Wouldn’t it be nice if during Dipper’s first reincarnation an absolutely rare coincidence occurs in which nearly everyone is around and together. Imagine them going to their grandpa and granduncle’s curio shop for the summer and having a reunion with some of their friends in that sleepy town with such a tacky name. How about that little girl next door Cassie and her little club that looks up to dipper then blackmails him to tutoring them in algebra. Or the kind old lady that teaches Mable how to knit sweaters. Maybe that little albino twerp who finally got over his obsessive behavior finally and is everybody’s friend.

Some people are still missing dipper would think but he would look at Mable and her sweetheart are those antlers? and at himself and his sweetheart woohoo! and think soon

I came up with an idea a few minutes ago. After the Transcendence and the existence of demons is confirmed there would probably be a few antidemon activists. Lets say that some form groups against particular demon and call themselves anticults or something like that. One of the biggest anticults would be Alcor’s right? I haven’t heard any other demons mentioned so he’s probably the most prominent. Down the line, the leadership of this group would be given to…wait for it…a Gideon reincarnate

PFFFFFFT

*GASP* So, you said that Gideon would eventually try summoning Alcor to get his revenge, right? You made it sound like Gideon knew that it was Dipper. You also said that if someone knew Alcor’s name was Dipper, that they’d have total control over him, right? THAT MEANS THAT GIDEON CAN CONTROL ALCOR. IS THIS A MAJOR PLOT-POINT YET?!

I know this was said before, but it’s probably been a while so I’ll cover this again.

“Dipper” becomes part of Dipper’s true name rather than his birth name, because true names can change over time, generally due to attachment and self-identification.

However, Dipper Pines still has a middle name as well. It’s never been canonically established (in the show or in this AU), but it’s there. So even if someone learns Dipper’s true (first) name has changed to match his nickname, they’d still have to find his middle name. (Which would be harder than usual, since his birth name is a general mystery as well, meaning searching a database would be difficult)

Not only that, but true name bindings aren’t terribly effective when used by themselves. It’s more akin to a magnetic pull than complete control over someone’s body. You can only attain that kind of control with powerful spells that more often than not backfire on the spellcaster – or by being a demon and owning a person’s soul.

BUT that being said, Gideon could probably find Dipper’s full true name after long hours of work, and combine the binding with other spells and anti-demon measures and such to make it truly threatening. It wouldn’t be a sort of puppeteer level of full-body control, but it’s still possible to do some pretty significant damage by using Alcor like that, should he let his guard down enough (or at the very least, while he’s still a greenhorn).
