Mabel: "You know, I'm suprised we haven't heard from Grunkle St—"

*She's interrupted by Stanley all of sudden bursting into the room*

Stan: "WE'VE BEEN ROBBED?! Oh, the humanity! Give it to me straight, Sixer. How much did I — uh — we — uh — you lose?"

Yep, this is my new headcanon for Stan now. Filbrick would have absolutely given Stanley this as his middle name. It would have gone like this:

Nurse: "Alright, so we've got Stanford's name settled. What about the other twin's? His first name?"

Filbrick: "Stanley."

Nurse: "..."

Nurse: "Very...creative, I see. Though, I suppose matching names are quite common for twins. Middle name?"

Filbrick: "Also Filbrick."

Nurse: "..."

Nurse: "You — You know, you probably should give them different middle names. I get that they're twins and all, but they should still have their own sense of identity—"

Filbrick: "I did."

Nurse: "...You did what?"

Filbrick: "Are you deaf? I said I did give him a different middle name! It's 'Also Filbrick.'"

Nurse: "..."

Nurse: "Alright then. Stanley Also Filbrick Pines it is..."

DEAR GRAVITY FALLS FANDOM: @songforten AND I HAVE A PROPOSAL.

Transcript under cut:

quantumshade: “not like he can judge. guy who doesn’t have a canon middle name but fanon ones include things like “danley” “caryn” “also filbrick” and the like

Cosmo: HELP I HAVENT SEEN “ALSO FILBRICK” BEFORE

Cosmo: STANLEY ALSO FILBRICK PINES

Cosmo: THATS REALLY FUNNY

quantumshade: LMAOOOO i meant that he just had the same middle name as ford but now that I think about it.

quantumshade: this is canon to me.

Cosmo: It’s Also Filbrick now.

Cosmo: Filbrick Pines would do that

quantumshade: he would

quantumshade: he’d say it to whoever was writing on the brith certificate and not correct them when they write the “also”

Okay, okay. I thought it would take me longer to think of a question because I'm terrible at asking questions but;

To all of the characters in the actor au; who is their favourite character? Why?

Dear Majorinfanfiction,

You want to know my favorite character? I could take a while and pretend that they're all as a great as each other, but I'll save you the time. In truth — and this is an objective fact, no matter what Mason may say about it — the best character is Mabel. You don't see many characters like her so full of heart and fun that don't come off as annoying in media. People can be soooo depressing nowadays. The world needs a little sunshine. Ugh, that was so corny. Mabel (the actor, not the character) is rubbing off on me.

You're welcome,

Patricia

Dear Majoringinfanfiction,

Hiiiii!!!!!! Thank you SO much for the question! I love answering them. Anyways— My favorite character? Umm, this is a difficult one. They're all so amazing in their own way, y'know? If I had to pick only one, I think I would maybe choose Waddles. Yeah, sorry, I may be a bit biased, but come on— Look at his face! Look at his cute, widdle feet and chubby cheeks. Tell me you don't like him. Try to. You'll find you can't because he's the BEST!

Best wishes,

Mabel <3

Dear Majoringinfanfiction,

I appreciate you going out of your way to ask me this question. If I were to choose my favorite character out of all of them from the show, I would probably choose Bill Cipher. May seem strange at first (considering the character I play and all), but it most likely stems from the fact that I love horror, and Bill? He feels like he stepped straight out of some weird, psychological or body horror film. I'm honestly suprised he was deemed "child-friendly" enough to be placed in the show, but if it allowed us to end up with an excellent character, then I'll just reap the benefits from a flawed system. If I only would be able to do the same for capitalism. Just kidding, I don't have to worry about that...yet.

Sincerely,

Mason

Dear Majoringinfanfiction,

Thank you for sending me this question! I don't tend to usually receive many. I'm not as popular as the other actors, but in all honesty, I'm fine with that. Who's my favorite character? Probably Mabel, but not in the same way as my character feels toward her in the show. I just think she's really sweet with a heart of gold; that's all. I hope your day goes swell.

Best regards,

Deon

Dear Majoringinfanfiction,

Hi. I just want to say: Thank you so much, dude (neutral). It warms my heart to know you all have some interest in me as a person. Now, who's my favorite character? Hmm... This is a serious, chin-holding question, I'm gonna be honest. I'd probably go with Mr. Stanley Pines. He's a fun dude in the show with a good sense of humor. Very cool. Thanks again!

Cheers,

Alza (or Alzamirano if we're going to be formal. Are we?)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Majoringinfanfiction,

Hey there! Thank you kindly for sending this me this ask. I don't believe I could express just how greatly I appreciate it. Onto the question: "Who's my favorite character? Why?" Well, I would say that it's Pacifica Northwest. A lot of people tend to write rich folks as heartless and shallow, as if there's nothing human about them and they're just a soul-less name. I say that's just not true. Every human being is a human being! They are have a heart hidden beneath their skin that beats as much as yours. There's a person behind that wealthy name who lives and breathes. Yet, when it comes to fiction, writers will act like there's not. The writers for this show didn't though. They gave that rich person a personality behind the name and that name is Pacifica.

With gratitude,

Hadron

Dear Majoringinfanfiction,

This was one of the most interesting questions out of my mountains of fanmail, so I shall answer it first (I'm half-joking, I love and appreciate all of my fans; don't attack me with pitchforks). Who is moi's favorite character, you ask? Why, I shall delight you with a response! You better write this down into the history books. History is happening (hence what books they'll be written in)! My favorite character is...drumroll please...🥁🥁🥁🥁

...

(Wait for it.)

...

(Come on, you can be patient. Sheesh, give a triangle some time.)

...

None other than Stanford Filbrick Pines! Everyone give me a round of applause for answering a question with personal thoughts tied to it! And maybe a margarita while you're at it. No, I will not be explaining why or elaborating on my answer. The show's community is built on theorizing, this is practically a homage to that and certainly not an attempt to avoid introspect.

Yours,

William

Dear Majoringinfanfiction,

You want to know who my favorite character is? Fine. I'll give ya three hints. You get it wrong, you owe me five dollars. Deal? Deal.

1. He appeared at a later date

2. He has fingers

3. He's a nerd

There you go. If you said anyone other than Stanford, then pay up. Ya owe me money from the bet that you definitely, 100% agreed to. As for why he's my favorite, he reminds me a lot of my brother! Nerdy, socially awkward, and a huge stick in the mud (but in an affectionate way).

PayPal me,

Stan

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Majoringinfanfiction,

I would like to start this letter by informing you of just how honored I am that you chose to send fanmail of me to all people. I was doubtful that anyone would enjoy my performances and insecure of my worth in the acting industry. However, these thoughts were proven to be quite incorrect just moments after the episode of my first appearance aired. I cannot state just how much everyone's support has meant to me. With that said, I will now proceed to answer your question.

I would, in full confidence, state that Stan is my favorite character due to how much he's like my brother. They truly are similar; it's very uncanny. Yet, it also only strengthens my fondness of the character. I hope that my response is found satisfactory.

Cordially,

Dr. Ford

Wendy: "You didn't tell your grunkle you were going to a dangerous, underground bunker, did you?"

Dipper: "I kinda, sorta didn't tell him...anything."

Wendy: "Dipper! That's irresponsible! He'll be worried sick. Call your grunkle this instant and tell him that you are spending the night at a friend's house, okay?"

*Hands him her phone while winking with one eye*

Wendy: "Lying: It's the responsible thing to do."

I was going to create my own EPIC: The Musical x Gravity Falls AU if I couldn't find anything on Tumblr and name it "Epic Falls". Seems like the name was already taken, but at least someone is taking advantage of the potential for the crossover. This is really neat!

You are a Warrior of the Mind...

Don't disappoint me

More on the AU under cut!

I've finally more or less figured out how Epic Falls is gonna go! Everything I make for this au is probably not gonna be a fully finished piece, I just had an itch thinking about Ford and Bill in this AU

In this AU, Ford, Stan and Shermie are all sent to fight in the war, through a series of misunderstandings and accidents and more than a little intervention by a certain demon to get Ford out of Ithaca

Shermie was the heir, being the oldest, but he figured Ford would be a better ruler than him anyway, Stan was actually sent to war by King Filbrick in order to ensure Ford would be next in line after Shermie, and Ford got a very odd dream that convinced him he needed to prove himself to his kingdom by winning the war for Ithaca. Little did he know Shermie was also leaving... (for more info you could look at the epic falls tag!!)

ANYWAY, Ford and Bill. Wow are these guys interesting.

Ford basically treated Bill as one of his only friends, his muse, and Bill convinced him that he needed Bills help to win the war. It's only once he break the deal with Bill and properly lets his brothers in on the warplanning that they pull a Trojan Horse and win the war. (The actual reasoning for the war in this au is... under progress)

Bill, angered by Ford's insolence and him breaking the deal, acts as nearly all the gods in this AU, taking the place of Athena, Zeus in Thunder Bringer, and Posiedon (Bills goal in this AU is to rid Ithaca of all of its heirs, and he has his own ulterior motives for that. Getting into his character is gonna be a blast guys, trust) (all of which has IMPLICATIONS for 'We'll be Fine')

Okay, I knew I was going to get back round to asking more questions.

To all of the characters, if you had the ability to play any other character in the show, who would you want to play and why? It's similar to my last question, but I guess I just have a theme of questioning.

Dear Majoringinfanfiction,

Honestly, I don't know if any of the other characters are worthy of being played by me and if I'm worthy of playing them, but I'll still humor you and answer your question. Out of all of them (besides Pacifica, obviously), I would choose Wendy. Surprised? Maybe you are, maybe you aren't. I don't care either way.

The reason I didn't choose Mabel is that while she's my favorite character, I don't think I would be a good fit for her. Yeah, I know. "What? Patricia being honest and modest for once?" Don't get used to it. I still know my greatness and won't tone it down for anyone. Switching back to the subject — I don't radiate any of the positive energy needed to capture her personality. Which is why I believe I would be a better fit for Wendy. She's calm and relaxed, so I wouldn't have to muster up any terribly strong emotions for my performance as her. I could just be...carefree. No overally dramatic acting, no fake persona. Nothing that screams extra required. She can also have a lot of bite and snark from time to time, not caring what those in charge think. She's a rebellious spirit, which could be really fun to play. What I would give to be able to break free and truly be myself for once.

You're welcome,

Patricia

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Majoringinfanfiction,

If I were able to play someone else, I would probably choose... Hmm... Oh! Candy and Grenda! They were super cute and fun in the show, I'd love to be them. Also, Grenda has a lizard! Do you hear me people? A LIZARD!! Aren't they the cutest things? No offense, Waddles, you're still adorable and my favorite animal.

Best wishes,

Mabel <3

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Majoringinfanfiction,

That's...actually a really cool question. And, to answer it, a character I would like to play — if I could — out of the entire cast would probably be Stanford. He's the only other character besides Dipper who has a deep interest in the supernatural. He's passionate about it and his character's gimmick revolves around his love for the weird and peculiar. He kinda reminds me of myself in that way. I love horror not only because of how it's dark and eerie, but also because how it delves into different ideas about the paranormal — the strange and mysterious. I love it just like he does.

Sincerely,

Mason

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Majoringinfanfiction,

You're asking me who I'd rather be if I could be anyone else? Well, I would have to say that, out of everyone, I would wanna be Dipper. He's a neat kid with a good brain and knack for solving mysteries — a fun character to play!

Best regards,

Deon

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Majoringinfanfiction,

Huh. That's an interesting question. I like it! Though, it definitely takes some thought and I left most of my brain behind at school. Now, I'm like some mindless, slow zombie. Rawww (or whatever noises zombies typically make; I don't study their text language)! Haha!

Don't worry, though — this zombie is still going to answer your fanmail! Speaking of which, I would wanna be...hmmm...Mabel! Yeah, I'd wanna play her. She seems cool as in she's fun, has a good sense of humor, and owns a pig. You DON'T understand just how much the pig point matters to me.

Wilma

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Majoringinfanfiction,

That's a seriously good question, dude! I approve and will take my solemn duty to answer it very seriously. (That wasn't too many "seriously"s, was it?) Out of all of the characters from the show, I would want to play Melody. She's extremely sweet and nice and has excellent opinions on the important topic of lunch meat. All very good stuff to me in a person and character.

Cheers,

Alza

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Majoringinfanfiction,

In all honesty, there is no one who I'd rather be than the fellow I'm already playing. Not to say that none of the other characters are interesting — they all have their own merits — it's just that none of them call out to me like Fiddleford did. It's probably the fact that he reminds me the most of myself out of all of the characters (plays a banjo, is typically disregarded by his peers, and comes from the South) that I feel so comfortable and at home playing him. It's like how you might be drawn to the people you find most relatable — the similarities make you feel like you belong there, that there's nothing wrong about your presence. Even if you don't quite fit in with everyone else, it's okay because you have someone there who's like you. The other characters don't give me that feeling and I don't know if I would click with them as much in terms of acting.

Respectfully,

Hadron

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Majoringinfanfiction,

I know that you've been waiting for my response to your question and I'll justify the unbelievable amount of time you spent with an answer. What other character would I want to play? That is the question. Would I want to be kind and loving Mabel, anxious and nerdy Dipper, greedy and plotting Stanley, spirited and chill Wendy, some six-fingered nerd, or literally any of the other hundreds of characters? (Seriously, there's a lot.) Well, the answer is simple and quite obvious. I mean, come on. Who could I possibly rather be other than GIFfany? She's a yandre who's willing to kill just to ensure her one love belongs to her and only her, which would be thrilling to play. She's cunning and manipulative, and hides who she truly is behind a mask of a sweet and sensitive digital girlfriend; her persona the dangling lure of an anglerfish. Plus, I just enjoy acting as villains. Hopefully that doesn't say anything about me, haha!

Yours,

William

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Majoringinfanfiction,

Let's see — who would I want to be out of the endless cast of characters? Oh no, it's such a hard decision. I can't decide, I think I'm just going to go with — yeah, I'll quit messing around. I would want to play Tad Strange.

...

What? You want me to explain why? Ugh, people these days. They think they're so entitled to knowing everything. Well, fine. I'll humor you. I chose him because I would get paid a lot of money for doing basically nothing! It would be an easy job with an excellent pay.

Goodbye,

Stan

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Majoringinfanfiction,

If I was granted the virtue of the ability of being able to play any other character, I would — in the end — come to the conclusion of finding Agent Powers to be the most desirable role. The idea of playing the governmental official who has a part in the reveal of the portal is one that brings me utmost delight. However, I still would like to note that I prefer the character I was selected to act as best.

Cordially,

Dr. Ford

Bill: "Make a deal with me, and I'll give you ten bucks~!"

Stan: "Oh, boy! Ten bucks!"

Ford: "No, Stan! Your soul is worth more than ten bucks."

Stan: "Hey, you're right!"

...

Stan: "Make it twenty."
