HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GALACTA KNIGHT!!!! And congratulations to Meta Knight for experiencing the Cain Instinct for the first time.
Galacta Knight, as you might've been able to tell already, is one of my favorite characters, and KSSU is one of my favorite games (the original SS was my introduction to Kirby!) so I wanted to go all out. Happy day, old man. I pray for at least 20 more years.
Oh, and don't worry! He's not upset about the cake smash, he thinks it's funny. And he got back at him.
Tumblr media
As for the in-universe explanation for there being 16 candles in his cake?
Tumblr media
... 500+ didn't fit in safely.
The birthday boy and his family were just a bit too flammable.

Cipher's Personal Portable Portal
'How they meet' won the poll!
So just to make things fully contextualized, as far as they're gonna be - here's the full first chunk of this stupidly long fic I'm writing.
I hope you enjoy!
Standing in the wreckage of the burnt-out building, Dipper wishes he didnā€™t know who did it.
Anyone else would have left some trace sign. A scrape of blood, a hint of burnt hair. A frigginā€™ decent eyewitness report, even.
But here, like last time, and the time before that, and the time before that - there's absolutely zero traces. No video footage, nobody around at the time of the crime. Not even footprints.
Dipper kicks one of the remaining supports, sending a puff of charcoal up from the impact.Ā 
If he knew the bastardā€™s name, heā€™d curse it all to hell.
With a sigh of exhaustion, Dipper sits on a chunk of scorched foundation. He pulls his shoe off to tip the ashes out of it; thereā€™s enough that the resulting cloud leaves him coughing.Ā 
Around him, the scoured west wing of the museum is silent, still, and empty. A grey-black skeleton of its former self, filled with dust and charcoal.
This arson is yet another one in a very, very long line of crimes. Theyā€™re not just ā€˜unrelated incidentsā€™, or ā€˜bizarre coincidencesā€™. Dipperā€™s not ā€˜being paranoidā€™ or ā€˜coming up with some pretty weird conspiracy theoriesā€™.Ā 
Thereā€™s only one person who could manage this. The same guy who turned a bank upside down - literally -Ā  and the same one who impaled a mob boss on an oversized silly straw and gave tails to half of a household last week.
Itā€™s all connected.
Each crime is marked with the same style, mostly by how remarkably weird they are. Along with a thread of magic, distinct in its composition. One so distinctive that it's almost a flavor. Though admittedly, without certain magical analysis, itā€™s pretty hard to detect.Ā 
And if other freelance magicians would take the time and look at Dipperā€™s notes, maybe one of them would help find this asshole.
Dipper stalks through the burned building, fists balled in his pockets. He stumbles over a fallen support column, and nearly trips before he makes a hopping retreat back.Ā 
Though the culprit has been at his game - whatever ā€˜gameā€™ that is - for a good half a year now, this is the most destructive ā€˜incidentā€™ so far. Nobody was hurt, since it happened in the middle of the night. The one relief from a terrible crime, that only objects were obliterated in the process -Ā 
But the ashes speak for themselves.
Here, thereā€™s nothing left.
He breathes in slowly. Then regrets the attempt at calming himself as he coughs again.
Whatever the culpritā€™s initial motive was, it hasnā€™t lasted. Heā€™s grown not only in ambition, but also in his abilities. Things are escalating at a rate Dipper doesnā€™t like to think about.
Someone has to get to the bottom of this. Before itā€™s too late. Dipperā€™s got his number, metaphorically speaking, so. Well, might as well be him.Ā 
And when he proves that all of this chaos was created by the same person -Ā 
Well. A little boost to his meager reputation couldnā€™t hurt. Maybe a few medals and accolades. There isnā€™t a trophy for best monster hunter, but he can imagine standing on a podium and -
Dipper waves that thought off, swearing under his breath. Stupid. He has better things to focus on.
Heā€™s the only freelancer on the case. Definitely the only one taking this seriously, the only one who thinks itā€™s the same person to begin with -Ā  and even heā€™s starting to have some doubts about ever finding the bastard.Ā 
Six months of tracking this guy down, and what does he have to show for it? A ramshackle compilation of incidents, a vague feeling of magic, and a description that could fit any bottle-blond actor with bad fashion sense. Scraps. He might as well pin them up and connect them with red string for all the good it does him.
Another kick sends Dipper hopping back, clutching his foot with a swear. He winces at the hole in the tip, he nearly punctured his foot on a nail.
Just his luck. Wrong place, wrong time, always just barely avoiding disaster. Dipper shows up whenever thereā€™s an event, heā€™s got the means to follow the guy - but heā€™s always just a little too late.
Even worse, lately the guyā€™s been picking placesā€¦ not at random, exactly. More like he causes trouble wherever itā€™d be the most annoying to follow.
The culprit must know someone is on his trail. But heā€™s not making it impossible to keep up, or even majorly difficult for a determined pursuer. Just really, really irritating, like making moves at three in the morning, or pausing just long enough for someone to catch up, then heading right back where he came from. At one point Dipper had to trudge through a literal swamp, only to find that bastard had sauntered in by baking himself a neat little trail right through the damn thing. There wasnā€™t even footprints to follow.
Itā€™s a repeated point in Dipperā€™s notes. Whoever this is, theyā€™re a total, absolute dick.
With a sigh, Dipper runs his fingers through the ash on the museumā€™s floor. Not a single thing is left beyond the shattered glass of some display cases, and the charred remains of the building. Even the enchanted metal tools have been melted into slag.Ā 
The day before yesterday, he could tell something was up. Building energy, something that felt like it was made by the culprit. Something with the twinge of a powerful curse, coiled and being wound up like a spring.Ā 
Dipper spent that evening convincing - okay, maybe also bribing, thank you Stan for the idea - the museum to let him borrow materials. The day after that, he spent all night, morning, and most of the afternoon running around slapping up anti-curse emblems. The entire south of the city warded, in a fine careful net of spellcraft. The work was exhausting. Both in running around, and in the amount of magic heā€™d needed to use.
But it was worth it. That evening, in the quiet and very uncursed city, all the emblems activated. Dipper would have sworn he sensed someone in the distance, cursing his own name. That night he went to bed with a smug sense of satisfaction, floating on a cloud of triumph.
Which is probably why the bastard burned down the museum next.
With another sigh, Dipper tucks his notebook back into his knapsack. Heā€™s gleaned all heā€™s going to for today; in the fading evening light, searching more is pointless.
So much for all the magical artifacts. Most of those had come in really useful in messing with the guy.Ā 
ā€¦How the hell did the culprit know where they came from, though? Heā€™d need a near encyclopedic knowledge of artifacts to know which ones Dipper used, then track them back to their origin.Ā 
Or maybe he just searched on the internet. Itā€™s hard to tell.
Dipper just wishes there were more clues. But just like every other incident, the guy up and freakinā€™ vanished.
No human can disappear like that without some very irresponsible use of power. That hope is one Dipperā€™s hanging his hat on. After six months? He has to be reaching his limits. Heā€™ll burn himself out before he can manage too many more incidents. Maybe Dipper will find him by stumbling on his withered, dissolving corpse.
Whoever this is is pretty strong, but no power is infinite. He canā€™t hide forever.
It canā€™t be too much longer. Wonā€™t be. Dipper has a plan, heā€™s gotten really close, and - Heā€™s good at his job, damn it. He knows he is.Ā 
Taking a deep, slow breath, Dipper lets it out. Patience is the name of the game here. Heā€™s just gotta keep moving.
One day, heā€™s going to catch up with that bastard. Heā€™ll see the guy in the flesh. Then heā€™ll grab that stupid dick before he can escape, again, and wipe that presumably smug look off his probably ugly face.
Turning around one last time, Dipper surveys the destruction, stuffs his hands in his pockets - and pauses.Ā 
A speck of light glints in the pile of ash. The last bit of evening sun, shining off a metallic surface.
Alert with surprise, Dipper scrambles over to the pile. Kneeling down, he brushes the dust carefully aside, careful not to disturb anything fragile that might shatter if handled wrong.Ā 
One thing did survive. Thank fuck, itā€™s not an absolute total loss. Just, uhā€¦ Ninety-nine percent of it.
He scuffles through the still-warm ashes, cupping his palms underneath the lump and lifting it from its bed. The motion sends white puff rising up as ash slips away from the artifact.
A small black, squarish thing rests on the pile, a bit larger than both his palms put together. The material is faintly warm from residual heat, insulated by the ash it laid in - and thereā€™s not a mark on it. Not even a scratch.Ā 
Dipper turns the artifact over in his hands with a frown. The shining black surface reveals no obvious buttons or secrets. Just a kind of phone-ish shape, though more square and squat. If he didnā€™t know any better, heā€™d say a guest dropped it on the rush to escape.Ā 
The fact that itā€™s still intact though. Nearly glowing with magic, a tremulous feeling under his palms - this is not dropped by some clumsy tourist. Not even Ford could put this together.
Ā Wiping at the object with his sleeve, Dipper manages to clean off most of the smooth surface. On one of the sides, dust clings to the thinnest of engravings. The very faint outline of an equilateral triangle. No runes or other magical scribing, justā€¦ a shape.
Dipper thinks back but - no, he doesnā€™t remember seeing this in the collection. A quick check online revealsā€¦
Basically nothing. There are - were - a bunch of stone and metal slabs in the archives, all described so poorly as to be useless. Some are even bunched up in groups. ā€˜Magical slab 1-24ā€™ and ā€˜Metal artifact 1-78ā€™, no description involved.
Not surprising. Probably dug up in some mass excavation site, transported here, then never really looked at again. The bulk nature of the shipment means it was overlooked, its magical properties never discovered.
After today, heā€™s just glad that even one item escaped this onslaught.Ā 
The other artifacts must not have had much to them. But some magical property in this artifactā€™s making must have saved it from the blaze. Fireproofing, perhaps? Against weird fire? Thatā€™s unusual. Maybe even unique.
As the only survivor, it really needs investigating.Ā 
Dipper glances over his shoulder, then around. With everyone evacuated, itā€™s quiet in the rubble. Nobody here would notice if, sayā€¦ a clue wandered off.
The artifact slips easily into his pocket. The shape conveniently looks just like a phone, even if the shapeā€™s a bit off. Not something that would attract any attention.
Whistling nonchalantly, ducking out of the way of local law enforcement and any onlookers - Dipper makes his escape.Ā 
Another day of pursuit. Another scene of disaster, the culprit there and gone in the blink of an eye.Ā 
Heā€™ll be up to something new, next. Never the same thing twice, never in the same place.Ā 
Dipper will follow in his evil tracks, of course. But for tonight - his fate is another crappy hotel room.Ā 
He ditches his backpack by the door, slumping against the wall and its chipped paint. He could start going through his notes, and the pictures of the arson. Put in more work, find further connections -Ā 
But itā€™s been a long day, and heā€™s tired. He might be magical, but heā€™s only got so much to work with. A reasonable nightā€™s sleep, if he can manage, will make the task loom less horribly over his tired brain.
With a sigh, he drops back on the mattress. Thereā€™s some bounce to it, springs squeaking like theyā€™re full of mice. Hell, maybe they are. The type of room he can afford isnā€™t exactly decadent.
That, though, should be temporary. Dipperā€™s career is only just starting; freelancers in the ā€˜solving magical problemsā€™ scene donā€™t get great rates. Especially as a beginner. Definitely without a partner; it makes him look super young. Like heā€™s just starting out, fresh-faced and not having any inroads.
Because this field is really stupid, and doesnā€™t pay attention to results. Dipperā€™s been fine on his own for years, and heā€™s done really cool things without that ā€˜networkingā€™ crap.Ā 
All by himself. Totally cool with that, because Dipperā€™s a cool guy, sometimes. If Mabel hypes him up enough on one of their phone calls, he almost believes it too.
Though it would be nice to have some backup, itā€™s hard to find someone who really gets the job. Or does it in the way that Dipper goes about it. The number of people who are willing to take long treks in hyper-magical territory to search for an obscure clue, or set up really complicated traps forĀ  dangerous monsters, or talk over high-level magical theory while sitting in the rain all night just to get one body-snatcher areā€¦
Well, besides Ford, who recently retired, there arenā€™t any. Only Dipper himself.
One day, things are going to change for him. All his effort will pay off. If he keeps solving mysteries, and fighting monsters, heā€™ll forge a reputation as someone who always gets the job done. No matter how hard it is, he can handle it. The work is picking up, too. The last six months have shown the biggest series of magical incidents in decades.Ā 
And heā€™s gonna be the one to get to the bottom of it.
Dipper Pines, the guy who proved itā€™s all connected. Heā€™ll have it laid out in facts and math, all the evidence. Theyā€™re all gonna see that he was totally right.
Once he finally gets this guy, everythingā€™s going to start looking up.Ā 
The sheets rustle as Dipper settles back, holding the artifact up over himself. He stares into the black surface, and a slightly distorted reflection narrows its eyes back at him.Ā 
A good mystery always intrigues him. This one should take his mind off the other, irritating one for a while.
The only remaining object from the fire is clean and smooth. A mysterious creation, of unknown purpose. Clearly riddled with magic, too; Dipper feels it running just under the surface like a rapid current. It gives the artifact a weight that has nothing to do with mass.Ā 
Power.
Did the criminal see this artifact, still intact after all the other magical objects were gone? Did he try to destroy it too, and fail? Or simply not notice heā€™d missed one out of thousands?
Whatever it is, itā€™s got a lot more going on than meets the eye.
Dipper casts a quick identifier, which comes back with nothing. Heā€™s not surprised. Thatā€™s the first thing anyone would try. If it was that simple, heā€™d already have the full description off the site.Ā 
With a shrug, he traces another set of runes, his own version, adding a little more oomph behind it -Ā 
And the magic leaps back instantly, with the bizarre sensation of a bouncy ball hitting concrete.
ā€œHuh,ā€ Dipper says, thoughtfully. He sits up, hunching over the slab in his hands. ā€œNow thatā€™s new.ā€
A more subtle approach, then. Tracing the lines of energy with the barest brush of magic upon magic reveals something deeply complex. Thin layers twist together deep under the surface, building an entire circulatory system. Dipper has to put it down for a moment, suddenly worried that it is organic.Ā 
When a cautious prod doesnā€™t get a response, he relaxes. Not fleshy, just complicated. Which also proves he was right earlier - the artifactā€™s just as powerful as heā€™d thought. The spellcraft is unlike anything heā€™s ever seen.Ā 
Dipper rubs his hands together, starting to smile.Ā 
Even if he doesnā€™t find the guy heā€™s after, figuring this out could be a heck of a win.
Several attempts later, heā€™s beginning to get why this bastard brick got tossed in with all the other junk.Ā 
Nothing here is working. It simply deflects. Standard spells poing off of it like rubber, while giving his magical senses an odd, back-of-the brain afterimage of a circle with a slash through it; a firm ā€˜nahā€™.Ā 
Dipper nearly chucks the thing across the room in frustration, before shutting his eyes and taking several, calming breaths.Ā 
Okay, weird thing, weird enchantment. The ordinary stuff wonā€™t work. The magical logic isā€¦ twisted in a way that leaves it incompatible with most everything. Heā€™ll have to find a different approach.Ā 
ā€œWhat are you?ā€ Dipper says, low and frustrated. He gives the artifact a shake, as if he can knock the secrets out like a rock from a shoe. ā€œWhat secrets are you hiding in there?ā€Ā 
No response, not that he expected one. With a wry smile, he taps the sleek surface with a finger, twice. ā€œCā€™mon, man. Talk to me.ā€Ā 
Huge yellow letters flash onto the black surface.Ā 
HEY
Dipper throws the artifact, a bit awkwardly since heā€™s lying on his back. It sails in the air in a high thin arc, landing with a thump between his legs. He scoots rapidly backward, sheets pulling up behind him.Ā 
The artifact lies where it landed, an unmoving brick.Ā  Thereā€™s magic in the air now, but no sense of any spell building, ready to unleash power to blow his face off. The latent spellcraft of the artifact has just been activated.
More text displays on the surface, bare except for the glowing letters.Ā 
To the jerk thatā€™s swiped my private stuff: You got some nerve! I expect this back by interdimensional mail in a week, or trust me - there will be consequences.
Dipper waits a full minute before he lets go of the headboard. Tentatively, he kneels near theā€¦
Ā Is this a phone?Ā 
Clearly itā€™s a communication device of some sort, with the freaking text messages. A phone is the obvious equivalent, only - he thought it looked far older than that, something way before mobile phones. Possible ancient. Is that a coincidence, maybe, or is it secretly modern?
Dipper taps the ā€˜screenā€™, just below the glowing words. To his surprise, thereā€™s actually a keyboard, what the hell. This thing keeps getting weirder.
Since it hasnā€™t already thrown a horrible curse at him, or burst into flames - itā€™s reasonably safe to assume that itā€™s simply ā€˜onā€™. Not ā€˜explosiveā€™.Ā 
With hands that are definitely not shaking, he picks it up, and types,
Who is this?Ā 
His own text pops up in blue. A strange contrast to the yellow, but heā€™s guessing itā€™s for convenience - thereā€™s no bubbles to tell whoā€™s said what otherwise.
A few seconds of nervous waiting later, thereā€™s a response.Ā 
Oh hey, you answered! Well, human - Youā€™re talking to the one and only Bill Cipher, Dream Demon, all-powerful master of the Mindscape! Iā€™d say itā€™s nice to meet ya but youā€™re not supposed to have a direct line to me!
Dipper raises an eyebrow.Ā 
Now thatā€™s one hell of an introduction. It might even have been interesting, if it didnā€™t smell of complete bullshit.Ā 
Complicated spellwork, sure. Incomprehensible architecture? Maybe. Dipper can admit it; heā€™s never seen anything with a web of spells on it this complex, in such small of a package.
But the idea that Dipper just stumbled onto a demonic artifact of all things. One that wasnā€™t instantly detected, recorded, then ritually destroyed isā€¦
Someoneā€™s fucking with him.Ā 
Dipper rolls his eyes as he types back,
Really? Demon? You canā€™t expect me to believe that.Ā 
What, you calling me a liar? ā€˜Cause I am, but not about this! I got better things to mislead mortals about. This is my property, not something for your grubby mortal mitts.
Dipper snorts. Guess this personā€™s sticking with the bit. Obviously whoever created this would want it back - but too bad. Whether theyā€™re delusional, stupid, or just a flat-out liar, theyā€™re really good at enchanting. Itā€™d be a waste not to study their work.Ā 
He lies back on the bed as he replies.
Sure, have fun roleplaying, or whatever, it doesnā€™t make a difference. Finders keepers, losers weepers.
ARE YOU CALLING ME A LOSER. MORTAL.
Hmm, Iā€™m detecting a certain amount of ā€˜crying about itā€™, so. Yeah. Suck it, loser.
Smirking, Dipper settles back - then his half-smile drops, as he holds the ā€˜phoneā€™ a little further away from himself.Ā 
Though the blue fire building up in the screen looks like a bad sticker effect, the artifactā€™s also getting a alarmingly warm. It vibrates in his hands - then suddenly stops, cooling down.Ā 
Ha! Alright, alright, I admit - you got some balls.
Maybe youā€™ll change your tune once you REALLY know what youā€™re dealing with! Might wanna check the connection, if youā€™re even capable of it! Mortal magic doesnā€™t reach across dimensions!
With a grimace, Dipper taps his fingers on the phone. Itā€™s slightly cooler now, but still worryingly reactive toā€¦ whatever happened on the other end.Ā 
Damn. Whoever this is, theyā€™re not only really really good at enchanting, theyā€™re also pretty confident that tracking them down wonā€™t spoil their game. The confidence exuding from this ā€˜Billā€™sā€™ words feels genuine.
Honestly, though, the suggestion is a good one. Dipper should have tried to trace the call the second he knew someone else was on the line.Ā 
Maybe ā€˜Billā€™ thinks he wonā€™t manage to find him. Jokeā€™s on him, though; Dipperā€™s amazing at finding stuff. Heā€™s the best tracker of magical anything in years. Maybe decades. With a solid, stable connection right in front of him? Hell, he could do this one in his sleep.Ā 
Time to call the bluff.
He casts the tracing spell, though it takes longer than usual. A few gestures and muttered ritual arenā€™t gonna cut it; he has to improvise around the strange construction of the enchantment. Even trailing along the magic seems harder than usual, like it resists mixing with his own, and it takes him a few attempts to match the signal.Ā 
Once he finds the right way to tune itā€¦ the lead snaps along the already-existing connection, and zips away to find its source.
The line extends out from the shabby hotel room, a plucked string in Dipperā€™s senses. It twists around the phone, rising slowly. Invisibly passing through the walls and the -Ā 
Ceiling? Dipper looks up on instinct, even though nothing is visible.
From there it swirls around in the air like a silly straw on steroids, and then - out, very far, in a way that isnā€™t up or down or left or right, just Ā 
Away.
Dipper has to cut off the tracing spell before vertigo has him reeling. The swirling sense of standing on top of a skyscraper is followed by a flip in his stomach. That heā€™s using a device he barely understands that reaches out into something even more incomprehensible.
He drops the phone-artifact, trying to clear his head by shaking it rapidly.Ā 
Thatā€™s not nearby. Not on this planet. Possibly, genuinely, not even in this dimension.Ā 
Shit. Bill wasnā€™t bluffing.
Dipper wipes sweating palms on the sheets. To pick up the phone again takes an effort, willing himself to grasp it in unsteady hands.
A demon.Ā 
All the monsters heā€™s fought, curses heā€™s broken, years of work tucked into his belt, and heā€™s never seen one of those.Ā 
Demons are dangerous, evil, and very, very powerful. Consorting with them is by all accounts a terrible idea. He should never have picked this up. He should hang up, and throw the damn artifact out the window, hoping that nobody else makes as dumb a mistake as he just did.Ā 
On the screen, thereā€™s a long long scroll of yellow letters, filling the entire surface. ā€˜HA HA HA HAā€™ over and over and over again.Ā 
Before he can think better of it, Dipper starts a response. Heā€™s halfway through a sentence - what the fuck, thatā€™s not funny- before he pauses.
Terrible evil monster. Stupid powerful. Probably Bill sensed the tracing of the connection, like he did with Dipperā€™s other testing. Bill wanted the result startle him. Because he thinks itā€™s funny.
Dipper grits his teeth, and glares at the screen.Ā 
Actually, screw this guy. Dipperā€™s keeping the stupid phone. If for no other reason than spite. This ā€˜Billā€™ guy seems pretty full of himself, like heā€™s totally above some human. Heā€™s in for a bad time, then, because Dipperā€™s not going to let one little surprise scare him off.
Besides.Ā  The average guy would get into horrible, even deadly trouble, whereas Dipperā€¦ sort of knows what heā€™s doing.Ā  No, he is good at his job. Finding secrets, solving mysteries, thwarting evil jerks who think theyā€™re oh-so-hilarious, the whole shebang. He does it all.
Taking another breath, hissing through clenched teeth - Dipper lets it out. Losing his temper isnā€™t going to help deal with an extradimensional being. He has to be careful.
He thinks for a long moment before he responds.Ā 
Okay. Letā€™s say I believe you. Maybe. Then you should know I didnā€™t steal yourā€¦ whatever this is. I found it lying around, and I just. Got kind of curious.Ā 
HA HA HA! Of course you were! Careful with that impulse, kid, it kills more than just cats!
A jerk who definitely thinks heā€™s hilarious. Dipper rolls his eyes, then, rather pettily, decides to ignore that statement.Ā 
More pressing questions take the lead. Like what the fuck heā€™s holding right now, and if there are any other nasty tricks in store. A little bit of him, bubbling under the surface, wonders what being a demon is like. What they get up to, common habits. Ways they could be tracked down and, yā€™know, defeated, maybe.Ā 
Theoretically, heā€™s got a line to a bunch of innocent, totally not-thwarting-related information that could be super useful to someone trying to, maybe, be a super cool monster-fighter.
Dipper backspaces a bunch over some poorly thought out questions. First things first. Like what the hell heā€™s holding right now.
So. What is this?
Good question! The gadget youā€™re poking at with your sweaty meat-paws is paired to the one I have here at my place. A little one-on-one communication assistant, if you will. Once you started groping around with your magic, it wasnā€™t hard to tell someone had picked it up!
Dipper raises an eyebrow. Though he already has an ideaā€¦ a little confirmation never hurts.Ā 
Like, you got a notification? Or literally felt?
The latter! Kinda like smell, but by touching things with your eyeballs. And with all your prodding around you might as well have been stinking up the place! Your spells arenā€™t real subtle!
Hey, theyā€™re subtle! Having weird extra senses is just cheating.
Sucks to be human, then! In that you suck at everything! Whatā€™s a LOSER like you gonna do about it?
Dipper nearly throws the stupid artifact again - but he holds back, gripping it tight. Instead he sits up, leaning down and hauling his backpack up from the side of the bed.Ā 
Maybe Bill thinks he canā€™t do anything. That heā€™s some ignorant nobody, who doesnā€™t have any real skills or talent or doesnā€™t have any friends - but heā€™s got that wrong. Dipperā€™s not a loser. Billā€™s not getting away with that bullshit.
One quick unzip and a bit of rifling around later, he finds what he was looking for. Carefully, Dipper bounces the heft of a flashlight battery in his hand. Shutting his eyes, he focuses on crafting a quick working.
Magic is all about energy, and its direction. Focusing power, conveying it from one place to another. Pushing anything across dimensions would take impossible amounts of energy, stuff Dipper doesnā€™t have. If it werenā€™t for a very convenient connection, already in his hand.
Dipper has nothing on hand to actually exorcise the guy - heā€™s not sure thatā€™s even possible when Billā€™s where he should be - but retribution is in order.
More text lines appear on the artifact. He ignores them. Changing this up to work with the demon device is a challenge, but after figuring out how to alter the tracking spell changing this one up isnā€™t hard. He adjusts the flow of magic this way, into the tangle of not-veins in the device that way, finishes the chant-
Then touches his tongue to the battery.
The jolt passes through him painlessly, following the spell. It zips along his nerves, down into his hand and from there - into the artifact itself.Ā 
Where it should, theoretically end up right at that bastard.
Dipper tosses the battery back into his backpack. Picking up the ā€˜phoneā€™, hunching over to stare at the screen.Ā 
That worked. He felt the energy moveā€¦ unless he got the math wrong. Or a detail of his spell. Or maybe demons are immune to electricity, and he just did something totally pointless.Ā 
God. It might even prove Bill right, and wouldnā€™t that be the worst -Ā 
The next line of text comes in.Ā 
What the hell? A joy buzzer? Thatā€™s some real petty prank stuff! You seriously pulled that bullshit? And across dimensions?
A tense pause. Dipper taps the phone, checking for it heating up again - but another line pops up after a few seconds.
Yā€™know what, kid? I think I might actually like you! Youā€™re FEISTY.
Dipper nearly does a double-take.Ā 
But no, that - what? Arenā€™t demons supposed to be vengeful? He was half-sure heā€™d have to chuck the phone out the window before it exploded in his hands.Ā 
In fact, youā€™re in luck! ā€˜Cause Iā€™m pretty bored, and I can totally show you how to improve that jinx of yours! If you can keep up with a little theory, that is.
Because thatā€™s not suspicious or anything. Conversation with a demon can only lead to ruin and disaster. He should absolutely, definitely stop this right in its tracks.
Still, Dipper shrugs, and types,Ā 
Try me.

Elrond with dramborleg
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
"His hair was dark as the shadows of twilight, and upon it was set a circlet of silver; his eyes were grey as a clear evening, and in them was a light like the light of stars."
This drawing was for @armenelols and @polutrope post about elrond using a family heirloom "dramborleg".
Oh boy I had so much fun.
My main thought while painting this was " what would be different about elrond?"
And the answer is alot but a the same time nothing.
Elrond is in a way a sad character he kind of lost everything and the only constance in his life is the heralded past of his ancestors/family and friends.
He almost can't remember his parents but he can read about them even maglor is ,despite being a kindslayer, described as strong imposing and a mighty warrior.
His own brother,who chooses mortality,is a revered king!
This elrond that I depicted here is not the lord of Riverdale. Not married yet.
This is a elrond who will stand between evil and his folk.
Just like his ancestors did.
He is holding a legacy of strong unrelenting men who did change the tides of war who done the impossible no one else did before them!.
This is also elrond who found out that his brothers legacy Numenor is at the bottom of the sea - because of sauron.
This is a elrond who becomes a lord for many different kind of elves because he is a different kind of elve.

Neynari's parents and Se'txelu/Rolukx's parents, respectively. I've sketched concepts for these characters before, but it's been two years and they were sorely in need of updates. So here's updated concepts!
