startled by Dipper’s appearance but calms down once she gets Dipper's scent.”Why were you scared of me Amber?” Dipper asks as he grabs a few fish for Amber, tossing them into her mouth. Dipper's tail then thumps on the ground startling him as he looks at it, he then looks at his back to see his wings feeling fairly frightened yet curious. “Guys wake up, wake up,” Dipper yells waking everyone up. “Come on kid what could possibly be wrong?” Grunkle Stan asks as he wakes up feeling grumpy. “Yeah dude why'd you wake us up,” Wendy asks then looks at Dipper seeing the reason for his distress. “Oh my god dude how did that happen, guys he's part dragon,” Wendy exclaims. “WHAT? THAT'S SO COOL,” Mabel yells as she jumps up and runs to her brother. “Dipper, how did this happen? Oh my gosh Candy and Grenda are gonna be so jealous.” Dipper's tail and wings resemble that of Toothless and Ford takes notice of this. “I believe we should show this to Hiccup but for now I'll run some tests, Mable go find Hiccup and bring him here,” Ford says as he pulls out tools and devices to see what's happened to Dipper.

Mabel goes to Hiccup's house and explains what happened but Hiccup doesn't believe her as he leaves the house to see what's really going on. Meanwhile Ford is scanning Dipper's body. “It seems that Night Fury DNA has somehow gotten mixed with yours to make you a human dragon hybrid and it seems like it may in fact be permanent. Can you fire any form of projectile from your mouth by chance, Dipper?” Ford asks. Dipper responds by firing a plasma blast at a target from one hundred feet away. “I guess so, this is actually pretty cool Great Uncle Ford,” Dipper says excitedly. “Yeah, that's great Dipper, can you fly?” Ford asks seemingly not excited about Dipper's transformation. Dipper responds to this question by flying in circles around the group before landing on his face. “It might take some getting used to Great Uncle Ford,” Dipper says as he gets up on his feet. Hiccup and Mabel then land next to Ford. “I thought maybe Ruffnut and Tuffnut got to Mabel to pull a prank on me when she told me Dipper became part dragon, but now that I see it isn't some silly prank, how did this happen and why is he part Night fury?” Hiccup asks. “We don't know yet but for right now it seems like the weapon we need to fight Bill Cipher may not only be our dragons, but Dipper himself,” Ford explains.

As the group grapples with Dipper's newfound abilities, the gravity of the situation intensifies. Meanwhile, in Gravity Falls, the weirdness unleashed by Bill Cipher reaches unprecedented levels, challenging the resilience of the town's residents. Fiddleford McGucket, determined to protect his home, activates the makeshift weird-proof mech, hoping it will withstand the chaos.

Back in Berk, Hiccup, Ford, and the others contemplate the implications of Dipper's transformation. Hiccup, always fascinated by dragons, sees potential in Dipper's abilities. "We'll figure this out together, Dipper. Your unique skills might be exactly what we need," Hiccup reassures him.

As the group prepares for the challenges ahead, Dipper's hybrid nature becomes an unexpected asset during dragon training. His ability to communicate with dragons on a deeper level and understand their instincts proves invaluable. The dragons respond to Dipper's presence with heightened respect, forming a unique bond that transcends the ordinary rider-dragon connection.

As the clash between dimensions approaches, Dipper's transformation becomes a symbol of unity and adaptation. The gang learns to embrace their differences, realizing that the strength lies not only in their dragons but in the unique qualities each member brings to the fight against Bill Cipher.

The fate of both worlds hangs in the balance as the combined forces of Gravity Falls and Berk prepare for the ultimate showdown against the chaotic entity. The weirdness-proof mech in Gravity Falls stands as a last line of defense, while the dragon riders, led by Dipper and Hiccup, embark on a mission to confront Bill Cipher and restore balance to the dimensions. McGucket and the people he manages to save operate and make the new mech stand at attention. “Ok fellers, time for the fight of our lives, we just have to hold out until Dipper and the gang get back, I just hope the Shacktron 2.0 can hold out,” McGucket says. The mech with its occupants inside runs towards Bill Cipher's henchmen and fights them to the best of their efforts.

As the battle rages on in Gravity Falls McGucket and the residents fight fiercely to defend their town, relying on the weird-proof mech to withstand Bill Cipher's onslaught. The skies above the dimension echo with the clash of magic and technology as the fate of the world teeters on the brink.

As the gang on Berk prepares for a critical mission against Bill Cipher, a sudden disturbance rocks the ground beneath them. The dormant portal, connected to Gravity Falls, begins to flicker and hum with energy. Hiccup's eyes widen with realization. "That portal is activating on its own! We need to get back to Gravity Falls now!" he exclaims, urgency lacing his voice. The group, including Dipper, Ford, Stan, Mabel, Soos, Wendy, and their dragons, hastily gathers near the portal. With each passing second, the shimmering gateway becomes more unstable. "We can't waste any time. Everyone, mount your dragons!" Hiccup commands as he swiftly climbs onto Toothless. The others follow suit, each pairing up with their respective dragon.

The portal's glow intensifies, casting an otherworldly light on the group. As they take to the skies, soaring over the majestic landscape of Berk, the portal opens wider, its gravitational pull growing stronger. Dipper, flying alongside his dragon, feels the air rush past him as they speed toward the portal. The urgency in his eyes mirrors the collective determination of the group. They navigate through the portal's swirling energies, feeling the pull of Gravity Falls on the other side. The transition between dimensions is swift yet disorienting. The gang emerges on the other side, greeted by the familiar yet altered landscape of Gravity Falls. The portal closes behind them, sealing the connection between the two worlds.

In Gravity Falls, the weird-proof mech withstands Bill Cipher's attempts to break through, providing a temporary barrier against the relentless weirdness. McGucket's ingenious design holds the line as the town's residents fight with determination.

As the battle reaches its climax, Dipper, Mabel, Hiccup and the rest fly through the portal looking at their town in shock as they see it in ruins. “Oh my god the town,” Ford exclaims. “IS THAT MY SHACK?” Stanley yells. Bill Cipher's influence has wreaked havoc on the once-thriving town. The Shacktron 2.0 stands tall, battling Bill's henchmen as McGucket coordinates the defense efforts. Dipper, now a human-dragon hybrid, surveys the scene with determination. "We need to join the fight and help McGucket," he says. The gang, along with their dragons, engages in the battle against Bill Cipher's weirdness-infused minions. The combined forces of dragon riders and the weird-proof mech create a formidable alliance. Dipper's unique abilities prove crucial in navigating the chaotic battlefield, while the dragons unleash their powers alongside the mech's defenses.

As the epic confrontation unfolds, the gang faces challenges and sacrifices. Dipper learns to harness his newfound powers, and the bonds between dragons and their riders deepen in the face of adversity. Together, they strive to reclaim Gravity Falls from the clutches of Bill Cipher's weirdness. The battle reaches its climax as Dipper, with the support of his friends and dragons, confronts Bill Cipher directly. The outcome of this confrontation will determine the fate of both dimensions, and the resilience of the town and its inhabitants is put to the ultimate test.

Amidst the chaotic battle, a moment of vulnerability arises as Bill Cipher, reveling in the mayhem, targets Mabel with a powerful surge of weirdness. A burst of energy engulfs her, causing her and her dragon to cry out in pain and crash land.

Witnessing his sister in distress, Dipper's eyes flare with a mix of rage and determination. The air around him crackles with energy as his hybrid nature reacts to the threat against his family. In an instant, Dipper's eyes and back spikes glow blue.

Ignoring the chaos around him, Dipper charges towards Bill Cipher with an intensity that commands attention. Flames flicker in his eyes as he confronts the chaotic entity, unleashing a torrent of plasma blasts and using his newfound abilities to shield Mabel from further harm.

In this moment, Dipper taps into the depths of his hybrid power, becoming a force to be reckoned with. The air echoes with the clash of their confrontation as Dipper, fueled by a protective instinct, takes on Bill Cipher with an unprecedented ferocity. The battle escalates, revealing the true extent of Dipper's transformation and his unwavering determination to keep his sister safe. Dipper's hybrid powers prove to be a game-changer, as he unleashes powerful plasma blasts and uses his newfound dragon instincts to dodge Bill Cipher's attacks.

As the battle between Dipper and Bill Cipher reaches its climax, the town of Gravity Falls hangs in the balance. The Shacktron 2.0, dragon riders, and the weird-proof mech continue to hold their ground against the relentless onslaught of weirdness. Dipper, fueled by a mix of determination and his newfound abilities, faces off against Bill Cipher in a fierce struggle for control. The air crackles with energy as the clash between human-dragon hybrid and dream demon intensifies. “YOU WILL NOT WIN AGAIN PINE TREE,” Bill yells at Dipper.

Meanwhile, the rest of the gang rallies behind Dipper, combining their strengths to create a unified front against the chaotic forces. The dragons unleash their powers, and the weird-proof mech provides crucial support in the chaotic battlefield. In a moment of unity, the gang, dragons, and the weird-proof mech synchronize their efforts, creating a powerful surge of energy that pushes back against Bill Cipher's influence. The skies above Gravity Falls resonate with the determination of those who refuse to let their town succumb to the weirdness.

The final showdown approaches as Dipper, now fully embracing his hybrid nature, stands firm against Bill Cipher's malevolent presence. The outcome of this clash will determine not only the fate of Gravity Falls but also the intertwined destinies of two dimensions.

In a final, climactic moment, Dipper, with a resolute gaze, taps into the full extent of his hybrid powers. A brilliant burst of blue flames engulfs him, forming a protective barrier against Bill Cipher's relentless weirdness. With a triumphant roar, Dipper channels the strength of his newfound abilities and launches a massive plasma blast at Bill Cipher. The dream demon, caught off guard by the unexpected power, is engulfed in the brilliant light. “NO NO NOOOOOOOOOOOOO,” Bill yells as he’s desintegrated. The explosion resonates through Gravity Falls, creating a shockwave that disperses the weirdness and restores order to the town. The Shacktron 2.0 stands tall, victorious, and the dragons soar through the now-clear skies. As the dust settles, Dipper descends, his wings folding back as he lands gracefully. The gang, dragons, and the residents of Gravity Falls gather, looking at Dipper with awe and gratitude. The once-ruined town now stands resilient, having overcome the threat of Bill Cipher.

In the aftermath, the gang, now celebrated as heroes in both dimensions, comes together for a moment of reflection. Dipper, Mabel, Ford, Stan, Hiccup, and the rest share a sense of accomplishment and newfound bonds that transcend the boundaries of their respective worlds. As the sun sets over Gravity Falls, casting a warm glow on the town, Dipper looks to the horizon with a mix of gratitude and anticipation. The adventures may continue, but for now, the intertwined destinies of two dimensions have found a moment of peace.

As the skies clear over Gravity Falls, Hiccup, realizing that his mission is complete and the dimensions are safe, faces the difficult decision to return to Berk. The gang gathers, dragons included, around Hiccup, sensing the impending farewell. Hiccup looks at the group, gratitude and sorrow in his eyes. "I can't thank you all enough for everything. Berk needs me, and Toothless, too," he says, his voice carrying a weight of bittersweet realization.

Dipper and Mabel exchange a glance, their bond with Hiccup and Toothless evident. "You became part of our world, Hiccup," Dipper says, a mixture of sadness and appreciation in his tone. Mabel, holding back tears, adds, "You're not just a friend; you're family now."

Stan, normally gruff, clears his throat, finding it hard to put his sentiments into words. "You did good, kid. Don't be a stranger." Wendy, Soos, Dipper, Mabel, and their dragons nuzzle against Hiccup, conveying their silent goodbyes. Ford clasps Hiccup's shoulder with a firm grip, understanding the responsibilities that pull him back to Berk.

Hiccup, his eyes misty, gives Toothless a reassuring pat. "We made great friends here, bud, but it's time to go home." As Hiccup prepares to leave, the gang shares tearful goodbyes. Mabel hugs Toothless, Dipper shakes Hiccup's hand firmly, and Stan gives him a gruff but heartfelt nod.

With a final wave and a lump in his throat, Hiccup, mounted on Toothless, takes to the skies, leaving Gravity Falls behind.

The gang watches as their friend and his dragon disappear into the horizon, a mix of sadness and pride in their hearts. As Hiccup returns to Berk, the memories of the extraordinary adventure linger, a testament to the enduring bonds forged across dimensions.

With Hiccup and Toothless soaring into the distance, the gang gathers in the clearing, reflecting on the extraordinary journey that brought them together. The dragons nuzzle against their riders, sensing the mix of emotions in the air. Dipper, Mabel, Ford, Stan, Wendy, Soos, and the dragons share a moment of quiet camaraderie, grateful for the bonds formed during the battle against Bill Cipher.

As the sun sets over Gravity Falls, casting a warm glow on the group, Dipper looks at his hybrid form, wings folded against his back. "We faced the unimaginable together, and now we've come out stronger," he says, a sense of determination in his voice. Mabel adds with a smile, "Our adventures might continue, but we'll face them as a family."

Feeling triumph and pride, Dipper roars loudly to the sky, the dragons join in, their roars echoing in a harmonious melody. The gang, bound by friendship and the shared memories of interdimensional challenges, prepares to face whatever the future holds. The intertwining destinies of two dimensions may have found a moment of peace, but the spirit of adventure lives on in the hearts of those who call Gravity Falls and Berk home.

As Hiccup and Toothless soar through the skies, leaving Gravity Falls behind, Hiccup takes a moment to reflect on the extraordinary adventure. The wind whistles past him as he looks at Toothless, their unspoken connection evident. With a sense of introspection, Hiccup begins to speak.

"You know, Toothless, we've been through a lot together. I never thought I'd find another place that felt like Berk. But Gravity Falls, it's... different. The people there, the dragons, the weirdness – it's a whole new world." He pauses, a mixture of emotions crossing his face. "Meeting Dipper and Mabel, and their whole gang – it felt like finding a family away from home. And that hybrid thing Dipper's got going on? That's something I never imagined. But hey, it worked in our favor when we needed it."

Hiccup smiles, a bit of wonder in his eyes. "Toothless, these adventures teach us something new every time. Even though we've got to head back to Berk, I'll always carry Gravity Falls in my heart. It's like... another piece of our world, and I'm grateful for the friends we made." As they continue their journey, Hiccup looks ahead with a mix of nostalgia and anticipation. "We'll remember this place, won't we, bud? It's not goodbye forever; it's just a 'see you later.'" With a final glance back at Gravity Falls, Hiccup and Toothless press on, going through the portal home, ready for the next chapter in their ongoing saga.

[retribution-if]

dear author you don't have to apologise for your rightful anger. That ask was cringe, and it's coming from a white guy, me, I'm the white guy 💀💀💀

Actually I'm so glad MC going to be more lore-y I just love that stuff!! There's one game that I unfortunately haven't played yet, tale of crowns if I'm not mistaken 🥲 (My dumb ass can't remember names). So, uh, the point is - dear author, that's your game. Biggots be biggots

Tale of Crowns is extremely good! I highly recommend!! It's chapter 10 just released recently!

And about that anon, I truly just want things to be civil in all arguments I'll face here, but sometimes, what can you do when you're faced with someone like that? Nothing but anger, right? Fistfight them in the back of a Wendy's /j

I knew this would be coming, but jeez I didn't expect someone to actually put their time in one rant. Like, sir (gn), don't you have anything better to do besides this?

Enough about that. Gonna move one from it, because I'm forming a headache even thinking about it.

Your statement about the cringe made me wheeze harder than I should. 😭😭😭

Thanks for the laugh, anon. I really needed that.

[random-jot]

Uh sir, this is a Wendy’s

[4o4-tales]

Once upon a time a man decided to be brilliant. Brilliant in a way that the whole world would see. He just needed a chance- and one day he saw it. He saw the President of the United States. And to the most powerful man in the world he said: "Uh sir? This is a Wendy's drive thru."

[slimylittlemaggot]

me: hey uh gimme a distraction from the annoyances of everyday life plz

other person: sir this is a wendy's…

Alright, I have some fun facts I can share! Did you know that ants are to small to be effected by microwave radiation? Did you know that the largest known organism is a Aspen grove where all the trees have an interconnected root system? Did you know that a baby puffin is called a "puffing"?

If you want to know anymore, feel free to come back in my ask box!

7, 22 & 37 for Cady :3

Thanks Red, these were really fun to think about. I'm gonna do this out of order to put the cut lower in the post.

22. What does your character like in other people? He likes people who don't take themselves too seriously. They don't have to be jokesters, but they gotta be a little loose. He had trouble getting along with Rodney at first because he read Rodney as a self-serious asshole. He's incredibly weak to tattoos and piercings and will immediately try to make friends with anyone who crests his very low "cool" threshold with those (read: Tristan and Declan). He also likes people who are passionate about something so he can egg them on, and people who can make unexpected connections in their casual jokes that catch him by surprise.

37. Is your character more concerned with defending their honor, or protecting their status? He cares a little bit about his status as Cool Guy and also Captain but honor matters way more to him. If he acts honorably and people perceive him that way then obviously he's a Cool Guy and someone people want to keep doing business with. He loves playful insults but won't tolerate people actually talking shit (well, maybe unless it's true). Occasionally he does run into trouble where defending his honor or someone else's costs him a customer or an opportunity or lands him in a "sir this is a Wendy's" moment but he mostly just shrugs it off. (But there has to be at least one "this is a Wendy's" moment that he looks back on with embarrassment even if he still thinks he was right.)

7. Does your character have recurring themes in their nightmares? I'm pretty early in the planning stages for this story, but I have a tendency to forget about dreams and nightmares so this was interesting to dig into. Before his disappearance, Cady rarely had nightmares, and they were in response to weird experiences or spooky media. Now they're much more common and they do have a central recurring theme: that in the emptiness of space, no one can hear you scream.

There are two general forms of the nightmare. The first is a sort of abstract one, the kind you also have in normal dreams where you're on a boat but it's also your dad's Wal-Mart. Here, the store is meant to be the planet he's stuck on. There's some kind of monster somewhere in it, and he's been around the store a thousand times but there are no doors, and he's not even certain that there's anyone else inside, because they seem to disappear if he looks away too long. He ends up on the PA system, trying to page for someone, anyone, using his calm captain voice, while he can feel the unseen, perhaps unknowable monster getting closer. The dream ends shortly before it reaches him, as the absolute certainty he is going to die settles in.

This second one is a bit more graphic, so mild warning for claustrophobia, suffocation/difficulty breathing, and, uh, impending death.

The second builds on his real experience sitting in an ejected racer seat, which is its own little short-term life-support capsule. Sometimes he's on the surface of the planet, sometimes out in space, but its distress signal keeps droning out with no response. He knows that someone's supposed to save him, but they're just not coming. They're not picking up his signal. Maybe it's blocked by the landscape and there's not enough of an atmosphere for it to reflect off of. Maybe their equipment is just not listening. But the tone goes on and on and the capsule, which is literally only a bit larger than the seat itself, starts to seem smaller and smaller, like it might crush him before anyone arrives. It inevitably starts to crack at the seams. The smallest gap between the pieces is enough to let the air out. The low oxygen warning lights come on. He's breathing evil, thin atmosphere, an unrealistic but insidious green that feels like it's infecting his lungs with every breath, or trying and failing to breathe vacuum. Now his lungs feel smaller and smaller until there's no space for air—there's no air—and he knows with leaden certainty that this wasn't how things were supposed to go, but it's too late now.

Then he wakes up and wishes like hell he remembered in the dream how it was going to end so maybe it would be less horrifying.

[frankietherat]

wanna see my monstrance cock?

UH SIR, THIS IS A WENDYS

[fenmere]

“Yes, uh.. We’d like a small pile of dragons, please.”

“Sir - er - Ma’am? This is a Wendy’s. We don’t do that kind of thing.”

We are currently feeling an intense frustration with absolutely everything in that any given thing we have is not a pile of dragons, or about a pile of dragons.

The music on Spotify? None of it has anything to do with a pile of dragons.

The sofa we’re lying on? Not a pile pf dragons.

Forget for a moment that *we* are a pile of dragons. Our BODY isn’t, and that’s what matters.

The nachos we’re considering eating? Not a pile of dragons.

This is absurd. The universe is broken.
