#chubby pacifica

Another commission I got from the amazing @zillabean ! (A million thanks!)

Time for my monthly art upload! I decided to give my Adult Wendy and Pacifica designs a long-overdue update. Actually pretty proud with how these two came out - I tried to go for a more detailed and in-proportion look without veering into another artstyle entirely.

Headcanon time: Wendy works as a park ranger (and occasional investigator of forest crimes) for the Gravity Falls Valley and lives in a log cabin she built herself. Pacifica meanwhile returned to the Falls after a bad experience with a college work placement and took up her old job at Greasy's - word is Susan wants Paz to take over once she's retired. Since Dipper and Mabel are off doing their own things, the two have formed an odd friendship. They like to go on walks, throw axes, host dirt track races, get drunk, smoke pot, eat suspect mushrooms, and play video games (not necessarily in that order). Could be more than a friendship, depending on how you look at it...

Bonus: Work Uniform Paz

Random Gravity Falls Headcanon #20,000,002: Chubby Pacifica!

A little background - this was kind of inspired by @lemonfodrizzleart's AU/headcanon, where Pacifica's mom Priscilla was quite chubby as a kid, but was forced to lose weight when she grew up. My thought was that her family in general gain weight much faster and easier than most due to genetics - knowing this, Priscilla forced her daughter on a strict 'starve diet' from an early age, basically meaning that Pacifica was constantly hungry all the time (which didn't do her temper any favours).

Sometime after the show, her parents kicked her out for being too back-talky and she was forced to move in with Lazy Susan, who she'd been working for for some time. With her mom gone, Pacifica basically gorged herself on diner food, both to take advantage of her newfound freedom and to help deal with the stress of her whole situation. She kinda denies she's put on weight until she's had to replace her clothes three times and Susan lets her wear her old tie-dye shirt from when she first attended Woodstick back in the 60s.

Pacifica has a bit of a crisis, since she spent so much of her life focused on her personal appearance and catering to the perceptions of others, but she just can't seem to lose the extra weight - exercising just makes her even hungrier, trying to eat healthily leaves a 'void' and she ends up eating copious amounts of it to compensate, and that just contributes to the stress... not a fun time. She eventually learns to accept this part of herself, with the support of the Pines twins, Wendy and Soos, of course. She also attends therapy - Grenda's mom is the town therapist and she's well-acquainted with body image issues. Maybe she derives some satisfaction from how much it'd annoy her mom, too. :V
