Okay so Roe (ontheupsidedown ) came up with this hilarious GR theatre AU... also on the same day Tori brought up a possible GR camp AU. Yesterday was a great day for GR AU making XD

Here are some of the highlights!

(And Dipper plays a hilarious equivalent of canon McGucket)

Update: More info on this AU

The theatre is super haunted. There's dozens of ghosts roaming the dressing rooms and hallways. For the most part, they're all harmless. The kids end up befriending most of them. One ghost develops a crush on Dipper and possesses Pacifica to further flirt with him. That's a weird day for everyone involved.

There's another ghost who keeps on popping up around Gideon offering him power in exchange for his firstborn child. Gideon seriously considers this offer for maybe five seconds after hearing it the first time before declining. This ghost doesn't like taking no for an answer and keeps on reappearing. He possesses Mabel at one point, but during a rehearsal for one of the sappy scenes between Gideon and Mabel's characters, and he's so disgusted that he willingly leaves.

(Also that ghost at some point appears to Gideon while Mabel is there to make his offer again, and this conversation totally happens-

Mabel: *referring to Gideon's hypothetical future wife* I definitely wouldn't like it. She wouldn't either.
Gideon: *100% serious now* Yeah, I am not going to give away our future child.
Mabel: what
Gideon: what )

The ghosts also join the whole photo game. Waddles has a cameo in one scene, and when he comes out during one performance, there's a copy of the picture taped to him.

Also, Pacifica and Mabel end up becoming friends, much to the shock of literally everyone. After a ghost abducts Dipper, the two of them team up to get him back. Gideon's in the dressing rooms while the fight was going on, and when he comes out, he finds Dipper covered in some weird sticky slime and Mabel and Pacifica actually getting along? They're making jokes? What is happening??
