Light Yagami Defender

I was just thinking about his obsession with sweets, and how that was such a specific character trait that it felt almost odd to me. And I've heard people discuss how that was kind of the point, that maybe sugar was a coping mechanism for L, and it was an easy energy booster for L's fucked up metabolism— and yes it does fit his character in it's particular strangeness.

I propose something that builds off of that.

The way L consumes sugar is... interesting. He eats it in a way that looks like he isn't really tasting it, at the very least just eating it for energy. L rarely gives indication that he enjoys what he's eating, even though it's all he eats. And I do believe that he enjoys sweets on some level, but much like his detective work, it's encompassed him in a way that he needs excess of it to feel even a little satiated. It's almost like an addiction.

And the way he adds sugar to coffee... that can't taste good. It's coffee soaked sugar. Yet he drinks that everyday, multiple times a day.

No matter what he thinks of it, he chokes it down.

And obviously what came to my mind was the term "sickly sweet."

You know what else is often described as sickly sweet?

The taste and smell of death— decay specifically.

I think it's so interesting, and so fitting for L's character, that one of his defining traits is the fact that he quite literally smothers himself in the taste of death, because he's so addicted to consuming it he can't stop even if it must be having serious ramifications on him. Remind you of anything else he does?

Varipper! Dipperian! Idk what to call it lmao

But its Dipper and Varian!

Actually obsessed with these two interacting. Idk there's something really great about Dipper "revenge is underrated that felt AWESOME" Pines, and Varian "if I can't have a happy ending than neither can YOU" Ruddiger (or whatever his last name is) together.

More thoughts under the cut :)

Oh man... this kid is nuts... what a little shit.

Most dark dipper aus are super angsty, and this one has its moments, but let's face it Dipper fused with Bill 😭 it'll be a circus.

I imagine that Dipper essentially becomes an incarnation of Bill Cipher in his human form, like a true Bipper. No one would see anything at first, as Bill's essence is slowly seeping into Dipper's being and turning both of them into something new. It starts with his personality, then his knowledge, and soon he starts getting memories of Bill's life as his powers begin to emerge.

It wouldn't be right to say that Bill exists inside of Dipper, because both of them are now part of one consciousness, even if he hasn't realized it yet. Bill's parts are just settling into the new vessel, and "Dipper" soon realizes he isn't just Dipper anymore.

There's definitely plots of world domination, but BillDipper's first order of buisness is to conquer highschool. Large spectacles that deface school property, getting smart with teachers using his infinite knowledge, and establishing his dominance take up most of the time. Mabel helps out on his more creative endeavors.

At first, everyone just thinks he's rebelling after growing a backbone during the summer and going through his parents divorce. But, well, it soon becomes obvious that something is very wrong with this kid.

I also imagine having a godlike dream demon shoved into your being isn't very good for your brain, so BillDipper (Dibill, Dil, DB?), along with getting his two components baggage, also has a variety of mental health issues that includes but are not limited to; Manic episodes, depressive episodes, violent episodes, psychosis, mood swings, delusions, and general instability.

But besides that, what a diva. It started with trying mascara to make his eyes feel more similar to Bill's in an effort to lessen the innate dysmorphia of being an unnatural fusion, to completely overhauling Dipper's wardrobe. He uses two interlinking triangle symbols to call back to both his pine tree hat and Bill's original form, pierces his ears, and stops trying to hide his birthmark since it's unique, weird, and special in his eyes now. Especially since Bill always loved the stars.

DB probably still goes by Dipper since thats the body that's physically in existence, but he will absolutely use Cipher as a last name when he needs to be intimidating.

With the Weirdness of Gravity Falls enveloping the world, Dipper's body does start to slowly develop Bill's attributes, but largely remains human. Whether or not he goes on to try and start Weirdmageddon again, I'm not sure yet. He needs to be institutionalized first tbh. Maybe the Axolotl will still come in clutch lol.

Anywayssss I'm writing a fic so I'll iron things out there. Just wanted to share these drawings, and I'll make some coloured one's soon :)
