My Potential Projects 2: “Teens” (Concept Art Included!)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
In Gravity Falls, Oregon, there live six ordinary teenagers: Wendy, Lee, Nate, Thompson, Tambry and Robbie. During their summer break, this group of friends deals with, in a nutshell, firsts. First jobs, first crushes and a first taste of freedom... Of course, not every new experience is a positive one. Phone-addicted and gothic Tambry, for instance, despises the fact that she is obligated to have a perpetually smiley attitude and wear a very hot owl costume when working at Hoo-Ha Owl’s Pizzamatronic Jamboree. Wendy, on the other hand, bores out working as a cashier in the tourist trap “The Mystery Shack” and as a lifeguard in the community pool. Still, she doesn’t hesitate to rebel against the rules set by her bosses Mr. Pines and Mr. Poolcheck along with her working peers, which, by the way, include a nerdy tween boy named Dipper that has his eyes set on her. Robbie, the emo of the team, may tolerate his job at the burger stand of the Gravity Falls mall, but is completely obsesse with Wendy and really wants her to be his girlfriend. Now, although there’s a considerable ammount of negative experiences, coward Thompson loves his position as the Royal Ragtime Theater manager. That way, he can switch the tables with ushers Lee and Nate by using his authority to force them to clean the toilets and seats. His off-the-clock status as the group’s living “Kick Me” sign really tires him out in secret!
Tumblr media
These friends may live a generic teenage live, but the supernatural always lurks in the shadows ready to surprise them when they least expect it. As Gravity Falls is a town where this stuff is common, the group helping Lee practice for his upcoming driving test can become a wild escapade from a ferocious monster! Similarly, things like haunted convenience stores and gravity mishaps aren’t left out! 
Tumblr media
However, no matter what happens to them and in the town, the gang attempts to make the good times last on one of their very few summers left. It’s a constant balance between minimum wages and maximum scares!
Tumblr media
SAMPLE EPISODE 1: Wendy wants to watch a movie. However, Thompson bans her from the local theater because she entered with food. Wendy thinks that him, of course, knows this mean war! She’ll try various ways to enter the theater avoiding his iron-fist. The clock is ticking in this battle of wits and trickery!
SAMPLE EPISODE 2: The whole gang, along with Wendy’s working peers Dipper and Mabel, explore an abandoned convenience store. They have usual teenage fun in there, which may or may not end up with them in one ghost of an unexciting adventure.
SE3: Tambry, so as to catch a break from all the Hoo-Ha hubbub, babysits the town-famous L’il Gideon. She soon realizes it may not have been a good idea to do so, because things with that little boy will definitely not be down to earth!
SE4: Tambry holds a Summerween party at her house while her parents are out. Her five friends, along with the rest of the Gravity Falls High School students, join in, not knowing a simple bottle-spinning game with unleash an evil entity that will force them into eating cursed lollipop sticks.
SE5: Lee has trouble practicing for his upcoming driving test, so he calls upon the rest of the gang for help. They all hop aboard the Thompson family van and let Lee at the wheel in order to guide him on a drive through the forest. Soon, however, a horde of gnomes starts chasing them, and only Lee’s parallel parking skills can save the day!
SE6: The Gravity Falls Community Pool is looking for a new assistant lifeguard. Still, Wendy is fed up with having to stay in the community pool after her usual shift in order to try out people. Thus, when Dipper suggests he can be the lifeguard, Wendy admits him on the spot. The two have fun breaking the rules, but Mr. Poolcheck has other ideas regarding fun...
Tumblr media
SE7: Robbie decides to record a song dedicated to Wendy so as to make her fall in love with him. To do so, he’ll have to get help from some unusual creatures.
SE8: Tambry and Robbie start dating without any warning, which surprises the rest of the teens...for worse.
SE9: It’s another usual day at the town, until suddenly (and literally) gravity starts falling. The gang must do all they can in order to survive all the floating!
SE10: Inspired by Jack Kerouac’s classic “On the Road”, Wendy convinces the gang, along with her working peers, to do some hitch hike. She, secretly, wants to stay away from her father after a fight they got into. But then, a mysterious truck driver captures the group and takes them to a haunted diner in order to keep them prisoners.
SE11: Both Wendy’s stress towards life in general and Tambry’s “monthly pain” get the best of them. So much so that Wendy gains weather powers and Tambry turns into an overreacting ugly creature that runs loose! The boys must team up with Wendy’s working peers in order to stop the situation.
SE12 (pre-series finale): School is right around the corner, for registration at Gravity Falls High has just started. The whole gang is devasted at this, but their devastation turns into panic as strange creatures invade the town and things become much, much weirder than usual.
SE13 (SERIES FINALE): The Weirdmageddon has been stopped by Robbie, Wendy and the Mystery Shack gang. However, before Dipper and Mabel leave Gravity Falls, Wendy decides to prepare a surprise that will require her and the teenage gang to move all through the town in one last summer adventure together.

Gravity Falls - The Matchmabel - Chapter VI
Chapter VI: The Cafe De La Mabel
The morning sun shone down on Greasy’s Diner, and Mabel was already hard at work.
Lazy Susan hadn’t taken too much convincing to allow them to use the place - Stan had had to promise another date, but a single awkward evening was a fair price to pay for Dipper’s happiness. Inside the diner, the gang was now setting up - tables were being moved, decorations were being hung, and even lighting had to be set up.
Mabel walked through the diner, hands behind her back, inspecting the process. Soos and Melody were hanging pink decorative bunting from the roof, while Candy and Grenda had moved one of the tables to the centre of the room, ready to be set up for the date. Mabel walked over to them, putting her hands on her hips.
“How many forks are we gonna need?” she asked.
“Well, this is fine dining,” mused Grenda. “I think twelve each.”
“Thirteen,” suggested Candy. “Just to be safe.”
“Does Marius know?” asked Mabel. “You could ask him!”
“Oh! Of course!” Grenda pulled out her phone. “Give me a sec…”
She walked off.
“We’re gonna need some pictures on the walls,” said Mabel, scratching her chin. “Pictures of romantic places - like Paris, and Venice, and Cleveland.”
“Cleveland?” Candy tilted her head.
“Oh, and we’ll need flowers!” added Mabel. “Does anyone sell them around here?”
“Ooh!” Soos called down from his ladder - he was attaching a banner to the front door. “Sprott sells wildflowers!”
“Can’t we just pick our own?” Mabel asked. “I mean, we are in the mountains…”
“Sprott’s are premium, dude.”
“What makes them premium?”
Soos and Melody exchanged looks.
“Because they say premium on the box?” shrugged Melody.
“That’s how it works in video games,” Soos agreed.
“Can’t argue with that logic,” nodded Mabel. “Candy, finish setting the table and then start on the sound system! I’ll be right back!”
She walked out the front door, finding Stan outside. They had managed to rent him a black tuxedo and bowtie, and for some reason they’d also decided he needed a fake moustache, which he was fitting under his lip now.
“Never thought I’d need one of these babies again,” he muttered to himself.
“Grunkle Stan my man!” exclaimed Mabel, snapping her fingers as she walked over to him. “Looking good!”
“Thanks,” replied Stan. “But when we get them together, I’m using that sweet Northwest money to buy a butler. I think I’ll call him…”
He pondered for a second.
“...eh, I dunno, just something not French.”
Mabel thought for a moment.
“Hans.”
“Hans it is!”
“Anyway, I’ve gotta go find some flowers,” said Mabel. “Practice your people-serving skills while I’m gone!”
She ran off.
“I promise nothing!” Stan called after her.
-----
Sprott’s farm was a short walk from the centre of town, and the combination of the sun and the breeze made it a pleasant little stroll. Mabel hummed as she walked along, a spring in her step as she approached her destination.
Shortly before she reached the gate, however, she passed a small newspaper stand by the side of the road. Her brow rose when she saw the awkward-looking figure sitting behind it.
“Thompson?”
She walked over.
“Yeah,” replied Thompson. “I’ve been working here since they fired me from the movie theatre.”
“You got fired?”
“Yeah.�� Thompson looked at his feet. “Abuse of power.”
Mabel blinked.
“Yeah, that tracks,” she replied. “So, they got’cha workin’ for the Gossiper, huh?”
“I wish!” Thompson ran a hand through his head. “I couldn’t even get a job at the High School Newspaper. This is the Daily Faller.”
“The Daily Faller?” Mabel picked up a copy. “Hmm… ‘Gnomes Ate My Father?’ ‘Mayor Tyler’s Secret Bone Farm?’ ‘Is Old Man McGucket a Cannibal?’”
“It’s Mr. Northwest’s new tabloid,” sighed Thompson. “They pay a buck an hour but it’s the only job I can get!”
“Ooh, local gossip on page seven!” Mabel turned the pages.
“Please buy one, if I move enough I might get a pay raise,” pleaded Thompson. “I need that extra buck an hour, they’re gonna take my van…”
“What?!”
Mabel’s eyes widened as she read the little column in the paper.
“Local Bad Boy Robbie Valentino has ditched his girlfriend to focus on his career?” she exclaimed. “He’s maintaining a steady affair with his bassist? That can’t be right, I set them up!”
“Oh yeah, they broke up a week ago,” said Thompson. “I think Wendy said if she ever saw Robbie again, she’d annihilate him. I still hang out with him though, I really need friends right now…”
“But… but even after the love potion wore off, they were happy!” Mabel clutched her head. “It was a good match!”
“The love what now?” asked Thompson.
“I… I have to pull this off, Thompson!” exclaimed Mabel. “My reputation as a matchmaker is at stake!”
She sprinted off, still holding the paper.
“Wait, no, bring it back!” called Thompson. “You didn’t pay for…”
He sighed and sat down.
“What has my life become?” he muttered.
-----
The late afternoon sun lit Greasy’s Diner in a golden light, the wooden surface appearing a brilliant rusty red. Mabel had gathered everyone outside, and was pacing up and down in front of them like an officer reviewing her troops.
“Alright, troopers!” she declared. “Dipper and Pacifica will be here at exactly six o’clock. Run me through what will happen!”
She pointed to Stan.
“Mabel, haven’t we already been through…”
“RUN ME THROUGH!”
Stan jumped.
“Alright, alright!” He rubbed his head. “I take them in and get them seated, setting them up with water.”
“And what kind of water?”
“Sparkling,” replied Stan. “Because it’s… fancier?”
“Exactly.” Mabel snapped her fingers. “Candy, what music do you play?”
“Romantic,” replied Candy, snapping to attention. “But not too romantic. 80s love songs, Billy Joel, Paul McCartney…”
“Great!” Mabel turned to Soos. “Soos, what’s our first course?”
“Gazpacho Soup,” replied Soos. “Nothing can possibly go wrong with gazpacho soup!”
“And?”
“Breadsticks.” Soos narrowed his eyes. “All the breadsticks.”
“Good,” said Mabel. “After the soup comes out, Stan refills the drinks. Then we get the main course, which is…”
“Chicken and bean enchiladas,” replied Abuelita. “And rice on the side.”
Mabel blinked.
“I thought we were gonna go fancier…”
“No,” said Abeulita. “My kitchen, my rules.”
There was a long silence.
“Ooookay then,” said Mabel. “Once they’re finished eating, we come to the main event - the big romantic dance! Grenda?”
“We want total darkness except for the spotlight and the strategically place disco balls,” said Grenda. “Plus a slight fog from the fog machine to enhance the romantic atmosphere.”
“And then…” Candy narrowed her eyes. “...we hit them with Deline Cion.”
“Dang straight!” Mabel pounded her fist into her palm. “And when they come out, I’ll have the whole town to cheer them on!”
She checked her phone.
“5.15!” she exclaimed. “Dipper should be back soon! I need to get him ready!”
She jogged over to the golf cart, which was parked nearby.
“Remember your places, people!” she called. “Tonight, we’re making love!”
She floored the gas pedal and sped off into the distance.
Candy and Grenda exchanged glances.
“She could have phrased that better,” said Grenda.
-----
Ford’s car bounced along the road towards the Mystery Shack, the trunk filled with sacks of strangeshrooms - as was a trailer that had been attached to the back. (Ford had had to run back to the Shack to get it earlier that morning.) Dipper was leaning against the window, looking out at the trees going by.
“You know what?” he said. “That was pretty fun, considering most of what we did was pulling up wild mushrooms.”
“Well, if you’ve got time tonight, we can continue the testing in my lab,” suggested Ford. “We barely scratched the surface last night, there’s hundreds more to try…”
“I’m gonna have to say no,” sighed Dipper. “I’ve really gotta catch up with this college application.”
“Why?” asked Wendy. “It’s still gonna be there tomorrow, dude.”
“Because mom wants it done by the end of the week,” replied Dipper. “So it has to been finished tomorrow night.”
“Just tell her Stan’s internet went down,” said Wendy, shrugging.
“I…”
Dipper trailed off, looking ahead. Mabel was standing in the middle of the Mystery Shack parking lot, grinning widely and holding up a nice dress jacket - the Goodwill tag was still attached. Dipper gulped and inhaled deeply.“...I suddenly have a very bad feeling about tonight.”

“reagan ridley is autistic,” I say into the mic.
The crowd boos. I begin to walk off in shame when a voice speaks and commands silence from a corner.
“They’re right,” they say. I look for the owner of the voice. There in the 2nd row is Shion Takeuchi, creator of inside job.

Took me over a week but I finally completed this, haha. I've wanted to do one of these for years, but never managed to see it all the way through (heck, I didn't even get six characters suggested to me last time, lol). Besides Fluttershy & Milly, this was my first time drawing everyone so it was a fun challenge!! I also had fun emulating the art styles and making little backgrounds for everyone too, hehe.

One of the recent conversations with Gravity Falls fans - mainly my close acquaintances - makes me think of...what would happen if the group ended up remaining scattered after The Love God instead of what we got?
The reason is...Thompson.
Tumblr media
Despite how he had been treated by the whole Wendy gang, I felt that he was desperate to have friends to be with. It was like; Them or Nothing Else to Go With.
One of my acquaintances said the latter ended up being a better choice, based on his own experience. Another said it would be depressing while agreeing on him.
Personally, I think I would rather quit groups like Wendy gangs, but I do understand him about being hesitant about leaving. Standing up alone on your own legs with nobody to help is never an easy thing - it takes a lot of courage and dares, in my opinion.

Sometimes I see sexuality or gender headcanons about characters and im just like dude im pretty sure they don't know what half those words mean
#random thoughts#'robbie valentino is panromantic demisexual' he looks like a self-described emo kid who would call me slurs in high school#yeah sure MAYBE he's those things but does he have the words for them? absolutely fucking not are you kidding me#and even if he did he would NOT use them. he's like those cishhet girls who make out with other cishet girls when they're drunk#he'd have like one homoerotic penpal througout high school and they're sending each other letters like it's the fucking victorian age#practicing calligraphy and shit (it's just cursive but even more completely illegible)#robbie DOES give off demisexual energy though. he'd just call it having taste#and he would bully people in his school who call themselves that#not like physically but emotionally. mean girl energy.#honestly the gravity falls teen friend group gives off that super emotionally abusive energy#like they talk shit about other people in their school and think they're above everyone else#except thompson he just gets like really quiet and awkward#let's be real robbie had an antagonistic relationship with a fucking twelve year old he's not thinking about gender or sexuality#he'll think about it for like five seconds before going 'that was weird let's go make flamethrowers out of old hairspray cans'#he would make fun of gender non-conforming students to distract people from the fact he's wearing eyeliner#he puts on eyeliner for the first time like 'huh. time to push this to the back of my brain for the next five years'#also robbie dyes his hair. that's canon. unrelated but i think it's funny#gravity falls#his middle name is fucking stacey???
