A pebble hit him on the head.

Dipper ignored it. 

Another pebble, this time somehow getting into his mouth.

The pebble lodged in his throat, and even though he hadn’t needed to breathe in a few millenia, Dipper still chocked on the pebble. Legs and arms flailing, he fell off the couch and with a thunk landed on the floor.

Horking out the pebble, Dipper pushed himself up to glare at his assailant.

“What the f̵̳u̱̮c̝̻̝͍̭̗k̪̞̰̙̮͡ Tora?”

She beamed at him, completely blase. 

“Hey Alcor.”

“What?”

“Alcor.”

“Yes?”

“Alcor.”

W̢̳͈̗͙͙h̳͈à͈͍t͉̩̝̦?̜̙͡!̞ͅ

With the biggest, shit eating grin on her face, Torako asked, “Did you hear about the guy whose whole left side was cut off?”

What the fuck?

“Um. No. Why-”

Giggles bursting through, Torako barely managed to say,  “He’s all right now!” before collapsing into laughter on the floor, clutching her sides with mirth.

Dipper felt his eye twitch.

“That’s a terrible pun,” he pointed out.

“Yeah…” Torako managed to say through her laughter, “but you still fell for it!”

Bentley, who had been doing some homework at the table, piped in. “She’s got a point.”

Dipper scowled.

“Why do I put up with you two again?”

Torako rolled over to him on the floor and plopped her head on his lap. “Because you love us.”

Fuck. 

In Bently’s time, what are video games like? Could I write in one of my fics that there are game-spaces, which are like a combination of pocket dimensions and virtual gaming; people get powers and walk around and everything sounds, feels, looks, etc. real, but there are motions or commands that people can do that let them pause and exit the game and no physical effects remain on them.

Mod K approves of this idea, but would like to add that she (personally) thinks that game-spaces might be more commercialized than private, like arcades or laser tag. You can have one if you’re super rich, but it’s pretty uncommon. Torako’s dads probably had to deal with little Torako throwing a fit when they decided to put in the garden space rather than a game-space. Otherwise, go for it!!

Does Dipper ever explain/show Bentley the birthmark on his forehead?? Or do both he and Torako assume “Dipper” was his name from the beginning?

Mod K here! I’m sure that the birthmark comes up at some point, especially in their college days when they’re literally living together. At this point, Dipper really is Alcor’s name–it’s the name that matters, at least, and Bentley (and Torako!) are satisfied.

I mean, things have changed in two millennia, Dipper could have totally been a legitimate name in the early 2000s!

Um. Um. how about. Tora or Ben or Alcor (or any combo thereof!!) in. Gosh. in fanmade korato x alcor shirts. or things. Or maybe flower crowns because flower crowns are A+ good things.

Poor kid!!!!!!! He really just can’t catch a break!

(Bentley agreed to wear the shirt in public after Dipper ate all of his secret candy stash he WAS TOTALLY SAVING AND NOT HOARDING and he needed a means for some good ol revenge)

Flower crowns coming up next!!!~~~~~

What’s Lata’s experience like, growing up as a Pines (and very likely with Grunkle Dipper pretty much fawning over them all the time)? Can we see some Bentley and Lata interactions? I bet they’re adorable together. Do they act like really cute siblings or cousins? (Like. Bentley is close to Dipper, is he practically considered a Pines? Is Bentley like extended family to this generation of Pines, especially after Lata?)

Mod K here!

I haven’t been able to do nearly as much with Lata as I would like to. They’re absolutely fawned over–their parents are strict, but fair and loving, but they do end up a tiny bit spoiled because of Uncle Dipper and Aunt Torako. Uncle Bentley gives in too easily at first, but he learns quickly enough to tell when Lata’s playing him haha. 

Bentley is absolutely considered a pines, especially by Dipper. Torako manages to weasel her way in there as well; she doesn’t ever take a Pines name, and neither does Bentley, but they’re still family. And Lata’s parents, as can be inferred, accept all there of them as extended relations, though they take a while to completely come around.

I’m so tired you guys how many times am I going to reread TAU fics late at night help. 
Would this be possible? Technically no I doubt Dipper would allow someone to sneak up on him like that. Is this amusing anyway? Well, it was to me.
My hand is on fire please kill me :’)
