I’m A Dummy Bc There’s A Cool Alien Hybrid In Media And The Headcanons I Focus On/come Up W/ Are

I have plans

A Fanfic Writer Appreciation Day rec-list

So, I heard people are celebrating fanfic authors today, and I wanted to take the time to share some of my all-time favorites! (all are Gravity Falls)

Blind Faith, by @pinesinthewoods

Behold, the fic that firmly dragged me into the Gravity Falls fandom! I remember scrolling through GF fics on Ao3 for the first time, and this was one of the very first I read. It’s dark, has heaps of glorious Stan twin angst, and still lingers in my mind to this day.

Towards the Sun, by @pinesinthewoods and @notthistimespock

Out of every single fic I’ve ever read, this one succeeds the most in getting inside the character’s heads. A bit of a canon divergence where, to save Stanley, Ford must confront his brother’s darker side within the mindscape. (Admission: I cried on multiple occasions while reading this.)

Flat Dreams, by PengyChan

I once told myself I’d never feel pity for a triangle. I was bitterly wrong. An amazing imagining of Bill’s childhood, early life, and rise to power… with lots of inspiration from Edwin A. Abbott’s Flatland. 

Stars and Trees, by jikanet_tanaka

A set of small scenes and vignettes of Stan’s life, from childhood to present. All of them are focused on the theme of family, and how Stanley relates to the idea over time. They’re very feels-y and sweet, and characterize Stan so well! 

The Wind in Visions, by @the-stan-twin and @the-ford-twin

Ah, where do I start with this? Probably the most pure examples of Fiddauthor and Mabifica I can think of. I adore the heaps and heaps of Pines family bonding in this and the slice-of-life feel it has… and yet there’s this feeling of something serious building in the horizon, and wow, I can’t wait to see what happens next with that!

Blue Bayou, by The_Lionheart (@icefeels)

The most fascinating take I’ve seen on Ford’s multiverse years. It features a very well developed OC, (honestly one of the best I’ve seen in this fandom), who becomes Ford’s traveling partner. Their interplay is equal parts hilarious and emotional at times, and is very deep without seeming forced. I really recommend this- it could use SO much more love! (It only has about 100 hits… and that needs to be changed ASAP! :D)

The Triboelectric Effect, by @aroford

An amazing what-if centering around the idea of Stan and Ford accidentally swapping bodies on the electron carpet, way back in ‘82…

Merlin should be a little uncanny valley, as a treat

Hi there, your blog is getting me through uni, thank you 😭🎉❤️ Have you heard of any fics where merlin dies or they think he dies, but then he comes back because he’s immortal or something and fluff ensues?

Aw, thanks! Here’s what I have for you:

Beyond Recall

When You’re Not Watching 

From the Ashes

The Sorcerer and the King

All the Laughter From Before

Safety Measures and Clumsy Warlocks

Hope this helps! You can also look through the immortal Merlin tag here

listen, my new favorite fanfic trope is Erik seeing Peter as a son figure, and having this whole speech to Peter about how they may not be related but he still cares for him yadda yadda… and peter just going “uuuuuhhhhhhh hey wanna know something funny”

I've been trying to remember what fandom this is from, maybe you can help me. I read some fics, and in them a character had grown up on some colonized/enslaved planet and there were a bunch of kids that got rescued from it, and he didn't like to let people know he was one of them. It was a m/m ship, and honestly that's all I remember. For some reason I thought it was Bones/Jim Kirk, but that's obvi not it because I know star trek. Help??

Hmm. Well, there are a lot of fics that deal with what happened on Tarsus IV. I can rec you stories that deal directly with it, deal with Jim's trauma from it, or mention it, but they're all Spock/Kirk. I hope that's okay!

Magpie by the always incredible @waldorph

Spock met Jim when he was 7 and Jim was 6. It has since been generally agreed that this was a mistake (or: the one where they grow up together and things are simultaneously better and worse for it).

rhadamanthus by spqr

Spock murmurs, “I cannot imagine a universe in which it is not my life’s duty to protect you. You are — “ he has to search for the right words, in Jim’s language. “You are — most dear to me, of all things.”

For Gladness of You by kariye

In which shit goes down in no particular order: Jim almost starts a war, Spock gets tortured, Jim gets kidnapped, Jim gets tortured, Spock gets not-quite-kidnapped, Jim takes the Enterprise joyriding, and mysterious Vulcans with their even more mysterious leader hop a ride for a few weeks. But that’s not what the story’s about. It’s about this: Jim was always going to fall in love with Spock – boldly, recklessly. He just didn’t expect to stay that way. A story about getting over all that.

The Handmaid of Genius by ladyblahblah

When the replicators go offline, Jim reacts unexpectedly.

Still Life by dogpoet

Traumatized by his experience on Tarsus IV, Jim Kirk runs away to Vulcan to undergo kolinahr.

Fic-Rec Tuesday!

Welp we survived another weekend here. The kids had sniffles Friday and by Saturday morning I felt like my soul had been shoved through a meat grinder 😬 I am now a functioning member of society once more but my partner is down for the count.

This weeks fan fic recommendation is Welcome to the Enterprise by IvanW.

Jim shakes Spock’s hand and accidentally bonds them. It’s got angst and chaos and reading it makes my heart sing. This is a work in progress so everyone should go and give Kudos and comments and help keep this wonderful author motivated. This story is soooo fun and Spock is just…. I want to shake the poor boy. He tries so hard and yet fails so hard.

The author has been working on this story for 4 years!!! They deserve so much love and I really hope you all agree 🖖

Pen I used

Hello! Has anyone written a fic inspired by your kid!Jon time travel AU? (if you allow that kind of stuff? Or are you planning on writing for it?). I'm obsessed with the AU, it's so lovely and unique! Love the idea, love the art, everything, perfection *chef kiss*. If such a fic exists, could you maybe tell us where to find it/drop a link? Thank you for your art, it always brings a smile to my face. Have a great day!

I'm gonna be honest,, I just read fics of the kid!Jon time traveller theme and I got a bit shook when they were all unfinished and I was craving for more. I just started doodling my own version to cope, one with a much more light-hearted and funny tone

And hoping that maybe my drawings might inspire tma fic writers to write more "jon time travels to his 8 year old self" fics,, i love the theme so much i dont mind reading it again and again

ALL IN ALL THIS IS JUST ME HOPING PEOPLE CAN GET INSPIRED BY MY DOODLES SO I CAN CONSUME MORE KID!JON HEALING FICS BAHAHHA IM SHAMELESS I KNOW

(i cant write my own because my thoughts are all over the place ksdjLKSKJDL i prefer drawing short snippets through comics)

ANYWAY, here are the fics that got me hooked:

1.) Too much time by Hix (180k+ words) - angtsy as fuck,,, super slow burn when it comes to jon’s relationships with others,, my fave one so far. Jon has his memories intact but elias doesnt 2.) Time is Hard by Serazimei (130k+ words) - a bit more light hearted than the first fic,, friendships are formed faster and there are a lot of sweet moments. Elias is forced to remember what he did to jon but has no plans to end the world after

3.) The Timeline of Theseus by Applea (90k+ words) - Jon doesn’t remember anything at all but is still powerful. Elias keeps him around because of his abilities 4.) A break in the clouds by Ash_ Rabbit (107k+ words) - here the real Elias keeps his body and Jonah is in James Wright. His interactions with Jon are so adorable hngg

Happy New Year ☺️🥳 In celebration of the day, I present to you a picture inspired by a fun AOS AU fic called ‘Next Best Destiny’ by @rabidchild67 in which a lovably nerdy science officer called Jim Kirk gets assigned to the Enterprise to serve under Captain Spock.

Wishing you all a happy and prosperous 2024 🖖
