I love squaring people.
I asked my friend @uniquechaosdetective to give me some things to ramble about for my Washed Away au and I am thankful to say, she delivered!
I'm noticing now that she hasn't fully listened to what I've said in the past, aka, she ignored what she didn't like. I'm onto you. Anyway, I'll take this one question at a time. Thank you.
Ford's child, Penni, is about 13. Probably 13 and a half, to be specific. I wanted her to be around the same age as the mystery twins but not the exact same age.
Ford gave birth. I've told you this already, and you looked at me with disgust! I've also made a post about it already here now, but I still thought I'd address it. Ford just looks like the type of man to accidentally get pregnant, and I won't budge on that opinion.
How it works is a more complicated question. I'm guessing it's basically just a c-section, but I did toy around a bit with the idea of Ford basically throwing up the child. Y'know, just got to add some more horror in there. Either way, Ford can't remember it!
They get along very well as a family. Ford's husband, Nimirylov, is very charismatic, as that comes with being a prince, and Penni is a mix of the two. I imagine that she's just as intelligent as Ford, if not more, but completely uninterested in science. She could stand there and rant about politics to either of her parents for hours, though.
Ford does not often talk about his family when he gets pulled back through the portal. After all, he sees himself as dead to them because he's been taken away from them rather than the other way around. He's mourning his family whilst also thinking of himself as dead at the same time even if he knows that he's alive.
He's very torn with Dipper and Mabel. Every interaction with them just reminds him of what he's lost with his own child, and it hurts him in the most enticing way. He doesn't want to replace his daughter, but at the same time, he's a #dad here, and these children are technically his family, too. Basically, he loves spending time with them, but it really hurts, and he feels guilty about it afterwards.
As I said, he doesn't talk about his family often, but when he does open up about them, he does it separately to each one. He tells Mabel everything about his husband and the stages of their relationship. So she reacts with excitement because "it's such a cute love story" or she'd say something similar. Alternatively, he'd make a small offhand mention about having a family that he'd love to return to but is unable to because of the dangers of the portal to Dipper when he shows him the rift. Finally, Stan is the only one that Ford tells about his child. That's what my entire last post was about, though, and this paragraph is getting long so I'm not saying anymore about Stan.
Who wins in a deal between a manipulative triangle and an aspiring alien fish politician?
I failed at drawing Penni's face as a teenager, but I at least drew her hand. She's really having a rough time when Bill approaches her with a deal. I think I'll keep the details about the deal a mystery for now, though.
Is it just me, or do other people absolutely love au crossovers? Like, please, I need some good au crossovers.
This is also permission for anyone to make any crossovers content with their au and my au if they're so inclined. I would literally melt into a puddle of joy if that happened.
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.
Fun fact for the Washed Away au (or at least I found it fun); even though Ford is a lot angrier at Stan than he was in canon, they actually get along better.
Mostly because Ford didn't plan on kicking Stan out.
Overstimulated as fuck so I tried to make a small doodle. I'm terrible at drawing and haven't drawn in, probably nearly a year. I needed to get my little baby out into the world exactly how I picture her, though.
This is Penni, Ford's alien fish child from my au (which I've finally decided to call Washed Away) as a baby.
Who needs anything else to chew on when you've got a tail? She's just so cute and I would die for her. It's not the clearest picture though so I must confirm that she inherited Ford's six fingers.
I've changed my avatar to Doodle Penni because I think she's adorable. Everyone who knows of my account previously, do not be surprised by the change. It's been coming for a long time. I really needed to be done with the base avatar.
Literally been obsessed with @babyblankyerror Dr Pinington au for the past while. Anyways, I had too many thoughts about it to just send an ask to them, so I'm making a post instead.
I really want to do fanart for it at some point, but I just know it won't go well. I've failed at drawing Ford enough times to know I'll fail at drawing Stan. I have an idea, though, for a sketch I could do.
Anyways, I was just thinking about how if Stan and Ford's high school was able to do a dissection in science. Would Stan keep cool while doing it in school and be super excited inside? Or was dissecting and surgery something he only got excited about post lobotomy (since that seems to be canon for the au now). I just remember when I did a dissection in school, I was stimming the whole time. I still get a giddy feeling about dissection, and I don't even like blood. I just feel like the giddy feeling I get is also how Stan feels in the au.
Additionally, I was just imagining little Stan looking at pictures of human anatomy. Instead of drawing the comics he did in canon, all of his drawings have something to do with organs. I can't stop picturing him trying to get the organs looking as realistic as he can make them at his small age, being surrounded by little childish doodles.
Finally, when/if Ford tells Stan about Bill, dissecting Bill becomes like a fantasy for Stan. One because of everything Bill did to Ford, obviously, so it's semi-revenge. Two, and arguably more importantly, because he's a living two-dimensional triangle. Stan would love to cut him open and see how he works inside, especially his eye.
Currently obsessed with Gravity Falls. Cooking up my own AU for it :> Washed Away au.
