Very matter of fact when she was little, with little fuss or bother. When the triplets were seven, Acacia told everyone at the dinner table about Annie Cavan, the cute girl that she had a crush on who rode the bus with them (never shy or secretive, our Acacia) and that was that.
For their part, Henry and Mabel and Dipper always made sure to let the kids know that they were always safe and loved and able to express who they were.
Mod S sees Dipper’s Mark as being his summoning circle, or perhaps one of Dipper’s symbols, and on the skin where Dipper places it (between the eyes for Hank, on Henry’s cheek, etc). Dipper can see through it but doesn’t need to most of the time (because he’s Dipper lol). The Mark doesn’t do anything in and of itself, but most people who can see it think twice about starting something with the Marked.
Of course the beauty of the AU is that canon is pretty flex so go nuts!
let anavar-immela know- they are the ones who came up with the wonderful Max!
just a basic understanding of the show and characters is perfectly fine! the au is pretty… canon divergent. youll see references what happens in the show if you look for them but they aren’t necessary to understand what’s happening in the au. theres also looots of ocs but its not hard to catch up on who’s who if you check their tag on the blog (probably moreso if you put /chrono at the end of the url)
It’s been addressed a bit already, but yes, Mod S deffo agrees we need moar FUTURE in the au!
(Mod S would pitch in but she is pants at worldbuilding)
EDIT (Mod Z): There was an ask waaaay back that I previously touched on regarding this matter; in addition to magic sort of replacing technology in many areas, there are also numerous events that seem to happen every generation or two in which some sort of small to large scale catastrophe occurs. Considering the volatility of the energy that now resides in the physical world, disasters become more prominent… and humans hit anything from minor setbacks to “holy shit the power grids have failed in entire countries, we’ve regressed three hundred years”.
The biggest culprits would be the magic “storms” that pop up. These are unpredictable surges of energy that strengthen the link between the physical world and the dreamscape, and are generally disastrous because they affect so many things. The storms can brew natural disasters like atmospheric storms, earthquakes, tsunamis, tornadoes – anything. They can also give dangerous supernatural entities more power, make them crazy, or even birth entirely new creatures like dragons or spirits that have little to no self awareness and the overwhelming firepower. Perhaps the most dangerous side-effect that some storms bring are the random natural portals that allow powerful demons to enter the physical realm for a period of time without a summons or contract.
These storms can be mild, affect a single town and only make a few creatures go loopy for a few hours. But they can, and have been so enormous that they cover half the globe, and initiate a 2012 level of apocalyptic doom. The human race hasn’t been wiped out yet, but the existence of these storms have certainly kept them on their toes, and are the reason why they’ve failed to technologically advance at the rate we do in the real world right now.
(That’s not to say you can’t have a time where things are super sci-fi and advanced! This really is a forgiving plot aspect in which fans can take a lot of creative liberty and decide what kind of world humans live in at any given time.)
This should answer your question!
(though yes, Willow does eventually have one five million kids at the Shack lol)
