On Yggdrasil and that Thing Called Consent perhaps?

(ask meme) (fic)

Oh that’s a tough one! There are so many parts of that fic that came together over time. I wanna say the original scene that I had in my head that I wanted to write was when Dipper wakes up sober and he’s like bluh what happened, and Mabel is being extremely serious and asking him what he remembers. And then when it hits him that he got drugged, he initially blames himself and Mabel’s like NO!!!! it WASN’T your FAULT you got DRUGGED!!!!

In general I wanted to write about the twins supporting each other through their troubles instead of doing the generic Disney channel “being mean to each other” thing. Mabel makes sure Dipper knows it’s not his fault that he got hurt, just like later in the scene he makes sure Mabel knows that she is safe from the abusive situation she was in (that she had been having flashbacks about).

And I wanted to write about them having a positive experience too. Like, the scenes people write about where Mabel interacts with a dipnipped Dipper can be rather cute and fun, but they usually sat wrong with me because of the backdrop that it had happened non-consensually. I wanted to set up the same situation but in a way that didn’t have that backdrop, that was fully born of the twins being autonomous adults who get up to dorky hijinx.

tl;dr this is one of those fics that was a lot more than just one scene in my head when I came up with it!
