I Have To Reblog This Because It's Funny. Funny Because It's True

someone give fitz an award. not for anything in particular he just kinda thrives on the validation

I don't know what this is

But it made me laugh

I have read two fics in the last two days where Ford wakes up and his first instinct is to point a gun (specifically at Stan)

Oh dear

Ohhhhh dear

GF/Avatar crossover where maybe there’s another portal or something, and Dipper and Mabel get taken in by Iroh while Zuko gets taken in by Stan

Iroh: helps Dipper handle his anxiety, teaches him and Mabel meditation techniques and tea, patiently indulges Mabel when she wants to put flowered braids in his hair

Stan: ABSOLUTE CHAOS, totally cool with Zuko stealing stuff, tricks him into turning himself into an attraction with his fire bending, probably teaches him some boxing techniques to become even more dangerous

I got Journal 3 for Christmas and I need everybody to know that Ford has drank human blood. Or consumed it in some form.

Maybe it's because Shannon Messenger is blonde. (I think she's blonde, anyway.)

i just realized how there are so many blonde characters in kotlc

[An image of Pacifica and Mabel, standing next to each other. Pacifica is wearing a light blue dress and has a flower in her hair. Mabel has a yellow headband and is wearing her shooting star sweater and a dark blue skirt. The girls are looking at each other. Above Pacifica are the words "Reverse Pacifica." Above Mabel are the words "Normal-ish Mabel" cut off partway through "Mabel."

This morning I was thinking about AUs or something because I came up with "Reverse Falls but it's only half reversed so Pacifica and Dipper are reverse but Mabel and Pacifica are the same but it's also Reunion Falls so Dipper's grown up with Gideon." Partly brought on because I like Reverse Falls to an extent, but all the characters are so out of character. Which IS part of the AU, I know that . . . I just want to stay true to the characters' core personalities because they're the ones I know and love.

So now I can add the half-reversed Reverse x Reunion Falls to my ten thousand other AUs. Yes, I will write this too. Maybe not a whole story. Maybe just scenes. (Who am I kidding, this'll end up a story with twenty thousand words of lore. Why do I do this to myself.)

I’m so glad that someone mentioned the humor in this game because the face of sheer disbelief Ivor makes when you choose to take out the Eversource crown/white pumpkin instead of the ender pearl in the Crown Mesa right before getting apprehended is God-tier comedy

It's white and gold.

In February 2015, the "The Dress" debate had everyone weighing in on what color it was.

the most important thing when i write dipper and mabel is to understand that they are not stan and ford.

that's not to say that there aren't similarities. obviously, the twins have dynamics that can be compared to each other in a myriad of ways, both separately and together.

but it's so very vital that dipper is NOT a 1:1 ford. and mabel is NOT a 1:1 stan.

dipper has ford's love of rationality and mysteries, but he has stan's love of stories and family. mabel has stan's pure chaos, but ford's pre-bill trust in people.

dipper and stan both approach the world with cynicism. young ford and mabel approach the world with wonder.

stan was the twin worried about being left behind, just like mabel. ford and dipper both wanted to carve a path for themselves and their future.

mabel was so scared of losing her brother that she accidentally caused weirdmaggedon, just like stan was worried about losing ford that he accidentally sabatoged ford's science project/collegiate future. but dipper was the one who fought like hell mostly by himself in the apocalypse for three days to get her back, just like stan worked for thirty years to save ford. there is nothing dipper wouldn't sacrifice for mabel.

in my humble opinion, this is why the pines family dynamic is so damn compelling. they aren't carbon copies because that's not how people work. there is a sincerity, an honesty, a relatability between all of these characters and their flaws.

mabel and dipper aren't just the younger version of their grunkles. they are a crazy mishmash of the best and worst traits swapped around and punted to the moon and back.

exploring each micro-dynamic is so fascinating. i love this weird little family.
