Happy Weed Day!

Mabel has a crippling Energy Drink addiction. She has about 5 monsters in a day. It’s to compensate for her undiagnosed ADHD.

all these dang beautiful men eating out of my .... lake.... wait?

I bet you 20 bucks you can't guess why I'm sick this time.

We never really talked about it but The Ugly Ducking that grew up to be a beautiful swan was still probably pretty fugly from a duck’s perspective

Our local newspaper ran a story about the legendary graffiti artist who recently passed away and. Literally everything about it is fucking insane. I'm insane about it.

So this guy has been extremely active for around fifteen years, during which he spread these beautiful, high quality pieces all over the country, way over a thousand of his standard signature, and probably thousands more. He did completely batshit stuff like literally spray painting an entire train from top to bottom or leaving his signature at the top of a 600ft tall overpass and this whole time, only five people from his crew know who he really is. To everyone else it's a complete mystery.

And then he dies at the age of 35. A few weeks after his death, his crew shows up at his completely unassuming parents' doorstep, reveals who they are and asks if they can host a memorial exhibition of his art.

Turns out, this dude has been leading an insane double life. In the daytime he was a meek little office worker with a partially paralyzed arm and no social life to speak of. In the nighttime he was a fucking legend. Not only did he climb that fucking 600ft overpass, he did it WITH A PHYSICAL DISABILITY. THE MADLAD. And throughout the entire time, fifteen years, he got caught once. ONCE. HE DID ALL THAT UNNOTICED. THAT'S INSANE.

I keep bouncing between non functional gay ships to another non functional gay ship.

Like excuse me how have I gone from radiodust (don't ship that anymore), to billford, to maby possibly viran and arravos???

My favorite thing is when people take something that was /never/ meant to be taken that seriously, and overanalyze it so much that it improves the canon 10fold

i love love love love love names when it comes to character analysis... not meanings (well. meanings too but this isn't what this post is about.) but how they're indicative of a character's identity and therefore their authenticity and trust of other people.

i've been thinking about this with grunkle stan specifically. notice how even after stealing ford's identity he still goes by stan?? yeah. he IS stan pines. by the time the show starts the only context in which he was pretending to be ford was legally. when people think of stanford pines they don't think of the strange man doing god knows what in the secluded cabin in the woods, and why would they?? they hardly knew the real ford anyway. to the people of gravity falls, there wasn't much identity for stan to be stealing. he isn't really lying to people about who he is, he just isn't telling the whole truth. hence stanley vs stanford. yeah?? yeah???

so like. isn't it funny that the character having a legal dispute with him over stealing his home calls him by his supposed full name. gideon doesn't care about stan as a person, he only cares about getting the shack off him. stan is literally just a legal obstacle to gideon. is this anything.

ALSO ALSO. the majority of the fake names he used still have some aspect of his real name in them. this man can't help but be authentic to some degree. literally the only reason he lies about who he is is for self-preservation. he doesn't want to lie to people — he literally risks being found out by using similar fake names just to keep being somewhat himself — but he has to if he wants to stay safe. stanley middle name pines they could never make me hate you.

Story time: when I was in 3-5 grade my grade would have "playground wars" where two opposing view points would fight. The whole grade would be involved in this and it was like really deep. My favorite was the robot one because I was a spy... For both sides. Twords the end I just made my own team but even then I was double siding. My second favorite was the light and dark sides (the dark was the good side and light was evil) this was probably the most roleplay kind of one. I remember being the leader of the dark team for a little and I was winning! We had meetings at the HAM lunch table which only HAM kids went to since it was after recess and everyone elses was before. I'm pretty sure In one of the wars I wars I got kicked out of my side so I just made a third side, but I couldn't convince anyone to join it so I just kind of stopped playing. Most wars lasted atleest two weeks.
