Stanford Pines: "Life lesson, kids: adventuring is tough. Ya know, sometimes there's a cursed muse that turns out to be a demon."

*Attempts to fix an issue with the Quantum Destabilizer with a tool*

"Or sometimes you get sucked into a portal and TRY to stay alive, but a one-eyed triangle messes EVERYTHING up, keeping you here while your grand-niece and nephew grow up with their grand-uncles—"

*The tool snaps in half from the fast, tense movements, and he grits his teeth; holding the object up to inspect it disapprovingly*

"But you still got your health, a 'cool' metal plate, and tattoos that mock you every time you dare to undress!"

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')

Bill: "Yo. I've been talking to Ford for a couple of weeks, and I think I'm ready to ask him out."

Fiddleford: "I mean, yeah, that's cool that you wanna go out with him, but I heard that he only likes guys with blonde hair, like—"

*He blinks and all of a sudden Bill is a guy with extremely blonde hair*

Fiddleford: "..."

Fiddleford: "Bro..."

Bill: "I'm — I'm just chilling."

Fiddleford: "Bill, how are you gonna change your entire self...for a guy, bro—"

Bill: "Bro..."

*Bill taps the southern man on the shoulder and points into the distance where Stan is walking up next to Ford*

Bill: "He has a twin...brother."

*Fiddleford now has hair so blonde and bright that it's capable of blinding the eyes of passerby*

...

Fiddleford: "See, that's a different story."

Bill: "That's what I'm trying to say!"

—Presenting "Actor Falls" AU—

So, as far as I am aware, no one has done an actor AU solely for Gravity Falls. Orxinus and Fazfuri do have a collab actor AU, however it's based off of their AU's exclusively and not the show itself. So, I decided to become the (maybe) first one to create one for Gravity falls.

General Gist:

My AU "Actor Falls" is set within a "Who Framed Roger Rabbit"/"Once Upon a Studio" type universe where humans and toons act together to create cartoons and fictional entertainment. Dipper, Mabel, Stan, Fiddleford, Ford and the rest of the human cast of Gravity Falls are, well, humans. Bill, the henchmaniacs, and all of the other supernatural creatures, meanwhile, are toons — cartoon characters who exist as real people in the world. They are all employed by the company Disney to work on the series.

Stanley and Stanford are biological, identical twins (just like how they are in the series), while Dipper and Mabel aren't actually related. They didn't know each before being cast with their roles, but quickly developed a close bond as if they were genuinely siblings. Bill and the Axolotl also don't have powers of any sort; the amphibian isn't truly a god, and two-dimensional triangle isn't a dream demon.

Background Information:

In order to avoid weirdness, I'm not going to include any of the people who genuinely worked on the show in my AU. Instead, GF was written by Mickey Mouse and Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. They decided to project the evolution of their brotherly bond and relationship into the story — Mickey unintentionally ruining Oswald's chance for success, causing an accident that destroyed his brother's life, Oswald resenting him for decades, and the two of them coming together in order to defeat a threat larger than life. Everything that happened in "Epic Mickey" actually occurred, and Mickey had the game created out of the events in order to restore Oswald's heart by reintroducing him to the public. They won't be the focus of the AU, but they're still part of it as the writers of Gravity Falls in-universe.

In-Depth Details:

Originally, they were just going to have Stan act as a double for the mysterious other twin in the story and green-screen an extra pair of fingers on. That was until Stan told them that – conveniently — he had a twin with polydactyly. He discussed the idea of becoming an actor for the series to Ford and he was hesitant about it at first, unsure of how well of one he would be. However, with some encouragement from his brother and reminders that his acceptance would benefit everyone, Ford ultimately ended up agreeing to the role.

Unfortunately, once he started working he found out that Bill also happened to be an actor for the series. They're canonly exes in this AU. They used to date in secret because of the strong public hate towards human/toon relationships. But, in the end, the lingering guilt of doing something so 'wrong' caused them to break up. They still long for the other, but will never openly admit it. Not yet, at least.

The two of them have a mutual, silent agreement to keep their romantic past hidden, in fear of wrecking their reputations. Bill is better at masking his disdain and remaining love, since he's a professional actor, but Ford struggles, being the newbie. This ends up causing rumors and gossip about the two of them currently dating. This certainly isn't helped by their dymanic in the show and how they seem to put extra emotion into certain scenes.

Question for the blog head, Minerva!

Will your actor falls au eventually be on ao3? I'm very intrigued by it, but unsure if the story will be playing out in tumblr asks or in a fanfic. (The roger rabbit setting? Toon x human drama and secret exes likely pining? Stan being a flirt to Hadron? Stan and Ford still brothers? Gideon's actor being nice?) Sign me up to read it because it sounds fascinating!

So, it most likely won't be on ao3 because my personal account is going to also be the one I use for the Catholic school I'm going to be attending come next year. However, I WILL be turning it absolutely into a fanfic. I don't know if you read the last part of my latest ask, but once I finish writing the final part of my "Meet the Cast!" series, I'm going to start writing my fanfic for the AU and post it to Tumblr. I have a several ideas for the AU I fully plan on turning into a reality via storytelling. I'll still be doing the letter, rp-style asks alongside the fanfic because I find them fun to write. I hope that you don't mind sticking around even though the fanfic will be limited to Tumblr.

Thank you for your ask! 💖

Yep, this is my new headcanon for Stan now. Filbrick would have absolutely given Stanley this as his middle name. It would have gone like this:

Nurse: "Alright, so we've got Stanford's name settled. What about the other twin's? His first name?"

Filbrick: "Stanley."

Nurse: "..."

Nurse: "Very...creative, I see. Though, I suppose matching names are quite common for twins. Middle name?"

Filbrick: "Also Filbrick."

Nurse: "..."

Nurse: "You — You know, you probably should give them different middle names. I get that they're twins and all, but they should still have their own sense of identity—"

Filbrick: "I did."

Nurse: "...You did what?"

Filbrick: "Are you deaf? I said I did give him a different middle name! It's 'Also Filbrick.'"

Nurse: "..."

Nurse: "Alright then. Stanley Also Filbrick Pines it is..."

DEAR GRAVITY FALLS FANDOM: @songforten AND I HAVE A PROPOSAL.

Transcript under cut:

quantumshade: “not like he can judge. guy who doesn’t have a canon middle name but fanon ones include things like “danley” “caryn” “also filbrick” and the like

Cosmo: HELP I HAVENT SEEN “ALSO FILBRICK” BEFORE

Cosmo: STANLEY ALSO FILBRICK PINES

Cosmo: THATS REALLY FUNNY

quantumshade: LMAOOOO i meant that he just had the same middle name as ford but now that I think about it.

quantumshade: this is canon to me.

Cosmo: It’s Also Filbrick now.

Cosmo: Filbrick Pines would do that

quantumshade: he would

quantumshade: he’d say it to whoever was writing on the brith certificate and not correct them when they write the “also”

I'm exposing all of you.
