ok my brain just made this connection Halloween is based on the Celtic feast of Samhain. In Samhain costumes and Jack-o-lanterns (originally turnips) are about protection from evil sprite as the vail between world is weak. So post Transcendence would Halloween costumes become mandatory like it’s literally not safe of leave the house on Halloween without one?

Perhaps not in all places, but yes, Halloween definitely gets more… lively after the transcendence

A few hundred years in the future a child summons Dipper to a get info for a history report they make a deal that includes that Alcor has to tell the truth about what happened which he does easily because he was there but the child fails the assignment. Why? It doesn’t match the common view of what happened. (think the idea that Paul Revere was the only midnight rider and not one of many) The child disgusted by this starts a life long quest to reveal the truth about history.

Mod S is a historian and approves of this headcanon

Dipper, who is having a real bad day and has turned back to his twelve-year-old form is summoned by a parent looking to help their sick child. He turns up with no fanfare and looking kind of pitiful and the parent can’t help but mother him. like they’re trying to make the deal but he just looks so sad and small and well not helpless but not like an all powerful demon. long story short Dipper gets hot chocolate and cookie’s and the parent get a very reasonable deal.

oh no my feelings

-Dreams that take 2D form, like crayon scribbles on the walls that follow you around. 

-A small little pack of Daymares that likes to party in high stress environments like talent shows or state testing centers, but they’re easily distracted. They sound like the incessant clicking of pens, speak in spliced-apart echo repetition, and generally can only be seen in your peripheral. 

-Small fluffy rabbit Dreams that huddle and multiply in preschools or daycares. 

-Lonely abandoned Dreams, grey and drab like old laundry. 

-Fledgling Nightmares that try to be all of the scary things and end up looking more bizarrely cute than terrifying. Please don’t laugh at them, they try so hard. Not their fault if a fear of falling combines with a fear of drowning, resulting in manifestation as a leaky ceiling.

I was suddenly struck by a flood of ideas. Thoughts?

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?

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

Acacia’s work winds up being taught in high school art classes both because she’s one of the famous Pines family and that her art is one of the earliest examples of accurate depictions of the supernatural. (Why yes many of Hanks mafia volunteered to model for her how did you guess) (PS She may or may not have as a joke done a Precedential style portal of Hank that the Dinner Crew still keeps in a place of honour)

Mod S is here for presidential portrait Hank.

When I think of what other art of Acacia’s gets preserved in museums and textbooks in the future, I think her more disturbing or off-putting pieces definitely get coverage.
