new character debut >:] A joint effort with @igneouskit who came up with the physical description, Kinoga was one of Trito's closest friends when they were in the military, last presumed dead after accepting being a test subject for Kamabo, that Trito runs into on the surface many years later, much to both of their surprises

Concepts for Gravity Falls "Next Summer" ideas if I forced myself to let conflict exist in their lives post-canon (<- I'm bad at this)
Mabel gets a new anomaly-boyfriend and spends a significant amount of time keeping him a secret, because everyone in her family is overprotective and none of them have a good sense of boundaries anymore. ("ESPECIALLY you, Grunkles")
Related: Stan and Ford have gotten so good at enabling each other's chaos that Dipper feels the need to yell at them at some point. Jury's out on whether this resolves the situation or spirals into them Proving Themselves to the kids.
Very stupid issue where Stan and Dipper independently realize they've gotten in a pattern of only spending one-on-one time with their OTHER twins, but each assumes this means the other person doesn't want to spend time with them and just gets mopey and standoffish instead of fixing the problem. Ford and Mabel have to stage an intervention.
It's Father's Day! Time for Soos and Stan to tiptoe around their insecurities because they both have new family now and someone here is going to have to decide if that changes their relationship. (Spoiler: it does not, obviously.)
New and Reformed Gideon tries to insert himself into Ford and Dipper's nerd adventures and form a trio. He says his motives are pure, but everyone is very uncomfortable about this.
Pacifica is sort of half-friends with Candy and Grenda, and Mabel has to decide whether to try and fully incorporate her into their dynamic or not. (Pacifica's not even sure which she wants, which complicates things.)
Half the summer is spent prepping for Soos and Melody's wedding and this gives EVERYONE recurring stress.
Not an interpersonal problems, but: The basement turns out to be SLIGHTLY haunted by the miasma of Stan and Ford's accumulated Bad Feelings experienced down there. The family has to brainstorm methods for banishing Vibes.
