......❝ She’s fun. She’s spunky. She’s lovable and adorable! Lost in her own brightly colored and cheerful world, Mabel loves to socialize and be the life of the party. She paints, she knits, she draws — is there anything that Mabel can’t do? NO! Or if there IS something she can’t do, chances are Dipper can, and seeing as those two are an unstoppable duo, the world might as well be theirs! Good thing they are good guys! ❞ APPEARANCE CONT........... well kept and thoroughly bushed waist length hair, big glittery brown eyes, knobby knees, slender but average weight for her age and height. And oh BABY you best BELIEVE this girl is repping all her own work, all day, every day! Hand made sweaters, each uniquely designed, some with lights and sound, others with copious amounts of glitter. Skirts and headbands, and only the most 80’s of statement earrings! 🌠 verse 1 visage tagBACKGROUND.......... Mabel Pines was born to Mr. and Mrs. Pines on a sweltering summer day on August 31th, 1999, in Piedmont, California, just five minutes before her twin brother Dipper. What she lacked in academic excellence she made up for with her creativity and heart, making quick friends with nearly everyone she met — acting as a sort of buffer between the outside world and Dipper’s crippling social anxiety. Gravity Falls Oregon was no different; Mabel adjusted easily to summer life with her Great Uncle Stan, finding the change of pace exciting with endless possibilities — plus there were all sorts of cute boys coming through!

WADDLES THE PET PIG Ol’ fifteen pounder won at the Mystery Fair in the summer of 2012, the best and most trustworthy friend a girl could ever ask for! Waddle has GOT to be the best-est pig in the whole world! And yeah, he's still kickin'!

APPEARANCE CONT........... waist length wavy/curly hair with either well placed multi-colored extensions or occasional semi-permanent dip-dye jobs usually in the colors pink, blue, or purple, a light dusting of freckles only very noticeable in the summer / lots of sun exposure, usually winged eyeliner with lots of glittery eyeshadow. handmade cropped sweaters and cardigans, high waisted skirts/jeans/shorts, CHUNKY tennis shoes and patterned socks, funky and fun colored opaque tights, statement earrings, pine tree friendship bracelet made for her by her twin brother Dipper 🌠 Verse 2 face claimBACKGROUND..........Mabel got into art school not too far from home and her parents, but quite a few hours away from Dipper. The distance pains her, but she doesn't that that get in her way; she's got art projects to create and cute people to date! She works from home, running various online stores where she sells acrylic jewelry and custom made sweaters for a living, as well as pet clothing. Whenever Dipper is in town, though, all plan revolve around his trip - so you bet she's going ghost hunting or whatever with DipDop and his little nerd friends!

VERSES.

VERSE ONE: shooting star / " LITTLE MABEL ! "

..........WELCOME TO GRAVITY FALLS / follows show canon. Twelve year old Mabel travels up north to the sleepy town of Gravity Falls, Oregon with her twin brother Dipper to spend the summer with their Great Uncle ( or more affectionately called "Grunkle" ) Stan at his roadside tourist trap "The Mystery Shack". While Dipper was busy hammering up signs to draw in potential customers in the middle of the forest, he stumbles upon a journal hidden beneath a trap door, within which describe strange and wonderous, even fantastical things that sound like nothing but the ramblings of a madman. At first, the oddity of the town was manageable — fun, even! — but soon Dipper and Mabel both realized they were in over their heads. Conspiracies, government agents, and the all seeing eye of a dream demon watching their every move. It was all planned, far before the twins were even born, that they would participate in, create, and ultimately prevent the end of the world headed by a God of Nightmares. The promise of a little more summer was all it took for Mabel to tip the scales out of their favor, but the kindness of her family reminded her what was truly important.

VERSE TWO: meteor shower / " BIG MABEL ! "

..........I'M BEING WATCHED / 10 years after canon. She'd never admit it out loud, but California wasn't the same after that. Nothing felt the same after what happened the summer of 2012, and in a way she felt trapped in a life of mundanity. Every summer since, the Pines twins take a trip up to Gravity Falls, to tromp through the forest the same way they did when they were children, relishing in the mystery of it all. When the summer is over, Mabel returns to her little studio apartment tucked away in the city of San Francisco where she goes to art school and sells her art online for work. There's a hidden box in her closet, one that not even Dipper has laid eyes on. Inside is full of art, horrible depictions of decay and anarchy, of destruction and a multicolored kaleidoscopic view of the end of the world. In the middle of all the ruin floats a familiar shape of yellow, the same shape that haunts her every time she closes her eyes. Is it her fault? Is the mental scars Dipper sustained from Weirdmageddon all her fault?

RULES.

001. ACTIVITY
This blog will be very sporadically active, taking long hiatuses without much or any warning. I'm sure everyone in the rpc can understand it when I say muse come and goes and it can't always be prevented or predicted!
002. REPLIES
I may take a while to get back to some threads while I reply very fast to others, I may also drop threads without warning — feel free to come to me and ask me about threads, just don't be rude and don't pester me is all I ask! I format all my replies with small text and I use icons, however I am more than willing to use big text for those who need it — just ask! I’m not picky about other’s choice in formatting style, so long as it’s not so edited it becomes difficult to read.
003. FOLLOWING
personals can follow just so long as you do not reblog headcanon posts/roleplay threads. I am willing to write with minors, however in no way will I write any sort of sexual NSFW with minors. blood/gore/ injury nsfw is okay though! There is no special unfollow stipulation; you can unfollow/block me if you need, no need to tell me why. Just know that I will also follow this rule and might unfollow/block without warning.
004. TRIGGERS & NSFW.
This blog will feature many, many dark themes, as I will write and emphasize the horror of Weirdmageddon and Bill Cipher, as well as other potentially triggering subjects including; anxiety, PTSD, depression, murder, suicide, etc. I tag my posts with // ( ie. blood // ), please let me know if I miss any!
NSFW may be present on the blog, however I would like to make it clear any sexual jokes/innuendos will be directed at older verse Mabel ONLY. No exceptions.

005. SHIPPING.
VERY ANTI BILL/MABEL I LIKE SHIPPING WITH CHEMISTRY and am into the idea, though since I write Mabel as a child and an adult, different rules apply to each verse. They are as follows:
YOUNG VERSE MABEL: I am willing to platonically and even romantically (WITHIN REASON; puppy love / school yard crush sorta deal) ship Mabel with other muses in her age range (11-14) but, and this should absolutely go without saying, NO NSFW. This is final.OLDER VERSE MABEL: since Mabel is a consenting adult, ( twenty-three ) in this verse, I am willing to romantically ship Mabel with muses that are +18, but for my own comfort I will also not be writing NSFW. There can be mentions of one night stands or w/e but I am simply not comfortable writing that given the source material. You muse can flirt as much as they want, Mabel will probably flirt right back LMAO
006. ET CETERA.
🌲 THIS BLOG WILL NOT BE SPOILER FREE. I will not be tagging spoilers for Gravity Falls, so if you do not want things to be spoiled, I suggest you finish the show before following!
🌲 My portrayal of Mabel is through the lens of my own experience with mental illness and trauma — so many might consider her very headcanon based instead of canon compliant.
🌲 There will be references to my own personal OC lore in Mabel's older verse. I can answer any questions one might have! Salem MacTavish & Walker Kahlil can be found on @wickdcreatures!!
🌲 Just don’t be an asshole and we’ll get along great ! <3
