Oh, no, dude. It’s taking every ounce of my self restraint not to blow another swear and put myself in swear-debt for next month.

[Seriously, dude, what the fuck.]

Here’s the thing- yeah, you did a lot of extremely messed up stuff. Stuff that rivals the actual child psychopath we had to deal with back home, which I can’t overstate how impressively hecked that is.

[Dipper leans back in his chair and regards Varian for a moment and shakes his head.]

But none of that is my business. If its something that happened back where we came from, we are twice removed from all of that now. Judging someone based on that would made me a hypocrite.

I know you as you are, and I’ve seen what you’ve done for the town. You’re making honest strides in the right direction and that’s what matters.

We’ve all got a past to contend with and we’ve all done things of varying degrees of horrible, my family included, all we can do now is move forward.

[with a smile, he shrugs.]
