Hey everyone! Really there are three reasons this is so late, and they're almost exclusively my fault (I really hope no one from the internet or the future will conspire to stop me from writing these, although I fear sapphire may try both, just in the motivational direction :P).
1. I've been getting ready for classes and used to them starting, up this week, which is both why it's so late and kinda lucky for you guys cuz I get to school 2 hours early and have nothing to do but game, tumblr, and write. 2. I've been working on chapters for other stories that I'm much further behind on (this is why I only have 2 fics on a regular update schedule XD) and am hoping on updating those soon. And 3. I actually didn't realize until I was almost done that I ran out of prompts one short of the end, so it'd be awesome if I could get more for next chapter!
141-144 are from AwesomeOliver, 145-154 are from Bedravi, and 155-159 are from sapphireswimming. 160 I came up with myself with the help of my trust friend random word generator (the little brother of random sentence generator from chapter 3!).
Enjoy!
Boscaresque
Picturesque; scenically wooded
141. Scream (Sock Opera)
It was a hard life, lived in short bursts of awareness and long periods of nothingness, filled with laughter and horror, disgust and the impending doom of a deal, but there was one thing that was constant ever since he felt his body fade away under the curse of the demon's hand: his head remained, no matter how many times the curse put it back together or tear it apart, it was always there and he was always screaming.
142. Alliance
Dipper didn't trust Stan, he didn't know Stanley (despite trusting his written word in the Journals), and the tween wasn't even sure if he could trust Mabel anymore, but he knew he couldn't let Bill fulfill whatever plans he was after, and if that meant standing together as a family then that's the way it'll be.
143. Autumn
Autumn came to Gravity Falls with all the force behind its name: bringing reality to the adventures and mischief the twins had managed and crushing their fantastic dreams with the heavy force of gravity and wiping the evidence away with the colorful leaves of Fall.
144. Ominous
One would expect, living in a small town in the woods surrounded by monsters, that it would be the dark, large, and threatening creatures that people needed to stay away from (like the Manotaurs or the Multibear), but in fact the most dangerous threats were the simplest, widdlest, most human inhabitants of all.
145. Drawing (Sequel to 139 Trace)
Dipper should've been more careful not to fall asleep over his work: waking up one morning with his cheek glued to a sketch only to see the looming face of Mabel smiling evilly among a fan of glittery gel pens was worse than any nightmare Bill could throw his way.
146. Spanish (The Land Before Swine, slight Phantom Falls crossover)
If Dipper had ever doubted Soos's helpfulness on a monster hunt before, his questions were proven unfounded when they encountered a strange green wolf fluent in only Esperanto (the twins also learned that the language is somewhat mutually intelligible with Spanish... and that Soos really needs to talk to girls who aren't behind a computer screen).
147. Try (Not What He Seems)
After all that Grunkle Stan had done for his family, the effort and risk he had put into building the portal to bring his brother back, the man could hardly stand watching the gravity anomaly take Dipper's twin away rather than returning his.
148. Afraid (Dreamscapers/Little Gift Shop of Horrors)
Wandering around Grunkle Stan's mind with cuties like Xyler and Kraz had been a dream (a strange one with a bit too much old-timey black and whiteness for Mabel's comfort (she preferred color and glitter), but quite literally a dream nonetheless), until creepy triangle guy came and turned it into the worst nightmare she could imagine: Xyler and Kraz were made out of clay and only moved as if they were stop motion!
149. Lose (Bottomless Pit!)
Although no one ever really won at pinball (besides beating the high score, that definitely was a win in Soos's book), never before had the handyman really seen someone lose at the game more than the time Dipper somehow managed to get a negative score.
150. Darkness (Dreamscaperers)
Yes, the darkness Bill predicted approaching did arrive, and yes, it was a greater darkness than the Pines had ever imagined, but it was also really anticlimatic: nobody could see anything that was happening (even Bill!) and Dipper was pretty certain that Mabel had fallen asleep.
151. Golden
Bill couldn't let anyone find out his secret: only if he bought up the entire global gold supply could he potentially get away with the terrible conspiracy that the demon behind the beloved symbol on the back of US currency was not actually golden, but indeed... yellow.
152. Reverse (let's be super obvious and try a take on Reverse AU)
Dipper and Mabel had hardly realized that the portal had somehow switched directions until Bill showed up sobbing and burrowing in Mabel sweater claiming sanctuary in Sweatertown, much to the surprise and slow-growing delight of the young girl.
153. Home
Dipper hated the fact that everyone kept calling today the day he and Mabel "went home", the statement implied that there was something comforting about it, a return to normalcy, and while Piedmont was certainly less supernatural than Gravity Falls, Dipper certainly felt more at home surrounded by the magic and friendships he had discovered, and if home is where the heart is then he was more leaving for an extended vacation when he left Wendy and Stan and Soos at the Gravity Falls bus stop.
154. Control (Sock Opera)
It was strange, getting back and moving after reclaiming his body from Bill: Dipper would've expected to feel freer after his strings were cut, but his limbs had a heaviness that went beyond the throbbing flesh wounds, the weight of a lingering remembrance of not taking advantage of the ability to fly and a deep-set foreboding that the threads were still there, and that he wasn't fully in control.
155. Envelope
Mabel was always a touchy-feely person, much more than Dipper who always insisted on staying apart enough that even Awkward Sibling Hugs needed his approval, maybe that was why when she was little and sad she became so invested in knitting and hiding in Sweatertown: there at least she could pretend that the warm yarn was her brother's comforting embrace.
156. High (based on my Mom's fear of heights: aka only on man-made structures or when off the ground)
Mabel had never been scared of heights before the incident with the water tower, but she was happy to learn that her fear only applied to unstable structures like the collapsing water tower itself, and despite being a proponent of exposure therapy, Mabel staunchly refused to relive her fear until the day she unknowingly went with Dipper on a monster hunt that led them to the floating cliffs, and the combination of the yards of hard packed dirt under her feet and the terrifying fifty foot drop that said ground somehow rested on somehow managed to confuse her phobia out of existence.
157. Grave (Scaryoke)
Singing the zombies to a not so peaceful rest, Dipper's logical mind couldn't help but wonder how so many corpses had wound up that deep in the woods to raise and why they stopped completely at the tree line: it was if the woods had feasted on their blood and flesh, leaving the spirits behind to haunt the forest as the very monsters and magic they explored...
158. Convenient (Blendin's Game)
"Unlike Mr. Pines's view on the law, sometimes what's convenient isn't always good, like that piece of emergency salami: the real emergency was after the salami."
159. Scientific
"Dipper, I agree that yours and the author's work with the Journals studying cryptozoology in Gravity Falls is really scientific, carefully documented, and just very well done, but I don't think that any scientific journals will be willing to publish it."
160. Area
"I really hope Bill's equilateral, otherwise it'd be nearly impossible to calculate this (we'd have to start pulling out the law of cosines and everything)!"
Shameless reminder: please try to drop by a few prompts! As long as it's one word I'm happy to do it (I don't even check if it's a repeat unless it's a word that really stands out in my mind), there's no syllable limit (remember Apanthropinization happened), and it can be as stuffy as you like (I have google)!
