A friendly announcement from your local Euclidean public health authority 😁

[catzncoffee]

I don't usually repost, but! This pic literally inspired an Au and had to share it w the pic and source!!:

Steven Universe Au where Hanahaki does exist but it's rare, and is usually caught fairly early on, giving the afflicted time to either cure it Naturally or give up the love of that person when they have it removed in favor of their life. Or, the most common result, death.

No one expected that gems weren't immune to this.

In gems, as it turns out, Hanahaki is extremely hard to catch early on. Gems don't technically need to breathe, so there are only simulations of lungs for the seeds to plant in. Instead of planting in the soft tissue of the lung and growing there, it's roots spread through the gem, trying to seak out nutrients gem bodies just don't have. It starts to cause the simulation of their bodies to fall apart, makes it harder to shift, summoning weapons is suddenly exhausting. In the later stages, however, is when it gets extremely dangerous. If caught before it reaches the gem, the Hanahaki can be removed quite easily, can even be accidentally removed by being bubbled, seeing as it is only in the bodily simulation at this stage and not attached to the gem, and removal at this stage even allows the afflicted to retain their feelings (for better or worse).

Once it reaches the gem, however, the timer starts counting down. If it's only Just reached the gem, the roots can be removed and all that is left to deal with is whatever holes or cracks the roots may have begun to form in the gemstone. At this stage it is the same price for removal as a humans would be; loss of love for the one yearned for.

Past this stage, however, survival rates are extremely low.

The next stage is the roots spreading through the gem. Once this is completed there is no chance for removal, as the only thing holding the gem together at this point is the same roots that cracked it apart. Then, comes the bloom. The flowers running through the gems 'body' begin to bloom through the body simulation, finally receiving the energy they need to grow from the gem, forming outwardly visible cracks that the flowers begin to bloom from. The flowers slowly bloom throughout the body and make their way to the gem for the final stage of gem Hanahaki. The flowers inside the gemstone, usually only a bloom or two, begin to open, forcing the gem apart and shattering the gem, resulting in death.

The flowers usually will adapt to the gem they are growing from and have been known to leave behind a flower growing an earth-variant of the gem within the flowers left behind, or sometimes this can happen during the Hanahaki's initial blooming process.

Human Hanahaki is considered medically incurable only at the final stage, just before death, when the roots of the flower reach past the lungs and begin to grow into the rest of the body, usually close to or already after death.

Gem Hanahaki is considered medically incurable at the final 3 stages, once it grows past the removal point of the gemstone.

Both forms of Hanahaki are curable by confession of feelings and acceptance, or the afflicted accepting the love of another and/or releasing the current love causing the Hanahaki.

Both forms of Hanahaki can come back after removal. Once a human and/or gem has had Hanahaki, they are more susceptible to getting it again.

Pacific Rim x Rottmnt

Okay so this might be a little far fetched but-

Hear. Me. Out.

So the human government fucked with kraang tech after the apocalypse.

Because of fucking course they did.

Enter the massive fucking Monsters × Kraang DNA when they decided to try and re create the Ooze Draxum created by using the kraang blood. They thought they could use the kraang they captured alive (sister kraang) to control them. They were proven very VERY wrong when the monsters ripped apart and ate Sister Kraang in front of them.

Round two of the apocalypse, except now it's entirely the humans fault.

Humans and Yokai are forced to combine technology within their governments on the down low, both resentful of the other and committed to hiding the fact Yokai are involved from humanity.

The mechs are a result of this team up. The link in the mind field between two pilots was done by the Yokai, and they stated the rules of this spell had to be very specific. The two have to be genetically compatible, not related, just compatible. There cannot be any strain on the spell or it WILL break with bad consequences. The two pilots will be linked mind and soul, they will know every part of one another, so choose the pilots very wisely. For the first few times, they won't be linked as deeply, but once the link sets in there is no hiding.

The humans main contribution was the weaponry section of this team up. Humans are cruel and violent, and they are much smarter then the yokai gave them credit for, as the yokai come to learn. The mechs are built with weaponry mixed with magic, nuclear power cells they some how managed to contain flowing next to veins of pure magic engraved into the mech. It was terrifying and efficient.

Both groups were now far more wary of the other now that they knew how effective the other was.

The mutants, however, were an outlier in all of the secrets, much to the ire of both governments. The yokai all knew what had happened by now, they'd seen the humans be turned into something like themselves, and they simply saw them as strange outlying yokai.

Tho, the term 'Mutant' was widely considered a slur in Yokai society, so you can imagine what that said about behind the scenes opinions. That being said, they did accept them into jobs and accepted help from them.

The humans of the general population didn't know much, but the apocalypse had broadcast the 'covered up' existence of Mutants. (Specifically a certain few turtles, a rat, and some other odd sightings in NYC)

Most didn't care, or outright denied their existence along with the government, but to those who knew they were out there, the had two, and only two, reactions.

One was they thought they were weird but didn't care as long as they were useful.

The other was pure hatred.

Now mutants were not accepted in the human government so they could not be pilots (so ruled the government officials 🙄😒) and any Yokai pilot was hidden from the public, but that didn't mean it had never happened.

To be exact there has been exactly One mutant pilot who faked being a Yokai to become one. Splinter. Why wasn't he outed? Because his co pilot was Draxum.

(Rest of AU below Cut)

But Draxum made a discovery during this (that will be revealed later 😁) that was crucial to future success. Naturally, of course, what ever he told the governing bodies of both groups had him kicked out. Splinter wasn't ever discovered seeing as he slipped away after Draxum was kicked.

Now the Turtle Bois have been through it. They stopped the apocalypse. And they all have lasting trauma from that, only for the human government to create what are basically giant kraangs again. And this time they are literally not even allowed to help.

Donnie was literally connected to the fucking technodrome so he can literally hear when a new one is moving and he can't fucking stand it. He still can't eat anything slimy and rarely if ever takes his battle shell off. He now gets splitting mindgrains due to the technodrone as a side effect.

Raph is blind in one eye due to the kraang take over. He also got an extra boost to strength that he despises with every once of him. He had already been having nightmares because of the kraang forcing him to harm his brothers. Way to psychologically damage a guy. He's now terrified of his own strength, especially towards his brothers.

Mikey is an artist, and an acrobatic fighter. His hands were nearly shattered, he had to re learn how to use them, and they still have episodes where they shake or hurt. His magic awakened but he had to do so much training to just contain it that he's exhausted. He's desperately trying to comfort his brothers and dad's in a healthy way but there's only so much one turtle can do.

Then there's Leo.

Leo is in an extreme self destruction spiral and not a single one of his family members knows how bad it actually is. Why? Because he's the face man! He extends every ounce of energy he has into his latest and greatest act ever: Leo Is Perfectly Fine And Normal! And the whole world is his stage. He rarely sleeps, barely eats and has put his entire being into perfecting his portals and strategies. You need a portal? He can get you to the exact place you want in two seconds, he's absolutely become a beast in battle with his portals, and his strategies (Even all the ones he keeps hidden, and all the back up plans after back up plans, after back up-) are all working down to the last letter. Ask him when he last slept and he'll say last night ofc ( -for exactly one minute, and suddenly he was back in the prison dimension and he's dying again and WIPETHATGRINOFFY-) So don't even worry about it. (He still feels immense guilt and is absolutely convinced the apocalypse, fucking both of them, are all his fault. The mechs are holding on but for how long? They keep multiplying. Not one person in his family knows exactly how close he was to dying except for Draxum, who treated him. He genuinely hates himself and believes he shouldn't have been returned from There but needs to live to be of use to his family. )

So yeah. They aren't doing great. So during a full two years the boys fight their normal villans and a few new ones (who the fuck is Usagi any ways, whys he keep going for Leo, what's up with the samurai thing? - Donnie ) and the Mechs hold up against the Kraang Kijus that just keep appearing?!?! However no one realizes that the humans did something incredibly stupid. They cut ties with the Yokai after creating suits that wouldn't need the mind field and were more 'efficiently human'. The Yokai also were convinced they would be fine after developing a barrier to seal their city away that was 'supposedly' strong enough to hold against the Kraang Kiju. This happened only shortly after Draxum was kicked, so there are only a few depots left that have the original mechs with trained pilots.

Then the mechs the humans built start failing.

In a panic the original suits are discharged to multiple places in a frenzy, and three more are destroyed, leaving only three depots left holding genuine mechs, and all of them are furthest away from Kiju hot spots (because of fucking course the government would try and hide them away when they thought they had made something better.)

So now not only are they low on the mechs, but also pilots who can use them since most have died off.

Things kick off when April decides to go into pilot training at one of these outposts right when the human-only made mechs begin to fail and she learns to true nature of what's been happening behind the scenes. Which she immediately tells her mutant family about.

Draxum and Splinter both get recall messages around the same time.

The boys are distraught in all different ways.

Donnie is horrified when he realizes that this is why his head has been hurting so badly and he senses so much, the Kiju were evolving. Raph is immediately panicked that something is going to happen again where he will be possessed by this newer version of the Kiju. Mikey is terrified that his family might get torn apart again and that his magic isn't enough to stop it. Leo spirals even further, tossing himself aggressively into training and strategies, except now he's added the pilot training he isnt supposed to know about by swiping training videos and textbooks. (He also starts to portal. Anywhere. Everywhere. He searches for absolutely any sign of the Kraang creatures because this is ALL HIS FAULT)

When Draxum is recalled to the main base where the Yokai-Human mechs have been gathered, he reveals to the Captain there what he had discovered. Mutants, and those who match with them, are the most ideal and in sync pilots with the mechs technology, most likely due to being a mix of yokai and human DNA just as the mechs are a mix of human and yokai technology.

The boys are immediately called in to train as Pilots (obviously)

Donnie excells in being entirely connected to the mechs, and knows how to work with them, repair them, and upgrade them almost instantly.

Mikey's magic interacts nearly perfectly with the magic within the mechs, and his understanding of people and sociology makes him extremely ideal in a partnered scenario.

Raph is excellent at using his enormous amounts of strength to use the heavier mechs, and his kind personality makes it easy to work with him.

Leo Flys through training (to a concerning degree to the Captain) with extreme skill. He acts as if he's lazy or aloof, but pilots a mech in training as if it were an extention of himself, very similar to how Donnie does, but to a less mechanical degree. His stratigical work is nearly immaculate, (though he never tells his full plan as the Captain notices) and is extremely charming.

April is an excellent pilot as well, a hard worker with huge amounts of energy and drive, as well as being extremely Personable. (The Captain would like to note that the girl is noticeably possessed by a teaching spirit that makes her much wiser than her years in battle. Creepy. But very effective. )

April and Raph turn out to be a very good match, which was surprising considering that most thought she and Donnie would be partners. Their mech is a heavy hitter, heavily armored and, when Raphs ninpo is activated, can be the absolute strongest hitter in the battle.

Donnie and Mikey team up and their mech is used for maneuverability and very effective weaponry. Donnie is able to produce any weaponry with his Ninpo for the mech while Mikey's ninpo is able to make the mech move and float with ease, along with the specialty chain Donnie made for Mikey's side of things. All in all, a deadly duo.

Leo is the resident strategist, the man in the chair if you will, the face man who deals with the government officials when they get antsy about mutants and yokai being involved with the mechs (alongside Draxum and the Captain, but Leo is dangerously effective at it) and most of all, the emergency back up. See, Leo is compatible with all of his siblings (including April, fight me she IS their sister) however he has never gone past a single meld with any of them. (Cause you know, gotta hide that mental illness ey Leo?) He says he's 'more of a solo act' as an excuse which mostly everyone buys. He's filled in for Raph and April both once, and once for Donnie ( But hasn't ever melded with his twin, maybe because he knows Donnie will meld with him fully right away).

Leo's biggest contribution is his portals, which he's become extremely good at, almost overnight in his family's eyes. So that problem about the mechs being too far from the hot spots? No longer an issue with Leo around. Within a mech, Leo can summon a sword and is able to make a few, very critical, portals while in the mech. He's only portalled twice within a mech before and it was in emergency situations. (He hid the fact that both jumps had him nearly passing out and Violently ill afterwards best he could.)

Draxum and Splinter are only to be deployed as a last resort, same as Leo.

This is all working very effectively until they realized exactly why the monsters have been evolving.

The kraang kiju managed to figure out where a very large store of empyrian was.

In the Hidden City.

They sniffed it out and now they were trying to get to it, and to do that they were forcing themselves to evolve within the place they dug out as a nest, deep under water. Then they were going out, getting as close as they could before they were stopped, then forcing themselves to evolve to get closer to their goal.

Apparently eating Sister Kraang had given them a taste for empyrian, and they were starving for more.

The plan was to blast the nest to finally eradicate them before the 'bad timeline' apocalypse but revised came to be. However a particularly nasty Kraang Kiju damaged Donnie and Mikeys mech in a solo battle, and Mikey was injured. Raph and April were deployed to another depot that was under heavy fire, that they are now realizing is by design of the Kraang, to attack one place heavily to divert them away from their goal. Then, they sent the heavy hitter to get to the finish line. They managed to stop it but barely. Splinter and Draxum were deployed to buy time for what had to come next.

Que Leo needing to be paired with Donnie. On paper they were the most compatible pair out of everyone. They're fighting styles would link perfectly in the mech, the fact that, in their human DNA, they ARE actually twins (partially if that makes sense?) And their mind link has been estimated to be one of the few that will set in immediately. Leo however is adamant that it is a horrible idea, to the extreme confusion of Donnie. Because. Leo was the one who had insited the two where twins. They fought, but they were extremely close. Hell the two were called ' the twin Naturals' in the hangar by pretty much anyone who was watching them train.

To counteract what he knew was coming, the Capitan ordered that it would be himself, Splinter, Draxum and the twins ONLY when they link the twins up within the mech. (Minimizing who sees what was going to happen, to which Leo is extremely grateful.) He says to minimize distractions and people believe him. Except Donnie, because at this point he knows something is up. So they go to the hanger where there's an unused mech that's been matched up with the two (The Mech is called Nightshade don't ask me why)

The two link and immediately it's just.

Hell. That is the only thing Donnie can describe in Leo's headspace. He feels absolutely everything Leo has been feeling, had been doing to his body, sees the Prison Dimension Leo was trapped in, the same one Leo sees whenever he closes his eyes, can hear the Kraang and every awful thing that godawful monster did or said to his twin. Can feel the overwhelming guilt, the absolute hatred of himself, the pure exhaustion that Leo slaps a smile over as if it were a bandaid, the way he obsessively trained his ninpo, his fighting, his piloting and his mind and Donnie just. Gets lost in this absolute tital wave of pure fucking PAIN.

So naturally the mech goes out of fucking control, and the two are disconnected as soon as possible.

Leo portals off, but not before the Captain jumps through after him, and Donnie is left absolutely distraught and disturbed with Splinter and Draxum.

Donnie genuinely can't think for once because what? Leo has been the most confident, collected and cocky person Donnie had ever seen for his whole life. That was his twin. The one who cracked jokes and made sure every single one of his brothers was okay. The only one who got exactly what Donnie was trying to say without him even having to say it, the one who spotted him getting too overwhelmed before anyone else, the face man, the one with a plan for everything. That? That had been the opposite of everything Donnie had even known about his brother, and his world veiw has just been knocked violently off its axis. He had felt his brother DYING. Felt the life sliping away as Leo floated in that hell dimension before Mikey got to him. And before Mikey got to him? That wasn't just 7 minutes. Leo had been gone to them 7 minutes, but Leo had been trapped in there for so much longer with what Donnie now knows to be from a Time dilation effect. He's terrified about what this has done to Leo, how close they were to losing him before and how close they were to losing him now when they didn't even know.

Leo is being tackled to the ground on the roof of some building in Canada in early winter because the Captain needs to keep him from portaling away. Again. The two eventually manage to establish that Leo isn't going anywhere and they just. Sit for a second. And because Leo can't handle silence he just starts talking. He talks about exactly what he went through during the invasion. How he started it. How he was irresponsible and dumb during the whole thing. How he almost lost Raph. How Casey Jr. had told him how he'd caused the deaths of everyone. How he'd ordered his twin to pilot the technodrone. How he'd fought and realized exactly what needed to be done, his life needing to be sacrificed. How he'd entered that dimension and gotten absolutely beaten to shit. How close he'd come to dying, life slipping away with that picture of his family being the only thing he could focus on for what felt like an eternity.

Then the aftermath.

Mikeys poor hands, Donnie's shell and head, Raphs eye and paranoia. The guilt he held for all of it and how he destroyed himself as penance for his existence. The hours he poured into the numerous plans and strategies and the back ups to the back ups of those plans. The second coming of the kraang. How it made his mind turn even darker and made him push himself to be better, stronger, faster, smarter. How he stole the training textbooks and guides as a preemptive measure. And how he worked himself even harder here, knowing how crucial his role as resident Portaler was, and how he started all of this so it didn't matter what it did to him.

The Captain sits silently through all of this (frankly horrifying) explanation and gathers one thing: This was a Child fucking soldier. Leo was 17 when he counted his own life as forfeit. He was 19 now, and in another war. And he blamed himself for it, even though it was the fault of the people trying to open it in the first place, and the Kraang for being the most evil bastards to exist. So he tells Leo this. And Leo just breaks down. Finally, because this boy has been due for a breakdown for a very long time. It was kind of a miracle he was even alive with how badly he was straining himself.

So Leo portals back and is immediately hit with a certain soft shell who, while he does not speak a word, will not let go of Leo. At all. The two end up being ordered back to their rooms, although they both end up in Donnies room because Donnie had quite literally created a death grip on Leo and Draxum nearly lost a finger when he tried to get him off. (The captain stopped Splinter and Draxum from going after the twins cause they needed to talk, and also, YOUR CHILDREN HAVE TRAUMA and the Captain has words that need to be said about how severe it is.)

So Donnie and Leo are just sitting there clinging to each other because Holy fuck they need comfort right now. And Donnie asks why Leo would ever hate himself for something that wasn't his fault, and Leo breaks down crying, and telling Donnie about how sorry he is that he caused him to get hurt and even killed in the bad timeline. Donnie stops him immediately and hits him with the fact that he is Donnies twin, and he is not fucking allowed to die, or wish he were dead, or be left anywhere fucking NEAR that hellscape because Donnie needs him right here. Not a single goddamn thing that happened was Leo's fault, no matter how much he thought that one small mistake with not getting that key made it that way, it was Not. His. Fault. (Also he will be having WORDS with Casey Jr. because while Donnie can logically say that Jr. was going through, and had gone through a lot of shit, not one person on this goddamn fucking earth can look Donnie's twin brother in the eye and tell him that the deaths of his entire family were on his head and get away without Donnie getting a word or two in. Not that he tells Leo this of course.)

The two try the link again and oh fuck, Donnie still ends up in the Hellscape of Leo's fucked up memories and feelings. After failing once more, Donnie pleads with Leo to try again, cause he was just not ready for it that time, they've got this. If Leo can hold steady with all this running through his head on a good day and take on Donnies trauma at the same time, then by fucking God, so can Donnie, his twin.

So they try for a third time.

The third time goes significantly better. Leo spirals again at first, chasing the rabbit, but Donnie is right there with him, telling him he wasn't alone, and he would never be alone in this so get up and fight with him. And because Leo absolutely loves his twin more than he could possibly hate himself, he does.

And boy were people right when they estimated that Donnie and Leo as a Team WORK. The two fit perfectly as a mech pilot team, and that mech is now possibly the most deadly thing they've ever let onto the field. See, Mikey had Skill and Restraint, while Donnie had extreme intellect and Skill. But Leo has Skill, strategy, and a drive to do ANYTHING necessary to succeed.

Restraint? The Disaster Twins? Never.

The two obliterate the evolved Kraang Kiju and head to the nest with the charges and get two in place. Then the nest lets out three of the evolved Kraang Kiju and things take a turn. Draxum and Splinter are deployed to help, as the final thing needed is the charge to be dropped straight down the middle, but before they can get it down all the way the Kiju land a massive hit, one that sets off the charge too early and damages both mechs. Donnies side is unresponsive, so Leo is about to eject him, as he cant singular portal while connected to the mech. Donnie however catches on and stops him, saying dont you fucking dare. Before he can do anything though (like sacrifice himself again) Splinter and Draxum send out a group message through the coms. Their mech is already falling down into the nest, as their mobility and thrusters are completely offline, and the mech is already leaking radiation. They tell everyone that they are pushing the self destruct, and will act as the final bomb. The dad's tell the boys and April that they love them and turn off the coms, and push the button, comforting each other as they die. Leo ejects both him and Donnie (he couldn't portal the mech considering how bad of shape he was in and the fact that the mech was also beginning to leak radiation) then portals the two ejection pods back to the hanger before the nest explodes. They are Greeted by Raph and April who had made it just slightly too late, a wheelchair confined Mikey and the Captain, and all of the siblings comfort each other through the loss of both of their parents (or in April's case, Parental figures.)

The Captain checks them for injuries and makes sure their settled and WILL be compensated for the rest of their lives ( He literally threatens the government into it, with surprising help from the Yokai, who realized halfway through the evolved Kiju arc that the barrier would not hold, and those turtles just saved their lives, AGIAN)

The Captain ends up going to live with the boys in the sewer, seeing as he had nowhere else to be now that the war against the Kiju was over, and helping them adjust with the loss of the parents. (Also figuring out that no, the police were absolutely not the ones stopping literally all of the mutant and even some human crime, that was these guys the whole time.)

Also Leo finally gets therapy through Donnie telling Senor Hueso (who is basically what Draxum was to Mikey for Leo) about all of the shit that happened and that WAS happening that Leo hid. Que Senor Hueso immediately getting Leo a therapist who he made absolute sure was neutral about Mutants, and having regular check ups on Leo. The rest of the family learns that Leo has been struggling (though Donnie is the only one who knows intimately what Leo has gone through and the explanation of all of this was a watered down version of what Leo told the Captain)

And the family is horrified, and they all make sure that everyone in the family is open about the issues that have happened and work on getting better. Leo's therapist also sets up therapists for the rest of the boys too, because they definitely need it, as soon as they hear about what happen to Leo's brothers as well.

(Bonus Points if Future!Leo is the Captain for added feels((He wore a cloaking broach to appear human and only trained the pilots for combat, never actually connected to one))☺️ Plus a Splinter/Draxum love confession in their final moments.)

(Also lemme know if anyone likes this kind of thing, have a bunch sitting in my notes app from a bunch of diffrent fandoms)

Hey there, more BLIND EYE CO. Au content! This is Pt 1. to the Twins arc (aka when the show takes place) but there will be more on the way as well as some just general art! This arc mainly centers on Mabel and Dipper, but there will be more Fiddlestan and some Ford on the way.

More Info on this next part of the Au under the cut, thank u for enjoying!

> Welcome to BLIND EYE CO. : Unsee It All!

**Welcome to Gravity Falls!~☆

THE TWINS ARC Pt 1:

From here we delve into the shows timeline, following Mabel and Dipper as they navigate Gravity Falls. This arc kicks off after Dipper explores the main lobby of BLIND EYE CO. (Aka. The Mystery Shack that has been built onto over the years for production purposes and became the main house/lobby) and discovers some work his Grunkle Stan had left on the table. He's surprised and very curious to find it to be a worksheet detailing expenses being funneled towards the 'Gravity Falls Anomaly Research Facility', run by his Grunkles. Immediately excited, Dipper asks Stan about it, who laughs it off as some department they took over for the town a long time ago after their local scientist went nuts, telling Dipper it was all fake local legends and hoaxes small towns tended to take too seriously.

Naturally Dipper is completely unenthusiastic about this explanation, so he heads out to the woods to see if he can find anything, quickly joined by Mabel who had just finished braiding Grunkle Fidds beard and had to escape the banjo music for awhile.

It's worth mentioning that Both twins are hiding their parents divorce from the other, both hearing some rather awful things before being shipped up here.

Awful things that need really good distractions to keep from thinking about them.

What better than a mystery?

And then, just like in Canon, Dipper accidentally triggers a mechanism deep in the forest, revealing a battered journal with a gold foiled, six-fingered hand tracing pressed into the front.

This time however, there is a peice of paper sticking out. If it were any normal peice of paper Dipper would have flipped right passed it, after all there where numerous pages out of place and practically falling from the book. As it stood, however, Mabel gasped and plucked the particular page from where it was hanging from the journal. The paper was almost iridescent, like mother o' pearl or an oil slick, but it was slightly too dull for that, and the paper itself was gritty, seemingly made of hundreds of thousands of tiny silver sparkles. The shine of the page didn't follow the sun, but rather Mabels fingers as she dragged her fingers across bold cursive lettering, stating simply:

EMERGENCY CONTACT NEEDED

Across the top of the page, before devolving into complicated science jargon that Mabel managed to peice together was some sort of wizard spell. Like one of Dippers nerd games!

Dipper, while Mabel inspected the glittery, otherworldly paper, was enthralled with the journal, hungrily reading paragraph after paragraph of the insanely exciting things his Grunkle Stan had dismissed as 'folklore taken too seriously'. It had everything Dipper had ever wanted to know and things he didn't even Know he wanted to Know! Gushing to Mabel about the journal, she reminds him of the strange spell paper, which now that Dipper was looking, was written in the same loopy scrawl as the Journal! Maybe it was the Author looking for his book after he lost it? But then how did the page get in the book? The Author couldn't have known he would loose it if he did manage to put that page in right? Or maybe he needed to loose it temporarily? Filled with mounting excitement Dipper suggests that it may be a way to find out even more about this strange journal by talking with the Author, and so Mabel suggests to do the spell, which if the description was right was a contacting spell. Dipper gleefully agrees and the two begin to puzzle out the spell, which needed water, a mirror and an incantation.

The two head to the bathroom off of their room at their Grunkles and quickly do the spell, shaking in excitement and expecting a strange looking professor of some kind, or maybe even the ghost of the Author.

What they get is the beginning of the worst summer of their lives.

The mirror ripples and spins to form a large shadow of a man, one with an uncanny resemblance to their Grunkle Stan's shadow. The mirror man speaks to them, saying that He was the Author of the Journal(s) and he was trapped in a dimension not his own. The children are immediately on edge, but not enough to stop the mirror man from saying his peice. He was an older man simply trying to get home to someone named 'Stanley Pines', who apparently desperately needed help. Mabel and Dipper, confused, tell the mirror man that there is no 'Stanley' Pines, only their Great Uncle, Stanford Pines and his husband. The mirror man was silent after this for a minute or two, mumbling something about 'missing a mirror scene' then shaking his head.

He tells them that their family isn't who they think and that there are 'certain forces at play' that pull the strings from behind the scenes. He tells them that the town they were in was full of more secrets than they could possibly hope for in their lifetime. He warns them that there are people trying to keep those strings where they were now, and that they will use force to achieve that. He cautions that he can't give too much information or else they'll be put in grave danger.

The Author then tells them that he can give them all the secrets about this place that they want, he can save their family from the unknown forces not meant for children and protect them, so long as they listen to him and do what needs to be done by following his instruction to get him back to their home dimension.

Ecstatic about meeting the Author and having a chance to research the anomalies up close, Dipper enthusiastically agrees. Mabel pulls him aside for a moment, asking him if this was really what he wanted to do. When Dipper says yes, Mabel insists that she be with him for all of the adventures, and makes him promise.

With that the kids are sent to their first mission: retrieve an incantation from a cave the Author found a very long time ago, then grab a specific part from their Grunkle Fiddleford's workshop, and acceleration something or other. What was important was that the Author had a picture of what it looked like, and that's all the kids needed to know apparently.

It's when they get to that cave that they start to feel that something is very, Very wrong here.

The incantation the Author wants is at the far back of the cave. The cave littered with blood red warnings to never summon something- someOne. A cheerily yellow triangle painted in starkly perfect lines shouldnt have given the children shivers, should not have made their skin pale and their breath coming out in twin shallow puffs. What had the Author been doing here? What WAS that thing, it's eye watching them from the still picture painted on the wall? They slowly inched around the sides of the unsettling circle painted on the floor, finding a small pool of water with an incantation magnified on the bottom of the small basin, just as the Author promised. Maybe this was all the Author had wanted when coming into that awful cave. The twins could only hope that was the only possible answer.

After retrieving the incantation, it allows the kids to pass the part stolen from Fiddleford to pass through the mirror, and the mission is accomplished. The children however, have more questions than answers, and the answers they are given aren't answers at all but rather a warning.

Or rather a couple of warnings.

:DO NOT SUMMON THE TRIANGLE

DO NOT MAKE DEALS WITH THE TRIANGLE (no matter what he offers you)

DO NOT TELL ANYONE ABOUT THE EXISTENCE OF THE AUTHOR

DO NOT TELL ANYONE THE EXISTENCE OF THE JOURNAL

And the hardest warning to digest of them all:

TRUST NO ONE.

DO NOT TRUST 'FIDDLEFORD'.

DO NOT TRUST 'STANFORD'.

TRUST. NO. ONE.

Mabel in particular didn't like that one, and didn't like how everything the Author said had Dippers head nodding in agreement before the sentence was even finished. She didn't like this man telling her that her family wasn't Trustworthy. They were already having enough problems with family, what was this guy trying to sell Dipper and her on?! She was reassured, however, when Dipper, true to his promise, said that they were in these adventures together. If Dipper could Trust no one else, he could Trust in Mabel. If Mabel could Trust no one else, she could Trust in Dipper.

Mabel unfortunately had no idea how literally that would be taken however.

It became a game.

They'd start in the mornings, playing 'everything is normal' at breakfast with their Grunkles, hugging them goodbye as they went out to 'explore' so the adults could work. Dodge Grunkle Stan's employees Wendy and Soos by giving them a small snippet of conversation then bolting when the attention was off the twins for even a moment. Then it was 'Wizarding Time' where the shadowed form of the Author filled the bathroom mirror like someone had poured liquid smoke into the glass, and he told the twins what they had to do for the day to save their family from this 'unknown' danger. Though a couple missions in and the twins couldn't see what the 'Unknown' danger could be considering all of the known, very dangerous dangers the two seemed to be facing near daily now. Then it was time to play 'Mission Impossible', the twins former favorite part, where they went to hunt down their mission objective and take it back to the mirror bound Author.

'Former', because after being blindsided by the Gremgoblin, suddenly the Authors 'fun way of researching anomalies' became a lot more real, and a lot more damaging the less they knew about what they were heading in to.

The look on Dippers face after she dragged him out of that things sight was something she never wanted to see again so long as she lived.

It also became a LOT harder to know what they were going to run into the harder the Authors missions got. The harder the missions got, the more shaken the twins became, taking the Authors minute warnings very seriously for fear of what might happen if they didn't, like they used to.

Mabel, in a fit, had quit for a while. She'd managed to strike up a friendship with two girls even, Candy and Grenda. Even Dipper seemed to be doing a little better, talking with Wendy a little bit more rather than couped up with the Author and Journal alone all day, like he had since Mabel had left the 'adventure'. Heck Mabel even saw him talking a bit with Stan! Dipper hadn't really been super close with Grunkle Fiddleford at all, but before the Author he'd at least talked to Grunkle Stan more often than not. It had been nice to see them talking again.

For a week.

For one, glorious week.

For one week, Mabel got to do normal adventures with her brother. Well, normal enough when you and your brother fight over a time tape and you end up with the best pig ever because your brother was super selfless and went back in time for it. For one week she and Dipper sat watching Ducktective again, in between their Grunkles at dinner, all of them trying to guess the culprit first. Dipper even let Mabel and her new friends put makeup on him! (Well just the mascara anyways but he never let her do it before!)

For one perfect week Mabel had her brother back when she hadn't even known she'd lost him.

Then she'd found Dipper half dead by the Siren pool.

Alone.

Turns out he hadn't stopped doing the Authors missions. He had just assumed Mabel had left him to continue on by himself, that she had voided their promise. Well as 'by himself' as he could be receiving mission orders from a shadow realm man. The Sirens had actually saved him from drowning, he told her in a shaky blank tone. There was this bird. A giant one. Feathers like knives. The Author had needed one for some substance inside the hollow feather bones for the creature, and had told Dipper that all he'd needed to do was sneak one from it's nest.

He hadn't been told how high up that nest was, high above the Sirens grotto. He hadn't been told that it was laying season, and that those creatures were extremely territorial of their grounds during this season.

Dipper didn't have to explain all the ways it went wrong for Mabel to understand how scared he was.

Mabel wanted to punch him for being stupid enough to go alone. Wanted to punch herself for being so stupid. For leaving him alone.

For leaving Dipper with Him.

Mabel had planned to join again to make him quit, not wanting him to go alone, even though she was the one who had stayed back of the own volition.

The Author took her rejoining as her accepting her place in his strange 'hero's tale' he was spinning, and decided to 'bless' them with more knowledge about the supposed danger, seeing as they were too deep in it now for secrets to be anything other than dangerous. Apparently. Didn't stop the Author from leaving parts out though.

'It' was run by their Grunkles.

Their. Grunkles.

What was 'It'? What was running besides their company? Sure Grunkle Stan wasn't known to be the most legal man this side of the law, but Grunkle Fiddleford? Even then, running something that could put them in danger, sure, but actively Hurting them? Their Grunkles would never. Never in a million years. Mabel knew that. Dipper should have known that. The Author had filled his head up with so much distrust that Mabel was nervous her brother would loose sight of his promise to her.

If anything it reinforced it.

Mabel was probably one of the only people Dipper talked to anymore. Maybe Wendy on an off day. Maybe Grunkle Stan on a verrrrry off day. But he didn't even say hi to Grunkle Fiddleford anymore, or Soos, didn't talk to anyone in town. Just Mabel. It was concerning, but the reason Mabel got for the change in behavior was worse. Dipper had gotten more information out of that Author when they were alone together. Figures. Turns out their Grunkles were apart of some weird memory cult thing, where they had a machine that could just. Delete memories. Just like that. How terrifying that was, knowing someone you loved could hold something like that, use something like that, and never tell you? How could you even tell someone that? Mabel has memories she never wanted to remember again, she could understand that, but what gets someone to the point they steal someone else's memories?

Mabel watched and watched and watched as her brother stumbled even deeper into paranoia and made a decision after a week of on and off joining Dipper on these missions.

They were going to finish that evil shadow Authors stupid missions, get him to fix the (Grunkle side at least) family, and then Mabel was going to get her twin the hell away from him, no matter how much Dipper thought they could Trust and rely on him. Mabel knew it was because Dipper idolized the Author, thought he was the coolest person alive aside from Mabel (and oh, didn't that hurt so bad to hear, when that stupid mirror man was Hurting her Twin.)

Mabel would almost feel bad about leaving Candy and Grenda in the dust, but Mabel would give the mirror man this:

There really were very few people here she could Trust. Maybe not 'Trust' in the way the twins were keeping secrets, or Trust in the way Mabel still Trusted that her Grunkles would never hurt them no matter what Dippers paranoid brain told him.

However, what Mabel didn't Trust, was having anyone but family protect her brother. Especially in this town. Especially after the Author. They just wouldnt understand what Mabel had to do to keep her twin safe. Which was being next to her at all times. So as lovely as having friends had been, Mabel strapped a newly purchased, fully stocked supply kit to her pig Waddles, grabbed a backpack, and lead her twin into the fire he would've jumped into alone.

(This Pt 1. Of the Twins arc, more on the way!)

Also, for those who made it till the end, this Au has 2 endings. It is called BADEND FiddleStan for a reason. =)

Also light version of the pic!

Trying to work on more Blind Eye CO Au stuff, but in the meantime here's a Bill!

[catzncoffee]

A little FiddleStan AU I cooked up, more information about the AU below the cut!

I'll probably post a few more characters from this AU later!

Aren't they just the cutest couple? (* ´ ▽ ` *)

BADEND FiddleStan Au

> Welcome to BLIND EYE CO. : Unsee It All!

-To Start us off, Ford sends his postcard over to Stanley a lá Canon, and Stanley immediately drops everything to rush up to Gravity Falls all the way from New Mexico, spending his last dime on gas and driving with as little breaks as possible. At this point in time, Fiddleford has left Stanford and is actively going through a divorce and the process of loosing his mind via mind gun overexposure. Stanford is not doing well, paranoid and extremely sleep deprived, watching for Bill in any eye sockets or triangles that flash in the corner of his eyes. None of them are doing well to sum it up.

- Stanley arrives fresh off a no breaks drive to meet with his estranged brother of 10 years, and while not exactly expecting a warm welcome, a crossbow pointed at his head and a flashlight shone in his eyes certainly didn't help set the tone of the meeting. Or help the spinning in his head. Or the Nausea. Frankly he only caught the tail end of Fords very concerning speech, but at least he knew to follow him down the stairs.

-naturally things devolve from there, Ford demanding Stanley take his research and flee while Stanley grapples with the fact that it's all Ford wanted of him. Spiraling into a physical fight once old grudges are dug up from their graves. A Fight that brands Stanley with a symbol he can't even understand, turning something on he didn't even know the danger of. A singular shove that absolutely wrecked Stanley's world, and the last words "Do Something Stanley!" Haunting the room as the portal that his brother built ate him and imploded.

- Fiddleford notices the gravitational anomalies and panics, going into hiding but terrified for Fords safety against his better judgment.

- Stanley spends the next week desperately trying to peice together both the portal and the journals contents, and his mental health takes an even steeper decline. He sits in the same lab going over whatever books he can find and that stupid journal over and over and over until he works on the portal till the next injury or road block, surviving off of whatever canned food both he and Ford combined had left

- Enter Fiddleford, who couldn't bear not to check on Ford after the gravitational anomalies and continued radio silence. Just a confirmation that he wasn't dead, Fiddleford told himself. Nothing more. Stanford deserved no more from him, after all Fiddleford had given. Just a quick safety check in for the sake of an old friend. A knock on the door, however, brought a slow shuffle towards it and opened to reveal a very tired, very devastated..... not Ford? But also Ford? At least he certainly looked like Ford. But Ford had less muscle mass last time Fiddleford saw him. Less hair too, because Stanford? Have a mullet? What sealed it was the normal, five fingered hands that the Not-Ford rubbed his eyes with when Fiddleford demanded, as politely as possible, to know who he was and where Stanford went.

- Fiddleford is invited in and the two sit on a couch Not-Ford cleared off in this waste zone of a house and explains that his name is Stanley, and he's the estranged brother of Ford. Who also happens to be his identical twin. Ford had called him up to help him by taking his stupid journal and running, the two got in a fight, and Ford got sucked in. Fiddleford felt cold panic settle in his gut, thoughts scattered and memories of what was on the other side coming back in nauseating waves, lapping at his consciousness.

- At first Stanely succeeds in getting Fiddleford to help him with the portal, and he's extatic while Fiddleford is decidedly not. However much to Fiddlefords surprise, he isn't forced into the basement, or working on that devil machine, or even couped up in the study to work nonstop. Instead, Stanley gives him a notebook and pen, and gives a description or photo of the exact thing he needs help with, explains to the best of his, admittedly limited, knowledge what the problem is, and has Fiddleford help. Then, Stanley thanks him profusely and dissapears by himself down to the depths of the lab, laving Fiddleford with the glow of the TV and a warm drink.

And it confuses him.

Greatly.

Because there were very few times Ford mention having a twin; Fiddleford could count them on one hand. But Ford had been angry most of those times, other than the one or two when crying and drunk, saying that Stanley had been 'ruled by emotion' and was 'brash with no tact'. But where Ford had been accusatory and sharp, Stanley had been understanding and toned down. There had been very few times over the last few days Stanley had raised his voice, and it was more out of frustration or picking at a touchy subject than anything. And more than that was the way he would shrink just a bit and apologize with enough self loathing that Fiddleford could taste it, sticky and bitter in the back of his throat. Stanford ignored everything when in a project. Stanley only seemed to ignore himself. Stanley was nothing like Stanford had been, and Fiddleford found himself craving those differences more and more, craving more time spent with Stanley, more conversation, more memories, just more Stanley. A pleasant but confusing change, especially when Stanley's features where so similar to Fords.

- Fiddleford would blame the fact that he didn't notice Stanley's condition until much later into staying back at Fords place on the way his mind was still shifting itself into something usable again, however once he noticed he would never stop cursing himself for how he didn't before. Stanley had collapsed in the kitchen, and it had taken nearly all of Fiddlefords mental power to drag the information on his injuries out of Stanley so he could treat them. The poor man had been walking around with that nasty burn treated the best Stanley could, but improperly the whole time, and infection had begun to set in like a bastard. That wasn't even beginning to speak of the malnutrition, dehydration and multiple other bruises and cuts, some yellowed, faded, crusted over, some fresh, purpled and bloodied all on too pale skin. Scars told of a life that was harder than Fiddleford had ever originally thought to think of, questions popping in his mind as he treated the increasingly more worrying Stanley.

And in this Time, Fiddleford was alone with his thoughts.

Fiddleford was here. Again. In Fords house, trying to save him from himself. Again. And frankly he was tired. He'd pushed past his family in favor of Fords shiny promises and stayed far past when he should have, gave more of his knowledge, more of his friendship, hell, more of his heart than he'd ever thought possible. And Ford still always wanted, Needed, more. Fiddleford had felt all that rage for himself and his life over and over, but feeling it for someone else was new. Yet here he was.

Here Stanley was.

Because really, what kind of man gets a call from a man he hasn't seen in 10 years, basically a stranger, one who never talks about him, and drops absolutely everything to help them? New Mexico was a 20 hour drive from Gravity Falls, and Stanley had driven that with the absolute last of his money, no sleep, just driving. Only for Ford to completely dismiss him for the survival of his research over the world. Fiddleford had no idea what Stanley supposedly 'did' when they were younger, like Stanford had vaguely mentioned and Stanely kept saying in a heartbreakingly familiar tone dripping with guilt and self hatred, but Fiddleford could tell from a mile away it was bullshit. Stanford had no reason to hate Stanley so badly. Stanley had no reason he should have helped Ford after God knows what he went through, but he did anyways. Ford? Fiddleford would bet the last of his sanity just to say that Ford wouldn't return the favour. He never had before.

- Fiddleford spirals deeper and deeper as he treats a heavily feverish Stanley, his hatred for Ford growing into a tangible thing the more he thought. And oh, how much simpler this would have all been if he'd simply met Stanley first. Rougher around the edges but kinder. Sweeter. God the way he was so gentle with Fiddleford even though he had no reason to be. The way he'd taken the existence of the memory gun in stride and stated he'd be here if Fiddleford needed support with it. It would be so much easier if Stanley just agreed to shut the portal down forever. Then they could just live. Together, of course, Fiddleford didn't think he could live without Stanley's gruff support now that he'd had it, but just. Simply live. Without the threat of the world, or demons, or weirdness over top of them.

Without the threat of Ford.

Oh how tempting it was, Fiddleford thought, in the days were Stanley was becoming more lucid while still soft and warm due to his sickness, to just simply erase Ford from Stanley's mind. But that would leave too much of a gap, and as he regains his mind bit by bit, Fiddleford begins to come to the conclusion that the memory gun needed a bit of work, yes, but as long as it wasn't over used then it's intended purpose would be served. Over using included, however, memories that were too big to simply pluck out completely. Its where he'd went wrong with his own treatment, and like hell he would leave Stanley to deal with the consequences of that.

Then, in the last few days where Stanley was beginning to move about in small increments as he shook away the last clawing hands of illness away, Fiddleford realized it. He didn't need to erase Ford completely from Stanley's mind.

Fiddleford just had to erase Stanley's love for Ford.

- So, he was patient. Fiddleford waited until Stanley was well, until he walked with full strength and his laugh was full again, until he was sure that the grown affection Stanley had for him after his illness allowed him close enough.

Fiddleford even made sure his memory gun was freshly updated and tuned to the most perfect he'd ever gotten it, making sure the shot would be clean and accurate for his Stanley's sake. Only the best for that man from now on, Fiddleford swore it.

Then he waited until he'd made sure Stanley was relaxed. Had gone out for the day and convinced him to go out to Greasys with Fiddleford. Had taken Stanley for a walk through the woods and laughed as his eyes sparked in excitement even as he cussed out a gnome. Had curled up together, warm and safe on the couch, watching movies and drinking a couple beers. Fiddleford even managed to persuade Stanley away from another long night in the portal room, asking him to stay to sleep for Fiddlefords sake, which Stanley relented to nearly immediately. It was all just such a perfect day. It all just confirmed to Fiddleford that he was absolutely doing the right thing. He'd be happier. Stanley would be happier. And Ford could stay having his horrific adventures on the other side, just like he had seemed to want so badly.

In the dead quiet of that night, Fiddleford pulled the memory gun silently from underneath his pillow, and smiled at Stanley, sleeping soundly on his chest, and fired it directly at Stanley's temple. The only sound Stanley made was a soft exhale, one that Fiddleford chose to believe was relief.

- In the following years, Fiddleford never regretted that choice. Stanley woke up and immediately broke down to Fiddleford, initially panicking him at first thinking he'd broken Stanley, them realized the man was talking about desperately not wanting to bring Ford back, asking Fiddleford if he thought he was horrible for saying so. After that it had been Fiddlefords pleasure to inform his sweet Stanley that not only did he not hate him, but shared his thoughts and truthfully didn't want to open that portal ever again. Things had moved quicker with Stanley dismantling the cursed thing than building it, and Fiddleford hadn't ever been happier. Clearing out Fords house of anything not safe to research or just plain garbage had been so satisfying too, convincing Stanley with little effort to replace any symbol of Bill with quite literally anything else. The Society of the Blind Eye had been a surprise, after all Fiddleford had never expected a group of people to find his scrapped plans or suggest he ever start them, but it was sweet, professional conman Stanley who had suggested making something more out of it. Afterall, Fidds had wanted his own company once, why not start with this?

- With that, BLIND EYE CO. was born, originally starting as a cover for the Society to do their work, growing into a more legitimate business with Fiddlefords inventions and Stanley's charisma faster than they'd thought possible. Fiddleford even continued the Gravity Falls anomaly research to better understand what could cause what, and which things were better of forgotten. Stanley, however, wanted nothing to do with the research of the journal to help with these findings, stating that nothing Ford had made he would ever want to touch, which suited Fiddleford just fine, in fact it delighted him. With Fiddleford and Stanley as both the owners and CEOs of the company( and the Society not that the town knew) it was no wonder the town quickly came to love them and know them, this large company that gave back to the community and was started right here in sleepy little Gravity Falls! How novel.

- Fiddlefords son, Tate, (now allowed to visit since Fiddleford was 'mentally stable') had taken the change badly at first, seeing his father turn from fine to broken to better than ever before, but warmed up once Stanley showed his soft side to him. Tate seemed to like Stanley better than he ever had Ford, which made Fiddlefords heart absolutely soar with happiness. Stanley and Fiddleford, while it wasn't legal to be married just yet, didn't have a solid relationship with the law anyhow and happily wore matching rings with pride. The memory gun is still in use and is consistently upgraded, with Fiddleford being the main figurehead to use it while Stanley happily sat next to him and did whatever he needed.

- Meanwhile in the nightmare realm, things are absolutely not going how Bill Cipher thought. Seriously how the hell was he to know the hillbilly would come back and steal Mackerel away from fixing the portal?! Stanley should have been getting that portal open to get Fordsy not forgetting he ever even liked sixer! Once again that stupid Specs, always messing up Bills progress. He does, however, get a new idea on how to screw with Ford while he's trapped here.

- Ford is greeted randomly, via Bill, with mirrors into his home dimension, taunting him with what's happening just to screw with him as he survives.

And screw with him it does.

Ford watches helplessly as his closest friend and former partner cuddles up to his frantically overworked brother finally at rest, and puts the memory gun to his head, and sees pure Red.

Ford is now hopping though dimensions with a purpose; subdue Bill, get home, cure Stanley, and Kill Fiddleford. And he won't stop until he does.

- Enter Mabel and Mason(Dipper) Pines, sent to their Grunkle 'Stanford' and his husband for the summer, when Dipper finds a journal that seems to have a page of a diffrent kind of paper hes never seen sticking out. The note holds an incantation written in the same cursive as the journal, and details preforming a spell on a mirror, labelled simply as EMERGENCY CONTACT NEEDED. Upon doing the incantation, the children are met with a shadow in the mirror telling them he's their trapped uncle, he's trying to get back to someone named 'Stanley' Pines, dont make deals with yellow triangles and above all else:

Do NOT Trust FIDDLEFORD

Do NOT Trust 'STANFORD'

TRUST NO ONE

Welcome to Gravity Falls!~☆

Just a Sketch I did after watching too many horror videos :)

Aren't they just the prettiest princesses? ;)

Thought I'd add my little Au into the Tumblr mix.

(Individual pictures and a few Au headcannons below =) )

Au Headcannons:

- Stan is so, SO bitter about being turned into his old hat, but not as bitter as Ford, who turned into the one thing that made him a freak.

- All dream Demon's can have similar magics but are usually quite unique. That being said, imagine Bills surprise when Mabel starts to create her own mindscapes and manifestations, with Dipper following the deep and complex magic within cipher's and spells. All traits of his own magic.

- Mabel and Dipper both have Bills brick design, which Ford hypothesizes is why their powers are so similar to Bill's.

- Bill wanted the Pines to feel what he did. Now he's stuck with them for eternity. Quite literally, Axolotl bound Bill to the family so he can't leave. Great. He tooootally can interact with the Pines without insanity taking over. Totally.

- Bill hovers around Ford, like, constantly. (He Def approves of the new form lol =) )

-Stan feels like he failed the kids.

- Ford feels like he's fallen right back into the same old trap. Again.

- Mabel is trying to focus on all these really really cool new things she can do, and see, and make, and totally not at all trying to avoid thinking about how she and her family are tiny floating demons and Waddles cant be with her. Nope, not at all. (She'll have to think about it some time.)

- Dipper hates it all. Hates how his family is handling the situation, hates how he's lost his life and hates, most of all, how GOOD he is at being a demon. It's too easy and it makes him sick. Is he just like Bill?
