Mabel and Wendy in a battle of wits on base made by @turquoisegirl35. It's part of an AU where, during their free time, Dipper, Mabel, Pacifica, and Wendy form a baseball team to try and get Dipper and Pacifica out of their shells. Wendy and Mabel try to boost Dipper's confidence by getting him to give playing baseball a shot. In the team, Wendy and Mabel are the most experienced player on the roster with Wendy having played on old Gravity Falls little league team before it was dissolved a few years before 2012 and Mabel having watched alot of baseball back in Piedmont while she was boy spotting and picked up some of their moves as well as the mechanics of the game. Because of their skill level, they become the team's de facto Coaches. Wendy acts as their head coach while Mabel is her trusty assistant coach.

They make the perfect duo to balance each other out with Wendy's cool and calm attitude to help the team focus and let loose perfectly molding with Mabel's high energy and enthusiasm to pump up and drive the team. They never take themselves too seriously as the team's coaches and often jump in the fun themselves. Despite taking the roles as the teams Coaches, they are actually both players and play along side the team. As tough as it is to handle a new team, they always remember that Baseball is all about having fun, which is something they are never short of. But their roles are coaches are not just because they are the ones who know baseball best, its also a chance for them both to mature even just a bit with Wendy learning what it means to be a leader and to be responsible for others and Mabel learning to let go of her impulsiveness and think things through once in a while. And even if they are the most experienced, on the field, they let the others shine with Wendy usually taking 2nd base (because of her height) or shortstop (because of her skill) while Mabel usually calls the shots from behind the plate as Dipper's catcher. However, being coaches doesn't stop these 2 from abit of healthy competition themselves. After all, getting down and dirty is one of the best parts of baseball and they know it well. Often times, during training, they divide the team between the two of them as Team Mabel and Team Wendy for mock games in a fun competition to see who's the better coach...for that day. Wendy and Mabel love cooking up schemes to try and outsmart each other on the field as best they can building on their own specialties: Mabel's unassuming and energetic persona often trying to put an innocent mask to hide whatever she's planning and Wendy's cunning instincts to try and see through Mabel. Unfortunately for Mabel, Wendy always has the upper hand having seen all Mabel's tricks and learning from her own experiences in Little League. No matter how adorably Mabel tries to act innocent, Wendy's always on her case never tearing her focus on whatever Mabel's got up her jersey-sleeve. After all, Wendy's seen it all on the diamond. Not even Mabel's best act can throw Wendy off her instinct that Mabel is, in fact, gonna try and go for the steal on the next base.As the summer and the season courses through, their "competition" only gets more and more daring with Wendy pulling off incredible plays to stop Mabel while Mabel picks up Wendy's sense of intuition on the field. They learn and grow from each other and this bonds them even closer. And though the team looks up to both of them, Mabel and Wendy gain a new found respect for each other from their little competitions. Just like Wendy and Pacifica, Mabel looks up to Wendy as the older-sister she never had while Wendy would ride and die for the little sister she's found in Mabel. Nothing can get past these two on the field and nothing can get in between them no matter what!

UConn women’s basketball was SOLD OUT to watch the huskies beat Notre Dame

But no one watching though, right?

I hope Travis Green knows he wasn’t the issue and that the team really just needed a change of pace… sad because I loved Green but excited for what’s to come with this much needed change. Now pls fire the real issue BENNING.

🎯

I’ve stayed up until 4:30am to watch this race. If it’s not the best race of the year someone’s gonna pay

Twitter got jokes

They told me to put my heart in everything I do. So that's what I did, and I poured and I poured and I poured. Now they ask me why I am so empty and confused. Drawing and illustration Felicia Chiao on instagram.
