I made a generator! The picture is a link. Sample results: 

“Alcor, hiding from Ian’s eye and spying on Hank’s mafia, enjoys spa trips and frequently has them.”

“Alcor, making a deal for knives with Aslan on his head, wished he had a more normal existence.” 

I think there over 10,000 possible results.

People have almost certainly posted about this before, but one of the (many) things I love about the Gravity Falls Transcendence AU is how it shows the evolution of complex stories with multiple authors, in the same way as long-running comic book universes and even religions.  It started with a fairly simple premise (AU where Dipper becomes a demon), and evolved with people expanding on it and pointing out other aspects of the story (what happened to Bill after?  How did the world respond?  How did this happen in the first place?).  Expansion continues with exploration of logical consequences (okay, so Mabel grows up beating up cultists with her usually-invisible demon brother.  What about her personal life?  Henry and the triplets are introduced, and become crucial figures in the mythos.  Hank accidentally forms a mafia, and stories about their backstories begin to appear.  Henry becomes the Woodsman, and other authors expound on those details).  Theories become accepted as canon (there was some early stuff that mentioned a separate afterlife for demons, before reincarnation became an accepted part of the story) and became fodder for even more stories and theories (r!Bill usually has a twin.  Dipper tends to follow Mizars closely.  Henry’s soul will always have antlers).  More and more characters are introduced, often only tangentially related to the original story (Torako, Malala, Michael).  Stories appear that contradict each other (when was Maritza’s time?  She’s friends with Maddie, but Maddie is Toby’s little sister, and Henry’s soul was absent from the reincarnation cycle for quite a while after Paloma, in Ian’s time.  How long could it have possibly taken for Bill’s soul to reincarnate?) or tell the same story in different ways (how did Maddie find out that her dad is Alcor?  How exactly did the Transcendence happen?).  The AU has only existed for about a year, but it’s already so complicated, with very little central canon and no absolute authority (you can attribute most ocs to specific people, but that’s about it), and stories written by many different people with different priorities.  It’s an interesting study in how, say, the Bible came about, and if anyone who knows more about religious studies or whatever were to write a paper about it I’d be really interested to read it.

Tl; dr: The Transcendence AU is very cool on a meta level, as well as a textual one, and when I start talking about it I tend to ramble.

#it really is just the freaking GREATEST au#like we’ve just kinda slowly introduced a couple universal rules regarding the world and how it works#(worldbuilding to an extent you NEVER see in other AUs)#and then it’s just like… GO! be free! do whatever you want within the few rules! have fun!#and there is a defined /end/ but you can play around BEYOND the ‘end’ with what happens after#and the timing of the ‘end’ isn’t super defined we can create ANY NUMBER of OCs anywhere on the timeline#and there’s even a huge mythos of what was BEFORE the au and the history between Dipper and Bill’s souls#and the fics can go from fluffy to funny to GRUESOME just like that so there’s something for everyone#and?? i’m just?? endlessly in love with this au please hold me# @demo-ness

Lanna skin stretched and split, spines pushing their way through her skin as she screamed for release. Her creator, the one she had prayed to for help, the one she summoned for a solution, watched coldly as she suffered.

“Ｙｏｕ ｓｈｏｕｌｄ ｂｅ ｐｒｏｕｄ ｔｏ ｊｏｉｎ ｍｙ ｒａｎｋｓ．”

“  She cried out before her jaw pushed its way past where it should have been on a normal human. She wept. She was no longer human. “

Her master, her maker, that monster, her mother, Ashlesha the demon of Change simply watched with a bemused expression that could never be mistaken for something as innocuous as a smile. The demon leaned forward and gently traced the barb-covered back of one of her six hands against the rippling flesh that was once Lanna’s cheek. “Ｉｔ ｉｓ ｍｙ ｇｉｆｔ ｔｏ ｙｏｕ， ｍｙ ｄｅａｒ． Ｍｙ ｐｒｅｃｉｏｕｓ ｗｏｒｓｈｉｐｅｒ． Ｍｙ ｃｈｉｌｄ．”

Lanna cried harder as the transformation came to its climax; snapped bones resetting with as much pain as when they broke. Her skin, once a beautiful umber, was pebbly and drew taut over her new frame, still rippling with the effort of matching the visible musculature. Where the scars of sorrows stood now there were blades of bone that jutted forth, promising harm to anyone who dared harm her.

Ashlesha watched with pride as her newest work became a reality. Her latest child. Her lusus naturae. Hers. She let out a soft sigh and quietly took up Lanna’s hands in her own, not minding as her child’s new blades tore open her arms and caused her to bleed. “Ｓｈｈ．．．ｉｔ ｗｉｌｌ ａｌｌ ｂｅ ｏｖｅｒ ｓｏｏｎ． Ａｎｄ ｔｈｅｎ ａｌｌ ｔｈｅ ｐａｉｎ ｗｉｌｌ ｇｏ ａｗａｙ． Ｙｏｕ ｗｉｌｌ ｂｅ ｆｒｅｅ．”

“ Lanna gasped through her new elongated mouth full of rock-like teeth.

“ Ｙｏｕ ｗｉｌｌ ｂｅ ｏｎｅ ｏｆ ａ ｋｉｎｄ． Ｎｏ ｌｏｎｇｅｒ ｂｏｕｎｄ ｔｏ ｗｈａｔ ｈｕｍａｎｓ ｔｈｉｎｋ ｏｆ ｙｏｕ． Ａｎｄ ｙｏｕ ｗｉｌｌ ｂｅｌｏｎｇ ｔｏ ｍｅ． Ｉ ｗｉｌｌ ｍａｋｅ ｓｕｒｅ ｙｏｕ ｎｅｖｅｒ ｆｅｅｌ ｐａｉｎ ａｇａｉｎ． Ｔｈｏｓｅ ｔｈａｔ ｈｕｒｔ ｙｏｕ ｗｉｌｌ ｐａｙ， Ｉ ｐｒｏｍｉｓｅｄ， ｄｉｄｎ＇ｔ Ｉ？” Lanna nodded, her tears slowly drying. “Ｉ ＡＬＷＡＹＳ ｋｅｅｐ ｍｙ ｐｒｏｍｉｓｅｓ， ｎｕｕｒ ｉｌ－＇ｅｎ．”

“ Lanna asked. Through the haze of pain and the loss of an old life, something in her had latched on to Ashlesha and established her as not only a holy one, but also a mother.

Ashlesha pressed her forehead against Lanna’s, giving her a tender kiss. “Ａｌｌ Ｉ ａｓｋ ｉｎ ｒｅｔｕｒｎ ｎｕｕｒ ｉｌ－＇ｅｎ ｉｓ ｔｈａｔ， ｗｈｅｎ ｔｈｅ ｔｉｍｅ ｃｏｍｅｓ， ｙｏｕ ｄｏ ａｓ Ｉ ａｓｋ． Ｏｔｈｅｒ ｔｈａｎ ｔｈａｔ， ｙｏｕ ａｒｅ ｆｒｅｅ ｔｏ ｂｒｉｎｇ ａｂｏｕｔ ｊｕｓｔｉｃｅ ａｓ ｙｏｕ ｓｅｅ ｆｉｔ．”

“

Ashlesha raised one of Lanna’s hands and gestured to the blades poking from her wrists and arms. “Ｔｈｉｓ ｗａｓ ｏｎｃｅ ａ ｂｒａｎｄ； ｎｏｗ ｉｔ ｉｓ ａ ｇｉｆｔ． Ｍａｋｅ ｕｓｅ ｏｆ ｉｔ ａｓ ｙｏｕ ｓｅｅ ｆｉｔ．”

“ What could be described as a smile  creeped across Lanna’s face.

Ashlesha nodded and let go of Lanna, who stood up and looked at her new form. “
Ｎｏｗ ｗｈｙ ｄｏｎ＇ｔ ｗｅ ｇｏ ｈｏｍｅ ｎｕｕｒ ｉｌ－＇ｅｎ．” Hand-in-hand, the monster and the maker walked into the realm of the twisted and disturbed, leaving behind a trail of blood and gore, a smile on Ashlesha’s face that was far more sinister than it seemed to her new lusus naturae.

Newborns were so easy to manipulate.

I only see three panels of these police officers and I already want to know everything about them omg

uovoc:

Aaah, I’ve got a bunch of little snapshots planned, so I’ma save most of the details for those. But the main premise:

Officer Matthews (wide) and Officer Card (not as wide) tend to get stuck with all the preternatural cases that come through the station. Why? They don’t know. Their training didn’t cover this. Yeesh, you take one call about a cult and suddenly you’ve got a reputation as the resident preter experts. 

“Matthews, I miss the days when we could bust a few graffiti artists and call it good.”

“Me too, Card. Me too. Now do me a favor and get this kappa off my leg.”

I feel like Dipper would use magic to physically hide his birthmark (since it’s a huge clue to his true name), but maybe some particular kinds of magic makes it reappear and glow… hmm…

#always reblog#?#also rn i’m feeling a ‘history repeats itself’ vibe from this#because of the word ‘clue’#i want some 12 year old to start opposing Alcor and his greying morality in the same way Dipper would oppose Bill#(as opposed to just being pro-nat/a rational HOLY SHIT A DEMON person)#the only issue is that Alcor is waaay stronger than Bill and not even the top demonologists can limit Alcor#so what the fuck is a 12 year old gonna do#maybe the 12 year old grows up to become a leading demonologist or smth idk demo-ness
