hot take apparently but just because youre disabled doesnt mean you arent ableist. being disabled doesnt erase your internalized (or externalized) ableism.

if youre paralyzed and you think ambulatory wheelchair users are 'less deserving' of a wheelchair, thats ableism.

if you have adhd and you make fun of autists, thats ableism.

if you have dyslexia and think dyscalculia and dyspraxia arent "real problems," thats ableism.

if you have any disability and think ableists should be 'punished' for their ableism by becoming disabled themselves. believe it or not that is in fact ableism, because it perpetuates the idea that disability is something shameful or something that only happens to bad people

My Relativity Falls Mabel + Stans dynamic

I’m just going to leave this here…

There is a new Chrome extension that detects if a video you’re streaming has a strobe in it, will freeze the video and stick this warning up there until you approve it.

WHERE THE HELL HAS THIS BEEN ALL MY LIFE????

Just in case

I find Relativity Falls au's that switch Pacifica with Fiddleford fascinating, mainly because Pacifica as a character is very defined by being upper class, while Fiddleford is very defined by being lower class. Now you could just ignore this and give Fiddleford's story to Pacifica wholesale, being a homeless "hillbilly" included, but that feels like a waste of potential. Here's how I'd write it:

Everyone in Gravity Falls knows that Northwest Manor is haunted. The older folks in town say there used to be galas and other events held there, but thirty years ago the gates were locked closed, household staff reduced to a skeleton crew, and no one has been allowed in or out since. In the ensuing years the house has fallen into disrepair and the grounds into an overgrown mess. Rumors say that a witch lives there, that at night you can see strange lights and hear weird noises that can only have come from Old Lady Northwest herself. Children dare each other to climb the fence and ding-dong ditch the front doors, which is probably how Stanley and Stanford end up meeting Pacifica for real.

For Pacifica's part, she still met Dipper at Backupsmore (or wherever he went to college), not because her family couldn't afford somewhere else but because her parents refused to pay for anything but a business degree, and no school would offer financial aid to someone of her income level. Pacifica is how Dipper found out about Gravity Falls in the first place, and in addition to whatever technical know-how she has, she also contributed a deep knowledge of the town's history, as well as a lot of her family's money to the portal project, to her later regret.

If modern-day Pacifica has a kid like Fiddleford, they're probably running as much damage control with the town as they can while trying to keep her out of the public eye as much as possible. I'm thinking a classic gothic horror locking-the-crazy-relative-in-the-attic situation, though of course she has her ways of slipping out. At the end they still sell Northwest Manor and move to a much smaller house, where they're able to start building a better relationship with each other.

Just. Mad scientist old lady Pacifica who lives in a haunted mansion. You see the vision.

Trans Dipper HC: Their parents are transphobic but Dipper was introducing himself as a boy from the start and Stan never even thought to question it, so when their parents called asking about their "daughters" he was like "SHIT DID I ALREADY LOSE ONE"

the default way for things to taste is good. we know this because "tasty" means something tastes good. conversely, from the words "smelly" and "noisy" we can conclude that the default way for things to smell and sound is bad. interestingly there are no corresponding adjectives for the senses of sight and touch. the inescapable conclusion is that the most ordinary object possible is invisible and intangible, produces a hideous cacophony, smells terrible, but tastes delicious. and yet this description matches no object or phenomenon known to science or human experience. so what the fuck

stanley pines they could never make me hate you

[hexsta]

I don't know about you, but I really hate mentality that says that we don't get good animated projects anymore, especially when these exist.

And there's more.

Noooo now im gonna spend the rest of the day thinking about Little Stan with brain damage at 13 and ableist and abusive father who will never even try to understand that his son has been hurt not even noticing that whats happening with him is not normal

Does relativity falls Ford still wipe Stans memory's? And if so what is the aftermath?

Yes!! Ford still does erase Stan’s memory, I even did a drawing of it right here cause thinking about it hurts me soooo bad hehe

As for the aftermath, I have sooooo many thoughts

Stan still gets his memory back like in the show, however due to being 13 I like to think he didn’t come out completely unscathed. After all your mind is still growing at that age so i bet you ain’t gonna get out of a mind wipe without any side effects.

His mind quickly remembers everything he WANTS to remember or anything he considered important, however things Stan would rather forget or didn’t think were very important took longer to come back to him, if at all.

Here’s a quick doodle I did of Stan post series not remembering who his dad was for like 3 days because I thought of that randomly and it made me feel ill :)

Stanley also begins to struggle in school, but like, 3 times worst before. Again, the memory wipe wasn’t very kind to him education wise, that stuff didn’t come back to him very easily. Stanford, who is easily the world most guilt ridden child, is dead set on making sure Stan can pass every grade with him, even if Stan has to cheat off his papers. Stan insists that Ford doesn’t have to go out of his way to help him but Ford won’t take no for an answer.

After Weirdmageddon the twins are attached at the hip and get really codependent on eachother and that doesn’t ease up as the years go on. Stanley feels more dumb the years go on but he feels happy that least he has his brother with him and Ford doesn’t treat him like an idiot. Stanford is constantly fretting over Stan, making sure he’s around if Stan has any memory lapses, or about to tackle someone like a rabid dog if they try fight Stan. It’s not the most healthy codependent relationship, but the two feel safe with each other and after all they’ve been through they can be a bit unhealthily codependent, as a treat <3

Filbrick still kicks Stanley out of the house when he’s 17, this time because he was furious at the fact Stanley wasn’t going to be able to graduate due to low grades and too many write ups. The main difference between the show here is that Stanford doesn’t even hesitate to walk out the door with Stanley, even when his dad tells him to go back inside. Ford almost lost his brother forever when he was a kid due to letting his father’s words bleed into his head, he refuses to ever let that happen again.

Stanley tearily calls Dipper and Mabel and tries to explain what happened before Stanford takes the phone and talks for Stan, explaining what happened and asking if the two could stay with them. Dipper and Mabel don’t even need to think about it, instantly fussing over the two as their voices overlap each others asking if the two are okay, if they need money, do they need to come get them, etc etc. Stanley insists that they’re fine and he’ll just take the 2-3 day drive to Oregon just like he did last summer when he got his permit.

The next morning their mother sneaks them into their old home and lets them take whatever they want and a wad of money she had hidden away, telling the two that she’s sorry but she was backed into a corner and didn’t know what else to do. Gave the boys a kiss on the cheek and ushered them out before their father caught on that they were there.

The drive is pretty quiet, the only disturbances being Ford asking Stan if he needs a break from driving to which Stan immediately turns down, and Stan guiltily saying that Ford didn’t have to leave with him to which Ford immediately shuts down that train of thought and says that where ever Stan goes, he’ll go.

When the two arrive at Gravity Falls Dipper and Mabel instantly squeeze the two to death, being nonstop worried ever since they got the call. Mabel helped the boys unpack while Dipper made a couple low threats into the phone and soon enough he had custody over the twins. (His blood boils when he thinks about how Filbrick didn’t even hesitate to give custody of Stanley, but fought about Stanford. Makes him happy that he never met the man in person.)

Stanley and Stanford finish off High School in Gravity Falls. Ford begins college courses online and Stan begins working at the Mystery Shack with Mabel and Anjelita, finding out he quite enjoyed theatrics and art, much to Mabel’s enjoyment.

I still want Stan and Ford to sail. Even if it’s just for a summer I want them to sail so bad. They deserve it.

I may put these boys through hell but I want them to be happy by the end of this that if they aren’t I think I would cry 💥

I'm just saying, if there's a curse that runs along your family line and you don't tell your kids about it, how the hell are they supposed to go on a quest to stop it?
