Song Of The Day!

aw your baby is adorable!

the baby:

song of the day!

I finally watched (part of) hairspray and all day this has been stuck in my head:

day 79- Good Morning Baltimore {Nikki Bolonsky • Hairspray}

its so good omg

guys I’m losing my marbles

so I finished tma the other day (no, I’m not ok 🥰) and I went looking for a playlist. I found a pretty good one, and one of the songs was “A Complete List of Fears Ages 5-28 (Approx)” and I literally had to check it wasnt a jmart fansong bc its so them 😭

Guys I’ve gotten two new hyperfixations and it’s so weird for both of em cuz like we got

The two who were dragged into something and died due to the actions of some fucker named Jimmy and the carelessness of their captain Curly. Daisuke was still a child when it took place he had no idea or experience for what had happened and the deaths of everyone could’ve been avoided if only Jimmy wasn’t a hateful and envious man, and Anya’s story is sad to due to curly not punishing Jim like he should’ve and put his comfort before her safety but even then she still managed to keep curly alive for 4 MONTHS with only a little amount of bandages and painkillers miss girl was a gift

And then we got “haha traumatized white men that got fucked over by a corporation and got possessed by a experiment they had, some guy that a crazy dude tried to marry and a dude who got fucked over by a cult that killed his wife I love them now”

does anyone want to see a lonelyeyes scene I wrote during spanish bc I was super bored? ofc they do!

(sorry if this a little ooc I was just bored and I wanted to write something and this was the first thing that popped into my head, also I’ve never written with them before lol)

{“Ah, Peter, good evening.” Elias didn’t look up from his paperwork when his husband (the divorce would be finalized in a week) appeared in his office. “Good evening Elias.” He didn’t elaborate, instead leaning on his husband’s desk and watching him work.

“Did you need something?” Elias glanced up as Peter shook his head. He watched as Peter reached out and gently trailed a hand over the lapel of Elias’ jacket. “This office of yours is so dusty,” Peter murmured. Elias chuckled. “Yes, I suppose so.”

There was a short pause before he added, “Are you doing anything tonight?” Peter seemed startled by the question for a moment before amusement overtook his annoyingly handsome features. “Are you asking for a date night?”

The shorter man’s eyes stayed on the paper in front of him and his voice was carefully level as he answered, “Not exactly, but something like that. I thought perhaps we could go for a walk. I know you enjoy them, Peter.” The captain was quiet for a moment before he replied, “Alright, yes. Sounds quite nice. Maybe if you’re lucky we’ll both get a meal.” Elias chortled darkly. “Yes, because asking people on the street for a statement will be such a good contribution to my already wonderful reputation.” Peter shrugged. “Well, you never know.”

He slid off the desk with practiced ease before looking back to his husband. He held out a hand, and Elias, having finally put his pen down, took it, allowing himself to be pulled to his feet. Peter pulled him a bit further than strictly necessary, until their chests were nearly flush. The captain closed the distance between them and gently pressed his lips to Elias’s before the latter took a small step back.

“Really, Peter? That was hardly necessary.” Peter gave him a small smile but didn’t deign to reply, instead leading them out of the office, towards the outside.}

thoughts?

I am listening! I am invested! Please yap about your au idea!!

AHHHHHHHHHIIWJHDIEHDIANRRUFIFBFIEBF HFHDB I GET TO YAP ABOUT THIS YAYYYYYY

ok so, I honestly don’t have much of an idea as to where exactly this would go, but just for the basics (which I’m mostly coming up with on the fly, I’ll be honest) here we go:

(this ended up being quite long so everything else is under the break, sorry!)

obviously, ford and bill were not always… separated, as it were. growing up and into his teens and early twenties it was just stanford pines, no “alter egos” or masks or anything of the sort (much as he would’ve loved to be able to hide who he was).

then, when he moved up to gravity falls and began his research, he began to realize that there were so many things that he wanted to do, couldn’t do, because of his reputation. he needed to keep his record clean because if he didn’t, he could easily have his grant money revoked, and any future opportunities in the pursuit of science dashed due to one small slip up. so, he began to look into, well, changing who he was, splitting himself, so to speak, as to be not one but two at the same time.

eventually, it worked somehow (probably through a potion, as jekyll uses in the original book), and he found himself as not just one, but seemingly two people in one body. there was the stanford pines most people knew, the eccentric, odd mad scientist that lived in the woods at the edge of town, and then there was another, completely new facade. bill cipher, named for his often frustratingly vague double speak and extreme use of overly complicated metaphors (yes I’m giving bill’s name a reason, it sort of annoys me that theres no reasoning for hyde’s name in the book but thats a rant for another day).

to begin with, bill seems content with simply switching back and forth at ford’s will, being the way for ford to kick back and let loose with no fear of the repercussions. at least, until ford begins to have trouble getting back to himself. thats when he begins to doubt the true intent of his other self, of bill. its around this time he calls fiddleford. the man may have studied engineering, but in this world he also knows a little something about psychology, and paired with his brilliant mind, ford’s very precise notes of the situation (ahem the journals ahem), and the fact that hes basically ford’s only friend, it felt like the best course of action.

of course, in actual gravity falls, ford does his best to hide bill from fidds but here bill is exactly why ford called him. anyone else would’ve called him crazy, tried to experiment on him or worse, but fiddeford would never do any of that and ford knows it (just to be clear, I do think that if I ever wrote anything for this au college fiddauthor would be heavily implied here).

fidds does his best to help but when bill goes on a rampage one night, going so far as to kill the heir to the northwest family, preston northwest, he knows ford is beyond fucked (just a heads up, the person bill kills being preston may change but idk, we’ll see if I ever actually come back to this au haha). the reason fiddleford originally makes the memory gun in this au isnt for himself, its actually to try and erase the memories of what bill has down from the townspeople’s minds. the only problem is that the next time they see bill all of the memories return and everyone is back at square one. its just too much for fidds, and he begins to turn the memory gun on himself in an attempt to get rid of the fear, pain, failure, and regret that helping his friend brought him.

ford on the hand is mortified by what hes done. I highly doubt that there would be a confrontation type scene, it would be closer to how the book goes, where ford quickly begins to be unable to switch between stanford pines and bill cipher. the au would probably “end” (as in if I turned this into a fanfic/comic/whatever the story would end there) with ford figuring out where stan is, calling and begging him to come up to gravity falls and help him, before ultimately turning the memory gun on himself and ridding himself of “bill” once and for all.

the only problem is that in order to remove bill, he has to remove stanford pines and all that he is as well. now, we all know how this goes in both the show and most aus; stan or ford or whoever it is that is possessed by bill erases themselves/has someone erase them, is weirdly blank for a bit but ultimately regains their memories. well here it… wouldnt work like that. bill(/hyde) is an integral part of ford(/jekyll), to remove bill(hyde) is to remove stanford pines (jekyll), theres no way around that. so, ford sort of ends up in that “blank slate” state for the rest of his life. he called stan prior to erasing himself because he knew stan would take care of him no matter what, and he was right. for the rest of their lives, stan takes care of his brother to the best of his abilities, and while they never get to sail the seas together, and some nights bring unimaginable sorrow for stan, knowing he’ll never speak to his brother again, despite the fact that very man sleeps just a few doors down the hall, they make it work. ford (or, well, whats left behind when you remove everything that makes a person who they are) sees that his blankness hurt stan but he cant do anything about it, and to begin with almost avoids stan, at least before they finally have a talk in which stan reassures “ford” that he’s sure whatever reason ford may have had for erasing himself, it was worth it.

as for fidds, well it mostly works out in a similar way to canon, he does eventually regain most memories but of course some bits are still fuzzy. the fuzzy bits are never fully recovered, as the one person who may have been able to fill in the blanks no longer exists, but fidds is still mostly alright.

the journals… sort of exist? but not in the way that they do in the show, and what does exist stan had from the very beginning. ofc the twins still have to deal with monsters and spooks and whatnot in gravity falls, just not anything that has to do with bill (which means that, of course, weirdmageddon physically cannot happen). at some point, dipper begins to insinuate that the weirdness of gravity falls might have something to do with “ford’s”… situation, which is when stan finally fully comes clean with all he knows about the situation. its not until fiddleford begins to regain his memory, however, that any of them learn the truth of what was going on.

oh yikes, I wrote a lot more for this than I meant to, whoops!

oh yeah, I’m naming this au the “Dr. Pines/Mr. Cipher” au for now, but if anyone has any better ideas or if thats already been used for something else, please let me know!

also, @aaabatteryy I LOVE MARINEFLAMES’ CONFRONTATION ANIMATIC, THAT WAS ACTUALLY WHAT I WAS REFERENCING WHEN I MENTIONED OTHER ANIMATIONS USING A SIMILAR CONCEPT TO THIS AU

oh, and I just want to say that I’ve never watched the musical so thats why this doesnt (intentionally) incorporate any elements of that.
