Mob Bosses are rarely convicted of being Mob Bosses it’s just too hard to prove in court. Most get caught for other things like Tax Evasion. They tried this on Hank but everything checked out all his’ taxes were filed correctly not only that but so where crews. Hank really apricates his sister-in-law. (did you know it’s perfectly legal to file taxes for money you earned illegally?)

So while Reina absolutely does Hank’s taxes (and the Crew’s for a dirt cheap fee: there’s kindness, and then there’s ‘my wife is an artist and we have three kids’), she never has to mess with illegal money. 

Hank doesn’t ask for money, and gets extremely uncomfortable if the topic is brought up. What money that does get pushed off onto him immediately goes back into supporting the Crew in the form of food, medical expenses, and/or dank party supplies

Psychic Singularity Ch 19

phenyxsnest:

Hank had lost track of how long they had been walking and just what
direction they had been going in. The nightmares were leading the way,
while he and Gravity Falls were distracted keeping Uncle Dipper’s
Curiosity and Adventurer under control.

Despite the whining of
both aspects Hank had kept the child leashes, and they hadn’t managed to
get out of them yet. Hank wasn’t questioning how the two aspects hadn’t
managed to wiggle free yet, all things considered – well, okay, he was
questioning, just not out loud where they could hear him and get ideas.

It was a good thing that they hadn’t been attacked yet, and Hank was grateful for that, when he had a chance to think.

Still, with all the noise they were making, that was a bit of a miracle.

Gravity
Falls, for their part, was still apparently amused by Curiosity and
Adventurer’s antics, and Hank suspected it was distracting Gravity Falls
from the discomfort or downright pain that came from the circumstances
they found themselves in.

Gravity Falls seemed to be extra amused
by how often Curiosity tried to climb trees, resembling a giant cat on a
leash as he did. If it weren’t for the leashes, the two of them would
have lost the aspects long ago.

Up ahead, That of Teeth and Bessie
went still in the way only a supernatural creature could, as quiet and
frozen as a statue. At the ends of their leashes, halfway up a tree and
inspecting a bush respectively, Curiosity and Adventurer mimicked them,
all four looking in the same direction.

Sharing a glance with
Gravity Falls, Hank shifted his weight to his good leg, hefting the
staff Aunt Candy had given him that he’d been using as a walking stick,
getting it into position for an attack.

Hank didn’t allow himself to relax when two more of Uncle Dipper’s sheep shoved their way through the underbrush.

Reina had known the Pines family since she was little. She thought
she had seen pretty much everything they could throw at her. She’d grown
up in Gravity Falls, her uncle-in-law was a demon, she was part of the
Pines family now for goodness sake!

But she wasn’t prepared for any of this.

Lying on her back and staring up at the grey-blue sky, Reina wondered
again just what it was Acacia saw in her. She loved Acacia with all her
heart, but she didn’t love all…all this. The danger, and the
violence…Acacia was worth it, but Reina was…normal. Not exciting. An
accountant, for fuck’s sake!

Groaning softly, Reina pushed herself up into a sitting position,
burying her face in her arms for a moment. It didn’t matter right now
either way. Maybe she should have stayed at the Community Center…no.
No, she wanted to stay at the Community Center, but Acacia needed her
uncle back, and while Reina and Dipper didn’t always see eye to eye, she
loved him.

Acacia would find her, sooner or later, and they’d get Uncle Dipper back together, and everything would go back to normal.

beelieveinbees: What was all of the triplets first romantic partners?

Acacia: Reina, because she’s a big old weebus who married their high school partner. 

Hank: Ginger Martinez, in 7th grade. They went on three dates to the movies, one date to the park and one to go skating. Were each other’s mutual first kiss; Ginger broke it off because Hank chewed with his mouth open, was iffy on deodorant usage, and forgot Valentine’s Day. 

Willow: goes on one date with a goober named Chris while she’s figuring out her own sexual identity, figures out soon after she’s ace, does her own ace thing after that. 

for prompts: not sure if this would still fall under ‘triplets’ but maybe something with reina bc i always forget acacia has a wife and am really happy whenever i remember that.

seiya234:

It was the first night in their trailer, and Reina was starting to have her doubts.

Mainly, that this heater was not working as well as advertised.

Also, that maybe moving in in the middle of February was not the best of ideas.

Outside the window that was across the room from their bed, snow was beginning to fall, fat white flakes standing out against the dark of the night and the forest that surrounded their home. 

There was an ugly blort in her ear, and Reina stifled a giggle. Just because she was up at 2am in the morning didn’t mean her wife had to be either.

Wife.

Reina had a wife.

Reina was a wife, and the only reason she wasn’t taking a quick peak at her wedding ring to confirm the fact was that it was on her nightstand; it turned out that rings had a tendency to get tangled in hair whilst sleeping. Who knew? 

Reina turned over a little bit.

Acacia always ran hot, and had kicked off all of the covers as she had slept. No long pajamas for her, only a ratty long sleeved shirt that had once belonged to her brother, and the Halloween boxers Reina had bought on sale at WalMart.

She hadn’t shaved in a month, and Reina knew that if she reached out and touched Acacia’s legs she’d feel coarse red hair that was starting to curl and stand up a bit. If Reina let her hands move upwards she’d be able to trace the stretch marks that went across Acacia’s thighs and up to her hips. Continue on to the pot belly that was gently rolling out over the waistband of the boxers, brush against breasts that were different sizes (and had nipples that pointed in different directions. Reina didn’t know that boobs did that-)

Little pockmark scars across her chest, from scratching too much during a childhood bout of chicken pox, a big fat zit on Acacia’s chin that Reina was kind of itching to pop even though that was probably weird-

An eye. And a lack of an eye, exposed and bare under the little light offered by the lava lamp Hank had gifted them as a housewarming present. 

Wife. 

Reina was a wife.

Reina had a wife, and a trailer, and seven acres of forest with room for a dog maybe one day and for Acacia to paint, and a little shed for Reina to use as an office and Acacia’s sword collection-

“What you lookin’ at?” Acacia slurred, still half asleep. 

Reina smiled, and leaned in to kiss Acacia’s forehead. “You gorgeous. Now go back to sleep.”

“Kay.” As she settled herself down, long freckled arms reached out to draw Reina in, the big spoon to Reina’s little spoon.

Psychic Singularity Ch 02

phenyxsnest:

Mabel was the first to struggle to her feet, as her husband and
grunkles were still tangled up with each other on the floor, slowly
fighting their way free as she scrambled up.

She could hear the kids downstairs, Willow and Hank and Vivi crowding
around the bottom of the stairs and calling. Counting on having a
minute before they came upstairs, she tried to feel out for Dipper. The
bond from her to him was weaker than him to her, but usually she could
feel him, and pull on it to get him to come home.

She felt out and…nothing. She couldn’t feel anything from her
brother, at all, not the faintest hint of where he was or what he was
feeling, and that never happened, not unless…

Hoping he was just shielding from her, she started downstairs,
brushing past her Grunkles, who were now on their feet and glaring at
each other, though thankfully not fighting yet.

Usually she’d try and do something about that, but Henry gave her a
sigh and a nod as she looked at him, letting her know he’d take over
this time. She gave a half smile and hurried downstairs, knowing if she
stayed upstairs she’d get distracted trying to help.

“Your uncle’s having a freak out, your great-great-uncle threw holy
water at him and he disappeared, normal day in the Pines house,” she
called to her kids as she hurried past them into the kitchen.

Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! Headcannon: due to what I’m going to call “summoning experience” Acacia will at least try and barter half price on her glasses, as they only need one lense.

Reina tries to point out to her wife that she could wear contact lenses, to no avail.

Ten things about Reina Castaneda

1. If you pushed her on what her biggest, most secret fear is, it’d be that she’s not… exciting enough. Good enough. Weird enough for Acacia. I mean everyone in Gravity Falls knows about those wacky Pines and they’re all larger than life and she’s just… Reina Castaneda, born to a boring set of parents, moved to Gravity Falls halfway in school, is a fucking accountant for pete’s sake-

2. She loves Acacia to distraction, but honestly- the eyeball trick thing? Getting a little old.

3. Oddly enough, it’s Reina who is the Fun Parent (there’s always one) and Acacia who is the Strict Parent.

3.5. If you asked Acacia, it would be because she knows their little hellions and the tricks they get up to and-

3.75. If you ask Reina, she would tell you that Acacia is reading way too much of her own misbegotten youth into their own children who are perfectly good thank you very much.

4. The wildest thing Reina has ever done, in her eyes, is pose nude for Acacia to paint. Actually, more like things since it basically happens once every two or three months. (Reina is 44 years old and still hasn’t quite told her mother that there are essentially nude pictures of her out there floating around in the art sphere)

5. Acacia never got the point of pets, but Reina has throughout their relationship kept a series of pet box turtles. She loves how patient turtles are… also that her MIL knits little outfits for them which makes them even more fucking adorable.

6. It’s Reina who does the handiwork in the trailer. Partially because Acacia doesn’t have the patience for anything that can’t get fixed in ten minutes or less. But mostly because for all of the genius and fine motor skills her wife exhibits with the pen, the brush, the pencil, completely disappears the second she tries to do anything 3D.

7. Nito was named for Acacia’s uncles. His twin, her Josefa, she named for her Bisabuela. She didn’t remember much about Bisabuela, but she did remember old old hands holding hers, helping her shape numbers on the page for the first time.

8. Reina is patient, calm, cool, collected. She doesn’t like to hurt people or even think about hurting people; it’s Acacia who has that fire, that temper, that power. It drives her wife to distraction sometimes, when she mentions self defense classes or boxing lessons and Reina shakes her head no. She knows Acacia doesn’t understand; they lead dangerous lives (no, Acacia does) and Reina needs to be able to defend herself. But Reina knows, even if its dumb and foolhardy, that Acacia will come to rescue her. Always.

9. Reina likes Dipper well enough, but honestly? She doesn’t really have strong feelings towards him. He’s family, and he means a lot to her wife and her children but eh. He’s a little much for her.

9.5 Dipper thinks it’s because he’s a demon. Reina would point out that she finds that he tries like, way too hard and she’s thought that since she first met him.

10. Reina is allergic to avocados. The day she told the Pines family, Mabel declared it a day of mourning and spent the rest of the week trying to make a guacamole fascimile for Reina.
