This year, continuing the GF 10th Anniversary celebrations, I decided to do a kind of tribute to some of the show’s minor characters through the group’s Summerween costume choices! I’d be surprised if you can’t guess all of these, but I’ll put the key below a read-more below (which also serves as a descriptive image ID.)
Also, bonus:
(The bonus is Xyler and Craz, dressed as the grunkles who are dressed like them. Xyler is wearing Stan’s suit and fez, while Craz is wearing Ford’s tan trenchcoat, red sweater, black pants and brown boots. They are doing their “fun dance” from Dreamscaperers.)
From left to right, above:
Fiddleford as Tyler Cutebiker (the “puma shirt / panther shirt” returning in the next season is one of my favorite little sight-gags in the show).
Ford as Dreamboy Craz, talking to Fiddleford. (Going the extra mile with the dyed hair! Mabel helped.)
Stan as Dreamboy Xyler.
Wendy as Deep Chris from Sev’ral Timez, talking to Melody and Soos.
Melody as Bud Gleeful, seated on the couch next to Soos as Bats Biker. (Annoyed at myself for this one; realized way too late that the pose I’d chosen for Soos and Melody would block the actual “BATS” tattoo.)
Below:
Grenda as Manly Dan.
Candy as Toby Determined.
Dipper as Farmer Sprott.
Mabel as Quentin Trembley.
Pacifica as the Mattress King.
(Background is a screenshot-redraw/adaptation, of the Shack’s back porch, with the couch, and various decorations for Summerween, like a jack o’ melon, and eye-bat decorations. Xyler and Craz are, obviously I think, based directly on their fun dance in Dreamscaperers. I have a real soft spot for those boys.)
Decided to do a little something for the occasion with the Maternity-verse boys dressing up as werewolves and scaring people.
(Btw, due to me having missed out on all the other GF events the previous week, this also counts as a celebration piece for the 10 year anniversary, Stan and Ford's birthday, and Alex and Ariel's birthday)
A long moment of stillness then- Hadron’s not sure he’s even breathing- before Stanford flicks the splinter away and lurches up out of his chair. He disappears into the kitchen and Hadron hears him flinging open drawers one by one. A minute later and he’s back, this time with a staple gun dangling from one hand.
Stanford slaps it down on the desk and drops back into his seat. He swivels it around to face Hadron and smirks at him, legs loosely spread, arms folded. His body language is that of a cheerful, confident man, and he looks ten years younger. Hadron doesn’t recognize him.
“How ‘bout you call your wife?” says Stanford. He smiles. Hadron can’t see his eyes behind the reflection of his glasses, but he knows what he’d see if he could.
All it took was a phone call from an old friend to get Fiddleford H. McGucket up and out of the garage. Now he's starting to wish that he'd stayed there.
I had hoped to finish this fic in time to post the whole thing today, but sadly I’m still two scenes behind, so instead The Bolt Busted Loose from the Lever is three chapters long and will update every Tuesday for the next couple of weeks to provide a sense of rhythm! T rating, Ford Pines / Bill Cipher, unrequited Ford Pines / Fiddleford McGucket. This is a reeeal hurt-no-comfort situation here, people. Nothing but angst and misery. Happy Summerween!
Note: This site doesn’t like links, so links will be available in the notes/reblogs!
cant believe i missed summerween. well, either way, happy summerween a day late! hope your summerween is (was?) full of candy and not eldritch horrors. - ford
I love the costumes of the Pines. But, seeing it better, it worries me that Waddles could ruin the costume, when he needs to do... his... you know, go to the bathroom.
:) Let us assume either that Mabel has created a flap in the bottom or something like that; or, that Waddles is -- OF COURSE! -- the best, most house-trained pig ever, and he won’t feel the need to go in it for the few hours he is wearing it. ;-)
(I probably should have noted that Mabel put non-toxic make-up on his back legs so they would blend in with the tail.)
(This is in reference to my Summerween 2019 post.)
