What kinds of careers/lives do Wendy’s friends end up having? I always imagined Nate became a teacher, but I’ve never thought about the others.

Robbie: high school band teacher. Somehow matures into having an Aizawa vibe as a teacher, which is the true miracle.

Lee: Goes to film school, becomes a director for basically every genre television show to hit the CW or Fox for the rest of his life.

Tambry: Rules over a cell phone repair kiosk/storefront empire that eventually covers the tri-state area. 

Wendy: Demon hunter, and occasional motivational speaker. (do not ever refer to these events as motivational speaking in her presence however)

Thompson: starts out getting his MBA like his parents wanted, but drops out and opens a horse ranch. To everyone’s surprise, it is highly successful. Eventually has two Triple Crown winners come out of his stables.

Robbie the Reluctant Role Model

phenyxsnest:

Based on a request for Robbie/twin interactions with Robbie as the world’s most reluctant role model.

On AO3 // On FF.net

Robbie Valentino and the Pines family had a somewhat complicated relationship.

They could stand each other, which was an improvement, but there was baggage on both sides.

So in general, they avoided each other. Or at least, Robbie avoided the sister, since the brother wasn’t exactly…around all the time. He’d never admit it, but a lot of that was guilt, for how he and Dipper had felt about each other while Dipper had been…had been human.

Until Wendy read him the riot act.

That wouldn’t have been enough except, well, Wendy was right, and he was treating the currently sixteen year old Mabel a lot like the people back in Piedmont had, and it took about five seconds of watching her after Wendy had yanked his head back out of his ass to realize it hurt the kid.

And maybe Robbie felt just a little bit guilty. Fine, the kids had been, well, kids when all the personal biz went down, and he was being silly for holding a grudge. Mabel had always been kind of okay, if a bit too loud and rainbow for him. And she’d really gone out of her way to set him up with Tambry…

Ugh. Growing up was the worst. He had to, like, care about other people’s feelings now. Or at least he had to or be the asshole, and be self aware enough now to realize he was being one.

Robbie and the Dead

flying-guinea-pig:

My addition to
the TAU Birthday Ficathon! This fic is set about two years after the
Transcendence. Warning for a bit more cursing than my usual fics.

AO3 link.

Robbie and the Dead

His plate of
breakfast was cooling in front of him as he stared at his coffee.

It was dark.
Not as dark as the void between the stars, which was at least a dramatic kind
of darkness. Instead it was dark as the night, now ruined by the pollution of
the street lights into a murky kind of brownish grey…

Robbie stirred
the sugar cube in. It crumbled and dissolved – just like his life. Ugh. Why did everything suck so much?

Here he was,
in the big city. Finally making a name for himself. Just he and his guitar,
like he’d always dreamed. Having breakfast in a shitty diner. All by himself.

“Hey
dude. Small world, isn’t it?”

Someone
dropped into the chair across from him. He gaped at her for a moment.
“Wendy?”

Is it too obvious to ask for tau headcanons?

marypsue:

The underappreciated characters edition!

1. Melody gets really, really good at practical magic. Minor everyday spells to help out around the house, kind of thing. Anyone with aches and pains goes to her for cures (even if the cure is sometimes ‘get outside and walk more, you lazy butt’), she’s never caught without an umbrella, her kitchen always smells nice. She has an Understanding with the local fair folk and can occasionally be found sitting out on a picnic blanket with Mabel and several odd shimmers that look like people if you catch them out of the corner of your eye, commiserating about how annoyingly reluctant unicorns are to provide bits of their bodies for potion ingredients. She also makes a mean tiramisu.

2. One of Fiddleford’s robots gains sentience in the aftermath of the Transcendence. Tate is secretly a little jealous of the attention it gets at first, but quickly learns that nothing brings father and son together like teaching a ten-ton robot with the mental ability of a six-year-old not to step on people.

3. Post-Transcendence, a lot of ‘normal’ people start looking deeper into the weird family legends that imply they might have some supernatural heritage, and others start coming out about the supernatural heritage they already know runs in their family. Turns out Tambry has a gorgon somewhere back in her family tree – hence, her tendency to avoid direct eye contact. 

4. Candy, as we all know, opens a weapons shop in town eventually, which has the largest and most diverse range of anti-supernatural devices probably in the world for a good while. Despite the fact that Wendy’s weapon of choice is always her axe, after her star starts to rise as ‘Wendy Corduroy, Demon Hunter’, she has an endorsement deal with Candy’s for a while that sees her provided with prototypes of Candy’s latest designs for free so long as she tests them in the field. Wendy cuts the deal off after the third time she has to regrow her eyebrows.

5. Robbie is not, in fact, a zombie.

But both his parents do start dabbling in necromancy – at first just to put the zombies in the graveyard back to permanent sleep, and then because reanimation is a fun party trick and if the zombies won’t stay buried, the least they can do is help out around the house.

Some transcendence au headcanons I might do something with in the future:

-Dipper playing with niblings trying to play fight him (I.e., kids going “rawr!” and attempting to rough house with him, think kittens and their parents) and he’s just giving them the most dramatic reactions (unnecessarily falling over, “oh no!! I’ve been attacked by a nibling, what ever will I do?!” etc). Bonus points if he has to keep up with more than one kid at once. Bonus bonus points if he names and announces their attacks as if they’re in a Pokemon battle.

-You know how some kids will work together to cover your eyes and try to get into stuff they’re not supposed to? Dipper is the best target, they think, until they realize he has his third eye open. He’s then considered a cheater at the “game,” but he’s not about to let one of the kids get hurt. But he’s also an uncle, so as long as it’s something harmless like candy he probably won’t stop them all of the time.

-The uncles have a secret scoreboard of who’s won or lost play fights with the kids, gotten them to laugh the most that week, etc. Imagine the guys hanging out with the bragging rights of that week being “well they made me a flower crown so that means I’ve broken the tie this week, gentlemen.” All in good fun. So Dipper, Stan, Ford, Soos, and possibly Robbie (I like that HC of him being a sort of brother figure to the twins). Maybe Gideon too, if he gets redeemed later after the whole Jeremiah thing. Goodness only knows what Dipper’s score is when Mabel finds out about it, but it’s probably something that ties in with his World’s Okayest Uncle sweater.

-Dipper keeps the scoreboard for a long time after everyone passes away as a reminder of the good things he can do. He makes a new one every time he winds up as someone’s uncle and he has another person to challenge, if the other party is up for it.

Alexis

marypenelope:

K, so I actually wrote this way back in October, but I didn’t want to post it during the anniversary and then I forgot once that was all over with. But since it’s apparently GodMod’s bday, I figured I might as well.

BTW, for anyone who’s wondering: Danny is an r!Robbie.

Thinking back, it’s ridiculously easy to pinpoint the exact
moment all this demon nonsense started.

Picture this: I’m 10 years old. Just old enough to start
being curious about demons despite being afraid, and just young enough not to
realize that the two aren’t mutually exclusive.

Back then, my best friend was a girl named Alexis. She
was… different than most of the people I knew at that time.

See, Alexis lived two streets away from my own, in an area
most people referred to as ‘Creepville’. To be honest, it was a fairly accurate
title. The houses were from straight out of a horror movie – all Victorian and
in various stages of decay. Alexis’ house in particular looked like it was
haunted… and it probably was. Needless to say, the place was pretty popular
on Halloween. Not so much the rest of the year.

Her parents didn’t really help either. Lisa and Fredrick –
who always insisted I call them by their first names – were eccentric, wealthy,
and incredibly distant. Alexis was almost always over at my house, because
otherwise she was sitting in her room alone while her parents worked in the
basement. The two of them had devoted their lives to studying the Transcendence
and the supernatural. I’m not sure what they studied exactly, but I know it was
pretty complicated stuff.

Regardless, I didn’t really care about it back then. In my
opinion, Lisa and Fredrick made good chocolate chip cookies, so who cared if
they were weird and stand-offish and studied strange things?
