What If Soos Had Parakeet Wings Since I Remembered That If You Put A Covering On Soos He Falls Asleep

What if Soos had parakeet wings since i remembered that if you put a covering on soos he falls asleep like a parakeet.....

Also valid point ☝️ (but we might be getting a few too many parrots)

Awww this is sweet. I'm always a sucker for found family stuff.

Additional idea: Soos has learnt (probably from dealing with Stan let's be honest) that when handling stubborn, proud, people the best way to go about things is to let them think they've won.

He accepts her insistence on paying rent (maybe she insists that at least during the off season she still pays rent because they don't really need any help in the gift shop) but puts all of it into collage funds for her to "conveniently" discovery once she's 18.

Pacifica Pines AU

Asking for folks to share their Dipcifica headcanons with me lead to a ficlet written with @gobblewanker and @verysorrytobother which lead to this AU.

Pacifica starts dating Dipper when they’re 16, after several summers of adventures and personal growth. She’s become close friends with Mabel and her pals by now and is on friendly terms with the rest of the Pines family.

Their relationship is the last straw for her parents, who insist she immediately dump Dipper and start looking for a wealthy young man in hopes of restoring their fortune to its former glory. Despite the ultimatum of comply or be cut off, Paz stands her ground.

She spends the first few nights sleeping on a booth at Greasy’s, picking up late night and early morning shifts so no one will be suspicious. Despite it all, she’s still quite proud and refuses to seek out charity.

One night, Pacifica accidentally locks herself out of the diner and resorts to sleeping on a bench, in danger of a rainstorm or kidnapping by gnomes (or something far more frightening).

As luck would have it, Stan happens across her while on a late-night toffee peanut run. Although she weakly protests, he insists on bringing her home to the Shack.

Stan and Ford confront the Northwests (and Stan breaks Preston’s nose. Ford threatens to go to the police about their abandonment of Pacifica to dissuade Preston from pressing charges).

Dipper gives up his bed until they’re able to set Pacifica up in her own room.

The arrangement isn’t supposed to be long term at first, and Pacifica insists on paying rent. (Soos will only accept $5 a month and nothing more).

Eventually they come to an agreement that Paz can “work off” her room and board in exchange for help in the gift shop. She still works at the diner, since she makes great tips (and she secretly kind of enjoys it) but now she doesn’t have to take dangerous late-night shifts anymore.

Pacifica continues to stay with Soos and Melody (and the Stans) even after the twins return home to California for the year. There’s no way they’d turn her out on the street with the weather changing, even if business is slower outside the summer months.

Stan and Ford visit Dipper and Mabel’s family in California for the holidays. Pacifica accompanies them.

One day she slips up and calls Stan “Grunkle Stan.” She’s mortified, but Stan lets her know it’s no problem. Soon both he and Ford are her honorary grunkles.

Her parents attempt to regain custody when they realize Pacifica does not plan on coming home. The legal battle is messy, but the Pines are able to help her gain emanicipation (Stan may or may not have bribed the judge).

When Pacifica leaves for college, the Shack is where she returns home to on breaks.

Her relationship with Dipper stays strong, and they marry after graduating college. Pacifica officially changes her name to Pacifica Elise Pines, but at that point it’s just a formality. She’s been part of the family since the night Stan brought her home.

I usually don't post stuff unrelated to fandoms, but I was out with our cat in the garden and he was being cute. 😅

Heck yes, excellent addition. I'm always a sucker for Stan acting protective/paternal with the kids.

Hmmm I am usually not much of a shipper but: Pacifica's parents want her to get together with a rich boy when she's a teen to help them get their social standing back, but she sticks by Dipper regardless. Her parents give her the ultimatum to dump him or they 'dump' her, expecting her to comply. She doesn't, and gets kicked out. The Pines' basically adopt her after that (the whole thing hit's way to close to home for Stan and Ford).

Hold on... I’m okay... I’m fine, I’m fine...

She’s too proud to tell anyone about the situation, even after her parents kick her out. Stan finds her sleeping on a bench after she accidentally gets locked out of the diner (where she’d been staying). He takes her straight home to the Shack. Ford has to stop him and Dipper from keying the Northwests’ cars. Dipper stays up comforting her and lets her stay in his bed while he bunks on the couch.

Oh man this is so awesome and sweet, but also kind of strangely ominous? Because my overdramatic self immediately jumped to "AU where the events of the series is just Stan and Ford as children playing pretend and imagining a better future because their current life sucks."

Overdramatic cartoony villains, a new monster each time they play as the story gets gradually more and more convoluted, Stan gets to be the hero and save Ford and stuff, Ford gets to travel the universe and learn things nobody else knows, and they're the cool big kids who protect their family.

Also: the art is just amazing. It's beautifully summery and resurrects childhood memories I didn't even know I had.

IN MEMORIES THE PINES STILL PLAY ON A SUNNY SUMMER’S DAY

Oooh, how about Stan and Pacifica bonding?

What could a 60-something years old conman and a 12 year old heiress possibly bond over?

(The answer is daddy issues. Many, many daddy issues.)
