So allow me to casually take a seat in the corner while I write this since i’m probably heading there anyway.
So, I don’t think the origins of Anser was really officialized?? I mean, I don’t remember an actual “This is where Anser comes from” thing so this is my idea for it (if there has been a thing I appologize cause I haven’t seen it and tis can be disregarded) and i thought I would share. How does this tie in to Wendy? Well allow me to cackle a little and tell you my thoughts.
Wendy, as I belive was stated a few times, dissapeared at one point in time, and only Dipper knows what happened to her, but he refuses to tell anyone about it. I’ve read a few fic’s where she died and he couldn’t save her, but what if….
What if Dipper, in one of his fits of rage, is the actual reason Wendy is dead. Dipper, having lost control of his Demon Side, kills her. And only afterwards does he realize what he’s done and he’s devistated and that’s why he doesn’t tell anyone.
Wendy, however, as a ghost/spirit/whatever, visits him while he’s mourning and refusing to go home, you know, in that state where “I can’t face anyone what am I supposed to do” thing he gets sometimes that last’s for weeks. And she’s all “Dude, I forgive you, it’s cool, you weren’t yourself.”
And they have this long chat that eventually leads to a deal. Wendy, during her time between reincarnations, accompanies Dipper as his familiar. Anser, the fox. However when her time comes to go be reborn she leaves him again. She acts as a small anchor to keep Dipper grounded as a reminder of what he can (and has) done. So when Mabel isn’t there, he still has that small reminder.
Bittersweet, but sad none the less.
*bows and walks deeper into the corner* (I also may or may not be planing on writing this as a fic, *cackles*)
