How did the sight start? Did it start with Mabel? Did certain people just kind of… get the sight after the Transcendence?

Mostly certain people just kind of got the Sight.

It was rare. Very rare. Its appearance didn’t even necessarily follow any hard and fast rules or patterns, either, though there may have been a correlation between its development and surprisingly close supernatural experiences during, after, or even before the Transcendence. It also came (comes) in different strengths and flavors, so it would be extremely hard to document as well, and as time went on people found that it might be inherited in family lines, or else it might vanish entirely or appear out of nowhere instead.

Basically it is and was practically impossible to predict.

Headcannon that Acacia is the tallest sibling for a while. Then Hank has a giant growth spurt and so does Willow and meanwhile Acacia is in ABSOLUTE DESPAIR because now SHE’S the shortest sibling

Mod O knows this frustration. It is completely unfair.

what kind of exclusionists are you referring to on that post about trans people not being all about their suffering? just trans exclusionists or?

lmao I never get asks on this blog and ur probably not even checking it anymore but, uh. I’m not entirely sure what post that was specifically, bc I reblog a lot of queer stuff. if it was specifically about trans people and only trans people, I’m sure I meant it as TERFs. but if it was more of a broad kind of idea that could be applied to other subgroups, then I meant any kind of exclusionist. people that think gay men shouldn’t be allowed in bc they aren’t “oppressed enough” with their male privilege, or people that think ace/aro people aren’t queer, or NB people are just “confused trans/cis people”, that anyone “straight-passing” isn’t queer, etc etc

What might happen to the supernatural after the Godmode arc?

Well, the universe ends after the Godmode arc, and a new universe begins, so anything is possible. What is supernatural to us may not be known as supernatural to the inhabitants of the new universe.

Is it possible for two or more souls to inhabit the same body? Like if a person has multiple personality syndrome or something?

Nope! There’s only room for one soul in a body at a time. Even when Mabel and Dipper shared her body, Mabel would get into a sock puppet while Dipper did whatever needed doing in her body.

Is there a condition where someone has more than one soul? Or, alternatively, do souls ever eventually merge together if they have extremely close ties?

Nope, not a thing in this AU! One soul per body, and each soul is itself and does not become an amalgamation.

I’ve add the AU to the list of reasons I don’t consider OP a valid character complaint. you have taken an already OP concept got rid of one of it’s few weakness and created a character compelling enough that there are over 1000 pages of fics head-canons and art dedicated to them even after the source material ended. congratulations.

Mod Z here!

That’s quite literally a… trope that I really enjoy because it forces the character to tackle more complex, or deeply personal struggles. You can’t just power through everything with strength to make it better.

A lot of people see OP protags as boring, and honestly? They really can be! They need to have enough conflict elsewhere–internally, mental/emotional, unavoidable fate, the mortality of their loved ones–otherwise there’s nothing really driving the story. I hope that TAU sufficiently provides in that area, that’s what I strove to portray since its conception.

So, well, thank you for noticing!

Here’s something I’ve always wondered but haven’t seen mentioned – If someone summoned Alcor to tell them all about the Transcendence itself, would he have to tell them about his involvement in the Transcendence, or would he be able to avoid that? Assuming he didn’t just refuse the deal, of course

Alcor learned how to twist his words from the best. He can probably get around telling people the truth and nothing but the whole truth, like the sneaky little demon he is.

Do the demons representing the seven deadly sins exist in the Transcendence AU? If yes, has Alcor met them before?

There are probably demons that characterize themselves according to those seven sins, but they aren’t embodiments of those sins. If you were to, say, kill the demon of ‘lust,’ that still wouldn’t change anything in the world. People themselves would still lust; that one demon that styled themseves after the concept of lust would just be dead.
