"laziness is not a valid excuse for not making two whole RP posts in the course of thirty days."
me: *. . . SWEATS*but no. this month, this month i did indeed post twice. Dipper Pines maximum are both staying since why not. btw good job handling the staff work and taking a crisis in stride, guys. (also i am amused by the fact that my character/ooc avatar kind of looks like it is rocking out at a techno dance rave, so points for that as well.)

"nothing scarier" (you say that now eren, until BAM the ghost is half of ur dead mom—you know the one the titans picked out of their teeth! remember her? ey ey do ya *elbows him* )
But heeeeeey there, Jake ! Pleasure to meet you and your guy. Yes, I admit that this is sort of a weird combination only because Eren Jäger is very serious and Dipper is himself (whatever that means). I'll be frank, my kid will probably just be like, "Roll with the punches. They're all weird." I will make note of the fact that his ghost tour/walk is free because he's trying to get his gig off the ground. It's also insane levels of corny, at least when the stories are not sad and about dead people trapped eternally in their basement after a horrible fire. What I am thinking, if you are interested in sending Eren on a ghost walk, is that they do in fact encounter many ghosts—but all the supernatural stuff only happens to Dipper while Eren isn't looking, so we can play up the: "HEY MAN, HOW ARE YOU NOT SEEING THIS." "I've seen everything, more than you can imagine." "THAT ISN'T WHAT I MEANT. I MEANT THE CHAIR THAT KNOCKED ME OVER." "Aren't you just clumsy." "IT FLEW SIX FEET."
(. . . and yes, he is clumsy, but that's not Dipper's point.) When I write ghosts, I like to have one guy experience everything haunted and the other guy juuuust miss it, and I'll probably up the ridiculousness for kicks as the walk goes on. I think, as you've said, it could be hilarious to watch play out. And they can run around at night in haunted graveyards. I mean, that's exciting, right? Teenage kids being nuisances in graveyards is all part of the youth culture experience! If you've got any other ideas though, feel free to toss them at me.
Finally: Dipper would probably leave liking him because he loves this kind of thing and Eren seems relatively chill in the face of danger. which dipper is. not. Unfortunately Eren hails from a crapsack world so that's a bit of a downer, even if Dipper might try to be more friendly. On the other hand, he's more the ask-no-questions type so if Eren never talks about it, then the subject is unlikely to come up. Thus! They might be able to have something akin to a normal( ?) conversation at least—you know, Eren, that thing where two people exchange a series of words. We'll see how it goes from there, maybe? Does this all sound cool with you? Any additions?
P.S. I would, however, appreciate poking a bit of fun at the fact Eren picked a waiter job to reduce stress, because Dipper would deadpan, "Uh, buddy, there's this huge hole in your logic that—sorry about the bad news—you already fell into." So perhaps they can talk job!angst too. (That is the very definition of a stressful job!)

@astrum /@agnespollock : Yes, wall-climbing is a useful skill that I am imparting onto you. I'll take your effort as a compliment. As for discord, I am not on the group chat as of now, since I'm still getting used to a couple of things. If you're interested, send me a PM with your number and I'll add you!
And, moving along. For his sake. . .
. . . I hope she is never aware of it, but more power to her if she knows. He'd be super embarrassed that this happened to him twice. He's even trying to play if off so she doesn't know. In spite of the fact that his strategy is both Transparently Obvious and Not Very Good. Yeah, I'm not sure where he's going with that but, uh, he believes it is foolproof. Dipper will desperately continue to believe that until experience proves him wrong, in part because her knowing is perhaps too painful for him to think otherwise. (Like dear god please Agnes don't accidentally kill him. A newspaper tagline like "Unfortunate Young Man Dies of Shame" will surely not add to her reputation as a good role model. / and he tried so hard, and got so far. )
But no, as you've said, this is fun. I think it should be highly amusing to watch and he'll probably appreciate being treated like a nephew. He is hugely into the whole family dynamic thing and always appreciates found family, and I think this is especially true in a situation where he only has his twin sister to keep him company. Plus atm neither him nor her have any real connections outside of a handful, with the knowledge that her's seem very Depressing, so I think a bit of lighthearted fun would be good for the both of them. Perhaps his generally . . . different attitude can help her feel a bit more comfortable in her new situation. (And if she knows him maybe he can walk in on some Omega5 drama and be like, "—okay, uh, I deduced that this is a bad time to bring over a movie. Was it the explosions and that giant hole in the wall. Yeah, thaaaaat sounds about right, I can get how that'd be a mood killer. And yeesh. The insurance cost.")
Johnny : i laughed my ass off. is he actually serious? he does realize dipper is legit a joke right? (And that's not at all a bad thing, we each have our talents, but I do admit that I am a little surprised.)
I do think Dipper would valiantly resist being friends only to stumble into situations where they talk to each other anyway for quite some time, and he quickly tries to set it straight with: "Huh, usually when I tell people that I think it's totally possible for space headquarters to have faked the moon landing, they're—eh, y'know—more surprised. I guess that's pretty aweso—NO, WAIT, WHAT. SCREW YOU AND YOUR JEDI MIND TRICKS. I'M OUT OF HERE." He's probably unnerved by the fact he keeps trying to tell this guy off but just ends up getting roped into a conversation instead. Dipper would like to think of himself as being able to take control of a situation, but unfortunately no one takes him seriously enough. (And, for the record: in the universe Dipper came from, it is probably more likely than not that the moon landing isn't real.)
I'm not sure what exactly he'd be resisting, but he's stubborn about his judgmental opinions and would continue to insist that Johnny is bad news. For some reason. (It's probably his suspicious instinct acting up again, but then Johnny does sell drugs so maybe it should.) Even after Dipper's starting to sweat bullets because he's running out of meaningful excuses, and That's Not Good. But I guess if Johnny is persistent, it probably won't be hugely difficult a task to wear Dipper down. Just promise to take him out to eat somewhere. He'll go, because. He's hungry and "hey, why not if someone else is paying." Anyhow I think that's enough rambling. I could start off a thread for either one or both of these two if you like: what scenarios seem the most interesting for you? |

sana / LENA LEE & Dipper Pines : Naaaw, don't worry! My response didn't get a gold star for coherency either, haha. It's all good and I'm pretty happy that this dynamic works for you, too. As mentioned, I quite like her so I'm excited!
Anyway . . . tbh is anybody really like, "Wow, please tell me more about algebra! I've always been fascinated by the intricacies of the foil method." (the answer is: nope.) So I don't imagine her attitude is profoundly new or unexpected, and some part of what was intended here was sort of a gag. I feel Dipper started off like "so can i make money/earn credit/skip class if tutoring." And the school said, "sure whatever kid." Lena is allowed her disinterest as long as he leaves with something for his time.
. . . and honestly? In canon, everyone acts blasé about the whole nerd-math-know-it-all thing and she just seemed like the type, too. Please, feel sorry for him bc no one does! But hey, at least his approach is: "*shrug* It happens all the time." As for tutoring, I just figured it was an easy place to start off with, since we should confirm if they actually would hit it off. (She's also shy, so I was not entirely sure to what extent she could tolerate his weird antics right off the bat. :"D ) In that, we're on a similar wavelength 'cause I was imagining the same by about their third meeting!
If you want, maybe we can add some variety to our little library thread by having them interrupted by a weird incident mid-way—like this school teaches would-be multidimensional villains in addition to casual students, yes? So perhaps in the middle of their tutoring, a nameless teen!villain stages a coup to take power back from these puny, arrogant teachers. They say friends are forged in fire, right! But it really depends on if you want to go with purely slice-of-life or throw in a bit of wackiness on the side. Largely because Dipper is more comfortable in wackiness, so the whole situation would warm him up to her, and he'd leave saying Lee "was pretty cool with how she handled herself back there." This could be both funny and make it easier for me to get him to be less prickly.
Sound good for a first thread: relaxing tutoring and then some comedy on the side if things go well? I'd be down for a bit of both, personally. And if you want to start the thread, that'd be awesome, sana! ♡ Thanks for volunteering, the consideration is appreciated! |

That said, I would be happy with any additional characters from the Gravity Falls cast! Particularly Wendy might be fun. These three do happen to be the ones that I am most attached to, though. ❤ If you're curious about any of these roles, I ask that you please respond here and we can either discuss things directly in this wanted thread, over private message or perhaps talk it out on discord. Thank you for reading!

Shape-shifting or possession is fair game, as long as he looks like a triangle at least some of the time.

"we're looking for two old guys. [break][break]we're talking, y'know, practically fossils here."
[attr="class","asw2right2"] See, uh, I came here to write about tree kids from Gravity Falls. This is my application for Dipper Pines, and you can check out MABEL PINES for info on his lovely twin sister, too.[break][break] Current status update: I'd love to see their great-uncles because. Well. I'm predictable and I just. Love them a lot so. [break][break]Yeah. And anyhow, they are canonically pirates on the wide ol' blue now since the series ended and I chose to write the twins aged up by three years, so imagine all the wacky stories and antics the Grunkles can still get up to. As long as your interpretation as either Stanley or Stanford is relatively close to the canon in terms of personality, I am very open to whatever writing style, additional background or headcanons you come up with to make your representation work. While it would be adorable if they all lived together in Comet Block, it's not necessary. (Just, perhaps, unwise since who would let 16 years old run their own household.) [break][break]I will note that with regard to Stanford, I wrote him gifting Dipper the journals at fifteen in my application and would like this to remain since I think it's a heart-warming gesture. As a final note, in their history, the kids disappeared on a family trip with their great-uncles investigating a weirdness hotspot, and this leaves you wiggle room as to what their two Grunkles felt about the fact that they actively lost them. And, I guess, the pig too. [break][break] Plus my kid Dipper Pines is so sad as an orphan, don't you want cute stuck-in-another dimension bonding with a pair of funny orphans. I know that if you actually read this far, you at least thought about it. |

@astrum : "you say you wrote two sentences? naturally i can only respond with a huge wall! that would be the polite and the obvious thing to do!" (i feel a little bad bc you have no plotter though . . .) Ah, and as per usual: feel free to agree, disagree, or add to anything that I provide.
@agnespollock : stop she's pretty why would she talk to him she's ruining his life
but no, you're right, she is his romance section. she's like a badass girl and that's his thing even if he lives in denial.
Anyway! I'm happy that you posted here, astrum! I read Aggie's profile and genuinely think she's a great character, so the more the merrier. My kid probably might try to play it off like he doesn't care at all because All Men Believe That They Look Cool By Acting Standoffish When They Actually Don't, but I'd be happy to give him an endearing puppy crush if you are so inclined. Mostly because he's obvious. And ngl her faceclaim is A+ and you know. Uh, faces are an important criterion in my. Decision-making.
. . . although tbh she should leave my poor kid to wallow in shame by himself, apparently every girl he likes is 1000000x out of his league and this is just a reminder of that. As for the age thing—
—he has a selective memory and has never liked an older girl before. Who told you that. Did anybody tell you that? What's a girl?!
Which is to say: in canon, Dipper had a very passionate and perhaps now-even-more-moderately embarrassing crush on an older girl who was, in fact, like Agnes. If Freud is proven right and it manifests here, he'll be like, "PLEASE KILL ME. ANY TAKERS? ANYONE?" (This is the story of the boy who never learns.) Either-or, I think they could be funny too because he's super boring so Agnes should liven up his life by being ~*~awesome~*~ and ~*~more manly than he is~*~. And fighting demons in her spare time, he'll like that, Miss Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I kind of hope that they can have a thread where they can strategize on how to curb-stomp zombies while holed up in a shopping mall. I guess they can also commiserate over that whole a demon opened a hellhole in my basement experience, too, if this catches your interest. Dipper sort of awkwardly laughs his own mindscrew incident off though.
Johnny :
does he always introduce himself as "super awkward and also a drug dealer!"
is that his resume's skill box
should i dare ask what else is hidden up his ripped hoodie cali-boy sleeve
But being serious, I think Dipper would view him as sketchy because he's the kind of guy his sister ooohs and ahhhs over for in the movies, which by default makes him the most untrustworthy kind of guy. Stay outta his apartment, man, with your broody guitar playing and the fact you have no real job. It's his shoe box and okay, sure, why would anyone ever want to go in there, but you still aren't invited.
I also have a sneaking suspicion that Dipper tried to learn how to play the guitar but ended up completely tone deaf—which is obviously unrelated to his dislike. Jealousy is not the point, the point is that he doesn't like Johnny or his lousy face hanging around. I do get the feeling that they could maybe bond over where they came from, except Dipper is like that lame guy who goes to the beach back home and thinks, "Man. How did I get this skinny. I really let myself go." His love for California is ambivalent at best.
If you're interested they could eventually get on better, if still awkward terms since my immediate idea is dislike and potentially giving him the nickname "Johnny McBadass," but only if Dipper is allowed to be comically unaware of the fact that Johnny is a drug dealer. At the end of the day, he's pure-minded, so I imagine Johnny would just be like: ". . . listen kid, how in the hell are you even still alive. (Does he really not realize?)" It might be pretty funny if he decides to be a big bro and try to hide his Obvious Emotional Issues only to have Dipper almost walk in on them 200+ times. What is more delightful than a desperate attempt to pretend he is "Not Doing Anything At All Suspicious, Also Do You Know A Place Where I Can Hide a Totally Normal Cash Bag?" (I have never been tasked with a comedy drug plot. Mayhaps I can plan one out with enough thought.)
On a random note, I very much enjoyed reading Johnny's app and am also a fan of Green Day! I did not know anything at all about American Idiot except the song, so I actually left thinking I oughta listen to it. |

FIVE : Hi! Just so you know, I appreciate the courtesy of responding back in the other person's plotter so that everyone gets a post. If you could do the same and respond back in mine, I'd be grateful! Share the love. Anyway, onto business; feel free to agree, disagree or add to anything I provide. Thanks.
MABEL PINES & Dipper Pines : i am sorry that i am 100% lazy as all get the hell out and his app took forever but uh
This is the underlying plot here—I gave Dipper a bunch of mandatory debt payments that funnel into a regular cost of citizenship on the island. Mostly so that I could laugh at him. But he's nice so he has decided not to inform Mabel of his ever-increasing responsibilities, because she's more the fun one and he's the boring one. (And canon dictates that Dipper regularly prioritizes Mabel over himself, so it seemed to make sense that he would choose to let her enjoy life and go to school while he Endures Comedy-Fueled Misery. Someone needs to furnish their apartment, and her cool vblogging can't buy them necessary stuff like flashlights to keep his ghosts at bay.)
I think, if she should ever find out, it could be ~*~dramatic~*~ because ooh, her brother lied big time. We could have fun causing friction between them on occasion to add some variety, in addition to fluffy twin stuff. Secretly Dipper is sad about being stuck here, and he wouldn't tell a lot of people except Mabel which allows for some exploration there too. It also seems as if she would miss him in his absence, but Dipper is trying his darnedest to hide the consequences of his latest silly decision and sometimes sidesteps her for no discernible rhyme or reason. My guess is this uncharacteristic lack of brotherly enthusiasm would kill her groove. As an aside: I also suppose that I should have pointed out on discord that a lot of his jobs are Ghost Busters-esque because why not. Dipper spends a disproportionate amount of time running around in the dark trying to get ghosts to talk over his recorder, and indeed people do pay him to perform this.
. . . ser . . . vice.
In either case, it should be funny if she comes along because the problem with being a "paranormal investigator" is that sometimes he looks really, really dorky. Yelling at the ceiling or inanimate objects alone in the dark is not usually something people do.
But more in the immediate future: I told you earlier that I would like to write a birthday thread, if that's cool with you! Who doesn't love throwing cake at each other, probably. I'm sure he has paid good money to get that "Happy 65th Birthday Mabel" cake with the tagline "(sorry for crashing your first birthday 16 times)." I think it will be incredibly sweet, pun intended. If you're up to it, let's start there! I'd be happy to get the thread up since tbqh I feel like he is excited because their birthday reminds him of home, especially since he's been acting as if he is Too Cool to Remember That Stuff with his 17 hour work schedule and all. So it's kind of an attempt to surprise her.
. . . and again i apologize that i am secretly the slowest slow-bro to have ever crawled out of the ocean ||||orz |

LENA LEE & Dipper Pines : i like this cat, i like this cat's name and i think these two could be absolutely supurrb.
But no, seriously. My first gut instinct is that he would think she's completely high energy, since everything about her screams nerd-cat otaku with no social graces at all. While Dipper is is no position to judge (since honestly HE is an obsessive nerd who also can't make friends? and can be really anxious?), he's going to anyway for the hell of it. Coupled with the fact that he's baffled by actually having a conversation with a cat-person. Because, as I am sure he said to her, "Now it's only a matter of time before puny, easily-amused humans must submit to their cat masters. Cats have it too easy. I don't trust 'em." I could see Lena, perhaps, thinking he is The Anti-Cat at first and wondering rightfully to herself "what kinda sourpuss hates cats!" (. . . Him. I don't see Dipper as an animal person. Also I realize that she is a shapeshifter, which offers its own plots in addition to cat jokes.)
The fortunate part is that I feel they'd actually like each other if they talked. Since they both go to school, it's easy to just stick them together in some class project and say that Dipper Learned Not to Be Anti-Cat Anymore. He could even stumble on her as a cat trying to ditch school. Either way, I don't think he'd care a lot about her quirky hobbies because in-canon he knows people who are already into that, so he'd probably watch shows with her and they could be hugely lazy in the hours when he is not at work. I was going to suggest math tutoring as a way for them to meet, since her profile says she hates math and he's got a talent in that one school subject no one likes and/or cares about. After a few meetings, I figure they'd warm up to each other and he'd probably treat her more like how he acts with his sister.
Which is to say, all his comments will become cheesy and affectionate teasing: "If you're a cat, so—I'm just wondering—does the island living get to you, or—" and "Look, Lee, your worst nightmare: a puddle of water." As a matter of fact, I will probably go out of my way to make as many IC catgirl jokes as humanly possible, because I'm sure a yelled, out-of-context "I'm looking for a catgirl!" will result in many NPC bystanders answering "um, listen young man, we don't handle that kind of business here."
Their dynamic could be amusing to watch because she comes across as quirky and he's an expert in minding quirky girls thanks to the excitable nature of his equally as weird sister. And I could make an incredible amount of catastrophic cat puns ICly much to Lena Lee's chargin. I feel like he's just devious enough to catch her with a cat pun whenever the oppurrtunity arrives. Whatever the case, it could be a win-win situation even if sometimes I'm sure that Lena is like "say one more cat joke and you are a dead man." ("Pff, hey, easy on the claws! I'm not kitten around here—" go ahead and push him into the ocean, Lena. One more joke was worth it. Dipper would risk death for a punchline.)
. . . I hope this is okay with you, because I really like Lena a lot. ;^;

Pharaoh Leap : Hi! Just so you know, I appreciate the courtesy of responding back in the other person's plotter so that everyone gets a post. If you could do the same and respond back in mine, I'd be grateful! Share the love. Anyway, onto business; feel free to agree, disagree or add to anything I provide. Thanks. (Also your plotter looks cool. / thumb's up.)Reigen Arataka : ok this is my idea are you readydipper: *KICKS IN DOOR CARRYING A MOUNTAIN OF PAPER WITH GHOST THEORIES WRITTEN ON THEM* "EXCUSE ME BUT I SAW YOUR ADVERTISEMENT ON A REALLY SHADY BATHROOM WALL AND OH MAN YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO LIVE NEAR A GHOST HUNTER—hey, is anybody home? Yoohoo?"I imagine Reigen is under his desk with his coffee thinking "SHIT IT'S THE FEDS. oh wait, false alarm. also that was my door."
. . . Or? I think that my ghost nerd kid would really want to work for your conman psychic. All things considered, I actually imagine that Dipper would like him a lot, since tbh he comes from a family of crooks and liars anyway, all of whom have hidden hearts of gold. Reigen's personality jives with his existing canon and I'm sure it wouldn't take too much convincing for him to honestly be like "hey i think reigen is cool? what's so bad about him?" It might also give Reigen some way to handle his uptick of cases that involve actual ghost hunting, because Dipper actually can exorcise ghosts. (Well. Sort of.) Hey, either way his work involves less blatant lying and potential for clients to sue, so that's one for Reigen, zero for the courts!See, before I had to erase all his jobs because they wouldn't fit into the tiny application job field, I had Dipper working as a freelance paranormal investigator. As far as I am concerned, this is still canonical to my interpretation of him. I think at first Reigen would be like "UH HEY LISTEN OVER-EXCITABLE KID THAT WAS MY DOOR" until he discovers that Dipper has technically been operating as competition for his business, which Dipper discloses as part of his work experience. He'd probably be too giddy to potentially work as a real live ghost hunter to even bother listening to Reigen in any great detail, so what might originally be irritation won't phase Dipper one iota. Reigen seems like a (dis)reputable businessman, so I'm sure his immediate thought is: "I can sell this. And also eat the competition. Two birds with one stone." I feel like Dipper would be perfectly happy to be his crazy occult-conspiracy-theorist-ghostology geek, in addition to handling DIY construction like fixing Reigen's now probably less impressive door. He'd make a great employee()! Plus, imagine the comedy: "I removed all traces of the ghost's energy completely from the image." ". . . uh. Did—did you just photoshop that—" "—Yes, erased completely from the image." No matter what, I am guessing this plot could be super entertaining if you're up for it. |

[attr="class","rcgendirectright"]ABOUT ME
[attr="class","rcgendirectright2"] Hi, my friends call me Max and the pleasure is mine. *sparklies* I am a 25 year old wandering the desolate job boards of Linkedin and living out of my mom's basement. *sparklies drop like dead flies* what [break][break] :"D I'm not too into anything that isn't old as dirt™ like Detective Conan, Big Wind-up, Eva, Escaflowne or the 2003 FMA. I do not know what is "hip" for "the kids" these days; that's the life of a relic, of an antique you could sell for (generously) $10 at a pawn shop. I am a big fan of Arrested Development, Sherlock and, uh, the cooking channel. (The only tv drama I follow is that of a chef who forgot to plate or use an ingredient on Chopped. You have never seen such riveting tragedy.) I am an old person who only watches cartoons. I could actually go on and on and on about the music I like. But I shouldn't. I play games, specifically Persona/SMT, Professor Layton, Tales of Symphonia, Life is Strange, Odin Sphere and then old-school classics. And horror, I love horror a lot! ♡ Once a long time ago, I used to know how to read a book. I'm not sure what happened to that skill. And? I adore statistics, code and computers. Anyway, long story short, everything I like is either the logical equivalent of an old person, edgy or s oooort of obscure. [break][break] I play a kid from a zany Disney comedy gag show. With regards to canons, I am unfortunately a one trick pony and the laziest lazy to grace planet lazy. So. You know. If I play someone else, I probably lost a bet somewhere. Contrary to my mysterious( ) aura( ??), I like talking to people—especially about writing—so drop me a line if it ever strikes your fancy.

?) conversation at least—you know, Eren, that thing where two people exchange a series of words. We'll see how it goes from there, maybe? Does this all sound cool with you? Any additions?
