“Dad.”
“Hmm?”
“Can we have a braid train?” Tyrone Pines, aka Alcor the Dreambender, turned to face gleaming puppy-dog eyes.
“Um. Sure?” Maddie cheered.
“TOBY! HE SAID OKAY!”
And that is the story of why Alcor wore glittery braids to his next summon. As for Maddie, she nearly refused to take down her braids to wash her hair. And as for Toby, Alcor managed to get tiny braids in. Maddie approved.
That is also why devout followers of Alcor the Dreambender wear glitter braids on Father’s Day.
(In the braid train Toby wove Maddie’s hair and Maddie wove Alcor’s, who was then convinced to braid Toby’s rather short hair. It took less than a second of convincing.)

this probably looks creepy af but where can i download a tiny toby
Look deep in your heart and he will be there.
No, literally, take your heart out of your chest and dissect it to find a tiny toby.
Don’t worry, we can wait
Toby learns how to knit when he is young, and when he’s finished with his first big project, a sweater, doesn’t understand why Alcor locks himself in his room for a while. Then, when Maddie is old enough, he teaches her how to knit. She’s a natural.

And that’s how Alcor found out about Mizar/Cipher shippers. The end.
(I dunno if Maddie actually looks like that, but that’s how I’ve always headcanoned her. Also featuring Toby in a retro 90s jacket.)
Toby has been described as living sugar, but sugar, while sweet and all, is actually poison to the human body. It’s also very addictive. So in Toby’s case, he unintentionally poisons how Dipper views Bill, to the point where he actually cares about him. He’s probably saved the lives of a few of his less than nice reincarnations because of this
.
Idk what i like more, if the hc that Toby uses ridiculous and adorable swears (like ‘Alcor’s top hat’ or ‘glitter and bowties’) or that he curses like a sailor. Though imagining Dipper’s face after he hears him curse up a storm for the first time is really hilarious (probably a mix between ‘offended soccer mom’, ‘scandalized middle aged woman’ and a bewildered ‘i didn’t teach him that’ deer stare)
Oh my god Dipper the Offended Soccer Mom YAS
Swearing anon again: Toby accidentally using ‘For Alcor’s bow-tie and buttwings’ as a swearword in one occasion tho. And then the ‘buttwings’ thing sticks in his brain and he ends up using ‘Alcor’s buttwings’ on a semi-daily basis (and years later Maddie hears it. And it sticks with her too. Toby is too busy laughing at Dipper’s face when Maddie says it for the first time to worry about Dipper getting pissed at him for (accidentally) swearing in front of Maddie).
This HC is too precious to be allowed
HC: Initially once the cat’s out of the bag, Maddie is a little ticked at both Dipper and Toby (and anyone else who knew) for keeping the truth about her dad from her for ten years. Of course she gets over it and forgives them soon enough… but not before making them do an apology song-and-dance video together.
Double points if Toby gets really really into it and Dipper just wants to die.
HC: Toby was born on the day that marks the Anniversary of the Transcendence
Because of course
Goodbye, Kid.
based on the headcanon that Toby died protecting Maddie
(this turned out much longer than I planned)
brb gross sobbing
