A Children’s Book of Bills

angryinterrobang:

Based on this post… but sillier. It’s best to imagine it with Edward Gorey images.


Bill Cipher was a trickster,

he was stuffed in human skins,

Alcor can keep his eye out,

but Cipher always wins.

*

Ian was a creator,

he loved to make cartoons,

his soul got him taken,

by top government goons

*

Toby was a sweetheart

who burned out his own eye.

Never darkened any doorway

but he still had to die.

*

Now Chrys she was selfish,

Alcor enjoyed her rage.

She made herself a Mizar

on the Sentient Stage.

*

Jude was full of bluster,

she needed better care.

Alcor knew how to help her

as long as she can’t swear.

*

Enoby was all enthusiasm,

I’m certain they’ll be fine.

When the world is out to get them

they can write their truth online.

*

Each lifetime forms a link

in the chain around this soul.

Bill may still be winning

but he’s not in control.

I felt we needed more Jude on this blog, so here’s a fic prompt!

Jude thinks another kid at the Shack is trying to mind control her, and summons Alcor for help because she doesn’t want to pick a fight with a magic user without knowing more about her.

“She’s implanted herself into my fudging brain! I always know where she is in the goshdarned room with me, and I want to do whatever will make her happy, and when I screw up I always think about how she’ll laugh at me for it! And worst of hecking all, I lay awake at night thinking about her! Tell me she’s not trying to bend me to her will somehow!”

*zoom-in on Alcor’s face* “Uh-oh.”

An Appointment

Alcor clears his throat.

“Do you want to do it another time?” he says. “I have a couple places
to be and—”

“No,” Jude says, her teeth gritted. Her finger hovers over the button
on her holocell. “I can do this.”

His eyes flick to the sweat beading at her temples. The trembling of
her finger as it intermittently dips toward the button, never quite touching
it.

“If you want I can call for you—”

“No,” she says more emphatically. “I
can do this.

He allows her a few more moments, watching her aura shift from one
muddy color to the next. When nothing happens, he assumes a bored expression
and murmurs, “Can you?”

   They didn’t like her. Why didn’t they like her?

  
Jude sat in the Mystery Shack’s living room, chewing her food like she
wanted to kill it. The couch, armchair, beanbags, and folding chairs had
all been claimed by quicker kids than she, the carpet too. No one had
invited her to sit next to them. No one had wanted her to sit
next to them; they never did. So Jude sat in the corner farthest away
from the holo, farthest away from the other kids, stewing in
frustration. And the question played on loop in her head. Why didn’t
they like her? Why?

Jude comes after Toby, right? Does that mean Alcor is really protective of her?

Mod R here! Jude was indeed after Toby, but Alcor isn’t exceptionally
protective of her, at least not for that reason. He tends to try to
“reset” his expectations for each r!Bill he meets– after all, it’s
still Bill’s soul, he has to be on his guard. Emphasis on try–He
gradually softens over time as he meets more non-evil r!Bills and he’s
never again at the level of violent distrust that he was at when he
first met Ian (unless the reincarnation gives him a reason to be).
That’s why he tries to just nope out of there  instead of doing
something violent when Jude cusses at him.

On top of that, it’s
kind of difficult for him to think of Toby when looking at the small
angry child with a potty mouth that is Jude.

That’s not to say he isn’t
protective of her, of course! All the kids that he takes in, he’d
probably kill for. And there are other reasons for him to be especially
protective of her too…that I may write about…we’ll see.

Just reminded by the other ask about r!Bill, did Jude end up living with Dipper or? I remember wanting to know that she was okay.

Mod R here! I pictured Jude living with the other kids that Dipper takes in from abusive homes and such. If I remember correctly, they all live in the Wandering Shack, which takes care of them.

I don’t have anything more planned for her but if anyone else wants to write stuff with her I would be tickled pink!
