Liking this so far. You really nail the humor of the show and I found myself laughing several times during Mabel's various recollections.

Thanks! IMO, humor is essential to a Gravity Falls story.

I was fairly certain that today was going to be a shit day, so imagine my surprise when one of my favorite authors drops the first chapter of a series. I have been a fan for such a long time and I am very very excited to see what you do with this series. You have an incredible knack for capturing the tone of a show and mannerisms of it's characters. Kudos Mr. Glass.

Thank you so much! I hope this story lives up to your expectations. And I’m glad it brightened your day.

I love this story.  I wonder about Dee though... shades of Bill Cipher?

Interesting theory.

Quote

Mabel and Dipper are adorable together, you really express both their innocence, delight, and excitement as they learn more about each other and sex.  

Thanks! I love writing that kind of thing, which is why so many of my stories feature underage characters.

Quote

The scene with Wendy was hot and I hope there's more soon.  

There's a lot of ground still to cover, but don't worry--you'll see Wendy in action again.

Quote

I wonder how strong their powers of seduction/persuasion will get and who and what's next.  

Stay tuned!

Also, the thread about Pacifica's second job and Dipper's reaction needs to be unraveled.

All will be revealed in time.

Thanks for writing and sharing and definitely looking forward to more!

Thank you!

Some author notes about “Depravity Falls.” Beware SPOILERS!

The story has 11 chapters, which is the same number of chapters in my other Gravity Falls story, “Multiversity.” This is just a coincidence.

When Dee tells Mabel about the various things one can use to tie someone up for bondage fun, she mentions pink drapery cord. This came from a post I once saw from a lesbian who asked (facetiously, I think), "It's not bondage if you use pink drapery cord, right?”

The expression "bopping the baloney" as a euphemism for male masturbation comes from one of the National Lampoon Vacation movies. I made up "whacking the olive loaf" myself, although it was inspired by a line from a Bloom County comic strip in which Opus confesses to going berserk and beating up a street mime with an olive loaf. 

The quote "Once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, three times is enemy action" is from Ian Fleming's novel Goldfinger. Auric Goldfinger says this when James Bond claims to have run into him by chance for the third time. 

The shape of the Choco-Blocko bars – slanted at one end and straight at the other – is meant to resemble the individual stones of a pyramid. Likewise, the box of chocolates that Dee gives Mabel to share with Brenda and Candy resembles the base of a pyramid. These were meant as oblique hints about what Dee really is.

Mabel's Rainbow Jumper sweater is a nod to Disney cartoon series The Replacements. Riley Daring, one of the show's main characters, is a big fangirl of the Rainbow Jumper film franchise. 

Mabel's use of the word "hoo-ha" as slang for vagina in chapter 3 was inspired by a note Gravity Falls creator Alex Hirsch received from Disney's Standards and Practices criticiizing his use of that word on the show (because it is slang for vagina). Hoo-Ha Owl's Pizzamatronic Jamboree is where Soos takes Melody on a date in the episode "Soos and the Real Girl."

Dipper’s reference to Standards and Practices in chapter 10 is a reference to another note Alex Hirsch received from Disney’s S&P department. In the episode “Summerween,” we see a flyer for a party that Tambry is putting on, and there was originally a line on the flyer that read, “Bottles will be spun.” S&P didn’t approve this, so Hirsch just wrote “Not approved by S&P” on the flyer instead.

I did not invent the word "vagenda." I saw it in a Tumblr post once. 

Mabel's dream in chapter 10, in which she tells "Hooty" to go away, is a reference to the Disney show The Owl House, on which Alex Hirsch provides the voice of Hooty (among other characters).

Regarding the various historical figures Dee claims to have influenced in her diatribe near the end of chapter 11:

• Marquis de Sade: 18th-century French writer of pornography who depicted sexual acts considered scandalous at the time. The word "sadism" is taken from his name.
• John Wilmot (2nd Earl of Rochester): A 17-century English satirical poet known for his sexual excesses. He died of venereal disease at age 33.
• Leopold von Sacher-Masoch: A 19-century Austrian nobleman from whose name the word "masochism" is taken.
• Anaïs Nin: A 20th-century French writer best known for her journals and erotica, as well as her affair with American author Henry Miller.
• Lolo Ferrari: The stage name of French performer Eve Valois, who for a time had the largest breasts in the world. Her breast implants were supposedly designed by one of the engineers who developed the Boeing 747. She died by suicide in 2000.
