Writer: “BUT I WANNA LIVE!!”

So peak

Motel bound

A Gravity Falls x Bobs Burgers crossover au idea.

The Belchers are on a road trip and currently driving through Oregon. The trip has been okay so far, Tina hasn't puked more than once and to Louise's delight they've stopped at some of the locations she's recommended.

Gene enjoys changing the songs on the radio and Linda mostly sleeps. Bob however can't relax. He's too worried that something is going to go wrong.

Linda tells him to not think about it, that everything has been going smoothly and theres nothing to worry about. However as they pass the big "Welcome to Gravity Falls" sign, Bob feels uneasy. The woods surround the car and the wind whistles through the trees.

Bob thinks he can hear whispering out the open window but tries to ignore it. As he drives deeper into the town he can hear the car start to sound weird. It's making a dragging sound and he can feel the pang of anxiety in his stomach.

Before he can reach over to wake Linda the car jerks forward. As she jolts awake Bob pulls over to inspect the damage. He mumbles about how he was right, how he knew their luck wouldn't last for long and how now they were stuck in a small, creepy, town.

Linda calls a tow truck as Bob tries to not get into his head and think about how the rest of the trip would be terrible after this. Linda reassures him after her phone call and at the shop they search for motels to stay in.

Bob lands on a cheap, old, motel a mile down the road from them. Linda is hesitant to agree, as the place gives her the creeps. Bob mentally agrees with her but argues that there’s no where else to stay.

With a heavy sigh and a long moment of silence, Linda gives in and calls a car. As they drive to the motel Linda can feel a sense of unease settle in her.

The kids were too exhausted to notice, Louise was curled up next to Bob, Gene laid with his head on his mothers shoulder and Tina laid like a ragdoll in the middle, dead asleep.

And as the driver pulled in Linda considered telling Bob to re-consider. To maybe search for a different place. However she knows how exhausted her family is and how much Bob needs rest.

She swallows hard as she wakes the kids and climbs out of the car. Normally she would go inside to check in while Bob grabs their stuff.

Now however, she waits, one arm wrapped around Louise‘s small body to keep her warm, feeling the light weight of the little girl leaning into her and the other arm around Gene, playing with his hair and keeping him close to her.

Tina leans back into her mother with her hands in her pockets as Linda blocks her from the wind. As Bob finishes unloading their luggage Linda herds the kids to the doors.

She lets Bob in first and follows him in, slipping her hand into Louise’s. The motel looks even older on the inside and Linda starts to wish she had asked Bob to change his mind on the place.

Hauling the luggage up the stairs was the nail in the coffin for Bob. Driving had tired him out enough, but worrying about the car and their trip and then having to carry their luggage to their room made him feel dead.

The kids didn’t bother changing, they tore off their coats and climbed into bed, piling over each other and it wasn’t long before Bob and Linda could hear their soft snores and see Tina’s twitching under the blankets.

Linda would’ve loved nothing more than to crawl into bed at that moment but sleeping in her clothes made her cringe. So as she changed in the bathroom Bob flipped through the channels on the tv, ultimately landing on an old black and white movie.

Linda joined him in bed when she was finished, noticing he had quickly and lazily threw on his own pajamas. His shirt was inside out and part of it was stuck in the waist band of his sweats.

Bob knew but didn’t care. And while still very creeped out by the town and the motel he knew rationally that there was nothing scary about it.

He needed to let it go, and he figured sleeping would help him shake off the feeling.

However in Gravity Falls, the things that go bump in the night aren’t just the house settling, or your pets running around after bed time, or your roommate up making a late dinner.

The things that go bump in the night are real.

They aren’t even just passed on beings who like to fool with the living, or are angry you‘re in their space.

They‘re so much worse.

And Bob soon wished he listened to his gut before passing the big wooden sign that read:

Gravity Falls, Oregon.

Ok so definitely this type of thing regarding the show has been talked about before I don’t doubt BUT I still wanna put in my two cents regarding it so let’s get this going.

So Bob’s Burgers. Great show, adult cartoons done right (once they got their footing since I believe their early seasons felt more Family Guy/Simpsons which considering it was coming out a little late to the game so I assume it believed it needed to be like them but thankfully they’ve grown more confident not saying early seasons are bad their still hilarious ANYWAY OFF TRACK-)

And I really love their character cast. Bob, Linda, Teddy, and of course the Belcher kids (Gene is my favorite but not the topic of discussion).

The two I wanted to point out were Tina and Louise and an interesting thing I noticed regarding the two.

Not so much their relationship (though that itself is would be fun to dissect) but the way they seem to be on complete opposite sides of femininity.

Now to be clear I don’t think anyone, fictional or real, should need to abide by gender norms, but with how engrained it is societally, it’s hard to ignore, especially in television.

Regarding the two girls, Tina seems to be what I think most people would assume a thirteen year old girl would be into at that age. Horses, boys, writing, boys, girlscouts, did I mention boys? (though I feel her level for boys kinda goes a step further which we will get into).

I’m no historical expert in regards to feminine normalities, being a male myself, but I wouldn’t be pressed to see advertising primarily push horses, dolls, and boy crushing onto girls at a young age, which Tina seems to enjoy, and that itself is fine of course, no harm done.

Now all of that?

Throw it out the window for Louise because this girl is here to bring gender norms to the back ally and murder it with a bat.

Louise LOVES fire, knives, basically anything remotely adventurous, risky, or dangerous. Literally she wanted to go out in a hurricane storm in hopes to have some fun (and did! But it was boring so they went home). When she got a crush on a Boy band member? She went through a ton of effort to meet them, all to just fucking bitch slap the guy.

She also knows how to lock pick and is a creature of chaos.

She technically does have dolls, but all of them are alien like creatures and her favorite, Kuchi Kopi, is a Japanese figure (which would be less weird if it weren’t for her being in America).

All of these things, plus more, make her very not feminine and I love her for it. Literally her gender in this case doesn’t define her, it’s her personality.

This isn’t to say she can’t or doesn’t like predominantly female things, but the ratio def leans toward more neutral or masculine things throughout the shows time on air.

And it stands out even more when we have Tina, who immerses herself in it, to compare to Louise, who barely even interacts with it.

The reason I enjoy this is because it’s such a simple way to easily ignore gender norms by having two characters, siblings mind you, be on completely different sides of the idea (And Gene is just Gene, he is his own norm).

I’d pull out episode specific examples but what I’m doing right now doesn’t allow me that kind of time but I assure you dear reader that if you just read this cause you were bored and don’t know a lick of this show that just watching a Louise-centric and then Tina-centric episode you will see my point (hell even when they aren’t the focus you could probably see it).

Also even though Tina does fit into the more feminine side she isn’t completely locked to it either. Her love for boys would be seen as kinda obsessive (which let’s be honest if gender swapped would not be nearly as loved from the internet), and she’s willing to help her siblings in their own things of interest (though not without giving her own concerns).

Anyway please watch Bob’s Burgers it’s a great series ok BYEEEE

DELTARUNE 3 + 4 CONTENT IN NINTENDO SWITCH 2 TRAILER AHHH

Art made by Neytirix on Twitter/X

WARNING: INCOMING ART GUSH

(And dissection of U.A’s esteemed principal, Nedzu)

Alright so time to outwardly gush about this art piece.

So, note, Nedzu's my favorite character in recent. Despite their not being a lot to him, what there is really fascinates me, mostly from how despite the knowledge we have him being limited, it's enough to build character potential over it. The most striking thing we know (and supposedly, no one else knowing) is him being experimented on to some degree, enough for him to have a deep resentment for humanity because of those experiments.

Now because he's so open as a character, it results in a lot of interpretations for how he acts. Some people write him to be a bit of an asshole at points due to this deep seeded hate, whilst others just effectivelly make him goddamn insane (but in a good way). The same can obviously be said for his backstory too, though not a lot of people tackle this aspect regarding this character, and frankly, why would they?

Not because it wouldn't be a interesting thing to look into, but because it's effectively just becomes complete and utter headcannon once doing so (Also, probably from it not really having a great moment within canon to appear unless its a Nedzu-focused fic). ANYWAY to get back onto my railroad tracks-

This piece is amazing. The lighting of a deep fog in the back not only puts the focus on Nedzu and the rodents, but enseams a sense of unclarity both for the viewer and potentially, Nedzu. Ya see, I've always been fascinated by his first ever line in the series being him making a joke at his own expense; Primary on his appearence being unclear as to what kind of animal he actually is.

Now call me a deep diver, but I feel like this line is a lot more personal on Nedzu's end then he leads on. Personally (Headcannon moment), I do belive Nedzu does know what species he is now, but for a long time did, in fact, not.

Nedzu, for a while, didn't even care for what species he was, because his primary goal was to be human. Not literally of course, but on the level of respect. Nedzu's quirk doesn't just give him intelligence, but specifically sapience. And a level that I imagine can go far beyond a human at times.

And this piece also really plays into that. In a room full of animals who just live to survive, Nedzu can live for far more that. Mice, rats, and all of those rodents in between all live to simply eat, sleep, reproduce, and repeat. Nedzu, though, doesn't have to limit himself there. Nedzu, for all he's capable of, can see himself above his species, and maybe even equal to those with his level of intelligence. The problem was...

...people didn't see him that way. Especially not those who experimented on him for god knows what. He was just seen as a smarter mammal, not an equal. So instead of wanting to be seen as an animal, he pushed himself to be human. His first line completely throws away the idea that he focuses on who he truly is, and instead his postion. He moved himself up on the social ladder to effectivelly enforce a sense of humanity into himself because otherwise, he was nothing more than just a rat. Or a bear. Or a dog.

Do I think Nedzu enjoys having to do this? Maybe not. He isn't happy in the piece per se, but I don't think he necessarily regrets it. On some level though, I imagine he does wish he didn't have the Quirk he did. Just a day to be true to himself, rather than to be true to humanity. But, for whatever reason, he did. So he isn't just gonna drop dead. He will use what he's been given and make the most of it. Even if it means losing that piece.

Ok I'm done now :).

Re-drew these three! Really proud of neil.

Ican'tshow

So I usually make content using pre-existing media, but I've always wanted to do something original. Wholly my own. So here's that.

World basis:

Early in the 1980’s people were being born with completely different structural heads than normal. Late into it was it found to be a sudden neurological connection to the 4th dimension, causing a literal and physical mental imbalance.

Those affected believed it should be removed, so they were meant to be Nullified, but instead this stuck as the term for those born with it.

Once the panic had calmed down, society began to pick itself back up by the late 1990’s.

The mass of the older generation, who have not gotten this neurological change, have indifference or even hatred to those Nullified.

Nullified:

Those who had this neurological connection resulted in their head, or body, having completely different properties to that of someone without it.

Because the connection is based in time, every person with it doesn’t have the same look or effect. No two people will ever have exactly tge same results.

Despite how they look, Nullfied can still function like a normal human, not withstanding any mental or physical disabilities formed from birth (which were wrongly accused to be more common in Nullfied as a way to see them lesser. There is no factual evidence that being Null is naturally flawed).

Some who become Null may even have the ability to do things once seen as impossible, akin to comic book superhero’s.

Since the variety would make it impossible to narrow down powers that are or aren’t harmful, Null who can do this are under government watchlists (unbeknownst to the Nullfied).

Otherwise, court of law judges Null’s powers in their own sanctum, so mental or physical assault with these abilities are classified as such.

======================== So what does this mean?

Think My Hero quirks but it's casual instead of Hero Vs Villian shit.

Shayy

+ Meta-Morphing shape for a head

+ Emotions are very much on his sleeve

+ jack of all arts, master of none

+ Hard time with friends

+ ADHD like mad

Louisiana

+ Whole eye for a head

+ Doesn’t really have an idea for what she wanna do for a life

+ Knows most of the other nulls in the small town, but most prominently…

Crane

+ An asshole

+ Whole body minus the center is skeleton

+ Feels like his life is already done

+ Gas Station worker

+ Smokes a lot; doesn’t feel it cause it can’t reach his lungs

Also a lot more I'm concocting.

This thing will either be a comic, written book, or, what i'd most prefer...

A visual novel! Thanks for reading if you have :) I'm not sure if this will go anywhere but I still wanna put it out there for me myself and I

Also the “part 1” is for chapters I belive connect together to form one big chapter just spilt for convince sake cause I like long chapters as much as the next guy/gal but it can be a pain if your only half-way through like a 50k chapter, ya know?

No judgement to those to do of course!

Not o.o.c, but I felt sharing a title could be fun, so here’s one of them! Won’t say we’re it is in the fic ;)

If you haven’t (or have) noticed the past few posts, Nedzu has a prominent focus within the fic so yeah he’s fairly involved in this, at least for a chunk of it.

Not an April fools!

How to: write pain

Don't make paragraphs about it - battles are supposed to be fast-paced

Describe:

- the object used to harm the character

-where the injury is

-how long the character had had the injury

-how deep the cut is (for blades)

-whether or not the wound triggers other things (dizziness, bleeding)

There are different kinds of pain

punch/blunt force trauma:

-how it feels: aching, a single spike of pain before it fades into an ache, throbbing, numbness

-effects: swelling, bruising, broken bones, unconsciousness, dizziness, concussion, internal bleeding.

stab wound/cut

-how it feels: stinging (shallow wounds), burning

-effects: bleeding (the blood from arteries is a brighter red, like vermilion, the blood from veins is dark crimson), dizziness from the blood loss, unconsciousness, infection (if left unattended), death

gunshot

-how it feels: depends on the caliber bullet, from how far away they were shot and in what place

-effects: same as stab wounds

Things that an injured character may have/do

-heavy, harsh, ragged breathing

-panting, gasping, crying, grunting, hissing, groaning, whimpering, screaming, shrieking, clenching their teeth

-ears ringing, unable to speak

-pressing their hands on the injury to try and stop the bleeding, trembling, eyes rolling up into their head

-vision blurring, room spinning

Where to hit in a fight

temple and jaw - good for a knockout punch, but are near the skull so it will be dangerous if you miss (it can broke/dislocate your fingers)

nose/eyes - messes up the senses and distracts the opponent

neck: can mess up breathing, talking and the spinal cord

inner elbow: can disable the opponent's arm

solar plexus: hard to hit but very effective

liver: causes immediate pain, dizziness and loss of breath

kidneys

groin

outer/inner thighs

knees

-----------------

But not getting into a fight stops the injury for both the opponents :)

Bookbinding Fanfiction

So apparently Barns and Nobles just…let you print out your own books for little cost? I had always wondered of those who make their fanfiction into physical things to read rather than through a screen, but I didn't think it would be this easy.

The idea of printing my own fic into a physical book just sounds nice for some reason.

Actually, printing anyone's fic into a physical book to re-read just sounds awesome. As long as you aren't planning to sell it, it's a nice way of solidifying it, making it easy to re-read, and being easier on the eyes!

That said, asking the author would be a nice gesture at the minimum, since sure they can't do much to stop you (especially if it's with copyrighted material), but I suppose it would be a dick move.

Like, seriously go look for yourself it's like less then $10 for 200 pages or less it's amazing.

I don’t have an EXACT date for its release sadly but I’d say my hope is before the end of June, and by then, il have 8 or so chapters loaded and ready to fire!

Out of context moment for a part I've been really excited to write down! You'll get to find out what its for when Delta Academia comes to AO3 at some point (which I don't know when)!
