Lost And Found By SheWhoStealsKneecaps Is A Good Fic I Read A Year Ago, But It's Unfinished.

I feel like Ivor would be the type of person who is enjoying Cat café. He and Lukas would both go there when they want to chat.

'Northwest Mansion Mystery' in a nutshell

Dipper: Talk to me, Pacifica. How are we looking?

Pacifica: Hot, but not like we’re trying too hard.

Pacifica: Like, sure, we're trying, but it's almost effortless.

Dipper:

Dipper: I meant the plan.

uhhh I’d just like to say because I keep getting asks about this that requests (asks or messages) for donations will be ignored, sorry!

I have read two fics in the last two days where Ford wakes up and his first instinct is to point a gun (specifically at Stan)

Today I learned that Easter is also called Resurrection Day. As a Christian, I feel like I should have known this by now.

Happy Easter/Resurrection Day! He is risen!

the most important thing when i write dipper and mabel is to understand that they are not stan and ford.

that's not to say that there aren't similarities. obviously, the twins have dynamics that can be compared to each other in a myriad of ways, both separately and together.

but it's so very vital that dipper is NOT a 1:1 ford. and mabel is NOT a 1:1 stan.

dipper has ford's love of rationality and mysteries, but he has stan's love of stories and family. mabel has stan's pure chaos, but ford's pre-bill trust in people.

dipper and stan both approach the world with cynicism. young ford and mabel approach the world with wonder.

stan was the twin worried about being left behind, just like mabel. ford and dipper both wanted to carve a path for themselves and their future.

mabel was so scared of losing her brother that she accidentally caused weirdmaggedon, just like stan was worried about losing ford that he accidentally sabatoged ford's science project/collegiate future. but dipper was the one who fought like hell mostly by himself in the apocalypse for three days to get her back, just like stan worked for thirty years to save ford. there is nothing dipper wouldn't sacrifice for mabel.

in my humble opinion, this is why the pines family dynamic is so damn compelling. they aren't carbon copies because that's not how people work. there is a sincerity, an honesty, a relatability between all of these characters and their flaws.

mabel and dipper aren't just the younger version of their grunkles. they are a crazy mishmash of the best and worst traits swapped around and punted to the moon and back.

exploring each micro-dynamic is so fascinating. i love this weird little family.
