Ah, this comic! I remember so well the first moment i laid eyes on it, 13, in my room with my tablet in my hands on YouTube watching this comic being dubbed! Mabel, you smart woman! You knew your brother couldn’t resist your kisses!
Dipper’s face after the makeout is so cute!! And their kiss too they’re so cute together aaaaahh!! ☺️
P.S.: Dipper, you kind of blew your chances man!🤣
( like always if you’re anti please don’t interact!!! )
Mabel stumbled from time to time. She was a city girl born and raised. and Dipper was hard to keep standing he was losing a lot of blood and he was just saying sorry all the time.
This was her fault
She should have just stayed at the manor she was safe and happy there. More so there than anywhere else. Why couldn’t she just stay where she was happy?
It didn’t matter the gnomes were hot on their heels each step like thunder as they got closer. but she could see the gates all she had to do was get inside
And then a fist came down in front of her that smashed her hopes.
She needed to think that’s what she did she got creative and solved problems so how could she hurt a giant gnome?
This wasn’t working she needed time to think
“So Jeff I know this looks bad but if the wizard dies I die so you can’t kill him,” she said simply he’d probably buy it.
“Oh really well sorry about that how about we drop him off in his manor he’s enchanted it out the wazoo so it’ll fix him up if he’s inside,” said Jeff stepping out of the construct. Mabel reached in the wizard's robe finding a wand she’s seen him use it before it was for moving heavy objects
That might work
“Oh Jeff you’re so smart, come here and I'll give you a big kiss” she was laying it on thick but frankly she was kinda all over the place currently a little lapse in her acting was the least of her problems
“Oh yeah baby you know it,” said Jeff with a stupid grin on his face
“Okay close your eyes and get ready for a big surprise,” said Mabel leaning in just enough to show interest Jeff puckered his lips. Mabel places the wand on them and she could feel a tingling sensation move through her body when suddenly the wand pulled on Jeffs lips and Mabel could feel his weight disappear.
She pointed the wand at them “get lost” a simple sentence but spoken with the authority and bravado of a rake. The wand was able to figure out what she wanted done with her load. And Jeff was flung fast enough to cause a thunderous
BOOM
The gnomes fell to pieces as Jeff flew off into the sky the others scattered into the forest and Mabel set to dragging the now unconscious wizard into his house where hopefully he could heal
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It took a full three days for the magic to repair him. Three days where Mabel sat watching the boy, and now that she really looked he was nothing more than that a boy, a boy who knew the dangers knew he was outmatched and still came to the rescue of a thief who tried to rob him.
She wept occasionally. But soon her tears dried replaced with a resolve she would pay back his bravery. After all, surely the wizard had a use for a rake of her caliber and if not she’d find other uses for herself. This was a life debt on she owed in twice the amount now.
She would pay it back.
All he had to do was wake up
And at the end of his three days, he did awake to the sight of a sleeping Mabel on his chest. He was confused at first
Where were they?
What had happened to the gnomes?
And then his mind filled in the blanks.
He had failed And had to be saved by the girl so that they could both live.Shame burned at his chest and he felt he could take no more And then she awoke and in that sleepy face he saw a beauty he could not imagin.
This was a treasure
And he had tried to steal it from the world.
“Master you’re alive!” the girl exclaimed her energy intoxicating, her smile brilliant and the hug had him feeling a heat build up inside him
He asked to head to his study where he could sit in his good chair. Magical healing or no he was still tired and there was much to talk about
“Madam I owe you an apology,” he said eyes not meeting hers and her heart broke. “I tried to steal you away and it was wrong of me.” he looked at her then and she knew for certain her heart would always fear that look
The look of defeat So out of place on his normally proud and clever face
“You may leave”
“No” and silence reigned
“No?” asked the wizard “no!” he seemed upset but Mabel was ready for that “I give you your freedom something you nearly sold yourself to the gnomes to get and you deny me?”
“I don’t wish to leave anymore my lord,” she said bowing then “please let me stay” she was crying now she harshly reeled back on her emotions now was not the time “I can be of use so please”
It was quiet now and he could hear a soft sob and a choked “please”
He was quiet and Mabel could feel the weight of his eyes on her bowed form
“I’ll not own another slave,” he said and Mabel nearly fell over she instead raised her head to protest but he held up a hand “but I have need of an assistant. Most wizards enchant an animal to assist them but I have no such familiar” she felt her heart soar “the position is open” he said with a smile.
And suddenly he had a smiling yet still crying girl in his lap as she hugged him.
He let it go for a while but then when she was calm it was time to figure out some important things
“We will need a symbol of our bond,” he said simply
“What for?” asked Mabel
He looked her dead in the eye “magic stuff” then he smiled “and that’s the technical term so let me know if you need it simplified”
“Oh my lord it is so complicated I don’t know if I'll be able to follow” she laughed
He frowned “one thing I will insist on is that you call me Dipper” he said looking at her “unless we need someone to believe that you’re not my partner, i’m Dipper. Dipper of the pines”
“I am mabel, mas--dipper,” she said back as if testing the name on her tongue “now what is a symbol supposed to be?” she asked looking around for some sort of coat of arms like the nobles had or maybe a special scroll of magics!
“Oh it can be anything we just have to both wear our respective symbols,” he said simply. She reached up and felt her collar she’d forgotten it after all it was more jewelry than tool. It looked expensive
“Oh i had forgotten that here let me change it” before she could stop him the collar was now a silver ring all from the snap of a finger.
She looked at him. “Can it be changed back?”
“It will be whatever you want it to be,” he said pride coming back to him even though his pallor was still sickly “it is a thing of magic so of course i can control it.” his grin getting bigger “have you met me? i’m pretty awesome this much is easy” he said ego threatening to swallow the room.
“Then this will be my symbol,” she said as it shifted between a bracelet on her wrist to a circlet on her head to a ring again back to her collar never staying in one place as it tried to find out what it was. It seemed so
Her
Speaking of
“I’ve been receiving gifts from you but frankly it is i who owe you is there nothing i can grant you?” she asked
“Don’t suppose you can get rid of a birthmark?” he asked with a wry grin
“Well that depends what’s it like?”
He hesitated for a long time before he finally lifted his hair showing her a mark of the big dipper on his head. “You may laugh if you wish,” he said putting on a brave face though looking away preparing for the ridicule to follow he’d been around the block before he knew how this worked
What he didn’t expect was a enamored gasp
“You have the stars on your forehead.” she said quietly “THAT’S AWEMAZING WHY WOULD YOU TRY TO HIDE THAT?” she looked him over then at all angles “i won;t get rid of that birth mark even if i could it’s just too spectacular.” Dipper frowned at that
“but i can help you out with your fashion” she said running to a closet before pulling out a wide brimmed hat with a cone in middle the cone folded over near the top it’s own weight to much for it.
She placed it on his head and looked him over
“I suits you” she said finally
“Then this shall instead be my symbol” he said and there was a flash of light as both focused on their partner
The bond was forged
As the magic in the air faded he looked to her
There was comfort in the silence that followed
There was companionship
It was boring
“Wanna see who can drink the most of that maple syrup you have in the kitchen?” mabel asked suddenly
“DO I!” said dipper already racing her there.
The people who ran out of that room were not a wizard and a rake but something neither had had a chance to be before
I have a folder ( found on internet ) in my laptop full with pinecest art ( mainly doublepines ) and I can’t believe how many comics I didn’t get to see for some reason 😭
My headcanon about Dipper and Mabel is that while they were teenagers (like between 15-16) they started to like each other but they were too shy to admit it to each other's faces and their minds were always filled with worries on how they will try to confess those feelings to each other and what would their reaction be if both feel the same but end up confessing to one other while they were home alone so their parents won't hear them. I feel like Dipper would be the first to do it because the feeling of holding back was eating him out for such a long time and Mabel was shocked the entire time just because she realized the feeling is indeed mutual, like she had this realization while he was shingly confessing and keep on talking lol, and realize that it wasn't so bad to do it and they should've do it a long time ago.
