California would certainly say so.
But for real. It doesn’t come out as much in fics, because most everybody loves Dipper/Alcor and wants to see him happy with other people, but Alcor is a demon. A demon with some human instincts, sure, but a demon nonetheless. He wants to be on top. He wants to rob you blind. He really really really wants to see if he can finagle your soul into the bargain, because wow those are delicious. Sometimes his pesky human brain butts in and messes things up (what we would think of as doing the right thing), but nobody should rely on that. Summoning Alcor is a bad idea. A really, really bad idea.
Twin Souls and its various offshoots comprise a massive trainwreck, but Alcor reserves great loathing for 100 Golden Hues, which features neither 100 golden hues (the curse of near-omniscience means he knows this) nor safe, accurate, or sane sex (also a byproduct of near-omniscience, relayed in horrifying detail).
Finally drew something TAU that I’m not embarrassed to claim! I’m going to try to make a digital version but don’t expect that bc it’ll probably turn out terrible! It’s supposed to be Dipper balancing his demon and human sides, got a little out of hand though.
He knows damn well what Dipper’s doing, whispering behind that camera. He used to do this sort of thing himself. He remembers.
Doesn’t mean he makes it at all easy for the kid.
Alcor, having learned from a great deal of experience (and from Stan) that people pay to see shows, not realities, deliberately shapeshifts into an apparently fake recreation of an animatronic dragon. No flying or rides perhaps (aside from photo ops, $20 $200 per picture) but he does breathe fire and roar and move at unexpected moments to make people scream and then chuckle at themselves because oh it’s not real, of course not, silly me.
It drives young Dipper mad. This is honestly the whole point. Well, this and the cooler of choice steaks Stan promised for the job.
We don’t rule out the possibility of various shenanigans during the time that passes between Alcor’s arrival and Bill’s return.
