I'm not calling my brother, Fiddleford. If you haven't heard me just now we--

It ain't just 'bout whether or not ya'll had sum gosh darn diggly dang fight, Stanferd. It's 'bout the fact ya'll were kids back then and ya still haven't forgiven him. That's a whole other level of petty, mindja! Throwin' a hissy fit and all.

It's not... Fiddleford--let's just prepare for our trip. It's not like I even know if Stanley HAS a phone number.

Didn't ya just say that your ma has got one?

... Well, yes. But we need to find the parts for the portal- Hold on. Is that on? [Rustling...]

It has been on! Hopefully no one heard this. Fiddleford, we'll talk about this later. For now, just gather your camping gear so we can get to it quickly.

Fine.

[doublefords]

Greetings, friends! Fiddleford and I are about to hike around Gravity Falls in search of some parts for our… project. We’re hoping to use this blog as a way to document any findings and share our thoughts. Wish us luck, because it is a bit of a hike!

[doublefords]

… Well, thank you for the advice, dimension 46’\ Stanford Pines.

Ya have a brother? The more ya know! (Even… if we’ve known each other for quite a while now!) Also, howdy there other Ford!

We can talk about that later, Fiddleford.

We should go call yer brother (Stanley, right?) later on. Sounds like ya haven’t talked to him in a hot minute… also, Ford, who’s this triangl—

Anyways, thank you for your answers! Again, wish you all the best!

Stanferd—

Stanford Pines and Fiddleford McGucket, signing off.

Greetings! Stanford Pines {"an' Fiddleford McGucket"}, speaking.

I've recently crossed paths with your 'blog' on the... inter-web... due to the two kids who recently paid my research partner and I a visit.

I was particularly intrigued with your universe, considering that you're (as your name states...) a sixty year old trapped in a kids body.

F doesn't have too much to say. But I did have a... list of questions. If you could just allow me to... pull that list out...

Number one: From what I've heard, you still retain memories of the present, yes? Just wanted to make sure before I go on...

Number two: Has your brain reverted to the intelligence of a ten year old due to the minification, or has your IQ stuck with you?

Lastly: Only answer this if you've said yes to number one: Any advice for the future?

Anyways, I wish you all the best on your endeavors.

Sincerely, Stanford Pines and Fiddleford McGucket.

(ooc: no, this is not a ship blog if you're wondering! just these two goobers as research partners.)

Greetings! A fellow Stanford, I see, always nice to meet one who is, er, sane. This is 46'\ Stanford speaking.

As for your questions..

Yes, I have retained all of my memories, although the ones from when I was originally this age feel clearer now.

My intelligence most certainly has not reverted! ..emotional maturity may have.

Advice for the future.. I'm not sure how much I can say. Um.. don't talk to triangles, and.. you're going to see Stanley again someday if you haven't already.

When you do, hug him. Don't take him for granted.

And if you're lucky enough to have him right now, hug him anyway! If you're anything like me you surely want to.

You know what- if he isn't there right now I implore you to call him up. Ma can give you his address, and I know you have an extra bedroom or money for a bunk bed. Don't be stupid like the majority of us! Really, you think you're intelligent, but ouf..

Oh-- hello, Fiddleford! It's been a while since I've spoken to my dimension's version of you, I should go do that.

Anyway, hug Stanley and don't commune with people consisting of less than four sides and four vertices.

(ooc) dw about it bro fidda*thor is like. the one ford ship i tolerate but hey ty for letting me know!!! :]

also fun fact: minified!ford's original advice for your ford was going to be "you're going to die. you're going to fucking die it's going to be awful" but i decided to go the sentimental route

[doublefords]

Mornin’ ya’ll! ‘Least where we’re at. We’re acceptin’ asks and answerin’ them at our normal pace! (By the way, Stanferd is asleep. Got him to sleep, finally!)

See ya’ll!

[doublefords]

*Static, and a voice continually getting cut off, before the audio clears.*

-i! Hello? Finally…

Hey! I heard you two fellows are scientists based in Gravity Falls? Have you two found anything interesting marine related? Any cool fish, or extraterrestrial jellyfish? Anything tasty?

I really admire the both of you’s work, and though I can’t pursue the profession myself, I’m always happy to be able to get into contact with scientists! Especially in such paranormal towns.

-With dearest sincerity,

🐠

OOC:

I’ve sent 2 separate asks before this, I’m SO sorry if you’ve already received those two. I’ve been having issues with my tumblr for. The entire day. but I am very excited 2 interact!!!!!

Greetings! Apologies, for the late reply. I've decided to take a short break to answer questions (Fiddleford went to sleep, unfortunately). I'm on my fourth cup of coffee!

Hmmm… fish… I’ve met a few sirens in my time! (Even dated one… that didn’t end too well). The Gobblewonker is another aquatic anomaly I’ve seen before, which I’ve logged in my second journal.

I've yet to see any other water specimens... (I don't really fancy studying with boat unless necessary). Although, I advise not to eat any paranormal marine life. They might give weird side effects!

It's rather flattering to receive such a compliment. So, I say thank you. Glad that you could take the time to talk to us (even if your line was breaking a bit!!!).

Do feel free to contact us again. Signing off,

Stanford Pines.

[ooc: btw, anon, don't worry about it! i think i've seen at least one of your asks--luckily i didnt finish answering it! thanks for interacting!]

[doublefords]

well, howdy! Stanferd an' I are gonna wind down fer the night. Answered asks will be slowed down temporarily!

[ooc: If you've sent an 'rp' ask, note that i will answer it tomorrow! don't worry :D]

[doublefords]

Greetings! Unusualoligist, Cryptologist, and Oddologist Stanford Pines sending in a call. My friend, Fiddleford, and I have been informed of your presence as of recently. We— “By ‘wem ya mean ‘youm, Standerd”— Yes. Uh. I do have a few questions about your universe and daily life.

You’ve mentioned Quick Thought, yes? It’s very interesting to me, to be honest. Does it slow down time or does it make your thoughts go in a more rapid pace (much like caffeine)? (That would be wonderful for me as of now… this project is taking a lot out of me…)

As the ‘Messenger of Gods’, what do you do daily? Send messages (wait, no… that part is obvious)? Via scrolls? Or much like a mailman?

Lastly, your wings. I see that it’s often depicted that your little… hat… has wings. Is it functional by any chance?

That is all of our— “your.”— my questions. Anything you’d like to say, Fiddleford?

“Not at all! ‘Xcept that yer singin’ is pretty good. Ya play the banjo?”

With that, Stanford Pines and Fiddleford McGucket, signing off.

[ @doublefords ]

“Why, hello there! I’d be delighted to share about my world with you two, darlings!

Quick Thought is Athena’s thing, though I do know quite a bit about it, being the one who named it and all! And Ares’ Dark Quick Thought, too. The gist of Quick Thought is that it does indeed speed up your thoughts. It can make you faster than I am, which is saying something! Dark Quick Thought does the same, but since it’s… well, Ares, it heightens your emotions. Usually, when Ares uses it, the target’s main emotion is anger, which makes them rage. I’ve seen someone sob after being pulled into Dark Quick Thought, though. That was something.

I do in fact send messages! It depends on intent. If, say, Father were to ask me to deliver a message to one of my uncles, it’d be most likely verbal. Though, Persephone writes a lot of letters to Uncle Hades during the summer and spring. They appear in this bag I have handy, and I deliver them to where the recipient is! Of course, I do have other jobs. Ferrying souls to the Underworld, for one! I’m usually very busy, but today, I had to move much faster after my dear friend Aeolus told me what happened with Odysseus and Uncle Posei. Ferrying five hundred plus souls takes a long time, y’know!

And my winged cap? It’s one pair of three, darling. And they’re all connected to my body, by the way! Some mortals just can’t comprehend it, haha. I have these, the ones associated with my sandals, and the biggest pair on my back! All three pairs work.

And thank you for the compliment on my singing! I don’t play the banjo, haha. I’m more a fan of lyres myself!

Nice to meet you, Stanford and Fiddleford! I’ll be sure to call back!”

[doublefords]

are space aliens real?

What kind of question is that? Of course they are real! I even have evidence that they existed right here in Gravity Falls. They may be extinct now, but they most certainly were real! (There’re probably way more out in space!)

From what Stanferd has told me, yes. Nothin’ ain’t impossible nowadays! Whew! (By the way, Stanferd, I’ve finished the second half of the blueprint, whaddya think?)

(I’ll check it over afterwards, F). If you’d like to learn more, I’d be more than happy to share more information about my finding, Anon!

[doublefords]

AH, LOOK AT THIS, PICKLE! SOME DISTINGUISHED SCIENCE GENTLEMEN! EXCUSE OUR INTRUSION, BUT WHAT ARE YOU FINE MEN RESEARCHING OUT HERE IN THE FOREST? IF IT IS ANOMALIES, WE AND PICKLE WOULD BE HAPPY TO BE STUDIED!

-THE MOSS

oh hey, science guys! neat. what're you doing all the way out here? it's pretty boring around these woods. y'know, except for weird things like moss. moss is pretty damn weird. i mean, i suppose i am too, considering i'm their host and all, but y'know. slightly less weird than the living moss. so is that what you're here for?

-pickle

Apologies for the late response! It seems that we were caught up with our projects and didn’t see your phone call. Coincidentally enough about moss… we did talk about a moss creature with our other caller not too long ago!

And I’m happy you asked! I’m here in Gravity Falls to study various anomalies which seemed to be huddled around this area/town due to a “weirdness magnet” (as I like to call it). Currently, Fiddleford is assisting in a somewhat… confidential project.

Although, I’m certainly intrigued by you and Pickle. “The Moss”, your name was? Well, I’d Be more than willing to study your kind! It’s incredibly fascinating to meet more anomalies (either than gnomes…) cIrculating Gravity Falls.

We talkin’ ‘bout new critters, Stanferd?

Oh! Yes, yes. We just got another call from what seems to be… moss creatures of some kind? They said they were more than happy to be examined and studied. I’m more than wiLling to take up on that offer, don’t you think, F?

Huh! Color me stoked! Wonder if they’re r’lated ta ‘lil Molly!

That’s what I wondered too. Or perhaps it’s just a coincidence that both a mosshog and the moss creatures appeared at the same time.

Now that I think of it, I do have a few questions to ask… Let’s see… [rustling of paper…] I just wrote them down…

Ha! Tell me, what did you mean by ‘their host’? Is moss more like a pet or a parasite? And ‘living moss’…? Do you guys live around here? Do you typically stay in more moist areas of the forest? Shallower or deeper parts of the forest? Tell me—

A’right, this is gettin’ as long as it is. I’d best let the call end ‘ere. Call us back if ya have a response to all of Stanferd’s questions! (Whew! The phone bill’s gonna sky rocket, Ford!”

[doublefords]

how goes the science, science boys

Greetings! Stanford Pines speaking. Our first ask (thank you)!

Our science is going wonderful! Currently, we’ve made significant progress on our most recent project—and even if it takes up the most time, it doesn’t stop us from making new discoveries every day! The most recent (and particularly interesting) find is a little hedgehog-like creature which I’ve named the ‘Mosshog’ (due to it’s rounded spikes—which don’t actually hurt—and the prominent moss that it has on it’s little body).

The one we’ve decided to keep is a female and she’s been the most friendly one out of all of the other mosshogs (I think the rest are male…)! She’s a little cranky, sure, but she makes a perfect lap pet when I’m journaling.

Woo-wee! Thank ya for yer ask, Anon! (Hi Stanferd! Was workin’ on checking on them calculations… I checked it again! Wonderful, Fiddleford! You can finish this one up. A’righty!)

An-i-ways, Stanferd ‘ere said that the lil critter is attached to us for sum reason. He ain’t sure why and thought it was sum strange reason… but I’ve had my fair time of bein’ in the farm! That lil bushhog (That was what he called it, right?) is jus’ naturally more friendly with the opposite gender. Ehhh, I’ve had two female dogs and they didn’t really like my three other sisters, jus’ me and my brother (my brother and I, Fiddleford).

Whelp, anyways, thanks fer checkin’ in with us, Anon! We hope ya’ll have a good day pa-too!

[doublefords]

INTRODUCTIONS! [OOC/Moderator under the cut, please read :D]

"Hello? Stanford Pines- an' Fiddleford McGucket speakin'!"

Greetings! I am Stanford Pines, Unusualologist and researcher here in Gravity Falls, Oregon. I'll usually be answering the... 'asks' (is that what the two kids said?) through this… magical telephone that lets us interact with the world… but...

I'm right here too if ya'll wanna talk ta me as well!

Yes. Fiddleford McGucket, my partner in my projects here in Gravity Falls, is also here to talk if you wish.

I'm particularly aware that many of you are interested in the weirdness and creatures lurking around here in Gravity Falls as it is a hotspot for anomalies! I am very interested (and somewhat enthusiastic) to answer all of your questions so please ask away. I'll be sure to answer with the best of my ability! Anything you want to say, Fiddleford?

No, I think ya said everythin' loud and clear, Stanford. Although, holdin' our horses here, didn'tthe one with the long hair an' a pig said somethin' bout setting rules on the 'blog'?

Oh! Right... (I'm pretty sure that girl's name was 'Mabel', no?) It's good to set a good boundary and criteria for questions to be submitted. Would you like to say anything about the first few rules, F?

Don't mind if I do! Wooo-wee! A'right, let's see...

Keep yer questions appropriate, please! I doubt Stanford and I wanna see anythin' bout them scandalous things around here. If I recall correctly, the boy with the Pinetree hat said that people can be 'creepy' around the internet.

Any questions 'bout formulas and such are closed off! Could be used for weapons of destruction (like a toilet that shoots bullets, or a washin' machine that is a machine gun). Wouldn't want that to happen! And no, we will not help you with your... homework. Learning is all about optimizing the mind and understanding how to do it through trial and error!

Lastly, we're open to all people! We're excited ta answer ya'lls asks and such, so don't be a stranger ta the little telephone (can they see me winking, Stanford?). I agree with that as well (no, Fiddleford. As you said, this is a telephone). As said before, "Ask and you shall receive".

All in all, we hope to see you soon, friend. Ask away! (We'll see you soon!)

[OOC: Moderator/OOC introductions below, please read!]

Hello! My main blog is @sorbetjellyisathing. This is just a little roleplay blog since I enjoy these two goobers!

Do note that I am a MINOR. So any asks having to do with sexual content will be blocked and deleted immediately. I ask that you keep it as "friendly" as you can :D

IMPORTANT!!

The timeline WILL move! Every question asked, answer, action, etc. WILL CHANGE the timeline! So have fun with that.

Unfortunately, this is NOT a Fi*dauthor ship blog. This is just these two goobers being research partners! I do enjoy the ship (alongside F*ddlestan which I prefer a bit more), though. Find more on my main blog :D

Mentions of "B*llford" will not be answered. I do not like the ship and I'm incredibly uncomfortable with it.

As my own summer's coming to a close, I'd thought I'd let ya'll know that chances are that questions may become less frequently answered. My hyperfixations are incredibly unpredictable! But I will do my best to dedicate time to answering all of ya'lls asks.

Answered asks tags will be in, "Gopher Road’s Telephone". Any time it's out of character it will be, "SorbetInvasion!"

Bill Cipher will answer with "Cipher Road’s Telephone!”

Sign-offs are always welcome. :D

Anyways, enjoy and ask away! I hope to see you soon :3
