Sentient bear-o. A fic I read recently mentioned Bear-o being brought back as a toy centuries later, now imagine if someone makes a deal with alcor and the payment is ‘a beloved childhood toy’ and he doesn’t check the toy before he chucks it into his hat and next hat cleaning day BAM sentient Bear-o doll. Or something like that. Maybe the reason the original got burned was it achieved sentience on its own (it’s creepy enough)

I bet Mabel used Bear-o to communicate with Dipper while possessed, they don’t do that anymore.

On one hand, it was rough the five days Mabel refused to speak to him (especially since this was when they were fifteen and he still could only be physical for certain periods of time)

On the other hand; the sweet sweet satisfaction of setting that cursed hell beast on fire was totally worth it

HC that somebody finds a remake of Bear-o and tries to trade it in a deal. They are never seen again.

HC that one of Acacia’s reincarnations is a professional monster wrangler, and her best friends (Willow and Hank) work with her as a researcher and a sister respectively.

And Bear-O Is His Name-O

Sometimes, it seemed like everything went in cycles. Names, traditions, media tropes, fashion – everything, all the way down to toys.

And lately, it was the no-tech toys that were all the rage. No electronics, no magic, just cloth or rubber or plastic, toys that the kids had to do all the work with. Historical toys from yesteryear.

The year, the toy to have was one that no adult really understood, one that had already had protests made over it, but that kids seemed to go mad for – or because of. It was a bit hard to tell over all the crying, sometimes. About half loved it, and the other half ran in terror.

Bear-O.

Even the creator, who had designed the bear from historical records and faded photographs, didn’t understand how his creation had gotten so popular, though he enjoyed the money that came in even if he didn’t enjoy the scandal.

He’d intended the toy as a historical prop, a way to help kids connect to how things used to be, how terrifying the supernatural could be, complete with short books and hints for making the toy look like it was talking, and the kids had latched onto it fiercely.

Bear-O, with his ratty coveralls, his one snaggle tooth, his walleyes, was popular despite all the adults protesting that it would give their children nightmares, despite (or maybe because of) their reluctant admittance that it gave the adults nightmares.

Some kids even chose Bear-O to keep the nightmares away on the basis that he was scarier than most of their nightmares.

It made as much logic as anything else.

HC: Mabel learns ventriloquism for the sole purpose of making a video of bear-o reading twin souls, which she then emails to Dipper. (They have to buy a new computer the next day cause the old one is a pile of ashes.)

How does Dipper react toward Bear-O after Mabel’s death?

Dipper hates him. There’s now loads of pain added to that hate. Dipper disposes of Bear-O in a manner which both satisfies his hatred and honors the memory of the person he most associates with Bear-O: a funeral pyre.
