Somebody Else Probably Did This Already But Whatever

I was going to lament the complete lack of longer fics centered solely on Dipper and Mabel's relationship, before realizing that I have, in fact, read one story like that. However, Dipper was so traumatized he acted pretty different.

This is also the story that convinced me I shouldn't read main character death.

au where everything is the same except mabel and dipper have been going to gravity falls every year before the show takes place since like kindergarten.

its a pretty simple premise that derives mostly from my desire to explore interpersonal relationships and the ways a place and people can change from a young child’s point of view. it doesn’t change canon that much either, admittedly, i just wanted to draw childhood friends stuff LOL. ill call it uhhhhhhhh every summer au.

Live sibling reaction

Escape from Reality: “How did any of these episodes get in a kids’ show?” - my brother (different brother from last time)

Final episode: “Why are they acting like they’ll never come back?” - my sister

“Did none of them realize they could come back?” - also my sister

My brother (same one as last time) also pointed out that the wording of the Never Mind All That act implied people outside of Gravity Falls knew something was going on. Also, the news broadcasting stuff. Fanfic authors, we have work to do. We’ve been missing a lovely source of fanfic inspiration

Man eating rice, China, 1901-1904

One of my brothers thinks Quagsire looks like a giant tadpole smh

Hey, I do the "grammar, Stanley" to my brother all the time! I was kinda disappointed when he didn't go "IT'S YOU" when we reached that part of the show ngl

Dear Gravity Falls fandom,

Do you really think the scientist who spent years building an interdimentional portal in his basement while also researching tons of anomalies, would wear a TRENCH COAT?? Well, here's my autistic ass's "Errmm, acshoeally, he wears a duster, not a trench coat.". Makes a lot more sense, right? RIGHT???

Sincerely,

A very autistic person who would totally pull a 'Grammar, Stanley' on their sibling lmao

rip aiden you would have loved twitter

ok but can we talk about how FUCKED UP it is that mabel made an alternate version of dipper?

not fucked up she did that, (its p fucked up but hear me out) but fucked up she felt like she had to

like she felt like dipper put her down so much she made a different “more supportive” version of him

and not to mention how even though dipper clearly hated him, he never held it against mabel

dont mind me I like making myself sad for stupid reasons

Loooool

"And Dipper learned the best place for romance is in a burlap sack."

That quote haunts me daily.

. . . therefore I had to draw them. Though I might go back and edit it some more. (The drawing only took the top half of the page so I drew a different frame of Lost Legends on the bottom but it's unfinished. Also, I misspelled top as otp which I think is funny.)
