Stang question BUT, what color is (puppet) Leo's urn? Xoxo (human) leo

HELLO HUMAN LEO!!!! I am sorry I killed your puppet namesake so hard

The thing about Leo's Urn (which is kept in Dr Birch's home dimension, K-55-65-65-85-56, under their mother Caryn's watchful eye and on her mantle) is that it's not just LEO'S Urn.

Birch entered the multiverse immediately after Leo's death. There was no time, no stalling. He didn't call his Ma first, he didn't write a note. He killed Leo, and immediately that entire dimension, like his twin, was dead to him.

As far as anyone knows, Murray died with Leo. As far as anyone in that dimension knows, there was a horrible accident in Leo's lab, and both brothers were killed.

On their Ma's mantle is a single urn, metal and decorated with birch catkins, perpetually dusted off and sometimes, when Caryn feels particularly sentimental, when she misses her boys, she lays a hand on the cold side of it in grief.

The second thing is that puppets don't normally. Uh. Leave bodies? Leo was turned to ash because he was burned, and Murray's still using his. What's in the urn is, essentially, a general approximation of Leo's remains and also part of his desk chair that was also turned to ash when the portal exploded (look Murray was skinny he wouldn't leave a lot of ash)

So Leo's Urn is just burnished metal with soft engravings of birch catkins on the sides. A testament to Caryn's boys, together in life and together in death (except not really)

here’s mullet era pal!! Had a head cannon that puppets didn’t have hair really but fur that just grew a lot and could be cut in certain ways. In this logic, instead of long hair only on his head, he’s just shaggy all around. Also thought that maybe the more tired puppets are the more washed out they get. It’s very punny, but in the sense of them being washed out in a tired way, they’d also look physically washed out losing some of their Color also. Sorry if I’m not making sense, brain go sideways sometimes you know? used the spectra and Franklin brush on procreate

Sure is a good thing both versions of Puppet Stan (Leopold "Leo" Birch, the evil one. And Palustris "Pal" Pine, the good one) were never kicked out. Both of them were always co-dependent with their twin, and never seperated.

They probably both still went through a mullet phase, however.

Sesame Street x Gravity Falls Fonts

Continuation to this post, where characters of a supernatural species will have dialogue in a different front from the rest of a the typeface.

This post pertains to @aroace-get-out-of-my-face's AU, Multiverse Time with Dr Pine. Which crosses over into another Sesame Street AU, due to that fact that Dr. Pine's evil counterpart, Dr. Birch, has a very... complicated past, most notably that his ex-husband is a multiverse variant of Count Von Count.

Other Supernatural Characters

Notes

The Counts handwiting is Edwardian Script ITC, the closest I could find that resembles his signature as given on this collectible Sesame Street mug:

Puppet Dracula, is the original vampire of his dimension. Although he closes resembles many legends of Dracula, including the IRL Vlad the Impaler (Vlad III / Vlad Țepeș may or may not be his actual name), he is thousands of years old so he does not follow the IRL historical timeline.

The Von Counts and Von Dahling's are different branches of the same family, and they are Dracula's direct descendants. The Count, Dahling, and Ervin are all Dracula's 4x great-grandchildren, with Delavay being his 5x great-grandchild, and his first (confirmed) dhampir descendant.

Dahling and Natasha's fonts directly relate to their element - Dahling having control over rain, and Natasha having control over winds.

Countess Von Backward's font has two versions - usually, it's Kingthings Frontwards, but when she's actually counting, it's Kingthings Backwards.

In the Vampswap where Birch is the Vampire and The Count is the mortal, Birch and his brother Leopold are both vampires. As twins, they are still a matching set, so they speak in the same font (which is a further reference to how the canon Stan Twins can mimic each others voices).

Bob Cryptogram is Multiverse Time with Dr Pine's version of Bill Cipher, which is why he uses the same font.

When Abby is speaking spells, her font changes to that of her mothers.

CountBirch Vampswap: Origin of The Author and Mr. Mystery

[Referencing the timeline where The Count is the mortal, Professor Von Count, and Dr. Birch is the vampire, The Author]

He'd done it. Dr. Murray Birch had actually done it.

He'd burnt a man vampire alive and collected the ashes that remained, and made it into a potion that may or may not work.

'It didn't count', he told himself, that man was a vampire; vampires aren't people, they're monsters. Deep down he knew he didn't believe that, because if he did he would never subject his brother to his current plan.

Speaking of his brother - Leopold was asleep again. He'd spent most of his days in hospice asleep. Usually it was Murray or their parents with him, sometimes their brother Sherman. The palliative care nurses told them that even if he wasn't awake, it would still 'ease the transition' if he was surrounded by his loved ones in his final days.

Final days.

Not if Murray had anything to say about it, he thought to himself as he clutched Leo's hand in on of his own, while his other shaking hand clutched two syringes.

The disease had taken over his brothers body - his fur was limp and dull, his seams barely holding together; Leo was usually the larger of the two, but it was like all of the air was sucked out of his stuffing with how hollow yet compressed his entire body felt and looked.

"It's okay," Murray said in a voice that shook just like his ash covered hands, and he leaned over a pressed a gentle kiss to his twins crown. "I won't let anyone take you away from me. Everywhere we go-" He was cut off by a sound that made his soul fall out of his body.

He didn't need to turn around, instinctually he knew. It was the Hand Reaper, here to collect Leopold.

"It's not curtain call!" He said in a voice that was equal parts indignant, and afraid, as he took one syringe and stabbed it into Leo's chest, dumping the entire profane solution into him.

For a second, nothing happened.

Then, Murray felt as if it was just them in the room again, but he didn't know if he had circumvented the inevitable, or merely delayed it. He tightened the fingers he had laced with Leo's, his extra finger allowing his hand to completely cage his brothers.

"Everywhere we go, we go together. Including death, or undeath." He said, his conviction was real even if it was choked up, and he stabbed himself in the chest with the other syringe.

If Leopold couldn't live, then they would both become vampires, or they would both die.

There was no alternative that Murray could possibly accept.

Tagging @aroace-get-out-of-my-face, @maridrawss. And also, @stoicjewel for this lovely piece of art of this timeline.
