I actually have a triangle of freckles on one single cheek. Kind of funny. I also debated revealing my real name here, but nah. I'm just Major, for now at least.
Also, love getting to use the incorrect quotes generator. I highly suggest people using it with their and their friends names in. Or put you and your mutuals in.

I'm probably not going to keep posting this much usually, but I'm bored whilst watching my friends play Cards against Humanity in a public park.
Anyway, Ford's alien fish husband is called Nimirylov which in the alien fish language means "perfect current". Their ship name NimFord then it just means "perfect Ford" which is hilarious.
Bonus: Their daughter is called Penni which less directly translates to "brain perfect". So Ford named his child something that basically means smart which feels very in character for him.
Ford started a new journal in the Washed Away au. He made it blue to;
1. Make it distinct from the original journals which he wants to separate himself from now.
2. Because blue is the colour of his husbands hair and he's secretly a sap.
Anyway, the tiny handprint in the middle is Penni's. Ford had been writing in his journal when she had been painting, and he ended up with a new decoration for the cover of his journal.
I quickly went through all of your posts to get an idea of the AU and I have to say, I find it very interesting (/positive)! It's original and stands out from all of the other AU's. With that said, onto the questions! 🥳
1. How did you come up with the AU? (I enjoy hearing people's though processes, especially when the idea in particular is unique and unlike any I've heard before. I'm the kind of person who loves watching behind-the-scenes content for media.)
2. What specific species of fish are the fish aliens?
3. Sorta related to the previous question, but is Ford's husband that one siren he wrote about dating in one of the journals or no?
4. How did Ford meet the prince and how did they end up in a relationship?
Thank you so much! Hearing/reading (same difference) positive stuff like that affects me way more than I always remember it doing.
1. I can't remember when I came up with the au (because I always think putting things into a timeline makes it more understandable), but I do remember just thinking that Ford being focused on revenge against Bill for 30 years in the portal is just a little bit boring. I've said that before, but it genuinely was just that thought that spiralled out into me creating this au. I wanted to create something more interesting than revenge, and I wanted something with a lot of angst potential. The clear answer to that is love. I wanted to make an au where Ford had love in the portal, that was pretty much just how it started.
2. Hahaha, this is where I reveal that I've tricked everyone. I say fish aliens because that rolls of the tongue easier, and it sounds funny, in my opinion. However, design wise, they're more based on axolotls. Currently, the sole reason for that is just because axolotls are my second favourite animal, and I think they're cute. However, I will probably come up with some lore thing that relates to it better. As for how they act, I'm just making shit up as I go along. Just picture me waving my hands and going "ooh~ alien~" every time I make up more lore.
3. I am so glad you asked that question! Simple answer, no. Complicated answer, in a way. Basically; when coming up with Nimirylov, I thought, "Base this guy off Ford's canon "love interests"." So to me, that meant, take the good traits from Fiddleford, Bill and the Siren. I assumed that Gravity Falls meant sirens as in the pop culture version of them (evil mermaids) rather than actual Greek mythology (angry bird ladies) + I didn't want to make a bird. So, that's how I came up with Ford having a smart, charismatic, alien fish husband.
4. How Ford met Nimirylov is also something I need to figure out the exact details on. Either Ford accidentally stumbled upon him, and Nimirylov was determined to get a human boyfriend, or Nimirylov found and helped Ford when he first arrived in that specific dimension. I haven't quite decided yet. As for how they got together, I'm assuming you mean how the relationship started in the first place. That was 100% Nimirylov, he did all the romantic work. I'm also going to say that the way they stayed together was through a lot of work. Ford has tried to make a runner from him, and that dimension at least 4 times. Each time, Nimirylov had to calm and talk him down.
The first time he tried to run away was before they got together, when they had started becoming friends, though. The closeness scared Ford. The second time was after the one and only time Bill appeared in Ford's dreams in that dimension, which was probably a year or two into Ford and Nimirylov's relationship. The third time was right after Nimirylov proposed to Ford. He has some sort of fear of commitment, what can I tell you? The final time was after that scene I talked about in a previous post, where Penni draws the picture of Bill and calls him her imaginary friend. This was by far the worst time that Ford tried to run away because he tried to bring Penni with him.
I kind of went on an unrelated tangent at the end, but I do that. Honestly, though, I loved these questions because I got to talk about a lot of behind the scenes stuff that I'm really passionate about but probably wouldn't have talked about otherwise. So, thanks again.
Dam, I want to see E guess everyone's ages now.
fandom is so weird you never know how old anyone is but you just kinda assume most of them are around your age until proven otherwise and then one day someone is talking about their 9 year old kid on your dash and another person is saying they just finished 10th grade. wild.
I love squaring people.
To follow on from my last post, Nimirylov as promised.
Unless being an alien fish thing counts, in which case, still no, because it's not a secret.
I've said before that Nimirylov has the combined vibes of Odysseus and Penelope so, yeah.
No, he's a prince. He's well behaved, and even if he wasn't, he probably wouldn't be jailed.
Yes. No questions asked. 100%.
Yeah, this makes sense.
No... he has a husband.
No... he works with politics.
I can see this, kind of.
Sure. He got hit by the alien fish equivalent of a bus. Told no one though.
Nobody thought of just... y'know... raising a baby Bill Cipher to not be evil? Seems to me like violence doesn't need to be an option. But, who am I to judge?
What do you think about the fact that a new Bill Cipher has been born?
This one.
...
He...
HE LIED! HE SAID HE WAS CUTE AS A BABY!!! HE'S NOT CUTE!
That aside, this is bad. Like really, REALLY bad! I wonder if Dipper knows about this...
@dipper-m-pines
Finally, I did this post below:
This is Penni when she would first get introduced in the story. Yes, those boots are massive. No, she can not walk in them properly.
Don't worry about those bandages, she's not bleeding... from the front.
She's having a very rough time of it.
Currently obsessed with Gravity Falls. Cooking up my own AU for it :> Washed Away au.
