Day 8
Here’s some of the characters I’m sad I couldn’t give a day to themselves. This is also the very first time I draw most of them, and that was fun.

Everyone, take a long moment and stare at yourself in the mirror. Knock on the glass. Did it knock back? No? Damn. I knew my mirror was cursed. I’d never call myself a melancholy magnet. That’s silly and completely unlike me. I’m more like……a melancholy oasis. Drink from the water of sorrow and take a bite out of happy cornbread while you sit in between. The happy sadness.
Sorry about that, my poor viewers, but I really needed to know if all mirrors were like. Maybe I’m losing my mind……Ha. I never had a grip on that anyways. I’m Lars Blueblood and I’m here with the news.
If you are still taking prompts maybe something with Henry or the triplets?
How about something with Henry AND the triplets – and Mabel!
…
It wasn’t all magic and adventure and weirdness and life-or-death stakes; sometimes it was just lying around in the living room (which, though small, was always somehow just big enough for everyone to feel comfortable, even when it was holding seven Pines, Soos the honorary Pines, Candy, Grenda, Grenda’s slightly shellshocked-looking but smiling boyfriend, Candy’s arsenal, a loudly complaining Pacifica, Wendy hogging half a couch to herself, and Waddles Junior the Second) watching old episodes of The Price Is Trite and new episodes of Viewer Discretion Advised, depending on whether or not Stan would relinquish the remote and how guilty Mabel was feeling about not being a responsible enough mother that week.
But life in Gravity Falls – life with his family – would never lose its charm for Henry, its mystery (‘Hank, what are you looking a- oh. Oh, wow, your new friend sure is…slimy’), its adventure (‘Acacia no Acacia sweetheart don’t brING THE FIRECRACKERS INSIDE -’), its danger (‘Will, it’s nice of you to offer and I know you’ll be able to cut around my antlers but, uh, I don’t think I really need a haircut yet’), or, of course, its weirdness (‘Henry Henry Henry Henry Henry! Look, I shaved all of our initials into the side of my head! It’s a symbol of our family! Don’t worry, it’ll totally grow out before that speaking thing…ie at that college next week!’).
And Henry wouldn’t have it any other way.
Series finale of the Mizar anime. (AKA a more serious continuation of these joke screencaps.)
In this version, the main villain (who’d just been a side character in Twin Souls) ended up being Atlantica – demoness, mistress of the sea, and an old flame of Alcor’s.
(The big reveal all happened in the series finale, much to the shock and embarrassment of Pacifica, who’d secretly funded the final season because she knew how much the show annoyed Dipper. Mabel, of course, found the whole thing hilarious.)
Why are there never any Pacifica reincarnations? Seriously, tho, I haven’t seen even one in this AU. We need some more R!Pacifica action. Like maybe a Paz stands in for Mizar when Mizar’s not alive, or something.
That said, more are most definitely welcome. R!Pacifica open season!
alright, i wanted to colour them before i posted them, but that would have taken forever and i really need to get them ALL out into the open instead of just r!henry and r!mabel, aha ¯_(ツ)_/¯
anyway, im now semi-oc trash, thanks to the @transcendence-au whoops;;
if anyone’s interested in knowing more about my r!’s, feel free to ask! i can’t do any fancy posts since i’m on mobile, but i do want to talk about my children, aha;;;
☆from left to right in the lineup/height charts, we have— [under a readmore for brevity]
Look at these r!babies!
Three questions: 1) Do Pacifica or Robbie have any reincarnations? 2) Is Toby in the Transdimensional Arc or not? 3) WHY ARE ALL THE AU’S OF THIS AU SO FREAKING DEPRESSING?!
1) We have Atlas, an r!Pacifica, and Atlantica enjoyed a very brief vogue, and once upon a time there was a futuristic soldier r!Robbie drabble which Mod O cannot now find, plus this nameless one, and maybe some others we can’t recall…but otherwise we don’t have much for either Pacificia or Robbie as reincarnations, most likely due to minor-character-syndrome among fic writers. We do welcome more fic about these forgotten ones. 🙂
2) Original Transdimensional arc – no, no Toby there. Original Transdim involves Alcor alone intentionally traversing dimensions for the very important reason of thwarting another, more extreme and vicious Bill Cipher’s plans for the universe. He doesn’t dimension hop much otherwise.
The Toby variant you have likely seen started out as a vague suggestion: Toby falling through a mysterious dimensional rift by accident, Alcor initially considering just leaving him wherever he ended up (no more Bill soul!) and then just sighing and following him through because no, no he can’t do that. Freaking kid.
It then snowballed somewhat, leading to the idea that the dimension Toby fell into was essentially that of Transdimensional arc, simply for the enjoyment of Toby as well as Alcor interacting with regular Dipper and Mabel and co. with the added bonus of Bill finding out about a very interesting new soul from another universe – a new soul which (kind of, sort of) is his own.
So in a way, we have two Transdimensional arcs, one of which is sort of a Toby AU arc?
And 3) Honestly, TAU itself has its depressing undercurrents tied directly into its core precept (i.e. Dipper becomes an immortal demon), so it’s not too much of a surprise that its AUs would continue that trend if not worsen it in some way or other. But Daemon AU is pretty much fun with fluffy animals added on (and we even went with the variant where Dipper keeps his Daemon instead of destroying it – you’re welcome!), so there’s that at least!
Meat Cute, 9/9

Several thank yous are in store now that this is finally finished! Thank you @zilleniose-chu for being a wonderful human being, for creating TAU and the blog, and letting us all play with your idea babies. Thank you @marypsue for all of your amazing writing advice and help, not to mention letting me spaz on you on the reg. Thank you anon on the blog who sent in these two asks and let me use ideas from them. Thank you @randumbdaze for the art and thank you to the rest of the mods for letting me moan and groan at you.
And of course, thank you, my readers, for actually reading! I never would have imagined a year ago how big this would get or that people would want to read about my babies! So thank you, thank you again, and happy anniversary!

As Henry explained
to the triplets when they asked years later, he had never officially moved in
to the Shack. He had never asked and Mabel had never offered. It was just
assumed that it would be a thing that happened.So by the first month of them going out Henry had a toothbrush in Mabel’s
bathroom, and some of his underwear and socks in a small folded pile on a chair
in her room. Five months and some of his favorite books had found their way
onto various side tables and shelves. His stays went from overnight to two or
three nights, to a week at a time, and Uncle Tyler constantly giggled at him
and told him to “Get it!” (Which in turn made both Henry and Uncle Dan blush.)Henry went ahead and moved the remainder of his stuff into the Shack three days
after he proposed to Mabel, when a brand new room appeared overnight on the
side of the Shack.
One Year Anniversary
It’s a year after the end of the world and Mabel Pines is talking to herself.
Because most everyone things she’s been talking to herself, thinks her mourning has turned to chatter, and only now when she’s in Gravity Falls again is it true.
Because Dipper was summoned somewhere far away and her Grunkles would worry if they knew. So she continues to talk to him with him despite everything. Right now he’s letting her win at checkers. He’s so thoughtful that way.
Mabel loves her family with the intensity of a forest fire.
It’s a year after the end of the world and Stan Pines complains there’s nothing good on television anymore. It’s a year after the end of the world and Ford Pines has invented a device to allow you to watch television from any alternate timeline. The brothers watch an old Harry Claymore movie instead.
In the kitchen Soos Ramirez and Wendy Corduroy make small talk: arguments about popular music, discussions about the metaphysical implications of ghosts, romantic entanglements.
Wendy leans back in her chair. “Do you even wonder if your Mom might come back now that-”
“No way, Dude,” says Soos. “I’ve been a zombie. Not something I’d want to spread around.”
They go back to arguing about pop songs.
It’s a year after the end of the world and Pacifica Northwest has cut off all her hair to see if she’ll turn into someone else. Her head feels lighter but her face is the same. She decides she’ll have Mabel do the next makeover.
In another part of the town Candy Chiu is live tweeting her dinner with a Kumiho. The Kumiho only tries to murder her a little.
Grenda Thompson shouts at her boyfriend over the phone about her day. Her enthusiasm is loud enough that Mayor Cutebiker gives up on privacy and eavesdrops to his hearts content. He really thinks those kids are going to make it.
It’s a year after the end of the world and Dipper Pines is summoned by someone else’s wheel. And now there’s blood on the gloves he only just decided to start wearing. He could remove it, easily, but he watches it turn from bright red to dark brown against the white of them instead. He just saved twenty people. He just murdered a man.
There’s a part of Dipper delighted to discover all the things that now exist inside him. There’s a part of Dipper that will always be twelve and anxious about this face. He goes home.
It’s the end of the world and they’re still here. Still fighting.
He should be there too.
When Preston Northwest dies he leaves 67% of his fortune to Pacifica, but the rest he puts in the bank “For My Next Incarnation.”
And Pacifica can’t even be angry. Reincarnation is still so new a concept that most people don’t even believe in it yet. How natural her father should leave this lifetime with one last weirdo rich old man request. 67% is still enough to ensure she’ll never have to work a day in her life.
She’s not making a Dipper deal just to find him. The fund goes untouched for several lifetimes. It starts a trend among those who’ve made it big to leave their money to themselves instead of to charity organization or their ‘ungrateful’ children.
Lots of people start making deals with demons to remember their past lives in the hopes their might be riches waiting for them there. Most of them are disappointed.
