a jewelry store in the state where i grew up
I remember it because they also had a lot of very breakable tiny glass figurines that my mom made it clear we were not allowed to touch
I think I still did when she was busy with my sister (no harm no foul)
Relativity Falls is showing up again and I'm here for it, but I'm sorry I just cannot believe that Mabel would cross dress for thirty years or steal Dipper's identity.
Like, I can imagine she'd try. But Mabel is more scatterbrained than Stan ever was. I feel like, over time, she'd just sort of forget.
One morning, she'd forget to touch up the big dipper birthmark, and everyone would assume it was fake as part of the Mystery Shack persona.
Next she grows her hair out again, because she gets into a groove repairing the portal and just forgets to trim it.
Eventually she forgets to wear a binder several days in a row, and no one mentions it! So she leaves it off because it's uncomfortable and such a hassle.
Over 20 years, she slowly drops the Mason identity and falls back into Mabel, so gradually she barely notices, and thanks to the Blind Eye no one else notices either.
Then one day, she looks in the mirror after a show and realizes all at once that she's utterly failed to keep up the facade, and no one cares.
I dunno about you, but that feels like delicious angst to me. It reminds her how utterly alone Dipper was out here. And imagine, someone who's kept their memories congratulates her on her "transition," and Mabel has to choke back a sob because (if you subscribe to the trans Dipper idea) it feels like she's spitting in her brother's face by basically undoing his transition.
Whether Dipper feels that way about it or not, Mabel would feel awful.
In brief, making Dipper and Mabel just copy the Stans' story verbatim is boring. Mix it up a little!
Oh I know that anime
A lazy prince is suddenly thrust into power, he constantly tries to push his work on to others or find ways to get out of working but his laziness is continually misconstrued into genius and revolutionary ideas.
Jimmy’s power is the ability to grow purple colored crystals out of his skin
The crystals are edible and can heal whoever eats them however their is a down side it taste terrible and smells bad to
Only the people that eat the crystals can taste them but jimmy has special tastes buds that block out the taste
other people cant smell the crystals but jimmy can and it’s why he loves bubble baths because the smell makes him feel dirty
This is empires season 1 king Joel’s weapon of choice
if you have multiple hcs, go with your fave or the one you have the most reasoning for
i'll go first with the objectively correct order: pearl oldest because Vibes, jimmy as the middle child because he's the punching bag (canary), grian as the youngest because of his chaotic gremlin energy
rb with your reasoning (read: propaganda) in the tags!
One of my favorite things in Steven Universe is fusion and my favorite part of fusion is the contrasting unique dance styles of the characters
so here is what I think the gemcyt characters individual styles are
Jimmy I don’t know the style but he has a lot of leg movements and kicks as a reference to his irl love of football
Grian his style is disco because he had a hippie theme that one time and disco was around during that Time period also he uses that finger to the sky move to poke his partner because he is a little gremlin
Joel does ballet like the pearls in cannon but even though he is not the shortest in this au he still over compensates by puffing out his chest like a peacock and he is on his tippy toes as much as possible and jumps into the air very often
Lizzie Hula dancing because her design is based heavily on empires season one lizzie the ocean queen she takes inspiration from island dancing
Cleo has very stiff movement because she is zombie Cleo and she dances like Michael Jackson in the thriller music video and she dances walk like an Egyptian because mummy’s are Kinda like zombies
Scott does not use his feet because as a sapphire floats and he does not use his legs he spins a lot and he has a very old Scottish style because he is Scottish
Skizz dances like the prince from Cinderella because he is a prince amongst men
On one of the many misadventure the bad boys had while they were traveling jimmy was taken by a cyclops. Joel wanted to run in and send the cyclops back to Tartarus on the spot but grian didn’t feel like dying that day and thought that it would be a better idea for him to distract the cyclops. so it was decided when the cyclops was busy with grian joel could sneak past and grab jimmy so they could all leave without being maimed.
And So it began grian put on a dress and for the rest of the rescue mission told Joel to only refer to him as Ariana Griande (he didn’t need to do this)
The two separated joel snuck towards jimmy while Ariana Griande taunted the cyclops into following him somewhere else but unfortunately Ariana Griande ran into a wall literally
Fortunately there happened to be a hunter of Artemis nearby named Pearl. She helped the demigod by killing the cyclops that had cornered him. after the bad boys regrouped and things calmed down they got to talking she was a bit behind the times and didn’t get the reference so she tried to recruit Ariana Griande but when she found out the truth she backed off
they left on good terms and it was during this enlightening conversation that the bad boys found out why they were being hunted by monsters nobody else could see and that they were demigods
When Hermes told sausage and joel that they were bad parents I found it hilarious but I have made it my goal to turn it into angst here’s what I came up with
So Hermes became a teenager in a split second and was immediately overwhelmed with new strong hormone fueled emotions
He yells at his father’s and tells them that they are terrible parents
after he’s finished blowing up at them he fly’s off to cool down but when he finally returns his parents are gone and then don’t ever return
the last thing Hermes ever told his parents is that they were horrible and he hated them
And unlike us he has no clue why
