just thinkin’ about Soos and Melody, like you do, so here are some more sappy headcanons:

• Soos installs one of those tiny trains for children outside the Shack and doesn’t tell Melody about it, so it’s one of the first things she sees when she moves back to Gravity Falls. He gives her the key that overrides the coin slot–and, she notices later, he dremelled an M into its handle–and says, “So, uh, if you really want to ride tiny trains all day, now you don’t have to go to the mall, and I got rid of the time limit, so …” He looks up at her uncertainly and she tackle-hugs him so hard they both fall over. And then they stay up late talking about life and taking turns playing with the train. Also smooching.
• While they were still doing long-distance, they would play online video games together to keep in touch. Once Melody moved back to Gravity Falls, they took turns playing each other’s favorite games. Melody’s the best at fighting-type games, but Soos is weirdly good at the old point-and-click adventure games; he has a knack for figuring out exactly which random items to combine.
• Melody’s a hardcore stress baker. Soos had a tough time dealing with this at first, because on the one hand something is clearly wrong but on the other hand the house is FILLED WITH CUPCAKES and they’re very distracting! But after the first couple of times he gets better at talking things out first and then helping Melody eat all the stress cupcakes.
• Doing taxes the first year they run the Shack is a nightmare. There are so many forms and none of them make sense and being an adult is the WORST THING EVER. They soon adopt a “we’ll finish this one form and then we can go eat pizza and shoot imaginary robots” attitude, which helps a little. At one point, Melody asks, “Well, can’t we call up your Mr. Pines? How did he do it?” and Soos has to say, “Well, I, um, think he mostly lied? About everything?” This revelation does not go over well.
• At one point Melody bought Soos a Nyarf gun and it kicked off a foam arms race that only ended after they’d spent an entire night waiting to ambush each other outside of different doors. As the sun was rising, they both snuck into the kitchen in search of caffeine, spotted each other, both missed because they were so sleep-deprived, and then devolved into a communal giggle fit at how ridiculous the whole thing was.
