Stars-A Billdip Story [Draft Title]

After Weirdmageddon

Dipper's POV

It's been 5 years.

5 years since weirdness bubbles and eyeball bats. 5 years after saving Mabel from her bubble. 5 years after beating Bill.

A lot has changed. People have changed, towns have changed.

For instance, Mabel has given up her unicorns and rainbows phase and she's going to classes for art and photography.

Back in the falls, Pacifica left her parents after taking some money and went to live with her boyfriend on the road.

Stan and Ford have given up on sailing the world during the year. All Stan does anymore is sit at the shack, flirt with women horribly and come up with new ways to scam people. Ford has become even more obsessed about the supernatural, he's found scientist friends and he lives with Fiddleford in the Northwest Mansion, while also coming back to the shack for secret studies.

Soos moved Melodie in and they're pregnant. Soos has been running the shack smoothly and people think he's more welcoming than Stan. Stan thinks he's not scamming people enough. Wendy cleared a spot in the forest and built a log cabin for her and her partner, Alec. She's been working at the shack and at the diner part time.

Anyway back to my fucked up family..

My father left our family after my baby brother, River, was born. Conveniently, it was also after I came out. He said he couldn't live with a fag of a son and left to go live at his brothers in Wisconsin or to go kill himself, I don't know and I don't care.

After my father left, my mother got a better job opportunity so we packed everything we owned and left, moving to Ripon California.

It was a long ass car ride that was filled with awkward conversations and fighting over the music. And even better, when we got there, we had to sleep on the floor with blankets because the U haul was running behind.

Mabel was sad to leave all her friends. I was super fucking happy to get away from my ex's and bullys. The one thing I'm going to miss is Bernard, my crush since freshman year. He was quite charming and had this hot ass accent that made me hard every time he talked. Anyway....

We all know Mabel is going to make new friends instantly. Me? I'm never gonna have friends. I'm gay, nerdy, depressed, and neuro divergent. I'm the main target for bullies. My old friend Connor told me that I'm hot, I'm just awkward and I need to dress better. He wasn't wrong, all I wore my first three years of highschool was hoodies and baggy jeans.

Seriously, I'm getting off track here. Mabel, were focusing on Mabel. She's had a couple crushes, boyfriends, heartbreaks, she's known for it. But recently I think she's given up, either that or she's a lesbian because I have not seen her talk to any guys for the past 2 years. She's just been drawing in her room. I mean, I guess it's good that she's not focusing on men and she's focusing on building up for a career. But still, sometimes I miss boycrazy Mabel.

Now I just have to deal with stressed, anxious Mabel. Ever since we started highschool, her anxiety has been through the roof. She's scared about grades, classes, status, and being liked by teachers. Every time I use the downstairs bathroom, I notice chunks of hair in the trash and scissors by the sink. She cuts her hair when she gets angry. When that happens she either doesn't come out of her room or she wears a hat at all times because she's embarrassed about her chopped hair. She cares too much about what other people think. She's stopped doing dorky yearbook pictures with me because she's scared of being judged.

My mother, oh god, my mother. She's a mean old bitch sometimes but I love her. She accepted me when I came out and hit my father with a frying pan after he started yelling at me. She even did it with a sleeping baby in her arms. She's a paramedic and knew that she couldn't take that much time on maternity leave. So she cut some weeks and asked her old highschool bestie while she works to watch River. That's one of the reasons we're moving but the other reason is because she was being harassed and discriminated against at her old station so she transferred herself.

She met this fireman guy at a bar after a shift. His name's Jim, he's kind of a nosey asshole but he's good at doing it subtlety. They've been seeing each other and he tries to act like our new dad, he calls me 'sport' all the time, which is disgusting. I used to sleep in the room next to their bedroom so I heard all of it. Let me tell you, that shit was nasty and really disturbing to listen to.

He's one of those guys that supports gay people but never wants to talk about it. The one time I learned not to talk about it with him was when I tried to explain to my mother that raising a baby with only traditional blue and pink gendered things is more constricting. Jim was in the room and slammed his fist on the table and stormed off while I was talking. And had a tantrum outside on the porch. My mother wasn't too happy about it, but he somehow convinced her to not leave him.

I'm not really into LGBTQ issues but it does impact my life in a way that I educated myself about it and am trying to educate my family.

Speaking of education. Our new school. We were lucky enough to find one that could transfer our credits and work. Back in Piedmont, we went to a technical school. Mabel went for art and photography and I went for media production and graphic design. So we called around before moving and found one almost exactly similar to our other one, only it was smaller.

I think I've covered the basics, now onto the story of how I get tangled up with demons and shit.

*closes book* ah, PineTree. You're never going to get over documenting your whole life are you? Just like ol sixfingers. Hi, I'm the dream demon Dipper talked about. It's his story, but I'm the side notes. Au revoirrr~
