So, as I've stated in my last post, I've began to write my final draft for the first chapter of my AU's fanfic. However, I added a "(?)" because I figured, knowing myself, there would most likely be a couple of things I would remove to add in. And I was correct. There was a portion I initially liked, but realized seemed so random in the chapter, so I removed it. However, I didn't just want to delete it altogether, so I'm posting it here. Enjoy!
TRIGGER WARNING: Panic Attack

Cut Content From My Fic:
When he first entered the elevator, he was extremely confident and optimistic about how his first impression would be recieved. Now that his thoughts had been given some time to simmer from the long ride, he couldn't help his worries piling up at the front of his mind. What if he messed up? What if he said something wrong and offended everyone there and he had no genius to blanket his fall, since intellect wasn't vital the acting industry? Or, furthermore, what if it turns out he's not at all the good actor Stan assured him he was and made an utter fool out of himself? He could just picture the headline: "Dr. Ford β Brilliant Scientist Turned Actor Laughingstock."
Oh, Moses, what was he thinking! He had to leave this elevator this instant, one way or another.
His fingers resumed the activity of tapping the shiny, metallic railing attached to and surrounding the glossy walls of the elevator β this time at a much rapid pace than before. (He hadn't even realized he had stopped.)
Tappity-tappity-tap.
His brown eyes scanned through the assortment of buttons, searching for something that would allow him to pause or stop the electrical contraction. It didn't matter what it did as long as it would save him from future humiliation.
Tappity-tappity-tappity-tap!
He couldn't go through with this. Moses, for someone so smart he was so stupid. Why did he ever think this was a good idea?
TAPPITY-TAPPITY-TAPPITY-TAPPITY-TAP!
Why did he decide to go through with this? Why did he decide to go through this? Whydidhedecidetogothroughwiththis? WHYDIDHEDECIDETOGOTHROUGHWITHTHIS?
TAPPITY-TAPPITY-TAPPITY-TAPPITY-TAPPITY-TAPPITY-TAPPITY-TAPPITYβ!

His entire body was frozen as still as a statue, yet it felt as if he was shaking and moving so much internally.
Fun fact about me: For some reason, I have a tendency to write my protagonists having mental breakdowns in the first chapter of my fics (original and fanfiction alike). Usually, it doesn't feel random and fits in quite well, since those first chapters also tend to be very dramatic and impactful on my protagonist's emotional state. Here, it doesn't work. Stan has already assured him he'll do fine. Sure, he still can worry and be anxious about his reception to everyone (I know I would *cough cough* anxiety disorder *cough cough*), but it doesn't feel too in character for Ford, especially at the moment. So, I'm deleting the scene.
Yeah, that would've been more lore-accurate, but Markiplier didn't know that when he originally said the meme π€·ββοΈ

Time to start writing on my fanfic for my "Actor Falls" AU! Since, I'm terrible at titles, though, I would appreciate any feedback possible.

Mickey: "We're going to a candy store?"
Gus: "What? No, it's night-time. Candy stores are closed."
Oswald: "We're gonna rob a candy store?!"
Gus: "Ugh..."

The Axolotl: "Now, there'll be no more interruptions, distractions, or side plots. Bill Cipher, is there anything further you'd like to say to the Court?"
*A piano, which was notably not there beforehand, is present with Bill sitting on its bench. He flexes his fingers before drifting them towards the white-and-black keys, playing the opening notes of a tune. He then turns to face the great amphibian expectantly*
The Axolotl: "Not in the form of a song."
*Bill's eye twitches in annoyance for a moment and he closes it to gain composure before opening it back up*
Bill: "I'm innocent."
The Axolotl: "Very well."
*They move to face the jury, opening their mouth for a second to speak before being immediately interrupted by a certain triangle continuing his statement while playing a melody on the piano*
Bill: "I'm so incredibly innocent that the word 'innocent ' should be written on my face. The 'i' would stand for 'I'm innocent.' The 'n' would stand for 'nothing wrong,' which is what I've done. The 'a' would stand forβ"
Ford: "That's not how you spell 'innocent.'"
Bill: "I'm sure spelling doesn't count."
The Axolotl: "Spelling counts."
*Bill's eye scrunches in annoyance at the frilled god and he does his best to side-eye them with his singular eye before placing focus back on his piano*
Bill: "Well, then 'innocent' should be spelled 'B-I-L-L' because that is how I plead!"
*The keys got louder with the pronunciation of each letter and he finished off with a selection of sweet notes, nodding in showmanship*

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! π
I don't want to reveal too much about my first chapter before it's officially finished and published, but I still want to share some of it. So, I screenshotted the part of it before the "Keep Reading" line β which is, admittedly, just the gist, but it's something.
I finally ended up starting to write my final(?) draft on Tumblr yesterday. FYI, I spent the time beforehand writing it on google docs and plotting out the chapter (and others to follow) in notes
*Upon the Pines family finding out that, somehow, someone stole from the Mystery Shack*
Mabel: "You know, I'm suprised we haven't heard from Grunkle Stβ"
*She's interrupted by Stanley all of sudden bursting into the room*
Stan: "WE'VE BEEN ROBBED?! Oh, the humanity! Give it to me straight, Sixer. How much did I β uh β we β uh β you lose?"

*Holly after showing up at Dr. Oddswell's house uninvited and unexpected demanding to meet the B-Bros in person*
Holly: "You said how I got your address?"
Bendy: ...
Boris: ...
