invisibletinkerer said: Conversely, would this make Vriska a Trickster God?

Hm. Some of the characteristics you sometimes seen with tricksters in myth are

anti-authority, tend to violate the existing social order (and sometimes then remake it)

boastful, proud, sometimes undone by hubris

often clever but not necessarily wise

impulsive, motivated by urges rather than thought

good talkers who can work their way out of a situation but just as often make enemies and cause as many problems as they solve

fond of mischief, trickery, and theft

So I think you could say she hits on several of the notes seen in this archetype. John also follows some of the mythic trickster archetypes, skewing toward a more benevolent version like the ones who have a hand in setting up the world. 

#invisibletinkerer #John is more a Hermes than a Loki #if you're hewing closely to the 'homestuck as creation myth' thingy #i could see Vriska and John's mythological roles getting kinda bundled up #possibly as different facets of the same trickster entity #the friendlier and less friendly ones #Terezi would obviously get tied in too somehow but not necessarily as the same person per se

An interesting/horrifying thought: If the Festival was intended to burn out excess emotion repressed at other times, and thus was the result of Landu dropping his control for a night - doesn't that mean that the population would have gone berserk after Landru was defeated? (Or perhaps it was lucky that it happened immediately after a Festival...?)

Now there’s a bit of fridge horror for you indeed.

I’m not gonna say that my theory is actually supported by the episode, just that if you were going to change the episode to include an explanation it wouldn’t take much editing to make it that one, but if one were to go with that explanation I would say that yes, Festival having just happened would have been very lucky indeed for everyone involved.

Honestly, whatever the reason for Festival, I can’t imagine there wouldn’t be a fair bit of running berserk among the populace after Landru was busted, even if maybe not to the level of Festival. That’s the kind of massive societal upset that usually gets you riots already, but coming from a society that has literally no experience with handling negative emotions or violent impulses? That’s a recipe for a bad time. Not to mention the sheer rush of even being able to feel those emotions and act on them after a lifetime of forcible suppression would probably be irresistible to a lot of people. Realistically that town probably would have been in a pretty nasty state of chaos for at least the immediate aftermath of Landru’s defeat if not for a while longer.

Although Lindstrom does report quite a lot of fights breaking out down there in his final report (not that he seems very concerned about it), so make of that what you will.

invisibletinkerer replied to your post “Question for you lovely people: When looking at AO3 tags, would you...”

If it does have a happy ending, I would prefer "angst with a happy ending". Makes it easier for the reader to scratch the right fictional itch!

Thank you! I believe I’ll go with that, then.

Mmm, me too. I sort of want to try that game because it looks adorable, but I really don’t want to have to *date* the grunks? Guess it’s just not my genre (or yours).

Oh, thank goodness - yeah, you feel me, man. Sometimes with dating sims I feel like you can kinda squint and look past the romantic hints until later in the game when it really takes front and center.

I only just started playing it a half hour ago or so, but I’ll tell ya this - so far there’s been... mm hints. The writing has been really top notch though and the 4 pines voices come through super well!

And I mean obviously this is a dating sim, like i know what I’m getting into here and I’m not in any way scoffing at the romance in it because....it’s a friggin dating sim - but I do hope the romance stuff stays lowkey enough for me to comfortably play through a good chunk of the story here!

Next TMD Chapter Delayed

(and personal updates)

As much as I was hoping to have chapter 54 ready for tomorrow, it probably won’t be.

Honestly, I’ve been having a bad bout of apathetic depression for multiple reasons and can’t willpower through it right now. Mostly, all I can do is play ACNH and sleep a lot. As in, constantly feeling exhausted and falling asleep, like it or not, even if I’m up and actively trying to do something. That plus this overwhelming sense of not caring about anything, even things some part of me still wants to care about and hates myself for not caring. And, as much as I want to act like, “It’s fine. Things aren’t so bad. Other people have it worse. Why can’t I just get up and do something useful?” No. Things have been difficult and still are and it would probably be a miracle if I didn’t feel like this. That said, it is somewhat comforting to know there are personal reasons for it on top of all the UGH that’s affecting the world. (It’s not "why am I depressed?” It’s “a lot of things actually actively suck and have sucked for a long time and I’ve been through A Lot with very little in-person support and very few resources” depression. Also, just to mention it, there’s no danger of self-harm. I worked too hard to not die from chronic illness to mess that up.) 

But, on the side of things that are good: @orangeoctopi7, @invisibletinkerer, @hinatauryusen, @darylstorey, @eregyrn-falls, @ramblesanddragons, @artistic-arteries, @nicnacsnonsense, @goghsynesthetic, @neverposts-ace, @bill-beauxquais thank you so much for your support, advice, input, insights, opinions, ideas, help, and/or chatting with me! It has helped so much in getting this far and will continue to help once this has passed. Also thanks to everyone who regularly or sporadically leaves feedback on AO3 or reblogs my chapters here! It’s much appreciated!  Hugs to you all and I hope for the best for you in the new year!

Stanford falls through the portal in 1982, but is pulled back almost immediately. Stanley, meanwhile, struggles for 30 years to bring his brother back. Neither is reunited with the brother they expect.

I kno it’s messy, but I just had to draw something for this amazing fanfiction by @invisibletinkerer! It makes me feel so many emotions and I just want these boys to be happy TTATT

Gravity Falls Fanfic Recs!

This is the second year I’ve done this for Fanfiction Writers Appreciation Day, so I want to say that all the GF fics I recommended last year are still big faves! This list is just going to be about fics that are either new to me, or somehow slipped my mind last year, in order to keep this post at a reasonable length.

A Matter of Time by @pinesbrosfalls: Stan and Ford come across a town where time isn’t as it should be. 4 of 16 chapters, incomplete.

A Sticky Lich-uation by @marypsue: Ford becomes a lich to defeat Bill Cipher, featuring a TAZ Balance crossover. One-shot.

now you see it all by @apathetic-revenant: Wendy, Ford, and eventually the rest of the Pines family have some conversations after Weirdmageddon. One-shot.

Time Loop by @fordtato: Stan nearly freezes to death, but someone arrives to help just in time. One-shot.

In Search of Antidotes by @astriiformes: AU set in 1892 instead of 1982. 11 chapters, complete.

I Dreamt of Fire by @pinesbrosfalls: A beautifully written post-canon fic where Stan remembers what it felt like to have his mind erased. One-shot.

The Mind Cage by @pengychan: Ford puts the metal plate in his skull earlier than he does in canon, and Bill ends up trapped inside. 15 chapters, complete.

by the skin of your teeth by @apathetic-revenant: Ford is sick when Stan arrives at his house in ‘82. 10 chapters, complete.

An Outreached Hand by @dubsdeedubs: A Ghost Trick crossover that I love dearly despite having very little knowledge of Ghost Trick. The younger twins are cats, and if that doesn’t convince you to read it I don’t know what will. 7 chapters, incomplete.

30 Seconds Later by @invisibletinkerer: When Ford falls into the portal in 1982, he’s instantly trasported forward in time to 2012, where the world has moved on without him. (I could’ve sworn this was on my list last year, I don’t know how it slipped my mind!) 17 chapters, incomplete.

The Other Portal by @haberdashing: An AU where the Bottomless Pit sends items to Ford, wherever he is the multiverse. One-shot.

Quarantine Tag Game! I was tagged by @anistarrose <3

1. How has your day been?

Not bad. I don’t have a lot going on with work (what, with having to do things remotely), and what I do have to do, not gonna lie, I’ve been slacking a bit. But I’ve been doing okay. Staying home doesn’t really change a ton in my life outside of work, so not a huge adjustment for me. Played some Animal Crossing, just ordered some dinner. All in all, not a bad day.

2. What is the last thing that made you smile?

I was just scrolling through an Animal Crossing meme page, so there was some pretty funny stuff in there.

3. What’s keeping you entertained these days?

The new Animal Crossing game. I’ve never played before, so I’m having a blast! Also, been watching Star Wars The Clone Wars (which is great).

4. If you are in some kind of quarantine/self-isolation: is there anything you’d like to achieve in this time?

I would love to get another chapter of AMoT out, but I’ve been saying that for a while here so-

I mean, seriously, I want to get back into fic. Graduating, getting a 9-5 job, and then a lot of other stuff really just made finding the time and energy to write difficult, so I’m hoping to get back into it. Part of the reason I decided to try out charity commissions.

5. Post a selfie (if you’re comfortable with that)

Nah, I’m good.

6. last but not least: send this to some mutuals to keep the game going

No idea who has been tagged, so I’m just gonna throw some names here, and if you’ve already been tagged, then guess what you’re double-tagged (unless you’ve already filled it out, then I guess you’re free) (also no pressure if you don’t wanna do it)

Quarantine Tag Meme

tagged by @pinesbrosfalls and @invisibletinkerer!

1. How has your day been?

Doing okay. I haven’t had too much time to relax due to some overarching problems that were made way more complicated by covid. But I got some hopeful news about something that’s been hanging over my shoulders. Just really hoping it works out.

2. What is the last thing that made you smile?

This first look prank 😂

3. What’s keeping you entertained these days? I’ve been watching a lot of Game Grumps and Binging with Babish on loop to pass the time. I’m on Discord a lot more to keep in touch with peeps! Otherwise, looking to try and snag a Switch, but the shelves are pretty bare here :< 4. If you are in some kind of quarantine/self-isolation: is there anything you’d like to achieve in this time?

I’d love to get some writing and music done. My trip to Japan got derailed pretty quickly here, so I think it’d be great to spend some of this time focusing a little more on language studies for next year!

Besides that, I have a running list of things in my head (clean out my car, consolidate some files, etc) that are always building, it’d be sweet to knock out a few of those too.

5. Post a selfie (if you’re comfortable with that) 

my quarantinesona is not the prettiest i’ve ever been lmao, so in lieu of that here’s this cute picrew I did recently

6. last but not least: send this to some mutuals to keep the game goin

I’ll tag @witete @fexiled @fordanoia​ @superishs​ @archervale​ @howtotrainyournana​ and you reading this if you’re bored! (and you are)

[steamed-cogs]

Ask game! 2, 5, and 14 (Ma Yonker). Also, since I know you're working on a longfic or two, 25. :3

2. favorite character?

It's close between Rusty and Dot, but Rusty wins a little more. That's why I hurt them

5. favorite location?

That's a tough one. There's so many memorable locations. A lot of places I end up liking in games if only for the music, and this series is full of great songs! In Dig 1, I really enjoy Old World. Vectron is cool too, but I get annoyed by the lasers and exploding ones lol

Dig 2 is harder to pick just one or two. The music is stellar everywhere and the environments are so much fun! Oasis is probably near the top. The bittersweet, nostalgic theme, seeing where the remnants of humanity resides, how they've degraded... It's easy to feel pity for Rosie living here. I like all the little areas and details, like where you get the hookshot and see they're growing carrots underground, and the way you can break in through the sewer pipe. I love the atmosphere.

Also really enjoy Yarrow. And El Machino.

14. give us one random headcanon about [Ma Yonker]

Let's see... Ma Yonker is the oldest citizen of El Machino, and while her son is officially the mayor of the city, she's the unofficial leader of sorts. When someone needs advice, they go to her. She's a great confidante and never spills a secret. She's cool under pressure. However, she doesn't care to lead directly, hence why she's not the actual mayor.

25. if you write: share the last sentence from a steamworld fic that you've written

If you insist! Here's the last lines I've written of a few different fics I have.

Finally, Rusty lets out a heavy sigh. He sets his pickaxe over his shoulder. “You've prepared me, that's true,” he says. “I'm prepared to stop you.”

“It’s getting too crowded here for my liking,” Fen grouses. “When are you guys gonna expand again?”

In his peripheral, clawed fingers reaching out but not touching his arm. Blinking slowly, Rusty turns his gaze to his concerned friend, then back to the professor. She’s watching him with confusion, but her eyes look normal. “Is something wrong? Are you experiencing any negative effects?”

Chapter 48

New chapter!  (as of November 14, 2020)  

(Link will follow in an immediate reblog or find it under the username GinAndShatteredDreams or its title on AO3)

Overall synopsis (for anyone who is newly interested):

A Gravity Falls AU idea where, in 1982, Stan threw a rope to Ford as he was being pulled into the portal. He let go of his journal in favor of grabbing the rope and it was lost to Bill’s dimension. Stan had saved him and for that, he was grateful. They talked and forgave each other for the past and all seemed well for as much as a day. That was when Bill’s ruthless anger became apparent and he took full advantage of his deal with Ford. Thirty years later, the demon is still punishing them for their refusal to rebuild the portal.

Chapter Summary:

Bill checks in on another pawn and the Pines leave cracks in someone's delusions.

Notes:

Warnings - Bad parenting and monster anatomy things? IDK what to call it but it's nothing the show wouldn't do and it involves Bill's eye also being his mouth. Apologies in advance for this being an interlude chapter/segue from the main plot after a bit of a wait but this fits fairly well timeline-wise here.

Special thanks to @hinatauryusen​, @eregyrn-falls​, @ramblesanddragons​, @nicnacsnonsense​, @orangeoctopi7​, and @invisibletinkerer​ for helping me get back on track again!

Fanfiction Writer Appreciation Recs

I’ve seen a bunch of people doing these, and i really wanted to too. I may be late to the party here, but I hope I can point you towards some cool stuff to check out. Most of what I read in the fanfiction circle is Gravity Falls, so this post is mostly just multi chapter fics from the Gravity Falls fandom! I might do one for one-shots, and I’m sorry if I forget any major ones, but this is what immediately comes to mind that I highly recommend.

Stanswap by @orangeoctopi7

Reverse Portal AU at it’s best! The Reverse Portal AU was popular for a while (almost on par with Blind Faith) and a lot of people tried to grab onto the idea, but after all this time, it just seems to have left a lot of incomplete works in it’s wake. That is not the case here. It’s still going, but it shows no sign of stopping until it tells it’s entire story. And this story has been insanely detailed and well executed. Retelling almost the entire series as if Ford was the one taking care of the kids, and the dilemmas he faces with the fact that Stan is stuck on the other side of the portal. Not to mention most of the jokes are on point with something you’d hear in Gravity Falls. The author is someone I am proud to call my friend, and that all started when this fic was recommended to me.

30 Seconds Later by @invisibletinkerer

A pretty recent one that i really hope gets more attention. I’ve seen people do fanart and stuff of Ford being the same age as when he got sucked into the portal, while his home dimension and Stan aged, but I didn’t really see much potential for a full story in that idea. That changes with this fic, which again is still ongoing, but updates fairly regularly. The interactions between the Grunkle Stan we know and love and a Ford who is still fresh from his sleep deprived paranoia days, and still susceptible to Bill’s possession brings so much engaging conflict that i cannot get enough of!

My Demons by @kazriku

An oldie but a goodie. This one is basically a Mystery Trio story that focuses mostly on Stan and Ford, and the first chapter was written before A Tale of Two Stans came out. Adjustments were made after that episode came out, but this fic is very much telling it’s own story on how the Stans became so distant, and the incident that lead to Ford being trapped on the other side of the portal. Filled with mysterious suspense and some entertaining brotherly bonding, even if it hasn’t updated in a while, if we’re talking about fanfics I appreciate, there was no way i couldn’t include this one. It was the first major GF Fanfic I read from the person who would become my first mutual, and chances are this fic lead to me reading all the ones you see here!

By the skin of your teeth by @apathetic-revenant

I didn’t realize just how popular this one was until today, but it deserves it. It’s so good! When Stan gets into his argument with Ford after Ford calls him for the first time in 10 years, he realizes that something's wrong with Ford. He’s very sick and his house is a wreck. There is so much tension and angst in this one as Stan puts the pieces together about what’s been going on with his brother, and Ford continuing to fight what seems like a losing battle. There’s a happy ending, but it takes quite a bit to get there, and it is glorious!

And Then There Were Three by @kalajorn

I’m just going to say it. This is one of my favorite Mystery Trio stories. Ever! With an author who I think really is under the radar in the community. Mystery Trio is probably my favorite AU for Gravity Falls, but depending on who you ask, it either got stronger or weaker once A Tale of Two Stans came out. For me, it only got stronger, and this fic is an excellent example of why. I adore the scenario presented here of how Stan and Ford eventually reunite. How there is some spark of their connection as brothers still there, but there are still forces interfering with that, and using the material from canon to build some great tension. Updates take some time, but i promise you it’s worth it. This story only gets more engaging with each chapter and i’m hoping it’ll stay that way.

A Little Bit Lost by @impishnature

Impish is really a beacon of life for the GF fandom. Regularly producing high quality content of all kinds. I could have put any number of her stories on here. If you miss Gravity Falls, and you want to reminisce about it over a weekend, scroll through her AO3. You’ll find a lot to enjoy. But one of my personal favorites is this compilation of fics surrounding the Feral Ford AU. An AU that vanished as quickly as it arrived. I was even going to write something small on it, but i just never got to it. Anyway, these stories of a paranoid, almost animalistic Ford from what trauma he faced on the other side of the portal is just so powerful. Every idea has a new obstacle. Sometimes it’s comforting. Sometimes it’s heartbreaking. But there’s always something to grab your attention and not let go. I come back to these a lot, and they are always a great read.

I’d also recommend her Mystery Trio fic Phobos, but that one hasn’t updated for a while. But I still really like it so here ya go!

Maybe it’s Not Too Late by @rum-and-shattered-dreams

Why was this one so hard to find? It’s awesome! One of the reasons I’ve dived so deeply into Gravity Falls fanfiction more then any other fandom I’ve been in, is because even after the official shows credits rolled, it still left us with so much potential for what other adventures were out there. And this is one of the best examples of that. It’s a great, insanely engaging post series adventure involving pretty much the entire main cast and the return of the Shapeshifter, with Fiddleford and Ford as the main focus. Yes, it is partly a Ship Fic, which I’m not crazy about, but I don’t really find it distracting. There is so much in this story, and the shipping is just another element of it. And FiddAuthor is one of the ships I tolerate more, so I don’t really mind that much. The rest is just too dang good!!

Better Kept Secret by BadonKaDank

Another one that nearly alluded my radar until a friend mentioned it to me back when it had just completed, and I’m glad they did because this story is AMAZING! Having someone from one of the boys’ past come back for revenge is another premise that was circulating for a while that I freaking adored!! There were a few good pieces of writing out there on this (and even a comic currently going on), but this fic is at the top of the chart for me. Filled with drama, action, intense and suspenseful moments, it’s one that really stuck with me that i can’t believe I almost missed. 

Goodnight Stanley by Kitsunesocks

I haven’t seen many people mention this one, and while it may not be the most angst filled story involving the Stan Bros, it’s still a great one. Without giving too much away, while Stan and Ford are getting ready to head back to Gravity Falls, they discover that Bill might not be entirely gone, and that he may be plotting a way to come back right under their noses. Despite how common it is, this is a premise I’ve never been crazy about. I think @thesnadger Axolotl is the only story like this to engage me past the first chapter. Except this one. This is a great adventure of a story. The pacing is excellent and the characters are on point. Some of the most accurate I think I’ve seen in a Gravity Falls fic. I especially appreciate how proactive Dipper and Mabel are in this story. A lot of fics like this tend to push them to the side to make room for the Stans. But this story makes good use of everyone involved. It’s not the most emotionally driven story out there, but it’s one of the most well put together stories I’ve seen in a GF fic.

Blind Faith by @pinesinthewoods

Oh my God! This one! I originally wasn’t going to include this one because I know the author is no longer active in the fandom, but again, appreciation post. And this story deserves to be appreciated no matter what. You all know this AU, where Stan and Ford both wind up on the other side of the portal, and have to face the horrors on the other side together. Blind Faith was already fairly popular at this point, but this story propelled it to something else. Something stronger. Something with depth. Leaving you with chills as you finish every chapter. Aside from My Demons, this is probably the first fanfic I was checking for updates on, daily. This brought many new ideas to the AU that you still see in the occasional new content today, and that is something truly special. This is from yet another author who I am proud to call a friend, and it’s weird to think that back then, I was just a fan of something a lot of other people were. I’m sure most of you have read this one, but if you haven’t, go read it! It’s one of the best out there.

Stanley McGucket by @thelastspeecher

This is the sort of fic I don’t normally care for. Tons of original characters and a lot of shipping. That’s not a bad thing, it’s just not for me. But the premise was just too intriguing to resist. The idea of Stan being offered a job from Fiddleford’s parents and basically becoming an honorary member of the McGucket family is a really endearing premise. And when certain characters reunite or put the pieces together about who they are to each other, it really gets the ball rolling. You’re just waiting to see how everything will turn out, and it’s a pretty great ride. I followed this story and it’s expansions for a while. Then it branched into multiple AUs on it’s own and it just got way too confusing to keep up with the tag. But the main story is still a enjoyable ride from a type of fic that usually doesn’t grab me. But it had an interesting idea that pulled me in, and followed through on it. Welcome to the McGucket Family Tree Stanley

Amnesia by @ducksalive

Okay, yeah. This one isn’t technically a Gravity Falls fic. But I’m really into Ducktales right now and i was running out of Gravity Falls stories. So yeah, I’ve started diving into Ducktales fan fiction. Even wrote one of my own which you should definitely check out. Please? There’s not much out there that’s grabbed me as much as these other stories yet (if anybody knows any good Fenton Crackshell-Cabrera/Gizmoduck stuff out there, let me know), but something about this one had my attention. 

I’m one of those people who is immediately intrigued by amnesia stories but the reason most people aren’t is because of how often they can go wrong. So far, that’s not the case here. In this story, Donald is the one with amnesia, and Glomgold finds him and convinces him that he’s his uncle, and that Scrooge is the enemy. From there it’s a race to try and help rescue Donald from a trap he doesn’t even know he’s in. While Donald constantly suffers for it. If you’re the type of person who likes family angst (which chances are you do if you’re a fan of any of the above fics) then you’ll get a kick out of this. Every time you think the family is going to get Donald back, Glomgold manages to snatch him away. And realizing just how far he’s willing to go to keep Scrooge’s nephew on his side is just shocking. This is another story that’s still ongoing, so there’s no telling how this will conclude yet, but at the moment, I am very emotionally invested in this one.

Over the last couple of years, I’ve gotten way more into fanfiction then I ever would have imagined. I never looked twice at it before, but now I’ve been a spectator to many creative stories, the authors of some of my favorites have become some of my closest friends, and I’ve even written a couple myself. I may be late to the actual day, but I hope this shows my appreciation for all the fanfic writers above and a few dozen I’m probably forgetting at the moment.
