Hello there, my name is Katherine. Though I don't mind being called Kat. I currently reside in the town of 'Gravity Falls', though I am originally from the UK. I work as a historian, and have recently been documenting and discovering historical accounts from the town I reside in. I currently plan to condense these noted down into one organised text for future use.

Though... I will say this town gives me a tad bit of an odd feeling. Some things unnerve me but.. I guess that's just part of the experience of exploring long abandoned areas. It's simply a rational reaction, and I can confirm I am okay.

I do have a few boundaries on here, and I believe I should lay these out.

1. No suggestive asks please, nor any NSFW. It just makes me uncomfortable and I don't wish to engage with it.

2. All blogs are welcome! (/Though I'll especially interact with gravity falls & gravity falls oc rp blogs but I'll try respond to as many people as possible/)

3. Please be respectful — especially towards me and others. I'll be trying to respond to people.

I feel like a home design expert every time I redecorate this room. Except everything is throwing me off at the same time.

Have you tried wearing a parachute or a jet-pack? Ha-ha!

localresidenthistorian

No but I have tried walking in and out of the room repeatedly. I think I need to get a spirit level and make sure everything is level.

That would be a logical route to take. Good luck. I hope you do not encounter any level 3+ ghouls!

localresidenthistorian

I meant a spirit level as in this, a bubble level/level.. as in all of the surfaces are level.

...Yes, that certainly makes more sense, doesn't it?

localresidenthistorian

Yes.. that makes more sense.. last I checked my house isn't haunted. Atleast I don't think it is..

It can be exceedingly difficult to tell! I would recommend staying away from raves until you are absolutely sure.

localresidenthistorian

I don't go to parties nor raves anyways. They give me headaches and I hate the loud noise.

I should've assumed so. That's only logical, after all. I've only attended raves for the motivation of scientific results.

localresidenthistorian

Fair enough. Anyways I'm gonna go finish redecorating.

Ah hello there. You're that.. that other guy. Sorry, but it usually takes a few meetings for me to remember people's names. Unless we've never met before? Though, I do believe I have seen you somewhere before. Pleasure to meet you, in that case.

⌛️📜

well, i don't remember meetin' ya yet so.. my name is fiddleford! what's yours?

localresidenthistorian

Ah then yes, I don't presume we've met! I'm Katherine. I'm a historian. Pleasure to meet you, Fiddleford.

Hello, Stanford. I'm just wondering what plant/flower do you think smells the nicest? I passed by some wisteria today and it reminded me to ask this question. Personally I adore wisteria, but I also love lavender.

This one's not a plant per se, but I also love the scent of rain. Such as before the rain starts, during and after the rainfall itself.

⌛️📜

Ah! Hello, Katherine! Wonderful question. In my opinion, I believe that either Alstroemeria or Myosotis ("forget-me-nots") are arguably the best smelling flowers, although I may be biased—they are quite beautiful. Additionally, I agree with your sentiment on rainfall. It is quite pleasant!

localresidenthistorian

In all honesty, I can't say I've ever seen forget-me-nots recently, but they are quite beautiful. Though I am glad we can agree on rain. I personally enjoy the rain, especially when I'm indoors and get to relax.

Well.. as much as I could relax..

Oh, I believe I identified a few in the forest the other day. They're quite a wonderful sight. Furthermore, if you need any aid relaxing, I am happy to loan you one of my Beethoven records! It certainly helps me, especially in moments where I am feeling particularly on-edge.

localresidenthistorian

I think I can cope for now. I have my own record collection that I'm building upon right now. I'm not personally inclined to listen to classic music when I'm.. stressed per se.

I see. The offer remains if you'd ever like to try. I hope you find some relaxation soon. It is quite impressive that you, too, have a record collection! Music is a wonderful thing.

localresidenthistorian

My dad always has records. If anything, he instilled the collecting habit in me. Thank you for the offer, Stanford.

Interesting... This seems to be an icebreaker or information collector of some sort. I suppose it wouldn't hurt.

favorite color ꕀ I particularly enjoy maroon (I'm sure that's quite obvious from my attire)! Otherwise, I don't mind a nice shade of yellow or a bright shade of green.

last song ꕀ I believe the last song I listened to, yesterday or the previous, would've been "I'm Set Free" by The Velvetzf cg Underground. Either that or "Serenade No. 6 In D Major, Op. 25" by Beethoven.

currently reading ꕀ I am currently in the process of re-reading the original "The Invisible Man" novel by H.G. Wells!

currently watching ꕀ Two birds interacting outside of the window. It is quite interesting.

currently craving ꕀ Knowledge!

coffee or tea ꕀ I agree with the previous choice. Tea is often superior.

I presume I have to "tag" somebody now. @localresidenthistorian @plutoniclol @fiddlesfords @daughter-of-the-author , you were the four to show up when I typed the "@" symbol, therefore you have been chosen!

localresidenthistorian

A tag game? Sounds fun. Guess I'll have a go.

Favourite colour: Probably Electric Violet if you're talking specifically, but if you're not then probably Purple.

Last song: Raoul and The Kings of Spain by Tears for Fears. One of my favourite songs of all time.

Currently reading: A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens. I have to say I do prefer classic literature over more modern texts.

Currently watching: I don't.. really watch TV in all honesty.

Currently craving: A nice, warm traditional roast dinner. I miss the warm, wholesome meals from my home country.

Coffee or Tea? Tea. I'm British, and yes I fall into stereotypes. I prefer tea over coffee any day of the week.

As for tags.. here I go. I only really have one.

@katttkhaos

Hey so just wondering FOR A FRIEND uh.

How do I put this.. how do you avoid the feeling of being watched???

I don't like this I'm pretty sure I saw a spider and its setting me off.

YES IM ASKING FOR A FRIEND I SWEAR.

(⌛️📜)

Right...

I certainly understand that feeling. I'm not entirely sure if you can directly stop that feeling, other than with typical grounding methods, but I do have some ideas as to how you can counter-act it. Have you tried wearing a headband with two extending mirrors at the sides? That way, if you believe somebody to be nearby, you can tilt it to look for them yourself.

Personally, I heavily doubt there's anybody watching you, nonetheless a spider. You are not the focus of an arachnid.

localresidenthistorian

Thats ever so slightly comforting but I can't shake that feeling. I know I'm being irrational by thinking its the spider but I can't just drop the feeling. And I would try that but I don't really have any mirrors right now. Unfortunately, they've all been shattered by my own errors. I think I might just.. try and get some rest. I'm probably just tired anyways..

Yes, sleeping would be very helpful. I do hope this feeling passes you by in time for you to wake up. Sleep well.

localresidenthistorian

I... think it worked? Though I might be too tired to tell. It wasn't the best night's sleep I got by any means but it wasn't too bad. Had a weird dream but those just happen sometimes.

You're the book man.. You're the book man. I can't picture you any other way.

(⌛️📜)

The... book man? Are you perhaps referring to the Journals? As I did pridefully write those.

localresidenthistorian

Yes, I am referring to them. Hence the title "Book Man". I'm not creative (thats a lie I am) Hello there, Book man.

Ah! I'm glad we cleared that up. I was worried that I was going to end up being framed as some sort of mythological anomaly (although, that wouldn't entirely bother me) instead of the scientist that I am. Hello! Not to conform to natural conversational flow, but, what is your name, if I may ask?

Side note: do not feel bad for the seemingly obvious title. Many simply refer to me as The Author—and although I adore that title, I don't mind a new one once in a while. You can simply refer to me as "Stanford" or "Dr. Pines" if you would prefer that.

localresidenthistorian

Ah right, apologies for not introducing myself. My name is Katherine, I'm a Historian. I.. er.. must say it's quite the.. pleasure to meet you.

Hm.. Those journals..

As I said before, nice to meet you, Stanford.

A historian! Extraordinary! I have a lot to thank about you and your study for aiding my sourcing throughout my years of my own studies. It is wonderful to meet you as well, Katherine.

localresidenthistorian

I mean.. you're welcome! I've had to draw a lot from historical accounts and records myself. Someone with 12 PHDs is something astounding in its own right. I can't say I would've pursued science, though maybe if I had the chance I would've studied Biochemistry...

Ha-ha! Thank you. My achievement in education is a badge I proudly wear. Biochemistry is a wonderful choice! Do you read up on it often? I wouldn't blame you. It's a very interesting topic. Quite the shame that talking about biochemistry in social situations isn't commonplace, otherwise it would likely be my go-to. Either that or the geomagnetic field.

localresidenthistorian

Hm.. I try to research things related to disease, but my main interest in the subject lies in homeostasis. Not for uhm.. any particular reason! The systems of the body are quite interesting if I do say so myself...

Homeostasis! An incredibly interesting concept! I do concur, the human body is quite a wonderful thing to study and observe, especially its natural systems in defense of disease or perceived attack. Although, despite my travels and experience, I believe the anatomy of octopodes have to be my all-time preference when it comes to choosing functional systems. I'm not entirely sure why. They're simply a highlight for me in the field of biology.

localresidenthistorian

Unrelated to Biochemistry itself, but I personally find the genetics of cats quite interesting. Though I might have to go for a bit soon. Thank you for the discussion, Stanford.
