michael distortion what a goofy guy
If you never hear from me again, I’ve fallen through a hole in reality and am now stuck in gay, spooky Windows 95
Horniness is not intrinsically less pure than any other human motivation
this will probably be disproven across episodes but I have the Gwen brainrot so indulge me.
I know a lot of people hope that Elias is out walking around happy and high, but see the Magnus institute burned down in 1999. Jonah took Elias in 1996.
So don't imagine Gwendolyn coming 'home' after a few years studying on daddy's money, daddy's name and daddy's contempt that his youngest daughter seems perfectly fine with ignoring what is expected from a Bouchard.
Don't imagine Gwen running into her brother one night after he himself hasn't been in their family house for weeks. And realising the thing in front of her isn't Elias.
The stone cold sober, easy smiling man with impeccable posture is not the man who taught her how to play their parents to secure a peaceful life and a place in the will at the same time.
The eyes looking back at her never winked at her from across the dinner table, never shed tears of rage at the golden chains around both of them, never looked at her at her lowest and told her everything would be okay one day. Because those eyes do not belong to Elias.
'A promotion' it tells her, with the same pride Elias used to talk about a student strike that would absolutely wreck their name if it were printed on papers, but this thing wouldn't do that because this thing is. Not. Her. Brother. But she's almost as good at acting as it is, so she plays along. 'Head of the Magnus Institute'.
And Gwen knows very little of the Magnus institute. But she knows enough about Elias Bouchard. She knows about Allan and the eyeless thing that got to him, tale whispered in a panic on the night she first saw her brother as a child instead of a role model. She knows about the letter that arrived unprompted. She knows the stories of what goes on inside the too old building.
And she knows how easy it is to get her hands on gasoline for the bits of it that aren't already flammable.
When she's called in as his emergency contact, she feigns shock at the fire, throws the bone that 'the idiot couldn't even keep his fucking lighter straight' between tears.
She throws the ashes off a foggy cliff onto the sea and attends the empty casket funeral with the same expression she learns to carry from that day on. And after years of clipped conversation, she does what she promised Elias to never do.
'Get me in.' She tells her father. And his smile of relief at 'still having a worthy heir' on the day of his son's funeral sickens her. But she keeps the same expression.
Because she may have killed the thing that took Elias. But the OIAR is the place that can tell her what she killed exactly.
And she won't make her brother's mistakes.
The most beautiful art of ALL TIME i love my dudes omg
HIHI!! i took part in a Tma gift exchange!!!
I was @n3ver--more Secret santa!!! And AHHH i had so much fun!! You gave me a few options to work with and I couldnt really decide so i went with two things!!
I started with ship art(JonElias) -
Although I don't ship this I'm not going to turn down drawing toxic Yaoi!
I would of draw Oliver banks too! but I'm slightly worried about spoilers and didn't want to risk it as I haven't properly met him yet! However I did draw the Michael's :D
Thank you @cherrysushi845 for hosting this!!! it was so much fun!!!
This is INCREDIBLE. WHAT.
THE CIPHER ARCHIVES!!! is this too niche
i feel like since the magnus archives and gravity falls both have a focus on monsters, uncovering mystery, the Eyepocalypse and deep interpersonal relationships, they would make a great crossover!
dipper is the archivist, attempting to organise the archives and investigate the mysterious "smirke's 13", catalogued by the tapes, journal and files left by the previous archivist, a man named stanford (i dont know how stanley plays into this crossover yet).
mabel is dipper's estranged twin, hired by Elias Bouchard (Bill Cipher) after she lied on her CV as an archival assistant, attempting to reconnect with her brother and pay the london rent. she takes on a role similar to martin (swapping out romantic love for familial obviously), and gets entangled in the lonely towards the end of the storyline.
Bill Cipher is the head of the Cipher Institute (taking on the role of Jonah Magnus), an immortal patron of the All-Seeing, All-Knowing Eye. He masquerades as a mortal by posessing the body of Elias Bouchard.
im yet to figure out which other characters from gravity falls are part of this AU, but i think soos will take tim's role and wendy will take sasha's. other characters like basira and melanie might stay the same. i thought robbie would make a good gerard, and instead of being immortalised in a creepy skin book, he lives on inside the cursed cd from that one episode
yeah i really love the idea this au and i hope that there is at least one other person out there that also appreciates this. gravity falls x the magnus archives goes hard
have some martin doodles while i fumble around with his design :>
stinky man
