This Lovecraftian monstrosity may look like an amalgam of dying octopuses, but it’s actually a single creature called a Basket Star, a type of deep sea brittle star. They can reach up to 11 pounds in weight and 70 cm in length!
There was a person in an orange vest mopping the platform floor when Dipper dropped down through the ceiling of the subway station. They paused, briefly, looking up as though they’d just heard someone call their name, before turning back to their work.
The water they dragged their mop through had a pinkish tinge.
Ariel: also, I’m re-reading that first pines parents fic I wrote way back when and… Ariel: “There were no mentions of a demon called Dipper, or Pines, or any variation thereof – a good thing, since that whole True Name rumor had strengthened to the point of scientific hypothesis already and the last thing he wanted was for his child to be forced to do anything he didn’t want to through some form of supernatural coercion.” Ariel: …and I’m just thinking, oh Mark, you have no idea, and thank goodness for that Kassondra: WHOOPS Kassondra: WHOOOOOPS Kassondra: (whoops) Ariel: because this most likely would have taken place AFTER that whole first really bad binding incident Kassondra: …. Kassondra: …….. Ariel: because it was two years after transcendence Kassondra: (cries) Haberdasher: oh lawdy Kassondra: (sobs) Ariel: and the binding thing was just one year Zoey McTwiddydinkles: GOOD GOD Ariel: Mark’s all worried for his son Ariel: afraid of Dipper being magically forced to do terrible things Ariel: and that trauma train has already left the station and come back again without him ever knowing Kassondra: but it’s already yes Seiya: FUCK YOU RAMAR
