Y'all don't understand the true power memes have in destroying a person. I walked into a store playing that fucking September song by Earth, Wind and Fire, dicked around for a few minutes, and then went to pay for my stuff as it started up again. I couldn't help but ask the guy did he realise that a song has played twice and I swear to god I've never seen more suffering on a human face as he told me it started as a joke at the start of his shift and quickly got out of hand. I asked him how long he's been working and he told me a very defeated "7 hours. I've been the only person in the store the last two hours and it's been so busy I haven't been able to get to the stereo to change it". I felt so sad for the guy I offered to change it for him but he said it'd be alright. I've been thinking about that poor guy ever since, did he manage to stop that song or was he haunted for the rest of the day by the reminder that it's September and that someone's heart and is with him???
My favourite thing about watching BNHA is seeing the all-round brilliant art style, with its appealing colours and smooth, expressive animation. And then suddenly shifting to scenes with Todoroki, in which every fucking movement is an ode to Angels, the colours are bolder and every particle of ice looks ten times better than anything Frozen could've done. His expressions can be broken down into frame-by-frame minute changes, with his fire looking like every animators wet dream. It's like someone higher up has a VERY apparent thing for Todoroki, and ensured. all of the animation budget was used to make sure Todoroki looked glorious no matter what. It worked.

So I had a lot of feelings about the bubble changing Mabel, especially after reading this and of course this awesome post here, and then I began to wonder how it would fit in TAU. Also @marypsue helped too!
————
Mabel coming out of that bubble changed and Bill made a big mistake, using her mind to fuel his apocalypse. Mabel who is chaos personified, Mabel and Dipper who thought the reality warping would stop once they were out of the bubble but it…doesn’t look like it? Eek. But then there are more important things going on to worry about; that Mabel’s eyes are still glowing white, flowers that smell of macaroni and cheese follow in her footsteps, that there’s a herd of kittencorns springing into existence just at her mention-that all can wait.
Here the Transcendence happens in the wake of Weirdmageddon, and the tear is repaired and the damage undone but nothing will ever be the same again and there is no hiding magic anymore. Here Bill still gets the shit beat out of him, still he tries to possess Dipper as he dies, still Dipper fights him and wins.
And yet as Mabel watches, Dipper’s chest falls still, stops moving. She runs to him and puts her head on his chest, but there’s no beat, no sound. He’s dead, her twin is dead and no, no no.
Mabel, eyes so bright white looking at them is like looking at the sun and encased in a bubble that swirls with a million colors. Mabel who tears reality apart, ripping into the very fabric of existence, shattering and reforming reality so that Dipper lives.
The demon thing is kind of unexpected, she admits to herself afterwards, but at least Dipper is alive, is still with them, and that’s what counts.
After pulling that stunt Mabel returns to normal, her power spent in keeping Dipper alive, in helping him transcend. Or at least, that’s what it seems.
Because Dipper can’t see any trace of power left on his sister, doesn’t see anything out of the norm in her aura, in her soul, and yet sometimes it rains when she cries and one day snadgers are just, suddenly a Thing. Like, been around for all of human knowledge, in the history and science textbooks, yes of course snakes and badgers can make snadgers just like mules, duh. He has no idea what Mabel can do or how he does it and it terrifies him a bit (if he’s not the smart guy, then who is he?)
Dipper who still possesses Mabel to do Mystery Twin cult-bashing shenanigans but he doesn’t peek into her Mindscape any more, not after the last time left him on the floor staring at the ceiling dazedly and wondering what the fucking fuck he just saw. Dipper who eons from now will have the might to destroy the world (he knows this, feels it in his bones), but he looks at his sister and knows with that same bone deep certainty that if she wanted to, Mabel could destroy it all now without a second thought. Because he is still bound by rules and deals and wards but there is nothing constraining Mabel, nothing that can hold her back other than herself. Dipper and the day he realizes he holds not just Bill’s power within him, but Mabel’s as well and then he goes and stares at the wall for a bit.
(He laughs when people call him the Lord of Chaos. He’s no ruler, only its servant and subject. Mabel, though. Mabel is the Empress of Chaos, the embodiment of madness and sheer possibility.)
Mabel doesn’t tell Henry at first because honestly, it’s almost never a big deal or issue and she isn’t sure how to explain and there’s the whole “my brother is a demon” thing and dating moves to getting married and it never comes up. Then Mabel gets pregnant and suddenly everything is going haywire. All the cartons of ice cream at the supermarket turn to pickle flavor, she cries and it rains frogs and kittens and bowties. And one day Mabel leans up to kiss Henry and burps madness bubbles in his face on complete accident oh my god. Henry gets a bubble full in the face and afterwards coughs up some fur and feathers and just Looks at Mabel. They end up on the couch, Mabel curled up in his lap, and murmuring into his shirt because she’s so scared and she fucked up and she doesn’t know where to start or how to explain and and-
Henry just gives her a gentle hug, and “It’s okay, you told me now, that’s the most important thing.” Then he looks at her stomach and asks “Um, are the babies going to do that burping thing?” and she laughs because everything is okay again.
(She makes him feel like the hero of all his favorite stories, the books where the brave adventurer stumbles into a world stranger and vaster and far more magical than their own. When they kiss sometimes his mind explodes into a riot of color and sound, madness on her lips. She’s disorder and bedlam incarnate and the kindest, sweetest woman he knew and every day he felt so privileged to be loved by one such as her.)
Dipper telling the kids bedtime stories about how Mom saved the world; he just did the cleaning up afterwards. Willow looks at her mother and Mabel in Willow’s eyes are the swirling colors of madness bubbles, a thousand flashing swirling maelstrom of color. It should hurt her eyes, hurt her brain but it doesn’t because, well, it’s Mom (and if Mabel is Chaos, then the triplets are the children of Chaos. There’s a bit of madness in all three of them.) Triplets and the shenanigans they get into because like attracts like, and weird attracts weird.
Willow still almost drowns when she’s fourteen, and Henry still becomes the Woodsman, but the difference here is that when they call Mabel, they don’t get thirty seconds into the call before there’s a feeling of plib and Mabel spilling out on the floor of the living room, the thousands of miles from Australia to Gravity Falls nothing to her will. Dipper can see the tear in reality his sister made mending itself. (He can see what would have happened if it had been him and her that rescued Willow. Sees eyes glow a cleansing, horrifying white and a pink haze rise around her. Sees her raise a hand and clench it into a fist and every soul in the room is obliterated, gone completely from the cycle of reincarnation, completely and utterly dead and gone in a way that no demon, no god, not even him can do. His sister glows and blazes before his eyes and she is utterly terrifying.)
It’s easier, in this timeline, for Henry to accept the Woodsman. How can he not, when he looks at his wife and there’s something beyond human comprehension hiding in her skin, sometimes he holds her at night and the world goes mad around him and he loses all sense of time and place and self. But she’s more than that, she’s love and sweetness and distractability and maybe there’s something a little (a lot) Wyrd about her but that’s not all of who she is, just like the Woodsman is not all of who he is. And maybe he’s not quite human any more, but neither is she, and together they make a perfect pair.
Just.
Literal Goddess of Chaos and Destruction Mabel Pines.
I know we are all scared about the physical and emotional wellbeing of our two boys in the latest updates, but can you imagine how fucking awful the aftermath is going to be for Mob? Not just the overwhelming guilt of using his powers against others, which he'd sworn to never do to innocents, but of the fact that Mob has lost his anonymity. All through the series, Mob hasn't been tied to a single one of the catastrophic psychic events he's either stopped or created. The 7th Division of Claw scenario happened off in rural lands, Mogami was with a select group of psychics who probably don't know that Mob was the one who saved them, and he was never seen in the final battle of Claw and thus was never linked with the broccoli. Despite his power being common knowledge at school, Mob has never been linked to any of these events as far as we know, and thus has mostly been able to live a normal life like he desires. Now though, Mob has been seen rampaging through the city, nearly killing people left, right and centre. He has been reported to the police and is now most likely on several news networks. His face is everywhere, and all of the people who know him now know of the extent of his power. They realise that the young boy that they occasionally tease for his lack of social skills and athletics could've wiped them out in a blink of an eye. That's terrifying, and now if Mob ever goes back to school he's gonna realise how terrified everyone is of him in case he snaps again. He has no chance at a normal life anymore, and that's one of the scariest outcomes of this whole debacle -- Mob losing his friends to fear, and being considered a monster by society.
Well,Well,Well, Wanna make a deal ?
