A Day in the Life of Mabel Pines

seiya234:

Normally I don’t like leaving things unfinished but this has been in the drafts for almost a year now and I haven’t touched it so I’m releasing it out of the inbox and into the wild. Have a beginning and hell, feel free to finish it! 

—————————

6:21: You wake up! And considering the lack of
noise in the house, you have won the daily Waking Up First Because Who Wants to
Waste Their Day contest. Yay!!! You turn over in bed and look at your husband,
who is still fast asleep. Your heart swells with love. 

You still can’t believe you’re married. 

You still can’t believe he’s real. 

Better poke him and make sure he’s real.

Mabel

Mabel stared at her brother, blinking slowly. He blinked back with a single eye, tiny little pipe cleaner arms shifting restlessly.

This was new.

Part of Mabel was screaming, huddling down inside her sweater, memories of a a triangle and her brother’s screams echoing inside her head.

The rest was seeing through her brother’s bravado, his attempt at pretending everything was okay, as if he wasn’t upset about this development.

“…you think this is permanent?” she asked after a few minutes had passed, needing to say something but this time worried about saying something that would send both of them spiraling out of control and knowing she had to be the adult in this situation despite their parents being just downstairs because they wouldn’t be any help right now and that wasn’t fair to her but it was the truth.

The joking could come later, to make them both feel better.

“No, I’m just too tired to stay human shaped,” her brother answered, thankfully,  both of them relieved by his answer. “I think how I usually look is my default form now, and this is sort of…a power saving mode? I’m still working on the details.”

Mabel nodded as Dipper spoke, doing her best to hide how freaked she’d been. He could see her moods now, faintly, so he had to know, but it didn’t mean she had to be obvious about it. Now that she was calming down, though…well…her brother was pretty cute as a star.

But he was also still pretty obviously upset about this. Well, that couldn’t stand! It was time to unleash the Power of Mabel!

“Wait here, broseph,” she said, gesturing with both hands outspread. “Just hang out in here and wait.”

Impatiently, and more than a little nervously, Dipper waited. He knew Mabel loved and accepted him, but…what ifs kept playing through his mind, and he began to float back and forth across the room, the closest he could come to pacing while like this.

This was going to be a long wait.

Investigating the Falls

phenyxsnest:

Paranormal Investigator James Gallucio, PhD, had come to
Gravity Falls to investigate the history of ‘a little town just west of
weird’.

He’s not quite sure what he expected.

Based on this prompt: http://transcendence-au.tumblr.com/post/116972507433/imagine-some-kind-of-paranormal-investigator

On AO3 // On FF.net

James Gallucio, PhD,  had been researching the supernatural for years. It wasn’t the easiest career path, especially before the Transcendence hit and anyone who studied the paranormal was considered odd, at best.

Tall and lanky and clumsy, with thick glasses, James had always been on the receiving end of taunting and the stereotype of ‘nerd’, and his hobbies didn’t help matters any.

But James was stubborn, and determined to find out the truth. They could laugh at him all they liked, but he knew of at least one man in his field who’d gotten a government grant to study the paranormal, and he was determined to keep working despite his detractors. Who knew, maybe it would happen for him.

Then the Transcendence happened. All over the world, in the blink of an eye, the paranormal was out in plain sight, unable to hide, and demanding their basic human rights, and people like James were suddenly needed.

But even though he was suddenly respected, needed, and looked to, at least somewhat, James just wasn’t satisfied. Half of the excitement of his job had been in the danger, in people’s disbelieving reactions, in the chase after something no one else understood.

There were dozens, if not hundreds, of people studying the paranormal now. James needed a challenge, something new.

Of course, there were dozens of new species to study now, and many of them incredibly dangerous.

So when the offer came, James jumped on it. So now, in the fourteen years since the Transcendence, James had done a documentary on as many as he could find the least verifiable information on.

Now James was looking for something new to document, something dangerous, something little was known about, something that would really get his name out there.

Then, he had a flash of inspiration.

Is it too obvious to ask for tau headcanons?

The underappreciated characters edition!

1. Melody gets really, really good at practical magic. Minor everyday spells to help out around the house, kind of thing. Anyone with aches and pains goes to her for cures (even if the cure is sometimes ‘get outside and walk more, you lazy butt’), she’s never caught without an umbrella, her kitchen always smells nice. She has an Understanding with the local fair folk and can occasionally be found sitting out on a picnic blanket with Mabel and several odd shimmers that look like people if you catch them out of the corner of your eye, commiserating about how annoyingly reluctant unicorns are to provide bits of their bodies for potion ingredients. She also makes a mean tiramisu.

2. One of Fiddleford’s robots gains sentience in the aftermath of the Transcendence. Tate is secretly a little jealous of the attention it gets at first, but quickly learns that nothing brings father and son together like teaching a ten-ton robot with the mental ability of a six-year-old not to step on people.

3. Post-Transcendence, a lot of ‘normal’ people start looking deeper into the weird family legends that imply they might have some supernatural heritage, and others start coming out about the supernatural heritage they already know runs in their family. Turns out Tambry has a gorgon somewhere back in her family tree – hence, her tendency to avoid direct eye contact. 

4. Candy, as we all know, opens a weapons shop in town eventually, which has the largest and most diverse range of anti-supernatural devices probably in the world for a good while. Despite the fact that Wendy’s weapon of choice is always her axe, after her star starts to rise as ‘Wendy Corduroy, Demon Hunter’, she has an endorsement deal with Candy’s for a while that sees her provided with prototypes of Candy’s latest designs for free so long as she tests them in the field. Wendy cuts the deal off after the third time she has to regrow her eyebrows.

5. Robbie is not, in fact, a zombie.

But both his parents do start dabbling in necromancy – at first just to put the zombies in the graveyard back to permanent sleep, and then because reanimation is a fun party trick and if the zombies won’t stay buried, the least they can do is help out around the house.
