Robbie the Reluctant Role Model

phenyxsnest:

Based on a request for Robbie/twin interactions with Robbie as the world’s most reluctant role model.

On AO3 // On FF.net

Robbie Valentino and the Pines family had a somewhat complicated relationship.

They could stand each other, which was an improvement, but there was baggage on both sides.

So in general, they avoided each other. Or at least, Robbie avoided the sister, since the brother wasn’t exactly…around all the time. He’d never admit it, but a lot of that was guilt, for how he and Dipper had felt about each other while Dipper had been…had been human.

Until Wendy read him the riot act.

That wouldn’t have been enough except, well, Wendy was right, and he was treating the currently sixteen year old Mabel a lot like the people back in Piedmont had, and it took about five seconds of watching her after Wendy had yanked his head back out of his ass to realize it hurt the kid.

And maybe Robbie felt just a little bit guilty. Fine, the kids had been, well, kids when all the personal biz went down, and he was being silly for holding a grudge. Mabel had always been kind of okay, if a bit too loud and rainbow for him. And she’d really gone out of her way to set him up with Tambry…

Ugh. Growing up was the worst. He had to, like, care about other people’s feelings now. Or at least he had to or be the asshole, and be self aware enough now to realize he was being one.

theitalianscribe: When was the first time Henry called Stan Grunkle?

Henry doesn’t really call Stan “Grunkle.” Henry in many ways is very formal and reserved, and that term doesn’t come to his mouth easily, except telling the kids something WRT Stan.

But here’s the thing.

At some point four or five months into courting Mabel, “Mr. Pines” slowly morphs into just “Stan.” Soon it’s “Stan, do you want a beer from the fridge?” or “Stan, let me get those books for you,” instead of the awkward and vaguely scared silences that Stan had gotten used to.

Did Hank ever date any supernatural beings?

One of his boyfriends in high school was Tommy Tarantella, who as a were-swan and the football team’s quarterback held the school record for most turnovers allowed in a season and most bones broken on the field. (People with bird bones should probably not play contact sports.)

When did Reina start having a crush on Acacia?

A few months after Acacia does! She doesn’t admit it for a long time for much of the same reasons.

Does Willow live in the Shack or next to it (when she took up the Library)?

In the Shack! She has all of her foster kids to take care of after all, and it just makes sense.

What is everyone’s favorite ice cream flavor?

Henry: Pistachio

Acacia: Rocky Road

Hank: Coffee

Willow: Chocolate chip cookie dough

Dipper: tie between

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.

From the transdimensional arc after Alcor shapeshifts into a dragon and takes Dipper and Mabel on a ride, people at Gravity Falls see the sight. Stan gets the idea to use that as an attraction and charge people extra if they want to ride the “dragon”. And they’re not responsible for any injuries or damages that might occur during the ride.

Alcor, having learned from a great deal of experience (and from Stan) that people pay to see shows, not realities, deliberately shapeshifts into an apparently fake recreation of an animatronic dragon. No flying or rides perhaps (aside from photo ops, ~~$20~~ $200 per picture) but he does breathe fire and roar and move at unexpected moments to make people scream and then chuckle at themselves because oh it’s not real, of course not, silly me.

It drives young Dipper mad. This is honestly the whole point. Well, this and the cooler of choice steaks Stan promised for the job.

Tau Holiday Special preview

theitalianscribe:

For the purpose of this fic, I’m going to go with the idea that the Pines are Jewish and let’s say that Anna is Italian so the twins celebrate both Hanukkah and Christmas. In addition, there was a fanmade holiday special that said Quinton Tremblay banned Christmas in Gravity Falls due to his Claustrophobia. In this fic, that is cannon.

Twas the twins’ first winter in Gravity Falls, and Mabel was so ready to deck the halls.
She wanted to hang stockings on the chimney with care, but, alas, she cried, “Hey! I can’t find them anywhere!”
“Can’t find what?” Stan asked in response to her whine
“The stockings, Grunkle Stan, and the tinsel and twine
“You know, decorations,” Mabel said with a pout,
“Hey, where is Dipper? Come on, Bro! Help me out!”
With a prick of her thumb, Mabel wiped blood on the floor, and from the carved circle rose the dorky Alcor.
“Did you need to yell? I’d come when I was able?” Dipper rolled his eyes. “Anyway, what’s up…..orange?”

{Scrudge you, too! Bah, you’re no fun. Fine, but this isn’t over.}

“Huh?” Mabel tilted her head.
Dipper pointed to the fruit dangling from Mabel’s nick on a rope. There was a manora with one flame carved into the orange’s skin and the stem and bud had been wrapped in tin foil. Mabel inspected the fruit and beamed.
“Oh, this. I couldn’t find my ornament necklace so I improvised. Plus, I can have it as a snack later if I get hungry gift shopping. Speaking of ornaments,” Mabel turned to their relative, “Grunkle Stan do you have ornaments? Or any Christmas decorations?”
“No. I don’t do Christmas.”
“But you’re going to decorate the Shack, right? You must have some rivalry with the Gleefuls over having a better light show.”
“You bet your a..you bet I do! And with your brother’s help, this place will be covered in lights and snowmen. But the town doesn’t do Christmas either. It’s banned.”
“Wait, seriously?” Dipper disappeared for a moment and returned with a laptop covered in puffy paint and glitter glue. “Huh. Mabel, there’s a law in Gravity Falls against celebrating or even mentioning Christmas.”
“Really? Whose idea was that?”
Dipper scanned the screen and frowned. “It doesn’t say. I bet you a bag of gilt that it was Quinton Tremblay.”
“Psh! No way. White elephant gifts? ‘Ugly’ Christmas sweaters? Raindeer antler headbands? Door-to-door caroling? Breaking into houses to leave gifts? The holiday is a silliness extravaganza.”

Day 23 of

The Days of TAU Christmas

The first day – The previous day – Eventual link to the next day

This day on Ao3

Whoo, I’ve been busy today. Today’s chapter is short, but hopefully sweet. It’s about time I wrote these people. Enjoy.

Henry stood on the porch and looked out at
a landscape of snow.

It fell just this morning, before the sun
rose, and already footprints crisscrossed it. A couple lines of small, hurried
prints streaked straight across the yard, marking where a few gnomes had been
eager to come home to a warm hut and good friends. Much larger, deeper prints
showed where the multibear came by earlier, delivering presents from both
himself and several other forest inhabitants. The snow on the totem pole was
already melted from the perching firebirds.

In Transdimensional, how would Stan attempt to use Alcor to scare tourist or use him as an attraction? And what kind of cons would they go through considering Alcor’s improved on his skills and learned from the best? Pretty sure Alcor would go through it for the heck of it or is acting like the sane man and is enjoying seeing Stan’s reaction to him denying his attempts to make him an attraction.

As far as Stan knows, anything is possible. Or perhaps hardly anything is. Transdimensional Stan might know more about the supernatural than he lets on, but he’s still probably not going to have a wealth of information on demons and their powers to make use of. So maybe he tries, but he has no clue if any hypothetical trade offers are fair or not. For all he knows, this Alcor guy could be gouging him. If he learned anything from the Stan of the other dimension himself, he could be.

That said, Alcor might very well chose the path of denial rather than deals. It’s entertaining if nothing else. That, and he’s been this route before, with his Grunkle Stan, and it hurts to remember or realize that soon he’ll be gone from this dimension and he’ll lose them all over again.

verisimilitude grunkle stan

seiya234:

Grunkle Stan cracked his knuckles, the noise of the crowd covering the sound, and got his heisting hand good and ready.

Ahead, his target walked on unaware, braying into his cell phone. Out of the back pocket of his stupid three hundred dollar jeans was his wallet, practically hanging out for everyone to see and anyone to take. It looked nice and fat too, bulging with plastic and paper.

Cut Stan off in traffic would he? Flip his car off with impressionable young children inside? Oh Stan was going to show him alright. No one flipped off Stan Pines and got away with it!

Stan’s hand began to casually reach forward as he got closer to the asshole- and then a tiny hand grabbed one of his fingers.

Stan looked down, to see Hank staring back up at him, hazel eyes big and wide.

“Grunkle Stan, what’re you doing?” Hank asked. “Are you saying hi to people?”

Fuck.

Fuck goddamnit shit fuck crap fuck it all to hell damnit

Mabel and Dipper actually had these kids believing he was a… a…

Stan shuddered slightly with disgust.

-good person.

Hank smiled at him, gap toothed as he lost two teeth in a row last Saturday. His little overalls had monkeys on them.

Stan blew out his breath, and with only slight pain, bent over to pick Hank up in his arms, causing his nephew to giggle.

“Yeah buddy, I am. I think they’ll be more likely to say hi to you.”

Who the kids thought he was? That wasn’t true.

But they thought so, so he should probably try and live up to it, damnit.

(That being said, he did get close enough to trip that douchebag on his way to the cotton candy booth. There was only so much goodness Stan could manage in a day.)

hc: after a few hundred years, dipper begins to loathe twin souls. but its not just because of the book itself anymore. every time he sees them, all he can think about is how mabel would buy so many of them and get them signed, she would read them all to him and henry and his niblets, and oh god how he misses mabel. and stan would sell them at the shack sometimes too, and how long has it been since stan’s died? he hates that he can’t remember

Congratulations, you have made a parody/joke concept in this AU legitimately sad! 😀
