Does anyone happen to have the Al-V for blog theme code saved? I was looking for it, and I can't find it, it would be nice to add it back to my blog if it still works :''D And I'm assuming the shimeji of him that was posted before is no longer up too?
So, I can't find where the original post about the blog Alcor is, but I can tell you how to add him to your blog. You need to edit your theme (you can do this by going to your blog on desktop and clicking the paint palette icon in the top right). Then click Edit HTML in the top left. Finally, look for the text "<head>". It should be near the top. Put the following code right beneath that:
Next: the shimeji does still exist! The main post about it is here, but two of the important links don't work anymore. Luckily I have alternative links for you!
“I can and am. The entity you are claiming is Dipper can be summoned with Bill’s circle. Completely unmodified. When I summoned him he didn’t look or act like Dipper did.”
“And did he look or act like Bill?”
“No, but that could easily be an act! You don’t understand how clever Bill is! He is a master manipulator and we shouldn’t underestimate him! We got lucky last time. If he can breach the dimensional barrier again, it’s over.”
Mabel cut into the grunkles’ argument. “If Bill was going to pretend to be Dipper, why wouldn’t he just pretend to be Dipper? He did it before, back when I held that puppet show.”
“What,” said Stan. “What?”
Ford shook his head. “It’s unlikely that he would be able to pull off being Dipper for an extended period of time. You two were close, you would notice quickly that your brother wasn’t acting the way he used to.”
“We’re still close and I would notice if he was acting like an evil triangle! He hasn’t been at all, he’s just a little confused without his memories.”
“And didn’t you say that Dipper left the magic circle thing that you summoned him into?” Stan asked. “Seem to recall you saying that Bill wouldn’t have been able to do that.”
“I said that Bill shouldn’t have been able to do that, but I might have made a mistake. It’s been about a decade since I was actually in a place where demon summoning was normalized. I easily could have forgotten some of the safety tips in that time.”
“Ford.”
“Look,” Ford said. “I’m not saying that he is definitely, without a doubt Bill. But I am saying that we shouldn’t just accept at face value that he’s Dipper, either. I want to run some tests. We just got out of one Weirdmaggedon, I am not going to let another one happen.”
“You are not running tests on my nephew!”
“Why are you so sure he’s your nephew? You’ve never interacted with him.”
“I trust Mabel.”
“And if he wasn’t Dipper,” Mabel said. “How come I’m the only one who can see him? Why would I be able to see Bill?”
“That’s one of many things I would like to find out.”
“Well you’re not running tests on him! He doesn’t want to be treated like some lab rat! Right, Dipper?”
It realized that she was talking to it.
“Right?” Mabel asked again. “Dipper?”
“Right?” it said.
“Yeah! Exactly! He’s not okay with it!”
“Ford knows a lot about about Bill, right?” it asked.
“Huh?” said Mabel. “Well, yeah, but I don’t see why that matters.”
“Bill was a demon,” it continued. “Ford knows a lot about demons?”
“Yeah? I guess?”
“I’m a demon.”
“You’re my brother.”
“I’m your brother. And a demon. And if Ford knows a lot about demons… could he get my memories back?”
“We have the scrapbooks for that.”
“Oh... Okay.”
“But… I suppose it doesn’t hurt to have a backup plan. If you’re sure you’re okay with it?”
“I want to know. I want to remember.”
“Okay.” Mabel turned back to Ford. “Dipper says that he’d be okay with some tests. He wants your help getting his memories back.”
“That is one of the things I wanted to accomplish, assuming it’s possible.” Ford sighed. “I’m not planning on doing things that I know will cause harm. I want to be wrong about him being Bill. I want Dipper to be fine, with just a little memory loss. And because that possibility exists, however remote it is, I don’t want to do anything that will deepen the rift between us after this gets fixed. I just. I am not willing to let Bill manipulate me and my family into causing the end of everything again. I just got back to this dimension, I just got a family again, and I am not willing to lose everything. Not again.
“I know that you want your brother to be back and okay, but he is a demon, there is no question of that. And demons are almost always bad news. Could you please entertain the possibility that you might be wrong? That he could be a threat?”
“You can run your tests on him,” Mabel repeated. “Since he’s okay with it.”
“That’s good enough, I suppose.”
“But I want to be there,” she said.
“Well. Some of the tests might be a little dangerous for a child to—”
“Six—Ford—” Stan started.
“But,” Ford continued, “all I’m planning on doing today is having him explore his connection to the nightmare realm, essentially just meditation, so yes, you can watch if you want.”
Convo from the 18+ discord about a very silly star wars crossover I wanted to share.
gremgeous the gem pillar
Just had a GREAT idea for a star wars crossover
Just dipper visiting the star wars universe for whatever reason (multiverse vacation maybe? Idk. Dipper maybe dusted off that old portal in a fit of nostalgia or smth) and palpatine finds him and tries to tempt alcor to his side by offering him power
Standard stuff for the sith really
Except
Well
If you offer a demon unspecified power, in what form are they going to take it if not in the one who is offering's soul?
Biggest and best tasting power boost there is, really!
And then maybe he takes over the empty shell of a body afterwards which may or may not grant him force acess and alcor has a grand old time making a mess out of running the republic (or at least running lose in the senate)
This is like... early prequals or pre-preauals era maybe.
When palpafucker is still undercover and being all covert and unsuspicious and stuff
I call this.... "palpatines penechance for grand speeches and unspecific ominous statements to try and seem all powerful and cool and dramatic fuck him over"
Or in shorter terms ... . "There's a demon lose in the senate"
And it basically runs like that one john mullaney bit
With a side dashing of that one journak 3 thing where bill posesses a guy, messes with a roman army and then makes a guys head explode
Also like nobody knows who alcor is or that hes even there bc theres no demons or dream demons in star wars (that i know of) so he gets the run of the place
Even moreso than back home in gravity falls bc no one knows magic, its all "force this" and "force that"
Dippered probably spends a lot of time nerding out over the different alien species since they dont have those back in his dimension (theyve got aliens but theyre different kinds) and also about the laser swords (just like the one Grunkle Ford made for them all (Ford, Dipper, Mabel, Stan, Soos, Grenda, Candy, Grendas boyfriend, Pacifica, and even waddles and gompers) back in 2017! Good times, good times.)
swbeeworm
oh this sounds like fun
gremgeous the gem pillar
Right???
swbeeworm
if i was familiar enough with the star wars universe to write anything in it i'd give this a shot
gremgeous the gem pillar
right???
swbeeworm
like i know star wars?? but i don't know star wars n i have to know something to be confident in writing it
gremgeous the gem pillar
Sadly everything i know comes from time travel fixit and semi-salty pro-jedi meta
swbeeworm
but just.... the sheer chaotic potential of this...
gremgeous the gem pillar
Gosh yes.......
Oh its be so good..........
swbeeworm
oh mood
it would be
gremgeous the gem pillar
@Abigor u like star wars too gimme ur thooooughts
When ur awake and have them to give
swbeeworm
ugh i should. probably not be awake, i have stuff to do tomorrow n i have a headache
but this is fun to think about
gremgeous the gem pillar
I had another thing thats fun to think abt too
Clone wars era, alcors there and everyon thinks hes a brand new sith player b/c gold eyes
swbeeworm
just the shenanigans. the bullshittery. the sheer what-le-fuck reactions of everyone from the senate to the jedi to the people
ooooooooo
gremgeous the gem pillar
YES!!! Exactly.
gremgeous the gem pillar
Oooooh jedi can do mind things i wonder what alcor wpuld feel like to them
swbeeworm
my first instinctive responses were:
1) constant Screaming and a whirlwind mishmash of colors/concepts/etc that makes everyone who 'looks' too long start bleeding thru the nose/eyes
2) wii music on loop
and these are VERY different prompts to have back to back but that's what i got
gremgeous the gem pillar
AKDHSGGSHD I LOVE IT
Oh what if its both at the same time
Ajdhegdhdj what rven is the music like in star wars anyway
swbeeworm
the fkin,,,, cantina music
gremgeous the gem pillar
Like how would they react when confronted w wii music
swbeeworm
is the equivalent
i would think
gremgeous the gem pillar
Do they even have the same sorts of instruments
do they even know what electronic music is
swbeeworm
just. that spawned another Thought
imagine that the cantina music from That One Scene is the sw-equivalent of the wii music and just. just imagine that same scene playing but with wii music on loop in the background
gremgeous the gem pillar
Gosh "wii music on loop" i love it
AODHDHSHSJD
swbeeworm
it would probably FIT
they have the same vibe
gremgeous the gem pillar
Im crying
Mits so good
swbeeworm
sdjlksdafj i saw a post the other day that was talking abt the music there n how it kept playing on loop n the poster joked that it might have been like,, the john mulaney salt-pepper-diner-story situation
which is only tangentially related to this topic but i had to recall it
gremgeous the gem pillar
AJSHH i love that
Gosh ok i feel like take 1 would fit with the new sith in town scenario
And take 2 fits with theres a demon lose in the senate
swbeeworm
sfsdkfjh yES
gremgeous the gem pillar
But how FUCKING HILARIOUS would it be if in the senate story its the former, and in the oh so serious sith story its the wii music on loop im akdhsjdvsjdhsjbd
swbeeworm
ASLDJSLKFJ
plEASE
take 1: gritty, serious, angst, deadly miscommunications--and fucking wii music on loop
take 2: lighthearted, cracky, shenanigans and bullshittery--and fucking bleeding out the eyes if you try n read the guy
talk about dissonance
gremgeous the gem pillar
"Big scary sith! Look at the yellow eyes! What dastardly plots cpuld he be thinking/partaking in....."
[Hard cut to alcor pov/inside alcors head]
wii music plays as he stares off into space during a supposedly very important meeting
gremgeous the gem pillar
OH I DO LOVE THE DISSONANCE
Gsjdgysgsvsjgd wheeze its so good i love it
swbeeworm
me tooooo
.....for the sith one. would ppl see blue fire n think lightning
gremgeous the gem pillar
Theyd probably think its some other secret sith technique
swbeeworm
fair enough
gremgeous the gem pillar
Everyone thinks one of the other sith lines that was supposedly wiped out had it since this sith deffs aint the line of bane- even the cirrent sith wanna know where alcors popped in from
"Lightning was the bane line specialty.... guess where ever this kids guys from fire was theirs"
swbeeworm=
adjlsdfkjlfkjf the shenanigans n bullshittery one imagine alcor-as-palpatine just. going incorporeal, still visible but not able to be touched, and the jedi go from "what the fuck is going on" to "why the fuck is he a force ghost"
gremgeous the gem pillar
AJSGSHSGSHSA
swbeeworm
alcor, who'd done it only bc his ~ornate robes~ had got so caught/tangled on something he could only get free by phasing through it: ??????
gremgeous the gem pillar
wheeze
Alcor: how the fuck did this guy move around in these
AJDHSGDH ALCOR NOT KNOWING ABOUT THE SITH- SHOWS UP TO THE SENATE IN THE SITH ROBES
swbeeworm
asdlkjsfkjsdfdf
gremgeous the gem pillar
CALLS IT A "FASHION STATEMENT" WHEN CALLED OUT ON IT
swbeeworm
a fASHION STATEMENT YES
alcor: :blobsweats:
alcor: what the FUCK is a sith
alcor: and why do they have better style than the jedi
gremgeous the gem pillar
WHEEZE
He doesnt know jack shit abt the jedi or anything hes just vibing!!!!!!
swbeeworm
yesssssss
gremgeous the gem pillar
AJDGSGGDJS YOU KNOW WHATVWPUKD BE EVEN BETTER
ALCOR THINKS THE SITH LOOK IS TACKY AF
swbeeworm
alcor: no listen. listen. i picked these space robes out of my space wardrobe because they looked cool, not because i'm part of some. some space cult
ljflskdajfslkdfjsd
gremgeous the gem pillar
BUT HE STILL THINKS ITS BETTER THAN THE JEDI
swbeeworm
that's even better
gremgeous the gem pillar
space cult im HOWLING
swbeeworm
you KNOW he'd be so excited at being in space this DORK
gremgeous the gem pillar
Ph gosh imagine it starts out all dark and serious and angsty and creepy in the whole beginning exchange
But as soon as the day after alcor takes up palps role hits it takes a sharp turn into crack terriotry
gremgeous the gem pillar
OH HE WOULD
swbeeworm
yESSSS
gremgeous the gem pillar
Alcor takes one look at dooku and is like "youre the only one aroynd here with any sort of fashion sense"
"And its HORRIBLE"
swbeeworm
sljflskdjfsd
gremgeous the gem pillar
Just roasts him
And by extension everyone else too
swbeeworm
dooku has NO IDEA what's going on but at this point ""palpatine"" or whatever's taken over him is ten minutes into a rant abt the layers on layers of boring robes jedi wear and at this point he'll take the backhanded compliment about his own style
gremgeous the gem pillar
Akehdsjfssksgsjd
swbeeworm
just to shut him up
gremgeous the gem pillar
AKDHDJDGDJDHD
Alco goes on a 30 minute rant on why suits are SO much more professional
swbeeworm
snaps "palpatine" into a suit and goes "...except maybe for this guy idk if anything could make him look good"
gremgeous the gem pillar
And its more of a backhanded insukt than a backhanded compliment but anything to shut the guy up, right?
swbeeworm
how much we roasting palpatine here
gremgeous the gem pillar
To a blackened crisp
swbeeworm
as it should be
gremgeous the gem pillar
Its better than his wrinkly old rasin look anyday
swbeeworm
lskjdlsakjfdf
agreed
gremgeous the gem pillar
Be hard NOT to improve on that honestly
But the dude sinks so low i bet hed somehow manage it
swbeeworm
--alcor getting fed up w palpatine's body and just. showing up to the senate meetings, full alcor, eyes n his normal face n everything, in palpatine's robes, and when someone rightfully asks him who the hell is he, he just deadpans "i'd think by this point you'd recognize your own chancellor" and just straight insists he's palpatine (and has the knowledge to back it up) every time someone sputters
gremgeous the gem pillar
Also i included the bit abt the journal 3 thing bc my saga of alcor repeating bill's patterns, behaviors, and ideas unknowlingly and without awareness that that is what he is doing shall continue >:3c

Oh gosh what if he fuckin
swbeeworm
because at this point it's less about blending in and more about trolling the whole senate and being as distracting as possible because with everyone paying attention to his trolling theyre less likely to notice the bills for clone rights n abolishing slavery n such that he's pushing thru in the background
misdirection at its finest
gremgeous the gem pillar
I was gonna say a thing abt alcor replacing palps b4 the election and so they did elect alcor to chancelorhoood
But it might be funnier if he took him over AFTER abd still says that bit abt recognizing their own chancellor
Oh gosh in that secind scenario it would be hilarious if the jedi are all :blobglare: @alcor except for obi-wan who is all like "i am looking away" bc at least THIS guy (whiever the hell he is) has stopped being such a creep abt anakin
swbeeworm
the jedi are sent in to figure out wtf is going on and. they, unfortunately, bewilderingly, confirm that this is the same person as the chancellor who'd been showing up recently??? same wii music/bleeding effect??
swbeeworm
alcor, finding appointments with some random jedi kid on palpatine's calendar: wtf why is this creep trying to meet with a kid alone, yeah how about i cancel that

"Palpatine":[has a completley different body type, height, and face. Plus he actually has hair and is maybe even floating a little but its hard to be sure in those black and gold robes- and with a completely different voice] oh, yeah, totally, Im the chancellor and i totally know who this guy and that kid is yup yup yup-

"This is completely normal behavior. I, as a human, know this for certain"
"I can do this too, but i dont, because it is impolite, but hes the chancellor he can do whatever he wants"
gremgeous the gem pillar
Alcor and obi-wan team up to be passive agressive at everyone who allowed palps and anakin to hang out ABOUT them letting an unsupervised minor chill w a suoer duper old guy
Shoulda had a chaperone at LEAST
Butalso
swbeeworm
the other humans on the council: "uh, actually-"

Ph him terrorizing all the people palpatine had in his pocket......
Ok this is veering into even MORE crack territory but at some poibt alcor replaces, uh, whats the dudes name, palps second in command - mess something-or-other? - with a nightmare
Not just ANY nightmare
But a DIFFERENT nightmare each day

-and promptly fucks off on a vacation with anakin

The jedi start getting a LOT more missions about busting slave rings and giving aid in the outer rim - plus some more dimplomacy docused ones in regards to solving teeaties instead of putting down rebellions

Weirdly enough some of the more corrupt senators go missing after that week
No one knows what hapoebed to them but the robes the "chancellor" wore that week have some awfully suspicious stains
WAIT WAIT
WHAT IF ITS NOT A NIGHTMARE
WHAT IF ITS GOMPERS
alcor didn't even ASK gompers to be there he was planning to not even warn anyone n just vanish but gompers just SHOWED UP
the nightmares were the ones who put the robes on him

The nightmares are pretty proud of themselves for that one

asldfkjsdlkfjd imagine if somehow SIDIOUS CAME BACK and tries to take back over the senate but everyone at this point is used to alcor and one of two things happens:
1) they assume this is alcor messing with them with a clone/double (they don't know how he'd do it but at this point given his "assistants", the goat that somehow made more eloquent speeches than the "human", and the other things involved, they wouldn't put it past him) and just ignore him
2) they look between the real palpatine who'd been pushing thru some very sketchy bills, and between alcor who's been sneaking through law after law protecting all kinds of sentients, and they turn back to palpatine and go "how dare you impersonate the chancellor" and kick him out
swbeeworm
at this point he deserves it tbh
gremgeous the gem pillar
AKDJDJDHFDJDJDJD
Ok i preffer him dead and gone and forgotten in favor of alcor (its what he deserves) but oh those are hilarious
swbeeworm
agreed
to both counts alsdjalsdk
gremgeous the gem pillar
ESPECIALLY if the senate chooses to keep alcor over palps XD
Ph man we can work that into him being dead and gone too- alcor starts dispersing the power and the other half of the senate w bail and padme are like "yeah seems legit" along w obi-wan
The jedi only put like, a token effort into investigating and are more put out by trying to figure out what happened to the real palpatine and all his past shady dealings than exposing the current "palpatine" for a fake
swbeeworm
palpatine: "excuse me?? i am the chancellor of this republic"

Also from a tumblr post the phrase "your pal friendpatine" is hilarious and i think yall shoukd enjoy it too
As is "SOMEHOW... MAUL RETURNS"
Both taken from the same post lol
Okokok so switchibg tracks for a bit
Revisiting Some groundwork for the mistaken sith version
Alcor is there..... because al-v was there first, made friends with the droid army mid clone war, and caled his dad in to help
Which puts alcors initial point of contact as the separost foot soldiers
gremgeous the gem pillar
No matter what the dominant language alcor has most recently been using
OH OH OH
ALCOR WITH ACESS TO OTHER UNIVERSE SLANG
CONFUSING ALL THE SENATE WITH HIS NONSENSICAL PHRASES AND IDIOMS AND SLANG/PROFANITY LIKE "over the moon" AND "hot belgian waffles" AND "fuck"
"Palpatine": [drops paperwork he JUST spent so much time disorganizing (as in putting in a dissaray)] FUCK
Senator: .... sir, what is a 'fuck'
"Palpatine": ......... im not explaining that to you
Or conversley he makes smth up
Alcor, upon realizing the most common swear word is "kriff': yeaht hats stupid im not saying that
Alcor mercilessly roasting the star wars profanity
And how stupid they all sound.
This one is great for the al-v and alcor make friend w a droid army and maybe-sorta steal them while massivelt confusing and mystifying everyone along the way, bc why not add a language barrier on top of all the other assumptions and misunderstandings >:D
But also at the same time it would make sense for him to have got thw local language in an infodump somewhere along the line (maybe an older version) if its located in a different galaxy but the same universe........... but also what if theyre just suoer far away so he didnt get priority acess...... or even if he traveled back in time .............
[Shrug] idk
Mwanwhile inexplicably having the same language is hilarious in the demon lose in the senate ons but also imagine alcor pretending to be palpatine while unable to speak the common tongue lolol
I know it wouldnt work (he has to be able to understand palpatine on some level to take MASSIVE advantage of him and eat his soul) but it is hilarious to think abt the shenanigans............
OH GOSH ALCOR TAKING CONTROL OF THE SENAT BUT BEING UNABLE TO R E A D AKDBSKSKJFF
Okokok
Imagine the basic/english language inexplicably being the same structure w a few different words and concepts...... when spoken
And completley different when written down
SO ALCOR CAN SPEAK
BUT HE CANT READ
Meanwhile in mistaken for a sith land alcor either doesnt have any knowledge of the local language or else gets a SUPER OLD AND POSSIBLE DEAD LANGUAGE in an infodump (to help feed the misunderstandings and rumors and future clashes w the sith and the jedi hehhehheh) bc semi-omniscience is not total omniscience and so is not everything and, once again, is not very helpful
But ill leave off for tonight on the thought of alcor, lose in the senate, in the seat of the chancellor, lord of all paperwork for the galactic republic....... and able to read NONE of it
And barely understands it too (demons are not ones for politics, Brian the Organ Duck and his 200 year sucessful presidency run aside) (his is soemthing of the exception, not the rule.)
Meanwhile all those humanitarian aid bills and the like are all being passed by bail and padmes group all over the place bc their strange and inexplicable source of resistance was devoured like, a week ago
Not ones to look a gift horse in ths mouth until AFTER they get what they want the group passes a ton of bills without delay - and manages to break up a few monopolies along the way
Now im not saying that "palpatine" suddenly acting off and the bills facing a lot less resistance is a noticeable coincidence...... and around the same time he stops asking after anakin ............... but im totally saying they notice it and realize its probably, absolutely, not a coincidence and theyre not going to say anything bc they like this new "palpatine" better. Despite all the other mindbending weirdness and mindfuckery going on there
The jedi are only mad abt alcor bc a few of their own started bleeding from the eyes nose and ears when they tried to investigate initially so theyre a little ticked off abt that, which, fair.
Also the blantant lying and lack of trying on alcors part is a little insulting to them as a whole ("does he think we'll really fall for that") and is slightly concerning to them ("who the heck is this, someone is inpersonating the chancellor of the ENTIRE REPUBLIC-" Which is, admittedly, a little concern worthy) but if the council is honest (or some of the council anyway) with themselves its pretty much the darn best entertainmnt theyve had in a good long while, headaches aside, sot ehyll focus more on the okd palpatines dissapernace and dealings than the new "palpatine" so long as he doesnt start doing anything ACTIVELY damaging to the republic. A little mischief doesnt technically count as harm- and hey theys preffer to find the og chancellor b4 upsetting and potnetially causing the new one to do smth drastic by attsmpting to out him (not that alcor would, its so much funnier to deny everything to their faces while blatantly lying but they dont know that. So caution (and stress) it is)
There’s some transphobia in this one folks, specifically misgendering and deadnaming. That's going to be a thing for chapter 2 and 3, won't be seen much / at all beyond that.
“Breakfast time, breakfast time, time to break fast time…” Mabel sang as they went down.
“Morning, kids,” said Stan.
“Is something wrong?”
“The phones are back up. I talked to your parents last night. They… they’re really unhappy about what happened. They should be here soon to pick you two up.”
“Well it’ll be good to go home again, I have way more scrapbooks over there! And we can come visit again next summer.”
“I don’t think they’re going to allow that.”
“Whaaaaaaaat???” Mabel’s color flashed orange. “Why not?”
“Well, they kinda blame me for Dipper’s death.”
“But it wasn’t your fault! It was—” She went pale cyan. “It. It wasn’t you! There was this whole apocalypse dealio! The whole world felt it, right? That’s why the phones are gone and it took so long for Mom and Dad to get here!”
“They still sent you two here under the assumption that I would keep you safe. And in Dipper’s case, I failed to.”
“But it’s not your fault!” She was vivid purple now.
At the end of the summer of 2012, everything changed. An event that would be come to known as the Transcendence happened, revealing magic to be real all over the world. Storms of pure energy tore across the planet, leaving destruction in their wake. And in the small town of Gravity Falls Oregon, Dipper Pines died.
A few days later, the remaining Pines find what Mabel is positive is Dipper's ghost. They quickly find that Dipper lost all his memories, and soon it becomes apparent that if he is a ghost, it's a very strange ghost indeed.
Welp. Fell back on the TAU train. Currently estimating this will be 13 chapters.
The ground was burned. Smoldering. Blackened. Littered with large chunks of shining black rock.
They were past the point of being able to respond to him. It had been a few million years since they had anything to say, and their core was, all things considered, fairly cool by now.
Alcor stared at the massive diamond that was all that was left of his… had they been friends? They had certainly talked a lot, for a few billion years. Did that make them friends? They hadn’t been that interesting of conversations. But they had been something, which is what he needed. It was a little hard to get too invested in a conversation knowing that the other person would be little more than a smoldering ball of carbon and oxygen in only tens of billions of years.
It was getting harder to talk to stars. Trillions of years ago it had seemed like such a great idea. Other mortals had such short lives, but at the time the lives of stars had seemed infinite. And by comparison to other mortals, they may as well had been. In comparison to him, however…
Well. A main sequence star had millions to billions of years. Their remnants lasted longer but not long enough. A red dwarf could actually live a decent chunk of time but they tended to not be as talkative as their more energetic cousins, and as stars weren’t the best conversationalists to start with… There were a few red dwarfs that he made an effort to swing by once in a while, but for the most part he let them be.
He drifted away from the cooled stellar remnant, from the three long dead planets that circled it still.

So I’m on an indefinite hiatus from tumblr right now. It’s being good for my mental health. But I’d love to hear from you anywhere else! I have a very big project in the works, and I’m super excited to share it! I’ll make sure to post about it here when it’s ready, so you can follow me if you want to learn what that’s about.
