More TAU-related word vomit, probably varying degrees of canon or not canon TAU thoughts. Most likely a lot of late night ideas. XD

-Depending on how Dipper holds his wings throughout the day and if Dipper is consciously paying attention to it… Does Dipper’s wingtells technically mean his hips don’t lie? Kind of?

-In one of the older fics, it’s mentioned that pre-Transcendence Dipper wrote a book about his adventures in Gravity Falls and the family published it for him. And that there’s a picture of him posing with books for the About the Author photo. If this has his birthday mentioned in it, and other important records of him are lost over time, couldn’t this be a potential source for later niblings to surprise him on his birthday, assuming he doesn’t mention it and that they read it?

-TAU came up in my dreams a couple of times and dream-me was so excited I woke up about: 1) the epiphany that I could totally get Dipper’s buttwings tattooed onto my lower back. Other people probably wouldn’t think of tau when they see bat wings but still, I could have my own buttwings. I’m not even sure I want a tattoo but dream-me was so excited. XD 2) the thought that Cani probably gets summoned to make deals with vampires to fix broken fangs. She is the tooth demon after all. 3) Lepus can leave wherever Dipper keeps him with that 1/750 chance to summon the rabbit. Imagine this happening during mating season or something, and he’s not kept away from other rabbits or something. Also imagine that over the years Lepus might have gained a way to talk and may be trying to make a rabbit army to serve the great Alcor. Cute but dangerous and all that. (Further probably not canon fun with that: Mizar finds out and teases Alcor about which animal army is next.)

-That evil!Willow dream someone had kind of makes me wonder if the Twin Souls stories ever goes the evil!Gliese route. Gliese doesn’t show up after Willow dies, right? Probably before that too because old age? Surely the Twin Souls series author(s) and fandom must feel the need to write an epic about Alcor being restored to his former glory and the unfortunate cost of Gliese’s life to do so. Fandom are driven crazy without closure on that kind of thing, you know?

-Jupiter is adorable. Is she Mabel-era? Does Mabel love the fact that Dipper is called Dadcor by her, amongst other cute names when she’s excited? Does rat niece get a cute sweater or five if she does meet Mabel?

-I HC that Anser the fox familiar goes through a variety of names over time. I love all the names everyone came up with for him and I just feel like this is what he’d do? Kind of like Dipper taking on various names in human disguise.

-Since the Pleiades are mainly support and in large number. Imagine, at one point when they are adults, there is: a hair stylist, a masseuse, a medical doctor, a chef, and a variety of other support-related jobs, depending on generation and interests. Family discounts and alternative ways to help for those who want to stay but take a different supportive path, yeah?

-“Henry, grab my hand.” “Why?” “Just do it ” (Dipper flies off over a rainbow, Henry screaming)

-(Dipper holding Mabel back from starting a physical fight) “Mabel, no, I’ll give them nightmares or something later.” “But Dipper-” (other person keeps talking smack) “Mabel, hold my hat” (his gloves are in it already, his cane has disappeared, and Henry grabs them both by the back of their shirts before they can make the situation worse) “Guys, no.”

-I had a dream where dinosaurs came back to life and those who defied them were shrunk down to just a few inches. Not being shrunk did not save you from randomly getting eaten. People were dying and losing hope. Then dream-me decided to summon Alcor, make a deal to end the dinosaur apocalypse, and the dream ended with me dying and Dipper saying “seriously ? Seriously? Dinosaurs with shrinking powers?” That’s all I remember but I agree with dream-Dipper here. Dreams are weird.

Anser was a very obedient fox in the Corduroy household. He’d been through training school quite easily, hadn’t rejected the majic enchantment that would allow him to speak, and had learned a few basic fire spells with ease. He wasn’t the best fox in his class, but he definitely wasn’t the worst.
Maybe others would have said Talia was the perfect fit to have such a sidekick when following in the family business. She didn’t go on particularly huge missions and was just as nondescript as Anser, perhaps less. They got into a lot of trouble together, Talia and Anser.
This latest mission was supposed to be easy as well. The creature was supposedly low class and easy to kill.
But something went wrong. The supernatural being ended up suddenly gaining a large amount of power towards the end (perhaps they’d had it all along but were disguising it? sphynxes are naturally tricky creatures after all, and this one had been eating people for a good twenty years).
Anser hadn’t been the best at fighting, but there was one thing he was good at; knowing what needed to be done to get his owner out of the situation.
The fox had cast a small fire spell, enough to blind the sphynx while one of them made an escape.
She didn’t want to leave. Leaving meant losing her best friend; leaving meant losing the one constant she knew; leaving meant visiting her parents and telling them what had happened. Leaving meant spending countless nights crying over the loss of her only friend- she’d never been one for social interaction, instead focusing on what she enjoyed, her work. Her family wouldn’t deny her ability to turn a conversation around into mythology and monsters.
But staying meant dying, meant disappointing Anser when it would be easy to leave.
At this point, the sphynx’s struggles without vision had caused the cave to start to shake; there was no way Anser could survive that.

When she was outside, that was when she sat next to a tree, sobbing. She didn’t know what to do next, couldn’t know- the only thing she could do was rock back and forth, trying to calm herself down.
Then she remembered the stories.
Taking out a small knife, Talia cut the back of her hand, remembering the sigils and words needed to summon the demon she was thinking about. After drawing the circle in the grass- according to family stories, she didn’t need much more than that due to her ancestor being one of Alcor’s friends- Talia started to sign the words she’d learned for just this purpose.
Maybe he couldn’t be ressurrected, per say, but Anser would definitely be remembered.

dont furget the rabbit became near-immortal after being captured by some bad cults that gave some of their lifespans to it and KEPT doing that in summonings (and we need a fic of the fox and the rabbit’s rivalry definitely) also, hc: the rabbit’s fur is seen differently by each person who sees it due to the amount of magic running through it to keep it alive. to some, its brown, and to some, its black and white and so on.

we deffo need to bring the rabbit and Anser back hardcore.
