#Mabel i would Kill For u.

[arcadequeerz]

Good Show. Beloved Show.

[andessence]

so cruel to be stricken with blorbotions for a character in a mediocre source material. i love u ma'am but ur covered in bad writing grime!! idk if there's anything i can do for u....

[twoa-plus]

do u guys ever think abt how the fandom blaming mabel and/or ford (this applies to other characters too but i mostly see it with them) for Everything is exactly what bill would’ve wanted. like it’s not his fault for tricking them, it’s their fault for falling for it

bill is the villain here - he’s the manipulator and the abuser and the one who wanted Bad Things To Happen. but somehow all the blame ends up falling on the shoulders of the people he used as unwitting pawns to achieve that goal

in fanfic & stuff i think a lot of this comes down to the fact that it’s easier to “punish” the human characters - they have loved ones and dreams and aspirations, and taking that away from them leads to more of an emotional impact than anything you could possibly do to bill. sure, you can kill him, send him to prison, make him do therapy, whatever, but he doesn’t have anything. there’s nothing you can take away from him that he hasn’t already taken from himself. as messed up as it is i think people just find it more satisfying to hurt someone who actually has a weak point, even if that person isn’t the one really at fault

anyways. idk i just think bill would really get a kick out of seeing people sympathize with him more than they do his victims

--------------

Coriolanus strides through the citadel.

His pace was quick and egger to reach its destination of Dr Gaul's playroom.

He passes a line of Peace keepers without a glace, and they don't bother him. Now knowing the face of the youngest game maker ever.

He yanks open the door, and walks down her long corridor of horrors to were she sat at her operating table, digging into a screaming creature.

He slams his piece of paper down on the desk beside her, and she eyes its curiously.

"The work I've done today" he explains. The crunch paper read the headline; the 11th hunger games: problems and solutions. And that was all.

She goes back to her work after a quick glance.

"congratulations".

"You need to do something about it" he throws his hands up frustrated and begins to pace, "i can't think. I sit in that room all day staring at paper".

He refers to his quite lavish and large office as a room. The Spoils of the Capital no longer foreign to him.

"A lobotomy perhaps?". Dr Gaul continues her work uninterested in the boys issues.

"Don't you want me to be the best I can be? Elevate the Hunger games to be something that the Capital people cheer and look froward to?"

"You would not be standing in front of me if i thought otherwise" Dr Gaul remarks.

"then help me. He stops his pacing to look at her.

"What would you have me do, Mr Snow?"

"Give me a letter of transit out of district 12"

"i thought you said you killed Lucy-grey"

"I did".

he is pretty sure he did. Even if the bullet never made fatal impact, she would never survive the infection let alone the elements of the forest.

'There was another. A young girl who would wash my peace keeper uniform."

"My!' the irradiate old women coo'd, "What a lover boy you truly are"

Enthralled by his request, Dr Gaul spins out of her chair and goes to retrieve the paper from her writings desk.

"A simple girl hinders you from completing your work? a district girl no less. Does she know this?"

"I've never even spoken to her" he admits.

Dr Gual lets out a loud laugh as she flicks her pen to her signature.

"You are more like me than you like to claim. You have your pets and I have mine" she walks over, holding the yellow piece of paper in her hands.

'Dare i say mine are more useful, but after all you are just a man"

Coriolanus reaches for it but she pulls it back.

"And man, when they are truly focused are the most dangerous things on the planet".

He doesn't shy away from her stare. It holds no horror for him any longer. Rather he challenges it. He had his fathers eyes. Cold, deep and unrelenting to opposition.

He wins another round and she pushes the paper into his hands. He gives no thank you as he turns back to the door.

'let's hope this one survives you".

Her words still him by the door, but he had no time to dwell. He had a train to catch, peace keepers to organize, and a girl to bring home.

---------

Mabel had just gotten home for the day. Had just set down her satchel and begin to make her way to the kitchen to help prepare dinner when peace keeps knocked down her door. Her complaints of the wet weather now seeming immaterial as they flooded the small house, turning its residents up against the wall.

She calls out to her father as he is violently shoved to his knees.

"That's the girl. the young one" a peace keeper nodded in her direction. Another turns, heading down the hall for you.

"RUN!" Her father demands and Mabel takes off through the back door. She runs through the pouring rain past her village to the backing forest were she knew she could hide.

Branches mark her face up as she pushes through the thickness. She couldn't stop, hearing numerus foot steps chasing her. She dodges and weaves hopping to lose them enough so she could hide.

A shot is fired, offering her a lull in the marching as their commander reprimanded them.

"unharmed! Unharmed! you imbecile! capital orders".

She jumps over a large fallen log and nestles herself as far as she could under it. The mud sloshes underneath her, weighing her knee length grey dress down while the rest of the mud smeared over her bare legs. The rain keeps pelting down which help to wash away her foot prints.

She wondered what she did to gain capital attention. Enough Capital attention that they would want her unharmed and not shot at first sight.

"little girl" she heard the same voice that reprimanded the others call out to her, "come out. We are not going to hurt you unless you make us".

Living in the districts all her life she knew that was a life. She clamps her hands over her mouth to quieten her heavy breathing, as she listens to their walking footsteps.

"If not for you" the voice continues, "Then for your family. They'll hang if you make this too hard on us".

Her family. She was powerless to protect them if she ran. She was powerless now, but provocation was the last thing Peace keepers needed to make good on a threat.

So she came out. A peace Keeper had just been to her left, above her. If he wasn't stupid he would have found her anyway.

he raised his gun to her and called out to the others.

"There's a good girl" The shrieking voice was placed to a little man. Short in statue and round. He had bushy eyebrows that nearly hit his helmet and a large flat nose.

"cuff her"

The peace keeper lowered his gun to do so.

"What have I done?" she asks as she is lead back through the forest with a tight grip on her arm.

"capital business. But you can add running away from Peace keepers and resisting arrest to the list".

"I haven't done anything. You can't do this" Mabel pleads. It was correct. She was an outstanding citizen of district 12. She worked more than she played.

'Take it up with the capital" The little man huffed.

She is led through the peering eyes of the village back to her home where a large Capital issued van was waiting. Upon seeing the retrieving group, half the peace keepers loaded themselves back up onto the wooden panels on the side ready for deployment.

The peace Keepers that pushed their guns into the back of her mum and dad's head relent as well. It was late and this mission had interpreted their dinner time.

She could see her father throw his arms over her mother keeping the old women from fighting a Peace Keeper. It would only get them all killed.

she was pushed to the van. not even allowed a goodbye. A peace keeper in the back of the van positioned himself to lift her up. He squatted down and held out his arms to lift. She was going to make it easy for him by stepping up upon outer frame but a voice lit the fire once more.

"Mabel!".

She froze. She knew that little voice from a crowd of a hundred.

her little sister had returned home from sewing school to see her being loaded up into a peace keeper van.

"Livy go to Mrs Flexures house. Go!".

She protested, choosing to run through a crowd of big men.

A Peace keeper caught her and lifted her up into his arms like a flailing fish.

"let her go" Mabel screams. She tries to make her way to her sister but is stopped by the Goblin caption.

Mabel was normally a outstanding citizen but hearing her sister screaming, she bit down on the captions hand.

He shouted as her teeth sunk, releasing her from his hold. She pulls against hands and sounds of the reserved peace keepers exiting the van to get to her sister.

She is stopped but it didn't matter, Livy was dropped in case the Peacekeeper needed both hands.

A fellow neighbor had ran out and grabbed her taking her into the safety of his home.

Mabel felt her heart beat back to life as her sister left harms way.

She smiles as she sees the backhand from the caption come down upon her. Her family was safe, it didn't matter if she wasn't.

The rain had eased up but left the ground with pools of red mud. Without her hands to catch herself, Mabel fell face first into one.

"Give me the thing" The goblin looking man demanded. A hand held contraption similar to the one the medics used to give them their shot was handed over.

she screamed and kicked at him, wiggling her way backwards on the ground. Unsure of what he had planned to give her. She doubted it was a vaccinee against measles.

he scuffled with her, pulling up the cap of her sleave and releasing the medicine into her arm.

It took effect almost immediately. Her vision began to blur and head rang only for the moment it took for her to be lifted and placed upon the vans floor among the booted feet. She could see one mans loosened shoe laces before darkness over took her.

-----------

Coriolanus waits at the train station. Hiding from the rain inside the door frame of the carriage. His eyes rake across the platform. He was getting impatience.

he had half expected by the time he made the journey they would of had her waiting for him. Instead he was left to wait in the cold. It had remined him too much of lucy-grey.

He had tried to remain seated in the warmth of the carriage, but he was far to restless to be bothered by servants trying to please him. He didn't want cake. He didn't want a hot beverage. He didn't want their hands over him giving him a massage.

he wanted to take his girl and be on his way.

But he remembered what district 12 was like. A collection of useless no hopers. He would be glad to finally turn his back on the place for good. With Mabel by his side there would be nothing keeping him from erasing his history here all together.

He pulls his gloved tighter on his wrist, and closes his red large coat higher to his throat. District 12 only ever swayed between the extremes.

He had remembered how hot it was the day he and lucy grey set path to their new home.

Sweat had rolled down his neck to his back. His t-shirt clinging unkindly to him. He was carrying all the heavy things while Lucy-grey wondered before him, unbothered by weight.

He took it as a punishment. It allowed weak people to drag him down, as this weight now did.

"I've been thinking" He swats a mosquito on his neck, "It ain't only us who can tie the murder to me and you".

lucy-Grey spun around to him.

"that girl. The one who helped us escape after they found the bodies."

She had looked at him for a second while ushering him and Lucy-Grey out a side entrance. he remembered the spark that ran through him after finally being seen by her. He tore free from Lucy-grey's hand less she think he wasn't avaliable. But he doubt she saw it from how fast she closed the door. Her sweet voice telling peace keepers they had gone the other way.

"who? Mabel?".

Mabel. He finally had a name. He asked around the compound but no one knew. She washed and ironed uniforms, who cared what her name was. But he did, and he finally had it as he fled from her.

" we should turn back around and get her. Make sure she doesn't talk. Even if they don't find the guns, word of mouth's all they need to come after us".

"nu-uh Mabel wouldn't rat us out. Peace keeps would have caught us Covey foke long before they did if it hadn't been for her and her secret hiding places."

Secret hiding places? was that why she was so difficult to find when he had patrolling duty. He must have swapped ten or twelve times trying to find her amongst the sections.

"You said it yourself people are tortured for information here. We should get to her before they do".

Life in the woods with him wouldn't be too different from life in the districts for her. He would try and make it comfortable. Going fishing every morning for her, and brining back his game from hunting. They would settle down and have a fine little life. Lucy-Grey would find her baring in the woods and go her own way.

"You my man, Coriolanus?" She asks. Her voice was full of anger and questioning.

Not even remotely. He was her victor , she was his pawn. Still, she was his only hope of getting as far as he needed to go so he nestles up against her and takes her thumb between his forefinger and thumb.

"Of course I am".

He kisses her to avoid suspicion but it lacks any true passion.

It seemed to satisfy none the less.

"She won't tell and even if she does we'll be too far gone for them to catch us".

He pulls away, sour, and continues to lead their journey to the cabin. They would rest tonight and make ground tomorrow.

he spoused in the dead of the night it could be Mabel beneath him and not lucy grey. He could put meat on her bones to give her a fuller figures like Mabel's. Ensure that Lucy-grey keeps her long hair and perhaps convince her to put it back in a braid like Mabel kept hers.

In day light so long as Lucy-grey was not directly in his eye sight he could pretend that it was Mabel's hand he clung to.

he had resolved himself to a life of pretend by the time they reached the cabin. Only to find the key to his freedom underneath the floor boards.

He picks up the gun tenderly, eyeing it as if it would disappear.

'What is it?' Lucy-grey asks.

He turns around and shows her. She must have known she was done before Coriolanus did. she made a quick escape to go get Katniss while Coriolanus was still distracted by his freedom.

He had made a comment about rain and she had made one back but he wasn't sure that exacts. He had them which means he didn't have to give up his Mabel.

Unless Lucy-grey blind with jealousy turned him in. His eyes flick to the door. She had served her purpose but now had to be eliminated for his future.

he follows his champion into the woods. Calling out for her. She was a killer, but so was he.

"Lucy-Grey!" He calls, looking for any source of colour he could find.

He saw a pop of orange in the distance and headed for it. It was his mothers scarf. he huffs and puffs as he picks it up, Mabel wouldn't treat his mothers things like this.

A snake jumps out as he lifts it before it runs away to quick for Coriolanus to get a good look at it to see if it was poisons or not.

He lets out a wicked laugh. he was going to feel bad for killing her. It was not her fault she was in love, but now the only thing he would feel is satisfaction.

He punches the ground as the pain pluses up his arm.

"Was that poisonousness? are you tryin to kill me?' he calls out once more, "Lucy-Grey! I said are- you- trying -to- kill- me?'

he picks up his gun once more and begins to hunt. He needed to kill her fast so he could get back to the medical Centre. It wouldn't do to die just as he is winning.

Singing could be heard and he whips in its direction before the mocking jays picked it up. Soft footed he follows, pushing down large bush with his gun.

he must have spooked her as she took of running gaining his attention. He fired a shot, and he could see her stumble, possibly hit, but she kept running.

He took off after her, his heavy pointed gun slowing him down. he pushes through the forest to where he expected her to be laying and begging for her life but finds the spot empty.

She was there, he suspects bending down to pick up her earring, but now lost to the sounds of the forest and damn mocking jays.

He lets off the camber into the sky hopping to kill some of the birds to quiten the sound. He ran out of bullets before he could make a difference.

It didn't matter she wouldn't survive out here on her own, and she would be too smart to show her face in district 12 again with the mayor and now officer Coriolanus looking out for her. When he returned to base he could explain to commander Hoff that he followed a rebel into the forest where he was attacked by the snake. He would suggest that a fence be put up around the district so no other lesser peace keeper would die, and no better rebel could make it their base.

Then he would find where Mabel lived, and take her away with him.

The idea fueled his movements as he packed up the guns and sunk them in the water. But as he let go for them to sink, he realized all the holes in his plan.

Even if he could convince her to come to the station with him by a gun in her side, subdued with threats to her family. How would he convince Commander Hoff to let her on the train. Could he somehow sneak her on the train past the people. Would they allow him to bring a luggage so large to officer training. And even if he managed to get her to district 2 how would he keep her a secret.

No. He had to leave her. Wait until he plowed through officer training and got back to the Capital. From there he could figure out how to bring her to him.

It was a delight when Dr Gaul called him back to the Capital instead. He had wanted to angle himself into a higher position, perhaps finish university, before he made his move. But thoughts of her marrying, giving up what was his, plagued his mind.

He wasn't regretful as he stood out in the cold. It wasn't a lie when he told Dr Gaul she was effecting his work. It was hard to stay focused in University, and in his apprenticeship. The districts married young never knowing how much time they truly had left.

It was a dangerous place and Mabel was in habit of offering a helping hand to crook and traitors. It was best that she took her place beside him now. He would just have to learn how to juggle yet another thing.

he wouldn't have much time for her between work, university, the steep climb to the top, and keeping favor with the Plinths as they doted on him as a son. But Tigress and Grandma'am would keep her company within the walls of the Snow penthouse.

He still lived with them. kept under his watchful eye and protection. He could now offer them a life that the head of the Snow household should be able to offer. The least they could do was look after his girl while he was away.

He straightened up as a small commander and a handful of peace keepers make their way across the platform.

A large peace keeper carried a small girl in his arms. She was unconscious. Not what he had asked, but perhaps made it easier on all parties.

He jumps down from the carriage as they near. He could see her cheek was swollen and busied. Her brown hair stuck together with mud and twigs. Her skin is dirty, bare and covered in goosebumps from the cold.

Still he considered her beautiful.

"give her to me" He demanded, readying his arms to take her. Mabel is slipped into them. She dirties his suit but he doesn't mind.

"tell the Conductor we are ready to go".

With his strength he hauls them both up into the private carriage. He takes her to the booth and lays her down so her feet were by the window and her head was resting on his thigh.

He shoves off her gloves so he could unbutton his coat and rest the soft material over her. It was warm in the cabin but he could feel a slight shake of her soaked body.

The train takes off and pushes him slightly back into his seat from the force. Once it gained a steady pace, the servants rose from their compartments and entered the cabin to serve coffee and cake.

They left him at his request, and remained drinking coffee and eating treats with one hand while the other laid upon Mabel's shoulder.

He was sure once they reached home he would get a lot of good work done. It would be early morning by the time the train reached the station. By the time he got her home, tigress and Grandma'am would surely be awake and having breakfast.

Grandma'am would be no bother. From a young age she allowed Coriolanus to do as he pleased. But Tigress would inundate him with questions and demands. He wondered if she would still be sleeping at this point in time. he hoped she would. Feilding question from two angry women at once might be too much for him to bare.

Until that point he allowed himself to enjoy this time. He was sure it would be some time before he got Mabel quiet again. The silence allowed him to plan his week. Summer break was coming up which meant he all his assignments were due. The Pliniths had wanted him to come vacation with them but now that wasn't a possibility. He would have to make up a story of Grandma'am ill health.

He could see the sun peeking up, and knew they must be close. Going into a tunnel being surrounded by vast nothingness and emerging through the city Centre, Coriolanus knew he had gotten away with it. He had the money, the power, and now the girl. All that was left was presidency, and that was ever so fast flying into his reach with the help of Dr Gaul.

The train stops and announces its arrival. he picks her up, wrapped in his coat and jumps off the train before the servants could position the ramp.

he ignores their warm wishes and heads straight to his chaffeur waiting outside of the station. He again ignores any form of greeting as he enters into the car. The driver closes the door he was holding open, asking as he sat back in the drivers seat if home was the destination.

A simple yes and the car took off.

he held Mabel on his lap as they drove home. He could see the driver look back in his mirror and Coriolanus wanted to put the divider up between them but didn't want to take his hands off his Mabel to do so.

It wasn't a long drive home, and he found himself barking at his driver to hurry up and open his door. Despite what was awaiting for him at home.

With the elevator now restored, he didn't have to carry her up flights of stairs. It was too early for the residents to be up and heading to work but the quicker he got Mabel inside the more secure he felt that when time came he could sell her as a unknown recluse heiress without too much trouble.

His keys were in his pocket which he couldn't reach without letting her go. Instead his shoes kick the bottom of the door and tigress is quick to answer.

'Coryo! oh my god"

He pushes past her, heading across the room to where Grandma'am sat at the breakfast table.

'What happened? is she alright". Tigress follows him to where he stood.

"She looks district!" Grandma'am muttered with disgust.

Tigress Places her hand across Mable's forehead to check for fever. She had always done it to Coriolanus as a child.

He shifts her away from Tigress's touch. He wanted to be the one that looked after her, and if Tigress felt even a slight fever he would never be able to shoo her away.

"What happened?" she asked again, peering over his shoulder to the thankfully still unconscious girl.

"Let me put her down first, Tigress" Coriolanus demanded.

he walked past Grandma'am at the table who had resumed eating her breakfast, to his room. He kicks the door closed behind him and lies Mable on his bed.

She had dried but so had the mud. It cacked her dress and along her legs. She would need a good bath and Coriolanus would need new bed sheets but for the moment he settled for retrieving a warm wash cloth from his bathroom and rubbing the dirt from her face.

She stirred a little, and he thought for a second she would wake up to see him hovering over her with a rag in his hand. But she didn't.

He thought about kissing her after seeing her deep state, but she was covered in dirt. He wasn't entirely sure that his lips would even meet skin.

It was a good thing too. He had enough to explain to Tigress who would have busted into his room at the exact moment.

"Who is she?" Tigress whispered.

Coriolanus ignored her and began to take off Mabel's muddy boots. His long fingers undid the laces and pulled the shoe, throwing them across the room.

'Coriolanus!'

He strode over and took Tigress arm leading her back to the living room. He leaves the door open so he could hear if Mabel woke.

"She'll be staying with us for a while"

the rest of her life.

"Why?" a valid question that Coriolanus couldn't truthfully answer.

"I saved her. They were going to kill her in the districts" not a whole lie.

"But why bring her here? is she hurt?". Good hearted Tigress was going to be dreadfully upset when she found out the truth.

"She'll be staying here. And I need you, Tigress to be friend's with her. Look after her while i am away".

"I don't understand" She begins but is cut off.

"You don't need to understand. You just need to do as your told. Haven't I been good to you? Didn't I bring us from ruin to give you everything you deserved?".

"Yes, Coriolanus, but-"

"Do this for me, Tigress" he begs.

She looks up to him and sees her little cousin. Her darling, little cousin who she would do anything for.

"Okay, Coriolanus".

He kisses her cheek and lets her go.

"Coriolanus" his Grandma'am exclaimed, "You're clothes are filthy".

-------

Mabel wakes with a fright. She springs her body up upon the soft bed and panics. She could see high, well built buildings out of the window against blue skies. They had taken her to the capital.

She looks around the room to see the door wide open. She sprints to it running out and down the hall. Her bare feet slapping against the ground.

She skids along the floor to a halt having seen the three high members of society.

Coriolanus could only have thought of two worse times she could have woken up. He was hopping to get a few more hours to take his weekly meeting with Dr Gual and return home to complete his next assignment.

But she stood now in front of him with wild eyes. The Snows had taken to having tea in the living room.

Coriolanus dropped his cup down and rose to speak to her but she took it as a sign of aggression and lunged to take a cheese knife off the table.

Grandma'am shrieked at the sight.

'I don't want to hurt you" Mabel spoke.

"You don't need to. You're safe" Tigress consoles

"Where am I?" the girl asked in a hard voice.

'The capital" Coriolanus answered. It was the first thing he had ever said to her.

"I know that. Where in the Capital. The prison?".

"Take a look around you. Not much of a prison". Coriolanus takes a step froward and Mabel holds out her cheese knife.

The Avoxes had left the platter to enjoy as they drank their tea. Now Coriolanus wished he had thrown the board out after them.

"is that were I am heading?" .

Coriolanus doesn't answer but takes a step forwards.

"For heavens sake, Coriolanus. Stop, You're scaring the poor girl" Tigress rose also to regain her cousin but he was too far out to reach to grab without causing the girl to act rash.

"Coriolanus" his name sounded heavenly from her lips, "you take another step and i promise I'll dig this knife into your stomach".

"I am not going to hurt you" he promises.

'I might hurt you" Mabel retorts.

"Get her, Coriolanus!" grandma'am urges and he shudders at himself loosing what remained of his good guy image.

"You're not going to the Capital prison. Just give me the knife and we can have a cup of tea and talk about this".

He holds out his hand expectedly but she keeps grip of it.

"If not for the prison. What am I here for?"

That was a question he could not answer in front of his cousin and grandma.

He points to the kitchen area as if some one was there, 'Get her" he yells to no one.

Mabel stupidly looks giving Coriolanus a chance to get close enough to pin her to the wall. He lays his forearm against her chest, keeping her flat against the wall, using his other hand to clamp down upon her fingers, repeatedly hitting her hand against the wall until she lost grip of the knife.

He kicks it backwards across the floor. He can hear Tigress calling out to him and Grandam'am cheering.

But the fight wasn't beaten out of her yet. His proximity allowed her to bite down on his shoulder. Her bruised cheek no longer a concern or mystery for him.

He groans throwing her to the floor, where he promptly picked her up again before she could catch her breath. He wraps his arms around hers and pulls her to her feet, pushing behind her back to his room.

She kicks and wails in his arms, but she was a starving district girl and he was a well built man. He gets her there with little trouble and throws her to the ground over the doors threshold. She is hardly on her feet before he locked the door.

Tigress had followed him. He didn't notice until her hand went flat against the wooden door. Pressing against the noise of mabel's banging.

"You can't leave her like this".

"She made the choice. I was happy to leave her in the living room with you".

he takes tigress back to the living room once more pushing on the small of her back.

'i am late already. Make sure Grandma'am doesn't call any peace keepers, while i am gone".

"where are you going?" Tigress wraps herself around his arm as he walks to the door.

'i have to met with Doctor Gaul" he explains to Tigress, "leave her there. I'll get out as quick as I can, until I do Just leave her to kick and scream. She dangerous, Tigress. Do not try and open that door".

The only key to his room hangs on his key chain but tigress was a innovative women.

"She's only a girl" Tigress counteracts.

"A district girl!' grandma'am yells.

he turns to meet her gaze.

"I'll be home as soon as I can" He looks in his cousins eyes for defiance, "Can i trust you?".

"Of course" her loyalty lied with him.

"The door remains locked until I get home then".

He shrugs off her hold as he puts on one of his old coats, and runs out the building with dirty clothes on.

-----

"You're nearly an half an hour late, Mr Snow".

Dr Gaul was in the same position as yesterday. Digging into a poor animal, trying to manufacture it as it screams.

"I know". The driver who was weary after waiting all day and night yesterday was not on top of his game in getting Coriolanus here.

She eyes his dirty clothes under his coat. Nothing left unnoticed in her presence.

'i take it you got your girl after you left me yesterday"

"i did"

''And i take it she wasn't all that happy to see you".

Coriolanus felt slightly upset that she didn't seem to remember him from his peace keeping days. To be fair, it was Lucy-grey she was focused on. She loved music and dancing, coming to every gig and staying at the front the whole night while Coriolanus watched from the back. Maybe it was for the best. He could present himself as a new man.

"She was ecstatic".

Dr Gaul put down after tools, and the animal stop squealing dead.

"So that's happy blood soaking through your shirt"

Coriolanus looks to his injured shoulder to see it leaking blood. Her biting wasn't a warning.

he huffs out and squeezes his eyes shut annoyed.

"Give me todays assignment. I'll do it at home".

Dr Gaul rises from her chair and pushes his coat and shirt aside to examine the bite wound. He stands still and allows her to.

"No assignment today. You look like you've got your hands quite full".

She places a hand on his bit shoulder and he drops it away in pain.

Dr Gaul begins one of her horrid laughs.

"this one might survive you after all".

And maybe dipper says a few more things and he starts putting it together like okay Mabel was maybe kidnapped?? and she and dipper killed whoever did it? thats. fine probably. maybe bruce would be weird about it but that seems acceptable to damien. weird felon uncle maybe helped hide the body? likely.

and then he starts having Feelings about it

Honestly I like the idea of 'Damian has a crush and has no idea how the fuck to handle it assassin training did NOT prepare him for this.'

[stans-kissing]

last night i went insane thinking about putting dipford into identity v. this is kinda just dipford as a doctor/patient au. so here are my takes on dipford as emily dyer/emma woods and ada/emil from identity v. these are copy and pasted from discord and i wrote these in a frenzy ok enjoy

if u play idv i will kiss u on the lips

emma would be dipper and emily would be ford. im chosing to ignore everything that comes before emma going to the asylum because idk how to make it fit with them. also i guess mabel doesnt exist bc idk how to fit her in. ANYWAYS dipper as a little what idk 12? idk how old she was gets admitted to white sand street asylum with the rest of the orphanage kids and ends up in dr ford's care. he didn't realize they were related until he actually met the kid and then he put two and two togethet that same last name and he looks So much like ford as a child so he kinda gives dipper special treatment during his stay. plot twist. he gets electroshock therapy. (this technically takes place in the 1800s ok.) so yknow dippers kinda traumatized anyways whatever that happens ford ends up leaving the asylum to start his own clinic, feeling horrible that he has to leave dipper there, but he goes anyways. ok time skip yadda yadda he kills dippers momm yadda ydaaaa. ok here is where i kinda split off from canon bc i dont wanna include the manor and stuff. fords biggest regret is not being able to 'save' dipper (for context, emma is canonly bat fuck crazy. she kills a man by suffocating him in a suitcase and then sutffing him iin a scarecrow and setting him on fire when she grows up) after fuck9ng up serverly in his own clinic (killing a dippers mom on accident during an illegal abortion and leaving her body to bleed out and then stuffing her in garbage bags and letting the koyotes behinf his clinic eat her. cool right.) ok after fucking up hardcore style he decides to devote himself to finding dipper and fixing his past mistakes, he becomes all he thinks about obsessively, he feels endless amounts of guilt for not being able to fix him while he was still in the aslyum, so he changes his name and sets out for dipper. when they eventually meet again dipper becomes ULTRA HARDCORE OBSESSED WITH HIM. keep in mind hes fucking insane ok. ford becomes his object of worship, so much so that it creeps ford out a little bit. ford is his angel that has come to save him, dipper's devoting all of himself to ford and he trusts fully that ford is his savior and will grant him a key to nirvana. when dipper eventually kills the guy in the suitcase n stuff he does it because he thinks ford would be proud of him. hes fucing obsessed with the guy. i need you to know its not mutual obsession. ford does this out of guilt for the harm he inflicted on dipper's mind when he was still a child, he needs to fix dipper so he himself has a chance at salvation, he has no romantic feelings for dipper if anything they're fatherly, but dipper. another story. absolutely in love with the guys

and here’s my adamil take

okay. dipford adamil lock in. this takes more of a darker twist on the original story bc. yknow. uhhmm incest and pedophilia??so. i think adas actions in canon come from a good place and she genuinley loves emil, but for ford?Yeah sorry no. some context, ada is a psychologist at white sand street aslyum and emil is her patient. ok so similar startup to the emiemma one, yadda yadda ford realizes theyre related but this time instead of just wanting to care for dipper, he bcomes obsessed. unlike emma, emil has extreme psychological damage, he is insanely conflicted 24/7 and undergoes sooo many terribly painful procedures that make him worse. so dipper is fucked basically. he's like an abused dog, flinching at unpredicted touches and biting the hands that feed him one moment and then becoming docile and braindead the next minute. he's being absolutely abused at this asylum and especiallly because this takes place 1800s you can image the kind of treatment he's getting. ANYWAYS. ford is his doctor, his psychologist, and he sees the absolute torture dipper is being put through. he becomes obsessd with trying to heal him, to fix his broken brain, just obsessed with dipper in general honestly, so he steals him. he throws him in his car in the middle of the night and drives him as far away from the aslyum as they can get. he begins his own treatment on dipper, testinf to see what works on his broken little mind anf what doesnt, he ends up using a looot of hypno therapy, and for a while that was working, dipper was getting better, honestly he was just constantly dissassociatioing so tbh it really wasnt but whwtaver it was working, dipper wasnt in pain from his own mind (prime time for ford to take advantage of him!) but then they hypnotism stopped having an effect on him, it was doing more harm than good, he wasnt getting any sleep for he was tormented byhis own memories and he woke up crying multiple times a night. dipper knew ford was trying to save him, that even if his methods put dipper in pain it was from a good place (no it wasnt) basically hardcore grooming ok. dipper thinks ford is his savior and the only good thing he has in this world, he clings onto him like a lost child (because thats what he is dipper you are 12 years old) he trusts for entirely and doesnt question a single thing he does, but dipper is.. more like property to ford. something to be studied, a challenge of something to fix. in canon ada and emil get married but idk if that would work. anyways. when ford's treatments stop having any progress he ends up giving dipper a Hardcore lobotomy and he becomes newphewboywife hardcore style.

anyways i was also thinking about billford/stan as richard and his sister. So more to come probably.

[rodolfoparras]

Wolverine pussyfucker here to fill in gravity falls lore info!

Stan got kicked out and sold sham products (Stan-vac: it sucks more than anything!) until he got a letter from ford telling him "hey pls pull up to my reclusive shack"

WELLLLLL FORD HAS BEEN BUSY!!

He accidentally summoned a dream demon from the second dimension named bill ciphwr and entered a toxic yaoi relationship where bill would use ford to try and get a physical manifestation while manipulating (and lowky falling in love) and ford was in love with him and referred ti him as a muse

Untillll they broke up and bill went a little wacky

So bill was using ford to build a portal to let him into the third dimension, byt ford was like "shit i need to destroy this" after they broke up so he was like "stan can you take my journals where i detail expressly how to build this portal and go a thousand miles away and never talk to me again"

Stan was pissed because "we havent talked since we were teens and now u want me to leave!? Frick you!!" And accidentally pushed ford INTO said portal, ending up with ford going through universes in an attempt to destroy bill and/or get home

Stan was like "shitballs i need to bring my brother home" and spent thirty years pouring over 2/3 journals and figuring out complex math and science while making as much money as possible to pour it into fixing up the portal because he loved his brother so much

WELLL he had 2 great nieces/nephews named mason/dipper and mabel, who pulled up to gravity falls when their parents were fighting one summer and dipper found the missing journal so stanley was like "hey =) fork it over =) i have GYAT to finish the portal"

MEANWHILE ford was becoming hot and doing interdimensional mercenary stuff and finally he was about to kill bill cipher when the portal opened back up and he was sucked back into gravity falls

But yeah stanley stole fords identity to fix the portal to bring ford home

If you held me at gun point and asked me what the show was about I’d never be able to come to this conclusion Jesus Christ I thought it was about two kids and a weird old man never ever would I guess this is the plot behind it

ALSO THE ROMANCE IS REAL?? I THOIGHT IT WAS A JOKE!! AND HE TRIED TO KILL HIM AG THE END??

And dear god poor Stan his whole life he’s just trying to make up for mistakes he’s made and they aren’t even small like hey get better at communicating with your brother no it’s hey fix this portal to bring ur brother home😭

HKBIGKBUB HELLOOO ‼️<3

CAN I PLS REQUEST AN OSCAR X FEMALE READER WHERE READER IS BASICALLY MABEL'S BODYGUARD [ role playing of course bcs she's still a kid]

so like her family reader clings to mabel and is always with her when she doesn't have classes [maybe she's oscar's playmate] and is so good at using a sword [ better than oscar lmao] so she decides to become mabel's bodyguard but she's so young so you could say she's role playing but when mabel was about to get kidnapped [ she stayed in the castel because it was late and oscar insisted that she stays for the night and she agreed bcs her guts told she should stay] she was the first one to go to her with esteban even thought her room was so far from mabel's room [ how did she hear her, bodyguard's feeling ig] it would be so funny if she was a simp just like mabel's family so she was about to kill that ugly man [i would've cursed him but i don't want to break my fast lmao] both because he was about to kidnap mabel and because he saw mabel rolling before her, does he even know how much she waited to see her sweet cute mabel roll‼️

bonus point if reader is cold and calm that even her parents rarely see her smile but after the accident by a day she apologies to mabel because she wasn't there to protect her as if she could understand her [she does] so mabel asks her to hug her and boom , reader's hugs her and smile , i really wants to see oscar's reaction to his crush smiling infront of him for the first time

THAT'S ALL‼️<3

THANK U AND PLS TAKE YOUR TIME‼️‼️<3333

And I tried to hold her(Oscar x fem! Reader)

-HIHI mind that a newborn can walk I remembered half way threw taht she couldn’t 😾!TYSMMMM FOR REQUESTING <3333 mwah

“Y/n” The pink head yelled running towards the girl, Y/ns eyes filled with glee at the sound of Mabel’s voice.

“Mabel!” The girl replied with the same excitement opening her arms to greet the princess. Mabel accepted the invitation and hugged the girl back happily. “Y/nn can you play with me this time” she whined

"I can, but only for a little while. I have to go somewhere with Oscar later," Y/N replied.

"That's okay! I want to show you what my dad got for me," Mabel said, taking Y/N's hand and dragging her to her room.

A while later, Oscar peered through the door with a grin on his face. "Y/N, we have to go now," he said, entering the room.

"Oh, right now? I must have lost track of time," she mumbled to herself before standing up. "Alright, Mabel, bye!" Y/N waved her arm and walked out the door with the silver-haired boy.

"I like it when Y/N doesn't have any classes," Mabel thought to herself as she watched the two exit her room.

"Plus, if only adults took her secretly, she could have been my bodyguard instead of Lisandro," she thought, looking around the room until she spotted the familiar man. She scrunched up her face in disgust.

It was no secret how much she hated the man.

A few hours had passed since Mabel and Y/N departed. The crown princess could hear muffled noises from the opposite end of her room. Being on the floor, she slowly crawled towards the sound and listened to the conversation.

"Oscar, I really can't stay. I would if I could, but I didn't even tell my parents," the girl, whose voice was familiar to Y/N, argued.

"It's fine, Y/N! We can send a letter to your parents. It's far too late for you to go out now," he argued back.

The argument between the two slowly faded as she kept thinking. Y/N was having slight doubts about leaving.

"Fine," the girl agreed hesitantly. With that, Mabel heard her older brother say something, then footsteps.

Soon it was time for Mabel to go to sleep. Of course, since she naturally couldn’t sleep, she decided to learn how to flip or roll over.

Earlier that day, the priests who had been trying to take Mabel away were allowed to see her. Safe to say, she didn’t even like them.

The pink-haired girl could sense something was wrong and stared around the room. From the corner of her eye, she saw the same priest walking closer to her, whispering about how she'd be coming with him. Her instincts kicked in, and suddenly she flipped over, kicking the man somehow in his face.

He was surprised, but soon Y/N and Esteban’s voices were heard. The priest had been thrown into jail.

“I wanted to see Mabel roll!” The young girl mumbled angrily staring at the priest in handcuffs.

The emperor stared at his daughter for a second before reverting his attention back to the culprit.

y/n got closer to Mabel, her expression was sad, the girl stared at the pink head before holding her tiny hands and gently rocking them back and forth.

“I’m sorry I wasn’t able to see you roll over” the girl cried slightly in anger. Mabel moved her arms and hugged the girls head as if reassuring her that it was okay.

after all this was the first time Mabel had seen her cry.

After everything was settled, the next day news of the princess getting kidnapped was the new hot topic in between the commoners.

it made y/n feel even more guilty and the fact that she didn’t was supposed to be there for her but she wasn’t she was asleep.

So y/n quickly went to the princess’s room , with one come in the girl entered her eyes to the floor.

Mabel didn’t like the sight one but it only reminded her of her brother, the older girl got closer and knelt down once more.

“Mabel I’m really sorry for not being able to protect you” she said her voice laced with sadness slightly breaking apart.

the girl began crying, did Mabel mean that much to her?.

Mabel hugged the girl reassuringly, “it’s okay you didn’t know” she replied, after a while the girl calmed down.

When she did she stood up, and for the first time she smiled, a genuine smile that you can tell apart.

At that moment, Oscar came in he immediately ran up to y/n after noticing the tears on her face.

But with his shocked expression, Mabel was able to tell that this was also his first time ever seeing you smile.

“Y/n don’t cry” he reassured, “I’m not” the girl replied with a smile still on her face. Oscar couldn’t stop he couldn’t utter a word even all he could do it stare.

“Y/n even though your always so pretty, I think your smile will be engraved into my mind forever, Your so pretty smiling”

[deadwriter16]

Since you recently got into Gravity Falls. I fear I must ask the age old question of if you could cast bnha characters into the series who would be who?

ok to be completely honest with u i thought abt this and i genuinely think that none of the characters from either show are similar to one another at all barring the creepily similar ford + dipper and all might + deku parallels but those mostly just have to do with adults taking advantage of a kid's blind trust in them. also bkg wouldnt last a day in gravity falls he would die on day 1. dipper would hate deku i think (bc he sees himself in deku and he hates himself). hed try to kill him on sight and deku would be like why is this 12 year old beefing with me. i think ochako and mina combined could be similar to mabel but i just think the gfalls characters are so unique and special and of their own that they couldnt be any of the bnha characters LMAO

this sounds like bnha slander now but i love both shows i swear

[warmshotamilk]

FAULBCDT - for the ship thing Points if you get the reference <3

I don't <3 I'm sorry LMAO

F - What’s the longest you’ve ever been in a fandom?

Well I've been in the South Park fandom since 2017 and I haven't left yet so-

A - Ships that you currently like a lot. (They don’t have to be OTPs because not everyone has OTPs.) Friendships, pairings, threesomes, etc. are allowed.

Same answers from when someone asked me for my 3-5 favorite ships. Rn, leaning more towards Luca x Alberto just because I recently rewatched the movie

U - Three favorite characters from three different fandoms, and why they’re your favorites.

1. Kyle (South PArk, obvi) - Because I am in love with him

2. Luca (Luca) - He is a baby boy. Very sweet. I want to rewatch Luca again now LMAO

3. Tails (Sonic) - I am also in love with him and also he is a smart, fluffy little baby boy. My heart is easily won

L - Say something genuinely nice about a character who isn’t one of your faves. (Characters you’re neutral about are fair game, as are characters you merely dislike. Characters that you absolutely loathe with the fire of ten thousand suns are exempt, as there is no point in giving yourself an aneurysm over a character that you hate.)

I'll do Pip from South Park for my mutual who likes Pip: He was honestly a really funny character and I'm a little disappointed they just sorta killed him off. Like I know WHY but I feel like more could have been done with him instead of just McFucking Murdering him

B - A pairing–platonic, romantic or sexual–that you initially didn’t consider, but someone changed your mind.

Mmmmm I could cop out and do literally any incest ship since it use to be a squick of mine but I WON'T

Actually, I will LMAO Dipper x Mabel (Gravity Falls)

It use to bug the hell out of me since 1. I prefer BillDip and 2. incest ships use to squick me out but 1. I am a multishipper now and 2. incest ships no longer squick me out LMAO

C - A ship you have never liked and probably never will.

Ky//man (South Park) <3

No offense to ky//man shippers but I will NEVER ship it. To an extent I get WHY one would ship it but for me it's too far. You do you but I will not join you

(typing it that way so it won't show up in search)

D - A pairing you wish you liked but just can’t.

Another one of my NOTPs: Cr//eek (South Park.) It's just meh to me but I dislike the ship because some (SOME!!) of the shippers are... too fucking annoying. They killed any interest I would have ever had in the ship and the ship is super duper popular so I WANNA like it but like... all the fandom content makes BOTH character super OOC and I just can't. The ship in canon is purely mid and the ship in fanon is unbearable to me

T - Do you have any hard and fast headcanons that you will die defending? 

Very South Park specific but I am VERY particular about my eye color hcs for all the characters, especially Kyle (I die on the hill of green eyed Kyle)

[seven-stars-in-his-palm]

hi mania. i am so tired and bored. im gonna spam yew with stan gifs because he is the guy ever and i think about him frequently

tbh this above gif is so parallel ford coded. he would fuckinh say that, probably with different wording but also he is so Issues. imagine if the kids gave ford the truth teeth somehow. i mean it technically wouldn't rlly work because unlike stan he Still Has teeth but imagine like hypothetically if it happened. imagine the Horrors. like

"hi grunkle ford :) how're you feeling today?"

"oh! good morning, mabel! i'm just grieving the loss of my brother whom i haven't seen in 30 years. i feel personally responsible for driving him away and possibly leading to his untimely death! how are you doing today :]"

"😶"

tbh. in canon truth teeth stan wpuldve probably let something slip about ford but it's a cartoon gotta Suspend ur Disbelief to imagine that somehow didn't happen

actually like. how do the truth teeth work that way. the wearer clearly has no problem with what they're saying. do they not realize they're telling the truth when they didn't mean to??? do they think they're still giving the same answer as they would've pre-truth teeth??? is lying by omission possible??? could you just pull a Selective Mute and not say anything and avoid telling the truth that way . i mean given you knew you were wearing the teeth but

actually that doesn't even make sense bc in the gif i just sent stan started getting existential Completely unprompted. that makes the chances that he didn't allude to ford that day Even Lower. again it's a cartoon so i'll accept it but like wow

god i sound like dipper rn. sorry for dumping a full analysis in ur inbox LMAO. speaking of dipper here's a gif of the storyboards where he kills dippy fresh bc that shows up if you search stan pines gifs and scroll reallu far down ig

this should've happened idc 💔 letmmy boy KILL

I’m thinking about truth teeth now…. Like what I thought happened was what u said, which is that Stan doesn’t know what he’s saying at all so the truth is completely unaware but also prompted. like I guess it goes both ways where if he’s asked a question he’ll answer unwillingly because well it’s FORCING you to tell the truth, and whenever he has a particularly truthful thought it just comes out. Which is even more odd why ford wasn’t mentioned….. hmmmmm. unlike you I Questioning that, especially since alex knew stan was gonna have a secret twin for most of this….. hmm. HMM. anyways. Yes Yes Yes on the ford thing. They all need therapy. God

[eldragon-x]

u mentioned a gravity falls/pmd au awhile ago and i was wondering if u had anymore thoughts on that you'd like to share...what pokemon are everyone, does it follow one of the pmd storylines or gf's or something different entirely...i've had Many gf/pmd thoughts so i'm curious hkrhslkg

OKAY SO I'm not planning to be super in-depth about this because it's just for fun but this follows the gf storyline, it's basically just Gravity Falls but everyone is a Pokemon and also the Fearamid would be the final dungeon because it's a fun concept to me.

Mabel and Dipper are a Plusle and Minun respectively, the Stans are Magnezone and I've been thinking about wether Bill would be Giratina or Necrozma but I think I'm sticking with the latter. Specifically, he'd be base form Necrozma usually, Dusk Mane Necrozma at the start of Weirdmageddon, and Ultra Necrozma after killing Time Baby (who would probably be Dialga in this).

[henriiiii-1001old]

can you talk abt the alt swap au :3 ?

ooooohohoho alt swap au </////3

here's my first post talking abt it just for reference :3

most of this that im gonna talk abt is from discord and it just gonna be a bunch of different stuff so cut me some slack xddd

and this is. a lot more than i thought so uuhhh enjoy another masterpost??? kinda??? CFVGBHNJ

"cain can travel through tvs and mabel can travel through mirrors, but cain cant travel through mirrors and mabel cant travel through tvs (at least on their own).

seth can travel through both, but they didnt know that until uh. until adam told him"

"i have an idea to how the end of vol 1 in this au would go so cain has been locked in his room for 3 days by this point, and basically the "uh oh, bad decision!" part would turn into more of a "cain killed abel" situation. the alt outside cain's door would mock cain and fake his sister's death to maybe make him succumb to M.A.D. finally, and it almost worked.

until mabel came in and dragged cain out of the house...

...based in the message i replied to," (which are the lil blurbs i pasted above lmao), "i think that when mabel was trying to help cain escape, she realized she also just trapped herself in cain’s room. but then cain realized somehow that he can travel through tvs. he took mabel’s hand, took them to trust him, and they went through. they end up in the static world and theyre like “tf is this” they do end up getting out though, and after they figure out where they were, they go back to mandela, grab seth, and fucking leave

also here's some toonbriel lore! bc hell yeah he deserves to be in this au B)))

"and he actually takes the place of dave in the au. i originally didnt have a technical spot for him and decided that putting toonbriel there would be cool.

his name is terry o'brien but he goes by "toony" around family bc he was super obsessed with cartoons when he was younger, whether it be on tv, comic books, etc

he's a pastor at st. gabriel's and is lt gabe's younger twin brother and theyve been two peas in a pod since they were super young. they did end up fighting on their different methods of trying to help the county, and terry argues that while gabe is literally doing nothing, terry has been giving people hope and shelter and food and so many things. this ends up causing them to split, and terry goes to dave for advice. turns out, dave has been using him as his prophet and ends up killing him because he's no longer of use to dave.

im still working out the details of how he helped dave tho, but gabe is devastated after losing terry. he was already stressed enough and was basically blamed for sgt maria's death (she's preacher who took ruth's place) back at the murray house, and losing one of the only things he lived for was heartbreaking. finding seth dealing with the horrors^tm helped a little bit bc he's actually helping someone he tried protecting in the past...

...im thinking gabe was the more protective one of the two as well as the more sociable twin. terry was super clingy and liked sticking around gabe bc he was the only person he knew.

not a childhood story, but i do imagine that gabe does know dave, and they probably met through terry! not sure abt how terry and dave met just yet, but gabe doesnt actually like dave all that much.

gabe immediately knew who to suspect when terry died, and the fact that he heard his voice after said death only made him more sure"

some lilith and seth lore

"lilith and seth were both troubled kids in school and they just. fought so much. and lilith had to deal with shitbag dave at mandelatech and was even forced to stay working for him once he revealed to her and he led the alternates. she has a LOT of pent up anger and just needs to get it out.

like i imagine that one time after seth found out he was an alt, he called lilith over for a fight, and she'd been itching for one since dave killed terry. she literally beat him to a pulp during that fight, but she stopped once she saw him look up at her. he looked hopeless and his eyes looked somewhat glazed over. he took slow, deep breaths even after he got the wind knocked out of him several times.

lilith new something was wrong. she ended up helping him recover and even asked what was wrong. he didnt really reveal the whole alt thing, but he mentioned having holes in his identity and how its been beating him up, especially since someone claiming to be his father wants to suddenly come (back) into his life.

since then, theyve worked towards trying to support each other and just trying to maybe be friends {:)"

ALSO I CANT BELIEVE IVE NEVER MENTIONED THIS!!!!!

yknow how in unholy gift sarah and tiffany are kinda rivals?? like tiffany likes to fuck w sarah bc she's bored? and she's usually v snarky and cocky?

lilith and eve are the exact same way except tat eve is like GENUINELY malicious and very manipulative. she takes advantage of lilith's dislike of mandelatech to make her do a bunch of shit for the alts, and it's asically a big old scheme to use lilith to advance the alts' plans.

i also think that thatcher is the one who told davis to go back and get seth. davis did go to cain and mabel first though, and they were VERY rightfully pissed. but they did eventually get seth and shit. seth was super avoidant of everyone after the whole thing though {:(

Dipper

Shoot him for no reason at all when they first met

Was annoying and scary in Dipper's dream to get under his skin and spook him besides establishing continuous physical contact with him which Dipper dislikes

Tricked him with his dream powers into believing he was really gonna lose all the data from the laptop so he could manipulate him into making a deal

The whole Bipper thing and we know that he can induce those he controls into a sleep state so they´re unaware of Bill actions like Ford and Blendin but Bill made sure Dipper WATCHED EVERYTHING he did with his body, hurt himself on purpose as he finds pain funny and had plans to throw himself of the water tower and make everyone believe Dipper had gone crazy and committed suicide so he could get stuck in the Mindscape forever. No to mention when he pulls Dipper´s arm he lets out a pained noise which means Bill made it hurt on purpose.

Humilated Dipper in front of his crew and threw him against a tree and burned the journals, the books he was most attached in the summer and the only connection he had to his great uncle even before meeting him, while he watched and sent two henchmaniacs to eat him

Threatened him so he could get expelled from Mabel's bubble and not ruin his plans

Was one of the choices between Mabel to kill, so he'd watch as his sister died by Bill snapping his fingers

Is literally the only person not only in the Pines family but the entire zodiac that Bill doesn't refer to by name and adresses him by his symbol, Pine Tree, in a mocking way. He does call Ford by his name the most or by Sixer as a nickname (Bill only refers to him as Six Fingers in Weirdmageddon Part 1), he does adress Mabel by her name to his henchmaniacs and a few other instances in official books and he never calls Stanley Fez, he adresses Soos by name in Sock Opera and he doesn't use Pentagram on Gideon nor Llama on Pacifica nor Ice for Wendy. Just Dipper.

Yeah that checks

I imagine if Bill were to rank the members of his zodiac it would be like

Ford (he made me feel important)

Mabel (this kid I like)

Gideon (a lil me fr who needs love advice but betrayed me however im a mercifull god so ill just make him do cute dances for eternity)

Pacifica (we are both monsters who cause harm no matter what we do or where we go)

Soos, Wendy and Robbie (u exist but I dont really care for extras)

McGucket (the annoying third wheel of a hillbilly unworthy of Dord's attention)

Stanley and Dipper (the sidecharacter PTSD Barnum, Bootleg Sixer old hack Ford had the disgrace of sharing DNA with and the annoying sweaty little Ford wannabe twerp)

Dipper was a thorn in Bill's plans but he did more than Stanley; whom the only true bad thing that made Bill hate his guts was punching him out of existance.

obsessed that bill's ranking of the pines family goes from

- ford ❤️ (just like me fr)

- mabel (ALSO just like me fr)

- stanley (worse version of ford)

- dipper (worse version of ford AND mabel)

So much for stardust chapter twenty six

Kenz’s POV:

I bolted up to Hailey, who grabbed the stake from her throat. “Always impulsive. Always having it your way!!!” Hailey tackled me, shoving me into the tree. The shapeshifter version of Hailey transformed into a giant roly poly and rolled into a ball, rolling away. “YOU COULDNT EVEN FUCKING STOP TO THINK ABOUT WHICH ONE WAS ME!!!”

“HAILEY!!! I’M—“ Hailey grabbed the snare and tugged it tightly around my throat. I gazed on in horror as the air escaped from my throat. It was then that I noticed a pair of golden eyes come from my cousin. The blood in my throat gurgled with my scream for help. My eyes darted around for Hailey’s mindscape form, but to no avail. Is this how I spend my final moments? Choked to death in front of a tornado by a demon possessing my cousin? My only human best friend I had for my entire life?

“DON’T DO THIS!!!” I sobbed, transforming back into my human form as the snare tightened around my neck. I gasped for breath, trying to kick Bill!Hailey off. Suddenly, the eyes turned back blue, but with the same hostility. “You were gonna kill me without checking who I was!” The snare snapped, causing my eyes to roll back into the sockets. “I’m sorry…” My head lolled to the side as Hailey was thrown off by Mabel. “WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING? THEY DITCHED MY FAMILY?!!!” Hailey threw the stake of the snare into the tree again, this time far out of my reach. I felt the tug of the wind pull at the snare as the tornado roared closer. “Hailey!!! Stop this!!! You don’t know what you’re…” The snare started crushing my windpipe. That, coupled with the pneumonia, made it near impossible to breathe.

The roar of the tornado grew louder as I felt my body go limp by itself. My breaths were harsh as shots fired from Hailey’s gun. I then realized that I barely even stabbed through the first layer of skin when I stabbed the stake in Hailey’s throat. I felt my body turn into the tornado as it picked up the tree. Thankfully, Hailey and Mabel’s were far out of the path of the tornado.

Panic surged through me as my body hurtled itself through the air. I flailed against the tangle of branches and shrapnel, trying to free myself from the tornado’s grasp. The tornado was going to the other side of town, away from the shack and other heavily populated areas. I remembered the seizure about a tornado hitting the town. Was that a vision? Images of Bipper holding me into an inferno in my human form (which can get burned) flashed in my mind. What about the fire vision?

I remembered the black she cat from the Clans. I remembered how she appeared in my seizure. How she told me to trust no one. I can’t even trust my own childhood best friend/cousin.

Does that mean I shouldn’t trust Ford? Who was that black cat? I felt the tornado start to disappear. The wind that was throwing me up suddenly stopped, causing me to hurtle back down into a crater caused by the storm. The branches from the tree caught me before I hit the ground, but stabbed themselves into my arms and legs at the same time. The blood soaked stake was split to splinters, freeing the tug on the snare. I gazed as the gun fell in my hand. I chucked it deep into the shrapnel and climbed out of the mess of branches.

Hailey and Mabel were both bruised and battered, soaked in mud, and pelted by the hail. The two stood opposingly before Hailey turned her attention to me. “H-how did you survive?”

“Why did you try to kill me?” As Hailey rushed to me, I turned to run, only for the snare to get caught on my foot. “AUGH!!! HELP ME!!!”

Hailey stared on as Mabel rushed to my side. Hailey seemingly found the gun in the shrapnel and grabbed it. Should’ve held onto the gun.

But what would I have done with it? I saw the black cat from my dreams appear again. “Mabel. I don’t know what to do. I’m hallucinating.”

Hailey cocked the gun, but looked unsure whether to shoot me or Mabel. “HAILEY!!! WHAT’S GOTTEN INTO YOU?!!”

“So you haven’t been keeping up with the family drama.”

“No one would talk to me.” I reached for the snare, but kept my eyes on Hailey. “Colt’s been missing for two weeks. This creature named Bill is the only one who knows where he is.”

“Wait, what did you say? Something about a creature named Bill?” Mabel managed to get the snare off of my throat. I breathed a big sigh in, finally able to breathe clearly. “Look. Bill might promise you amazing things. He might promise you the answers to all life’s greatest dilemma’s.”

“Uncle went insane after you left. He doesn’t care about us anymore!!! Everything has fallen apart and the blood of either you or the Pines is the only way to get it back!”

My gut wrenched at the hesitancy in Hailey’s eyes. “Hailey!!!” I felt something hit my spine as I saw the smoke from Hailey’s gun. Mabel charged at Hailey, but I tripped her just in time. “It’s no use.” I collapsed, shielding Mabel. “Hailey. Why would you do this? You were my only friend for so long…”

“Were we even friends?”

“Is your memory that bad? Do you seriously not remember all those adventures we had in my yard? The adventures we had in Palm Springs? Those trips to Cabo?” I gazed at the growing puddle of blood from my gut. “Someone told me to trust no one. But I don’t trust that…” I heard a pickup truck pull up. I noticed a pair of ice blue eyes from the driver. My relief turned to anger as I saw my father’s face rush out of the truck. “What the fuck is going on?”

“None of your concern.” I glared at my father, standing over Mabel. “Uncle! Have you found Colt yet?”

“Kenz…” His face was pale as he noticed the bullet hole in my stomach and Hailey’s smoking gun. He turned around coldly and charged at my cousin. “What did you do to my daughter? To your own cousin?”

BANG!!!

Panic was strewn across Hailey’s face as there was a gaping hole in my father’s head. I felt sick to my stomach as Hailey held the gun. “What did you do? He was your uncle?”

“Why should you care?”

“You don’t know what you’re doing! When did you last sleep?”

“I don’t fucking sleep!!” Hailey collapsed, tears streaming down her face. “He’s prying at my skull. Watching my every move.” Hailey cocked the gun again and aimed it at my head. “Nothing is ever worth it anymore. For all I know, Colt could be dead.”

I shook, gazing Hailey in the eye. My knees buckled beneath me as I accidentally head butted Hailey, knocking the gun out of her hands and into a rain soaked ditch. I heard a crunch and felt something sink into my chest, causing me to whimper. Hailey and I tumbled down the hill to the lake shoreline, nearly falling in. The lake stained itself red with all the blood pooling in it. I could only feel the rising and falling of Hailey’s breaths. Her eyes were closed, and her body was limp. I felt a tug at my eyelids as I stood over her. I held her in a tight embrace. “I’ll find a way for us out of this.” I sobbed before my eyes closed.
