Mod T here to say shoutout to y’all still followin’ this blog.  It’s been a hot second, huh?  I’m always thinkin’ bout makin’ more content or somethin, but I’ve never had any concrete thoughts beyond some quick doodles.  Still!  If y’all wanna see that, I’d be glad to put it up here.  Otherwise keep on keepin’ on.

Not sure if there's still anyone around but here's one - what's Ian/Toby/R!Bill's relationship to the characters? Is he or she a Pines or like in TAU in a relationship with R!Alcor or something?

Mod J here. For a variety of reason, I’m going to have to say the blog is almost definitely dead, and we’re sorry for taking such a long time to decide the blog is just unsustainable. 

At the very least I’ll answer this question, because it cropped up constantly and none of us really had a response. Simply put, we (the mods) couldn’t keep up with the rate of tau!canon beyond a certain point, so...Toby, Ian and similar reincarnations never reached the point of occurring, and you can feel free to consider or speculate based on what did make the blog! If you wanna stick closely to tau!canon, sure, but bear in mind that it’s equally possible Toby or any similar iteration easily couldn’t have happened at all.

Would it be okay to send you guys some stuff I have for this? It's really interesting to read and I really love it. (Maybe more than the original AU)

Mod J here to say sure! We’d be happy to take submissions, even if we may not answer right away. (Currently the state of the blog is in limbo for a few personal reasons, which is why answering asks has been so sporadic.) It’s awesome to know it’s appreciated!

Equivalence Mizar meeting Transcendence Alcor, requested by The Traveller on the chat.

I really like how her wings came out :)

[equivalence-au]

HC: Mizar throws smile-dip at cultists. This leads to scholars classifying smile-dip as "a demonic powder favored by the demon Mizar leading to hallucinations, substance abuse and occasionally death" subsequently banning it (but not for long, because it "somehow" gets back onto shelves.)

Seeing as Smile Dip was already banned in America.. it quickly gets banned in other countries for exactly this reason. But... Demons have their ways around mortal limitations such as things like “bans” and “total recalls”.

Which is to say- Yes! Totally! Absolutely!

Does Dipper ask Mabel to give the diplets true names in this AU, as Mabel does with her triplets in the main TAU? I may or may not have a headcanon wherein Equivalence!Mizar names them for colors (as opposed to TAU!Alcor, who uses stars).

Mabel does give them true names,  but it’s all Dipper’s idea. He doesn’t actually know their true names, although he came up with 3/4ths of the ideas for them, probably! In the end it was Mabel’s decision, though we haven’t come up with their true names. Open to suggestions!

[equivalence-au]

So in this AU, is Dipper the one that "settles down" and starts a family then, with Mabel being the demonic auntie?

He is, although in this AU it takes him a lot longer than TAU Mabel. He gets married to Jocelyn Wentworth in his late 20′s. They have triplets, and then some years later they have another kid. And Mabel is totally the Fun Aunt. But she can also be the Dangerous Aunt, which for some of the kids just makes her more fun!

[equivalence-au]

HC: Early on, Mabel was still flirting whenever corporeal (but usually not during summons). Then Dipper teased her about being a succubus and she got all soul searchy and realized that, no, she couldn't feel anything of that nature and somehow the fun in it was spoiled. (Feel free to correct everything about this. I shouldn't be hcing rn.)

Well, while we have said Mabel is asexual, any headcanon about who she’s romantically attracted to is still so far up to you guys! If you see her as aromantic, too, then that’s also fine!

[equivalence-au]

hc: At some point, there's an Alcor that loves loves LOVES to knit, but when Mizar settles in for a knitting session with them she finds herself staring at the knitting needles in her hands and realizing that, after centuries of simply manifesting sweaters and scarves and socks at whim she's forgotten how to actually knit things by hand.

That’s very sad, go to the corner.

[equivalence-au]

I can see Mizar knitting sweaters out of cultists that displease her. If they are lucky, she turns them into yarn first.

[equivalence-au]

Personal headcanon that r!Henry's end up as a sort of advisor or confidant to Mizar over time, ranging anywhere from reassuring Mabel of her humanity to "Why on earth do I need to know about the time you turned a cultist into a three headed kitten made of rainbows please stop."

That seems pretty likely! He does end up moving to Gravity Falls and becomes a close family friend, so I can see it happening!

[equivalence-au]

I just realized there's this au inside of the TAU so i have to say: Yes please I love this.

Thank you! That’s really nice! We definitely try to keep the canon loose, the quality good and the AU fun! But sometimes we only do two of those things. That’s when it’s sad.

[equivalence-au]

Headcanon that Mizar also has a hammerspace-esque piece of clothing she stuffs everything from Smile Dip to Dipper's inventions into

She totally does.  After all, one never knows when one might need that glitter!  Or more ribbons.  Sweaters are fantastic for this! Also tophats, lockets, really tall shoes, and roomy necklines in a pinch.

[equivalence-au]

Do you guys maybe have any ideas of how the RRR arc would go in this au?

Well, not to be blunt, but the arc probably wouldn’t go down in this au! It’s possible for similar things to happen, but as the characters are different and Mabel has a different personality than TAU Alcor and attitude to being demony, it’d still probably be very different.

That said, if anyone wrote or came up with a plot for a similar story, that’s totally fine(and encouraged)! Who says that, at some point, Mabel doesn’t join a Dipper reincarnation as a sibling? And what sort of hijinks they’d have, being teenagers and growing up again? And how the reincarnation would get old while Mabel, probably having figured out she was a demon again, stays young and remembers yet another person she grew up with, saw grow old, then die?

[equivalence-au]

How does Mizar first encounter Bill's soul again, post-Transcendence? Is her reaction different from Alcor's in Reincarnation Blues?

She’s definitely probably still reluctant to trust a reincarnation of Bill, but definitely so the first time around! We don’t actually have a character for the first reincarnation after Bill, seeing as they would probably not be Ian. But if that r!BIll has the same lingering presence and shadow in their head, there’d certainly still be problem to get over with Mabel.

I couldn’t resist a cheerful Mizar in a floofy dress with wings that are happily defying biology. :)
