The idea that Lyfrassir joins the Mechanisms after TBI is so funny because that would mean that Jonny continues to play someone who is right there.
Lyf goes to every show, as their manager, and just awkwardly stands in the crowd while Jonny fucking d'Ville pretends to be them and absolutely nails it.
I love Stan's relationship with the kids so much.
GF emphasizes a lot of very real trauma in Stan's past. Everything from child abuse, homelessness, drug abuse, and survival sex work. And the way that meshes with Mabel being this truly genuine depiction of a weird little girl creates something that is very unique to the series.
It's really touching how Mabel just being Mabel heals Stan's inner child and the way he naturally clicks with her. The weird and creative little boy he used to be, before his father's abuse and toxic masculinity beat that joy and optimism out of him.
It's just damn good. It's a really beautiful depiction of an intergenerational relationship. And I haven’t really seen anything else quite like it. Because there’s also Dipper.
There’s this wall between Stan and Dipper that goes beyond his similarities with Ford and its gender.
Dipper is a boy and Stan clearly doesn’t really know how to handle that. He was taught that boys are raised in a very specific way. And like we see how Stan really struggles with his past, the way he talks about the boxing lessons in particular.
Masculinity is so deeply entwined with Stan's pain and it’s something he can’t easily unravel. How is he supposed to be able to criticize his father for 'toughing him up' when he feels like punching things is one of the only things he’s good at? It's fucking sad.
You know that one scene from ‘the Road to el Dorado?’

My favourite word used to describe Jon in a fic is “coltish”. I’ve seen it used twice, maybe three times, and every time has been a delight because I think it just sums him up nicely
Physically it gives an impression of being kind of skinny and gangly, disproportionate and all leg, but still smaller than you’d expect
Emotionally it’s like “should... should that thing be able to move? I don’t think it should be able to walk let alone- oh god it’s coming this way-“
Gertrude: James is dead Elias Bouchard is the new head of the Magnus Institute
Eric Delano, who’s caught Elias hotboxing in Artifact Storage on more than one occasion:
[(laughing nervously) What the fuck?]
me waiting to get dicked down by stinky slashers with big knives:
I mean... Just a thought...
This would explain why FCG's eye was broken when he attacked Dancer and his old crew.
saw this in chat of the rebroadcast... this is an interesting thought. ...if this happens to actually be the reason for their murder bot rage, i hope Ashton dropkicks Dancer to the moon and back
As I already said somewhere on tt: "And on this episode of 'Jonah Magnus' "vaguely" homoerotic correspondence' we have..."
I don't want a friend group, give me whatever Jonah Magnus had going on with everyone simping for him.

Just begun The Magnus Archives Season 2 and I've got something to say:
JONATHAN, WHY THE FUCK DO YOU HAVE TO BE SO MEAN TO POOR MARTIN?! HE'S JUST WORRIED ABOUT YOU, YOU PARANOID ADORABLE LITTLE ARCHIVIST.
Is it so difficult to believe that somebody cares about you, Jonathan? Is it? For the love of whatever type of eldritch being is listening to my rambling right now, I CARE ABOUT YOU AND I'VE LISTENED TO YOU TALKING FOR JUST ONE SEASON-
