GOOBERS

(old art) a gravity falls comic from september 2022: "sleepover"

i debated on whether i even wanted to put this on my new blog since the formatting + text is hard to look at and the quality is godawful (not by accident either. for some reason i just drew it that way) plus i don't like how it looks overall anymore. but i'm still proud of the writing and i know a lot of people appreciated this comic in the past, so i may as well post it again :)

15 more pages under the cut!

LETS MAKE THIS INTO A JOKE PLS LIKE THE JD/SLUSHIE SHIT OR SM LIKE THAT.

Idk what got into me, but I have a new Heathers crackship(maybe not so crackship) idea. STONER CHICK X VERONICA. Ok guys, hear me out. After i saw this clip:

I went nuts thinking about a way these two could be gay and happy and idk why I am giving sm personality to a heathers ensemble character, she doesn't even have a name???? Wtf me???

and idk then somehow be gay with veronica after the party, like the JD accident or smh like that where she accidentally goes into her window and they smoke and fuck or idk man

How would we call it? Vestoner? Stonerica? Idk man. some fucked up fanart lol

maybe gave me an idea for a drawing..

uhh chat this is for an art thing me and the pookie (@/therefore-it-was) are working on. pick one!

if you think a different heather would be white diamond, check the reblogs or scroll down!!!

i kind of want to make stickers or keychains

Bodoque...

Do you think Ford knew how old he was when he came back? Because I don't think so.

He's been all around the multiverse, in places that definitely didn't follow the laws of physics of his home dimension. Time works differently depending on the place he lands on, and he never gets used to any of them because he knows he'll have to leave sooner or later.

So time passes. He can feel himself age, of course, but he doesn't know how long it's been since he fell through the portal. When he looks at himself in the mirror, he can see wrinkles paired with new scars, and his hair is getting grayer, but that could simply be a sign of stress. And sure, his body hurts when he wakes up, but he's constantly on the move and sleeping anywhere he can, obviously he's not going to be in the best shape! All things considered, he's a pretty fit man for any age, and whatever years he's been alive for is not his priority right now.

When he comes back home, after his first encounter with Stan, he finally gets a moment to think about his new and old family. His brother looks older, obviously, and certainly different from what he imagined (not that he thought about him often, of course not). His hair is whiter than his own, and he has even more wrinkles than him! Just how badly was he taking care of himself in the... how many years... wait, did he say 30?!

I don't think Ford was necessarily thinking of a higher or lower number. I don't think he expected anything more or less: the way he sees it, it could've been anywhere from 10 to 1000 years. Time was meaningless between dimensions. I think that the sole reminder that time still passed was what got to him.

That shock came full force after Weirdmageddon, when he realized that Stan was his same age, despite the differences in their physiques. It was the fact that they were both around 60 years old, and they had been apart for 40 years. Two whole thirds of their lives. They were supposed to grow old together, maybe not in the same house (or boat), but close to each other. That, paired with how old and worn down Stan looks, Ford can't help but feel like he's now years younger than him, and he hates thinking about it because with the way Stan had been living for the last 40 years, just how much longer- no, stop, don't think about it.

Ford's paranoia turns into hypochondria, but towards his brother. This translates as Ford desperately trying to cut Stan's bad habits (such as alcohol and smoking), making sure he eats well (Ford can't cook for shit) and semi-forcing him to do some exercise. Stan is not on board with these measures, and he lets his brother know just that because he's being bossy and annoying and he would like to enjoy his amnesia in peace please. Ford is as stubborn as a mule, but eventually he gives up and just begs Stan to please consider some of his suggestions because he wants him to be better. Stan still refuses, but every once in a while Ford catches him doing some exercise by himself or ordering a non alcoholic drink, and it makes him happy.

When they return to Gravity Falls, the twins look the most identical they've looked since they were like 10: Stan's eyes have a shine that Soos had never seen before, and his new and improved posture makes him look taller, like the weight of the world had been lifted off of him. Ford, on the other hand, has a fuller face and body, his expression is now softer and somewhat kinder, and he walks much more carelessly, like he's strolling instead of marching.

Ford doesn't care how old he is anymore, because now he's growing old next to his brother.

i forgot that the journal confirmed that this deleted scene is still canon

Hey here's a reminder that you're allowed to publish unfinished fics and snippets of fics that you're never going to continue and you're allowed to abandon WIPs and you're allowed to orphan unfinished fics and ficlet collections and you never have to finish a single fic if you don't want to.

And there will always be someone who reads that unfinished work and is happy with it and feels glad that they read it even if it's never continued.
