crosspost to dear player!

[terci]

Huh. There sure are a lot of new players around, aren't there?

... You don't think that has anything to do with the "apocalypse" or whatever everyone is talking about, do you? But, like, there can't really be an apocalypse happening in Gravity Falls... I mean, seriously? There's been tons of weird and dangerous stuff happening, sure, but it's not like the world's gonna end! Everyone's just paranoid!

[Says the poster-child for paranoid people.]

...fair point. Counter point: If the end of the world really was nigh, I would've read it in the journal or somewhere else! Something like that would've been foreseen and put in texts or something... Whatever, you get the point!

The world's not gonna end. Everyone needs to just calm down, and think about this rationally! [Do you really believe what you're saying Dipper, or do you just WANT to believe what you're saying...]

...There are people seriously saying that the world's about to end?

[Sure, she may have dealt with miniature golf ball creatures and a ghost, but that doesn't necessarily make her inclined to believe every supernatural thing.]

[terci]

Yeah. It's dumb, right? Like, what's going to make the world end? Zombies? Been there, done that! [There's a bit of nervousness in his voice as he speaks, though he's trying to seem as confident as ever.]

[partycrown]

[She hides her smile behind her hand, but it doesn't suppress her amused laugh.]

Or maybe it's another ghost who's come back for retribution after one hundred-and-fifty years.

[terci]

Pshhhh! [He smugly waves a hand dismissively.]

You saw how I dealt with that lumberjack! Sort of. If it's another ghost, he'll be running back to whatever underworld he came from after I'm done with him!

[donotsummon]

Hey Pine Tree, pop quiz! What's the actual definition of the word "apocalypse"?

[terci]

[Spoken with a lot of caution and hesitance:]

...the final destruction of the world.

[Suddenly Bill turns red as he does when he's angry, along with a loud BZZZZT! sound, like a buzzer.]

WRONG!

2/2

[donotsummon]

[Returning to his usual yellow, the cyclopic triangle snaps his fingers, causing a dictionary (or at least the illusion of one) to appear floating beside him. The book opens while Bill's top hat changes and becomes a scholarly cap. A metal pointer (the kind teachers use) also appears in his hand, which he uses to point to the open dictionary page.]

Apocalypse! Noun! A prophetic revelation, any revelation or prophecy, a prophetic disclosure or revelation! An event of great importance!

[terci]

Ugh, this prophecy stuff again... [He sighs, and folds his arms across his chest.]

Look, man, you can talk all you want about apocalypses and prophecies and whatever, but it's not gonna happen. Not while I'm around! I've stopped you twice now, and I'll stop you again! I'll stop you over and over, until you finally leave the world alone!

[kindaruledatit]

Uh, Dipper? You guys battled a dream demon inside of Stan's head once. I don't think the apocalypse happening is as far fetched as you think it is.

[Insert Wendy, for logical assumptions.]

[terci]

Yeah, but he's not nearly as bad as everyone says he is, and they're all saying he'll be the cause of the world ending.. so I doubt anything actually is going to happen. At least, anything that bad, anyway. [Thank you based god Wendy]

[kindaruledatit]

Who knows, maybe it's like a metaphorical thing. Like how you always say your life is over except it's not?

[terci]

So it's like... you're saying all this talk about apocalypses and "the darkness is coming" or whatever is just.. to freak us out?

[pavlovsdad]

Someone hasn't invested in a panic room.

[Its funny because he's going to destroy any financial future for your entire family.]

[terci]

I don't need a panic room. Unlike you, I'm able to actually face problems and y'know, not hire someone else to get rid of them for me. [Their financial future is dictated by a criminal, there's not much left going for it anyway.]

[pavlovsdad]

[His eyes narrow. Treading on thin ice, Dipper.]

Don't confuse strategy with cowardice, boy, simply because I outwitted you. [Even though it totally was cowardice shut up.]

[terci]

No, I'm.. pretty sure that was cowardice, Mr. Northwest. [Look if he addresses you formally will it make anything better]

[abnormalsoon]

Boy Pine Tree, I know jumping to conclusions is kind of your schtick but you've really taken a running leap on this one.

Of course the world isn't going to end! Yours just is!

[terci]

[Oh god another one]

No world is going to end, Bill. And if you think I'll let you get away with whatever you're planning, you'd better think again!

[ineptus]

Sounds like a bunch of-- [Mabel picks up Waddles, wiggling him a little.] --hogwash to me! [Okay you can go now pig.]

I bet people are just worrying over nothing because people like to worry! I don't believe it. And even if it was in text or whatever, it'd have to be some pretty convincing text to make me believe in it!

[terci]

Okay Mabel, not one of your stronger puns. [But he gives her a grin.]

I know, right? I mean come on people! I know I'm into conspiracies and stuff but this is a little much.

[ineptus]

Really? I thought it was pretty puntas okay yeah I'm not finishing that one.

Exactly! Even if it were the end of the world? Well lucky for the world they've got the best pair of mystery solvers and monster fighters around! There's no way we'd let anything happen!

We would have heard about it long before anyone else too. So there you have it folks! "Apocalypse"? Not happening!

helloooo~

[yourbestestgif]

Somebody is in denial~

It is NOT an attractive quality to have.

COLLECTS ALL THE GRAVITY FALLS MUSES... hello friend ovo

[terci]

Like you're one to speak about being in denial!

whoo would treat her as a friend xD

[yourbestestgif]

I don't deny!

I just hope enough until that hope becomes true ♥~
