I’m just going to leave this here
Finished a new piece. I think it speaks to my state of mind. Notice the fine details. :)
Gravity Falls LIVES!
So, just like so many other fans, with the release of the Book of Bill and everything, I've been re-watching the show alot and I've decided to add to the ever growing piles of Gravity Falls Fandom greatness/fun! So here are some of a Head cannons with the Falling Stars AU. *Just a note, I was not in the fandom when it was first coming out, and recently only got to find out about some of the cool AUs out there so that is part of what has caused this lol* For those like me who are learning about some of the cool AUs- Falling Stars is an AU of what if Mabel had been pulled into the portal in EP "Not what He Seems".
Also a note, I have not read book of Bill, the third journal or the comic that was published as I just have not had the chance so alot of this information/stuff I know referencing them, I will admit I got from Tik Tok so bare with me! Head Cannons that I might do one-shots on later:
-Dipper makes his parents give Stan full custody of him and Mabel with child support. The nightmare he has about his parents arguing is regarding how neither of them want either of the twins after their divorce as they find them creep/freaky and would not 'mesh' with their new families. (He could never tell Mabel of what he heard-She knew though)
-Mabel mistook Ford for Stan at first when he saved her from a black hole that was the cause of her being sucked into the portal. She spent hours clinging to him and just sob babbling. (This is also how Ford learned who she was and what likely happened)
-Mabel went into shock for four weeks after realizing what happened and that there isn't a quick/easy way to get home. (She learns to cope by being her 'normal' bubbly weird self.)
-Stan's panic, fear, and freak out in trying to get Mabel back in those early days is what allowed Dipper to not blame him for what happened and actually sit down and hear him out about why he was building the portal. (This would be basically the EP of Tale of Two Stans)
-Dipper has been allowed into Stan's mind/memories with his permission. This started with Stan wanting to regain Dipper's trust and then grew into their search for clues on repairing the portal that Dipper might be able to figure out that Stan couldn't.
-Dipper and Stan spend years trying to get the portal working again, even though Stan forces him to socialize and not stop living his life/existing.
-After Mabel and Ford finally get back, they are able to explain the reason that the portal couldn't just be turned back on due to how dangerous it was. (Back to back uses could rip reality apart fully if not the very planet itself.)
-Mabel acts like her old silly self as not only a coping method but as a way to hold to who she once was, but she can flip on a dime into a serious warrior survival type mode.
-Pacifica and Dipper started dating in high school. Since the weirdness continues in Gravity Falls (and outside it) they grow closer during one of these situations. -Dipper found out that Pacifica is actually really smart, she even ends up joining him and Stan on working on the portal. -She honestly does love Dipper.
-Wendy and Stan ended up 'forcefully' teaching Dipper how to be 'athletic' in their own ways. -Stan got him into boxing and gifted him his own brass knuckles -Wendy got him into parkour and rock climbing. - Pacifica got him into light gymnastics; but he won't talk to anyone else about it.
-Dipper blames himself for Mabel being pulled into the portal and believes that if he had just trusted Stan none of it would have happened.
-Mabel blames herself for getting pulled in, believing that if she hadn't let go of the button she wouldn't have been so easily pulled in and is worried about what has happened to Stan and Dipper.
-Stan taught Dipper how to pick locks as a hobby and 'male bonding' -Pacifica picked it up and is better at it then both of them.
-Dipper took up photography and found that he has the talent and skill to be professional. He started this so that he could continue Mabel's scrapbooks. -Pacifica, Greta and Candy now do a weekly scrapbook day after finding Dipper spiraling at 14 trying to balance his time doing everything.
-Ford made Mabel a digital journal/camera that she can wear as either a watch or a pendant so that she can record/photograph their journey to show Dipper when they get home. -Ford lost hope finding a way home long ago, but he doesn't want her to become like him.
-Greta has become a very popular travel influence/blogger thanks to her royal boyfriend. They are in love and very loyal to each other. -She likes to collect things from her travels to give to Mabel when she returns.
-Candy is on her way to become an internationally acclaimed robotics and prosthetics engineer. -She helps ensure Dipper's protective gear actually works.
-Pacifica has become independently wealthy away from her family due to her skills in finances and stocks. She also handle's Dipper's investments and patents as well as McGucket's. -She basically runs the fiances for the Shack, Stan and Dipper as she claims they are money morons- they are of course. -She has made sure the shack has been kept up and all the work is properly funded for the portal repairs.
-Dipper moved into Ford's old room after a year and a half as he couldn't handle seeing Mabel's things, but couldn't bring himself to move or touch them either.
-Waddles is/has been taken care of by everyone as every single person can't imagine how sad Mabel would be if she returned and he was gone.
-Mabel is known across the multiverse as the greatest matchmaker in any reality. She has made a solid name for herself and brings in 'funds' for her and Ford's travels. -She is even sought out by multiverse royalty for her skills in finding compatible matches that are known to be long lasting.
-Ford calls Mabel Kirk as she left a trail of broken hearts through their travels by no fault of her own as someone 'always' fell head over heels for her; even if she was clueless about it. -Mabel doesn't get the reference.
-After Mabel returns, she has kept in contact with some of the friends she made in traveling with a crystal flower that she keeps safe. When she first got back it looks like she was just talking to herself freaking out Dipper and Stan, but they eased when Ford explained what was going on during a particular heated conversation she was having with someone's who's language is to shout aggressively.
-Dipper grew his hair out because it reminds him of Mabel; he normally wears it tied back or braided when he is working.
-Mabel cut her hair short because it reminds her of Dipper; Ford isn't the best barber so Mabel learned how to do both their hair for him.
-Mabel takes out at least three of Bill's friends during Weirdmageddon herself. Stan is both horrified and deeply impressed.
I'm sure I'll think of more and might just add on to this lol.
I hope everyone enjoys some of my HC!

Winner Winner
And it looks like Bitten is the winner for book 1 for my June attempt!
Hopeful for the new month
Hello again Tumblr, I found my way back yet again.
After another lost handful of time due to the awesome ongoing battles of the minds, I am hoping to spark some joy back into the things I used to do in life.
My goal for the next two months is to read at least 4 books.
When I was younger I used to be able to read a book, no matter the size at most in a 3 day span, and that was around school and the various activities that I was pushed into.
Now....I want to try again.
The Four Books that I will be trying will be:
*Insert drumroll*
LegendBorn
2. A River of Royal Blood
3. Crown of Feathers
4. Bitten
Bitten is actually a re-read. I originally read the Women of the Otherworld Series by Kelley Armstrong when they were first coming to America.
Looking back now I can see how they were not really appropriate for someone that young ^^; but honestly that series was a life line for me for many years, and I have recently become blessed to finally collect the fully series again! As well as the original two anthologies!
Now, to take a deep breath, and pick a book.............
I think I am going to plug these into a random spinning wheel to help me figure that leap out.
Well everyone, send me luck and happy June 1st.
January 2023
So, month one is down and I kinda did and kinda didn't keep up with what I wanted to do for this year.
I did managed to read 2 things, but they weren't what I expected. Original I had planned to read 2 of my printed books from my massive TBR stack, but in the end, I actually ended up reading 2 manhwa's, and one is still ongoing.
I read, Solo Leveling and then Omniscience Reader.
And honestly, I was surprised at how much I enjoyed both of them. I have already put Solo Leveling on my To buy carts for amazon and on top of that, I am looking into possibly even finding copies of the lightnovel. And if/when Omniscience Reader comes out in english I will likely be buying it as well.
So here are some of my thoughts of both!
Solo Leveling:
Normally, I am not a fan of OP(Over Powered) MCs (Main Characters), but honestly with this story I fell in love with Sung Jin-Woo.
I fell in love watching this character grow and fight into the badass that he becomes. The storyline, while mildly predictable due to the genre, was engaging, and honestly threw a few twists that I was not expecting. I enjoyed that the character development, and who this character was at his core in the start of the story, stayed there all the way until the end.
His personality of course is altered through events that take place in the story, but it happens to me, in a surprisingly natural way. While reading, I wasn't confused by why he would make the choices he did, or annoyed by them. It was refreshing.
Now I know the first thought is likely confusion as to why I am talking about this story now, after all this time of it being out, I mean, not only is it 3 books in in English print, but we are looking at a show coming out for it! For me though, it is something kinda big. I was raised to treat any 'popular' piece of media was beneath me, because if others liked it, it obviously was far to 'simple' for my 'big brain.'
Yes, I had 'those' parents that shaped my squishy lil brain as a child. So, lately, I have finally started to take steps to break that ingrained thought process and habit and start stepping outside my bubbles, finally. That is how I decided to try Solo Leveling. The most I had heard was that it had an OP MC and honestly that was it. I understand that the only reason I had heard just that much was due to my slight avoidance and active ignoring things about it.
I regret that, but it did work out for me in the end. I was lucky enough due to not reading it soon, to binge read all of the main story and now I excitedly wait for the side stories.
So this is my little non-spoiler review for Solo Leveling! I encourage others to read it if they want to enjoy a good story with some beautiful artwork.
Now we move on too-
Omniscience Reader:
I was so, so not expecting to enjoy this ongoing story! I had just come off reading Solo Leveling and didn't think I would find something I would like so quickly! I had heard that it was good, but again, like everyone I take things with a grain of salt, but I was surprised.
I have been loving, watching this snarky little dork grow as a character and honestly the surprises that have been revealed in they story, has planted it as one that I would love to one day own, and see evolve like Solo Leveling has.
I won't say much on it as it is still an ongoing project, but I am loving it as it go and I am so excited to see how one day it will end in the far far future!
I recommend both of these for just about anyone to read and enjoy!
2023 Goals
Here are some of my ideals of what I hope to do in the upcoming year of 2023.
Will this happen, likely not, but I would like to think I tried, even a little.
Read 2 books a month
Write a small review/notes-anything about the read books.
Finish 1 writing project.
Have room fully set up and functional (fuck you adhd).
Work out 2x a week, even something light.
Break the depression cycle in self care.
Finish 2 video games instead of leaving them unfinished just before the end.
Like myself just a little bit better.
Game masks?
Has anyone else played a game through, whether it be alone, or where others can see, and you feel that you have to do perfect in the game? I'll use Pokemon as my example for this. I play Pokemon, mostly on the switch, as that is what I have had access too. I have finished Sword and Shield, and have done the main story line for Pokemon Violet (A bit behind in the dex filling, but I'm getting there). But now I have set myself up a sub account on my switch to play these games though again, will likely add Legends and such in there as well, and I feel like there is no to little stress in doing so for that sub account.
I once thought that it was that need to be perfect in first attempt, thank you childhood trauma, but I have used Let's go Eevee as a test and restarted the same game on the same account, and I feel that weird....masking pressure with it still, something I'm not finding with the second account, with the same games.
It makes me wonder if it is trauma, or connected to my adhd or something else.
