#Zephy fam

[zephrunsimperium]

Real Stanford Pines moment from my little sister today.

I was eating dinner while my sister and her friends were trying to decide what to play together. They went inside and outside and asked my mom for ideas on what to do. Finally, my sister excitedly said, "Guys! Let's do math problems!"

Needless to say, her friends were not as excited as she was. ToT

[zephys-world]

Me looking at the empty-of-forks utensil drawer: Yeah, I don't think a spoon will cut it

My mom: But a knife might

I'm feeling sad today, so FLUFFY COLE X VANIA HEADCANONS TIME!

FEAST YOUR EYES UPON MY HALFBAKED SHIPPING IDEAS!!!🤣🤣🤣 Lol. I need something to cheer me up. These or Pixane usually does the trick. Also, I wrote most of these well past my bedtime. So you KNOW it's gonna be fun! Lol! And I have a little post-series stuff thrown in too. So these headcanons aren't canon to Dragons Rising. Just wanted to make that clear. Anyhoo, let's go!

1: Vania fell first. Cole fell harder.

2: They like to go hiking and spelunking ALL the time. They're the cutest little adventure duo ever! They've discovered all sorts of secret places in Shintaro's mountains. And even some ancient artifacts and cave paintings from Shintaro's past!

3: Whenever Cole visits Shintaro, Vania just lights up. She's happiest when she has her bestie with her.❤️

4: Vania once tried to teach Cole how to use the Shintarians Flight Packs. He was absolutely terrified at first. (Falling off of stuff trauma.😭) But Vania told him to focus on something nice so he wouldn't look down too much. He ended up looking at her. Cue mutual blushing and shy downward glances.🤣

5: Cole taught her some new dance moves. (She had been brought up on more refined forms of dance. Like waltz and such.) She wanted to try something different.

6: At first, they are both quite shy around each other. Not quite sure how close to get. But eventually once they got comfortable around each other, they became very snuggly and affectionate. Especially Cole.😊🧡🧡🧡

7: Everyone in the Ninja fam were super happy when Cole finally admitted to liking Vania. He'd always been so supportive of their own relationships. So they were happy he'd finally have a partner of his own to love.

8: Vise versa, the Geckle and Munce were very excited that the Skyfolk Queen was interested in the Son of Gilly/Milly.

9: Vania loves to chatter about her interests and Cole is always happy to listen. (Chatty Extrovert x Good Listener!😁) Vania sometimes secretly worries she's talking his ear off. She doesn't know that Cole loves just hearing her voice.🥹❤️

10: Vania is very protective of Cole. She loves him dearly. Even before they started their relationship. She wasn't kidding when she said she would bring her entire army to his aid. (As seen in Crystalized.) That being said, I think she would do anything in her power to help keep him safe.

Okay, post series ones now!

11: Cole had this perfect plan for proposing to her. Except he wasn't expecting one thing. When it finally came time to propose, Vania proposed at the same time. 🤣 They laughed about it more a good ten minutes before exchanging rings.

12: Cole ends up becoming King Consort of Shintaro. At first, the Shintarian people are a bit apprehensive to the idea of having some who isn't a Shintarian on the throne. But this changes quickly after seeing what a good ruler he is. And he quickly becomes popular with the people.

13: They have three kids. Their names are Valkyrie, Zephyr, and Collette. AKA Cole Jr.✨ More on that later.

14: Val and Zephie here are twins. But, they're aren't identical twins. Val looks more human and is the spitting image of Lilly. Except with streaks of gold in her black hair. Meanwhile, Zephyr looks more like a Shintarian. And he has the opposite. Gold hair with black streaks.

15: Cole was unbelievably excited about finally becoming a father. He'd always wanted kids of his own. When Val and Zephyr were born, he actually cried when he got to hold them. He couldn't believe him and Vania could make something so beautiful.

16: Collette is the baby of the family. She's adorable and definitely a daddy's girl. Also, this happened;👉

Jay: Hey Cole! I guess you missed out on naming one of your kids Cole Jr again, huh?

Cole: *smirks* Oh? Meet your niece, Collette.

Jay: A- *Jay EXE. has stopped*

Cole: *Dabs in victory*

Kai: Son of a gun. He did it.

And FINALLY, this funky quick doodle I did of them. It's kinda "Meh" but I tried.😅 (Vania is a nightmare for me to draw. Lol.)

On a side note, I'll probably do something like this for each of my favorite Ninjago ships. That should be fun!

(Tagging @only-lonely-stars because I know she like these two. Hope you don't mind!)

|| Triple M ||

Triple Threat, Triple Treat.

Emiliano | Miano 🫚🪴❤️‍🔥

:: "silent killer" type — is an absolute machine in his full iguana form; everything is augmented, and his vocal chords are reverted to his reptilian genes the most, so he literally... can't. verbally. when fully shifted. just churrs, coos, screeches, hisses, growls, etc.

:: can communicate with his reptilian brethren just fine tho!! however - he feels bad when he can't talk to zephie when like this, so he just showcases his affection tenfold and speaks a lot with his eyes~

:: fastest, strongest swimmer out of the three.

:: the most.... animalistic? in a sense? he's the most in touch with the iguana aspect of himself; mondo is the most humane, as in he doesn't really change outside of his fully shifted form than in; and mona is right there in the middle.

:: really likes nomming on raw fishes and brings the fam trinkets from deep below in the sea :'))

:: sings songs of the sea, outside the sea. has a beautiful singing voice when he's fully shifted as human and despite not having the same voice when he's full iguana, he still has that beautiful voice. think of a whale song. he sings to the deep-sea creatures and it creates a very calm, serene atmosphere.

:: has a soft heart - doesn't like hunting much, nor confrontation. but when triggered, he's absolutely ruthless. he may be gentle and loving by nature, but it's because he chooses to be.

:: whereas deedo is the most territorial, miano is the most protective. the main man because once you're in his circle, he protects and looks out for you as his own.

:: malewife material 100%

Mondo Gecko | Mondo // Mondie // "Deedo" 🃏💯

:: braids down and out when full geckuana! (palette change once more~)

:: eyes change color in full gecko shift; has the sharpest eyesight out of Triple M.

:: embodiment of the knife cat meme. big chaotic energy.

:: got his two side braids from Mikey — calls them his "mangorine strands" or "orange luck" // just pretend they were orange the whole time lmaoaoao

:: the most amicable, but also the most territorial. do with that what you will.

:: charming, suave, and savvy. the "Face Man" of Triple M; but unlike Leo, he's not as emotionally constipated and has healthy coping outlets. if anything, he's a lot like Mikey in the way that he's not afraid to showcase his true emotions and knows the importance of it!! (another reason they get along so well~) he has such a good grasp on his emotions that he can manipulate them in his favor and is so convincing that it manipulates others. was born for this role, tbh.

:: him and miano race in the water a lot; he runs on top, miano slices through underneath.

:: the smugness in which this man had when zephie's mutated form ended up being a FELLOW GECKO was atrocious. bro was on demon timing 100%

miano snarled and snapped at him a few times, but he milked the opportunity for all it was worth. used it to "steal zeph away" multiple times. miano was not amused. but he was actually a bro and took care of zeph very well to adjust to her new mutated state!! :'')) bc he's a bro.

at the end of it all, mondo is definitely a true bro.

((he spoils the FRICK out of the zephlame kids and loves them all equally, which is soso much, but pocky deffo has a soft place in his heart.

:: was absolute BROS with Beeps like they ALWAYS THREW DOWN that was his MAN that was his HOMEBOY — was absolutely crushed when momo and he broke up & even more so when he had to keep up a brash front bc hello . cousin solidarity?? that's his big sisi (but mona knows how compatible they are and got tired of deedo's mopin. he got the green light and they're still the besties ever dw)

:: teases zephyr a lot but really admires her as a new sister, was territorial already when they were introduced; if miano has to leave zeph on her own in a vulnerable state for any reason, which are very few and very far in-between, whatsoever it may be, deedo is the first person (aside from mona ofc) he looks to.

:: very mature and polite with tiara tho. he knows not to pull no bluster w her lollll - he's like a cheeky son tbh

:: when he first met Mikey, he fell head-over-heels....... literally. he was so awestruck that he tripped on his face and got a bloody nose. miano and momo laughed at his for WEEKS afterwards but HE'S THE ONE who got ✨PAMPERED✨ and WORRIED OVER by the CUTE ORANGE DRAGURTLE so WHO'S THE REAL WINNER HERE YOU MUSSEL SUCKERS??

:: is strangely enough, very good at connecting with the 'big, burly' mutants. he's very protective of raph even tho they probs took the longest to get close. once they did, it's a very lovely bond to see. the bromance is real. thinks him and mona are cute (tho he'd never outwardly admit it)

:: the most gen z out of triple m. he ain't called "the ace" or "the wildcard" for no reason 💥💥💥

:: cried when he found out zephie was preggers. is definitely the wine aunt. (he adores kids can u tell)

:: has fist-fought with Leo at least thrice by now, completely unexplained and unprovoked. they're the bestest, cattiest frenemies ever. they are both "don't even breathe in my general direction" and "I'll help u hide the body bro say no more".

:: very tech-savvy!! his ideas singlehandedly supplemented the underwater network back in their royal home in the Galapagos.

:: crafted a mating/proposal necklace for mikey. it's resting in a beautiful crested seashell in the confines of his closet back home. he's deciding when would be the best time to give it to him.

Mona Lisa | Mona 🔮🌷🌸

:: very lively and expressive when full iguana shift!! her ears have the tendency to wiggle a lot and she coos most often! <33

:: while the sweetest in mannerisms, the most vicious when it comes to calls for violence/hunting. she has claws and teeth - she can and will use them.

:: has the most connections to marine life! mondo may have the business connections to the big guys (which are more reminiscent of shady mafia relationships now that we think about it), mona has friendships all over. it's almost scary.

:: her hair stays the most similar in and out of full iguana !! dunno why. it's just fitting.

:: has the loudest 'siren screech'; they can all do it, with miano's being the most forceful (think sonic waves) and mondo's being the most bass-heavy (bro can deffo scare the whales /lhj), but mona's is most likely the most powerful in terms of..... everything, really.

:: loves to steal zephie from miano while they're on their underwater adventures and swim fast and far until main man can catch them (they employ mondie to hold him back by the BODY so when he comes rocketing along, there's always a disheveled deedo barely hanging off his back/waist) (zephie's in on it too and giggles along, always, curled up around her beloved sister-in-law as she watches her nigh feral fiance in awe)

:: scavenges for all the mystic underwater mushrooms tiara wants/needs!! ; she's besties with all the deep-sea mutant underground circles and they usually give them happily~ if not, well.... mona has some very persuasive tactics, should she have to resort to such. <3

Grim darlin, you're not gonna believe what I've been doing the past few days and over the next 5 weeks! I've been chosen (and have been for the last couple days) been posing for an advanced painting class as a model! In excited because since, well, being a little on the larger side for a lady, I'm not used to seeing bigger ladies portrayed in art as beautiful and I'm just happy they wanted me for their class -Zephie

“Oh, th-th-th-that’s just swell!! I’m n-n-n-not sure what that means, b-b-b-but I’m happy for you!!”

[zephrunsimperium]

My younger sister (who is ten) said “I’m not angry at you, I’m just hurting,” and I’m sitting here observing like bro you just did better at communicating than the Stan twins did ever ever ever.

[zephrunsimperium]

Happy birthday to fandom darlings Stanley and Stanford Pines!!!!

To celebrate the anniversary, my siblings and I partied hard; it’s what the twins would want, I’m sure.

We bought jellybeans (I told my siblings, “first one to find the jellybeans gets a hug from Ford!” I found them first and my 7 year old sister hugged me in Ford’s place)

My siblings worked on a poster (you can see some of it in the pictures below)

We had Gravity Falls on in the background for most of the day (my siblings have watched the Weirdmageddon episodes an ungodly amount of times)

I made a shrimp chowder for dinner (because I wanted something seafood and shrimp is the only thing from the sea I can stomach)

We invited a handful of fellow GF fans to share my Journal 3 berry pie! (It has edible glitter!)

I haven’t been part of this fandom for very long, but it’s had an absolutely indelible impact on me, in great part due to the other incredible fans I’ve befriended recently. All the love for every one of you, artists and fic writers and anyone who’s been impacted by the story that brings us together.

Y’all are amazing. 💙

[zephrunsimperium]

I bought the BoB today with my sisters and oh my g o d it's unbearable I'm making lunch while my sisters are reading the book RIGHT THERE

[zephrunsimperium]

Guys…. 😭

My 5 year old brother: Zephy! I have a joke about Gravity Falls!

Me: What is it, hun?

Bro: Why did Bill cross the road?

Me: I dunno, why?

Bro: To kill his family.

[zephrunsimperium]

This is my siblings’ last week of school. We watched GF together, so I’m learning Ford’s handwriting to write them letters from him! I think I’ve gotten pretty good!

[zephrunsimperium]

So, as some of you know, I have a lot of younger siblings. One of them is just three years old and I caught a glimpse of her little hand the other day and had a thought.

I’ve talked before about how Ford’s hands don’t actually look that strange in artwork and stuff, but there is one scene in the show where they do look a little stranger than normal and that’s this scene in ATOTS.

Kiddos have SMALL hands and I can totally see little Ford just staring at it, comparing it to the hands of other people in his life and just feeling sad and sick and out of place.

[zephrunsimperium]

Y'all, my mom was at goodwill and bought a sickass tan jacket for me because it reminded her of Ford and she thought of me. She supports my Fordrobe, if you will. ToT I love my family.

(the jacket is super thin and comfy and fabulous-looking so hell yeah, I don't think I'll be taking this off any time soon)

[zephrunsimperium]

I was telling my mom about Gravity Falls this afternoon cause it’s kind of my thing right now and this happened.

Me: Ford’s existence is hinted at from the beginning. It’s actually insane how much foreshadowing there is.

Mom: You mean Ford-shadowing!

Mom jokes are underrated, y’all.

[zephrunsimperium]

I don’t regret watching Gravity Falls with my siblings, but I am ever so slightly concerned that they may be worshipping Bill Cipher. I keep finding him everywhere.

On the sidewalk.

In permanent marker on my brother’s toy dump truck.

Doodled everywhere.

Oh well. I guess we’ll be in good standing with the demon polygon if and when Weirdmageddeon comes around.

[zephrunsimperium]

Did some tattoos on my sister with washable marker and liquid eyeshadow!

[zephrunsimperium]

It's the birthday day. I came home from college to surprise my siblings so we could celebrate!

Fun fact, I know a pair of twins IRL who are turning 13 today!!!
