we've all seen trans boy dipper pines but i think more people should consider trans girl mabel. that girl has the most gender euphoria of all time shes over the moon to get to do preteen girl things like having sleepovers with her besties and crushing on boys and covering herself in glitter. also i think it makes dippers manliness crisises 3x funnier if mabel already had a gender revelation years ago and is just chilling. see my vision.
I like imagining the other shape Henchmaniacs are from Bill's dimension because it means they can occasionally present a united front on issues that were probably very important in their home dimension but are completely inscrutable to the non-shapes.
I remember meeting a guy at a bar a year or so ago who told me he worked at the international consortium that does the porn parodies of all the top-grossing film releases. He said that the whole Barbenheimer situation presented his combine with some spectacular highs and lows. Because he said that with Barbie, right, the thing about Barbie is that there's already kind of a three-way ideatic, structural parallel between the curated artificiality of Barbie as a children's toy, the curated artificiality of Barbie as a mass market film, and the curated artificiality of pornography as a genre. Add on top of that that Barbie as a film is already feeling this tension, right where it's trying to be about a character graduating from the platonic sexlessness of a children's franchise to the functional-and-frank sexuality of being a living human woman, but it's also being bogged down in the "Everyone-is-beautiful-no-one-is-horny" aesthetic restrictions of any contemporary big-budget mass-market film so the two states end up looking pretty similar, he said. I mean the film itself is very aware of that tension, right, with that joke about how "casting Margot Robbie is the wrong move if you want to make that point," all that jazz. So, all that in mind, Barbie-themed pornography, he said, is in a weird way actually kind of complementary to the extant project, gesturing at unaddressed tensions and ideas, a dark mirror, the shadow self it wants to deny but can't, there's a lot of room to play in the space. He used the adjective "Lynchian" a couple of times, he seemed super stoked, he was talking with his hands. Oppenheimer, on the other hand. Oppenheimer he said presented a problem. Because obviously you can eroticize the detonation of an atomic bomb, we're all probably three mutuals removed from someone on this site who does exactly that, but obviously that's a niche market, and moreover it's a market that has a ton of overlap with high-minded thinkers who treat the historical use of atomic weapons against Japan with the level of gravity that atrocity demands. So they were stuck. They were really stuck. He told me that they'd been pulling their hair out for months trying to square the circle and all they had to show for it was a big whiteboard with the phrase "Grope-nheimer" written on it

“my sentient sword came out to me as transmasc, i mean, talk about un-she/they-ing your blade!”
Do you have any headcannons for the bad sanses?
OHHH man DO I.
Rubbing my hands together
I love a lot of different versions of the bad sanses, from extremely toxic to a familial relationship.
However! I do not count Cross nor Error to be a part of the bad sanses—they are their own stuff (cross was just a deal with nightmare, partnered with killer at times, and Error is a neutral party)
toxic wise?
Horror:
- He wouldn’t get along with any of them. Only one he could cooperate with is Dust, because he has some sort of living person feeling to him compared to nightmare and killer
- He’d keep his distance, keep his head down, and do what he’s told to survive.
- Horror still doesn’t eat. He can’t bring himself to. He feels selfish to eat while the people of his AU are still starving
- Horror didn’t have a choice in joining the bad sanses, and he isn’t getting anything out of it. He also isn’t allowed to go back to his AU, because that would give off positivity, which nightmare wouldn’t want from his henchmen and blah blah
- Horror doesn’t do missions that have to do with killing. He does dirty work, like cleaning up after stuff, stealing / buying supplies / scavenging and such. He refuses to take part in murder so nightmare finds other uses of him to create negativity.
Dust..
- He was not a willing member of the bad sanses
- He dislikes killing. He had only done it to get rid of the human in his AU, which was over with, so he doesn’t have a reason to anymore.
- His room is the worst of all of them. He has tantrums, nightmares, and breakdowns in his room.
- He has a big will to run from nightmare. Any chance he can, he takes it.
Killer..
- Due to his past with Chara, he’s a heavy follower of rules, orders, and keeping in his place.
- He reminds the others of their place at times, to remind them that they are not in control, that they HAVE to follow nightmare or there could be consequences (it’s for their own good—it’s for their safety.) (he’s projecting his rules to keep himself safe onto the others to help them survive)
Nightmare..
- Nightmare encourages the misinformation that horror is a cannibal. He teases him with food, bodies (tempt-break his promise to himself to eat no human), and other things
- He has replaced them a few times. Specifically Dust and Killer, Dust the most because of his will to escape.
- ALWAYS has eyes on them. He knows everything they’re doing, where they are, what they’re feeling.
- They’re not allowed to go back to their AUs. Period. They can’t go anywhere without Nightmare allowing them.
Familial wise?
- touch starved. They are generally clingy but push each other away
- They eat together. Usually in silence
- Nightmare is in charge of cooking—all the others are HORRIBLE cooks and cannot be trusted in the kitchen
- they are like each other’s “therapy”. They help horror get into the habit of starting to try eating again, for killer to stop being so “I am below you” and stuff, Dust to feel like he’s not a horrible person, nightmare not feeling lonely, ect ect
- cuddle piles.
- they can get away with annoying each other more often
Shipping wise.. (bad sans poly)
- touch starved.
• Killer doesn’t always realize, but he does small stuff like hand holding, head on lap, stuff like that
• Dust liked being squished, held, junk like that. Like having someone lay on top of him,
• Horror does lots of cuddling, being a mattress, blanket, or big spoon.
- Nightmare allows them to go to their AUs and such
- Horror’s love language to them is physical touch, Killer’s is gift giving, dust is insults, and Nightmare is silent affection.
has anyone else brought up how all of Bill’s henchmaniacs seem to be based on toys? is there something up with that?? because the idea of this omnipotent, immature weirdo making himself an army of imaginary friends is compelling to me.
finally got a job 😌
I based this off
wait this just changed something in me
Guys- guys- I'm not alive. I'm not even real. I never have been. I'm just a hallucination that a lot of people have. This isn't an actual post. You're just fucking crazy.
