I Feel For You, Recently Lost A Cat To Cancer :(

Suggestion: never say that again

what if 80s ford decided that the only sure-fire way to stop bill from opening the portal would be to kill himself

but he's not suicidal. he doesn't want to die. the thought of death terrifies him, obviously, just as it would terrify anyone else. but he's thought through every possible scenario and this is the only way to keep bill out of their dimension. as long as ford's alive, there's a chance his eyes could be used to get past the retinal scanner. once he's dead, it'll be impossible. doesn't matter if bill can posses corpses - the eyes will still be wrong just like any time bill possessed him while he was alive. and he doubts that his clouded-over corpse eyes could open the lock either (he shudders at the thought)

I just have this mental image of him holding a gun to his head while shaking and crying and trying to tell himself that there's no other option but oh god he doesn't want to die. but he has to. it's either him or the entire world. and that's one hell of a trolley problem, but to ford there's only one right answer to that one, even if it's an unpleasant answer. he has to do it. just pull the trigger and let the portal stay locked up forever and eventually forgotten. it's the only way to fix his potentially world-ending fuckup

Someone ever say something, and you have to remind yourself that the average stranger does not infact find death threats funny.

We never really talked about it but The Ugly Ducking that grew up to be a beautiful swan was still probably pretty fugly from a duck’s perspective

Worse, underground children's play places at museums. In my home city there was one with huge fake food as climbing structure.

underground parking garages are criminally underutilized as a horror setting. windowless curving concrete labyrinths stretching up and down and all around you, that's some Backrooms shit

all these dang beautiful men eating out of my .... lake.... wait?

Mabel has a crippling Energy Drink addiction. She has about 5 monsters in a day. It’s to compensate for her undiagnosed ADHD.

My favorite thing is when people take something that was /never/ meant to be taken that seriously, and overanalyze it so much that it improves the canon 10fold

i love love love love love names when it comes to character analysis... not meanings (well. meanings too but this isn't what this post is about.) but how they're indicative of a character's identity and therefore their authenticity and trust of other people.

i've been thinking about this with grunkle stan specifically. notice how even after stealing ford's identity he still goes by stan?? yeah. he IS stan pines. by the time the show starts the only context in which he was pretending to be ford was legally. when people think of stanford pines they don't think of the strange man doing god knows what in the secluded cabin in the woods, and why would they?? they hardly knew the real ford anyway. to the people of gravity falls, there wasn't much identity for stan to be stealing. he isn't really lying to people about who he is, he just isn't telling the whole truth. hence stanley vs stanford. yeah?? yeah???

so like. isn't it funny that the character having a legal dispute with him over stealing his home calls him by his supposed full name. gideon doesn't care about stan as a person, he only cares about getting the shack off him. stan is literally just a legal obstacle to gideon. is this anything.

ALSO ALSO. the majority of the fake names he used still have some aspect of his real name in them. this man can't help but be authentic to some degree. literally the only reason he lies about who he is is for self-preservation. he doesn't want to lie to people — he literally risks being found out by using similar fake names just to keep being somewhat himself — but he has to if he wants to stay safe. stanley middle name pines they could never make me hate you.
