(SPOILER WARNING For The Endings Of Little Nightmares || And The Security Breach: Ruin DLC)

Mr. Ford Pines: "Do you believe in god?"

Deity Bill: "No! Stop talking."

Mr. Ford: "Once upon a time, mankind believed in god and had religion."

Deity: *sighs*

Mr. Ford: "They believed that things that cannot be solved by human strength are the will of god; believed that the entire universe revolved around the Earth; thought that the place that connected with the sky, which they could not dare to reach, was the place where the gods lived."

Deity: "That's just ridiculous."

Mr. Ford: "From the moment humanity left the universe, we all forgot god."

...

Mr. Ford: "But if belief in god is human. If all I can do as a human is to believe–"

Deity: "Why are you staring at me? "

Mr. Ford: "My god..."

Deity: "Hey — hey! Wait! "

Mr. Ford: "...My universe."

Deity: "Ah, go away! Ahhhh! "

—Meet the Cast!—

(Part Three: Representatives of the South)

Hadron:

Hadron is a popular country singer known for his genuine, southern charm. His signature instrument is the banjo, which can be heard playing in the background of most of his music. Raised in the South, he developed fond memories of the countryside and decided to share its beauty with the world through his songs. He's been ridiculed by numerous people for his accent, background, and style, but is determined not to allow them to break his spirit. He's proud of where he's from and isn't willing to change that, no matter what the haters may say.

Hadron is the actor of the character "Fiddleford McGucket" and was chosen for the role due to being a southern icon. Through his acting, he gave Fiddleford some country charm that ended up well-received by the audience. It wasn't limited to just on set either, since he would spend time in-between shoots and breaks playing his banjo; filling the room with austral tunes.

"Sometimes, when everything is bor-ing, he'll just grab that...guitar-thing...and play it. Some people will suddenly stop talking just to listen, and soak it in. I... I like it when he plays it. The music is nice, and he's not as lame as people say. Don't make a big deal out of that, though," Patricia (actor of "Pacifica Northwest") noted about the brunette singer.

A side gig he has is teaching students on how to play the banjo after much interest being expressed in the instrument once his songs became popular. Patricia, in particular, decided to join his courses, intrigued by the melodies he made. He is said to be a very calm and patient teacher, though prone to sarcasm and bitterness.

He's been viewed to be closest with Patricia, Stan, and Ford out of the entire cast. The young blonde talks to him often, asking for advice and requesting his opinions on things. She'd never say this, but it's clear that she looks up to him. (Possibly seeing him as a father figure in light of her parent's neglect.) Stan has a tendency to flirt with him and occasionally Hadron will reciprocate the acts, usually leading to the former person turning red (Ford is oblivious to this behavior). Whether this is just friendly banter and play, or something more is left to be seen. He also quickly became friends with Ford, due to their similar introverted natures and nerdiness.

Deon:

Deon was cast with the role of "Gideon Gleeful" for the series. He has a history of acting in several action and historical films, but he usually played a background character in those. Gideon is his first major role and because of that he was eager to give his greatest performance.

"He was always so bubbly! Like, I could just pop him! Haha. But, seriously, he tried really hard to do his best. And I think that deserves a sticker," Mabel energetically insisted when talking about her fellow cast member.

He, too, was raised in the South. However, he ended up moving up North when he was young, since his parents desired to give their son the best opportunities possible and wanted to go where potential was bustling as a result. And they sure did take advantage of the fresh start! When Deon had begun to display both enthusiasm and promise in acting, they were discovered by a talent scout, who offered jobs within the realm. Once Deon was firmly sure this was what he wanted, his acting career took a start.

Deon tends to himself, typically sticking to the corner unless it's his scene, and doesn't socialize much. However, when he does, most of the time it's with Mabel. He finds her optimism and confidence to be infectious (in the best way) and admirable.

Alright, so story time: I intend on becoming an author my career. I love writing and just the endless creativity that comes with crafting fictional stories. And my blog is meant to be a way that I can share my writings with the world. So, obviously, I wanted to create a user name that was writing-themed. First, I tried out the user "writing-dreams" because all of my fics start out as daydreams essentially; except, instead of being mentally projected as an image, it's just sentences. Also, being a writer is — as I previously stated — my dream job, so it fit well.

However, unfortunately for me, it was taken. After that, I was kind of stumped because I suck at naming things. Then I remembered this random post that went like this: "I wish people would romanticize gaming like how they romanticize reading. People talk about spending an entire day in solitude, reading a book, and that's perfectly acceptable. Encouraged even! But, when I tell people about how I spend an entire day playing video games, all of sudden it's 'unhealthy' and I need to 'take a break and go touch grass.' It's not fair. They should romanticize gaming the same way!" And I was struck with the idea of making my username "romanticizing-writing" due to my passion for writing and random remembrance of that post.

—Meet the Cast!—

(Part One: The Real "Mystery Twins")

Mabel:

The young tween is making a debut in the acting industry as a rising star. After landing the role of playing "Mabel" in the new hit show, "Gravity Falls," she decided that she'd rather associate with that name for her stage name.

Before gaining a presence in acting, she was famous for her love for animals. She started her own brand of sweaters for both people and pets, believing that they deserve a chance to be fashionable as well. She even fully trained her pet pig, "Waddles" — becoming well known for doing such an impressive feat. Due to her passion towards nature's creatures, she's also sworn on being vegetarian; refusing to eat meat of any sort.

She has a heart of pure gold and is said to be just as amazing of a person in real life as she's viewed online.

"Mabel? Oh, she's just the sweetest! She checks on everyone — and I mean everyone — and asks if they're having a good day. She hasn't let any of the attention, or benefits, of getting a main role go to her head, and is so modest. She's splendid to have on set," Susannah (actor of "Lazy Susan") exclaimed during an interview.

The pre-teen girl is beloved by seemingly everyone working on the show, causing her to be quite popular with them. The same can't be said for some of the fan-base, however. Hate groups have been formed against her character and they've decided to also take out their anger against her as well, considering that she's the actress playing the female Pines twin. Other cast members of the show — like Stan (actor of "Stanley Pines"), Mason (actor of "Dipper Pines"), and William (actor of "Bill Cipher") — have shielded her against the verbal assault, coming to her defense. We can only hope that part of the community gains some sense and realizes that they should fix their behavior.

Mason:

Mason plays the role of "Dipper Pines" — a nerdy teen obsessed with uncovering the mysteries surrounding him. While not being a hunter of the paranormal like his fictional counterpart, Mason has a history of acting in mysteries and horror films. Despite being younger than most people with a job in those genres of media, he's had a successful career with it. He claims that he's never found the supposed 'creepiness' to be unsettling: In fact, he says he's instead usually drawn to it, like a moth to a flame. As a result, he has a passion for the eerie and supernatural — causing him to be a perfect fit for the character.

Many wondered whether or not the 'Big Dipper' birthmark he displays in the show was authentic due to how real it looks, and he confirmed to indeed be simply makeup. Though, he admits that he wishes he did have it for an actual birthmark because of how cool it would be.

Mason is not at all the insecure kid he acts like in the series, and instead is confident and outgoing in person. However, similarly to Dipper, he's tends to be an introvert.

"It's mental whiplash just interacting with the kid! He'll be a sarcastic smart*** , but as soon as the camera starts rolling, all of the sudden he's an awkward mess, sweating bullets left and right. The change catches me off-guard every time, but I try not to act like it," Stan (actor of "Stanley Pines") grunted when we asked him about his experiences.

He's extremely attached to Mabel and clicked with her as soon as they met. They could really trick you into thinking that they were twins with how close they are. They barely spend a moment apart. Frankly, it's adorable.

I accidentally posted my unfinished final draft of the first chapter of my fanfic 😭💀I changed it to a private post and am going to have to continue editing it this way now. I don't know how that happened. I had it listed as a draft. Better than accidentally deleting it, I guess

This is canon. It happened while they were sailing around the world together. The only person who can dispute this is Alex Hirsch himself.

(For @romanticizing-writing)

Stan: AHHH! I ain’t too worried about it! (Gasping) 😰

Ford: You had that dream again, didn’t you? 😒

I was going to create my own EPIC: The Musical x Gravity Falls AU if I couldn't find anything on Tumblr and name it "Epic Falls". Seems like the name was already taken, but at least someone is taking advantage of the potential for the crossover. This is really neat!

You are a Warrior of the Mind...

Don't disappoint me

More on the AU under cut!

I've finally more or less figured out how Epic Falls is gonna go! Everything I make for this au is probably not gonna be a fully finished piece, I just had an itch thinking about Ford and Bill in this AU

In this AU, Ford, Stan and Shermie are all sent to fight in the war, through a series of misunderstandings and accidents and more than a little intervention by a certain demon to get Ford out of Ithaca

Shermie was the heir, being the oldest, but he figured Ford would be a better ruler than him anyway, Stan was actually sent to war by King Filbrick in order to ensure Ford would be next in line after Shermie, and Ford got a very odd dream that convinced him he needed to prove himself to his kingdom by winning the war for Ithaca. Little did he know Shermie was also leaving... (for more info you could look at the epic falls tag!!)

ANYWAY, Ford and Bill. Wow are these guys interesting.

Ford basically treated Bill as one of his only friends, his muse, and Bill convinced him that he needed Bills help to win the war. It's only once he break the deal with Bill and properly lets his brothers in on the warplanning that they pull a Trojan Horse and win the war. (The actual reasoning for the war in this au is... under progress)

Bill, angered by Ford's insolence and him breaking the deal, acts as nearly all the gods in this AU, taking the place of Athena, Zeus in Thunder Bringer, and Posiedon (Bills goal in this AU is to rid Ithaca of all of its heirs, and he has his own ulterior motives for that. Getting into his character is gonna be a blast guys, trust) (all of which has IMPLICATIONS for 'We'll be Fine')

dear cast, what was your hardest episode to act for (if one applies)?

Dear Pickledoesthetumbling,

I don't understand why you would want to know (why are people obsessed with seeing me vulnerable), but I suppose I'll entertain my fans. You better appreciate it! The things I'll do for my parent's public image.

I would have to say that the most difficult episode for me to act in was the "Northwest Mansion Mystery" episode. Why? Well, there's multiple reasons behind it, for your information. First of all, Mason is a jerk. ... Okay, fine, maybe that was a bit of an overstatement. I'll rephrase — he can be an annoying smart aleck when he wants to. And, for some reason that only he himself will ever know, he decided to be one for the episode. Constantly. So much so that some scenes from the episode weren't planned and instead some of those "times when actors weren't acting" thing. So what if I maybe fired some insults back? Horror is dumb. It's a scientifically proven fact. Besides, he knows that I'm a natural blonde! Yet, he keeps on making comments about how I'm not. Ugh. He's lucky that I don't mind wasting my time with him with how he acts.

Secondly, the episode hit a bit too...personal for me. I may or may not have had a few mental breakdowns that were only calmed down by Mason and the sense of security he gives me, but there's no proof of that. Like, at all. So, don't go poking your nose around any rumors, gossip, or cut takes. Or else I'll sue you. I'm not joking. I'm sure Mr. Stan would be more than willing to be my lawyer for a cut of the profit.

You're Welcome,

Patricia

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Pickledoesthetumbling,

This was a good question! Here — have a sticker for the amazing idea! ^^

Take it! It's a gift between you and me. Anyway— I would have to say that the episode "Dipper and Mabel vs. the Future" was the most difficult for me to act. I'm new at acting, so I didn't know how to make myself emotional or cry at will. Because of this, the ending ended up, admittedly, taking a while to get done. But, everyone was really nice about it! Mr. Stan even gave me some private, one-on-one lessons to help for the scene. It was SO fun. I learned a lot from him! He's the best! I should probably give him a thank-you sticker...

Best wishes,

Mabel <3

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Pickledoesthetumbling,

I don't usually have much trouble when it comes to acting due to my lengthy experience in the film industry. But, I would have to say that the hardest episode to act for was "Dipper and Mabel vs. the Future." Usually, I'm able to detach myself from the other cast members and get deep into the role, but the idea of saying something that was supposed to break Mabel's (the character's) heart when she acted so similar to, well, the actor her was just...

...

It — It took a little longer than it normally would have to get into character for the scene. I don't want to talk about it anymore, nor do I have to. Please don't be like other "fans" and choose to respect my privacy. We're not just people acting for your entertainment — we're real human beings, just like you. I shouldn't have to state that.

Sincerely,

Mason

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Pickledoesthetumbling,

In all honesty, the answer came to me right away — like a dream! Except it's not a dream, since it's the hardest episode I found to act for, heh... Uh, proceeding on, the episode I had the worst time acting for was "The Hand That Rocks the Mabel". Funny, considering that it was my (character's) debut episode, isn't it? It was difficult for me for two reasons. One, it was my first ever time acting with a main role, so I put a teensy bit of pressure onto myself to be perfect. Not too much, but still some. And, two, I — from time to time — got a bit weirded out from the lines and actions I had to act out. Gideon's a lil' creep. I knew this already, of course, but I still got slightly uncomfortable when I finally had to act like one. It's different knowing something about a character beforehand than having it actually play out in front of your eyes. 'Specially if you're the one playing it out. But, I digress.

Best regards,

Deon

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Pickledoesthetumbling,

Thank you for question. I hope that my answer doesn't disappoint, but I can't really think of an episode I had the hardest time acting for, dude (neutral). Like, I had a pretty chill time acting for all of them. Sure, I may have had a little bit of a trouble once in while, but nothing that really stands out. Y'know what I mean? Kinda like when you get all of your dream presents and you're asked to pick a worst one out of all of them. You can't really decide — you feel the same about all of them, but in a positive way. Uh, so yeah. Still, thanks for asking!

Cheers,

Alza (or "Alzamirano" for formality?? Not entirely sure on how to do this, dude...)

P.S. should I have maybe written that extra bit as a "P.S."?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Pickledoesthetumbling,

I took the moment to think deeply about the question before writing my reply, and I can confirm that I indeed have one! For me personally, I reckon that the episode I had the hardest time acting for was the "Gideon Rises" one. I will be the first one to admit that I'm a huge klutz. Whenever we had to shoot that one scene where I was building Gideon his ginormous robot, I would keep slipping, or dropping stuff, or just straight messing up. We had to do...what? Ten retakes? I don't remember the exact amount. Not that I've developed memory problems like my character, heh. Remembering a specific number just wasn't my top priority.

Respectfully,

Hadron

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Pickledoesthetumbling,

Ooh~! Interesting question. You don't have the intention of stirring up drama, do you? Ah, I'm just messing with you. Haha! Of course you do! Who doesn't? That's why there's an entire genre for it: People crave tragedy and melodrama. Why, it's a fact about society at this point. Why else do you think there are so many angsty fanfictions on WattPad and Ao3? Because people enjoy watching other people suffer!

Oh, and just to clarify, I'm not one of those people. Cross my heart and hope to die, stick a cupcake in my eye (Pinkie Pie, no one could understand your greatness). Sure, I thrive in the chaos and perhaps may cause some of it from time to time, but when it comes down to the serious stuff? Like bad things happening to real people? I'm not going to stand by and make it my own form of entertainment like everyone else.

...

Oh, that got depressing quick, didn't it? My apologies I'mnottrulysorry! Anywho, back to the reason why I'm writing this whole thing — the hardest episode for me to act for? Well, kid, I'll tell ya. It would have to be "Weirdmaggedon 3: Take Back the Falls". That episode was the main time I struggled out of all of the times I acted for the series. And let me tell you, it was smooth sailing with very little sea monsters threatening the peace when working on the show.

To be more specific, the scene in the Fearamid's Penthouse with Ford was the one I had a difficult time with. Trust me, there's nothing I like more than a challenge, though! Some technical difficulties were overdue after such easy workload and I was prepared for them. Totally. 100%! You better not doubt any of what I'm saying because it's all very much true and if you do you're stupid (jk, I'm sure you're smart if you rightfully have interest in people like me). There definitely was no extra tension between the two of us, and I definitely did not want to bolt the room the moment we were forced to stay onto the same set together. And I definitely did not think back to those days when we met each other in secret. Nor did I remember the twinkle in his brown eyes when he looked at me like I was worth something, stirring up feelings within my heart. I especially did not think of how much I missed him, of how much I regretted our (my) decision to part ways.

Aside from that, everything was a breeze! Acting was — what's the phrase? Oh, yes! Easy peasy lemon squeezy! After all, an actor as talented as moi barely ever has a hard time with the art he perfected.

Yours,

William

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Pickledoesthetumbling,

Ha! You wanna know the episode I had the hardest time acting? You wish. Sure, the question itself may come from innocent motives, but one thing I learned is that if you give the public an inch, they'll take a mile. I reveal what episode was the most difficult for me and why and the information will be spread all across the internet — like a weed growing in a garden! Then, it'll become one big game of telephone where the information gets abridged and summarized and translated to the point where it's phrased entirely differently with some people's personal thoughts added to the mix as if I spoke them aloud. After that, either it's used to turn me into some meme — damaging my reputation and self-worth, but don't tell Ford that — or it'll be used to fuel some controversy or type of slander that only those type of people are capable of coming up with. So, sorry, but I ain't got anything for ya. Try again next time.

Goodbye,

Stan

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Pickledoesthetumbling,

I compliment you for both your curiosity and decision to take matters into your own hands in order to discover some answers for yourself. Not many people have the confidence to inquire with me about such a subject (though I am absent of any clue why), so I shall reward you for your boldness with an answer.

After thoroughly pondering my many experiences acting for scenes from the show, I have come to a firm and definite conclusion. I can say with absolute certainly that the episode I had the most difficult time acting for was "Weirdmaggedon 3: Take Back the Falls" due to the existence of the Penthouse scene between William and I. I'm sorry to disappoint you in such a manner, but I refuse to give an explanation as for why. It's a personal matter that brings me much discomfort every time my mind thinks of it.

Thank you for your understanding.

Cordially,

Dr. Ford

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(I'm sorry that this took so long. I ended up being very busy today. I'm planning on eventually writing a fanfic for this AU once I get to the final part of the "Meet the Cast!" series and one of the chapters delves into how William and Ford felt acting out that one scene. Thank you so much for the ask!)

Bill: "So, Frills, just wanted to double check. How do ethical beings feel about murder?"

The Axolotl: "It's frowned upon."
