Thank you to this YouTube comment for this

Hi there!!

I want to say that your “Mabel’s muse” Au concept has absolutely called my attention, Bill mentions multiple times (Dipper and Mabel’s guide to mystery and fun and TBOB) how he likes Mabel’s personality and wanted her to be his ally…sooo the idea of an alternative time where he decided to approach her and where she trusts him and considers him as her friend is absolutely full of potential

I just think about how many stuff would change and how bill would be a little more genuine with her as he for once isn’t pretending to be an all-wise being and having to constantly rise the ego of Genius minds…instead he just has to party with a teenager whose idea of fun is quite similar to his…he doesn’t have to be the “supreme being” for once just a silly fella in order to earn Mabel’s trust

Also about how some episodes would have to take a completely different route:

maybe “Mindscapers” wouldn’t even take place…because I doubt that Mabel would trust a Bill if he went inside Stan’s head

Bill possessing her during the “sock opera”episode instead of dipper

Also don’t get me started on “the last Mabelcorn” episode. All the angst and horror that Ford would feel when he finds out about the whole friendship with bill situation reflecting himself on Mabel and probably Dipper being the one who search for the unicorn hair while ford tries to convince her that Bill isn’t trustworthy

I apologize for my rant but I seriously love your idea and sorry if it’s a bit confusing English isn’t my first language

I hope you have a nice day and thank you for reading this silly thing!!

first of all, your english is great!! second of all, i am SO sorry it took me so long to respond to this ask, it just made me so happy that i wanted to take my time to craft a response!!!!!! :DDDD (context: for people who don't know what my 'mabels muse' au is, you can check it out over here!)

you are practically SPOT ON with my ideas for this au!!!!!! but i'm gonna briefly run through all the things you brought up!!

first of all, yes, absolutely!!!! for bill, partner-ing up with mabel was a very nice change of pace. he likes stroking the ego's of genius', just for his own amusement, but he doesnt get the THRILL of just getting to PLAY very often!! he's a very childish being, at the end of the day. he enables mabel's selfishness, while getting to indulge his own, silly passions right alongside her!! and obviously, mabel LOVES being enabled <3 i imagine most of the dreams he gives her would make any normal persons eyes bleed

as for your episode ideas, you're mostly right!!! :) mindscaperers does, in fact, NOT happen in this au. in my head, i imagine gideon trying to summon him, only for an 'I.O.U' to appear where bill should be. he's busy hanging out with his favorite pre-teen!!! so gideon skips straight to his backup plan, aka, gideon rises ^^

for sock opera, i'm still on the fence a little bit. one of the reasons bill is hanging out with her at all in this au is because, unlike in the regular timeline, this bill actively wants stanford to be brought home. the reason mabel is important to him, is because he can see timelines where she presses the button in not what he seems, and keeps him from returning. in his mind, he has the greatest shot of success if mabel doesn't press it. in this au, she doesnt even hesitate to trust stan, because she has another, trustworthy voice in her head, yelling DON'T PRESS THE BUTTON. its 2v1! ANYWAY, the reason any of that matters for sock opera, is because he wouldnt have any need to possess anyone, because he has no interest in smashing the laptop! BUT.....i can see him doing it anyway. i figure, most likely, he gets mabel to (willingly) let him use her body, so that she can work on her sock opera while her body sleeps. i just imagine a bill-possessed mabel up at 3 am, covered in hot glue and googly eyes as he tries to work it out shjdkfhjsdkf. but......honestly, he probably destroys the laptop in the process :) just to fuck with dipper <3 not that dipper ever finds out its her. he has no idea that mabel was ever possessed/has no reason to suspect her, because at this point, he still doesnt think bill is real. that is....until the last mabelcorn.

IN the last mabelcorn, mabel reveals to ford that she does recognize bill, and that he lives in her brain! she says it really excitedly, at the table, while dipper kind of just rolls his eyes about it. to her, its vindicating, because it's the first time anyone has ever acknowledged bills existence. but to ford, its HORRIFYING, because he knows it isn't just a coincidence. he knows he has to do something, but he doesn't know what, right away. this is where our ideas differ a little bit, because i think that mabel still WOULD be the one retrieving the unicorn hair! ford just didnt tell her what the hair was for. ford sends her off, because he wants to brainstorm a way to get him out of her head, preferably without hurting her/her memories. he also plans to bill-proof dippers mind in the process, just in case mabel is too far gone already. the events here happen basically the same (with minor tweaks), but instead of dipper suspecting that ford is evil/bill-possessed, this is where he finally learns that bill is real at all. ford tells him about his backstory, and explains the REAL reason he sent mabel out to get the unicorn hair, etc etc. he loves mabel a lot, but hes not sure how to go about dealing with this situation yet. its not HER fault she trusted bill, but he knew that if he just tries to tell her hes evil, she wont believe him. shes known 'her muse' longer, and as of right now, he's never lead her wrong. just like what happened to him in the past...

i wonder how mabel would feel if she only heard the end of that conversation...

..... And he never recovered

Just noticed this in both seasons of Gravity Falls.

When Dipper screwed up in a major way while with Stan or Ford, the episode ended with them both having a Pitt Cola and him being cheered up and motivated by them.

It happened at the end of Boyz Crazy after Dipper ruined Wendy and Robbie's relationship and angered Wendy...

And again at the end of The Last Mabelcorn when he nearly memory wiped Ford and broke the machine.

IDK about you, but I just love this small little bonding thing he has with them. Nothing like an S&P approved drink and some Grunkle motivation to get you going again!

out of interest has the ford fandom gotten their hands on scrapped storyboard cloak ford yet??? personally? HUGE fan of him. i have so many questions every time i see him. why the cloak? why the lantern? why can't you calm down for a second?

from the last mabelcorn storyboards from artist miguel puga!!

Question!! Would Ep 15 S2 (the uh, Mabelcorn thingy where Mabel fights unicorn to get hair) and Ep 17 S2 (that one ep where Ford offers apprenticeship to Dipper) still happen? I doubt it would since Bill is sort of neutral by now.

I don't know if it would or not, but I would love to see the cipher parents' reaction to its events! (Just ignore/forget that the rift breaks and weirdmageddon happend at the end of ep 17-)

The events of The Last Mabelcorn do happen, but in this au it's how Mabel and Bill really first start to bond! Mabel makes Bill a plush unicorn doll to inhabit and the two of them go searching for unicorns. It ends with them getting unicorn blood and hair to use for their Family Scrapbook once the judgemental hoofbags start making Mabel feel bad. Scalene and Euclid are very happy their kids are getting along.

As for the other episode, it would probably just go like it does in canon, without the tears at the end, because Mabel is also staying in Gravity Falls to apprentice under McGucket!

Ok, I know Ponyhead can be full of herself, but I like the idea of her hearing about Bill, Unicorn hair, and Celeste and empathizing a bit due to her sisters (and the fact this kid LOVES unicorns) giving Mabel some of her own hair claiming it's to step up and show those "Bitchy Loser Unicorns." And because of Star.

Plus, I actually thought Celeste WAS Ponyhead before I saw the show. XD

[supernatural618]

Looking for a niche Last Mabelcorn AU fic where Dipper didn't dodge the memory gun when it bounced around. Anyone know a fic about that?

[its-ya-girl-phoeni]

Love how "Hiya, smart guy!" was how Bill introduced himself to Ford, he's so silly (I say about an interdimensional dream demon who has literally tried to murder two children multiple times)
