what if Bea could have met ciford,she would’ve had to exist earlier but seeing your dad thats also not your dad. Possessed by your dad? acting wrong, bleeding. When peeking through the crack in the door too late he saw you looking- why are you out of bed young lady? Like the grown ups are just fighting but it’s okay. There’s his blood on her cute child print blanket
There's a couple of options here- Bill managed to keep up the 'innocent muse' act long enough for Ford to give birth, or the betrayal was revealed but Ford was still trying to figure out how to get the portal shut down, either with or without Stan there. She ages more 'normally' on Earth, so I don't know if there would be a way for her to actually see and remember Ciford, since there's no way it could have continued for years on end without Ford ending up dead in one way or another.
Assuming Bill could have used some kind of magic to age her up after birth, though, either could be interesting- in the first, she knows Bill on the mindscape/from him being able to jump right into her mind, while also knowing he can possess Ford, and that's just normal to her, including the bleeding- a regrettable side-effect to the limitations of trying to stuff an energy being inside of a meat-puppet. The cracks start to show, though, and the betrayal's all the worse when it shatters the happiness they thought they had.
In the second, it's the kind of thing Ford warns her excessively about, in between bouts of paranoia that she'll hurt him- he can't manage to get unicorn hair in his dimension, so he's probably not able to fully protect her from Bill invading her mind too, but if he can, she's warned to interact with Ciford as little as possible. Plug her eyes, bar the door, and never, ever shake his hand. That thing isn't him, and she cannot forget that- always be on the watch, don't even fully trust the only person she knows.
It gives her nightmares, every glimpse of Papa with glowing yellow eyes and a too-wide toothy grin and blood dripping on her things to stain them forever, but at least she's in good company.
Bea could pass as a foreign exchange student who was homeschooled. Better study beforehand: but guessing her grades are excellent in maths, science PE and art and writing/lit she can make up such vivid and fun stories that are actual things she went through in the portal but history? Maybe not so good
Yeah, she's great at math, art, and PE in particular (and mostly good at science, just with some potential blindspots about newer discoveries- she'd be fascinated by feathered dinosaurs!) but as for history... at some point she makes a comment about the Soviet Union or West Germany in the present tense and the teacher has to go 'Uh-'
Like to imagine sometime one morning during the typical school year Bea is frolicking in town minding her business or walks past school and sees candy and grenda going to school and before saying see ya suckers and leaving she gets swept into the crowd and brought into the building for the day
I think she'd really like the chance to get to go to school, actually! Her knowledge is... kinda patchwork since Ford was her only teacher, and he's been out of this dimension for thirty years. Plus, it gives her the chance to meet and socialize with other kids- she just has to make sure to keep her goggles on at first to avoid freaking people out with her eye. They'd enroll her for the fall semester while Ford and Stan are out sailing.
Baby 🔺 in the hood, all ford feels is her light weight and tiny hands sometimes grabbing at his hair and her little noises
Do you think after everything the pines twins could come back up for winter break at school, lots of snow and cold weather activities and more time with auntie B
Baby bea triangle that sits in ford’s hood when he’s not using it. Looks like he’s unaccompanied from first look
Did Beatrice hear from her papa about their other family members/ones Ford knew about at least, or she prompt him with questions about names and faces she saw in his head, asking about where home is since he couldn’t be living like this forever. Does she know she has an uncle and maybe a version of events to what happened with the portal
She does! The fact that she has the ability to see his memories means that she's seen enough to ask questions, or just to 'know' things. She knows that he was estranged from Stan for 'breaking' his project, that he doesn't talk to his family much anymore, and that he was pushed through the portal during the confrontation with Stan.
Sometimes she can bring a different perspective (she noticed the line about Stan 'chewing through the trunk of a car', which Ford hadn't at the time, and it made him wonder just how much shit Stan had been in) but often she'll just sort of... adopt whatever Ford felt about a particular person or moment because some of his thoughts and emotions are imprinted in the shared memory.
If Bea got a mini series of quick shorts like Dipper’s Guide and Mabel’s Guide what is Bea’s guide~?
Either Bea's Guide to the Multiverse (one-off interactions with strange aliens or interdimensional humans, with at least one 'learning how to set up a campsite in hostile territory), or Bea's Guide to Earth, where she's learning how to interact with 'normal' people and everyday situations. (The catch is they're Gravity Falls citizens, so she's dealing with outliers for normal human behavior anyway.)
Do you think people after ford across the multiverse ever tried to get Beatrice or threaten her life when she was young to get him but luckily outsmarting or escaping, so she wants to be able to take care of herself? Randomly mentions she has had a laser pointer at her temple by a brute on more than one occasion and the others look at her at how casual she said it
That's definitely happened! With how dangerous life on the interdimensional run was, particularly with how often Ford hard to do illegal things to get parts for the destabilizer, she's been caught in the crossfire plenty and had to 'grow up' fast to deal with it.
Being an adventure kid sounds fun at first, but it also means she's faced down a lot of really scary stuff from basically since she was born, and her internal measurement for a 'normal' amount of danger is pretty skewed.
Don’t take his baby hand baby bee he’s striking a deal
