Saw De-aged Stan Stuff And Wanna Join The Ford Realizing Stan Was A Baby When He Was Kicked Out Bandwagon

In the echoing remnants of Weirdmageddon, Mabel had one question for herself:

Was she a good person?

Sure, the whole unicorn 'pure of heart' thing was a farce. And, sure, her Mabel Bubble was classic Bill Cipher manipulation. But if she hadn't given the rift to him--- if she hadn't been so selfish---

Mabel wasn't scared of Bill coming back (she didn't doubt the powers of Stan's punches) and she wasn't scared of 'the next big bad' like Dipper was. She wasn't even scared of her Grunkles going off to sea--- she knew they would come back. She was scared, in the way a child can be, of herself. She wanted to be a good friend, a good sister, a good niece, a good person. She wanted to be so golden-hearted that no one could convince her into doing something so selfish again. Her time after Bill is the time, she determines, to reinvent herself into something better.

She starts to give up parts of herself, in order to serve others better. All of her knitting projects must be gifts to others, so she stops wearing sweaters herself. Ducktective was her favorite show, so she stops watching it. Forcing others to look at her crafts is selfish, so she hides them, doesn't share them, eventually stops making them. Mabel dissolves into a shell of herself, because she's trying to become something better. Loud, bright, colorful Mabel helped start Weirdmageddon, so she had to die. She doesn't share her fears or her nightmares, because that would selfish, but sometimes she dreams that they all just left her in her Bubble to rot away, and the world was better for it.

The kids are visiting the Shack at the same time the Grunkles are rolling into port, so it should be loud and chaotic and covered with glitter, but it's not--- Stan has never been so unnerved. He finds Mabel on the porch, but it's not the Mabel he knows--- reading quietly, wearing all black, eyes pinched and tired. She smiles when he sits next to her, but it's a dim smile. Stan's heart hurts

"Mabel," Stan says, his voice gruff, but not gruff enough to hide his concern, "The parts of my life where I was my worst, my meanest, my saddest? Those were the days when I pretended to be something I wasn't." He holds up a lumpy pink and purple sweater he learned to knit just for her, because he was a good Grunkle, dammit. "Pumpkin, I think we need to have a talk about guilt."

You’ll be okay, friend <3

It’s 5 am and I’ve been up 2 hours and I have the thought of Ford dimension hopping for 30 years again.

30 years is a fucking long time. 30 years ago, I was still in my mom’s womb and while I don’t remember a whole lot of my early childhood (and I’m pretty sure I did jack nothing for the first three), just the thought it’s about to be 30 years for me to reach the age of 30 just put me in a bit of perspective in a way.

Also, I got bored and did this.

Just to emphasize even more to Ford’s being stuck in the multiverse and Stan working painstakingly in that Godforsaken portal for 30-fucking-years!!

I like to think there's at least one person in the Gravity Falls universe that's obsessed with lost media and old telephone product commercials. Imagine someone updating the lost media wiki on StanCo products and commercials. Trying to link all the different identities of Stan Pines. Only to find out he died in a mysterious car crash that left no body? Imagine the drama, the niche YouTube videos. The concerns for this person who's oddly obsessed over a decade old scam company.

please look at my new stupid child thank you

Mabel is just as smart as her brother she just doesn't like showing it off. She also likes to be underestimated by others sometimes.

So imagine Ford absolute confusion when Mabel walks in and See's both Ford and dipper struggling with some equations.

Mabel: you forgot a two and that should be squared not divided.

Dipper in the know: oh thanks Mabel

Ford not in the know: blue screens. Looking at Mabel's eyes to make sure she is not possessed( see she is not) and turns back to the equation absolutely dumbfounded on what just happened.

Ford later See's Mabel trying to dress and makeup a feral raccoon.

Ford......?????????

I feel like i'd remind Ford even more Bill, Bill who would be able to correct calculations and matched him in intelligence...and then do insane bullshit.

may I add that he lost in the semifinals to none other than STANLEY PINES

the book of bill is great
