I made a submission for the anniversary ficathon for the transendence au of gravity falls (but they’re art). I used the prompt “Anything with space”. This is done on solidworks and can be 3d printed in parts, if people want to have a copy they can message me!

Origins

For the TAU’s ficathon.

Dipper quickly glanced behind him as Bill flew closer. “MABEL HE’S GETTING CLOSER ACTIVATE THE TRAP” Dipper yells into the radio. “I’M IN THE MIDDLE OF SETTING IT UP” Mabel yells back. “HE’S GETTING CLOSER JUST ACTIVATE IT PLEASE MABEL” Dipper yells back at the radio. “I-I…FINE” Mabel yells as she presses a button. A tree trunk flies out of the trees and slams into Bill, catching on Dipper too. Dipper yells out in pain. Bill slams into another tree where he’s caught in a net and dropped into a hole carved with runes designed to contain Bill. Bill just laughs with his shrill, shrill voice and rises out of the pit. Mabel watches a camera and turns on her radio “D-Dipper? Dipper? It didn’t work Dipper. DIPPER!?” Dipper lies completely unconcious and close to death on the floor.

Near the almost operational robo-shack Mabel runs to Stan. “GRUNKLE STAN, GRUNKLE STAN. IT’S DIPPER!” Mabel yells as she runs. Stan looks up at Mabel. “What’s wrong, Pumpkin?” Stan asks. “IT’S DIPPER, I THINK BILL’S CAUGHT HIM.” Mabel yells in a panicking voice. “Okay, just calm down Honey. We’ll sort this out. Let’s just get the Shack working.” Stan says, trying to calm Mabel down as tears stream down her face.

“Well as you all likely know by now, Dipper’s been…captured. We hope.” Stan says as he adresses the refugees. “We can’t allow this to discourage us though. We need to finish building the Robot shack. We will save both Dipper, …my brother and the Towns folk.” Stan finishes. The refugees cheer and get back to work. Mabel sits alone staring at a picture of Dipper. Stan wals up the stairs and raps on the door gently. “Mabel, pumpkin?” Stan asks. Mabel doesn’t reply. Stan gently pushes the door open and walks in. “Mabel, the shack should be done in a few days. We’ll get him back.” Stan says quietly. Mabel just sits there, silently crying. Stan sighs and just hugs Mabel.

Days later the Robo-Shack is finished. The plan is given as normal with a few slight alterations. Everything plays out like the episode. The gang enter the Fearamid and find Ford and Dipper. They’re both freed from their golden states. Ford draws the Zodiac and everyone steps into their respective spots. The Stan twins begin arguing.

“Grammar, Stanley.” Ford said. “I’LL SHOW YOU—“ Stan yells before he’s interrupted by Dipper collapsing due to his injuries from the failed trap. “DIPP—“ Mabel yells before Bill breaks through the wall. “HAHA DON’T YOU BRAINIACS KNOW—WAIT.” Bill begins as the circle begins to glow blue. “NO NO NO NO NO NO NO” Bill says, worried. Just before the circle finishes Dipper collapses and falls into the centre of the circle. Dipper screams out and the circle begins to spark. “SIXER WHAT’S GOING ON” Stan yells. “I DON’T KNOW STANLEY” Ford yells in response. “DIPPER!” Mabel yells out. Stan grabs her and they run deeper into the Fearamid. Lightning arcs out and strikes Bill. He yells out in pain and falls to the floor. “W-WHAT IS THIS” Bill yells through his pain. Dipper and Bill scream out in unison. As the circle’s power dies down Bill floats up, clearly in pain. As bricks fly away from him he stares at Dipper.  Dipper slowly bleeds out on the floor. Bill floats towards Dipper and grabs him by the soul. Dipper screams out in pain as Bill enters his body. Bill screams out too. But it’s not laughter or pain. It’s fear. Fear of pain. Fear of the future. Fear of death. In the middle of the process Bill dies. Dipper continues to scream as he rises into the air but there’s nobody there. The zodiac members have run, Bill’s friends retreated. Dipper was all alone. The room fills with light. A strange black figure appears. A figure of black, lined with gold. The figure grabs Dipper in his arms. Dipper’s screaming ceases. He appears unconcious. The figure and Dipper disappear as the flash dies down. Mabel, Ford and Stan run into the main fearamid room. They glance around. “DIPPER!?” they all yell. Mabel begins crying again. Ford and Stan glance solemnly  at each other. Stan goes to comfort Mabel and Ford looks around for any remains of Dipper. He eyes set upon a lone Pine tree cap. He grabs it. Slight burn marks are laced across it. Ford silently walks over to Stan and Mabel to join the comforting.

Elsewhere, deep within the Mindscape Dipper sits surrounded by a flock of inquisitive black coated sheep. Tears stream down his face as he realises he is trapped.

@transcendence-au have my Birthaversary submission!

Two Year Anniversary

angryinterrobang:

It’s two years since the end of the world and Mabel Pines has discovered the joys of summoning circles.

She makes them with glitter and draws her own designs. She carefully pricks her finger and puts the drops of blood right in the center in the shape of a smiley face. She’s wearing a sweater with a rastafarian orange stitched into it. When she moves her hair to the side you can see the words on the back: “MY BROTHER IS DE(y) MON”.

(“That doesn’t make any sense, Mabel.”)

She has gotten very good at waiting.

She’s also gotten very good at being brains out with a baseball bat, but that is beside the point.

It’s the end of the world and no one has taken down their Halloween decorations from last year.

It’s the end of the world and in The Mystery Shack he loves Soos has accidentally asked his girlfriend to marry him.

The two of them had been rearranging the furniture for a new exhibit about wanding wereskeletons. Dudes now a days were harder to scare. They had to get creative. And Mr. Pines would be so bummed if the Mystery Shack were just an Explanation Factory. Had to keep ‘em guessing, right?

Melody had wrinkled her nose at the display. “Does the unicorn skeleton have to be front and center? I really like the mermonkey.”

Soos had shrugged. “I’m not married to it.”

“You’re not married to anyone,” said Melody. She elbowed him slightly in the ribs until he chuckled. “Unless you’ve got a Vegas story Mr. Pines hasn’t told me!”

“No way, Dude! If I were married to anybody it would be you!”

It was a big deal the second it was outloud. Big and real.

It’s the end of the world and Melody looks at him like it’s the first time. She can feel her face growing hot when he takes her hand.

“Yes,” says Melody.

At the other edge of the woods It’s the end of the world and Pacifica is trying to force her friends into a weaponized girl squad. Sadly Candy and Grenda are much more interested in real weapons. It will turn out the zombies can only be defeated by a three part harmony in any case.

It’s the end of the world and Rich Old Man McGucket has found his way onto the Stan-O-War III. He’s added a cannon that shoots fireballs.

The fire is staying a little too close to the boat. Ford is taking notes on all the surprise modifications. His sweater is also on fire.

Stan Pines is tired of getting on fire to be honest.

Rich Old Man McGucket has started cackling again.

Old ConMan Stanley Pines and Weird Old Scientist Stanford Pines take him out for diner.

It’s the end of the world and Wendy is thinking about dropping out of school and running off to Portland. She knows she can survive. That’s the easy part. She’s more worried about everyone else surviving when she’s not in town.

It’s the end of the world and Dipper Pines has started calling himself Alcor.

Alcor the Dreambender when he’s being fancy. His Grunkle Stan says it’s important to put on a show. It also puts the sort of people who want to summon Bill on edge- getting the wrong demon can put fear into any ambitious illuminati heart.

“OH NO,” Alcor tells them. “YOU SUMMONED THE BIGGER AND BETTER EDITION.”

He’s still working on the voice. He’s learned to take comfort in the knowledge that the dead aren’t going to blab if he experiments.

He used to try and keep track of the souls he devoured. Now they all bleed together into one streak of red.

(They deserved it they deserved it he promises and he didn’t mean to and-)

He can fly. There are spaces in every head carved out for him and the dreaming. He’s rescued children too. He’s not evil.

It’s better being Alcor. Alcor was never anything else but a demon. He can pretend it’s theatricality when Alcor smiles and not a real sense of joy when his teeth-

Sometimes he thinks it would be easier to be this way forever. Forever is what he has to worry about.

There’s a summoning circle in the woods that will bring him home again. Mabel has made it so he can be seen again. Touched. If something is really awful she’ll go with him. They can be a binary star system together.

It’s the end of the world and they’ve all changed.

It’s the end of the world and they love each other anyway.

how not to open up to a therapist

There wasn’t a correct word to describe how much Dipper loathed this situation.

His knee was bobbing. Probably wasn’t a good thing,
considering how unstable his human façade was, but he bobbed it anyway, a
soothing, rhythmic action. His fingers drummed against his bobbing knee, some
random, improvised little jazz-ish tune, his free hand resting his head while
his elbow sunk into the borderline ancient couch of the therapist’s office, and
Dipper still searched in the depths of his omniscience for a word to adequately
describe his loathing.

The therapist clicked her stylus. Like she was clicking away
the seconds he purposefully wasted.

Hold Please

beard-of-wisdom:

Well here it is, the first of two prompts I took for the Gravity Falls TAU ficathon as well as my first contribution to the AU overall. Hope you guys like it! 

My prompt was: the origin of the Answering Machine.


 After weeks of preparation everything was in place. The
circle had been drawn, the symbols all triple checked, candles lit- unscented,
originally they had planned on just using cinnamon but one call from Dave’s
cousin had changed that (thank goodness one of them had a demonologist in the
family), and, of course, the sacrifice had been procured. That had been the
hardest part, but then again, none of them had ever really needed to find cow
blood before. Now all that remained was to carefully speak the chant.

  “Astrum splendidum, te invoco. Invoco tuum
potentiae. Dico nomen tuum: Alcor!”

“Did you say it right?” Allison asked

Happy 2nd Ficathon, people!

I know this isn’t the longest thing I’ve written, and it’s not even what I was planning to write, but life happens sometimes. Also this character is important to me so there.

On Ao3.

May. 5
years old.

Elisha
knows what dating is. Or, she thinks she does, and since she’s never wrong
about anything, she must be right. Dating is that thing with the true love and
the kissing and being lavished with really sweet gifts by the coolest boys. It’s
the pink beautiful pictures she sees in cartoons and picture books and on the
covers of those books her mother won’t read for her. It’s what all the big
girls do and she wants it so much.

The first
boy she dates is named Adrian, and they’re definitely dating, even though he
only agreed because she said they could share candy, and though she doesn’t
even like him that much, and though they both forget about it after a few days.
She does get him to kiss her, and Lena says that means they’re married now, so
it must be right.
