Happily Never After: The Final Chapter of Our Great American Fairy Tale
Once upon a final time—because yes, even nonsense deserves a nap—we come to the end of our enchanting journey through the Kingdom of the United States of Amnesia. You have laughed. You have winced. You have shouted at your screen, “Wait, that cannot be real!” only to Google it and mutter, “Sweet Liberty in a meat grinder, it is.” And now, like all good bedtime stories for traumatized adults, we…

Ended up in charge of coordinating our neighborhood association's desperately needed transition to a management company and I don't know which of us is having a worse time, the company employee who emails me every day to go 'heeeey <3 can I have this vital piece of documentation so we know what the fuck we're doing here :)' or me who emails back every day to go 'we don't have that :) here's a word doc of my best guesses compiled from 4 years of mothball-scented email printouts that live on the floor of my closet <3'
#it's just like being at work#i am desperately trying to find SOMEONE who has documentation of our latest ROOF REPLACEMENT#for context: i got here 2 years ago. the people who've been here for 20+ either are incompetent or don't feel like helping#I have no institutional memory I just have all these fucking emails (4 years of emails. no emails prior to that)

Memorial to the engineers and electricians of rms Titanic.
The Titanic Engineers' Memorial is a memorial in East (Andrews) Park, Southampton, United Kingdom, to the engineers who died in the Titanic disaster on April 15, 1912.
The bronze and granite memorial was originally unveiled by Sir Archibald Denny, president of the Institute of Marine Engineers on April 22, 1914. The event was attended by an estimated 100,000 Southampton residents.

Hello Professor Pines! Sorry to be a bother but…screw it, I’m breaking protocol as is-
I’m a low-level agent from the Axolotl Displacement of Weirdness Agency(ooc an au I’m thinking of making, please ignore the parenthesis) and I have to inform you that you’re using improper channels for this.
There are different ways you could go about this, including reaching out to Ace/Watchdog Ford in order to receive a better fitting Stanley.
Besides that…Have you accounted for how Stanley Pines will act after that? There are few constant universal truths, but one of them that we follow at AWDA is that the Pines Twins are a SET. They come together for a reason, even if they aren’t ways deserving of their other half.
Attempting to remove a Stan from their Ford is bad enough, but are you prepared to deal with the consequences?
Ford/45 will do anything to get his Stanley back, are you prepared to have to kill him to prevent that? Furthermore, are you prepared to kill the rest of his family? Stanley’s quite close to his Grandneice and Grandnephew, and you know of his adoptive son. Even if you do all that, there’s no guarantee you’ll be able to stop Stanley/45 from attempting to join them when he finds out. Or you could not tell him and just wipe his memory again. Or you could gaslight him into thinking he’s in the right universe and manipulate those around you to back up your story and deal with the constant guilt of knowing you’re lying to your family
If you are prepared for that, then carry on.
If and probably when you decide to do that, seeing how possessive and obsessive most Stanford’s tend to be on the record, might I suggest faking Stanley/45s death? If I’m right, and this is the dimension/timeline in which Bill was defeated and the younger Pines twins succeeded and both lived, then the older Pines Twins of this dimension are on a boat somewhere?
If that is the case, then perhaps you can manipulate a situation where Stanley goes overboard and Stanford thinks he’s dead? Even better if you can get your portal, you are planning on transporting him with a portal I believe, to appear in the water so Stanley doesn’t risk drowning. And since the effects of the Memory gun are semi-permanent, if fading, perhaps you can lightly gaslight him into believing he’s in the right world? You’d have to be on a boat upon leaving, but it could work. Or you could possibly invent a device to alter the minds of those around you so they believe the situation you tell them to be true?
Sorry, I’m trying to come up with an outcome with the least fallback. I have to go now though, I‘lol be in enough trouble with my supervisor for messaging you, much less for doing it on an Agency computer
Agent Fennec signing off!
This is wonderfully planned, thank you! I'll take this and consider this for the plan. I just need to know when they'll be back on the water... Though, I don't want Stan to be in too much danger in the water. I don't want to risk anything.
I won't use the memory gun on Stanley unless I need to. Maybe I'll just use it on Ford. He doesn't need to remember this, anyway.
And, forgive if I'm mistaken, but I am under the impression that this Watchdog Ford is not particularly in my favor... I don't have to look for him, I'll just have to avoid him.
#“memory gun on Ford that would work surely!” the metal plate on bis head: tee hee#dr. pines answers inquiries#a better world au#gravity falls#gravity falls au#stanford pines#ford pines#dr. pines of the institute of oddology

A QUICK FIX, IT'S A CHEAP TRICK! anastasius grimaldi (he/him) — genius // macabre // cringe
private physician, three-time graduate from the university of britechester, and non-fiction author under the pen name of "p. estilence". despite his prodigious intellect and line of work, grimaldi comes with... a few eccentricities of his own.

Archery Science Professor at the Vulcan Institute of Defensive Arts [Patreon | Commissions]
#someone in the tags of a post [I can't remember which or I'd have put it in the caption]#said Tuvok is like those male english/history teachers that you're convinced are gay until they drop the fact that they have a wife and kid#that's all I was thinking as I drew this HEHEHE#Professor Tuvok/Young Dad can have longer hair as a treat#his hair does not grow downward - he's using products clips and accessories#bea art tag#happy Tuvok Tuesday <3#Tuvok#st voy#st voyager#star trek voyager#apparently (memory beta) the institute is located in Xen'tal which is on the outskirts of Gol#and the institute is really more for ceremonial practice and honing discipline since Vulcans have cast away violence & most of what's taugh#doesn't do much good if your enemy has - say - a phaser#but anyway all this to say it's a very small one-horse type of town with nothing much to do and I think that makes a lot of sense for Tuvok#imagine you're Sek and you grow up in Xen'tal and then one day your dad's like guys we're going to space#It's fun to imagine Tuvok's oldest thinking of him primarily as a professor while his youngest thinks of him primarily as Starfleet#Tuvok's kids bored out of their mind trying to think of something to do while wandering around town <3#Good image!!#It's fun to think of your favorite characters' pre-canon lives!#I like how even though Tuvok decided to raise a family rather than work in the temple he still has monk tendencies#he's so ascetic <3

Once Upon a Gavel: The Court of Forget-Me-Nots
Once upon a time, in the glittering ivory spires of the capital of the United States of Amnesia, there stood a mighty, unshakeable temple. It was said to be the final word on justice, the last breath of reason, and the ultimate guardian of the sacred scrolls known as the Constitution. This temple had nine thrones, each carved from the petrified bark of the Tree of Selective Memory, and it was…

……. i’ve gotta admit this kinda sounds like the “[error] is jon” truthers might have been on to something
#i mean the searching memories#trying to figure out what happened to the institute#and jon knows about hilltop in his universe so#i mean i do still think my theory of it being this universes archivist holds weight#because maybe it’s just very confused and trying to figure out how it ended up stuck in the archive or whatever#but idk this gave me pause a bit#the magnus protocol#tmagp#the magnus protocol spoilers#tmagp spoilers#tmagp 29

Not to be inconsiderate because it’s sad when any person dies…..but where did the sudden pope fandom on here come from
#to be clear it’s sad that he died and reasonable for people to mourn#but once again we see gentiles being afforded a level of understanding and charitability that has never once been given to Jews#they can memorialize the figurehead of a fucked up institution and we can’t even talk about our homeland…..interesting…..#maybe the new pope will give us back the shit they stole from us lol#jumblr

Hey, all. It’s your friendly neighborhood synth biology expert,* here to remind you of the horrifying reality that Gen 3 synths can canonically glitch out.




*this user is not a biology expert, synth or otherwise
Update: The primary drive message is confirmed in dialogue to be about early-Gen synths. Which means that A#-## designations do apply to them, meaning J2-84 could have also been a robo-synth.
#not impossible that j2 was just sneaking out on some clandestine activity#and covering with the time-honored ‘oh i’m just cleaning the boardroom sir:)” maneuver#idk how to square this with the fact that they’re identical to humans in nearly every way#i imagine the component just feeds them with memories and basic knowledge that humans develop as children#which would include speech patterns/language/coordination/sense of direction#also important to remember that human brains glitch too (especially under great stress)#fallout#fallout 4#fo4#the institute#now what the heck is a primary drive#also teaching a courser mandarin is a real ‘why does c3p0 know the ancient Sith language’ situation

Sometimes Friends Fight
*I was more invested in finishing this piece until i thought about detailing the stupid Courser jacket. voila, you get half finished bullshit.
-
“Stop fighting me, you jackass,” she hisses. “I’m your friend. You don’t want to do this.”
“An Institute Courser-” he bucks violently under her, his powerful legs giving him the momentum to catapult her off of him. Andy hits the floor hard, rolling away as X6 leaps back onto his feet. “-has no friends. I am a machine. Why won’t you accept this?”
“I have a stubborn streak a mile wide. I’m annoying like that.” She backs away from him, kicking his rifle under the railing as she does. It goes over the edge, clattering all the way down. At least he’s disarmed. Sort of. Arguably, his fists are weapons.
#oc andy#fallout 4#fo4#x6-88#friends fight#they make up eventually#he's testy about the whole fuck-the-institute thing#the pursuit of memory

The Tower of Executive Orders: A Fairy Tale of Presidential Power in the United States of Amnesia
Once upon a press cycle, in the enchanted swamplands of constitutional gray zones, stood a majestic, over-air-conditioned spire known as the Tower of Executive Orders. It loomed above the Kingdom of the United States of Amnesia like a caffeine-fueled intern—impressive in posture, questionable in judgment, and utterly convinced it was the most important part of the story. The Tower was home to…
