Oh That Is A Horrifying Idea!

This is amazing.

My first entry at Month Of Maybel 2025!

Week 1.

Lost Legends

What if...Mabel can detach her face at will after she got kidnapped by Mr. What's-His-Face?

Hi! Found you through AO3 ;)

Hello! Nice seeing you here!

writing for MCSM can sometimes be like

"WHY IN THE WORLD AM I THE ONLY PERSON WHO'S WRITTEN/TAGGED A PLATONIC RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THESE 3 PEOPLE??????"

The people were Jesse, Lukas, and Radar.

Turns out I am not the only person who has written and tagged a platonic relationship between them, but I am only the second and the first one was written in February. Mine was written last August.

Guys, we've had like EIGHT YEARS to write about them.

. . . part of me feels like a hypocrite for saying this because I do enjoy reading Dipper/Pacifica and Harper/Ivor, but in Gravity Falls it's a lot easier to find platonic content to go with the romance.

cast iron? yeah thats a pretty common spell to learn

hello people of tumblr, i have brought food for the 5 xara fans out there!

Considering making a GF themed in-character cookbook, because I love this sort of thing and we're probably never going to get an official one

The conceit being Mabel's putting together a recipe scrapbook before she leaves so she and Dipper can take home all the greasy garbage delicious food they ate that summer!

Ideas:

Canon foods like pitt cola, mabel juice, cookie chips and burrito bites

Everyone from Mayor Tyler to Wendy contribute! Bill might even hijack it for a spell with his own absolutely do not try at home recipes.

Where canon lets us down, themed foods characters would probably serve (ford's stuffed percepshrooms, Lil’ Gideons officially branded™ lil’ ol sweet potata casserole)

And obviously I would release this for free as a fan project, I'm just here for the love of the game lmao

Anyway, tell me if you're interested or have any suggestions. :)b

Stan Pines: (has his comic book rejected by publishers because it has too much swearing for kids)

Stan Pines: (runs for Mayor and in an interview states that we should teach kids swears)

Stan Pines: (refuses to swear in front of his 12 year niece and nephew)

well, just explored the "mabel pines defense squad" tag

there were a lot of strongly worded posts

So I have an abandoned WIP that I wrote roughly 17 thousand words for and I was looking in my notes doc for it the other day and found some . . . funny(?) stuff I thought I'd share. You'll probably know why it's abandoned if you make it to the end of this post.

So I pre-write my tags and notes. The notes I write during or after relevant chapters. So here are most of the non-relationship tags:

Graphic Depictions of Violence, F/M, Teen And Up Audiences, Hurt/Comfort, Angst with a Happy Ending, Whump, Heavily Implied Romance*, Torture, this got way darker than I was anticipating, No One Is Okay, And That Includes The Author, Preston and Priscilla Northwest's a+ parenting, Probably Medical Inaccuracies, I Tried Okay, the graphic violence warning only applies to a couple of chapters.

*The heavily implied romance tag was for Stan/Lazy Susan and Pacifica/Dipper

Here's the first note: Hi there! This is the story that’s been distracting me from my main one, Mindscaperers.* It’s a little different and I’d like to state right off the bat that <b>this story gets fairly dark and I will NOT be giving warnings for individual chapters, so MAKE SURE TO CHECK THE TAGS. </b> ** On a brighter note, this story is fully finished so you won’t have to randomly wait several weeks for the next chapter.*** I’ll try to post roughly two a week until I’m done. This is going to become a series, but this is the main plot. The other stories will probably be about side characters as well as the consequences of this first story. 

*it was not the only thing distracting me from Mindscaperers. I was also reading a lot of fanfiction for fandoms I'm not even in.

**I said something similar in my recent Infinity Train story, We Only Broke The Train A Little Bit (More Than You).

***Past Me wishes. I ended up with like . . . five or six chapters. Maybe seven?

My notes get better - or worse, depending on how you look at it.

The end notes for chapter three are as follows:

me: shipping is weird

My brain: pff imply stuff so hard

Me: but they’re kids

My brain: pfffffff

Me: I can’t write Stan.

My brain: make him a major character

Me: no violence

Also me: let’s write the most descriptive violence I’ve ever written–WAIT NO THAT HASN’T HAPPENED YET

Let’s write a cute lighthearted story–AHHHHHHHHH never mind

And the penultimate and also best/worst note from the end of chapter four: Yes, they’re coping with being tortured by flirting with each other. Don’t judge me–them. Don’t judge them.

. . . and now we know why I abandoned this story.

But there's on more note! At the end of Chapter 5, I wrote about the fairy family I included in my story. (I'm going to write these fairies into a different story because I love them so much. But not this story.)

Here's the note: Zaelynn is the firstborn and Annabel is the 870th child. Also, sistren is an actual word.*

Pretty sure it's basically "brethren" but specifically for girls.

So yeah. That was . . . I'm honestly concerned about the me of 6-7 months ago.

Lake: I'm really glad "fight me" has replaced "sue me" because I don't have money but I do have fists and I'm always angry
