"Um, Jonny...your D'Ville Is Showing."

I'm not crying, you are.

The Rusty Quill twitter continues their fine tradition of going right for the throat.

Stop doing this to me, boys. Please, I beg you, oh eldritch entities, let them be happy.

(Season 4 spoilers, my dudes)

Oh yes, the dumb™ Jonathan Sims is back and ready to stick his nose or well, his entire body where he shouldn't!

...Hey guys. I just finished volume 96.

me at me: why did you make this. why do you like suffering

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.

Another very dumb TMA AU/fic prompt.

I’ve seen fics where Elias’s next planned body is Tim and I just had the thought that if this was the case then Elias would need to set up paper trial and everything saying Tim’s the next head of the institute.

So what if Elias accidentally gets knocked into a coma or something (to busy plotting his next evil speech in his head and falls down the stairs or something dumb like that) and he’s out of it so they check to see whose in charge next…and it’s TIM.

No one knows why, Sasha, Jon and Martin are going out of their mind because Tim? He picks Tim? What? Why?

Tim also very confused but just decides to roll with it.

This leads to either A) Tim finding out about all the fears and everything and archive crew stopping everything from happening and saving the day or

B) Tim doesn’t find out but somehow still manages to stop everything! Just through sheer dumb luck, weird business choices (most of which are part of his scheme to set Martin and Jon up so he can win the betting pool) ect.

Just no one finding out about any of fears but still stopping all of them.

The Lukases can’t interfere because Tim is so social he scares them.

Once Elias wakes up he sees hundreds of years of planning fucked up by Tim.

Elias: HOW COULD YOU NOT STOP HIM??

Peter: HE JUST KEPT TALKING ABOUT KAYAKING! RETREAT WAS THE ONLY OPTION.

murdoc: pain is just weakness leaving the body.

russel: so if i break your nose again, you won't cry because it's making you stronger?

tropes i will never get tired of

fake dating

omniscient narrator who immediately contradicts the characters (“This is fine,” she said. It was, in no way, shape, or form, fine.)

deadpan jokes while swordfighting

the “I FUCKING LOVE MY WIFE” guy

oblivious pining that slowly escalates until A is going on page rants about how pretty B’s eyes are but still doesn’t seem to recognize they’re in love

Strong Leader Type having to physically fall down in order for the other characters to see how exhausted they are

funny villains who talk and make jokes with their heroes while they’re fighting them

the villains presented as the protagonists

*increasingly pulls out bigger and bigger weapons from more unlikely places*

“I said all of your weapons” *pulls out more*

“ALL OF THEM” *pulls out one last tiny dagger*

traumatized character using humor to cover up ptsd

characters going out for a break at a restaurant/movie/whatever and something bad happening

using the “*gasp* what’s that over there???” trick to avert the enemy’s attention and it working

a villain’s weakness being something totally random and nonsensical

a hero duo arguing over who’s the sidekick while fighting a villain

“don’t be silly, we don’t need [important thing]”  “you lost it, didn’t you?”  “yeah”

“what’s the one thing I told you not to do tonight?”  “raise the dead”   “and what did you do?”  “raised the dead”

“I think that went pretty well” *explosion in the distance*

alex hirsch truly is like. the guy ever. he created one of if not the most renowned and successful disney tva shows. he clowns on said network. he won his high school’s bird calling contest. he hates trump and is always advocating for people to vote. also prank calls republican/maga hotlines and was on the washington post for such. he voices half the cast of his own show and does a deranged mickey mouse voice he uses for like two separate shows. he owns a giant taxidermy buffalo. he and his sister were on an international improv team in high school. disney censored practically all queer themes in his show and now he has a nyt best seller (and created the website plus recent interviews ect ect) that imply there was something going on between that fuck ass triangle and ford. a straight man creating good old man yaoi. creates the craziest rabbit holes to send the fandom down probably primarily fueled by adhd and coffee. he probably has his flannel sewn to his body atp and has thousands of sticky hands on the wall in his house. i could go on but he’s just truly such a interesting guy
