The town of Gravity Falls was torn when Mabel finished her story of what had happened so far that day.
There was sympathy that Dipper was suffering, but there was anger,
too, that he was dragging them into it, even if he was apparently
unwilling and unconscious of doing it.And beneath the anger, ran worry, for themselves and for Dipper, that only made everyone more anxious, angrier and more afraid.
They were arguing amongst each other about what to do and what was
going on as soon as Mabel had finished, getting louder by the minute and
ignoring the Pines.One of the Flock butted against Mabel’s side, and she stumbled into her daughter’s side with an ‘oomph’.
Most of the Flock (and there were a lot of them now, more than Bill
had ever had, and it was looking like he was going to have more than any
demon before, according to a mostly proud, slightly worried Dipper)
were moving to line the walls and cluster around the weakest points of
the building, while a smaller cluster stood nearby and watched the Pines
family (and adopted family) with worrying intensity.

Oh, haha, I kinda wanted to write something where Toby was a demonologist because… just… imagine the shenanigans that would happen. Demons are summoned by Toby and they’re just like ‘A child with Bill Cipher’s soul?? aND ALCOR’S MARK?! no nope I’m out’ and they just poof away. (this is the anon who asked about Toby’s occupation btw)
You absolutely still can write that though! Canon is a pretty loose and fast thing around here, and we’d love to see the thing!
Alcor, Souls, and The Future
AO3He stared at the tape, and tapped it. “What is this?”
“It’s an ancient video recording. Only 50 dollars.”
Alcor stared at it. On one hand, he had way too much junk in his hat. (When was the last time he emptied it out again…?)
On the other hand, however, he didn’t really have much to lose.
He reached in his shirt, and grabbed out his infinite wallet, giving him a hundred dollar bill. “Keep the change.”
The guy simply shrugged, and took it. “Thanks dude.”
“No problem.“
Alcor blipped over to the house, in the middle of a episode of ‘Acquaintances’– One of The Flock’s favorite sit-coms.
“Hey guys, mind if I borrow the TV?” He asked.
The Flock – specifically Missy, Not Our Future, Devil’s Child, Curses, and Bananas, – groaned. Some dully accepted Alcor’s request, others whined.
“B̺̹̣̺͇̟u̙͉͞t̸̖̭̭ w͏ͅe͕͎̳̫͠ ̻̭j͔͚͞u̳̙s̺̟̠͇t̴̘͙ g̘o͇̲̺t̟͠ ͎̞̰̙͍͈̟ṯ̱̖ͅo̳̬͔̗͎̲̞ ̝̪̥̱t͇͍͈h̡̪̦̘̹̱̰e̝͕̘͇̞͈͉ ̢̳̜͚g̨͈o͍̪̪͡o̡d̘̮̭̬ ͖̖̕ͅp̷̪̩̼̞̝̞a̧̞̱̜r̡͉̫̦̮͖̦̤t̙̼͕̝!̤̬” Sauron complained.“Guys, you can literally watch this anytime you want. I can turn this on at the exact moment you left it.”
The Flock mumbled, upset, but they knew Alcor was right. The balls of fluff and emotions slowly trickled out the door, until only a few dreams were left, namely Star, Incandescence, and Quiet.
“We’ll watch it with you.” Incandescence said.
Alcor got up, and slipped the tape in, and it clicked, flickering on. Bright colors flooded the screen. Alcor’s eyes widened, and he stopped breathing as grinning characters and pastel colors filled the TV. and a star leaped across the screen, words in cursive labelling the show.
“Mizar The Magnificent.”
Does Toby have any occupation in particular?
Toby of the Dinner Crew works for pay as a demolitionist. He also has a side job as a percussionist in a symphony, as he’s pretty good at keeping a beat. He actually wanted to learn to play the flute but never quite got the hang of it for some reason.
Toby Pines is, at least at one time, an assistant at the Grenda von Fundhauser Wildlife Reserve. He rescues and rehabilitates sick and injured wildlife in the area of Gravity Falls, plus the occasional stray. Volunteered there for years as a teen and young adult before getting certification for the job and being picked up as a paid employee.
I like hc that Toby has really crooked teeth and needs braces.
He gets little sky blue stones to decorate his braces too.
A Children’s Book of Bills
Based on this post… but sillier. It’s best to imagine it with Edward Gorey images.
Bill Cipher was a trickster,
he was stuffed in human skins,
Alcor can keep his eye out,
but Cipher always wins.
*
Ian was a creator,
he loved to make cartoons,
his soul got him taken,
by top government goons
*
Toby was a sweetheart
who burned out his own eye.
Never darkened any doorway
but he still had to die.
*
Now Chrys she was selfish,
Alcor enjoyed her rage.
She made herself a Mizar
on the Sentient Stage.
*
Jude was full of bluster,
she needed better care.
Alcor knew how to help her
as long as she can’t swear.
*
Enoby was all enthusiasm,
I’m certain they’ll be fine.
When the world is out to get them
they can write their truth online.
*
Each lifetime forms a link
in the chain around this soul.
Bill may still be winning
but he’s not in control.
Adding to the new Bill Transdimentional Arc AU fic prompt. This Bill turns out to actually become (somehow) not so much friends, but aquaintences at least to the point where they got along enough to pull pranks on each other and not want to try to kill each other every five nanoseconds.
It’s the weirdest, most nervewracking thing ever. Dipper was more or less used to the whole Bill-reincarnated-as-a-human thing, even if there was the occasional day of doubt when he waited on tenterhooks, wondering if or when the demon might resurface in Toby as he did in Ian. But a nicer alternate dimension Bill?
What the heck?
The worst part about it in many ways is that Bill, unlike Toby, can feasibly follow him anywhere, even into the Mindscape.
Fic Prompt: Transdimensional arc au where a Bill (who is thankfully not as sadistic as the others) figures out dimension hopping and gets stuck with Alcor for awhile until he can recharge. Bonus points if its during the time that Alcor is Toby’s guardian.
How many Transdimensional arc AUs do we have now? There’s the original, then there’s the versions where Toby comes along, plus a handful of other transdimensional suggestions here and there…
Ah, what’s one more? As long as it’s an AU of the arc instead of adding more dimension hopping to the standard storyline I think we’re good…
Plausible Deniability
AN: So basically, I saw this,
and wanted to cheer Toby up a bit.
Toby sat listlessly on the couch, his one good eye staring
blankly at the late-night movie he had cued up, not really taking in any of it. He chewed mechanically on some popcorn; it really
tasted like nothing to him right now, but he didn’t want to waste it.Something soft and scaly nuzzled him on his blind side. Toby looked over and saw Madame Xqsurqrxqfhdeoh,
his Flock babysitter for the evening, on the couch beside him. Her central stalk eye met his human one,
giving him an almost questioning look, while the other two were fixed on the
popcorn bag.Wordlessly, Toby offered the bag to her, and she began
happily munching with all three of her mouths, though her stalk eye stayed dutifully
on him.Toby managed a weak smile, and reached over to run a hand
through her dark wool (she obligingly retracted her spines). For how alien the Flock often seemed, Toby had
always found it amazing how empathetic they could be.He was glad that she was here, he really was; but even with
the comfort of her presence, he still couldn’t help feeling miserable.This day had just been…what was that archaic term Alcor
sometimes used?Oh, yeah: crappy.
Alcor the demon? Oh sorry, you misheard me, I had said Alcor the demom. Toby get dressed we have to be at this doctor’s appointment in 10. Maddie please eat your vegetables I see you trying to hide them. Acacia you get out of that massive tree right now how did you even get up there. C’mon kid who was almost sacrificed we’re going to your new home you’re safe now. Yes ma’am of course I’ll take your baby and keep them safe what do you take me for some kind of- oh. Right.
#i love this au so much#we tried to make this super edgy au and it’s literally just Dipper being The Biggest Dad half the time
