Here are some the canon information we now know after the Book of Bill and the strange website Soos FINALLY FIXED:
Saclene and Euclid are Bill’s parents.
Stanford’s middle name is Filbrick.
After spending only one day in Gravity Falls, Dipper and Mabel debated escaping through the window and calling the FBL on Stan. Mabel shook an 8-Ball, and they decided to stay. Stan overheard everything, and he considers it one of his lowest moments in life.
There is a high possibility that Dipper and Mabel’s parents got a divorce while they were in Gravity Falls, and that is why they wanted to send them away in the first place.
Bill feels remorse for destroying his dimension and wears his father’s hat, or a similar one.
Dipper’s legal name is Mason.
Back at home, Dipper once overheard his parents argue, and it gave him a nightmare.
Bill tried to make a deal with Pacifica before Blendin.
Eda Clawthrone was only one of Stan’s ex-wives.
Stan once considered to blame every crime he ever committed on Soos, and it is his darkest thought.
Bill cannot get over the fact that Stan was the one who threw in the final punch and saved Gravity Falls. He never will.
Soos hopes to have children with Melody, very soon.
Gideon still has feelings for Mabel.
Dipper and Mabel only survive in one timeline out of infinite. (The wildest one)
Mabel once tried to send her mother a videotape of her sticking gummy worms up her nose.
Stan wears a male girdle.
Dipper and Mable were born in 1999, which would make them 25 years old today.

and now it's time to play WOULD GRAVITY FALLS CHARACTERS RESPECT YOUR PRONOUNS (pre-weirdmageddon) (non gravity falls fans take this as a sign.)
DIPPER PINES - not sure he'd understand the concept immediately, but would catch on quick because he understands what it's like not being called something you want to be called
MABEL PINES - YES. no question about it. there's so many things i could say here. she'd correct herself for THINKING the wrong pronouns.
STANLEY PINES - understands and correctly genders you for all the wrong, crime-related reasons! bro is the king of preferred names. you say "hey i'm actually exam/ple" and he'll be like "AH. I GET IT. WINK. DO YOU ALSO WANT TO BE NOTIFIED WHEN THE COPS ARE IN TOWN" like i cant overstate this. if you say hey i want to change my identity he will pull out a stack of fake IDs and have you pick one. he's a little confused but he got the spirit!
STANFORD PINES - if you ever need a guy to not grasp a modern-day concept, call this guy! he'd do his best, but only because he wants to be nice. he does Not understand. give him a little bit of systematic exposure and he'll get it! he will take a scientific approach! but he'll get it! somebody get this man 2024ccs of woke liberalism stat
SOOS RAMIREZ - calls you dude and bro. does not call you anything but dude and bro. he knows what you are and he respects that! but let's be real honest here.
WENDY CORDUROY - incredibly supportive and super chill. if you were still in the closet, she'd do the mouth zip motion thing. you get it. she's so awesome about you
WADDLES - oink?
GIDEON GLEEFUL - yes to your face! no behind closed doors. he'd probably call you "that queer" while villain monologuing in his room . i can hear it in his voice
BUD GLEEFUL - THE gravity falls homophobic youth pastor let's be for real he'd say "it's not too late to turn to God" as a christian trans person i'm pretty sure God thinks about lgbtq+ kids and fraudulent capitalists on two separate ends of a very long line
SHERIFF BLUBS & DEPUTY DURLAND - do i even have to say it. i'm gonna say it. solid top and DEAD SERIOUS bottom. they ARE the loud and proud gravity falls lgbtq+ community. if they're transphobic i'll eat my socks.
CANDY CHIU - i know what you guys are thinking . "oh candy's so sweet of course she'd respect your pronouns!" CANDY MOTHERFUCKING CHIU WILL NOT ONLY RESPECT YOUR PRONOUNS, BUT SHE WILL GO OUT OF HER WAY TO USE THEM AT ANY POSSIBLE MOMENT. if she sees somewhere to say your pronouns, she will DO it. because she LOVES YOU. and also she'd fight anyone who gets it wrong!
GRENDA GRENDINATOR - trans. she loves you. will help candy fight anybody who gets your pronouns wrong.
FIDDLEFORD MCGUCKET - honestly this is a hard one. he could ACKNOWLEDGE! your pronouns! but other than that i'm not sure. pre-memory wipe, i think he'd feel a little weird about it, but it would become nothing to him eventually
PACIFICA NORTHWEST - "ew. what the fuck." and then suddenly she's asking you how you figured that out. For No Reason
ROBBIE VALENTINO - calls you a faggot. is it because he is homophobic? because he is one? because he hates you specifically? the world will never know
BLENDIN BLANDIN - he lives in the year 207̃012. i find it hard to believe they haven't made respecting pronouns mandatory yet.
AGENTS POWERS & TRIGGER - are the pronouns on your legal documents????? it's not funny stop laughign
TYLER CUTEBIKER - gay. his pronouns are get/it. he will respect you (in his own ways)
LAZY SUSAN - forgets you had the wrong pronouns in the first place. she respects you by default
TIME BABY - does not refer to you
BILL CIPHER - he would call you your preferred pronouns but DON'T get it twisted. he does not respect you as a living thing. it isn't bigoted (that would be ironic considering that whole sixer thing) he just doesn't. maybe he'd make HEAVY fun of you for good measure but he's got to dig at somebody somehow. also were pronouns even real in his dimension anything could happen man ????
SHMEBULOCK - shmebulock
(did i forget anybody? let me know)

curious about Bill's relationships with the twins in gbc
Bill is the twins' very reluctant, pissy, shithead older brother. At first, his ass is NOT conversing with them, because he's butthurt and jealous that he has to share his parents now that he knows they're alive, and he certainly doesn't consider them family (more like bothersome strays his parents picked up), but he's also smart enough to not hurt/torment them.
Eventually, though, Dipper and Mabel start to claw back his walls and nestle their way into his heart-equivalent organ, like the preteen parasites they are.
Individual twin stuff below!
Dipper: 🌲❔⭐
He likes picking on Dipper more, because the kid is easy to rile up, what with his anxiety and embarassing crush on Wendy. Bill looks at Dipper and sees a smaller, sweatier Sixer, complete with his own (and in Bill's opinion, better) abnormality.
However, where Ford was selfish and willing to give Bill everything and anything for answers, soaking up praise like a sponge, Dipper is far less susceptible to Bill's bullshit, and will actually give him sass. Bill gave Stan a nightmare once early on, and Dipper got so mad that he pulled out Bill's full, legal name and cursed him out in Euclydiean. He's seen Scalene's drawings of Bill as a baby in his comically large shoes, and thus is not at all afraid of him.
Bill, a creature that lives in the NIGHTMARE REALM, is wholly unused to this. It's weird and different, but it's not... Bad. As they get closer, Bill finds that Dipper is more than just the awkward potential puppet that he initially thought he was. He's got a good moral compass, yes, but it wavers now and then, and Pinetree is more than willing to do mean, vindictive things with Bill if someone crosses his family.
While Mabel got her Unicorn adventure with Bill as her first big bonding moment, Dipper's comes when he gets knocked unconscious during his encounter with Gideon's robot. Bill appears to Dipper and offers to wake him up and help him save Mabel, if Dipper is willing to let him possess his body. Now, Bill knows he's desperate, and could have easily added the condition that he gets to keep Dipper's body, or simply just not held up his end of the deal, but he doesn't. When Dipper awakes, he's bruised and sore, and his knuckles are covered in drying blood, but he is himself, and Mabel is safe, grinning at him as she grapples them down to the ground.
After that, Bill starts to casually hang around a lot more, usually by possessing Gompers or one of Mabel's stuffed animals. When Dipper starts to dress up again, Bill makes him a set of star earrings. Now, they are made out of teeth, but it's dragon teeth this time!
Mabel: 🌠💓💥
Bill bonds with Mabel much faster, because it's easier for him to relate to her! Mabel is flashy, chaotic, and unapologetic, and Bill loves that! Usually, humans are very predictable and have boring Dreamscapes, but not Mabel. She changes gears faster than a Mantis shrimp punches, and her antics are way more amusing than anything Ford did.
He 100% enables her crazy plans. She wants to set off fireworks for Waddle and Gompers' wedding? Stan keeps the good stuff under his bed. She's making Dipper a special jug of Mabel Juice? Here kid, have some Smile Dip Ultra! (See you in the astral plane, Pinetree!) Cops are trying to send you to Washington for uncovering a government secret? RUN THEM OVER WITH A CAR!
...okay she doesn't listen on that last one, but you get the idea.
His absolute favorite moment with her was watching her punch Celestabellebethabelle's snout until it looked like a gnome threw up on it. He, at that time, was busy suffocating a Satyr with his plushie Unicorn form, but he was sure to give her plenty of praise.
He was surprised at the warm, fuzzy feeling that bloomed when she grinned at him, rainbow blood splattered on her cheek. Hmm. Had he eaten something recently and not chewed it enough? Maybe he was getting sick or something equally stupid. Surely he was not experiencing... Emotions. Ew.
Mabel bedazzles his bowtie for him. She is the only being aside from his parents who have touched his accessories and lived.

The most unpleasant breakfast.
I feel like this picture is a perfect summary of the fic so far.
Chapter 5 of The Pines Capture Human Bill Cipher But Can't Tell Anybody Because They Don't Know Whether Killing Him Will Restart Weirdmageddon (title TBD). Masterpost here. Updated 8/7/2024 for TBOB compatibility!
####
The group asking for a seat at the truck stop diner was an odd sight: three adult men; two children; and then one disheveled barefoot lunatic in a cartoon pony toga, handcuffs, a chain restricting one arm, and the dirt-smeared remains of a butterfly marker mask. But truckers and odd sights were the only things you saw at 3 a.m. in a Roadkill County truck stop that was old enough to still have functioning pay phones, and the handcuffed guest wasn't blinking SOS in Morse code, so the weary party was escorted to the round corner booth without question. They sandwiched Bill between Soos and Stan and silently awaited their menus.
"Hey, I'm Dani, I'll be taking care of you tonight." A waitress passed out menus to the group, hesitated uncertainly with a couple of paper kids' menus in front of Dipper and Mabel, and handed them over when Mabel made grabby hands for the accompanying four-pack of crayons. "Can I start you off with some coffee, or...?" Dani's gaze fell on Bill and her face lit up. "Oh, hey! Toga Lady! Hi!"
Bill gave her a puzzled smile and raised brows. "Hello?"
"Oh, yeah dude!" Soos laughed. "Wendy got a picture of you the last time you came by. You're totally a local meme now."
"Okay, I've gotta know." The waitress gestured at Bill's ensemble with her pen. "What's your story?"
"Well—" Bill opened his mouth, and froze; and the whole table went still as they simultaneously had the same realization.
If anybody revealed Bill's identity, in Gravity Falls, the epicenter of Weirdmageddon, they'd have a mob on their hands. At worst the town would rip Bill to shreds, and at best they'd throw him in a cell so they could schedule his shredding for a pleasant Saturday afternoon when more people could watch.
Bill couldn't risk the possibility that he'd die for good, and the humans couldn't risk the possibility that he'd be re-released as a triangle.
None of them could reveal anything.
And all of them knew it.
"Party," Bill said. Warming to the cover story, he went on: "This is my party uniform. A little anachronistic, but what can I say? There's nothing I like better than being the center of attention at a wild party!" He cast a sideways glance toward the Stan twins. "Until the fun police break it up."
Ford grumbled, "Partying wasn't the problem. You were going to burn down the town."
"You get so worked up over a little bonfire, sheesh." Bill rolled his eyes, leaned toward the waitress, and said, "These geek types, I tell you. Some people wouldn't recognize a good time if it appeared to them in a divine vision."
"Maybe if I ever had a divine vision..."
Bill shot Ford a dirty look. They quickly broke off their mutual glare, conscious of Dani curiously watching, and Bill breezily explained, "He had a bad trip and still blames me for it."
Dani laughed. "You're crazy! What's your real name, Toga Lady?"
Bill hesitated. "Guess!"
"What?"
"Guess! It's a game. You guess mine, I'll guess yours."
She looked down at her name tag. "I already told you my name's Dani."
"But did you tell me it's Danielle Miranda?"
Her eyebrows shot up.
Bill beamed. "I'll give you three guesses! While you're thinking about that, could we get a round of coffee, and... do you serve anything more toxic than mildly spoiled apple juice? No? Just coffee."
"And a chocolate shake," Mabel threw in.
Bill's eyes lit up. "Make that two."
Stan snapped, "I am not paying for you to get a chocolate shake." Bill sighed.
Once the waitress was gone, Bill said, "Trauma still disrupts humans' long-term memories, right? Have the locals forgotten my name yet?"
"Yeah, no, everyone remembers," Soos said. "I know two different Williams that got their names legally changed."
Bill groaned. "Great. Terrific! Fine. I don't even care. My last pseudonym was getting stale anyway, it's about time I find a new one. Do I look like a Silas?"
The others stared at him. Stan said, "What?"
"A Silas, do I look like my name could be Silas."
"Sure, that sounds stupid enough for you."
Bill shot Stan a dirty look. "Fine, you try. I've spent the last couple of days getting killed, tortured, drugged, beaten, and starved—"
"Whoa, wait," Soos said, "you've been what?"
—so all I'm coming up with is 'Not-Bill' and 'the letter A.' Somebody else think of something."
Stan let out a loud sigh. "Who cares? Bob."
"No."
"Will."
"No, and you sound stupid."
"Hey—!"
Ignoring Stan's irritation, Bill looked around the table. "Anyone else?"
The others at the table considered the question. Soos said, "Ferdinand. I think Ferdinand is way cool."
"Coming out of you, that's not the high recommendation you think it is, Questiony."
Soos winced. "Ouch."
"C'mon, give me something that sounds a little bit like me."
Dipper said, "Troy Angle?" Mabel laughed.
Bill didn't. "Troy again."
Ford ventured, "Xanthe?"
"Ha. Sure, just call me 'yellow hair,' why not. I like the direction you're thinking—"
Stan—whose barely-suppressed rage at this whole situation had been steadily building back up since Bill called him stupid—snapped, "Why are we looking for a name he'll like? Why does he get any say in this! I say we call him whatever he can pronounce through a mouthful of broken teeth! Because when I'm through with this sonovab—"
Bill blocked his view of Stan's threatening fist by holding up his menu. "But Stanley's got a point, I need a simple name. How many Americans know how to spell Ξανθή?"
"Get this stupid thing out of my—"
Mabel, who'd been mulling over the whole "yellow hair" idea, stood and slammed her hands on the table, interrupting the brewing argument. "GOLDILOCKS!"
Bill erupted into a peal of laughter that made the rest of the table flinch. His handcuffs clattered as he smacked his hands on the table and he leaned toward Mabel. "Yes yes YES! Perfect! Ha!" It was like a light switch had flipped on in Bill, re-energizing him, and suddenly he was brighter than he'd been since before his capture. "Funniest coincidence, I—well, forget it, you wouldn't get it." Eyes crinkling in genuine amusement, Bill said, "But I like you, kid. You're the one with the fun ideas!"
Mabel blinked in surprise, any pleasure at the unexpected compliment dampened by the knowledge that being liked by Bill was never a good thing. "Oh. Yep," she said flatly. "Fun's my thing."
Miffed, Dipper said, "Hey, I made a pun."
"I don't like puns."
Ford said, "If you'd please stop trying to win over my grand-niece with flattery..." but fell silent as Dani came back with drinks.
She passed coffee around, set a chocolate shake down for Mabel, set a second one down for Bill—"On the house"—and winked. "Is it Rumpelstiltskin?"
Bill cracked up again. "No, but give me three hours and a particle accelerator and I could teach you to spin straw into gold!"
"Worth a shot! Okay, is everyone ready to order?"
There was an awkward pause. Soos finally said, "Oh man, we all got to talking and completely forgot to look at the menu. Can you give us like five minutes?"
"Sure. Just wave when you're ready."
The group steeled themselves to the task of picking a meal, which felt far too mundane for such a bizarre night. Dipper frowned at the paper kids' menu he'd been handed. "Hey, Soos. Can I look at your menu when you're done...?"
Wordlessly, Bill stole Dipper's menu and crayon box and slid over his adult menu.
"...Thanks."
Bill had already dumped out the crayons and started drawing triangles on the menu. "Don't mention it!"
By the time Dani returned, Bill had covered a quarter of the menu in tiny doodles of his own triangular face, reluctantly scratched them out after Soos pointed out he could get arrested for those, and covered half the rest in countless eyes. Soos ordered a burger, Stan ordered bacon and eggs, Ford ordered an omelet, Dipper ordered an omelet too not because Ford did but because it sounded good and maybe he wanted to try one okay that's all, Mabel ordered rainbow sprinkle chocolate pancakes, and Bill ordered a banana octopus pancake and a side of bacon "as floppy as you can make it" over Stan's objections to letting Bill get a side item.
"And raw bacon. Got it." Dani closed her notebook, gave Bill a considering look, and said, "Is it Blondie?"
"Ha! No! But you've been a good sport so I'll give you a hint! It's something in between your first two guesses."
"Huh..." Dani considered that a moment; then noticed Bill trying to pick up his shake with handcuffs on. "Do you... need help with those? I think the attached gas station's got bolt cutters."
Firmly, Ford said, "We've got bolt cutters at home." Bill gave Dani an apologetic shrug.
As soon as Dani was gone again, Ford leaned forward. "All right, Bill. If you're going to be in our house for who-knows-how-long, we need to establish some ground rules."
"Boy, do we ever," Bill said, with the confidence of somebody who assumed he'd have an equal say in deciding what the rules were.
Ford went on without acknowledging Bill. "For now, we can lock you back in the cellar—"
"Cellar's right under the gift shop," Stan pointed out. "I was thinking a storage closet. Just stuff him in there and pile a bunch of furniture in front of the door."
"You know, Stanley, I think that would be safer," Ford said, like he was trying to pretend he liked the idea based on safety rather than based on how satisfying it would be to make Bill as uncomfortable as possible. "Although I'm sure Bill knows he'll just be putting himself in danger if he makes enough noise to catch anyone's attention—so there's rule number one, no sounds. And once I've done some repairs, we can move him to the bunker..."
"No, I don't think so," Bill said. "I don't like that at all."
Coolly, Ford said, "Well, Bill, you're our prisoner, so we can do what we want, you don't get a say in it, and you don't have to like it. In fact, the more you dislike it, the more I think I do like it."
Stan laughed, elbowing Ford. "Took the words right out of my mouth."
Bill said, "But that's just the thing—I do get a say in it! I'm as worried as anyone else about what might happen if this body is killed. But there are fates worse than death. Like boredom, for instance! You know what I'm talking about, right?" He gave Mabel an appealing look.
She doggedly avoided making eye contact, slurping her shake.
Bill shrugged and returned his attention to Ford. "You know and I know you'll only keep me alive until you think of a way to kill me that I can't come back from—and that gives me an advantage. It means I've got nothing to lose. If I'm not living a life that's at least barely tolerable, then your only way to stop me from choosing death on my terms instead of your terms is by sticking me in an artificial coma." His smile stretched wider. "And are you really, really sure I don't know a way to kill myself in my sleep?"
Ford and Stan's scowls deepened the longer Bill spoke. Stan muttered to Ford, "It's not too late to take our chances killing him the old-fashioned way."
Ford shook his head. "What do you consider intolerable conditions."
"Being locked in a little cell with nowhere to stretch my legs, no entertainment, and no company. Abandon me in your bunker? I'll bash my skull in."
Bill declared this with such vehemence that it momentarily gave Ford pause; but he asked, "And if we lock you in the cellar?"
"Then I scream for help until someone calls the cops, and we all get to learn what they find more convincing: 'You've gotta believe me, this lady is secretly Bill Cipher in disguise,' or 'Help me, officer, these lunatics think I'm some kind of demon pyramid!'" Bill rolled his eyes. "I'm not asking for much. Just a little entertainment. Only enough to make this place more appealing than dying! A few rooms I can move freely in, the occasional conversation, a window or two I can look out of..."
"In other words," Ford said, "if we don't want you to do anything drastic, we need to give you a slight chance to escape."
"See, this is why you're the smart one!" Bill graced Ford with a brilliant smile. "And in return, you've bought yourselves time to look for a guaranteed way to finish me off. It'll be like a game: can you figure out how to get rid of me before I find a way out?"
"I stopped playing games with you a long time ago, Cipher."
Bill leaned across the table toward Ford, ignoring that he was at risk of shoving his elbow into Stan's chest and that the kids had started leaning over the table too as if they were prepared to lunge at Bill. "We never stopped playing. You just stopped having fun."
Their negotiations were interrupted by Dani's return. She distributed their meals, then said, "Okay, I've got two guesses. They're dumb, though."
"I'll allow it!"
"Rapunzel or Goldilocks."
"Hey, guess number four! Smart girl! Give her a nice tip, Stanley."
Stan grumbled, "Stop trying to spend my money."
Dani laughed. "You're joking!"
"No, really! Goldilocks!"
"No, no way. You're totally lying."
Studying her face to gauge how much of her skepticism was sincere, Bill amended himself, "Okay, okay, you're right—first name Goldie, last name Locke. Funny though, right?"
"I didn't think I'd get it. Goldilocks the Toga Lady. Ha! You guys enjoy your meals."
Once she was out of hearing range, Bill muttered, "Tabitha, I should have gone with Tabitha. That's a way more believable human name than Goldilocks. I could pull off a Tabitha."
Ford cleared his throat to catch Bill's attention. "All right, Bill, here's your situation. You're trapped within a small geographical radius and surrounded by enemies. You have no money, no identification, and no connections. The last time we saw you, you were pleading for rescue through a book—"
"'Pleading' is so pejorative! I was offering mutually beneficial deals, but you were too busy taping judgmental selfies in my book to—"
"—SO, wherever you came here from, you clearly can't go back there. And if you still have any powers at all, they're obviously dampened or we'd be dead by now. Your options are limited even if you do escape—so before you try, think how much less latitude we'll give you once we catch you."
"Sounds like somebody's about to agree to my terms."
Ford glanced at Stan, to see if he wanted to voice any objections; then Soos, as the current owner of the shack; then the kids, with a silent apology for what this would mean for their summer; and when no one protested, Ford said, "You'll stay in the main shack. You can go anywhere that isn't closed behind a door—that means the kitchen, the living room, the R&D room, and the attic. You don't get to enter any room behind a door without supervision. You don't get access to tools, poisons, or anything you could potentially use as a weapon. No phone, no computer, no borrowing anybody's cellular phones. I suppose there's no harm in letting you use the TV." He glanced around at the family. "Does that all sound agreeable?"
Nobody was thrilled with it, but nobody protested.
Bill said, "Question."
"What."
"How will disputes over what to watch on TV be resolved."
"Everybody in the house gets priority over you."
"You're being petty. We can't even vote on TV selections?"
"Fine, let's vote. Who's in favor of being petty and never letting Bill choose what to watch?"
Everyone but Bill raised a hand.
Bill laughed. "Okay, I walked into that! But I want books."
"Fine. You can have books."
"And writing materials."
"Under supervision only."
"Sheesh, paranoid. Okay. And a radio."
Ford considered that.
"Come on, you don't think I could get into trouble with a radio."
"You can use the record player."
"Nobody uses records anymore. I want a CD player."
"Fine. You can borrow a CD player."
"Fine." Satisfied, Bill picked up the maple syrup bottle and poured way too much on his pancakes.
Mabel cast a quick, envious glance at Bill's banana octopus. It had chocolate chip eyes and was way cuter than she'd expected.
Bill caught her glance, gave her sugary pile of sprinkles and chocolate an equally covetous look, and said, "Want to go half and half?"
She shoved her plate over. "Like you wouldn't believe!"
Dipper hissed, "Mabel," and Mabel flinched, guiltily glancing toward Ford to see if the Head Bill Cipher Expert had any objections to the pancake swap. Ford grimaced, but said nothing. Mabel had already agreed, Ford couldn't think of anything Bill could have done to an untampered-with plate of pancakes, and if Ford objected on principle he'd just end up making himself look like the bad guy—which he had a sneaking suspicion Bill would immediately pounce on.
Meanwhile, Bill certainly hadn't waited to see if Ford approved. He mercilessly sawed his mushy cephalopod in half, the swap was made before anyone could protest Mabel sharing her bounty of sugar with the worst person in the universe, and Bill gleefully added more maple syrup to his new source of sweet sensory overload. He scooped up a forkful of pancakes, stuck it in his eye, then jerked his head back at the pain and stared in confusion. He tried the other eye before he remembered his mouth.
Mabel played with the banana peel tentacles on her half-octopus. At Dipper's grimace, she said, "It's fine, he'll be fine! Octopuses grow back if you cut them in half."
Soos had worked through his burger like popcorn at a movie while he watched Ford and Bill's hostage negotiations. Now that the important decisions had been made and Soos was down to fries, he said, "So, how do we keep Bill out of all the other rooms? Am I gonna have to put locks on every door tomorrow? Because if we just say 'don't go there,' Bill will be like, 'okay,' and then do it anyway, you know?"
"Yeah, Stanford, how are you gonna keep me out of your rooms?" Bill was twirling a piece of bacon around his fork like spaghetti. "I hear I'm pretty sneaky." He stuck the fork in his eye again, flinched, and gave it a disappointed look.
"Well—" Ford glanced around to ensure no one was nearby, leaned closer to Bill, and lowered his voice. "I've actually got a clever idea about that."
Instantly intrigued, Bill leaned in closer. "Oh, do you?"
Like he was inviting Bill in to hear a secret, Ford reached past Stan to put a hand on Bill's shoulder—and said, "Amnesia Limina—"
"You—!" Bill tried to jerk out of Ford's grip, but was blocked by a wall of Soos. Soos caught on and grabbed Bill's wrists before he could shove Ford's hand away.
"—Stupidi Digiti—"
"I hate you."
"—Occultus Locus."
A bright red light flashed between Ford's fingers. Bill's eye twitched. He jerked out of Soos's grip and shrugged off Ford's hand. "When did you learn how to play dirty?"
Dipper had watched with such fascination that he hadn't even noticed a chunk of omelet fall off his fork into his lap. "Whoa, what was that?"
"A curse," Ford said. "Cast it on a door, and no one who interacts with it will know how to open it. Cast it on a person, however—and they'll forget how to open any door or window. We don't have to worry about locking Bill in if he doesn't know how to use a doorknob, do we?"
Bill asked, "What's a doorknob?"
Stan cracked up. Ford grinned at Dipper and gestured at Bill. See?
"Seriously, what's a doorknob? I know every word in the English language, I'd know if 'doorknob' was a word. Is it a wart? A kind of fungus?" Bill sighed irritably. "Where did you come up with that! I thought you forgot that curse years ago."
"I haven't forgotten anything you taught me," Ford said, clearly offended at the suggestion.
"No? Then why'd you waste all that time installing a retinal scanner on your lab door?" As it dawned on Bill that he no longer understood what retinal scanners had to do with the function of doors, he muttered to himself, "Why did he install a retinal scanner."
"I'm not a fool, I knew if I'd cursed the door you would have removed the curse as soon as you possessed me."
Bill laughed. "You idiot! Don't you know the curse can't be lifted by anyone but the person who placed it?"
"It. Can't?" Ford sat there, experiencing the unfamiliar sensation of being the student called on in class who'd read the wrong pages instead of the assignment, even though in his heart he was sure Bill must not have taught him that part of the spell. "What if that person dies?"
"Responsibility for the curse passes to the next of kin! Lucky for you, or this fork would already be in your throat—although I haven't completely ruled that out. Maybe one of your family will be more reasonable about the situation than you."
The rest of the table loudly assured Bill that they would not be more reasonable. Ford gestured toward them. "I don't think so. None of us are foolish enough to fall for your tricks anymore. You aren't going anywhere until we say so."
Bill ignored the rest of the table, gaze fixed on Ford. "Don't be so sure, Stanford Pines. You aren't the first cocky mortal to hold me and you won't be the last! I'll get out of here, and when I do—oh-ho-ho, I'll make you regret every single timeyou ever thought of crossing me."
Ford raised a brow. "I 'won't be the last'?" Stan laughed again, elbowing Ford. Bill cringed, face heating up.
The kids grinned. "Wow, Bill," Dipper said. "Pretty big of you to admit what a loser you are."
Bill rounded furiously on Dipper. "I'll show you a loser—" He lunged across the table toward him.
"Hey!"
"Get over here, you—"
"Everything good so far?" Dani asked.
The table froze. Bill had a fist curled in Dipper's vest, Soos had an arm around Bill's chest, Stan had his hands around Bill's throat, Ford was pointing a knife at Bill's face, and Mabel was prepared to bite Bill's wrist.
Bill slowly let go of Dipper. He gave Dani a thumbs up. "Everything tastes fantastic!"
"Great!" Dani moved on.
The guys slowly let go of Bill and sat back. Mabel gently bit Bill's arm to ensure he knew she meant business.
He didn't even acknowledge her. He'd fixed his glower on Ford again; and when Ford met his look, Bill pursed his lips and spat a thick, milkshaky wad of phlegm onto Ford's omelet.
Stan rounded on Bill so fast he kneed the table. "You little—!"
Ford put a hand on Stan's shoulder to stop him from making a scene. Calmly, he cut around the chunk of soiled omelet, scooped it up, and dropped it in Bill's milkshake.
A crooked smile broke through Bill's scowl. "You know—" he hooked a finger around his milkshake glass and tugged it closer, "this is the most fun I've had in a very long time." He squeezed one eye shut and made direct, defiant eye contact with Ford as he drank the shake.
Mabel and Dipper exchanged a look and cringed in disgust.
####
When they left, in lieu of the extra tip Bill had wanted Stan to give the waitress, he turned over his paper menu and drew a map to an eighty-year-old buried cache of stolen jewelry just a fifteen minute walk from the diner.
He'd finished his milkshake, egg and all.
####
(if you enjoyed, I'd love a comment! Thanks!)

But the fact we know Dot will eventually call Rooster 'Dad' makes my heart swell
Terms of Endearment Masterlist
AAAHHHH my heart just burst inside my chest thinking about this. I feel like it would just slip out the first time, and Bradley would be caught so off guard that he kinda just freezes? But not because he doesn't want to be known as dad, but because you’ve just never spoken about it before or mentioned if you were comfortable with it or if Dot should even be calling Bradley her dad because well, he wasn't biologically.
“You're her father in all the ways that matter though Bradley, so if she's comfortable enough with you to call you dad then I'm okay with it too.” You barely blink after Bradley brings it up. Dot had called him dad at the kindergarten pick-up. She’d come racing out with a drawing she had done just for him, Like she’d done in daycare a million times before. Although this time she’d come racing up to him, jumped into his arms, and squealed two words Rooster knew he’d never forget and would never stop hearing in his dreams.
“Hi Dad!!”
“Okay, well good chat babe.” Bradleys just pressing his lips together and nodding softly, hoping that it wasn't just a one time thing. It's not. Dot calls Bradley dad whenever she isn't calling him Rooster, which had replaced Tooster a few months ago because her speech therapy had actually been working much to Bradleys shock horror. He missed Tooster.
But as Odette gets older, her attitude evolves and when she's fifteen? The spitting image of her mother and a pain in the ass, Dot is calling her uncle Jake to come pick her up from a house party she’d snuck out to attend. Only the cops had shown up and she high tailed it out of there so fast she ended up down at the beach crying. Jake doesnt come and get her, he rings Bradley who's jumping out of bed so fast he doesn't even put shorts on, boxers will just have to do.
“You’re not even my real dad!” She's yelling, a sobbing mess in the passenger seat of Bradleys Bronco, he’d just finished giving her the third degree but told her if she’s gonna do this type of stuff she has to tell him because he just wants her to be safe. “Where do you get off telling me what to do?” And Bradley hates himself for it because he knows it's not good for the Bronco but he's pulling over on the side of the road and slamming on his brakes so hard it sends both him and Odette forward for a moment before their backs hit the seats again.
“Listen here kid–” Bradleys gritting his teeth, clenching his jaw and pointing his index finger at the fifteen year old whos sitting next to him with alcohol running though her system and he fucking knows she high as a kite just by the red in her eyes. “I may not be your biological dad? But I'm here aren't I?” Rooster points out the elephant in the room. “Ive changed my fair fucking share of shitty dippers and I held your hand while I taught you how to rollerskate and ride a bike and I mashed your stupid bananas just so you could throw them in my face anyway.” Dot was dumbfounded, Bradley had never raised his voice at her like this but someone had to smack some sense into this kid before it was too late. “I pay half your school tuition and I make sure you don’t starve to death whenever your mothers working late and need I remind you I’m your legal goddamn guardian, your last name is Bradshaw! So no–I’m not your ‘real dad’ but I don’t need you giving me shit when I’m here and always have been here and always will be here and that deadbeat dickhead isnt and never fucking was.”
It’s silent for a moment while Odette just takes in what the fuck just happened—usually Bradley was pretty passive, never one to raise his voice. But she’d clearly upset him. He’s putting the Bronco into gear again, shifting the gear stick in frustration as he pulls back onto the main road cautiously—his attention now back on the road as he whips the steering wheel around with one hand.
“Your mother would be beside herself if something happened to you kid, so just do me a favour here? and tell me where you’re going, no questions asked.” Again, Roosters met with silence as the fifteen year old just tries to process everything Bradley had just said when her head is spinning and she can’t tell if her fingers were real or not.
“Do you reckon he knew I was defective?” Dots letting her head rest back against the seat as she tries to hide her tears while looking out the window. “That’s why he didn’t want me?” Odette Bradshaw was too young to remember what you’d been through to keep her safe, let alone know why her biological dad wasn’t in the picture.
“You aren’t defective Dot—“ Roosters sighing, he’s still fucking pissed but he can sympathise. “He just isn’t a good person, it was never you.” If there was a conversation Bradley Bradshaw knew not to start without your permission it was the topic of Dots biological father. “But I love you? Isn’t that enough?”
“Please—“ Odette scoffing, picking at her cuticles till they started to bleed a little. Huh, guess they are real after all. “You love mum and you love Riley and you love Nick—“ She’s pausing, her bottom lip quivering as she turned to look at Rooster. “But I was just the package deal.”
“You have no idea how much I love you kid—“ Bradley’s chuckling to himself as he flicks the indicator on. “You’re my daughter, end of story.”
“Yeah but like, you don’t have a choice?” Bradley could tell by the way Dot was slurring her words that she was gonna be sick by the time they pulled into the drive.
“No I don’t have a choice with Riley and Nick—“ Rooster explained. “Because I created them, I have to love them regardless, but you? I choose to love you and I choose to put up with your recklessness and I choose to get up in the middle of the night to come get your drunk ass because I love you and I choose to love you.”
“Really?”
“If you throw up in the car I may have to re-evaluate but yeah kid, you’re stuck with the ‘not real’ dad for life.” By the time Rooster is pulling into the drive your standing at the front door in your dressing gown, arms crossed—glasses on, looking all kinds of angry.
“Oh fuck she looks pissed—“ Dots groaning all the while Rooster is laughing.
“Hey you wanna be a rebel you gotta own up to the consequences of your own actions.”
“Please don’t tell her I’m high—“
“I’m not gonna tell her shit are you kidding me?” Rooster raises his eyebrows in utter disbelief. “Im not suicidal, you’re gonna tell her yourself.”
“Dad!” Dots pleading, begging Rooster to help her out. He thinks it’s hilarious, laughing as he watches you march down the three patio stairs.
“Oh so now it’s dad when you want a bodyguard huh?”

7 years later... - Billdip Oneshot
Pairing: Bill Cipher x Dipper Pines
Warnings: Usage of guns, mention of drugs and mention/someone being called a prostitute - MATURE, If you don't like these topics please don't read!
Hiya! This is a continuation (in a way) of the idea that I had and the last oneshot that I made regarding that idea. It has both Bill and Dipper now adults and in the Mafia business.
If this isn't something people really enjoy, then I probably won't continue it, but this is where the majority of the story would take place (after this oneshot) if this were to become a fully-fledged story on AO3!
Enjoy!
It was another typical day with a lot to do for the blonde, and he was just getting started. He had quite a few ‘scheduled’ appointments today due to him wanting to check every single person under his new leadership now he’d taken control of his old boss's company, which had also meant going through each finance and seeing exactly who was in the ‘family’.
Although Bill himself had known quite a few people, especially the others that visited often, he never knew just how many people were connected to his boss, and after getting a light shock, he decided to see each and every person to see if one of them would be perfect as a personal bodyguard for himself.
His boss had bodyguards that he’d had before, and were given down to him… But Bill wanted one to himself that he trusted, due to the fact he’d managed to get past those same bodyguards and murdered his boss just over two weeks ago. Now, he had someone specifically that had interested him deeply.
Once he’d seen the name he knew that he wanted to meet him again. It had been about seven years since their last meeting, and the man he was waiting for this morning didn’t live in Gravity Falls, he was a part of the extended family that was specifically in California and had a blood relative living in Gravity Falls.
Whatever his legal name used to be, it wasn’t in the books, but that didn’t matter to Bill. He knew that this man was careful with any of his personal information from the moment he came into the business at the young age of twelve. Bill had been there when he had first met his old boss, and through the years the brunette and his boss had kept communication.
Bill had noticed that the male had been given finances from the male he was waiting for this morning and got them on a bi-weekly basis. It wasn’t listed exactly what those sales were or where the money was appearing from, but knowing that the brunette had a business that actively gave Bill money almost inspired him to speak to him.
That had been that. Bill had told his assistant to go and call the brunette (using the right equipment of course) and tell the male to come for today, at 10 AM. Must've been a bit of a shock to the brunette that he had been given a call at all because no one had been told that Bill had come to power officially. He had known it was trickled down the spine of the family, some coming up to him to actively support or congratulate him, or even kill him. Although, Bill was unsure whether this news had gotten to the brunette.
As ‘The Triangle’ was wondering about this exact topic, a voice took him out of his train of thought. “He has arrived Boss, do you want me to bring him through?” Py asked with an edge to her voice. Bill turned his seat around to look at his bodyguard and nodded. “Bring him through,” He replied and stood up, awaiting the brunette.
Bill lit up a cigarette and put it in his mouth, taking in the smoke to his lungs as he awaited the brunette. It didn’t take long for him to appear, and the moment Bill saw the light hit his face, he was certainly glad he’d called.
Dipper, or rather as many called him, Double Dipper, was a short, brown-haired individual. His hair was put in a fairly specific manner, it was obvious to Bill that he’d used wax for this particular occasion to keep his hair in place, and had the clearest skin that Bill had ever seen for a face. No scars in sight, and everything was intact. He had a chiselled look and the only thing slightly obscured out of view was his forehead, where Bill was aware of the birthmark being hidden behind the bushy hair.
He wore a suit, although it was noticeable to Bill that he didn’t like it, his shoulders were almost hidden from view which almost made him think that the brunette wasn't confident enough to meet him. It was the puffed chest that gave the confidence that the brunette needed to keep Bill interested though as the male looked him up and down.
“Pinetree,” Bill breathed. If it were any other situation, any other business, Bill was sure he’d run up to the brunette and hug him. This wasn’t a soft business, and that sort of attitude wasn’t welcome in these parts. Dipper nodded a little, keeping a calm and collected look covered across him. Bill got the faint smell of pines coming off Dipper.
“Mr Cipher, or would you prefer I call you ‘The Triangle?” Dipper asked, trying his best to stay formal, and not have anyone pointing guns at him. That wasn’t the purpose of this visit. He thought he’d been called in by the boss, not the man who had teased him every moment he’d been in Gravity Falls working under the boss.
Bill inhaled his cigarette again before taking it out of his mouth and blowing the smoke into the room. “Bill or Triangle is fine, you’re a friend, and I don’t want to be too formal with you,” Bill told him, eyeing the brunette up as he spoke. The more Bill spoke the more Dipper realised that the only person he was going to be talking to from now on was Bill.
“I’ve been going through our finances recently, and I noticed that your name and contact details were written down with a significant amount of money being given to me… I was wondering, where is it coming from?” Bill asked curiously. In all honesty, Bill didn’t care, he wasn’t that interested in figuring out what the brunette did that gave him the money, usually, all people cared about was that the money was given.
Bill had other motivations for asking this question though, it allowed Bill to understand the brunette more, and more importantly, he could keep him here for longer. “Narcotics mainly, but guns are also something that I tend to sell,” Dipper summarised, he wasn’t going to splurge his operation easily, and neither was Bill expecting him to give it. This information was probably the best Bill could be able to get out of the brunette without any fuss.
Bill hummed as he put out his cigarette in the dish next to him. “I was thinking Pinetree… Maybe you could come on another day for us to discuss things further,” Bill grinned and took a step forward to Dipper. His respective bodyguards inched closer, but neither of the men really noticed. Bill was feasting his eyes on the confusion that was evident across the brunette’s face.
“Not to be out of line, but why would we need another meeting if all we needed to speak about was finances?” Dipper asked, putting a hand on his hip. Bill clicked his tongue watching the movement and took a step back and sat down. “Pinetree you interest me so much… I’ve decided to offer you a position you might not be able to refuse… You just need to prove yourself,” Bill responded, giving him a ‘bored’ look, mainly for the show.
It gave the impression that the blonde had given this offer to other people, and as Bill wanted, it encouraged the brunette to get competitive. Of course, Dipper was the first one and probably the only one that Bill was actually offering for the job, but the more that the brunette was ready to put up a fight, the better his results would be. If he wasn’t easily breakable under the pressure of course, but he would be practically useless if that were to happen.
“My assistant will contact you on the day to come here when we’re ready for you, but for now, prepare,” Bill continued, watching as the cogs working in the brunette’s mind. He nodded a little. “Thank you for your time and offer,” He simply responded and Py took lead in leading them out of the room. Bill grinned, watching them both leave. This was going to be fun.
As Pyronica was leading Dipper out of the building, out of the twists and turns of the building, they had to cross a room he had originally gone through to get here without Pyronica, but this time it had become a little crowded. He played it cool going through until he looked up and heard something…
“...you see that guy? Seeing The Triangle? He’s too cute to be in this business or a killer for that matter…” He heard from across the room. Dipper looked over to the man who had been talking, who wasn’t facing him. Probably one of his biggest mistakes. “...probably just a prostitute,” He heard the man continue, and that’s what cost him.
In a flurry, Dipper put his hand on his Pistol, took the safety off and took it out of its holster. The brunette pointed the gun at the man’s leg, close to where it’d really hurt, and shot. The man wasn’t expecting it, no one was. A loud sound went through the room that silenced everyone, apart from the one who was shot. It was perfect and had gone right through the side of his leg, and almost out the other side.
He screamed and fell off the bar stool he had been sitting on whilst everyone else stood still, looking at Dipper. After a few seconds of watching the man’s pain, he put the safety back on, and slowly put his gun back in its holster. Once Pyronica had seen he was done, she grinned to herself and continued to show the brunette the way out, knowing that their boss would be happy to know.
He hadn’t shot to kill, but he’d shot to suffer. Something that she thought Bill would appreciate.

Now what kind of man would a kid who was raised mostly by a father who says shit like “With no cops around, anything is legal” and “Yes, burn the child!” going to turn out like, I wonder?
A man with a mostly blasé attitude towards the law? Treating kids like adults?? Short of giving them things they’re not supposed to have, that is.
He’s like the voice of reason, just a bit skewed to the left.
Pays more attention to what the kids are doing and immediately notices when Dipper is hiding something.
“You know your ears turn red when you lie? Your dad is the same way, can’t lie to save his life.”
Quicker to discover the third journal
“Found the third journal.” He announced, dropping the aforementioned book onto the desk in front of his father.
He watched as his dad carefully picked up the book, eyeing the bold number 3 as if he wasn’t quite sure what he was looking at
“Where?”
“If you could believe it, Dipper had it. Said he found it in the woods a bit ways from the shack.”
Stan snorted, exasperated as he sorted through the pages, “Right under our noses, unbelievable,” he turned to look at him, wagging the book with a raised brow, “I doubt the kid gave this to you willingly, you pinched it off him or what?”
“Oh, of course not! I just slipped him something.”
The older man’s face pinched into a scowl, “Of all the - Benjamin Stanford Pines, what the fu-“
“Slow your roll, old man -“ Ben quickly interrupted, raising placating hands, “- I just snuck some melatonin into his and Mabel’s drink. Kid needs the sleep anyway.”
“You worry me sometimes, kid, and I’ve been to prison.”
I do know that I just spent the morning playing with the idea of Ben being Gideon’s worst nightmare. Bro is making threats of child protection just to get the little monster off his family’s back
“After all, there has to be a reason for a nine year old to have such anger and need for control. One carefully worded call from CPS can take care of that”
“Try breaking into this house again and I’ll call the cops on your ass for breaking and entering.”
For the sake of keeping the plot of Gideon Rises. Any advice to move the safe to a safer location go ignored, after all, what can a snot nose brat do?
Canon says: A lot
Click for more information
Ben was born in the backseat of Stan’s car
Stan and Carla kept every single one of Ben’s first keepsakes [1st school project, 1st arts n craft and participation award, the works] once they got a roof over their head. Overcompensating for the first few rough years of life with no stability
Nothing like giving Stan feelings of inadequacy than being unable to provide for his family
Took Ben months until he felt secure enough to unpack his backpack.
He has Carla’s dark curly hair and eyes, the shape of her nose and her smile. Sometimes it hurts Stan to look at him and see the reminders
Lives in Seattle
He and dad Pines [I shall call the parents James and Darcy Pines] are on regular speaking terms
Maybe he was the one who helped convince his cousin to send the twins over Gravity Falls for the summer
He used to chase the gnomes off the property with a BB gun
He always greets Soos with a noogie. Older brother privilege, of course.
Privately makes fun of Robbie for being threatened by a twelve year old……and quietly threatens him if he ever thinks of fighting Dipper again
Let’s Mabel paint his nails
Stan calls Mabel “Sweetie” and “Pumpkin”, Ben calls her “Mi lady” fake posh accent and all
He calls Dipper “Chief”
It’s because of him that Stan is a more responsible guardian to the twins
Wendy had a crush on him…..Dipper gets a little weird about it
Ben has a calico cat named Honey, he jokes about her being Stan’s only grandchild. Stan thinks she’s the most spoiled cat in the world
Ben has absolutely no interest in dating
He’s the town darling…..joking, he was the town troll. Stan Pines son through and through
Brought a shotgun to the Weirdmageddon and made himself a menace
Ben Pines, traditional monster hunter vs Ford Pine’s more scientific/magical approach?? That’s a thought
I refuse to believe Stan wasn’t going out there to look for the kids
Thinking up little scenarios for my dad!Stan au that I’m never going to write but it’s fun to think about.
I decided to give him a son named Ben. Ben is the cool uncle that comes over to the shack every random Saturday to make sure everything is in working order.
Is he Stan’s voice of reason, does he slap his old man upside the head when he’s being particularly stupid with the kids? [No Stan, we do not sell out our niece’s hand in marriage to some chump]
I’m trying not to shove him in every situation where it requires someone to be the voice of reason
I don’t know what his job is but now the guy has blood on his hands - did he kill agent Trigger in NWHS? I don’t know, I do know Soos joked about him coming off as very Freddy Kruger in the situation
Does he do wet work?
Omg, is he a hit man???
Point is that he will get his hands dirty in the name of his dad’s mission.
OR, he isn’t there for the whole mishap and shows up the next morning to have a very tense first meeting with his uncle Ford [Ford doesn’t remember Stan’s son, but then again, he barely spared a glance at the slip of a child before dragging Stanley off to talk in private]
I know killing off Stan’s wife is a thing in this au, a little thing that happens long before the series, give some more to the stangst, let his son be a shining beacon in his life [Before Soos comes in to further curb his loneliness that is]
Carla, Carla McCorkle is his wife. The relationship I imagine for them is a very different matter.
Is it something he and Ford talk about in the quiet of the night in the rare moments that they can stand to be in the same room? Maybe
Ford wandering around, looking at what Stan did to his house, seeing all these family pictures and wondering. He figured that the son left at some point as a grown child does, but where’s the wife? Divorced or???
But then I was thinking about Weirdmaggedon and I thought ‘You know, it’s shocking no one actually died in that mess…….we should change that’
So I killed his son too
Now here is a Stan gaining back his memories wondering where his son is. And now I have an old man crying in anguish in my head.
Tears, tears from everyone

I’ve been working on AnaSpaceia since I was a sophomore in college, but never made it beyond the first three chapters. I worked on it again for NaNoWriMo2022 and ended up writing 62,806 words. It’s if Broadway’s Anastasia met Star Wars Episode I, and is for anyone who loved Gleb and felt he deserved his happy ending too. It’s a standalone polyamorous YA SciFi novel.
Alt text below:
Alt Text: Six images teasing at Anaspaceia WIP.
Image 1) Anaspaceia title page. White text on blue stary background with an arm of a galaxy across it. Two crescent moons are above and below the text, facing inward.
Image 2) The same blue starry background. A lighter grey blue square is centered, with four crescent moons facing outward from the corners. Text: FUN THINGS. 1. An Anastasia Retelling Set in Space; 2. One-Sided Enemies to Lovers; 3. Secret Coup; 4. Identity Shenanigans; 5. Runaway Fake Princess; 6. Real Princess as Amnesiac Smuggler; 7. Villain with Daddy Issues in Love With His Targets; 8. Stabby the Roomba (but his name is Vlad the Impaler); 9. Road Trip Across the Stars; 10. Multi POV Between the Three Mains; 11. Endgame Polyamory
Image 3) Previous background repeated. Text: MISTY. Misty is an 18 year old princess. Except she's not actually royalty - she's the orphan girl taken off the streets, surgically altered to look like the missing princess, and raised in the palace by the people who killed the King and Queen ten years earlier. But she's running out of time; she knows the Silent Revolution won't keep her around forever, not when she can ruin everything they've built with one careless word. She's their biggest loose end, and between a planet full of people or one girl, she'll never hold the winning hand. But she knows how to run, how to survive, and exactly where she needs to go. All she needs now is a ship. And a pilot.
Image 4) Previous background repeated. Text: ANWEN. Anwen is a inter-planetary smuggler, and as far as she knows, around 18 years old. After a skull fracture ten years earlier left her with no memory as to who she was, she picked up a new name, age, and friend in the form of Vlad the Impaler, a cleaning bot with a knife taped to him. She left the orphanage that cared for her with nothing but her ship and her bot, making a name for herself as a ruthless and dependable transport for less than legal goods. Now she's back home for the first time in a decade, just in time for the princess to go missing, making things a lot more complicated. She doesn't like home at the best of times, and right now, all she wants is to get away. Fast.
Image 5) Previous background repeated. Text: RION. Rion is the 20 year old son of the High General, the man who successfully carried out a coup with a whole planet none the wiser. He's also the reason the Princess Andresha escaped ten years earlier. The reason Misty was brought in to replace her. Despite that, he'd thought them friends, confidants. Maybe even more, one day, if his dreams came true. But then Misty runs, leaving him behind to pick up the pieces without even a warning. Once again faced with his father's fury, Rion is tasked to quietly track Misty down and return her to the palace before it's too late and she ruins everything, no matter the cost. Even if it means he dies. Even if it means Misty does.
Image 6: Previous background repeated. On top is a moodboard of nine images, all squares. The color theme is gold/orange and blue. Top to Bottom, Left to right: a silhouette of two people with their foreheads touching, the background is soft orange/gold lighting from three and a half visible bulbs hanging on a string, overlayed with an orange outline of the big dipper constellation; a thick gold necklace; an orange and blue tinted view of the milky way galaxy from earth, overlayed with an orange outline of a crescent moon inside radiating sun beams; a girl in a gold ball gown sitting on a blue and gold couch, her hand on her forehead; a close up of a man’s shoulder in an old-fashioned military uniform, the fabric is black and the embroidery and embellishments is gold, overlayed with a gold outline of two hands reaching for each other but not touching, surrounded by stars; midnight blue and gold silky, reflective fabric; a blue and orange galaxy overlayed with an orange outline of the moon; a gold altar in a church with blue walls; two people sitting in front of a fireplace with a fire lit inside, facing each other, overlayed with an orange outline of the Capricornus constellation

This is a little thing I wrote just for kicks because my brain wouldn’t shut up about it, feat. trans!Dipper Pines and Wendy being friends, and my explanation for why he might go by Dipper, of all names possible to choose. Gravity Falls fic, gen, rated G
"So, dude," Wendy says, sitting up as the credits for The Time Destroyer from the End of Time: The End Times Have Come! roll and tucking her feet underneath her. "I've been wondering."
"Yeah?" Dipper asks, picking through the bowl of Snax Mix for the weird seasoned bread things and setting them aside to give to Soos later, like they always do for movie nights, whether it be at the Mystery Shack or Wendy’s house.
"And it's like, totally okay to stop me if this gets too weird, man, but, like," she trails off until Dipper undrapes himself from the end of the bed and looks at her, "why Dipper?"
"Huh?"
"Like, you're trans, right?"
"...Yeah?" He's not... entirely sure where this conversation is going, but he does trust Wendy.
"And I know your parents are super supportive and all, and Mabel would kill anyone who called you the wrong name, and don't get me wrong I don't want to invalidate you at all, but Dipper's--"
"Kind of a stupid name, I know," Dipper says, and sits up himself until he's leaning back against one of the bedposts.
"You could've gone by anything," Wendy says, "why didn't you choose, like, Tyrone or something? Didn't you say you liked that name?"
Dipper tips his head to the side, thinking. "When I was little -- like, little-little, like five -- I didn't know I was a guy, and my parents used to call me the 'Little Dipper' 'cause of the--"
"'Cause of the birthmark, yeah."
"Yeah. And I didn't know how to get them to call me anything else, so I insisted on being called Dipper instead because I could, you know, pretend I was a boy, and Mabel was... Mabel about it so much that it--"
"Stuck?"
"Yep," and Dipper pops a bit of pretzel into his mouth. "Like glue, or that weird sticky sap they've got next to the dinosaur caves? You know the stuff?" Wendy nods. "When I actually transitioned I didn't want to make a fuss, and I was fine with the name, so I just...” he waves a bit of pretzel around vaguely, “kept it. Aaaaaand now it looks like it's gonna be Dipper for life."
"You're gonna legally change your name to Dipper?"
"No," Dipper says, quick and emphatic. "It's, uh, legally it's Mason."
"Mason?" and Wendy sounds like she's holding back a laugh.
"I was thirteen, and obsessed with secret societies!"
"Yeah, man, I remember. I lived through that."
"Eugh, don't remind me." He shudders. "Mabel liked it because it fit with her name, and I thought it was just so cool that I could name myself after the Freemasons, and so onto the paperwork it went. I think my parents were just glad I didn’t go with any of Mabel’s other suggestions."
"Mason," Wendy says. "Mason and Mabel. Mabel and Mason. Mason Pines. Hey Mason, what's up."
"Don't do that."
Wendy laughs, leaning back against the other post. "Not gonna lie, man, it's weird to call you that."
"No, it's just Dipper." Sigh. "Dipper Pines."
"Yeah, it's weird to think of you as literally anything else. Like, no offense, but you just don't seem like a Tyrone."
"None taken."
"Huh. Thanks for telling me, dude."
"Yeah, sure thing!" Dipper says, and then the credits end and the announcer announces that next up is Help! My Mummy's a Werewolf 12: Beat that Dead Horse Harder! and he flops back down on the bed for another session of ridiculing Gravity Falls Public Access Television.

What career choice do you see Pacifica taking when she's older? I could see her being a lawyer, real estate or even Mable clothing business partner with the company selling all kinds of sweaters.
oooh boy you made a mistake asking me that cause i'm gonna have so much to say JJDFJFDSKL
don't fret, this WILL include doodles, I'm a doodle sideblog it's my thing ✨
also dipper is gonna be included in little bits of this thing here and there cause dipcifica blog, par for the course 👍
sorry in advance, love!💖
ok SO
when thinking about careers for the kids, including mabel, i try to think about what their goals seem to be in canon vs their talents
for pacifica, her goal is clearing up her family name and her talents are... quite a few for her age. she's charismatic, she has an eye for fashion, she's great at golf though i severely doubt she'd be interested in that as a career, and she probably has a decent amount of knowledge on legality and things in that vein considering who her parents are and what they deal in
she could be an actress, a lawyer, a fashion designer, a model... lotta options there JFDDS
for dipper, his goal is... well he doesn't quite have one tbh. neither him nor mabel lol
we know what he likes! he really loves mysteries, he likes singing (as shy as he is about it) and has a decent voice imo, he's pretty charismatic as well when he feels comfortable and confident in himself, and he's a very analytical guy
but none of those things are a goal per say, and they could all branch off into multiple career paths: archaeologist, adventurer, scientist, novelist, detective...
different circumstances could also change his career path very easily because of his not very solid goal - provided he has enough motive, he could absolutely pull a stan and exploit the supernatural for monetary gain, if something happens to his family or pacifica that would require an easy way to make a lot of money
there's a LOT of ways to decide for dipper and they're all centered around what kind of story one would like to tell lmao
anyway, onto pacifica's options!!
careers for her would depend on how she wants to approach clearing up her family name i'd say?
if she were to decide to become a well-accomplished person so that her family name would be cleared because of how great and well-known she was, she could pursue acting tbh?
there's a lot of things she could do but idk i feel like she could be a great actress if she wanted to be
that or a politician, but i don't think she's interested in the mess that would bring lol, that's more within her father's line of interests
the nice thing about her being an actress is her bringing dipper to all the galas and premieres and stuff and him not knowing how exactly to act in that situation (of course, assuming he didn't pick a career that has him deal with large crowds of people daily - he'd already be used to it in that scenario)
hence: doodle
now, if pacifica were to decide that the best way to clear up her family name would be to take all legal matters into her own hands and go about that very literally, she'd absolutely become a lawyer or something in that vein
this could lead to a lot of sleepless nights especially while she's studying to be a lawyer, so - many fluff and flangst options there ;)
aaand that's all I have on Pacifica rn - it's 5 am so my brain's a lil mush
anyway sorry for the rambling, you activated the essayist in me 😔
i'm very talkative despite how it might seem JDFSKLSD w h o o p s
have a great day! ✨💖

There is No Turning Back Anymore, Ch3/15:
A bit of a time skip happens, and we get a first look at an older, 16-ish (not super far off from being 17 really probably) Scarlet (Dipper is also around the same age too).
….................
Alright, here is the first non-prologue chapter!
Once again, a bit of a shorter chapter this time around too, but they will get longer (for the most part), I promise.
^_^
I have also updated the AO3 version of this, so for the most updated version of this fic on there, please go here.
….................
Tossed Away (Like Trash) Chapter Summary:
Scarlet finds something that sends her spiraling.
Actual chapter under the cut as (almost) always.
Scarlet had been living in her new home now for 4 years. The longest she had stayed in one place ever since she was put into foster care. Her and her brother were now 16 years old. Just turned one a month ago.
She should be happy. Should. But she wasn’t. She was far from it. For she had found something in her parents’ rooms she hoped to never find. Files that caused her to silently fume in her room that she had run back to after reading them (and putting them back the best she could, so her parents didn’t know she read them), thinking about them. Files that talked about putting her up for adaptation once again.
She didn’t even think that was possible anymore. This wasn’t just a foster home, but supposedly her and her brother’s permanent home. But, somehow, maybe due to her long, not-so-good history in foster care and even her history before that, they had figured out a way to get her put up for adoption once again. To put her back in the Homes.
How could they do this to her?! Put her back in the Homes, to be carted from 1 to the next, probably until she was finally legal to be by herself, which wasn’t even that far off, just a couple years. And when that did happen they would just kick her to the cubs to fend for herself. Like she was nothing. Like trash.
Seriously though! How could they?! How could they?!? She was already 16! No one would want to adopt her at this age. NO ONE!
Scarlet was just positively seething thinking about this. Seething so much, you would think her fiery red hair was actually made out of fire.
……However that wasn’t the biggest reason why she was upset. No, the biggest reason why she was upset–was that Dipper’s name wasn’t anywhere in the files with hers. Not even his “real name”, which would make more sense to show up in the files than the nickname she came up with after seeing his birthmark on his forehead (though that isn’t actually the real reason she started calling him that).
….................
Hmph. Real name. How funny.
Scarlet thought darkly for a split second, before sinking back into her fuming thoughts once again.
Why would they just want to send her back and not Dipper?
Was she not good enough?
Did they love him more than her?
Did they just hate her?
How could they love someone like Dipper more than her!
HER!!!!???
After thinking very jealous and self-hating thoughts for awhile, she calmed down, & came to realize she was being cruel and unfair to Dipper.
That she was being very selfish.
It wasn’t Dipper’s fault after all, that it looked like they wanted to keep him and not her.
It was her parents–no, it was hers–herparentshers–NO!!! It was HERPARENTS’ FAULT!! Just theirs’! Yes, just them, and no else’s. Certainly not her. Nope.
After that barrage of unwanted thoughts, thank you very much. Scarlet had another realization, and a horrifying one at that.
And that was, if they were to send her away, they would be separated, since it would be just her, and not Dipper too. And she didn’t want that. No, not at all.
She loved and needed him far too much for that.
Dipper was her K-adorable brother after all.
Even if they weren’t related by blood, they had been adopted together, and before they were adopted, in the foster home (though they weren’t together in the foster home very long before they were actually adopted. A month, maybe a bit more, maybe a bit less at most probably. However, in that short amount of time, they had gotten to know each other well. It was like they had known each other forever), and before that even, they had been close as well. Closer than even Dipper knows. No matter what. They were still siblings! They still loved each other. They still needed each other.
….................
And Scarlet Hood, now named Scarlet Zilver, wouldn’t let them be torn apart. Not again. Never again.
She wouldn’t allow that to happen.
No matter what she had to do.
….................
AN:
Alright.
So I decided to post this earlier after all, lol.
So honestly, just keep on excepting a new chapter every week or 2, with it sometimes being earlier or later (though, with how things have been going, earlier seems more likely for me), because even with the whole fic basically done, I still can't seem to stick a schedule, lol.
Anyways. This chapter, is pretty important for some of (not all) of Scarlet's motives and how she acts around certain people for the rest of the fic. So a pretty important chapter despite not being the longest chapter out there.
See you guys next chapter(s)!!!
….................
P.S.: Some of the spacing and formatting might be exactly right and how I want it on Tumblr, because I am using rich text and not html (though, I can get most of my formatting and spacing right with rich text on AO3 though, so don’t know what is up with that), like some lines and paragraphs and etc., should have more than 1 space between them, and some stuff should be underlined not bolded or italicized or both,
(someone said you could use the link thing to underline, and I tried, but it didn’t work. Probably because it wasn’t a real link, because I didn’t want to actually link anything, just underline, but I don’t know how to do that stuff without using html on tumblr/here, and I rather not deal w/ that. I can deal with that stuff more/better on AO3, when I do use html over rich text, because the editor/poster there is bigger, and there are tools and Docs and info to make it easier)
so I have want more of the actual, real, proper formatting, then AO3 is the place to go over here.

Never Got Divorced → Eda and Stan
[6/12/2022]
Added: This is a mess. I hope other posts in this Au will be neater.
Needed to figure out the kinks in timeline and ages. Also law… kind of.
Basically this is the planning stage that I posted.
Okay like with all of my AUs I have no real plan per say.
This AU is just that Eda and Stan never got divorced
There is no romantic or sexual attraction.
Just 2 con artists who got married to steal from each other yet it fell through.
Eda ran before any divorce papers were ever given, okay.
Oh yeah since Eda has popped into the human realm since she was like 14 to 16 she got a legal identity.
Her legal identity is her actual name but she just goes by Marilyn.
Makes life easier if there is not hang ups
[Also I want this crap as legal as I can]
Basically she knows more about the human realm then she makes herself appear. She is smart.
Stan knows he never divorced her btw but they still haven't seen the other in decades.
Stan did indeed sign with his legal name.
Now on to less fun things like Math, timeline, and sort of law.
Ages/Timeline.
Stan was born in the late 40s or early 50s.
Just to make a time frame I will say 1945 to 1955 making him anywhere from 67 to 57
Eda was born anywhere from 1974 to 1978. That is if TOH takes place in 2022
Canon also has her in her mid to late 40s. [like 44 to 46. Maybe 47]
If you cannot tell this timeline does not work if we looked at both canon.
(As in my "Law" section for them to be legally married they would've had to sign their actual names and Stanley Pines would be dead. I want those 2 married and not the hilarious image of Stan getting Eda married to Ford. Which means the canon timeline cannot work. Another knot is the fact she would have to have gray hair when they married which would point to "Stanford '' marrying her. So also ignoring that, she is still a ginger. Good thing this is an Au.)
Since the canon timeline will not work here it is reworked. ■
Eda was born in 1976 making her 46 years old in 2022.
Her "Human" identity which is her legal name on the Boiling Isles with a smudged birth year. That year being 1974 [21. She can legally drink now]
Stan was born 1965 making him 57 in 2022.
Eda and Stan got married in Las Vegas in 1995 with her dipping after stealing the car and earnings.
Ford Pines went into his portal in 1996. So Stanley "died" that same year.
Then everything in canon happened the same except Eda told King more of the truth and didn't wait till Season 2 episode 3. The legal adoption still didn't happen until later though.
Also because I shifted the timeline by a decade that means Mabel and Dipper are only a year (maybe 2) younger than Luz.
OH also since this is an au. Season 3 (as it hasn't come out yet) is non canon.
Law [Sort of. Not a lawyer and I got my info off of Google]
In real life it seems if the married person goes missing and is declared dead [or is just presumed dead] the couple is no longer married.
Also if they got remarried their marriage is valid and not the previous one.
This is in fact boring for this Au as Stanley "died" their marriage would no longer be valid.
So yeah no that law doesn't exist in this universe unless they remarried
Also Eda proved her existence to the American government (Not as a witch) by just showing proof of her being there for a while.
Still she fibbed as she wasn't born in Usa and has no proof of her living there as a baby or child.
Either way she did it.
Basically she legally exists. Neither got remarried so I am pretending they are still legally married.
While I am having trouble finding out if you can adopt without your spouse knowing it looks like a maybe.
I mean Eda mostly live on The Boiling Isles and adopted King there so it wouldn't matter anyways
Basically their marriage exists and the GF timeline changed by a decade.
[Stopping here 6/12/2022]
^ Did that so the next post looks neater than this mess
The next post should be the meeting of Pine Twins and The Group (Hunter, Luz, Gus, Willow, Amity, and Vee)
#au#never got divorced au#aka#Eda and Stan#long post#mess#unnamed au#very messy post#i am not kidding

Can you give us a scenario on how you all meet ?
Mabel: Yeah, it was the beginning of summer. I was quietly sipping a milkshake with Dipper*
*Flashback*
Mabel: *Laughing* And then I said, ‘That’s not the yarn brand I use!’ And then I- *She raises her hand, accidentally hitting Norman in the face as he was walking by with Neil, Coraline, and Wybie*
Norman: Ow!
Mabel: …
Mabel/Dipper/Norman/Neil/Coraline/Wybie: *Laughing*
*Record scratch*
Coraline: Wait a minute, that’s from Bob’s Burgers.
Wybie: And weren’t we outside?
Lili: I’m pretty sure we met on a bus here.
Wybie: Yeah, but we didn’t talk to each other on the bus, right?
Neil: Wait, here’s what happened.
*Flashback*
*The Mystery Kids get off the bus*
Coraline: I guess the six of us are stuck together for the summer. Let’s be friends, solve mysteries, and vent our problems to each other.
Norman: Sounds fun.
Mabel: Got room for two more? My brother and I are campers, too!
Raz: The more venting the better. Me first! My dad hates me and I can’t swim!
Wybie: My parents abandoned me and my legal name is Wyborne.
Mabel: I can’s sleep at night because of a triangle demon that haunts my nightmares.
*End flashback*
Lili: No…
Mabel: Yeah, that’s now how it went.
Coraline: That’s not the Coraline I know.
Raz: … Oh shit, how did we meet?
Wybie: We were all going to camp, and… Uh… Yeah, we were going to camp.
Dipper: Then what? We just started hanging out together?
Norman: I guess… Okay, let’s just leave it at that, I guess.

Since Dipper is the one most likely to get backstory out of Bill, did he ever come across Flatland (as in, the book)?
Dipper's the one most likely to ask the questions that get the terrifying answers that Bill doesn't realize reveal a bit too much; but I think Bill would more freely share dry unemotional biographical details . He's already told Ford he comes from the second dimension, and he mentions Edwin Abbot Abbot when asked in the out-of-canon AMA about his origin—so I think it doesn't take much prying for him to describe where he comes from. (And in an earlier ask about this AU, I cracked a joke about him cheating at cards to coerce the family into watching Flatland for movie night.)
All of which is to say, I'm sure Dipper knows about the book Flatland—Bill's probably name dropped it—but to everyone's surprise except Bill's, it's Mabel who actually sits down and reads it first. By the time Dipper gets a crack at the book, Mabel's made a shapesona.
(This is Mabel's shapesona. Bill calls it the most hideously disfigured man he's ever seen.)
Keeping with the theme I've got going here of "Bill and Mabel are actually scarily alike and the more they notice that the more they get invested in figuring each other out": Bill is Mabel's new terrifying friend who might destroy reality, but is pretty fun when he isn't doing that or hurting her family, and MAYBE he could be talked out of wanting to do that at all! She wants to know where he came from and what made him the way he is. Dipper is driven by academic curiosity and a need to understand his enemy, but Mabel is driven by the 🌈🌟POWER OF FRIENDSHIP🦄💞!!!
So yeah she'll jump on this dry hundred-something-year-old book about MATH just to learn a bit more about Bill.
The first the rest of the household learns she's picked up the book is when she stomps into the kitchen in her pajamas ready to RIOT because the Flatlanders banned colors. "That's like banning fashion! Or HAPPINESS!"
(Bill reassures her that the book's mostly satire and color was legal in his dimension. "And anyway, they're all dead now!")
Dipper picks up the book the second Mabel finishes it. He probably gets a bit more out of the mathematical thought-experiment side of it, but not by a whole lot; Mabel might not be a nerd but she is smart, and most of the math concepts explained in the book are the kind of thing they're about to hit in school in anyway.
Mabel connects more to the story emotionally. Dipper interacts with the 1D King's disbelief of the 2nd dimension with the understanding that it's a metaphor to help a 3D reader grapple with their own disbelief of the 4th dimension, but Mabel interacts with it on the level of "the point king is stupid not to believe in lines, the line king is stupid not to believe in squares, the squares are stupid not to believe in spheres, and the sphere is stupid not to believe in 4D shapes!!" (Bill, deeply amused: "YEAH, YOU TELL 'EM, SWEATERS!")
Of course, Ford's read Flatland too, decades ago. He and Dipper can talk in depth about the mathematical concepts (which Dipper appreciates, because watching Mabel go on with Bill about the social side of the book is making him feel pretty left out). Ford helps explain some of the geometric concepts that are a bit beyond Dipper's 13-year-old education, and talks about his own personal experiences trying to interact with higher and lower dimensions—which are all a lot messier than the book would suggest.
But at night when the adults (and alien) aren't around, Dipper and Mabel have quiet conversations about the politics in the book—the sexism, the classism, the... shape-ism? the anti-intellectualism, the political imprisonments, the medical mutilations, the infanticide, the tyranny... And they wonder how much of it is just a human's fiction to make an interesting sci-fi book, and how much really does describe the world Bill came from.
Stan hasn't read the book and fell asleep during the movie.
