Do Y’all Remember Before Direct Messages Tumblr Had A Dumbass Ask Limit Of 10 Per Hour And Communication

Potentially a hot take but I think Dipper might be the most emotionally intelligent out of both sets of Pines twins, but in a very specific way.

Ford really isn't overly concerned about people's feelings; it's just not something he really tends to think about or prioritize. And when he does think about it, he tends to only view people's emotions based on how he would feel about the situation.

Stan is skilled in knowing how to handle people and quickly grasping their intentions. He's a con man that understands crowd mentality and how to play it. Overall, he just knows what people tend to want to hear and gives it to them, so quick with a lie. And because of this, he's wary of when people tell him what he wants to hear. He's a con man that recognizes a con, and knows a person's intentions and desires are important so he looks for them. But he doesn't really know how to interact and connect with people genuinely and openly. He wants to have genuine connections, specifically with his family, but for all of his life he's either delt with people that didn't care for him and made it obvious (his father), people who didn't seem as invested in having a relationship with one another as he did (Ford), or people he's had to constantly lie to and thrown on a persona to survive (his years being homeless and being Mr. Mystery). Because of this, genuine feelings and connections are difficult for him to navigate and articulate, or even really understand.

Mabel, out of all of them, definitely cares the most about other people's feelings. She spends time thinking about others feelings long after the fact, considers them carefully, with the end goal of everyone being happy. But she can get so caught up in what she thought would make everyone happy, that it can be difficult for her to take a step back and look at if what she's trying to do is really the right thing for people.

But Dipper is the one that tends to just, like, quickly grasp the heart of an emotional situation and just points it out. And, unlike Mabel, he doesn't really prioritizes everyone being happy, so when he points it out he tends to be very blunt about it. He also, surprisingly, is the first to take a step back and look at a situation, and what the right thing to do is, even if it's not what he wants, something Mabel and Ford have difficulties with. He also doesn't get upset if he's the one in the wrong, able to admit it easily once he realizes it and immediately has a desire to amend what he did wrong. However, he too has a blind spot, as does everyone. This blind spot being his paranoia; if he doesn't fully know about the situation, the conclusion he'll end up at will always be the worst one (stan portal situation). Dipper very rarely takes previous loyalties into consideration when trying to figure out what's going on; if it's someone he knows and loves he'll try to find out proof that go against his suspicions, but if he doesn't immediately find any he'll jump to an answer that speaks to his paranoia (opposite from Mabel, who is predisposed to firmly see the best in others even if there is evidence proving otherwise).

for better or for worse, i've written another stan pines one-shot despite my other wips begging for me to finish them...

all these things i've tried, boy

"stan pines deals with the aftermath of sock opera as clumsily as he knows how. "

I just realized the correct tag is "anti billford"

Every day I long to shake roughly 3/4 of the fandom by the shoulders and shout at them that any relationship Bill and Ford had was horrifically abusive

I mean my username is sort of a huge inside joke that no one gets. But I DO like cake . . .

Reblog this post to ask mutuals to tell you their weirdest theory about u

I was looking for out of context Infinity Train videos to remind myself what the characters sound like when I found one of those “name a better show than x” compilations. While Infinity Train wasn’t in it, Gravity Falls was. And y’know what else was? Minecraft Story Mode Season 2!!!! Technically a video game (not a show) but it brought me joy.

Introductory post that's actually mostly so I don't forget what tags I've used

Hi! Welcome to my blog... thing. I'm cakeiscool. Or cake. Or Cake_Is_Cool on Ao3.

I actually don't know what to put here because this is mostly so I remember the various tags I use to organize things. These tags, currently, are:

cake rambles < when I write something really long

Half Reversed Reunion AU < My Gravity Falls AU that's me smashing Reverse Falls and Reunion Falls together, except Dipper and Pacifica are reversed but Mabel and Pacifica aren't. Dipper ends up raised by the Gleefuls while Mabel becomes BFFs with Pacifica.

A Place To Call Home Series < I actually don't remember if I wrote "series" or "AU" but it was probably series. Anyway, this is my Infinity Train series following Lake after she got off the train and also a couple of original characters, Kaya and Evie.

There are probably more but I don't remember them right now. I'll add more as I think of them.

Feel free to ask stuff as long as you keep it PG and polite, and I'll probably answer, but there's some stuff I won't answer. Hence the "ask me (almost) anything".
