Hey, everybody! So, it's likely that this will be my finale post, hence the name of the chapter. In this chapter, there will be the unfinished chapter of the actual Chapter 49, the outline of the arcs and the ending, and also another page where I kept all the characteristics of the characters, universe, etc.
In order to differentiate my current author's notes and the actual pages I'm showing that I've used, just look for the line breaks and the text in bold and italics. In the unfinished chapter, you'll see some bold text directing what happens or will happen or has happened in the chapter. That's how I kept track of the events and what I was going to write next. I barely changed anything in these pages beforehand, so what you will see is authentic.
Also, because this site doesn't allow large gaps in between texts (which is how I separated different scenes in the same section of the chapter), I'll replace it with dots.
So, first up is the unfinished Chapter 49!
Disclaimer: I don't own Gravity Falls.

"There, all done!"
"Who is it for?" Grenda asked as she inspected the stitching, "I don't think Bill has six fingers."
"It's not for Bill, silly," Mabel waved off, "it's for my great uncle Ford."
She had knitted him another sweater. However, this one, had fingerless gloves attached to it!
(HORIZONTAL LINE BREAK)
"Dipper" and Pacifica - Pacifica wanted "Dipper" to help her with something about the case, but suddenly gets a phone call; after speaking to Dipper, she changes course and directs him to a part of the forest; when stuff uncovers, he hears a train nearby and runs for it
Pacifica receives a call from her crystal, which is the real Dipper
"What did you need me for?"
"Help me with this."
.
.
.
"Don't try and act innocent! I know what you really are!" Pacifica shouted. Without warning, Dipper's demeanor completely shifted. His posture was lax, and he eyed her with an emotionless gaze. He arched an eyebrow, "Oh, really? What's the matter, Princess?"
He sauntered closer to her, despite the weapon pointed at him. "You don't like me, anymore? You don't appreciate the little act I've performed?"
Dipper smiled, leaning forward, and she couldn't bring herself to slice that familiar face. "That's too bad. I thought we really had something going. You felt it, too, didn't you?"
Pacifica felt her face flush, with both embarrassment and rage. She released an angry war cry and tried to murder him then and there. Dipper only leaped away, and outstretched his hands. "Perhaps you'll like this better."
Suddenly, his being morphed into something entirely new, like melted wax maneuvered to form different candles. The sound of flesh and bones resounded, and she felt the full effect of her body reacting to its dark presence. Prickling ran all over her scar, yet she couldn't focus on it, for she was frozen in place. In front of her was not the boy she had befriended over the past few days, but a horrendous creature.
With sickly, pale skin and ruby eyes, the deformed monster introduced himself, "I am the Shapeshifter."
He grinned. "How do you like my true form? Go on, admit it. You like it."
Pacifica couldn't ignore the spike of fury in her chest. She gritted her teeth and fastened the hold on her sword. Nonetheless, the Shapeshifter guffawed, "I was offered freedom in exchange for some dirty work. Kill some people here and there while tugging your itty-bitty heart strings. He even provided me with basic information and memories so I could play my character. And then I already had free access to the information of other citizens? It was so easy!"
The blonde failed to hide her realization, and her utter despondence. The Shapeshifter tilted his head. "What? You thought that you could figure it all out before? You thought that the boy actually liked you?"
His voice changed to match Dipper's. "You thought that you were good enough to do anything? You're nothing!"
"Shut up!" Pacifica screamed at him, and launched herself at the beast.
.
.
.
In the distance, the sound of a train passing by caught his attention. The rumble of the ground indicated it's arrival. The Shapeshifter thought of his next move.
.
.
.
"A prince, huh?" The Shapeshifter guffawed, "I bet you're just a knave!"
Bill growled, "A knave?!"
"A knave?" Dipper suspiciously glanced at Bill.
"A knave…?" Pacifica muttered, "What the heck is a knave…?"
"A tricky person, but the old meaning means a boy servant." Dipper whispered to her. He said louder, "I wouldn't be surprised, honestly."
The blond seethed and pointed furiously, "Shut the hell up, Pine Tree!"
.
.
.
Bill snatched him by his vest and slammed him into the ground. With one hand aflame, he locked eyes with the creature and prepared to finish him off. However, the flesh under his grasp abruptly rippled and morphed. The blond was frozen, unable to even say a word. He could only stare with one wide eye.
Mabel, with a pleading, petrified countenance, looked up at him from below. Her sweet voice was watery. "Bill, please don't!"
He nearly choked the instant he swallowed.
"Bill, flame him—!" Dipper called out, but it was already too late. Blood splattered across the snow, staining it a deep red. A sickening grin stretched across "Mabel's" face. Retracting his sharpened flesh from Bill's abdomen, the Shapeshifter kicked the prince off of him and ran deeper into the forest.
Pacifica started, "Are you—?"
"I'm fine, idiots!" Bill waved them off as he pressed his open wound. It would heal soon, but the pain was still mind-numbing, and his vision was starting to blur with all the blood pouring out of his body. Both of the Soul Fighters nearly retched at the sight. "Go kill him for me."
.
.
.
"Oh, come on, Dipper." With an overly cutesy expression, "Wendy" begged. "We don't have to fight."
A very much deeper voice yelped in pain. Green liquid oozed from the deep wound on his arm. Transforming back into his original shape, he hissed, "So heartless, aren't you? Are you that frustrated that she doesn't return your feelings? Or do you just have no fear of slicing your own friend?"
"That first reason is stupid and petty. And for the second one, you are not my friend." Dipper tapped his head with a grateful smirk. "I think I've trained well on differentiating what's real and what isn't."
The Shapeshifter hissed as he leaped on the train. He burst in through the door and disappeared inside. Dipper shouted, "Shoot! Pacifica, come on! We need to catch him!"
The two hopped onto the moving train, with Dipper nearly slipping off. Pacifica caught him just in time, and they both sighed in relief. He nodded his thanks, but she moved on to go inside the caboose. He brushed off his indignation and followed after her.
"Can you sense him?"
"No… he's probably disguised as someone, now." She growled, before taking out her crystal communicator and calling the police. "Hello? Yes, it's Pacifica. I need you to contact the railroad engineer and tell them to stop the train."
"Good call, both literally and metaphorically."
"Hmph, yeah."
She strolled ahead, again, and he couldn't help but grow in his confusion. Dipper shook his head and caught up with her. Together, they stalked down the train cars, passing by a few citizens in the meantime.
Pacifica was in turmoil. She wanted to feel absolutely jolly and grateful that the real Dipper was safe and sound. But she didn't even know that there was a real Dipper before any of this. She wanted to question everything she had been doing prior to this moment. She wanted to go over their interactions in the past week and try to find the signs. She wanted to wonder to herself if she really knew him like she thought she did. Unfortunately, it was not the time or place to do that. And she couldn't pinpoint an expression, nor an emotion, so she shut them all off.
"PACIFICA!"
She just barely had time to react as a meaty scythe flew over her head. A couple of gasps registered in her head, meaning that there were still civilians inside the passenger car. While Dipper ushered them out to another part of the train, the headmistress had her hands full with a battle. Pacifica swung her legs and knocked the attacker off of his feet, before aiming her rapier toward his heart.
"Too slow!" the Shapeshifter sliced her side as his arm shot out. She gritted her teeth at the pain and missed her mark, but it still stabbed him straight in the leg. He howled and threw her off of him. Pacifica landed in an empty chair, giving Dipper an opening to charge in. He swung his sword downward, but the creature rolled to the side. Dodging a couple of sharp strikes, the brunet retaliated with another dash forward. He sliced upward, hitting the thinner shoulder.
Dipper backed off as Pacifica recovered from her tumble. She had already drank one potion, leaving her side healed completely. They stood back against the wounded monstrosity. He glanced over at her and talked in a low voice, "He's definitely not a fighter, but his ability to attack at all angles from his body gives him a great defense."
Dipper continued, "If we can attack simultaneously from opposite angles, he should have a hard time keeping us off."
She nodded, and they burst forward at the same time. Colliding with the creature, Dipper ended up taking the front while Pacifica flipped to his back. The Shapeshifter evaded their attacks, for they were somewhat sloppy and improperly timed. Dipper tried to find a rhythm with his colleague, but she was ruthless in her offense. The Shapeshifter found the chance and snatched the tired boy. He hurled him right at the girl who, in her surprise, couldn't avoid him fully in time.
"What are you doing?!"
"What are you doing?!" Dipper stood up and heaved, "We're supposed to be working together! We're on the same team!"
"Shut up!" she snarled, and Dipper nearly thought that she was going to attack him. The Shapeshifter grinned and took the opportunity to jump out on to the top of the train. The brunet immediately chased after him, and Pacifica went in after.
He escapes after nearly being incinerated by Bill who shows up, fight scene ensues where they end up on a train
Some instances where Pacifica and Dipper mess up because lack of teamwork (mostly from Pacifica)
Celebration, Pacifica sees Wendy and Dipper, along with his family. She stands by the side and realizes everything that's happened.
Dipper sees her and smiles at her, but she only smiles sadly and walks away, leaving them to deal with clearing up his name.
Later, Wendy and Dipper scene, friends after all. Dipper is a little unsure why Pacifica seemed sad and it shows on his face, Wendy doesn't know why but has a shipping guess, Dipper also mulls over forgetting something.
The Stan twins bring them home and tell them about their past
.
.
.
"Kids, we're leaving!" Ford called.
"Coming!" Dipper responded. Mabel also yelled, "I'll be home before you guys get there, so just go home without me!"
"Wait, what?" Ford said to his twin. Stan shrugged, "Just do as she says."
As her family left, she turned back to the blond. He told her, "I can't be gone for too long. I'll be leaving, now."
"That's okay… Now, we can talk with our dreams!" she smiled and clasped her hands behind her back. "Although, I do want to give you something before you leave. It's basically a Christmas gift."
"What? Another sweater? Because I'm fine with the one you gave me."
"Nope," she shook her head, "just teleport us to the shack."
"Alright."
Suddenly, they were both in front of the Mystery Shack. Mabel's hand slid away from his grip as she hurried inside. After a moment, she quickly reappeared in front of Bill, her hands behind her back. Bill rose an eyebrow, "Whatcha got there?"
With a wide grin, she held out the item in front of her chest. It was a stainless steel water bottle of golden color. To his surprise, his family insignia was on it. She shrugged with a smirk, "I may have gotten your family insignia down pat."
"But a water bottle?"
"Heck yeah! Check inside!"
He unscrewed the lid and peek inside. A sweet aroma hit his nose. He asked, "What is this brown liquid?"
"It's chocolate milk!" Mabel explained, "And once you finish it, you can use the bottle to carry around regular water."
He placed the rim on his lips and tipped the bottle, just slightly. Smacking his lips a few times, he nodded slowly, "It's not that bad."
"Told you."
He screwed the lid back onto the bottle.
.
.
.
"You guys wanted to travel the world?"
"Of course, but there were issues with money and other things. And right now, we're stuck with you runts!"
"Nevertheless, we're gonna go on some vacations. And in the future, we can go travel."
.
.
.
"Oh yeah, and then…" Stan continued where his brother left off. The Pines family laughed and rejoiced.
(HORIZONTAL LINE BREAK)
Pacifica at home. Goes to her room and dramatic crying :(
"Pacifica."
She looked up and saw her father's eyes, practically saying "I told you so."
She sneered and brushed past him, aiming for her room. Her mind was too clouded to be surprised that he did not stop her.
She shut the door behind her softly, and allowed the silence of the room to veil over her. Pacifica slid downwards against the door, with her knees against her chest, and her emotions at full throttle. She just couldn't believe the reality of the situation. Innocents died because she was blinded. She couldn't believe how it played out—how the Shapeshifter played her.
All of it.
All of him.
Her friend, Dipper Pines.
A lie.
She was an idiot. She let herself be deceived. She should've known.
Friends?
She chuckled; a sad sound that filled the room.
She chuckled until tears were running down her cheeks and her vision was blurry and her lips no longer produced gales of laughter but the pathetic sobs of a thirteen-year-old girl. She hid her face away from the world with shaky hands and let her melancholy roll off of her trembling body.
Idiot. Idiot. Idiot.

"The generations of children are always so interesting. They change and grow, remix and renew."
Adrian slowly moved his hands, trying to focus and encircle his energy. A pure black sphere formed in the center. Albeit tiny, it would be devastatingly powerful; catastrophic to the victim and their surroundings. Millennia ago, he could make one under a few minutes and force them into his enemies. Now, the last one he made took decades to finish. And it was finally used on the blond prince, nearly killing him… if it weren't for the Light.
Blood dripped from his lip, and his hands fell to the side. The energy dissipated, leaving nothing, not the slightest amount of destruction. A hand went to wipe it.
He couldn't do it, anymore. It wasn't within his control. Adrian gazed out the shattered window once again. The dusty, arid setting was tragically dull. He's laid claim to this broken realm.
He wanted the flourishing world, now. He wanted it…
He wanted it to be demolished.
The prince, Bill Cipher, was single-handedly the biggest annoyance to ever roam the two interconnected worlds. A fuzzy, faint nostalgia entered his mind, from when he was in his prime. Adrian took great satisfaction in destroying his home and beating him into the dirt. He would relish the pure defeat on his face. He needed to keep him alive for as long as possible, so he made him immortal. And, lucky him, Cipher would never give in to surrendering completely. Every bloody wound and broken bone did not stop him. He would always face him head-on by himself. After a few millennia, everything just became boring.
He thought making the prince forget everything and turning him into a half-demon would make things more entertaining. However, it was absolutely pathetic. And somehow, with all his memories gone, he stumbled upon the latest holder of the Light. And the Light decided to be bonded with an equally infuriating little girl that didn't know how to stay away from "evil dream-demons." So, she ended up cleansing him of all his curses. That was fine—it was; he needed Cipher to be pure-blood again, anyway. It was the whole reason he wanted him to almost die, so that he could be saved.
Then there was the other little girl, Pacifica Northwest, and her phenomenal skill and prowess. However, he knew how to break little girls; they were all weak-minded and emotion-driven. The Light would become crazy by internal conflict and extreme paranoia, or be killed by the Shapeshifter. Northwest would crumble and fall, and he'd drive into Gravity Falls from the inside and out. Then he'd have sprouts over here and over there across the globe, where monsters would burst out and annihilate on sight. The seeds of a new era were sown into Earth's dimensional plane.
Everything would have worked out in his favor, but then another child had to come into play. And frankly, he was quickly becoming just as large of a nuisance as Cipher.
Dipper Pines was unnaturally strong-willed and intelligent for his age. Adrian didn't regard him as much before. He was plain-looking, awkward, and an average adolescent. He was just another Guardian. But with each incident in this hick-town, his name seemed to be more and more impressionable. He helped fight off Gideon from killing the two old Stan twins. He saved the other old scientist from killing himself. He saved the Northwest's parents from being crushed to death. And if they had died, it would have helped crack the little girl's state of mind.
So, of course, now the boy had to go. But killing him seemed banal. He needed the boy somewhere he could not leave, all the while having someone else fill his place and create distress: the Shapeshifter.
But things seemed to go all over the place. The prince and the Light grew deeply attached unlike anything Cipher has ever done before, altering Cipher's thinking and making him unpredictable. Now the prince was starting to gain allies with all the creatures that escaped his grasp and the Northwest was steadily creating more bonds after years of isolation and Dipper Pines got out of the mountain alive and killed the Shapeshifter.
It was... so—
"Children… Oh, children…"
He doesn't remember feeling this aggravated in a long time. His hands were breaking the window sill.
"But it's quite alright." His sweet smile spread further across his face. "She has to be breaking, now. I can set forth a siege before the Pines boy can do anything to fix her. Oh, children."
(HORIZONTAL LINE BREAK)
End a/n
So, that was it! I would have altered Adrian's perspective slightly because I forgot to tune it in with his true intentions.
Next up is the outline with the arcs and the ending, as well as some notes. Apparently, this site doesn't accept bullet points, and literally everything after this were in bullet points... so... I tried to make it organized like how I originally had it? By using some text bullets... it won't let me put in spaces either :(
• is the first
○ is the second
▪ is the third
This is basically like if I put a bullet point and then another bullet point under it but I press tab on that bullet point so it goes more inward. Like that. But since I can't do that, then I'm dividing it by different bullet points.
Oh, yeah, by the way, Adrian is Tad.
Place it somewhere
• Dipper nearly drives himself crazy (since he's a logical thinker, after all) trying to figure out why Adrian is so evil (doesn't realize Adrian is just evil to be evil)
• His true strength is him wanting to protect everyone, not searching and training for power; have Pacifica or someone tell him or have it be known throughout the story
• Clarify his childish desire to get stronger with why he wanted to be strong in the first place
• There will be a moment in time (maybe during travel arc) when Mabel feels Bill is out of her league or something with how he acts around other aristocrats
○ Bill could care less about acting prim and proper and whatever, he does it to get support
.
.
Consider
• Ford teaching them how to cook
• Robbie and Wendy breaking up or staying together
• Giving more depth to A. Tad Strange
.
.
Conflicts
• Eventually Dipper will lose his hat in favor of saving other things
• Eventually, Mabel and Dipper will be with Tad, and Mabel will ask, "Why? Why did you do it?"
○ "Mabel!" Dipper warns.
○ "I've done a lot of things in my time, so you'll have to be specific," Tad responds.
○ "Why did you destroy the other world? Why did you kill Bill's parents? What was the point of all of that?"
○ Dipper is surprised. Even though he was characterized as the curious one, he wouldn't even think to question Adrian's deranged ways of thinking.
○ Tad tells them some flashback or story that eventually ends with nothing. He goes up to Mabel, "Perhaps you'll have to remind me." And nearly kills her.
• Dipper deciding whether he would sacrifice innocent people, his family, or himself (leads to paths that are to be taken that any would receive severe results)
○ Bring up why he wanted to be "one of the strongest"
○ Also question his morals and his views on good and evil
• Bill unsure of what it truly means to be king - very prideful in being alone all this time, and does not really believe in others, especially his allies (causes discourse)
• Pacifica rising above the shackles of her blood and family's mistakes, constantly having to prove herself to others (they might be brought up amongst her peers to serve as discourse and a distraction to what's really important)
○ She also tends to blame herself a lot and needs to learn how to not
• Pacifica and Dipper run into some funny or serious interactions with other people who question their age
• Mabel is sometimes a little too optimistic to be realistic, which can lead to some irrational decisions (might be most impactful of all, where she may play right into the enemy's hands)
• Fiddleford is forgetful (many old enemies rising up and causing trouble)
• Stan and Ford are quite prideful and somewhat selfish regarding them and their own (might lead to some disagreements)
• Adrian only wants to see worlds burn, but not really for a reason (forgets why, but it's what he's always been doing since forever, so he has no more true passion - leads to his "defeat")
○ "How one-track minded of him…"

■ "Sometimes, you have to come to these decisions, faster than you may want it. Time won't wait for you or anyone. The actions of others have consequences. Your own actions will have consequences. Being a leader, that's where it matters most."
■ "Even so, you couldn't have… tried to save him?"
■ "Can't save what's already broken, Dipper. You can try, but it will never look the same, or be the same. But, you know, it's not always a bad thing for things to be built again differently. You just need to know when to make the call."
○ Mabill kiss when Bill leaves again
■ "I spoke to your brother."
■ "Without murdering each other?"
■ "We've spoken before, without… murdering each other."
■ "Really?!"
■ "We're... working on it. But I'm only open to it for you."
■ "For me?"
■ "Yeah, just because you'd need him to—"
■ She grabs him and kisses him senseless, to which when she pulls back, she says, "You really are the sweetest guy! I'm so happy, I could kiss you! But I already did!"
■ Bill is literally malfunctioning
○ She is somewhat wishing she could go with him

○ Mason is the one who does everything; cold, calculative, dark and broody; weapon is bow and arrow
○ Reverse Pacifica is bubbly and helpful, and often compliments Dipper
○ Eliese is scared of Mason, and tends to hide behind Dipper
○ Mason and Dipper compete for her affections, although Reverse Dipper does it because he likes her, and Dipper does it because he feels the need to
○ At some point Dipper and Mabel are caught and brought to Reverse Mabel, where Dipper intends on killing her (albeit with slight hesitation) to which Reverse Mabel questions if he will really do it
■ "You're the type to just hack and slash at anything that's remotely labelled evil, huh?"
■ "You're going to cut me down? Even when it's your own sister?"
■ "You aren't my sister!"
■ "I guess not…" Reverse Mabel grins eerily, "but I sure do look like her, don't I?"
○ When Dipper and Mabel are about to leave
■ "Why did you help us?" Dipper asked.

.

■ Dipper is freed, and Mabel takes him home to tell him everything, leaving Pacifica with time for her parents

○ The top Soul Fighters arrest them and take them to the Maximum Penitentiary

○ Ends with him inviting her to spend Christmas with them, and she agrees
○ maybe a short montage of awkwardness but family and love and crap and the smallest of smiles

■ "Well, he's just one of the timelines that could have happened if you chose it."
■ "And because I chose the other?"
■ "He's got a slim chance. And with his dedication to destiny, I don't think he'll risk it."

• Pacifica feeling guilt ridden by the fact people's lives could have been saved but Dipper reassures her that she was worth it and that the other future may have been absolute victory, but that doesn't mean that they still can't win; more lives would be lost (basically a looooot of lives may have been lost without Pacifica)

Mythological Creatures that Bill enlisted so far
• Showed
○ Selkies
○ Manticores
• Not shown
○ Harpies
Okay, so I said the ending would be in there, but when I look over it, I didn't exactly insert much of the details of the ending, nor the epilogue.
But that's okay, because, as I said, I had another page full of important stuff for SF! And it definitely included more stuff about it! Also some character analysis and other things so that I accurately pinpointed the character's actions and emotions throughout the story.
Flaws
• Dipper tries to be a hero and plans out stuff; keeps making plans if the initial one fails, but if it doesn't work out at all then he acts recklessly on emotion or just doesn't know what to do
• Mabel thinks too much about feels instead of situation and fears confrontation/reality; Her deep attachment to people can make it hard for her to do things on her own if she loses them - stems from losing her parents
• Bill thinks he can do stuff on his own and that he knows what to do; practicality over emotions - albeit he just isn't enough to carry everyone to victory
• Pacifica is afraid of failing and being weak - insecurity; has the mentality of proving herself most times and when she doesn't or can't, she freaks; trust issues, feels Dipper trusts her more than she does Dipper
.
.
Personality
• Dipper is awkward and socially inept, usually sarcastic and striving to be wise and mature, but curious and very determined or stubborn; when it comes down to it, he can make a stand, especially when it comes to his family or people he cares about; doesn't really know much about professionalism, but does know strategy; he is sort of paranoid, although he enjoys adventure, so it helps him not die on a journey; puts up a front as a mature young man, but is still a dorky boy at heart
• Pacifica is professionally cold-hearted, and usually straightforward, arrogant, and somewhat insensitive; when it comes to ordinary things, she is a bit clueless at times, but still has a childlike wonder that rarely shows for things she hasn't experienced before; tends to hide her emotions until they let themselves out, although it can be obvious most times when she's feeling something; has more humanity than canon but also more insecurity
• Mabel is optimistic and cheerful, bubbly, and just outright weird sometimes when it comes to things she likes to create or do; wears her heart on her sleeve, compassionate at heart, yet still her optimism can be forced if she refuses to see the real issue; however, the light of hers can bring out the best in everyone
• Bill is narcissistic and temperamental, cocky, and a little bit sadistic, albeit he's still more practical or logical in situations, in which he doesn't feel or show much distress unless it comes to something he values; a sore loser, one-track mind, leading to his inability to be considerate, but also surprising perseverance; his consideration usually comes from deep within his subconscious, when his mother and father raised him - usually shows for Mabel; he can act charming or persuasive when he wants something from others
.
.
Relationships
• Dipper and Pacifica
○ They stand side by side, fighting, never backing down, especially when they are together; a relationship built on mutual trust and gradual feelings; both are a bit clueless when it comes to relationships, so they're quite wholesome and awkward, but do their best to make the other happy; neither expected to have the other, but they make it work, no matter how the universe might have wanted it
• Bill and Mabel
○ The light and the dark, opposites attract; they are drawn together, like fate, as if they were destined to meet; she never gives up on him, and he learns to love again; she likes to pull a move once in a while, slowly drawing out his romantic side; patience and distance, with mutual dependence; he acts based on feeling when it comes to her, and doesn't really know what to do dating-wise; lets her lead them until he gets the hang of things; A natural tease, he is, though
.
.

Notes
Kids
• MABILL CHILD IS PENELOPE PINES CIPHER
• DIPIFICA CHILDREN ARE TWINS - VINCENT AND VIOLET NORTHWEST PINES
○ Penelope is energetic and occasionally overconfident when trying to do stuff; parents rarely have time to spend with her but they try
○ Vincent and Violet have sibling rivalry, try to one up each other
○ They are both somewhat arrogant because of their parents' statuses
○ Both are good fighters; they have swords
○ They both like to read and are curious about things
○ Ironic because they are literally twins when they try to one up the other; can lead to problems with focusing
○ Penelope has fire - pink fire (color is from her mother)
○ Penelope is usually called Penny, and she wears pigtails
.
.
Universe
• How the Mountain of Youth works:
○ To get out: illusions that talk will hold directions to leaving (subtly or abruptly), they usually appear and disappear; those that don't talk only serve as distraction; directions increase every loop (every day or 24 hours)
○ To get to the portal: Do the opposite of what the illusions say, but must follow the path paved by the illusions that run (start from where the illusion ends)
• Winter holidays begin on Christmas and end in three weeks. Summer begins at the end of May.
• The potions speed up healing, but extensive aid like surgery and medicine is still needed - surgery in the case of shattered bones and things, medicine for sickness and old people
• Students wear ribbons to indicate what year they're in
○ 1st - white
○ 2nd - grey
○ 3rd - black
○ 4th - gold
• The mind place is hazy and is usually a place that holds different memories; the soul place is clear and pertains to the state of the person spiritual-wise, usually a nature image or dark and scary, depending on the state
• Eyes light up as the color of the user's soul when they activate their power - Light or Guardian (Mabel, when she uses a lot than just bursts- bright, pale yellow when out of control or yellow with pinkish hue when in control; Dipper, when he uses the absorption - a strong blue)
• What's special about royal blood is that it holds more magical properties than normal humans so they are able to withstand more or do more than just soul weapons/bigger reserves; unlimited
• Tad can't inject the powers into a Guardian or the Light because the Light will just destroy it and the Guardian would just die; normal ppl also die
• The Guardian soul is protected/armoured so that the energy it absorbs only adds to the protection, thus the excess energy can be used in following attack; like temporary reserves or storage - all excess energy must be used somehow or else it will hurt the wielder
• Soul Academy Headquarters, no "Fighters"
• Turning the nightmare realm back to normal fixes nothing; dark beings still spawn on Earth; fabric between realities is already tattered
• Light gives and Guardian takes; ultimate offense and defense, respectively
• Monsters create Darkness, Light creates hope - the Guardian only protects
• Soul weapon changes as it is affected by different energy, i.e. light or dark (This is for Dipper)
.
.
Character
• Characters somewhat represent chess, mainly with Bill being the king, Mabel being the queen, and Dipper being the player
• Dipper represents hope; Mabel represents good things
• Parents were historians; how they knew about Dipper's birthmark and what it meant
• Mabel gets pain if she overuses her power
• Bill's fire is blue and yellow; when he's angry his fire is red
○ His fire is blue and yellow because that's the color of his main core of energy that his royal blood possessed; the blue went to the Guardian and the yellow went to the Light
○ His eye turns white pupil surrounded by black when enraged - truly
• Bill will give Mabel a necklace with a pendant of his family's insignia
• When Bill invades someone's mind, he is forced to also stay stationary and the victim falls asleep if they aren't already asleep; also he has to be directly in front of them
• If he focuses on a particular mind he wants to find, then he can; so minds instead of souls
• He can't find Ford's because of the metal plate in his head, nor Tad's because he hides his presence completely from being sensed
• Pacifica can sense Tad (slightly) because her body/scar reacts
• Tad's true form is a black mess of darkness and despair
• Dipper and Mabel can feel each other's distress and pain when it comes to activating their powers with extreme emotions - because their bond is stronger than any other that has ever existed between a Guardian and Light because they are twins
• Tad spent the multiple millennia trying to find a way to expand his power, but it could only be done by royal blood (the first humans that gained magical properties)
• Mabel immune to Bill's dream-demon fire and Gideon because it was weak enough; mildly hurt by demons (hot water feel); almost completely immune when in Light state (avatar insp.)
• Pacifica Northwest is the leader of all smaller academies in the northwest of the nation.
• Mabel's weapon is bonded with her soul, but it's not entirely hers
• Mabel holds Light, Dipper holds Guardian
• Mabel's powers purge, not heal
• Dipper's ultimate defense mechanism sucks the soul essence from surrounding enemies (so mostly monsters and demons) to assist his own soul and power - causes him to lose control if not careful or in check of himself; needs Mabel to cleanse him or for himself to use up all his excess energy to go back to normal
• Mabel's Soul is pink, but being seen through the Light makes it look rose gold
• Dipper's birthmark means he is the Guardian of the Light; birthmarks of constellations = Guardian
.

○ "I've waited for this moment."

Epilogue
• Cute short story with their children
And that's it!
Yes, Adrian is Tad, and I liked picking out his name because "A. Tad Strange." It's hilarious and clever, c'mon.
Now, to clarify:
In this universe, there was two dimensions, the Earth and the Dream Realm. Bill's family ruled over the Dream Realm because they were the only humans that possessed greater magical potency. Tad gained dark magic through not-so good means, and destroyed his family and the Dream Realm. However, when Tad gained that supreme amount of darkness, it spawned the Light, which was born to counteract that Darkness. Bill evacuated everyone by working with the Light holders, which included Quentin Trembley, who died because of the overuse of his power on his body. Archibald Corduroy was Trembley's Guardian. A Guardian is the user blessed with an armored soul that is meant to defend the Light so that it may live on to finish its reason for being born. The easiest way to find out is by a constellation birthmark. Mabel was the Light, and Dipper was the Guardian. These two were the strongest pair of all of them because they are twins.
Mabel would lose her power at the end, but Dipper would keep his until he died, and it wouldn't be passed on, as said above.
