Idea: Monster Falls but evil (by which I mean the nature of the curse, not the characters) (longpost)

So I was looking at Monster Falls stuff and thinking, "Hey, these characters keep ending up being cool." Like, it's not as if Dipper would be especially happy to be half deer but a cervitaur is cool, aligns with who Dipper wants to be well enough, and he totally gets abilities he likes out of the deal. Mabel's usually happy to be a mermaid or a unicorn and again, it fits. And no hate. I like Monster Falls because it's fun like that.

But what if instead of fitting the character, it fit their insecurities, traumas, etc., in the worst possible way?

Okay, I really need to reply to this post.

OP, I LOVE HOW YOUR MIND WORKS. I love your ideas and the reason why you chose to go with them, the way you worked with each character's "worst possible outcome" feels so so nice, man AAHH

- I love how you played into Dipper's and Mabel's insecurities (Dipper's masculinity and Mabel's cuteness);

- I love (AUGH) how Stan was locked behind a mirror 😭 Oh my god. And he had to tell the truth to Soos in order to get the portal back on?! I love this man. Locked in a mirror and still dedicated to save his brother. Good man.

- Wendy has got to be my favorite. I love that you chose a wood giant as a species for her, which is LOVELY because it fits her perfectly !!!!! You said it yourself !!! "Freakishly tall" as an insecurity combined with "becoming a TREE monster while my entire family are lumberjacks"?? WONDERFUL, MAN. WONDERFUL. The detail of her shivering when she's anxious makes me so so happy, and I hope her friends will still stick with her regardless (though I have no idea if they would... I'd like to hope so, but mm.)

- I also want to mention that I was already going to follow you due to this awesome post (your ideas are FIRE !!!), but I had to pause my reading and click "follow" because you mentioned Robbie AND Thompson at one point. People never mention Thompson, so seeing you give him some recognition immediately got you in my good graces, even if this doesn't mean much to you in the long run bwahha

- I also love Soos as a gluttony demon awawawaw... I feel so bad for him though :(( !!!

- the Valentino family is ON POINT OH MY GOSH I LOVE THEM SO MUCH. I actually have so so many questions for them hold on:

- Will any of them ever rot? If yes, how do they fix it?

- As a zombie, it's sort of implied that Robbie won't get to grow up. How does his body work? What stops him from dying? What stop his from rotting? Does he still need air, food, blood and sleep? Does he ever crave brains like summoned zombies do? Is he weak to three-part harmonies like summoned zombies are? If not, is he, like, a different breed of zombie ??? If blood still pumps in his veins, can he reproduce??? Does he still feel pain???

- Assuming he can't grow up physically, can he be modified manually?? Pick and choose new body parts, Grandpa Frankenstein style 😭😭😭 ?

- On a related note... If his body is actually stagnated as a 14yo zombie, does that mean his brain is physically incapable of developing any further, essentially age-locking him into being 14, physically and mentally, forever?

- On another related note: can either of them die ??? Like, I assume they can die from accidents or murder or anything, but can they age out? Can Janice just die from old age, or would she live for hundreds of years and only change vessels at best? Can Greg switch bodies if his gets too old and wrinkly? Can Robbie just exist for an absurdly long time, assuming his body doesn't rot in a normal way?

- Also lmao— did Greg and Janice really produce a child themselves? If so, that's the miracle of life right there. How did that even happen. Gravity Falls, how did that even happen lmao HEHAHEE /LH

- Also also can they have Shifty as a pet or a little sibling? Please. PLEASE. It would be so funny. It would be SO FUNNY, this nuclear, suburban-looking little family conveniently composed of monsters, just chilling in the cemetery HEAHHEHEHEHEHR. Shifty and Robbie can bond about hating Dipper, I promise it'll be so funny /J . Shifty can also receive the parental love (a little suffocating kind of it, but still love) that he was denied from having from his OG "parents" (Stanford and Fiddleford) back in the bunker 🙌

I love Pacifica's family on this too 😭😭😭 the choice for Pacifica's monster connecting to her "being stuck in this life because she masked being an aristocratic jerk for so long that it became a part of her real self" is brutally cool, man. Tragic, but cool...

- Where did Priscilla go 😭 omg girl I hope you marry rich again. Go wild, dear . The way he IMMEDIATELY divorced you 😭😭😭😭😭

- Also would a dog whistle work on Preston? IT WOULD BE SO FUNNY. TRY THAT BELL AGAIN, PUPPY, COME ON 👹👹👹👹👹👹

Also, I really did miss Gideon, but I admit it'd be hard to find something for him. Arguably, he cares about his "cuteness" way more than Mabel does, because that's (one of) his greatest asset(s) in convincing people into doing what he wants. Losing that means losing everything (his crowd, his role as Lil' Gideon), especially if whatever form he gets makes it harder for him to see (read + write) or talk (charm people). It's not up to me though hehehehee.

Overall I'm so happy you posted this, man. Thank you for your input, I loved hearing your ideas :D !!!!!

ok wait i just had an idea that could either be very fun and interesting (at least to me) or go horribly off the rails. humor me for a second

consider the following scenario: the owner of a venomous snake commands the snake to bite another person. the victim is brought to a hospital, but is unable to receive antivenom and succumbs to their injuries.

consider the following to be true for the purposes of this case:

2. the charges listed above are defined as follows:

3. the owner of the snake is known to have a contentious relationship with the bite victim, and the two have been involved in altercations in the past. family and friends of the victim and the defendant will attest that the two parties did not regard each other as positive acquaintances, and that each considered the other an "enemy." the two parties were seen having a verbal dispute earlier on the day of the crime.

no nuance button, you're on the jury and you gotta cast a vote. but please feel free to expand upon your reasoning in the tags!

Who took the victim to the hospital?

excellent question! let's say that the victim called 911 on their own behalf after exiting the home where the snake attack occurred

You will be randomly assigned a NightWing name. Spin this wheel for your prefix (first part of your name) and then spin this wheel for your suffix (second part of your name).

(I got the name Marveladvisor... It's tolerable)

The funniest part is that I clicked it while thinking "really? (NSFW) On Tumblr?" And then realized I fell for it just like Dipper fell for "DIPPER LOOK, WENDY IN A BIKINI!"/ "Really? At night?"

You're not who you used to be

You are offered tax-free physical money (eg: no bank transfer) with one catch: the person giving it to you says the money is cursed. Assume the money is in USD.
