Evermore homed a lot of interesting people. 'Interesting' being a term that casted a very wide net here. Tambry knew she fell into a certain corner of that net with her phone and her vlog, but that didn't bother her one bit. She was just as shameless as always, and that included her farming the occasional stray resident for content. The black and pink haired girl was going on about her day when somebody was doing something that caught her eye. Observing quietly for a moment, she soon lifted her phone slightly, making sure the person was centered in the frame as she recorded.

closed starter : @wildcstwinter (dipper) 📍 the mystery shack

"See? He's back. Living proof that I did not murder Dipper for content. And no, he's not A.I." Tambry practically never showed up to the Mystery Shack on her own. Not unless she was heading there to meet up with Wendy. But today, here she was — walking right in mid-vlog and shoving her phone in Dipper's face so that her viewers would know he was indeed alive. Did enough time pass since everyone disappeared that this was all probably fine? Mmmmmm.... who really knows those things. Certainly not the internet. "So, like, everyone's bothering me for answers, Dipper. Or they're thinking I schemed all this up for clickbait. As if I'm that creative and somehow could get a whole town in on it along with some Oscar-worthy performances."

It wasn't uncommon for Tambry to drop in unannounced at Anna's chocolate shop. The redhead was pretty much a walking goldmine for content; at least Tambry's audience certainly thought so. Anna was one of the more frequently asked about characters in the vlog comments. It didn't matter if she was being clumsy, showing off her chocolate creations or... telling cringe-worthy jokes. Tambry adjusted her phone, propping it up against the counter so the camera could capture both of them in the frame. "What? A sheep covered in— do you get these jokes off Reddit or something? I don't know... dessert for a wolf?"

LOCATION: uh your choice FOR: @cellphonexddict

"You're gonna love this one," Anna promised, though she wasn't entirely sure that was true — she was the kind of person to burst into a fit of giggles at the most basic of jokes and even now, she struggled to keep a straight face as she posed the question. "What do you call a sheep covered in chocolate?"

[cellphonexddict]

Tambry raised a brow and tilter her head, her lips pursing when Wendy suggested putting down her phone. "Forget the vlog? C'mon, Wendy; if anyone has my posting notifications turned on, it's that little weirdo. Dipper knows you're in my vlogs all the time. Bet you when he sees this you won't even need to look around for him. He'll come to you whining about the fact that you didn't deny me calling him your little brother."

Popping her gum once more and twirling one of her signature pink highlights around her finger, Tambry groaned and finally stopped recording on her phone. "I don't know? Find out who the ringleader is? Do some culty shit? TBH if Dipper did it then we totally can. Can't be that hard."

Wendy could tell the woman was getting more and more annoyed with every minute that passed but, to be entirely fair, she wasn't forcing her to tag along. Sure, she'd complain if her best friend abandoned her here, but even Wendy knew this was pointless. All they were doing was walking circles, tiring themselves out, finding no real answers or solutions. If anyone in town was going to figure out where the missing residents went, she knew, it wasn't going to be the dynamic duo that was Wendy and Tambry. Running her tongue along her bottom lip, she bit back a sigh of her own.

"Forget about the vlog. This is serious, Tambry." But telling her to forget about the vlog, of course, was about as ridiculous as hoping Dipper was miraculously going to appear in front of them. Running her words through her mind, Wendy turned to face the phone — ignoring it for the woman behind the lens. "I hate that a cult is the only thing that actually makes sense. How would we find info about cults in Evermore?"

[cellphonexddict]

"Mmmm, probably not," Tambry answered far too bluntly to the girl in front of her, barely even looking up from her phone. She was just trying find somewhere with a bit of atmosphere to get a few drinks and doom scroll after following Wendy around looking for Dipper. "I mean, all those people disappearing all at once? And you think your friend is 'just fine'? Get real."

When her dark eyes finally flicked up from her screen, Tambry sighed upon seeing the girl's face. She looked like she was about to crack any minute now. With a roll of her eyes, Tambry raised one of her hands to snatch the missing person poster that the other was holding out. She looked it over, studying the paper face and printed information. "No, I haven't seen her. Sorry."

"Have you seen my friend Whit?" Alice asked, her voice strangely calm as she held the missing poster in front of her. "She's late for a very important date and I...I need to know she's okay. She has to be okay, right?" Ever since the news hit her mind had been moving a million miles a minute and her coping skills were not...the best. She couldn't focus or think right and after crying about it in solitude her mind just went into straight denial. "She has to be here somewhere....she has to be alright. So I'm checking work first and then her favorite spots and...it's going to be just fine! Right?"

[cellphonexddict]

An aggravated groan pushed through Tambry's throat as she followed her best friend around every which way. Her fingertips were practically feral as they tapped around her phone screen. "UGH. How many times are we going to keep walking around in circles, Wendy? My footage keeps deleting," the girl complained, blowing a bubble with her gum. Her eyes flicked upwards for a few seconds, pondering their question. "I don't know? I mean, theres a lot of people missing. Pretty sure the town would smell pretty bad if they were all, you know," Tambry dragged her thumb across her neck, not saying the word out loud as her way of being gentle with the situation at hand. "Maybe they all just joined a cult or something." Her attention turned back to her phone.

📱 status update: creepy town swallowed up like half the residents. theories?? #WheresDipper

Once again, Tambry switched to her camera app and restarted her vlog for a third time. "Alright. Here I am aimlessly following Wendy around as we look for their little brother or something," Tambry spoke those words louder than normal, as if regarding Dipper in such a way would make him magically appear out of the blue to yell at and correct her. She could practically hear him screeching in the back of her head.

Staring at the line of trees, Wendy stood with one hand on her hip, a very large stick gripped in the other, hanging over her shoulder. They'd tried three times now to go through the woods, but at some point, they always ended up... on the other side of town, somehow, dazed and confused. Which was actually really kind of creepy, and no doubt something Dipper had already investigated. Which was why she was doing this, of course. She was lazy, but sometimes she cared enough to override the amotivation that was so deeply ingrained in her. Hearing footsteps, Wendy turned to their newfound company, bewilderment dancing across their features. "They had to get through this, right?"

Tambry raised a very unenthusiastic brow at this guy's sad attempt to flirt. Guess he really wasn't kidding when he said 'he's got nothing.' A compliment is a compliment though, so his words weren't completely unappreciated. At least he had the guts to say what he wanted to say. That or he was like herself and didn't have a filter to begin with. Either way it granted a slightly amused huff to escape her lips before she spoke. "Slow your roll there, coffee boy. I offered to share as a trade for something better than a half-entertaining photo. From what I can see, I've got a full bottle of vodka and you've got caffeine roadkill."

Phil had been having a pretty okay day, he'd woken up late and hadn't managed to find a pair of jeans that didn't have some kind of stain on it and, when he left, there was a moth trapped in his car. To some, that would have been a horrible day but to him? Not too bad if he did say so himself. Plus, markings on the moth made it look like the little dude was wearing sunglasses so that was an extra win. The only thing that managed to get him out of his chipper mood was this, buying an iced coffee, getting the milk and sugar ratio perfect and then...dropping it immediately after walking out the door and onto the sidewalk. It wasn't bad enough that it happened, oh no, it got even worse when the unmistakable sound of a camera going off could be heard and Phil lifted his eyes to find...well, an undeniably hot woman taking his photo. Talk about a mix of emotions. "I'm sorry to tell you...I've got nothing so if me dropping my iced coffee is what does it for you, have at it although, I wouldn't say no to sharing pretty much anything with you."

[cellphonexddict]

Not being able to hide her expressions, Tambry outwardly cringed when she saw this girl's crying face. Her mind couldn't help but flicker to that one Kim Kardashian meme that went viral however many years ago. "Oh my god, you really are a sad sack," the words fell flatly out of her lips, no filter to be had. Tambry didn't mean it in a judgmental way, it was just an observation. "Pretty sure it's always rude to take advantage of people period. But hey, I'm not the most polite anyway. Clearly," she said before unceremoniously blowing a bubble with her gum.

Her dark eyes landed on the redhead's broken heel. "Well, I don't think your liquor's working well enough with those crocodile tears. Let me see that," Tambry said, her hand motioning towards the snapped heel.

The sidewalk wasn't the best place to cry, but here Kimberly sat, her broken heel dangling in one hand, the other holding her face as she absolutely bawled, sitting on the curb.

It was totally unlike her, but there was just so many things weighing on her shoulders. The business, school, missing her family, worrying about paying rent and taxes, plus trying to have a social life and do the dishes, and get up and do it all over again.

Her heel breaking on the way out of the liquor store was the final straw and Kim had flung herself to the sidewalk and burst into tears.

She startled at the flash of the camera, looking up and opening her mouth to start yelling. She gulped at the picture on the device in front of her.

"It's rude to take advantage of people in distress," she replied, turning away and sticking her nose in the air. "And I don't want your liquor, I have my own."

[cellphonexddict]

Taking a moment to realize that the unfortunate victim of her camera was Swizz, Tambry pursed her lips in contemplation when she saw how roughed up he was. "I would kick a man while he's up, too so don't take it personally. If we're gonna talk about somebody kicking you though— I can't quite put my finger on it but something tells me someone beat me to it."

The girl crossed her arms, saving the photo for later and opting to tuck her phone under her arm for now. "That one night at your place, weren't you saying something cringey like you were a freak in the sheets? What made you decide to graduate to the streets? You look like shit." If Tambry was anything, it was blunt. Didn't matter who you were or how she knew you. Swizz was no exception.

He wasn't having the best night. In fact, it was pretty shit, all things considered. Sunk down onto the sidewalk, back pressed against the closest store side he could stumble to, Swizz was sure he looked just downright glamorous holding the sleeve of his hoodie against his bleeding mouth. He couldn't even remember what had started the fight now, he just knew throwing punches sounded a lot more fun before his lip was busted and his eye was black. He'd like to say you should see the other guy, but he'd gotten away pretty much unscathed. Squinting his eyes at the sudden flash, drunk enough it disoriented him but not too drunk to care, Swizz shook his head at Tambry's offer. "You just like kicking a man while he's down? Don't taunt me with free liquor."

flashback/closed starter: @wendayee  📍 outside superhero headquarters

This place was mega weird and really harshing Tambry's vibe. Evermore? What kind of town name even was that? Sounded fake to her. The girl got a strange energy from this place, and it wasn't just because she was holding a grudge that all of her footage mysteriously got deleted from her phone when she and Robbie arrived here. The pair haven't had any luck with finding Wendy so far, but Tambry really hoped she was in some other creepy town that didn't eat her vlogs.

Holding up her phone, Tambry took an annoyed selfie in front of a store with an obnoxiously bright sign. Superhero Headquarters? Whatever that meant. Her thumbs moved almost impressively quick as she typed a caption to go with it before uploading to her socials.

📱 #WheresWendy day: ??? no vlog today because all of my footage decided to not exist anymore. 👎🏻. wtf. this town bites.

open starter : @evermorehqsstart 📍 a random sidewalk

Topsy Turvy was a bust tonight. The DJ was lame, the atmosphere was off and Tambry hardly managed to get anything of interest for her vlogs. Hell, she barely even scraped together a strong buzz and a cool Instagram story. Not to mention it was a weird crowd tonight. And not her kind of weird, either. The girl decided to hit up the liquor store on her way home, opting to walk with her small bottle of vodka casually swinging between her fingertips.

Her face was buried in her phone until she heard a noise that attracted her attention. As her eyes flicked upward, Tambry was greeted with a scene on the pavement that had her pulling up her camera in seconds. The flash on her phone went off, capturing the figure in a pretty unflattering and potentially embarrassing photo. "Wow. That's depressing."

📱 status update: walk home ruined by sidewalk sad sack.

Turning her phone around so the screen was visible to the person in front of her, she tilted her head. "I'll delete it if you can give me some better content to work with than this lame photo. I'll even share my liquor with you."

HEADCANONS –

Tambry’s home life, in her own words, “majorly sucks.” Her parents were pretty middle of the road when it came to income, but they never actually acted like parents. Honestly they more so acted like teenagers. Maybe that’s where she got it from. They got into big blow outs all of the time, fighting and screaming at each other (especially when fueled by alcohol), only to make it all up to each other in the bedroom the next day. Much to Tambry’s disgust. Aside from this, they never really wanted a kid. Tambry was just the product of one of their frequent “apology sessions.” Ever since she was little, she was kind of just pushed aside. Never had any wholesome family memories. Never actually felt genuinely loved. Her parents would just occasionally buy her something in hopes that she would occupy herself not cause any issues. Naturally, having parents like this made Tambry act out a lot growing up until she ended up resenting them completely and avoiding them whenever possible. Her house in Gravity Falls is not a home to her, which is why she hung around Wendy’s so much. Nonetheless, it was a great place to throw parties when her parents were away.

The Gravity Falls gang is who Tambry considers her real family. Wendy especially is pretty much like a sister to her. The two were practically attached at the hip ever since they could ride tricycles. Their little group is full of weirdos, but they’re her weirdos. She goes along with their stupid shenanigans. Chanting to convince someone to do a stupid dare. Constantly filming their bizarre, spontaneous games they come up with. Tambry has all these amazing memories locked and loaded on her phone and on piles of SD cards. Crazy parties. Hilarious moments of reckless behavior. She loves looking back them, especially in her bed at the end of the day. Her friends fill a void that her family never did, and Tamrby is actually a little more sentimental than she’d ever let on. 

Tambry definitely has, as that one TikTok trend would put it, “scary dog privilege.” Girl’s got major RBF. It’s out of her control. She’s got this intimidating quality to her that can be a little off putting at first. She likes it though. Tambry’s not exactly built for the weak anyway. The girl is extremely blunt, even more so in her mass amounts of status updates. Her personal style only adds to all this. The bold, pink color in her hair. The dark eye makeup. The many ear piercings. She’s this unique blend of goth, emo and scene all wrapped up into one and toned down a bit. Not totally out there but definitely a head turner from the norm. Tambry started getting into this personal style of hers when she was young and experimenting with clothes and makeup. Once she realized it realllyyy pissed off her parents, she was sold.

This girl is not a great rule follower. Definitely on that “better to ask forgiveness than permission” type beat… except it’ll be a half-assed apology as opposed to a genuine one, but better than nothing, right? That’s how you get good content after all. How many people could say they broke in to a condemned, rumored to be haunted convenience store and had a food fight? Tambry can. Of course, she’s not usually the ring leader when it comes to dumb ideas like that, but she goes along for fun. She typically instigates smaller chaotic acts here and there and never operates alone when she does.

Tambry is surface-level judgmental. She’ll judge you point-blank to your face but won’t take it to heart. Most of the time she’ll just let it roll off her shoulder. “You’re so needy,” will still hang with you. “This is creepier than I expected,” still goes along with your bullshit. It’s one reason she’s able to get along with so many different types of people and social rankings to a certain extent. Don’t get her twisted, if you give her reason enough that judgment will sink down into her core. But her life is full of some pretty strange people, so she’s built some tolerance. Everybody’s weird.
