The series started Stan off as “icky old man” to “younger side of old man who can kick ass” and I think it’s because his design/traits are reflections of how the kids see him and how their perception of him changes through the show, and as they see more of his good side, he becomes less and less of a caricature…. Which is fucking revolutionary because TV shows usually do the opposite where they flanderize their characters as the series goes on. In this essay, I will-

when you're having a good day and it hits you that stanley probably used to promise himself all the time that he would never become his father and he still unintentionally ended up somewhat looking like and acting like his father, filbrick's suit which was never meant to be his was his signature outfit and everyone had perceived him as a greedy grumpy old man who loves money for most of his life

S: "Why are we dressed like this?"

F: "Not quite sure what happened," Ford examines his outfit, "but I like this trench coat, not bad, not bad…"

S: "...Wait, is this suit pa's???"

One of the funniest things in Over the Garden Wall is that Jimmy Brown was only gone for 3 days

i'm not sure i know how to fully articulate it yet but there's something really interesting to be said about how siblinghood is examined and deconstructed in both over the garden wall and gravity falls.

i'm stan. and i'm greg. and we're the "trying to be seen as complete and full human beings by our siblings" brothers.

and i'm ford. and i'm wirt. and we're the "can't look past our own issues to understand our siblings" brothers.

is this anything. can anyone hearme

I’m ripping my hair off rn because i just watched that video of someone who gave Alex Hirsch the letter he wrote for them in 2012 and it could be me except for the fact that at that time I was just a stupid 5 yrs old who couldn’t speak or understand any English and didn’t live in the us

i think one of my favourite parts of gravity falls is just. soos in general. a different show would probably have a character like that- y’know, a fat guy who’s in that early-20s age where nobody wants to acknowledge that nobody knows what they’re doing but they’re not a kid anymore so they’re no longer part of the “marketable demographic” for kids, i think a lot of other shows would make him the punching bag or the butt of jokes or portray him as weird or creepy or a failiure. but no, soos is genuinely a big part of the heart of the show. he’s allowed to be a bit of a dork, and have a non-standard path in life- it’s treated as part of the quirks that make him lovable! the twins think he’s super cool, he’s smart, funny, genuine, kind- and when he gets his own episode in soos and the real girl, his issues with talking to people are just treated as so much more HUMAN than i’m used to for characters in his demographic. it’s really sweet. and i’m glad they do that. i really like soos.
