I think one thing a lot of people miss about drifting stars au (and other such aus where mabel gets cut off from her home dimension) is that she has braces.
Let me explain. I had braces put in in 2018 with the expectation that they’d come out in 2020. Then 2020 happened and i felt like it would be rather unwise to go to a place where someone tinkers with your mouth during a literal plague. Sooooo they stayed in, untouched, for a WHILE. I eventually started going again (and still needed adjustments for several more months!) I think sometime in 2021? I can only be glad the shutdown happened during one of the milder phases.
Back to mabel. Unless she has the time/money and finds someone with knowledge of human dental care, she’s stuck with those braces as they are for the foreseeable future. Which depending on the version, could be years. This will alternate between annoying and painful.
Also, just removing the wire doesn’t really help! Because of reasons, there were a few days where i had the brackets but no wire. Without the bands and wire, the brackets are SHARP. My lips were mad at me until the wire got replaced. Not only that, but the lack of the pressure feels really weird if you’re not used to it.
Anyways this has been my rant on what it feels like to have braces left on for way too long. Enjoy!
Every younger sibling I know feels like they can’t do the older sibling’s “thing”. Older sibling is a soccer player? Can’t do that! Older sibling is a computer geek? Computers are now impossibly confusing. Older sibling likes star wars? Your only two options are star trek or to forgo science fiction altogether. I don’t know why this is the case but my guess is so that the younger sibling’s successes can’t be directly compared to the older one’s, which will probably be better because they’ve done it longer.
Now, I know Stan and Ford are twins and thus the same age. But I think something similar applies here: Stan couldn’t be a nerd because Ford got the title first. So he didn’t even try. Ford would always be smarter, so he embraced his other skills (of physical prowess and later scamming).
In order to rebuild the portal, Stan not only had to process his grief and guilt enough to do things, but also get over the feeling that math was “Ford’s thing” that he was “taking over”. He had to get over the “Ford’s the smart one” rhetoric. Stan gets way too little credit in the fandom for what he managed to pull off to bring Ford back, both mathematically/mentally, and emotionally.
What if jonah prefers symbolic/nonmoving eyes and doesn’t look through other people’s eyes very much because he’s prone to motion sickness and looking through moving eyes is sort of like watching someone else play portal. Gerry’s tattoos also don’t/didn’t get looked through much for the same reason
Bc once your age hits a 'serious' number, you start to think - "damn, I should probably stop geeking and get more serious." But then you scroll and see a 34y/o woman writing fics after driving her kids to school, a 40y/o dude making fanart of his fav super heroes and you realize - "nah, I'm actually good"
Sure
Could you just RB this?
The little RB statistics chart is so pleasant and stimmy to look at and I want to see what it looks like when it gets really REALLY huge because it makes me think of some deep sea lifeform
and yet you say my apathy’s not just, or something like that
What is spiders georg an avatar of? The obvious answer is the web, but he *eats* 10,000 spiders a day. That doesnt sound like web avatar behavior. Maybe web victim? But that doesnt give us insights into what he’s an avatar of, because someone so powerful of an outliar is clearly an avatar
I need to be shaped like a weird stick and be unseen
