When the words weigh heavy on the heart
Who: Dipper and CR
What: Dipper is back from the dead! Everything sucks
When: mid-to-late December
Where: Mostly around the Pines House.
Content Warnings: post-death trauma, possession, PTSD, mentions of child death
Revival [CLOSED TO PINES FAMILY]
Death this time around, is so starkly different, that any of it hardly feels real. In fact, it's just one long disjointed nightmare until consciousness is finally able to grab him from the void.
He remembers very little for a long time, just bits and pieces here and there. He remembers the words he spoke before it all went black and the subsequent glimpses afterwards. His sister screaming at him, mingled in with flashes of Oscar's face, followed by bursts of searing pain and red. He thinks he can pinpoint the moment it all ends; when the sound, the images, all of it just goes dead silent, and he's basked in nothing but inky darkness, letting the nightmare fade away into nothing. It feels floaty, like he's bobbing about in an endless ocean.
Awareness jolts through him a moment later. The ocean is no longer endless, it's actually very small and cramped. He's got to get out, and that is how he finds himself writhing on the ground of the living-room, a mass of awkward teen boy and tentacles. It then that the weight of the entire past two months really hit him, with the sudden, suffocating feeling of clarity that comes with waking up from the dead.
Visitation: Winter Mourning [OPEN]
Dipper's first day alive was kind of a mess. Turns out, dying violently and then reviving out of a squid tank sort of scrambles your brain and motor-functions. He's doing much better by the second day, though he's opted to stay in bed for the most part. While he does have a great deal of his journals and notes out, it's probably pretty telling that he has just spent most of the time watching TV on his Omni.
He will not turn down company, of course. Especially since he knows he's given people a fright when everything spectacularly blew up in his face. Just mind the ...remarkable amount of Winter Mourning ornaments laying around the place. Mabel has been coping in the way she knows how, which is to say, their bedroom is covered in bones and glitter.
Winter Mourning Options
Canon Flavored:
- Dipper fist-fighting a giant robot and winning.
- Bill Cipher, possessing Dipper's body, getting the shit kicked out of him by Mabel while on a stage full of sock puppets.
- Defeating the Shapeshifter in the bunker. (complete with horrible AND THIS IS THE LAST FACE YOU'LL EVER MAKE taunt from said Shapeshifter)
- Catching the Lumberjack Ghost
- Getting chased by a two-story-high nightmare version of Bill Cipher through the Fearamid.
Deerington Flavored:
- October, and old but fun classic.
- Fighting some bullies with Syaoran.
- The Contract with Bill
- Standing up to Bill and then dying in the portal event
- Mercy Killing Cynthia

What a torrent of complicated feelings. Dipper knows that Ruby had been the one to finally put him down. He recalls violent flashes of when it happened, though he tries hard to push them away when they come. More so, he’d heard second hand how everything had gone down and …it’s terrible, honestly. That he’d put Ruby in a position like that.
Grateful, too, if he could think such a thing. Ruby stopped him from doing much worse than he could have in that state. It’s just …he wonders what toll that had to have taken on her, and if there would ever be anything he could do to make it up to her.
“Hey. I’m-“ God, what a loaded question. “I’m better than I was before.”
And now the awkwardness is twofold.
“I um. I owe you a heck of an apology. Will you come in?”
no subject
"I'm glad." She manages a faint but honest smile. "At least you're back to the right number of eyes." Okay now it's her turn to try and break the tension.
She thinks briefly on his question then nods and takes a few steps into the room before taking a seat down beside him.
"Yeah. And- Well I wouldn't worry about apologizing. I'm just... I'm just glad I got there before something happened that couldn't be taken back." She couldn't imagine how Dipper would have felt if he had hurt Oscar or Mabel any worse.

"I'm still sorry, because I put you in that position to begin with. I made ...some really bad decisions, and it hurt a lot of people." So even if she says he doesn't need to worry about it, he still needs to say it.
"But I did want to thank you," He goes on. "For stopping me from doing something really, really terrible. And for protecting Oscar and my sister. I don't want to think about what might have happened if you didn't get there when you did."
And he means that. Nightmares about what could have been will probably haunt him for some time.

"Yeah, Well... We all make bad decisions. I did with the whole Bill thing, remember?" It hadn't ended up quite horrible as this had but it had all the potential for it.
Still she does manage a more honest smile when he thanks her. That is what she had really been afraid of. She reaches over and let's a hand rest on his shoulder.
"You're welcome? It feels weird to say it like that. I wish there had of been another way to stop you. But I'm glad you didn't end up hurting either of them." They had been hurt but anything worse.
