All Aboard the Braid Train!

alittlechildforever:

“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.)

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
