Absolutely! It’s not a ‘one and done’ kind of deal

I may have found an explanation for the Pines’ personal belongings becoming powerful weapons. Ever heard of tsukumogami? It’s an Asian myth that states if an item is cherished for a long period of time, it may develop a soul and become self-aware. I could see such things as being quite powerful if cherished enough.
Whenever Alcor observes Dipper in the Transdimensional Arc. when does he ever think “Man, I actually did that? What was I thinking? Should I tell little me the mistake he’s about to do?” type of thought whether humorous or embarrassment?
Oh definitely but he rarely ever does anything about it. That little embarrassing version of him still fills him with a fond, if not emotionally painful, nostalgia.
Imagine, some hundred years into the future, Alcor gets summoned for the first time by someone that isn’t human, but nor are they supernatural. This particular person is extraterrestrial. Alcor was summoned by an alien, most likely the same race that crashed a spacecraft into gravity falls. Would he freak out or go full Dipper geek?
It would be a roller-coaster of emotions. He’d be absolutely off the wall freaking out inside after realizing what happened but he’s pretty old now. He can keep his composure during the summoning, pretending to act all cool. Maybe inserting something about “yeah you can tell your friends to summon me if they need to or not whatever who cares.” and then goes back to the mindscape where he geeks out for a couple weeks because ALIENS summoned HIM actual ALIENS.
Mod V really wants to draw this.
Whats Dipper like drunk?
Oh Mod Z did some great art about it forever ago here but he gets very love-y when around his family and close friends :)c
In the Transdimensional arc, Alcor driving Dipper, Mabel and Stan. It goes as well as expected.
Not helped by Alcor mentioning that it was his Stan who taught him how to drive.
I’ve been browsing through the many pages of this AU and upon seeing that the Mystery Shack eventually becomes sentient, the first thing that popped into my head was an actual tourist trap in Santa Fe called Meow Wolf. After the transcendence, do places like that stay popular or do they become mundane as the weird becomes more commonplace? Would they start to incorporate magic or would they become controversial because of their “weirdness?”
Hmmm, that’s a good question!
So on one hand, one reason the Shack transitions from tourist trap to library is because Stan loses a bunch of business after the Transcendence. What’s the point of going to see weird supernatural stuff in a hut when the entire world is full of weird supernatural stuff?
On the other hand, that’s just Stan’s business and situation. Other business thrive because of the Transcendence- perhaps they’re able to successfully drop the veil-oh no laddie everything in here really is real. Or they shift towards a more educational bent (same weird shit, more interpretive panels.)
Ultimately it probably depends on the business owner and the reputation of the business within the local community and in the wider tourist world.
Alcor’s power is linked to his emotions, right? He sneezes, there’s some fire, he gets pissed, the walls bleed, but what about when he grieves? I imagine it’s powerful. Like, the sky changes. Or, IDK, it depends on the person. Like, when he ate Wendy’s soul, the sky was a deep, deep red. And henry was a cool, crystal blue. And Mabel is a supernova. Like, every colour, at once, for a really long time. A day, at least. He doesn’t notice though, he’s too busy mourning, but he gets it eventually.
is Lucy Ann’s name a reference to Dracula or is it a coincidence?
You would have to ask @gardenofphantoms, who created Lucy Ann, but as far as Mod S knows, no.
Coincidence! But one I am happy to pretend I did on purpose.
