I'm not actually going to do anything with this idea, but it's been slightly infecting my brain.
My favourite one of the more mainstream gravity falls aus is Drifting Stars. So, combine that with my Washed Away au. Ford and Nimirylov are on their nice date when suddenly a portal opens up, and a human girl about their daughters age falls out. She's clearly not fine, passed out, and neither of them could even imagine just leaving her like that...
Mabel wakes up in a strange cottage. All she can remember is the flash of white after letting go of the button. Then walks in a weird aquatic man followed by someone who she mistakes for Stan at first.
Just some incorrect quotes with the context I've made up for them. Nothing to see here.
Penni, daughter of Ford "shaves with fire" Pines, does not see any other reason than for consumption as to why shaving cream exists.
Penni, realising that she made a bad call with her deal with Bill, and about to enter her paranoia and insomnia arc.
Penni, entering her paranoia and insomnia arc. Dipper doesn't want to admit he's concerned for her.
She's going into politics. Liking sarcasm is the least problematic thing to do.
Penni doesn't have a womb, the same as the rest of the alien fish species. So, she has no reason to understand period products.
Teaching Penni more English is... going well.
Dipper spent too long distrusting Penni (probably about 3 days) to then just get along with her.
Penni took it literally. She loves sarcasm, doesn't understand when it's targeted towards her.
Penni finally thinking that she's actually getting along with Dipper. She's so happy.
I feel the need to do something and post something right now so if anyone has any ideas, prompts or asks. Please interact with me now.
For now, though, poll!
How does Penni draw under water? Does she have underwater crayons? Does she eat such crayons?
also, will the Pines ever meet the Fish Family? Would they get along? I’m just imagining Stan making awkward small talk with his brother in law.
also also, will Ford ever escape the Shape of Water jokes?
1. Penni draws underwater because to the fish people species, water doesn’t really get in the way of anything. Water to them is what air is to us, or it's at least similar.
2. As I said above, yes, basically. Don't ask me how they're made. Probably something to do with coral.
3. She doesn't seem to me like the type of kid to eat strange things. She has, however, broken them up into tiny pieces. She likes to destroy things.
4. I think I put this in the comments on one of my previous posts but I can't remember which one. Basically, I can't imagine a way for the Pines to meet the Fish family. I've came up with a small idea of how to get Penni to meet them but I need to figure out the details on that one. (Spoiler alert: it involves a certain type of deal.)
5. If they did all meet though, I think they'd get along. Nimirylov is fluent in English and Penni knows some English because of Ford so communication isn't a big issue. I think the class difference would cause a small divide between them though.
Stan making awkward small talk with Nimirylov would definitely happen. Right before and/or after Stan tries to steal/scam something clearly valuable off of him. Ford wouldn't like them two interacting, though, because if they became friends, it would be a nightmare. Stan as a person + Nimirylov's charisma and natural skill with people?
6. Finally, no, Ford will never escape any jokes that could relate back to his husband, especially. His daughter is less joked about, but they'd still end up happening, too.
Thank you so much for these questions. For all the reasons I said in my post asking for questions and because it just makes my brain happy. I love rambling about Ford's alien fish family, and I love thinking more deeply into it with things I hadn't thought about before. I'm always thinking up more for this au, though.
spoingus spongus. gleep glorp?

I don't know how to answer this. Is this targeted towards one of my ocs or to my myself?
Is it just me, or do other people absolutely love au crossovers? Like, please, I need some good au crossovers.
This is also permission for anyone to make any crossovers content with their au and my au if they're so inclined. I would literally melt into a puddle of joy if that happened.
Finally time for my mythological knowledge to come in handy.
The Echidna being referred to here, is the mother of monsters from Greek Mythology not the anteater. She's not the mother of all monsters but enough of them to earn the title mother of monsters.
spin this wheel
you're now this mythical creature, congrats!
I'm probably not going to keep posting this much usually, but I'm bored whilst watching my friends play Cards against Humanity in a public park.
Anyway, Ford's alien fish husband is called Nimirylov which in the alien fish language means "perfect current". Their ship name NimFord then it just means "perfect Ford" which is hilarious.
Bonus: Their daughter is called Penni which less directly translates to "brain perfect". So Ford named his child something that basically means smart which feels very in character for him.
Can people in the fandom acknowledge that Mabel is also clearly a nerd, but she just doesn't show it? Like, one scene that always sticks with me is at the start of Dipper and Mabel versus the Future, they talk about high school. Mabel says that they learn about "You know what" and Dipper's reply is "Trigonometry!"
You would think that the next reply to this would be Mabel calling Dipper a nerd or something, but she replies with the same level of enthusiasm. She says "Oh yeah baby."
Only nerds are excited to learn about fucking trigonometry. Mabel is a fucking nerd.
I've changed my avatar to Doodle Penni because I think she's adorable. Everyone who knows of my account previously, do not be surprised by the change. It's been coming for a long time. I really needed to be done with the base avatar.
Nimirylov, why did you fall in love with Ford?
That's a complicated question, and I will counter it with an equal one. Why does anyone fall in love with anyone?
I could say everything I love about Ford, but none of those are exactly why I'm in love with him, as I'm sure you'll agree. Falling in love isn't a question that can be answered. It's an experience that never ends. When you're truly in love with someone, you fall in love with them more every day.
So, I am unable to answer why I feel in love with Ford, just that I did and I do, forevermore.
However, that feels like a cheap and easy way to get out of answering a question, so instead, I'll tell you something similar. When I first realised I fell in love with Ford.
Looking back on it, I think I had fallen for him from the first moment I saw him. It was not then that I first realised I had and was falling for him, though. Instead, it was after he'd first tried to leave. In the aftermath of that, I was struck with the realisation that I could no longer live my life fully without him. It was a shockingly obvious revelation to come to, and in the end, I will never regret it.
Dearly,
Prince Nimirylov.
Currently obsessed with Gravity Falls. Cooking up my own AU for it :> Washed Away au.
