This Has Been On My Mind And The Brain Rot Of Mcsm Is Strong I Need To Talk About It With Someone Who's

I honestly don't get people who thought Dipper should have accepted Ford's apprenticeship offer or that he was once again bending over backwards to please Mabel by rejecting it, as if the apprenticeship and Mabel Land weren't two sides of the same coin.

Everybody can tell Mabel Land was a bad coping mechanism to Mabel -a way to have her avoid facing reality. But Ford's apprenticeship would've be the same thing to Dipper if he accepted it.

Since the begining of the show Dipper wanted to fastfoward childhood with his attempts to woo Wendy, lying about his age to seem more mature and skipping trick r treat to go to a teenage party, and getting the oportunity to just skip middle and high school and go straight to studying the paranormal like an adult with Ford is just more of that. It's another form of escapism, even if it seems more "grown-up".

When he gives up the apprenticeship, he's not giving up his dreams -if they defeat Bill he can come back to Gravity Falls with Mabel and study the paranormal as much as he likes and he even had a plan for making a ghost-hunting show when he grew up, as he told Ford as the latter was doing his offer.

Instead, he promisses to have Mabel's back and vice-versa as they've always had before, because as much as reality and growing up sucks, it's the people around you that make it bearable.

we’ve all heard of the fake dating trope… but have u considered.. fake exes trope…..

‘my new romance-obsessed friend asked me who my last date was with and i was too embarrassed to say i’ve never been on a date so i blurted your name and it turns out they know you’ au

‘i didn’t want to tell my friend who my real date last night was so i just pointed at a random stranger (you) but now they’re storming over to interrogate you and you’re playing along??? okay’ au

‘a mutual friend tried to introduce us, but we already knew each other from LARPing but we’re both too embarrassed to admit that so i jokingly said we used to date and oh god now our friend wont stop interrogating us about it’ au

‘im egging your house for a dare but your parent is a cop and they’re yelling at me so i told them that you were my ex and you wronged me and now you’re coming outside and please go along with this i don’t want to go to jail’ au

‘my current partner is a huge asshole and i need a reason to break up with them so will you pretend to be my possessive and violent ex’ au

‘we’re contestants on a reality show and we kind of hate each other so the producers told us to pretend to be warring exes for the ratings so now we keep inventing crazier and crazier things the other did while we were dating’ au

Protect them ❤️❤️❤️✨✨✨✨

next summer twins

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.

We need to talk more about the redstone aunts. Get the redstone geniuses of their individual times, Ellegaard, Harper and Xara in a lab together (with Olivia shadowing and also spontaneously combusting from the fangirling) and there will be things invented no one has ever seen before in mcsm. Be prepared for a speedrun of multiple-back-to-back technological revolutions and also intergalactic space travel in like a month. That or the three of them would end up killing each other and the planet at large first (mad geniuses are notoriously bad at getting along with other self-proclaimed geniuses). It's a match made in either the Aether or the Nether.

me: quietly posts a fic and hopes that no one I know irl finds it

also me: knows there are two people I know irl who could most definitely find it and this is entirely my fault

me: lives in fear of their judgement (lol, both of them read fanfiction too)

Am I the only one who noticed just how SAD Mabel was in Mabel Land? She was nowhere near the excitement and happiness she felt when she first held Waddles or when she shares a laugh with Stan or when she admires her smart brave brother. There was this deliberate undercurrent in every word she spoke of a girl whose heart was broken. (seriously MAJOR props to Kristen Schaal for getting that across in her voice alone)

That’s why Dipper could say with complete certainty “You’re not happy here”. And Mabel KNEW IT, she knew it from the start! She just needed to hear the words spoken out loud. Which is often what needs to happen for a person to realize that what they’re doing is wrong.

Lost and Found by SheWhoStealsKneecaps is a good fic I read a year ago, but it's unfinished.

Anyone got good MCSM fic recommendations? 🙏

headcanon: ellegaard once built an egg launching machine gun and absolutely demolished magnus with it after he called her 'elleggaard' one too many times, and as a result uncracked eggs are no longer allowed in boomtown

dadvor doesn't make much sense to me, ivor to me is more like a deranged uncle
