just realized that most people will go their entire lives without hearing “nothing left to lose” and that honestly shook me up a bit.
fully inspired by this post from @sssapplebottomjeans :3
GRAVITY FALLS MY NEVER DEAD HIPERFIXATION AND VARIAN COMBINED? im dead
What you need to understand is that young Ford Pines is joyous and whimsical and also fueled by spite and one million cups of coffee
“i want varian to voluntarily disclose his past villainy” “i want varian’s old enemies to come back and forcibly reveal it” i want varian to explain his past crimes while doing really bad impressions of people like in episode 1
“so then rapunzel was all, ‘ooh, i’ve gotta take a PAINTING class, because that’s important’— oh, i forgot to tell you about the armed guards stationed outside my house, lemme back it up—“
*tired sigh* no, mabel did not create dippy fresh as a mean-spirited replacement of her brother, evidenced by the fact that 1) the prison bubble was messing with her mind and 2) she wanted the real dipper to stay there with her.
no, stan would not have actually forced mabel to marry gideon.
no, dipper was not being controlling of mabel’s life when he felt lonely because she was having sleepovers with her friends.
no, ford did not scramble fiddleford’s cube because he loved to worsen fidds’ anxiety. no, it is not a metaphor for him single-handedly ruining fiddleford’s life, and no, him joking about making an unsolvable one is not a metaphor for him wanting to tear fiddleford’s very brain apart with a pair of pliers and a lot of maniacal laughter.
you guys really need to let these characters be flawed and do bad things. (and in ford’s case, just… stop. have you never pranked someone before? is everybody on this site a patron saint?)
Already been done. Lil Bits, the kitten from Wander Over Yonder.
A character concept that I'm actually surprised I haven't seen more, now that I think about it:
A character with a tragic past who's beautiful in an unthreatening, pitiful sort of way, who goes "wait hold on, people think I'm cute?" and immediately goes drunk with power. Having a whole villain arc getting corrupted by the power of being just so tragic and pathetic that people can't be mad at them. Someone who's been accustomed to always being the one who's blamed and punished no matter whose fault the problem was suddenly discovering that actually they could get away with murder by being so big-eyed and sad.
And once they figure out that they can just Poor Little Meow Meow their way out of anything, they do. Going from being genuinely skittish and timid into pretending to do so merely as an act, manipulating the shit out of everyone and avoiding all suspicion because Look How Sad And Wet And Pathetic I Am, of course they couldn't do any harm to anyone ever.
And if one person finally does see right through that act and puts puzzle pieces together of how there's been just too many suspicious coincidences and accidents that only one person would actually benefit from, they confront the Tragic Little Act directly, one-to-one, to say "I'm fucking onto you and your shit"
And suddenly they completely snap out of their timid, pathetic presentation to give a big, wide, sickening smile like "no-one's ever going to believe you."
Tell me a soft memory
only been on tumblr for a few days and already it’s like “yeah this is where i go. this is my enclosure.”
WAIT DOES STAN HAVE A WIFE??
tangled the series fandom please tell me im not the only one who saw stan and pete and thought "oh yeah they smooched"
shoutout to stanford pines for a couple of things, but mainly for writing in flawless cursive while enduring -1 hours of sleep, weeping not for his failed partnership, several injuries, another betrayal, familial issues, and spite.
i just wanted to be a regular fan i didn’t choose this
