Thanks so much again to the amazing Bedravi for 81-85 and AwesomeOliver for 86 and 87.

The last 13 are actually inspired by space words in a tumblr post sapphireswimming tagged me in (I'm hoping this is what you were expecting...? If not, deal with it *puts on Gideon inspired swim goggles*)

Enjoy!


Boscaresque

Picturesque; scenically wooded


81. Utopia

Maybe it's how perfect the summer was going that should have cued the twins in on the fact it was only a dream designed to distract them from the dystopian reality.

82. Erudite

Bill was a dream demon, and no matter how good his intentions he had his limitations, bounds tying him to his home universe and preventing him from physically interacting with this world or sharing all of his knowledge for the benefit of mankind, but when the portal is done and the two worlds merge Stanley is sure that everything will be better.

83. Obedience (Iron AU)

There were times when Dipper or Star would crack at the seems, whether triggered by memories or by a particular attachment to a person who reminded them of Pacifica, Soos, Wendy, or the other survivors at Gravity Falls; and while their resistance varied in its directness or its impact on the other twin, all it took on Bill's part was an appearance threatening their sibling or a spell to make the memories fade away as quickly as a bad dream and they would inevitably be obedient again.

84. False

Dipper slammed his hands against his ears loud enough to make his head spin as he tried to tune out the nasally voice of the demon who somehow managed to simultaneously talk at him from across the room and whisper through his skin, into his ears, and captivating his mind; the boy didn't want to hear any more of his lies, even if they were spinning convincing and enticing tales that he had held up his end of the deal, left his Pine Tree a valuable clue, and was only trying to help the kid so why would he do anything but tell the truth?

85. Pariah

Gideon Gleeful had been counting the days until he could be released on parole: but then again, once the child psychic started working his magic it didn't take long to convince the wardens and the social services he had changed, yet the young boy forgot that being worshiped in Gravity Falls Maximum Security Prison didn't change the fact that the townspeople would likely never willingly trust him again.

86. Impostor (Into the Bunker)

The Shapeshifter had spent its entire existence copying the characteristics and actions of others and this time would be no different: if the young boy wanted a sign from his red haired ally, the monster just had to mirror her every movement until he could no longer tell the difference, and channel his inhuman strength and endurance until he could kill the girl himself (or better yet, get the boy to do it for him) and plant sufficient evidence that she had been the monster all along; a bluff that shouldn't be too hard to pull off once it subtly shifted its arm into the spine of one of the journal's creatures and injected a toxin to dye her human blood an unnatural green.

(AN: seriously, given that the Journal implied that the shapeshifter changes form by completely copying its victim's DNA -which leads to a whole host of questions of how it can observe DNA from a drawing or how it changes all of its cells DNA so quickly- then why when Dipper sliced it with the ax was its blood green rather than a perfect red copy as everything else was? Heh, good luck sleeping tonight! ;) )

87. Descent

Dipper thought that he was getting better, that by learning and trying he'd grow into a better person, but the demon on his shoulder cackled because that isn't how Gravity Falls, and while Shooting Stars may be able to fly across the sky, for every inch the Pine Tree grew taller so did his roots, the support he depended on and drank from, as they delved deeper into darker places with him leading the way, just like that silly Author and his bunker.

88. Aphelion the point in the orbit of a planet, asteroid, or comet at which it is farthest from the Sun

Mabel could hear the sound of Dipper's nightmare, the muffled scream as he woke up, and the scuffling sounds of his feet as he snuck out of the attic and onto the roof to watch the stars; holding back tears while faking sleep behind her closed eyes, Mabel waited for the seeds of hatred towards her Bill planted in her brother's mind every night to wither under the starlight sufficiently so she could eventually go to her twin and bring him home.

89. Astral relating to or resembling the stars (Double Dipper)

The two Paper Stars Bill found in the woods may not have the pine tree logo that gave Pine Tree his place in the wheel, but they were Pines and they still had the kid's special birthmark, so maybe it was worth keeping them around as stunt doubles for the demon's plans.

90. Caldera a large volcanic crater, especially one formed by a major eruption leading to the collapse of the mouth of the volcano

Neither Dipper nor Mabel had expected the building pressure to eventually create such a fallout, but then again they couldn't see the forces pushing and pulling each of them away from each other hoping their bond would collapse and preparing consequences not only endangering the fate of their relationship but leaving a scar on the fate of the world.

90.5 Caldera (Transcendence AU edition)

The collapse of the nightmare realm Bill had striven to create lead not only to a new feature in the history of the universe, but granted Bill his wish in a perverse way: the world had collapsed around him and granted him the power to manipulate and control all, but he had been melted in the eruption and it was Alcor that reformed.

91. Celestial positioned in or relating to the sky, or outer space as observed in astronomy

The gravity anomalies caused by the universe portal only pushed Gravity Falls towards its fate-speckled role in the sky, and while Shooting Star may be free-travelling exception, she trusted, let go, and found her place crowning the constellation beautifully.

92. Constellation a group of stars forming a recognizable pattern (Twin Swap Theory)

Stanford paused in his work painting the last constellation symbol into the sides of the portal as part of the calibration process to look at its twin tattooed on his shoulder; the thought suddenly hit him that if he couldn't get Bill to make Stanley another protection tattoo like it (there's no way the liar would sincerely help them even if Stanford begged for his brother's safety), he would give have to make sure Stanley was the one protected.

93. Cosmos the universe seen as a well-ordered whole (obligatory Neal DeGrasse Tyson shout-out from Little Gift Shop of Horrors)

Waddles the pig had never felt confined within his old life: he had always been satisfied seeking attention from Mabel, candy apples, or whatever other food he could find, but after eating that strange meal the boy-Mabel had left carelessly out on his forehead (was he as bad at eating as he was at sleeping?) in the middle of the night Waddles's horizons expanded into a new cosmos.

94. Equinox the time or date at which the sun crosses the celestial equator, when day and night are of equal length

As the summer was coming to its end and moving into the dawn of the first day of fall, Bill Cipher was ready to let the victories of the Pines level out and eventually shift in favor of his darker directions.

95. Faculae bright patches that are visible on the Sun's surface

Mabel Pine's cheery personality was visible to anyone the moment they laid eyes on her freely-exotic sweaters and conforming-braced smile.

96. Lunation the interval of a complete lunar cycle, between one Moon and the next

Bill wasn't a huge fan of repeating dramatic entrances, but he wanted to make it clear to Pine Tree that the cycle of deal-making was going to begin again, whether the boy was ready to repeat his mistakes or not.

97. Interstellar Occurring or situated between stars

It had been centuries since Bill had seen something as amusing as Gideon's advances on the female Pines twin, but it was only logical that Pentagram the false child star would fall in love and seek to trap a Shooting Star.

98. Nebula a cloud of gas and dust in outer space, visible in the night sky either as an indistinct bright patch or as a dark silhouette against other luminous matter (oh my god the number of great words in this definition could make a whole set of prompts *wink*)

"Oh Pine Tree, all you need is someone who's willing to help shape you (and I must say I know a guy who knows about shape) rather than selfishly looking after themselves: you always look so dull in comparison to Shooting Star, why don't you leave her and finally take a chance to grow and shine?"

99. Perihelion the point in the orbit of a planet, asteroid, or comet at which it is closest to the Sun (Sequel to Anhelion)

Bill could feel himself glowing with anticipation watching from his eye in the moon as Shooting Star burst through the trapdoor onto the roof and slammed her still sleep-paralyzed brother in a hug at the exact same time she had every night before for the past week; he noted that the rehearsals had not only left Shooting Star blindingly oblivious to the growing hole in the veil the eclipse provided tonight, but her building fear at the false wedge he drove between them left her gripping her brother close enough and tight enough that the demon could all too easily squeeze them both through the narrow door rather than merely snatching one away as he had originally planned.

100. Synodic relating to or involving the conjunction of stars, planets, or other celestial orbjects

The dream demon may not have unlimited cosmic power, but once his ten satellites finally aligned the celestial strings could be broken and everything will begin to change, even that.


Good news! If all goes well I should be done with all of my coursework by late this week! While I do have finals coming up the week after next, a few of my classes had earlier exams, so I'm going to have a lot more free time than I did before. That means if you want to send a lot of prompts or ask for expansions (I did my first one from this collection, Apanthropinization from the last chapter, and it's uploaded here on ffn so check it out!) I'll probably be able to start doing them.

The week after finals is also my break, so it'll be a nice chance to catch up with in-progress multichapter stories and have more fun with these. Who knows, maybe I could even release a chapter every 2-3 days if I have enough motivation and words.
