Growing Dipnip

http://archiveofourown.org/works/6034867

When the first sprout appeared in her garden, Sarah had elected to leave it be. It hadn’t been doing any harm, and the shimmering leaves were kind of pretty. Within a week they were starting to crowd her cabbages.

Yggdrasil was an incredibly rare magical plant, whose mysterious propagation and growing needs had stymied every attempt to cultivate it. The leaves were so rare, they could sometimes sell for upwards of a hundred dollars and ounce.

David and Sarah didn’t particularly care what an ounce of the stuff sold for. They had been giving it away by the bushel. They just wanted to find a way to keep the damn plants from completely engulfing their house.

HC: When Dipper gets nipped, Mabel brings out the laser pointer, and inevitable hilarity ensues. It’s totally worth the holes that bleed for 24 hours that Dipper’s claws tear into the walls

Fic Idea: As soon as I found out about the transdimensional arc I fell in love. The one thing that has continued to gnaw away at me though is: how did they react to Alcor on Dipnip? I can imagine Mabel and the Stan’s reactions pretty clearly, but what about Dipper. How does one react to their alternate demonic self chasing a red laser, while his sister takes pictures and screams “Scrabookortunities!” at the top of her lungs?

PFFFFFT.

Dipper is probably highly disgruntled. He’s very self-possessing in his own way; rather, he’s worried about embarrassing himself, about looking childish or undignified…

And then there’s this adult version of him literally acting like a cat.

Cue much secondhand embarrassment.

I’m having some writers block so leaving this as a prompt instead. Based off a true story involving my ex and my cat: dipnipped dipper and henry get left alone together, before Dip has fully warmed up to the man. Henry, while slightly nervous about having a drugged up demon left alone with him, is exhausted and ends up falling asleep on the couch. Dipper decides that this is a great time to get to know him better, and jumps on Henry’s stomach to take a nap too. Claws accidentally exposed.

This will not be the first or even eighth time this eventually happens to Henry

This was the first picture I drew for this thing. Just, tiny Dipper. Diplet.

Or would it be Dipling?

I mean, duckling, sapling, catling (yes that is an official word for it and I am never using “kitten” again), spiderling… And then you have droplet, islet, leaflet, booklet…

So the young of animals end in -ling, and smaller versions of bigger things end in -let? But what about something like a mini-horse? That would be a horselet, right? Because it’s not actually young, it’s just a small version of a big thing.

And then there’s Dipper, who pretends to be a young thing, but in reality he’s just a smaller version with different proportions, because he can’t actually change his age. I guess it’s a tossup.

Eh, Diplet. It’s cuter.
