since they’re still kids and teenagers, and thus not perfect.
Acacia: Typical teenage terror. Think arguments, sulking in her room for hours on end, random crying fits, the occasional shouting blow out. Acacia has a very short temper and it takes her a long time to get some kind of control over it. Argues mostly with Mabel, who also can have a temper too.
(Its hidden under sequins and sweaters and sweets, but it’s there alright.)
Hank: If he thinks the rules are wrong, or they’re dumb, he feels zero compunction about breaking them. For example, when he was eight, he ate every cookie in the jar because a. cookies are yummy, b. he was hungry, c. why should he have to have only one after dinner? This isn’t often the older he gets, but there are still one or two serious groundings in high school because of this trait.
(seriously, is it anyone this fucking kid makes a mafia i s2g)
Willow: Gets shunted to being the Good Girl (not in the family… mostly, but definitely outside of it.) Between that pressure and constantly being treated with kid gloves, Willow tends to bottle things up, and then occasionally explodes. Said explosions are usually paired with barbed remarks made with the help of her emphatic powers.
(When they were 11, Stan had to physically separate Willow and Acacia, who were doing their best to beat the shit out of each other, even though said attempts were mainly slaps and scratches. Acacia wouldn’t say what Willow said to start it. Willow never did either. But neither of them spoke to each other for a week after)

In the Mindscape, something stirred.
Dipper felt the ripples, less like a water droplet landing in a still pond and more like the aftershocks of an earthquake. He stopped in the middle of seeding a particularly good Ghost of Presidents’ Day Past nightmare in the mind of a slumbering corrupt public official, and listened, hard.
The ripples died away, slowly, to a faint tremor and then only a dissatisfied grumbling. But something had changed – something had shifted. The tenor of the Mindscape had modulated to a different key. And by the sounds of things, that key was minor.
Transdimensional arc: Dipper and Mabel meeting Alvie, with Dipper questioning on how Alcor managed to create a sentient virus that’s designed to his liking. And of course the twins growing attached to the virus.
You know that this would mean Alcor showing up in this other dimension, having to wait around for Bill to resurface, and in the meantime deciding to recreate Alvie in this universe using all the code he knows. Which, let’s be honest, he’d probably do, if only out of boredom and a need for chaos.
Now, how well Alvie would work in a ‘verse where it’s all computers and very little magic, and where the computer capabilities are probably decades if not centuries behind what they would be when Alcor made him…um…
Maybe Alcor just figures out a way to retrofit the coding to something that can actually be supported by the non-magical computer systems of earth of that time. Somehow. Alvie -2.0. It’ll grow as the supporting technology does; it’s just starting off further back.
What happens to Mabel in TAU?
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.
AU where Acacia is a Bill reincarnation and everyone has a panic attack
It is questionable as to whether Acacia would survive past infanthood. Whether she did or didn’t, it is also questionable as to whether or not Dipper and Mabel’s relationship would flourish under those circumstances.
And if Acacia weren’t torn apart, if Dipper and Mabel were still on speaking and visiting terms…Acacia, with two other siblings, with two parents to love her, would notice a difference in how she was treated by their uncle. Kids always notice.
I need to draw more.
I’m curious to know what everybody is favorite donut flavor is for Dipper and family.
Henry and Stan: plain glazed
Acacia: Chocolate cake.
Hank: Blueberry cake.
Willow: jelly filled.
Dipper: a weird mixture of dirt, glass, and onion flakes he puts on himself.
Mabel: okay so first you glaze it, then you put Fruity Pebbles on it but oh wait there’s already Fruity Pebbles baked in the dough okay so Cocoa Pebbles on top, then you get maple syrup and-
Quick Question: What would happen if Zero Gravity Mabel and Dipper meet Alcor from the Transcendence au?
Psychic Singularity 04
After Fluffernutter’s little bombshell, it was more important than
ever to get out there and find Dipper – before he could do something
like disseminate into so many pieces, they’d never find them all.In the end, they took two nightmares for each of them, with the rest
agreeing to stay and protect the rest of the town. Something they
probably only agreed to because Dipper loved the town so much, but it
didn’t matter what their reasoning was so long as they would do it.So it was that the Pines family, augmented by Lucy Ann, Wendy, Soos,
Melody, and Pacifica (all five of which they’d tried to talk into
leaving behind and utterly failed, especially in the face of Soos’
argument that “He’s our family too, dudes. An’ we couldn’t help him last
time, so we gotta now.”)The Ramirez kids, Pacifica’s Theo, and Grenda and Marius’ Hansel,
Gretyl, and Mary all agreed to stay behind and help keep things under
control at the community center. They weren’t happy about it, but they
agreed anyway.Which meant that there were twenty six nightmares going out into
their Master’s mindscape, halving the Flock. They weren’t very happy
about it at first (they didn’t trust the Dreams’ safety to anyone but
themselves, and grudgingly their Master) but when they saw the arsenal
Candy had brought along and just how competently most of the town
handled it…Well. They didn’t worry quite so much.
“Okay. So. Plan time,” Mabel said, her hand on the door handle. “We
find as many of Dipper’s facets as we can, then take them to the Shack
to put them together. There might be something there that’ll help. You
get separated, make your way to the Shack. Got it?”Various nods and mutters answered her, and with a deep breath, Mabel shoved open the door.
