Penny, How Much Do You Know About Your Dad’s Family? Does He Talk About Them Often?

how does Stan feel, knowing he tore Ford away from a husband and child? How does Stan feel that his brother got MARRIED?

I'm still trying to figure out when and how Ford exactly tells Stan about everything, but I do know that Stan would feel immensely guilty about it. However, he's not outwardly going to show that. Instead, he'd deflect and say that there was no way he could've known that. Basically, he'd act very dismissive and deflective about it just to hide the guilt he would feel over it. Stan would also feel curious about the family that Ford had made for himself, as well as slightly sad that there was never a chance for him to meet them, but those feelings would be pushed even further down than the guilt.

The last thing Stan had ever expected was for Ford to get married, to anyone. Especially not when he was in the portal. He'd be very shocked over the marriage, but once again, Stan deflects. He'd make a ton of jokes over the fact that Ford was married to a fish alien. Trust that anytime fish is brought up in any capacity, Stan will be making a joke at Ford's expense.

Moral of the story, Stan can (and will) deflect any serious feelings that he has around Ford's alien fish family.

I've changed my avatar to Doodle Penni because I think she's adorable. Everyone who knows of my account previously, do not be surprised by the change. It's been coming for a long time. I really needed to be done with the base avatar.

Is it just me, or do other people absolutely love au crossovers? Like, please, I need some good au crossovers.

This is also permission for anyone to make any crossovers content with their au and my au if they're so inclined. I would literally melt into a puddle of joy if that happened.

I decides to draw Penni's picture. Can't draw hands though so it's just her fingers on the picture.

I had fun drawing childishly. I'm imagining she's like 6 in this scene.

Once again, I wish I could draw because I want to make a comic for my Washed Away au that goes like this;

Ford is just doing science stuff in his study or whatever when Penni bounds in excitedly. She's holding a piece of paper, and she asks him if she can show him her drawing of her imaginary friend. He'd smile and nod, only to promptly panic upon seeing the paper.

Because his young daughter, barely more than a toddler, is showing him a drawing of Bill Cipher.

Nimirylov did Ford ever tell you about his brother?

Ford has told me a lot of things in the past. To imply that I wouldn't have found out about his family despite the fact that we have been in a relationship for over two decades is almost insulting. He has told me a multitude of things about both of his brothers, alongside information about his parents.

I know better than anyone how much my husband can conceal information, but do you really think that is something I never would've found out about? I correct my previous statement, it is insulting, to both him and I. Truly, I hope I am not to answer any other questions of this standard.

Sincerely,

Prince Nimirylov.

Finally time for my mythological knowledge to come in handy.

The Echidna being referred to here, is the mother of monsters from Greek Mythology not the anteater. She's not the mother of all monsters but enough of them to earn the title mother of monsters.

you're now this mythical creature, congrats!

WHAT THE FUCK DID PENNI DO???

Help. I was trying to do incorrect quotes for Mabel, Dipper, and Penni, but Penni just keeps getting called some variant of a hoe. Why does the generator (and Mabel and Dipper in the generator) think that about her? What is this telling me?!

I quickly went through all of your posts to get an idea of the AU and I have to say, I find it very interesting (/positive)! It's original and stands out from all of the other AU's. With that said, onto the questions! 🥳

1. How did you come up with the AU? (I enjoy hearing people's though processes, especially when the idea in particular is unique and unlike any I've heard before. I'm the kind of person who loves watching behind-the-scenes content for media.)

2. What specific species of fish are the fish aliens?

3. Sorta related to the previous question, but is Ford's husband that one siren he wrote about dating in one of the journals or no?

4. How did Ford meet the prince and how did they end up in a relationship?

Thank you so much! Hearing/reading (same difference) positive stuff like that affects me way more than I always remember it doing.

1. I can't remember when I came up with the au (because I always think putting things into a timeline makes it more understandable), but I do remember just thinking that Ford being focused on revenge against Bill for 30 years in the portal is just a little bit boring. I've said that before, but it genuinely was just that thought that spiralled out into me creating this au. I wanted to create something more interesting than revenge, and I wanted something with a lot of angst potential. The clear answer to that is love. I wanted to make an au where Ford had love in the portal, that was pretty much just how it started.

2. Hahaha, this is where I reveal that I've tricked everyone. I say fish aliens because that rolls of the tongue easier, and it sounds funny, in my opinion. However, design wise, they're more based on axolotls. Currently, the sole reason for that is just because axolotls are my second favourite animal, and I think they're cute. However, I will probably come up with some lore thing that relates to it better. As for how they act, I'm just making shit up as I go along. Just picture me waving my hands and going "ooh~ alien~" every time I make up more lore.

3. I am so glad you asked that question! Simple answer, no. Complicated answer, in a way. Basically; when coming up with Nimirylov, I thought, "Base this guy off Ford's canon "love interests"." So to me, that meant, take the good traits from Fiddleford, Bill and the Siren. I assumed that Gravity Falls meant sirens as in the pop culture version of them (evil mermaids) rather than actual Greek mythology (angry bird ladies) + I didn't want to make a bird. So, that's how I came up with Ford having a smart, charismatic, alien fish husband.

4. How Ford met Nimirylov is also something I need to figure out the exact details on. Either Ford accidentally stumbled upon him, and Nimirylov was determined to get a human boyfriend, or Nimirylov found and helped Ford when he first arrived in that specific dimension. I haven't quite decided yet. As for how they got together, I'm assuming you mean how the relationship started in the first place. That was 100% Nimirylov, he did all the romantic work. I'm also going to say that the way they stayed together was through a lot of work. Ford has tried to make a runner from him, and that dimension at least 4 times. Each time, Nimirylov had to calm and talk him down.

The first time he tried to run away was before they got together, when they had started becoming friends, though. The closeness scared Ford. The second time was after the one and only time Bill appeared in Ford's dreams in that dimension, which was probably a year or two into Ford and Nimirylov's relationship. The third time was right after Nimirylov proposed to Ford. He has some sort of fear of commitment, what can I tell you? The final time was after that scene I talked about in a previous post, where Penni draws the picture of Bill and calls him her imaginary friend. This was by far the worst time that Ford tried to run away because he tried to bring Penni with him.

I kind of went on an unrelated tangent at the end, but I do that. Honestly, though, I loved these questions because I got to talk about a lot of behind the scenes stuff that I'm really passionate about but probably wouldn't have talked about otherwise. So, thanks again.

I like thinking about what Ford taught Penni about human culture because it's such a mixed bag.

Like, yes, obviously, he taught her about the holocaust. He was raised Jewish and that's an important part of history that his child should know. No, he did not tell her what rain is.

Yes, he told her about how humans drink water because they don't live in it and can't absorb water through gills like she does. No, he did not tell her what middle names are.

This is pretty similar to what the Nazis did. This is Nazi behaviour, no other way around it. I've never been more glad to not live in America.

If any person in this country does not have due process, then no one has due process. You’re a citizen? Oh yeah? Prove it.
