9:31:09 PM] Zoey McTwiddydinkles: ok but imagine the first time one of the kids picks up on how fatherly dipper is towards them and when they’re asked to draw their family in class its the trips plus one gal and two dudes and the teacher is like “who are they” and the kid’s like “my mom and two dads”
[9:31:19 PM] Zoey McTwiddydinkles: dipper keeps putting it up on the fridge. henry keeps taking it down in defiance.
[9:31:44 PM] Zoey McTwiddydinkles: unless one of the kids sees him
[9:31:49 PM] Zoey McTwiddydinkles: then he slowly puts it back
[9:31:57 PM] Seiya: OMG
[9:32:21 PM] Ariel Ptak: it sounds cute, but sadly unlikely, especially if they’re told Dipper is “uncle” as opposed to Henry’s “dad”…or nevermind, Seiya’s gone for it
[9:32:38 PM] Ariel Ptak: regardless, they’d probably think that an “uncle” is essentially a second dad
[9:32:46 PM] Seiya: that’s what i’m going with
[9:32:57 PM] Zoey McTwiddydinkles: i’d totally buy that
[9:33:00 PM] Ariel Ptak: and “Great Uncle” Stan is basically a Great Dad
[9:33:11 PM] Ariel Ptak: and Soos is more distant, but he’s called Tio anyhow so it’s not the same thing
[9:33:17 PM] Zoey McTwiddydinkles: “thats uncle dipper” “i thought u said dad?” “yeah” “but uncle” “????? isnt that what uncle is”
[9:33:20 PM] Ariel Ptak: (not emotionally distant, but distance distant)
[9:33:23 PM] Ariel Ptak: (less constantly there)
[9:33:28 PM] Ariel Ptak: yep!
[9:33:32 PM] Ariel Ptak: Making friends
[9:33:38 PM] Zoey McTwiddydinkles: “next ur gonna tell me uncles arent demons haha” “??????????”
[9:33:43 PM] Ariel Ptak: getting the inkling that these friends have uncles
[9:33:49 PM] Ariel Ptak: but the uncles aren’t like dads at all???
[9:33:55 PM] Seiya: do.
[9:33:57 PM] Seiya: do not get?
[9:33:58 PM] Ariel Ptak: some of them even live in another state???
[9:34:03 PM] Ariel Ptak: how does that work?
[9:34:26 PM] Ariel Ptak: (and then when they learn about divorced parents and stuff they figure it’s kind of like that)
[9:34:35 PM] Zoey McTwiddydinkles: “but you arent HIS children” “yeah??? we are??????” “but you’re henry’s children” “why are u talking in circles”
[9:34:37 PM] Kassondra Ptak: heeheehee
[9:34:55 PM] Zoey McTwiddydinkles: (just two days ago uncle dipper picked one of them up to mush their cheeks together and whisper “my precious baby”)
[9:35:15 PM] Ariel Ptak: (like mom and dad separated and live in different places with different people sometimes so it’s like that for most of their friends’ uncles and aunts, which is apparently like a mom-uncle or something)
