Mystery Nerds AU Masterpost

So it recently came to my attention that most people don’t know about the series that got me most of my followers - the Mystery Nerds AU, a Gravity Falls AU where Ford and Stan reconcile thirty years earlier than they do in canon and actually kinda sorta communicate and have lots of feelings filled moments. So, because I just added a new installment to it and I crave validation like some people crave food, I decided to make a post with links to all the fics on AO3.

All tags can be found here.

Life Support: “It’s 1982, and Ford Pines has called his brother to Oregon, in desperate need of his help. Fate keeps Ford in this reality, and forces him to confront some very uncomfortable truths about his relationship with his twin.” The one that started ‘em all, babey, and arguably the most popular. Posted in 2015. Also got me called problematic by what was probably a bored, angry child for bringing up the AIDS crisis of the 1980s.

Strays: “Stan, in all good conscience, can’t leave a stray. He knows that feeling all too well.” The third fic I wrote, but the second in the series, as an apology for the angst-fests I’d written before it.

It’s Been a Long, Long Time: “Filbrick Pines is not made of stone. Even he has things that scare him. Linger with him. Haunt him.” The one in which I give Filbrick some pathos, and make a lot of people scream at me (affectionately) for it.

And Here’s To You: “It seems that, even when the Pines brothers make some progress, they always hit another snag. This was all because of that damn pill bottle.” An examination of Stan’s “loony days” mentioned in the Guide to Mystery and Nonstop Fun.

Seared With Scars: “Ford can’t seem to catch a break when it comes to reminders of those he’s hurt. He tries to make amends in the only way he knows how, but soon gets himself, Stan, and Helen swept up in the dark secrets of Gravity Falls.” My personal favorite installment in the series, and the first appearance of everyone’s favorite traumatized hillbilly. This one took me the longest (started in 2016, not finished till 2019).

Two Way Street: “You know what they say about communication. Or, Four times Filbrick Pines’ sons reached out to him, and one time he reached out first.” Another Filbrick-centric one, and another favorite because I just have a soft spot for humanizing this stupid old man, alright?

Ad Astra Per Aspera: “The Society of the Blind Eye is gone, and the only thing left for the gang to do is recuperate. And maybe deal with those pesky emotional issues waiting in the wings.” The most recent installment, which is basically the culmination of me shoving Fiddauthor content directly into my eye sockets for a month.

Being nice to someone you don’t like is not manipulation btw it’s being civil

asshiieee

Mmm no, this is like seeking validation. Ofc it’s best to be nice but if I don’t like you or we both dislike eachother, then there’s no reason for us to communicate or be around eachother. It’s not about being immature, I would much rather not put myself in such a situation.

look. it is true that things associated with femininity and womanhood have been socially positioned as "less than" things associated with masculinity and manhood. but it is also possible to talk about this without concluding any of the following:

  • this is biological (it's not!)
  • femininity is actually superior to masculinity (why does anything have to be better than anything else?)
  • appealing to gender socialisation theory (please read some transfeminism. please.)
  • women are therefore rewarded for proximity to manliness, or can always get ahead by taking on manhood (talk to one butch. or woman of colour. or trans woman. or any number of other socially masculinised women in your life I beg of you)
  • every single instance of someone criticising something targeted at women is inherently due to misogyny (taylor's private jet isn't gonna fuck you)

it is in fact possible to talk about misogyny without reinforcing ideas rooted in oppositional sexism and without talking about femininity as if it's an inherently magical mystical thing that is held in the beautiful womb or whatever

happy autism awareness day to all the girls who had “ friends” growing up who were actually bullying them . to the girls who always sat alone in the grass and wondered why nobody wanted to talk . to the girls who spoke to animals like they were listening . to the girls who created a little world in their room . to the girls who always felt ashamed for how deeply they love things and how passionately they enjoyed media . to the girls who covered their ears when they were overwhelmed by everything . to the girls who carrying a special thing around to feel safe . to the girls who never understood what they did wrong to feel so lonely . to the girls who were diagnosed later in life because they weren’t little boys who liked trains. you are so special and beautiful and you’re not worse for it, you love deeply and that is so wonderful please never try to push that down . I LOVE YOU !!!!!

people explaining this to me are missing the point. yes i know its a physics thing. i know our eyes work the same way. however. i simply believe light shouldn't work like that

you really can reach a point with transgender enlightenment wherein you can attribute any bodily feature silhouette and detail to any gender regardless of typical cisgender aesthetic connotations. anything can be a man's body if the person in it is a man. anything can be a woman's body if the person in it is a woman. anything can be a genderless body if the person in it is genderless. and so on. the only thing that matters is the personhood within and whether you are willing to look and know and see it. open your eyes. keep trying until you no longer flinch or turn away in shame or anger or confusion.
