Taming the Wild Pt 2

phenyxsnest:

Dipper looked down at the video in his hands, turning it over and
over in obvious confusion. “Jamie…how did you even get this?”

Jamie
shrugged nonchalantly, though his cheeks were dusted with pink and he
was fiddling with his glasses. “Kurt might…be trying to brag,” he
said, free hand gesturing vaguely. “That he, you know, managed to make
an episode about Gravity Falls before I did? Even though I’ve been here
longer? And wanted to rub it in?”

“And he just…gave you
the video he made?” Dipper asked incredulously. “Of the unaired episode?
Of the show he made that he thinks is competing with yours?”

“Well,
just a copy,” Jamie modified. “I just…he was bragging about getting
‘the Dreambender’ on film, so I figured all of you should watch it with
me, and see just what he’s planning on before this gets out. Sort
of…ah…early damage control? I didn’t watch it yet, I don’t know just
what he saw. He doesn’t do the research I do, so he pumps out episodes
faster, but…and he can be pretty arrogant about the quality of what he
does.”

“The big problem is if he found out names or how
we’re all related,” Dipper said honestly. “I…if he found out mine it
would be a problem and no mistake but…if they find out about Mabel and
everyone else…”

“Let’s just watch, yeah? And worry
after,” Jamie said, wilting when Dipper looked at him. “I…might have
already been worrying about it for a few hours? And maybe panicking?
Just a little?”

“…yeah, you get the notebooks and popcorn and I’ll round up everybody else,” Dipper said.

“So.”

Pacifica plonked the pancakes in front of the Pines twins- she could only see one of them but she knew damn well Dipper was there next to Mabel.

“You’re back in town,” she went on, digging through the pockets of her apron for sugar, salt, syrup, and despite Mabel’s really gross propensity to share silverware with everyone, TWO sets of flatware thank you very much.

Pacifica wasn’t entirely surprised to see them back, not really. She had been in touch with them the three years they were back in California, had sleepovers with Mabel at Mr and Mrs Ramirez’s hovel when they were visiting.

Had heard about the troubles they were having.

Mabel looked next to her, at the blank air on her left side in the booth, before smiling weakly and looking back at Pacifica.

“Well. You know. Stuff happens. Happened.”

Though Pacifica couldn’t see Dipper, she did hear a faint “shit happens” in chorus with Mabel.

The paychecks her parents confiscated every month said Lazy Susan was paying her six dollars an hour, not reflecting the additional nine that Lazy Susan kept in an envelope along with all of her tips under the till for safekeeping, until Pacifica was ready. The empty apartment Mayor Cutebiker had saved from condemnation, that had been fixed up by his husband (and Habitat For Humanity volunteer Pacifica Northwest) that was waiting patiently for a person to live in it.

The emancipation papers that were this close to being finalized, the bell she threw out of the window last night during one argument, and the only food she was getting these days was during work-

Pacifica could only nod.

“Shit happens,” she agreed.

Demon On Ice

Prelliot on FF.net asked: Do u take prompts? Bc if so:
someone jokingly tags alcor in the ice bucket challenge (i know, old
news, but i dont care) and then he does it. the results are kind of
hilarious

I had a specific image in my head, not entirely sure I got it to come out right. Still, hope it’s enjoyed.

It wasn’t often, but sometimes, a trend would come back into fashion,
something that had once gone viral would be revived from the dead and
go viral once again.

So it was for the ice-bucket challenge.

After the success of the campaign for ALS, someone had the bright
idea of restarting it for supernatural awareness, under the slogan of
‘like a fish out of water’.

It wasn’t the catchiest slogan, but it caught on and grew and adapted as celebrity activists and politicians took the challenge.

Then, apparently as a joke, supernatural rights activist Pacifica
Northwest tagged “The town of Gravity Falls, but mostly Alcor the
Dreambender. Do it, dork. I dare you”.

How does Willow grey the right to adopt most of the Plieds? (Same with Paz and Theo, for that matter…)

maybe-jayy would have to speak for Paz and Theo, but Willow is certified by the state of Oregon to be a foster parent, and more specifically, to take in kids that are coming from bad situations related to the paranormal.

It wasn’t the easiest of processes-it took two years-and Willow is under constant scrutiny from a vast body of state officials who are mostly pro-nat. But it is, of course, completely worth it.
