An r!Henry who is an identical twin. She grows tomatoes on her antlers, food for everything from salads to pasta sauce! But then, since she’s so close to her sister (physically, mentally, and spiritually) for just that lifetime, she has antlers as well. But they only grow green tomatoes. Cue sadness as small children… until they find out you can cook green tomatoes like eggplant, and it’s delicious!!!

They later open a food truck that specializes in fried green tomatoes

Are there any TAU fics featuring a trans character?

Off the top of my head there is Sun-Mi and Jeremiah!

In the things I’ve written, Mizar the Empress from A Better Birthright (which I am working on again!) is a trans woman, Charlie from Haunted and Hunted is non-binary, and Vivier from The Breakfast Cult is a trans woman. 

I have more trans characters but they are either minor characters or their gender is not discuses in the text. (Renee and Vin of Haunted and Hunted are trans and agender, respectively, ftr)

Oh shoot I think the part of my ask got cut off cause it was too long haha.

I couldn’t find the summary and bios cause I’m n my phone, lol.

My question was how do demons aquire a flock? Are dreams/nightmares limited to demons that deal with those types of things or can any sufficiently powerful demon have one? How and why would a nightmare come into service (is that the right word?) To a young demon growing in power? Is it of their own volition or are they kind of snagged by the demon’s power as they go by?


Nightmares are simply attracted to (though not snagged by) demons’ power in the Mindscape. A Nightmare out on its own is basically a wandering potential snack for anything that might happen by, and this may very well include other Nightmares. It is formless and relatively weak.

But once a Nightmare has attached itself to a demon, it gains a stable form (the exact shape of which is dependent upon the demon itself) and thereby usually some better means of self-defense, as well as a relatively safe place to stay and a little more power, as attached Nightmares get to feed off of a demon’s surplus. In exchange, the Nightmares act as servants, sycophants, and, in extremis, occasional snacks for the demon.

It’s only relatively safe, not completely.

They enter this service of their own volition. Technically a Nightmare could choose to remain independent. These don’t tend to last as long as the ones who have joined a demon’s ranks, even with the snacking thing taken into account.

Each demon can also only support/keep so many Nightmares, as determined by their power. There’s basically a capacity limit in each little bubbled realm of dreamspace. Nightmares can typically sense whether there’s room for them or not. There’s not generally much of an application process. Typically they just slide in and assimilate, and most demons don’t really care about them as individuals.

So to Nightmares, a new young demon in the mindscape without a following…

…more or less.

As for Dreams, overall they’re the ultimate prey in this environment and don’t attach to demons as a general rule, mostly because they’d be eaten immediately, either by said demon or by the Nightmares under said demon’s command.

Alcor’s pretty much a weirdo all around in this aspect, as he is in so many others.

I just saw a joke about Alf pogs having a value about equal to a human soul, and it made me wonder: what’s the weirdest thing Dipper’s ever been offered in a deal?

transcendence-au:

Some weird things Dipper has been offered in a deal

  • a hamster
  • an apple, but a half eaten one
  • a paperclip
  • a year’s supply of clean socks
  • a sweet street parking space in the depth of the Chicago winter
  • a paperclip, some string 
  • Grandma’s Beanie Baby collection
  • partnership in the hottest McMomalds franchise in Southeast Iowa
  • an iPod but like, one of the original ones that holds 350 gigs of music and like not even iPhones today hold that much wtf that’s some bullshit
  • a paperclip, some string and a singular nail clipping

awesomecat42: I think the real question is: How many of those did he accept?

all of them because Dipper is a trash panda.
