CAN I WRITE ONE TOO? And Then We'd Have Multiple Feral Stan Twins MREHing At Each Other!

some twitter dot com shenanigans, might as well post this here too :D

[An image of Pacifica and Mabel, standing next to each other. Pacifica is wearing a light blue dress and has a flower in her hair. Mabel has a yellow headband and is wearing her shooting star sweater and a dark blue skirt. The girls are looking at each other. Above Pacifica are the words "Reverse Pacifica." Above Mabel are the words "Normal-ish Mabel" cut off partway through "Mabel."

This morning I was thinking about AUs or something because I came up with "Reverse Falls but it's only half reversed so Pacifica and Dipper are reverse but Mabel and Pacifica are the same but it's also Reunion Falls so Dipper's grown up with Gideon." Partly brought on because I like Reverse Falls to an extent, but all the characters are so out of character. Which IS part of the AU, I know that . . . I just want to stay true to the characters' core personalities because they're the ones I know and love.

So now I can add the half-reversed Reverse x Reunion Falls to my ten thousand other AUs. Yes, I will write this too. Maybe not a whole story. Maybe just scenes. (Who am I kidding, this'll end up a story with twenty thousand words of lore. Why do I do this to myself.)

Here's the finished version . . . honestly not my favorite, but it's okay.

Random excerpt that I really liked from an MCSM fic I'm writing :

(companion to this fic: https://archiveofourown.org/works/53703352)

Flashes of lighting and thunder rumbled in the distance. She wondered how that was possible, considering she was underground, before realizing that it’s the Admin, he can do whatever. And she couldn’t stop him.

And Jesse couldn’t stop him. 

And that’s what scared her the most, because Jesse . . . Jesse was invincible. They–the New Order of the Stone–had all been invincible after they’d found their footing in the world of adventures, but they’d slowly left that behind, building new lives. But Jesse had always managed to keep a foot in both worlds and she was darn good at it. But their new enemy was powerful, so much more powerful than any they’d faced before, and Jesse had put on a brave face. 

But it was her fake brave face, the bravado she used when the world was ending and she had to be the one to keep it all together because who else was going to? (Nobody, that’s who. Jesse took the world on her shoulders and the rest of them just let her, let her think she was responsible for it all, for all of them.) 

Og Treehouse gang was fucking broke. They’re broke as fuck. They live in a goddamn treehouse with only one room, they don’t even have a bathroom. They Barely scrape by with numerous odd jobs around town. They survive by eating copious amounts of suspicious stew. Power of found family friendship can’t pay the damn bills.

light mabel analysis just from the first episode of gravity falls

when dipper has just read "trust no one" she jumps out and spooks him to ask what he's looking at and when he hesitates there's a tone of surprised amusement in her voice when she asks "what you're actually not gonna show me?" which shows that they are really close and that he's likely never done that before

when she's hanging out with norman she says "daisies? you scoundrel!" and in flower language daisies represent innocence, purity, and cheerfulness. they are also commonly thrown at weddings

when she's in the woods with norman she's obviously disappointed that he's actually a bunch of gnomes but you can also tell she's deeply uncomfortable, for one because dipper was right and she feels she should have listened to him, and for two she was being taken advantage of! she's a 12 year old girl who got tricked by a bunch of men to marry them!!! and she feels like it's her fault for not listening to dipper (it's not her fault, sure she could have been more careful but that's exactly why they picked her )

when one of the gnomes latches onto dippers face she yells "i'll save you!" and punches the fuck out of the gnome. and when they are confronted at the shack she asks him "trust me dipper, just this once trust me" and uses the leafblower that she had earlier injured herself with by practice kissing to take out the gnomes, who she yells at for lying to her and for messing with her brother.

all of this just in the first episode alone shows who mabel is as a person, which is a funloving girl who cares about her brother immensely and also knows when to fuck shit up!!!!!!!! like damn!!! she's so cool!!!! and also a good precursor to irrational treasure, because had mabel not been silly she wouldn't have known to use the leafblower, as well as starting off they're mystery adventures by being what brought their first supernatural encounter on

Here I'm going to lore dump about characters in the Half Reversed Reunion AU. Actually, it's more like a personality dump.

Mabel and Gideon are pretty similar to their canon counterparts. However, Gideon, like in the traditional/regular Reverse Falls Gleefuls, has enslaved Will.

Will Cipher is reverse Bill Cipher. He's usually whiny, I think, but in a lot of stories the Gleeful twins literally torture him so . . . he can be a little whiny.

Pacifica is Pacifica Southeast. She and Mabel became best friends after a brief mini golf rivalry when they were younger. She's much more cheery than her canon counterpart but can still be sassy.

Dipper is much more serious/solemn than canon, and he's not a murderer or a torturer like many Reverse Dippers. He has the tendency to just Say Things.

I know I said Gideon earlier, but here I'm going to write that he's spoiled and generally gets whatever he wants, plus the amulet he has is corrupting his soul like in canon. Dipper is closer to his mother than he is and he's jealous of that. It's his own fault because of reasons that I may make clear here or I might wait until I write the story to reveal.

Soos is similar to canon, except he works for the Gleefuls. Half the reason he stays around is to keep an eye on Dipper, though.

Robbie is the cashier in this universe and Wendy is the handywoman. They have an on again/off again relationship that's going nowhere. They both have similarities to their canon counterparts but Robbie's a little softer, so to speak, and Wendy's a little more edgy.

The story is focused on the four kids so I haven't spent much time on what the Stans are doing. Stan is running the Mystery Shack and Ford is traveling around studying, probably.

bestie introduced me to mcsm and I really liked it :)

Jesse: Do you think I could fit 15 marshmallows in my mouth?

Nate: You're a hazard to society

Lake: And a coward, do 20.

I’VE ALMOST PASSED 200,000 WORDS ON AO3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (It’s 197,000 right now)

sorry just had to scream into the void for a minute there 😅
