How would Ian feel about his other incarnations?

marypsue:

I’m gonna assume you mean his other human incarnations because…well, because I can, mostly.

Ian would be endlessly amused by Toby. Something tells me that the cinnamon bun would be entirely too easy to feed misinformation to, and would not always get right off the bat when something was being said sarcastically or in a deliberately ironic manner. Combine that with the fact that Ian doesn’t so much deadpan as smile all the time, and you have a recipe for trolling. (However, as it is completely against the laws of the known universe to hate Toby, he would also probably end up in a weird kind of big-brother-y position. Also, he would probably try to debate philosophy with the cinnamon bun at some point. Dunno how that would turn out.)

He would love the shit out of Saphira, since she is basically exactly like him as a tiny child, and thus would end up being right smack-dab in the middle of the target audience for Mizar the Magnificent. (I don’t know if there’s any other information about her; haru-no-hikaru is more than welcome to weigh in if they have more headcanons about her as she gets older, but I’m picturing her as a lot like Wednesday Addams.) I feel like they would be the most terrible pair of pranksters.

There don’t seem to be any other named Bill reincarnations that I can find, but I can tell you that Ian would be REALLY UNCOMFORTABLE for reasons he can’t quite explain around any of them who’re into cults and demons, and would probably have both disapproving looks and a whole bunch of burning questions for any of the flat-out evil ones. (Hey, he’s a writer-of-sorts, it’s…reference.)

“Toby, this is Maddie. Also Mizar. As in my sister. And daughter now, I guess.”

Maddie blinked. Toby blinked. A vague sense of awkwardness descended upon the scene.

“I’ll be back in the morning, okay? As soon as the Halloween summonings are over.”

Alcor held Maddie out to Toby, who accepted the toddler. Alcor fidgeted. Toby had… abandonment issues, sometimes. In his deepest nightmares Toby had no one to rely on. Would he feel like Alcor is replacing him for a new kid with a soul that brings better memories? Maddie made eye contact.

“I dub thee Cinnamon Bun!” Toby raised her up.

“She’s adorable.” Toby smiled. “Don’t worry Alcor, she’s in good hands. Did Maddie have dinner yet?”

“Yeah, just give her a bath, brush her teeth and have her in bed by eight. You be good, okay Maddie?”

“Okay!”

“Bye Maddie. See you two tomorrow!”

“Bye!” Alcor blipped out. Toby put Maddie down.

“Wanna play with the teacup griffins?”

Surprisingly, no cults attempted to kidnap either of them. Halloween went without a hitch. Toby had to use half a bar of soap to get the griffin smell off of Maddie, which to Maddie was worth play wrestling with those adorable little teacup griffins.

Unsurprisingly, Maddie and Toby fell asleep cuddled together with a picture book. Alcor took one look at the scene before taking out a camera. Toby was a good babysitter, he thought. The writing on the back of the photo would read “My kids Toby and Maddie, Halloween.

Hc: when maritza and maddie start dating, mar gets to know Toby very well. Maddie introduces him as her big brother, and Toby is struck with emotion like a slap in the face, because Mizar is like Alcor’s twin, or his daughter. His real family, deeper even than biological. Toby was already essentially family. Alcor had broken down and started giving him real affection long ago, but if Toby is Mizar’s brother then that makes it official. For real. Deeper than biological and maybe for eternity.

I need Toby babysitting Maddie to be a real thing. Alcor needing to go answered a summoning and being all “I’m not doing this because I trust you there was just no one else to call” and Toby’s really touched that he lets him take care of Mizar. Maddie wants something from Alcor and he’s like no, I’m not buying that for you and then Toby brings up all those stuffed animals Al used to buy for him when he was younger and the demon just glares, because now he has to buy it for her.

OE NOE MAH FEELS

Someone (maybe Toby?) adopts this lil kitten and Alcor’s like uGH A CAT but the person defends the kitten because “It got blinded and we have to take care it” so Alcor calms down because hey maybe the blind cat can’t see him and keep looking at him while he’s in the mindscape? But when the kitten is recovered froms its accident, it starts following Alcor around even when he’s doing mindscape things and he’s like w h y
