The Henry

Fiddleford is having the wildest summer of his life.

Wax figures coming to life, ghosts, clones, and gnomes are just a few of the things he’s seen in Gravity Falls.

But there’s a mystery way bigger than the town’s usual weirdness that’s been haunting Fiddleford’s mind.

What happened to his future self to end up as the town loon? Why did he end up living in Oregon? What happened to his family? And if he turns back into an adult… will he become the town loon again?

The questions won’t leave him alone—and sometimes, scattered fragments of his adult memories sneak into his mind.

Fiddleford wants answers. And he plans to find them.

stan is the only member of the pines twins^2 to never make a deal with bill and i think he needs more credit for that.

ford makes, just, so many deals with his demon boyfriend

dipper literally trades his body to bill in sock opera

and while i will die on the hill that it was never her fault, mabel is tricked into making a deal with him for weirdmagenon.

but stan never gets tricked. the only time he comes close was when he was pretending to be ford but that was with the sole purpose of getting bill erased. never does bill get to him or twist his thoughts. for being the "dumb one" he's surprisingly rational in this was.

nobody matches bill intellectually, ford's fatal flaw is that he thought he did, and the pines family wins because they have an emotional core that bill never had (the power of sibling bonding saves the day and i love it) but ill go out on a limb and say that out of everyone, stan is the only one to match bill's street smarts.

bill's a master manipulator but stan is a professional con-artist with no respect for the law, you tell me who's coming out on top.

stan successfully faked his own death, ran a business for 30 years, taught himself some sort of advanced engineering to repair the portal, evaded local, federal and international authorities from the age of 18, and did it all without any support.

and going back to when he pretends to be ford to get bill to enter his mind, that scene makes stan the only character to ever outwit bill.

anyways this has been a stan pines appreciation post, thank you and goodnight

Celebrating my bday (yesterday lol) by announcing that I’m finally working on my human huskerdust AU again!! It’ll be a while before I update cause I want to be able to make the uploads a daily thing!

I love your take on Relativity Falls!! :D ❤️

(Relativity Falls ver @ @citricacidprince !!)

Some lil sketches:

How are the servants when their sick? Who takes care of them? What makes them feel better?? ♡♡♡♡ luv u

they all turn into fucking bears and won’t take their cough syrup.

just kidding. here’s a long-ass post

lumiere

what. a fucking. production number. 

this is a man who has intense seasonal allergies so EVERYTHING IS POISON and EVERYTHING IS THE END

he’s rapped his will like ten dozen times

(but not like, really. we know lumiere faces actual threats incredibly bravely. we’re talking like, a cold here.)

DEATH!!!

IT’S ALL DEATH!!!!!!

COGSWORTH, MAKE SURE MY SKULL IS USED IN A PRODUCTION OF ‘HAMLET’

BUT LIKE, A SPARKLY PRODUCTION OF HAMLET. GLITTER. SONGS. SHOWGIRLS.

…!!!!…..

ACTUALLY YOU KNOW WHAT, SOMEONE SHOULD DO THAT? !

( once he’s busy scribbling out choreography for “hamlet!: the musical,” which will be soon adam’s (incredibly unwanted) birthday present, he feels much much better )

plumette

oh my god lumiere is in meltdown

is it fucking tuberculosis? lumiere doesn’t care. he’s gonna catch every damn flu in the book by cuddling with his beloved

she likes getting Lotions and Hot Soups and Pastries That Are Far Too Rich For Sick People To Be Eating ™. she fucking revels in all the medicines and creams and powders and breath mints

she is languid and ailing and still absolutely breathtaking plumette. beauty like that don’t quit

cogsworth

oh he hates being sick. the palace can’t fucking run without him!! (it can. just…super badly.)

he is consoled by a stream of tea mugs and lumiere coming to make (fake) promises that everything is Fine. both of them know he is L Y I NG

cogsworth always likes it when people pull out the old quilt his mom made him and put it on him when he’s sick. nobody realized this until belle came along and was like ‘YES! GOOD! MOM-WELLNESS-POWER.’

he likes being petted and pampered by plumette while he sniffles. but ‘oh, dear, you’ll catch a cold,’ and he’s fucking giving her the blankets he so badly needs. like damn cogsworth can you not even not fuck up being sick

cadenza

so. fucking. PICKY. it’s too loud! it’s too quiet! his nose is blinding him!! his ears are eating him alive!!!!!! just obey his demands to the maximum and you’ll be fine. is this orange juice freshly squeezed?? show him the orange peels. show him. bring him the literal orange tree

(but give him sheet music to look at and he’s happy as a clam.)

garderobe

ALSO picky as FUCK. like good thing they’re married?? i guess??

fucking drama queen. it’s the end of the EVER FUCKIGN WORLLD

she needs like ten thousand blankets. cadenza sits by her side and tell her how BEAUTIFUL she is, how she has been cursed by the heavens to bear this sickness so some puny opera wench elsewhere can feel even basically competent for two seconds, your voice will be more BEAUTIFUL than ever after this, amore mio, let me clasp your cold hands and hold them to my face & warm them

(she secretly loves being sick. the ATTENTION.)

chapeau

‘are…are you ok in there, chapeau? speak to us. no, wait, that would actually be bad. semaphore? sacre bleau, my friend, you losing your voice and you being yourself is the difference between a gold coin and a sous—are you contagious? will i die by coming in? will i die by bouncing on your bed? i am bouncing on your bed. would magic tricks help? non? tea and coffee? hot food? what—oh. quiet. You want quiet? Well, you will have that soon enough. Let me just perform my magic tricks first.’

(chapeau is very easy to care for, though meticulous in the few things he asks for. everyone keeps him company, for utterly no reason. he likes hot drinks and toast with jam.)

cuisinier

‘i’m not sick! i’m not sick. get out! devils! get that demon’s oil away from me! the day i drink castor oil is the day i forget how to bake a tarte Tatin—no!!! i will get over this by willpower alone!! and butter. always butter. get out!! is this castor oil?! get it out—’

he’s fucking awful to take care of and they basically have to promise him that lumiere won’t fuck around in his kitchen while he’s out. it’s a fucking group effort

chip

‘mom can i have some orange juice. can i have a comic book. mom wanna see me do a trick? mom i can drink the entire bottle of cough syrup without breathing. mom. mom. mom can i have more orange juice. m o  m’

(( he’s fine, his mom just wants to murder him ))

mrs. potts

r u kidding? when mrs. potts goes down this entire ship burns

my secret slightly ooc headcanon for prime all might is that he smokes.

it starts because of gran torino, who would smoke in the agency around nana. strong, brave, basically broken nana, who knows she can't afford to take on vices, not after giving up her baby to fight off that monster AfO. but smoking isnt the same as drinking. it won't make her faculties take leave of her. it won't...incapacitate her. and at the end of the day, sometimes, she just needs something to take the edge off so badly.

so when torino holds out a cigarette, she takes it.

she basically stops when toshinori becomes part of the picture. but sometimes- just sometimes, he'll get a whiff of smoke from her on a bad day. same smell that around torino and the agency.

and when nana dies, and torino smokes a pack a day because it hurts his heart and there isn't a damn thing he can do except training her boy the only way he knows, he can't even be mad when he finds toshinori, sixteen, grieving, aching, unlit cigarette between his fingers as he stares at it.

torino can only be grateful it isn't anything worse, so he tosses toshinori a lighter and tells him to say no to drugs and alcohol.

I just read this while writing a fanfic in which Vox actually had a loving family and is willing to try to redeem himself to see his daughter and wife who are in heaven again.

I've known about precedents where a fandom would create endless ideas about a villain being sympathetic and ship them with one of the main characters and then it turned out that there was canonically nothing sympathetic about said villain and after that that part of fandom went silent and ashamed and hated on and eventually died out

i never got to experience that phase of that fandom - the thrill of creating incorrect ideas and talking about fanon with people. there was something magical about it. so i think there is nothing evil or out of line in creating cheesy aus where a villain character is nice or shipping said villain, mischaracterizing him and doing other stuff. Creating a niche part of a fandom and being a part of it as long as its fun - what could be so bad about it? Even if it contradicts canon. I get it can be annoying but it cant last long. So its okay to be in the moment, if it makes you happy, I think.

You voted for him! Our @sexyman-contest-2025 champion has earned his Tumblr Sexyman status 13 years after his debut in Gravity Falls, but Stan Pines has a history...

Travel back with us to 1975 and sneak a peek at the Hunky Drifters Catalogue!

A new Gravity Falls charity zine, Hunky Drifters Catalogue aims to recreate the look and feel of a retro magazine. Featuring page-turning articles, parody ads, and racy pictures of our favorite Hunky Drifter, Stan Pines, this zine is sure to please anyone that helped vote our beloved conman to victory!

Although canon implies that its in-universe counterpart may have contained more explicit content, our Hunky Drifters Catalogue strives for the "tasteful and classy" approach Stan might've been hoping for while still appealing to mature audiences (ie: no full frontal nudity).

To get the lowdown on this primo project, make sure you’re following @hunkydrifterscatalogue here on Tumblr (with notifications!) and any of our other social media!

Hi there. I saw your Vigilante Esteban AU. I really loved it. Though, it does make me wonder. Have you thought about making a summary about how Elena reacting to El Gato’s heroism after she overthrew Shuriki? Honestly, I think I can see her throwing a party in El Gato’s honor. Also, I read your fanfic ‘A Cursed Tail’ where Esteban got turned into a cat and I looked up El Gato on Google and turns out it’s Spanish for The Cat. Do you have a thing with associating Esteban with cats?

@scottpetersen

I haven’t thought about making a second post. It’s possible I will in the future or even try my hand at a drabble series of that AU. I think my idea for post-Elena’s return was that she’d learn about El Gato and team up with him when facing certain foes. She’d definitely do something to thank him. Esteban wouldn’t have admitted to that identity because of his guilt over being responsible for Shurki in the first place, so the reveal of his role in Shuriki’s invasion would be extra complicated. However, the fallout there would be less messy since he’d just become El Gato full time and not be involved with more villains. The second reveal would be received much better, I think. 😂

Haha, yes, El Gato is The Cat. I found out Zorro meant Fox and wanted to keep the animal theme since Zorro inspired that idea. I do think Esteban shares some traits with cats (can be high maintenance, not friendly/open with just anyone, makes a mess when upset or instincts take over but typically prettt smooth/quick on feet, etc.). However, the cat fic was kind of me trying my hand at an old fanfic staple. There were lots of fics like those floating about back in like 2012. That being said, I think quite a few of my favorite characters have cat energy, so...

Thanks for the ask! Feel free to ask me anything about my fics!

so yall like smoking gus 👁👁
