I Feel Like Ivor Would Be The Type Of Person Who Is Enjoying Cat Café. He And Lukas Would Both Go There

I think one of the best things about dipcifica (both romantic and platonic) is just that neither of them have a clue about what the other person is like.

Like yeah, Dipper doesn't have any idea about modern fashion and other stuff Pacifica values but Pacifica doesn't know either.

And if they even decided to date, both of them are gonna struggle planning it. Dipper 'overthinking' pines for obvious reasons

and Pacifica cuz, what is she supposed to do? Most of what she knows isn't going to work with Dipper like it would with other people.

Is she supposed to plan a date in the supernatural black market? Do they even have restaurants like the mall does?? Can she even reserve a table???

And what is she supposed to wear? An alien outfit? Dipper like kissing aliens right? What fashion do aliens even have?!

I've had an Infinity Train story in my head for at least a year now. It's a post-canon story following Lake but there's also an "OC on the Train" second plot and the two plots intersect later. It'll be a series. I told myself that I should finish the whole first story before posting it, but when have I ever done that? Then I told myself to do it in chunks of 10 chapters (there will be roughly 40 total). Now I'm like, "Why not just do it in chunks of five?"

The first few chapters I wrote about a year ago, but I got stuck and then I was writing Mindscaperers and now I'm writing like 5 billion different stories. But I still think that this one is almost ready to be sent out into the world. (This is because I've almost finished the first five chapters. Yes, it took me over a year to get this far, but only because I was working on other stuff, which yes, I will still be doing, but I love this story and want to share it soon.)

Other Infinity Train characters will show up throughout the series (Hazel, Tulip, Grace, One-One and Samantha will both have minor but important roles in at least the first book, heck, I even have plans for Ryan and Min-Gi!) but Lake and Kaya (the OC) will probably be the main characters for the majority of it.

I have no idea what the rating is going to be, so I'll probably leave it at "not rated" for now. Reason being the story is going to deal pretty heavily with stuff like self-harm and anxiety. I'm not sure if it warrants an M rating, so for now . . . NR.

But there will be fluff! It is very much a Fluff and Angst, Angst with a Happy ending sort of thing!

I'm pretty excited for Lake's part of the story, because there really aren't a ton of stories about her like . . . trying to integrate into society as a literal metal person. How do you even do that?

Series name is A Place To Call Home, first book is called We Only Broke The Train A Little Bit (More Than You). It's gonna be fun! And angsty. And fun! And hurt-y. And fluff! And also some dark parts. But fluff!

I'm really excited about this.

As someone with a few years experience in martial arts with sparring, I would like to explain some

Realistic reactions to being struck

Punched in the gut:

yelp of pain--like "ah!" And then a groan like "ohh" as the nausea hits

Curl protectively over their gut

Arms out to stop any incoming punches

After expelling air from the impact, they may not be able to breathe in. They may just lose some of their wind, or all of it.

If whumpee is trained (or used to it!) they may know to breathe out a little on impact, softening the blow and reducing the amount of air they lose

It hurts, so victim is going to be at least grimacing and guarding their stomach

Losing your wind is disorienting and panic-inducing, even for someone with training

A hard enough punch may be enough to drop whumpee, especially if: they are skinny (less padding), their body is trying to conserve oxygen (like they lost ALL their wind at once), they are panicked/outmatched (to protect themselves), or they're going to puke

Puking can also happen a bit afterward

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 passed a sign in boring that said their sister city is dull, scotland

Somebody else probably did this already but whatever

Just Ivor✨

One of my fics has zero hits and one bookmark and I love that for it

Every day I long to shake roughly 3/4 of the fandom by the shoulders and shout at them that any relationship Bill and Ford had was horrifically abusive

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
