Remember This Trend? Seems Like Forever Ago… This Was For A Crossover AU I Had Starring Anti-Mable,

Just somw of the colored drawings I had in my latest sketchbook- One of them are of my own oc lore, while the others are for my gravity falls AU (I can’t stop drawing them ighsbfuen-)

Idk, i don’t color my drawings very often when it comes to doodle stuff lol

I thought it was silly- I feel like kid Stan gives off Calvin vibes tbh

Adventure Falls- The crossover that isn’t really a crossover that nobody asked for (It makes a lot of sense trust- I have a lot of lore for this John trust- I might draw the first chapter out just cuz I can-)

Anyone interested in knowing the story behind this cuz it’s def not what your expecting I assure you-

Good stuff right here, friend of mines work- Wonder what comes next?

Time Dilation: Gravity Falls AU

What if instead of Ford being sent through the multiverse he was sent through time?

Basically, this AU covers some Ford shenanigans and the events leading up to the Portal incident, as well as shows what Ford is doing in the present moment- I think it's some pretty fun stuff, so, I'm gonna post the first chapter here to see if anyone's interested! I'm almost done with chapter 2 (Which is the better chapter imo so far) but, I thought I'd post something about it here! (There will be a link to my Ao3 at the end!!!)

It had only been a couple of weeks since Stanford Pines had moved in to Gravity falls, he never thought he'd ever manage to find a place as perfect as this, it was everything he had dreamed of when his was a kid, and more.

He had just had his first encounter with the Gnomes, it was quite the scuffle, but he managed to defeat them, but not without getting a small bump his head. There were only about 4 or so. Perhaps they are short in population? It didn't matter all that much to him, just another addition to his Journal, like usual.

He had been on his way home through the woods, he had discovered more of the “weirdness” the deeper he went through these woods, so he made sure to always try and start the day with a nice hike in the mornings, sketching and writing his Journal along the way. 

Though, the gnomes were something new, the first type of “humanoid” and sentient being he had come across besides the townfolk.

That was till he saw a hooded figure in a slightly dark and tattered cloak, putting what appeared to be a letter into a mailbox…

In the middle of the woods.

Ford decided to ascertain the situation, before he was going to greet the stranger. 

He had never been one for social situations after all.

He watched as the mailbox seemingly came to life as shook, before simply opening its little flap on the front side. He watched as the hooded figure reached inside and pulled out what looked like a different piece of paper before reading it carefully. 

The figure almost immediately turned around and locked eyes with Ford, he cursed at himself, before making a break for it. Ford, (wanting to learn more about him and the mailbox) quickly gave chase to the figure. The figure was always one step ahead of him somehow and made a sharp right turn behind a large tree.

“Wait, don't leave!” Ford exclaimed as made the same sharp turn, and stopping dead in his tracks.

The figure was gone.

Seemingly without a trace as well, Ford had looked around for any clues of where the figure may have ran off to, but, there was absolutely nothing. He cursed at himself, before making his way back to the mailbox. 

Perhaps he could find more answers there? 

But, with what he had learned so far, it would probably just raise more questions than anything.

He made it back to the little opening in the woods, and walked up to the mailbox carefully. Out of curiosity, he ripped a small piece of paper from his journal, and wrote; “Hello?”

He stuck it in the mailbox, making sure to close the flap. He waited a few seconds, before it started to shake just as it had earlier. It popped open, with a new small piece of paper, with a very fancy ink seemingly printed on it. 

Ford looked at it carefully, attempting to examine the entire note before reading it. But the only thing it seemed to have wrote was “Hello” back.

Ah, a sentient mailbox, well, that was certainly new.

Ford made a note in his journal “Anomaly #54” and made a quick sketch of it in the lower right hand corner.

He got a new piece of paper, and wrote a quick introduction.

“Hello, my name is Stanford Pines, I am a scientist and researcher of gravity falls. Now, who might you be?”

Ford was never really much for pleasantries, always clear and straight to the point.

He stuck in the mailbox, before quickly getting a response.

“Yes, I know of you, Mr. Pines. As for me, many have called me a god, but I am simply here to provide Humanity with enlightenment and knowledge. You may ask me any questions you may have, and I will answer them.”

Ford whispered to himself; “Fascinating…” Before make another quick note in his journal.

Ford wasn't sure where to start, he wanted to test it before asking any pressing questions. He thought of his interaction with the gnomes earlier, and decided to ask a quick question to test his so called information skills.

He asked the mailbox who he fought earlier this morning, and the mailbox spat out with about 7 different names.

“Carl, Francis, Steve, Gerald, Bart, Jack, and Shmebulock. All of whom were gnomes, you however, only saw 4 of them, the other 3 were flinging rocks at you from above.”

Ah, so that's what that was, rubbing the bump on his head. 

He asked a few more random questions, and getting answers before adding them to his notebook. Seems the mailbox held a lot of knowledge, he'd definitely make sure to add this to his morning rounds.

He thought for a moment, before finally asking “Who was the hooded figure earlier?” 

“I cannot tell you at this time.”

Ford was confused, and asked “Why not?”

The mailbox simply repeated itself.

“I cannot tell you at this time.”

Ford started to get frustrated and asked; “Why can't you tell me?”

And the mailbox repeated itself, and wrote something new down.

“I cannot tell you at this time” and at the bottom, was a strange cipher, with a bunch of different symbols.

Ford was not very pleased, but inevitably gave up before adding to his Journal “Can, and will withhold information.” Before giving up for the day, and heading home.

-

Cut to another Ford, many, many years into the future. He is currently floating through what appears to be an endless void.

He looked very different, time does seem to have the effect on people. He was wearing pretty much the same outfit, but with a long  dark robe over it, with some extra stuff added for what was either for Functionality or flair. Probably the former.

He was attempting to sit criss-cross, but, again, it's an infinite and endless void. So, he was struggling.

He was very clearly frustrated, you could tell by his disgruntled expression on his face. His arms were also crossed, angrily so. 

Ford was talking to himself aloud, letting his words try and fill the void.

“All those years, and for what? Me to be stuck here, in an endless void, waiting to just what? Starve to death? I can't just sit here and do nothing, but if I tried to…”

He looked at his wrist, there appeared to be some type of strange watch wrapped around it. He looked at it carefully, before getting a flashback to him being chased by two massive figures, who almost looked like policemen, but much more futuristic.

He shook his head, and spoke to himself again.

“No, no, there has to be another way.” He checked his pockets, nothing but half-eaten granola bar, and some loose change. He checked his little book satchel, but, there was just another one his journals, with a golden 6-fingered handprint, and the number 4 on it. 

He sighed, seemingly have given up entirely.

“Well, seems like it's the only option, here we go!”

He pushes a button on the side of the watch, before everything warps and spins around him. The void seemed to collapse in on itself, and as everything shifted and changed. He could very clearly see something floating rapidly towards him, he tried to move out of the way and that's when it hit him, knocking him into unconsciousness, almost immediately.

End Chapter 1

Feel free to reach out and leave any questions in the comments! I'm kinda still starting out, so any and all support is appreciated!!!

I read each and every one of these in my head with their own voices and this couldn’t be more canon

Week one of @stanuary here we come. The theme was Mystery.

We interviewed members of the shack to find out what the deal is behind Mr Mystery himself.

Despite how everyone is acting- Ford is yet to give up on uncovering the mystery of where his brother has gone. No matter how many times people say that strange phrase- Something tells Ford that Stanley might not be in as “safe hands” as everyone claims…

Oh boy. The clue board makes its debut.

(Fourth installment labeled 3rd. Updates are happening people!)

HAPPY WINTER HOLIDAYS AND TO ALL AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT- Or day idk BUT YEAH HOLIDAYS YEAH!!!!

Have this Hilda gem while your at it- I thought it was funny. In which the teens talk about something that never got talked about in the show for some reason- Hildas funny colored hair. Like- Sure in a world of magic creatures and Nordic folklore it’s not THAT crazy- But no other kids have weird colored hair unless it’s obviously dyed, yk? Ignore the fact that the drawing itself is shitty, I couldn’t have been bothered at the time, ok?

ADVENTURE FALLS! Part 1 of chapter 1 done- IN COMIC FORM! Boy, wonder were this goes! (I have it written out I just need to draw it hope you like it- It’s pretty silly. Bit of mystery there… Wonder what could be in the chest… Will post the next part very soon- Hope you enjoyed! Nobody asked but I will provide lol

Imagine this- Invader Zim, except Zim is genuinely just a senial old man and Dib is just a delusional kid.

Dib, who is just SO CONVINCED that there’s no way this old guy is human. And he comes to visit the retirement home all the time just to “foil Zim’s evil plans” when in reality all Dib is doing is stopping the old man from like- Escaping or causing old people havoc. Dib is lowkey still neglected in this universe, but like his dad isn’t some crazy famous scientist. I think he just works a really good position for like- Microsoft or something- So a little less weird than canon yk? As for Dibs weird alien claims on Zim- The old man lowkey just lets it progress just to fuck around with the kid.

And Zim? Well personality wise he basically the same. He might be like- An old war veteran who’s in denial about his so-called “Feats” in the army- And thinks his pals still wanna hang out with him when in reality their all either dead or total assholes to him. So he’s not THAT different- So Dib and Zim still have that kind of banter, And it’s the same sort of cat and mouse bond that they share in canon, although a whole lot more wholesome in some aspects.

There’s also Gir, who is Zims grandnephew who he basically treats like a little slave but it’s kinda adorable. And the nurses of the home find it sweet that the 12 year old Dib takes time out of his day to visit the old kook- who basically lost almost all his family a long time ago. (Also, the distraction is quite a spectacle) there would be other characters introduced- But the main basis is that mostly Irkens are now just old people in the home- Like Skoodge, Tak, Red and Purple etc. stuff like that. I just thought this would be silly tbh. Bro really has beef with an old man, what a loser lol-

Best part is, you can’t ship them in this AU unless you wanna make it creepy- And why would you? lol might be controversial but here I am.

Tidbit:

Gaz: Maybe the reason nobody wants to talk to you is because your only friend is an old guy who smells like sweaty beans and bleach.

Dib: He is NOT my friend! He is my SWORN ENEMY!

Gaz: That’s even worse.

Some crappy doodles to accompany this goofiness, pardon my handwriting it is in fact hot garbage-
