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.
