Defying Gravity AU

  During Steven's long road-trip around the country, he stumbled upon a small, sleepy town named Gravity Falls. However, once he enters the town, he realises that a mysterious force is keeping him in, and while he tries to break through the unusual forcefield surrounding the town, he must adapt to the strange new town he's trapped in.(Summer Job AU)

Greetings!

Hello, and welcome to the official tumblr for my fanfic, Defying Gravity, inspired by the amazing Summer Job AU by @ray-the-fae

The AU takes place Post Steven Universe: Future, but Pre Gravity Falls, with Steven arriving before the fateful Summer begins.

After feeling a strange presence upon entering the town, he discovers there's a magical barrier that is keeping him trapped inside. With very little money and no place to stay, he tries to get a job at the local tourist trap, the Mystery Shack, unaware of what magical adventures he'll run into.

This AU is much more LGBT inclusive than the original show (Rip Disney but I'm different) Including:

-Dipper is Trans!Male in this AU, and is lightly misgendered in chapters 2 and 3, as well as being Bisexual

-Mabel is Pansexual

-Wendy is a Lesbian, and will Not be dating Robbie

-Pacifica is also a Lesbian, sorry Dipcifica shippers but it's Girl Time

-Stanford is asexual and homoromantic

-Fiddleford McGucket is a closeted gay man, with a wife and son

-Stanley is also Trans!Male and bisexual, however it's not as widely touched upon

If any of these interpretations make you uncomfortable, I would suggest not reading! My intent isn't to ostracise anyone, but I understand not everyone will see these characters the same way as I do.

This was the first time i ever read something bigger than comics in english, and I'm so happy i choose this story i really love it! Take your time with the hiatus, okay? Congrats on the amazing work

Thank you! I’m really glad you liked it! Right now I’m working on other things but I definitely plan on coming back to this at some point

[defying-gravity-au]

Hi! I really loved your story! I really wanted to know though! What kind of ideas did you have for if/when Bill tries to possess Steven? A gem's mind and body are kind of super intertwined, so would Steven's, like, "spirit" get forced out like Dipper's did? Would Pink Steven Himself make an appearance? Honestly, I just really like Angery™ Steven so any excuse for him to be so is alright with me. He never gets to be angry in canon, barring that fight with Jasper, and we know how that went.

My idea was actually, instead of a possession, they were going to fuse! Sort of like a malachite situation, with Bill being so unbelievably dominant that there’s barely any Steven left. In fact, he Meant to possess Steven but they fused instead because Steven’s spirit is attached to his gem so he can’t really force it out. So yeah it was gonna be a lot more difficult to hide the fact that something was going on and his plan gets derailed a little with all these new thoughts and feelings and it basically becomes this story of Bill fighting with Steven for control. Eventually Steven wins and forces Bill out of the fusion, but for a while it’s pretty intense and frightening.

hii how u doing? Sorry if you answered this already, but what are Steven and Connie's sexualitys?

Hi! I don't think I mentioned it yet so this is a great question! Steven is Pansexual and Connie is Bisexual!

I digitalized some doodles that I had already had for a few weeks, maybe I should have done them separately, but it was too late xd

And well, the second drawing, the one on the right, is like that, a scene (?, Of a story that I've been reading, which seems pretty cool to me, and also the clothes that Steven puts on I like very (@defying-gravity-au )

So hey, that's it, I'll probably go digital more doodles I have lying around

[defying-gravity-au]

Thank you so much for this I really appreciate it!

[defying-gravity-au]

Thank you! Everyone has been really supportive, I appreciate everyone’s patience!

GOING ON HIATUS

Sorry to disappoint anyone who was waiting for the next content, but this au is going on hiatus.

WHY- My mental health took a bit of a nose dive recently and I've been struggling with motivation. I want to focus on bettering it and hopefully rediscovering my passion for this au.

WHEN WILL THIS COME BACK- I'm honestly not sure, maybe never. I really love this au and I had so many ideas but I can't seem to write anything down.

WILL YOU STILL BE ACTIVE ON TUMBLR- Yes, I decided to devote my energy to answering any questions about the story people had. I planned the entire story up to the ending and past for the gravity falls show, so if you had any questions about how certain storylines or plotlines would work out, please send an ask and I'll answer to the best of my ability

Again, I'm sorry to anyone who was enjoying this, I hope you can understand

Chapter 8 Outfit!

Steven can and Will wear different clothes in each chapter, so here are some sketches of each outfit Per chapter!

All of the Steven outfits used are of my own design, the outline is based off of the Save The Light Steven Universe style.

I’m kinda curious as to what the long version of the dream sequence in Ch 7 involved

I wanted Steven to be slightly more invested with the whole Drama involving headhunters- Since that's the episode that's revolving around him- So originally he was going to compile like a Theory Board similar to what he's seen in movies to try and figure out Why Stan was so upset. However, he doesn't really know how it all works so it's mostly just random points and stuff. Anyway Bill was gonna he his partner in crime, since Steven figured since Bill was So Interested in the town he'd want to help. (Little does He know, Bill Doesn't) so Bill instead mentions he found a link through Steven he wants to try, (Read; Possesion) but in order for it to work, Steven has to remain in the mindscape.

And then the rest of the chapter was gonna be a series of cuts between Bill messing with the Pines (since not all chapters will be in Steven's perspective, which you guys will see Soon) as 'Steven' or Billven, which is what I call the possession an then Steven Completely unaware and coming up with wacky and ridiculous theories.

I cut this mainly bc the whole Theorising thing doesn't really make sense with Steven's character and it felt a little Too early for Bill to possess Steven.

Aaaanyway, sorry for the long rant but I hope this answered your question!

Chapter 7 Outfit Designs

Steven can and Will wear different clothes in each chapter, so here are some sketches of each outfit Per chapter! That’s right! There’s TWO!!  Chapter link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/24308473/chapters/60425257

The first outfit is what Steven wore in the dream sequence with Bill, which was originally gonna be a lot longer, but I cut it down. The second outfit is what he wears during the day, which i think is Steven’s attempt at high fashion. Is he successful? All of the Steven outfits used are of my own design, the outline is based off of the Save The Light Steven Universe style.

Is Bill going to be an irredeemable little devil like in the show or are you going to force an redemption arc?

No amount of singing or friendship is gonna stop Bill! He's a Jerk and he likes it! Chaos is his only interest!
