Local Scientist Enters The Olympics Without Any Equipment Nor Protections

fountain of youth au where the stans get a second shot at their prime-- and the mystery twins trying to help them tackle the new 21st century all away from across the globe

y’all just— thinking about how excited Stanley must have been to host the twins— Alex says he smokes cigars but he doesn’t smoke once in the show— has a beer gut but he only drinks sodas in front of the kids— doesn’t swear when they’re around which must have taken INCREDIBLE effort— Stanley Pines, known crook, buying pancake mix at the supermarket and many bottles of syrup— learning to cook basic healthy meals and burning so many of them before he gets it right— buying new sheets, new mattresses— avoiding bunk beds because it reminds him of Ford— looking at the attic room he made wondering “is this enough will they like me”— trying to act aloof at the bus stop so he doesn’t betray the fact that he was there hours early— watching them goof around and thinking of New Jersey beaches— then the first night they’re there, he watches them debate running away and only stay because Mabel shook a magic 8 ball. That must have kept him awake all night.

I’d been wanting to create my own AU for a while. It took me some time to decide which of all my ideas to focus on first, but I eventually went with this one because it felt like something I hadn’t explored before. And personally, I *love* stories where a character is accidentally de-aged. *Gravity Falls* has so many characters you can have fun with when it comes to that concept.

Lately, I’ve had a bit of a soft spot for McGucket, and I’ve basically been devouring every fanfic and fanart I can find of him—so I couldn’t resist making him the protagonist of this AU.

Here’s the premise: in this universe, during the episode *“The Legend of the Gobblewonker”*, McGucket stumbles across a strange mushroom growing inside the cave behind the waterfall. The spores from this mushroom have rejuvenating properties, which causes Fiddleford to turn back into a 13-year-old—retaining only the memories he had at that age.

With no idea what to do, Dipper, Mabel, and Soos decide to take a very confused Fiddleford to the lake shore and try to explain what happened. Fiddleford, of course, doesn’t believe a word of it and runs off the moment he sets foot on dry land.

It only takes him a day to realize he’s on the other side of the country… and that it’s the year 2012. Naturally, he doesn’t take it very well.

Dipper and Mabel eventually find him and offer him a place to stay. At first, they sneak him into the Mystery Shack every night behind Stan’s back—but Stan doesn’t take long to figure it out and just lets Fiddleford stay, as long as he helps out around the Shack with Dipper and Mabel.

Fiddleford ends up having an amazing summer, joining the twins on most of their adventures.

Meanwhile, Tate McGucket is losing his mind over his father’s sudden disappearance.

I have no idea…

theres nothing gayer that whatever the fuck lumiere and cogsworth had going on in beauty and the beast

some sketches of otto that are somewhat related to an AU I've been thinking about lately

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!

i love this

I hate Alastor squad

I just had the funniest head canon of Lucifer going to meet Vox to help Charlie with advertisiment or something (maybe some silly ducks related things idk) and while talking being like "yeah I just wanna help my precious daughter but that radio demon what an asshole am I right?" And Vox literally tearing with joy because someone finally understands him (the king of hell himself) and so starting this crazy tantrum about hating Alastor while Lucifer is like: 🤨

Until he casually mentions that he's been away for 7 YEARS and Lucifer gasps in realisation connecting all the dots. He really hates Alastor now.

I can't help but think that in an alternate universe, if Martin Whitly had committed the murders when he was at university and had been caught, the news would probably have nicknamed him the angel of death, (like Robledo Puch, a famous Argentine serial killer, there is literally an interview where a lady believes that I could not have done anything so bad because according to her the boy has an angelic face) also michael sheen as a young man really seems quite angelic

I feel like I know who that person is, but there are quite an odd number of angels of deaths. Though that is more reserved for doctors who kill at work, so I don't... know if the Surgeon counts as one??? But if he had committed them when he was still in med school, that would make for an interesting situation!

so background. my fiancée and my mom have been calling each other “BFF” since we started dating over 5 years ago. like that was my mom’s contact name in Selena’s phone for half a decade.

anyway we just got engaged a few days ago, and now the two of them want to update their nicknames to reflect that. and. well. hold on i gotta gear up for this one
