I’ve been meaning to start doing a GF/Pokémon crossover for ages and now I’ve finally gotten around to it!!! I’m really happy with how they turned out ^^
I have the teams for Stan and Ford figured out too but idk how long they’ll take to draw up, it took me like a week just to get myself to draw these two TT^TT
Dipper attempting to ride Issac and Mabel riding Skunk. Which rider are you?
I once saw a little girl at a riding lesson with stickers all over her riding helmet and she was the inspiration for Mabel’s helmet. Just like Mabel wears a different sweater every day, Skunk will get a different saddlepad.
Mabel: Soooooo … word on the street is you saw him … ~in dis hab illy~? Was is it ~everything~ you’ve been imagining?
Dipper: Mmmmmabel! First of all, it’s pronounced “en déshabillé” because it’s [whatever the heck the equivalent of French is in the pokémon world] and you sound like an ignoramus! Second of all, where did you even hear that?! Only he and I know, and neither of us is gonna talk about it EVER in our lives! Third of all … SHUT UP!
ONE HELLUVA COMMISSION FOR @the-wizard-dipper! Yah’ll know that Masters Academy AU we keep batting back n forth? Well here’s a bunch more for it! >vO now including Spectra as the schools councillor
For this round of commissions I decided to do an exploration of what the school looks like, with the added bonus of our first good look at Danny and a few funny scenes.
I’m glad to see y’all understand that Dipper’s height functions according to a scientific theory known as the “One Punch Man Principle” (OPMP for short). For those unfamiliar with the OPMP, here’s how it works: How short will Dipper be? Short enough for the situation to be demeaning for him, and therefore funny (and also cute) for everybody else (especially the audience) … UNLESS a specific situation would be made more funny by him somehow being too tall for it.
I’m leaning towards something more along the timeline of post-Weirdmageddon, possibly before Sea Grunkles.
Perhaps Ma Pines has passed and Stan (Barley) and Ford (Ian) receive a box of her stuff. They find a book of psychology, but there’s a handwritten note in Ma’s handwriting about how to bring somebody’s mind back for a day; not a reanimation of their physical form, but their mind, memories, and thoughts that take the image of their body and also can affect the physical world (bc of convenience). There’s also a special crystal that enables the spell.
And they’re both excited, aren’t they? Ford hasn’t seen her in more than 30 years; he was horrible at keeping contact with his family once he left for college. Stan got to see her in his place once he fell through the portal, right? So why’s he acting so non-Stan and distant about it?
Maybe Ford’s so distracted by Stan’s weird behavior—because they promised to be honest—Ford accidentally—it can’t be a memory lapse, didn’t he remember their Ma—and oh no.
He dropped the stone in the middle of reading the words, and there’s a crack in it, but Ma’s there anyway and… where is her top half??
They can dissipate and bring her back as many times as they want within the 24 hours after that initial spell, but once the day passes, she’s gone forever.
Ma recognizes the touch of Ford’s six-fingered hand; she seems to recognize Stan is one of her sons, even if she can’t understand it’s Stan himself, alive and well, and not Shermie…
They won’t get better results without a new crystal, so they rush all the research they can, and just can’t find anything, so they turn to Fiddledore (manticore). And maybe he’s hesitant on helping them because of what happened the last time Ford tried some crazy experiment, but after a long talk, he does give in and reveals that he heard there’s said to be a mountain range across a nearby lake that carries the crystal…
Well, time to go sailing! The two brothers talk to the twins about what they’re doing before the set on their adventure to find a new crystal, placing them under Fiddleford’s care as it’s still summer.
And while hanging out with the twins Fiddleford remembers something he’d previously forgotten; there’s also said to be a dragon guarding the mountain range. That’s not good.
So we have their mom and manticore filled in by Fiddleford and the twins, racing to reach and warn Stan and Ford in time.
I haven’t totally figured out how the rising action would fit in this world, but maybe there’s the conflict between Stan and Ford in how Stan wants to do everything based on the exact wording of the spell (maybe it was vague or confusing in some parts—it says the mind is a maze, Sixer, there’s a maze of underground tunnels, I really think we should take that way) while Ford struggles not to let his logical ways take over (really, Stanley, it would be most efficient to graph a line from point A to point B to ensure the straightest and quickest path, no matter how many houses and canyons we have to walk through).
The moment in the movie that really spoke to me as Stan and Ford was the whole “I don’t think he’s a screw-up!” and the revealing spell magic.
Maybe they meet a creature that won’t let them pass unless they’re truthful, which is way too close to the whole truth teeth thing, and Stan’s not going through that twice, so Ford communicates with the creature, and maybe this creature wonders why he’s traveling with this man who seems so distant and unwilling to help and appears to have stolen his face, isnt he a burden?
Ford says that Stan’s never been a burden. And then it starts to attack and declares they can’t cross. Now they gotta run with Ma.
For Ian learning how to use magic translating to Ford, I imagine it might be similar to Stan trying to teach him how to fight. Maybe they have to use strength to tear out the crystals. Not with gadgets and fancy alien-killing techniques, Sixer, just throw a punch like we’re boxing again.
I don’t know. I just really want to write a fic of this AU one day.
Let me know if you have thoughts or additions on this!!!
no little nerd boy dont go into the mindscape and repeat the cycle of hubris that your great uncle started and as consequence doomed you and your family to be forever plagued by his mistake noooooo
I’m honestly kind of impressed you guys were able to figure out who’s who! Some of these were definitely easier to translate into human than others.
We’ve got Pyronica, Kryptos, Keyhole, 8 Ball, Xanathar, Amorphous Shape, Hectorgon, Teeth, and Pacifire. Not sure what their real names are, Bill doesn’t bother to learn and just gives them weird nicknames.
OmB, did I forget to wish you all the happy beginning of the summer!! Also, I suddenly remembered aside from the examinations start and the other uni stuff… that I made a self-insert for GF fandom and hardly did anything with her!
Welp, as an idea, it occured to me that this could be not just your standard self-insert that could happily hop into some kind of a fandom and come in and out of it whenever they please, but a self-insert that actually managed to be accidentally sucked into the show itself and unable to get out of it. Since it would ruin the plot of the show as the S-I (self-insert) understands, she hardly communicates with any protagonists, unless they are on their own in the woods or smth, and the townsfolk or anomalies from GF, either would do , and, frankly, is pretty free to do as she pleases, roaming around the town, befriending abnormal creatures, but unable to get back home, until the show’s very finale. Of course, as any 2020s GF fan, S-I knows the plot more or less, and in case anything terrible is promised to happen, she would try to warn the other characters to get a better plot twist for the show, but… C'mon, it’s Gravity Falls we’re talking about, so there’s still smth wrong to be going on, whether with S-I’s efforts or without xd
This is the longest animation in my life (my maximum was 15 seconds) and I am still working on it (half of the void in the video is what I have to do). The animation is based on the role-playing with my girlfriend and, by the way, she plans to clean up and line up this animation. I know it is twitchy, but I do it at 12fps, otherwise my phone will end.
“Wait, this is for my kids. They can’t be around during the Day of Unity. Get them in a castle bunker- get- get them on an airship. I don’t care. Just- just keep them safe.”
