“pretty late; like a hundred years past Bentley late…. It’s pretty far in the future. If you count Alvie’s age chronologically he’s probably something like ~1800 years old at this point. Pretty far removed from his original shape.”
There are entire dissertations that go into the symbolic meaning of sheep, the potential latent magical qualities embedded in mortal sheep, weird books of poetry.
In unrelated news, the sheep industry gets a major bump after the transcendence.
One day while sitting in a DnD game with your buddies, one of the players summons a demon. And in a poof of flame and brimestone, a devil appears in the room with all of you–dice and character sheet already in hand.
Done and with sequel 🙂 (Okay not the exact prompt – he didn’t come with dice and character sheet in hand – but close enough)
I mean, they are twins and.. if Dipper gets to be immortal, special being, what about Mabel? 😦 They can’t be partners anymore, and making only the female chara have kids and live ‘normal’ boring life while her counterpart brother is having another special edgy story is just….a waste of good character. 😦 They could make a good demon set….
Hi! If you’re interested in a story where they both become demons, I think that AU is called Twin Starlets. If you’re interested in one where Mabel is the demon, @equivalence-au is the place to go, but I’m not sure how active that community is.
And I would like to say some things, if you wouldn’t mind! I think it’s an important thing to keep in mind that yes, we do have a male character becoming supernaturally special where a female character does not become such. I think that’s a valid critique. However, I don’t think Mabel’s life (even just in that one incarnation) is ever really boring! Sure she has kids, and a husband, but that’s her choice and one that makes at least some sense when you look at her in canon GF. She also never really stops being Dipper’s partner! They stick together through thick and thin. She doesn’t support all of his actions, but they’re twins, you know? They bash cults together, raise the triplets together with Henry, and they’re generally, you know, partners (of a sibling sort) in a family.
Even in her incarnations, she and Dipper are partners much of the time. Sometimes there’s a different dynamic, sure. And yes, the original Mabel that we all know is dead, but there’s still a connection between her soul and Dipper that keeps coming back and back again. A lot of TAU revolves around relationships and what makes us human. For Dipper, it’s his relationship with his sister that ultimately allows him to keep a hold of some higher moral function.
It would be the same if Mabel were the demon–Dipper would be the anchor, Dipper would remind Mabel of her humanity. If they were both the demon? They would goad each other down without one having a solid hold on humanity, and things probably wouldn’t end well.
But that’s part of how demons work in the TAUverse. If you were interested, there’s a small AU of TAU where Mabel is actually (a part of?) a goddess of chaos, done by @seiya234. Dipper is still a demon, but both of them have that more ‘special’ power that you might be looking for–it’s just different kinds of power.
Went on a
scouting mission today, not much happened, but we managed to find a child. He
was wearing some really strange clothing, some sort halfway cut off pants, with
a chest covering that lacked sleeves and some sort of odd hat with a 2 on it.
It seems he does not have family to take care of him, tomorrow we are going to
run some medical scans to see what sort of condition he is in and then decide
what to do with him.

What
Luck! The kid we grabbed yesterday has magical potential, some of the greatest
ever recorded, and better yet it seems like he isn’t even aware of it! He doesn’t
have any recorded family either, probably some kid whose parents were too poor
to afford a doctor or an official birth record. The Court has taken him in and
he will be assigned a handler tomorrow. I hope he does well here!

I’ve received
a promotion! I’ve been assigned to the kids’ case. His name is Jhon, and he is
a bright, but nervous, boy. We planned to do some more testing to see if we can
determine what sort of magical abilities he may possess, but the machine broke
down. Starting tomorrow we are going to be doing manual testing, I really hope
he doesn’t have anything dangerous. Wouldn’t want a repeat of some of the
earlier magic user tests.
