It’s the weirdest, most nervewracking thing ever. Dipper was more or less used to the whole Bill-reincarnated-as-a-human thing, even if there was the occasional day of doubt when he waited on tenterhooks, wondering if or when the demon might resurface in Toby as he did in Ian. But a nicer alternate dimension Bill?
What the heck?
The worst part about it in many ways is that Bill, unlike Toby, can feasibly follow him anywhere, even into the Mindscape.
I took me forever to figure out what the heck u were even talking about but then I saw TAU on your blog and everything was answered.
Posting this publicly for reasons if you don’t mind
For TAU I only ever wrote an 8-line poem named I Can See Alcor which was from Lucia’s pov and mentioned Pat exactly once and that was it, even though at that point I already had a bunch more.
I’m just really bad at keeping up with my own characters oops.The full list is;
- Alastar ‘Allan’ O’Rinn (he/him; Irish; r!Henry)
- Edith Grünewald (xe/xir; German)
- Lucia Morgenster (she/her; Dutch; r!Bill)
- Lilith Morgenster (she/her; Dutch)
- Patricia ‘Pat’ O’Rinn (she/her; Irish; r!Mabel)
- Ruan Baixue, Xue for short (she/her; Chinese, but immigrated to Germany)
Lucia, Pat, Edith and Xue are a ragtag group of internet friends. I could ramble all day about them (like how Lucia has a crush on Allan or how the others think Edith might be an elf) but here are their names at least lol
Oooh! all these babies sound cool af!
How many Transdimensional arc AUs do we have now? There’s the original, then there’s the versions where Toby comes along, plus a handful of other transdimensional suggestions here and there…
Ah, what’s one more? As long as it’s an AU of the arc instead of adding more dimension hopping to the standard storyline I think we’re good…
Mod S doesn’t quite see this, mainly because Dipper is more afraid of the mannerisms he’s gained from Bill rather than the shape. A move away from triangles is less about fear and more about moving away from any latent or left over bits of Bill’s personality within him.
On his absolute worst days, he comes close.
AN: So basically, I saw this,
and wanted to cheer Toby up a bit.
Toby sat listlessly on the couch, his one good eye staring
blankly at the late-night movie he had cued up, not really taking in any of it. He chewed mechanically on some popcorn; it really
tasted like nothing to him right now, but he didn’t want to waste it.Something soft and scaly nuzzled him on his blind side. Toby looked over and saw Madame Xqsurqrxqfhdeoh,
his Flock babysitter for the evening, on the couch beside him. Her central stalk eye met his human one,
giving him an almost questioning look, while the other two were fixed on the
popcorn bag.Wordlessly, Toby offered the bag to her, and she began
happily munching with all three of her mouths, though her stalk eye stayed dutifully
on him.Toby managed a weak smile, and reached over to run a hand
through her dark wool (she obligingly retracted her spines). For how alien the Flock often seemed, Toby had
always found it amazing how empathetic they could be.He was glad that she was here, he really was; but even with
the comfort of her presence, he still couldn’t help feeling miserable.This day had just been…what was that archaic term Alcor
sometimes used?Oh, yeah: crappy.

8. How does your OC keep track of time? Do they have a planner? A calendar?
Ian has a work calendar with the show deadlines carefully plotted out and all the milestones they have to hit to make each deadline. Ostensibly it syncs with his personal calendar. In real life, he has used his personal calendar exactly twice – once to enter Mira’s birthday into it, once to enter their anniversary into it. He never looks at clocks and can frequently be found cursing about being late for things or moaning that he accidentally stayed up until four in the morning.
Mira has a pink planner with the year written in gold-embossed script font on the cover and lacy or patterned stickers for every conceivable occasion. The whole thing is colour-coded by month and occasion and gets used, very earnestly, for the first three months of every year (sometimes four, if she’s feeling particularly committed). She usually wears at least three different pieces of jewelry that tell time, however.
14. If your OC owned a Tumblr blog, what kind of content would they post?
Ian’s has a default theme and icon with no about or summary. It is 75% reblogs of pictures of animals in places they shouldn’t be with no context provided, memes about the Illuminati, and ridiculous mashups, 20% Just Animation Industry Things, and 5% 3am existential musing shitposts.
Mira’s has a teeny-tiny anime theme in lavender and white, with a little animated Mizar sprite above her summary, which is mostly kpop and kdrama, Bollywood, kawaii fashion, and Just Relatable Writing Things, with a lot of yelling about her books and her characters and flipping out whenever someone does fanart of them.
19. Does your OC like to collect things? What kind of things do they collect?
Mira collects just about anything pastel and frilly, the more ordinary the better. She has, among other things, a pink and white toaster that toasts Hello Kitty faces onto any bread you put in it and a lavender and lace toilet brush cover.
Ian collects plaid flannel shirts.
Just had this cute little headcanon that at some point Ian and Mira colab on a children’s storybook. They plan the story together and then Mira does the writing and Ian does the art.
It’s a moderate success, by no means an instant classic but successful enough to help Mira expand her audience she can write books for if she so chooses to.
Dipper puts his head in his hands, wonders why the universe persists in fucking with him using the power of coincidence
