been thinking about the line you wrote it in pen, i got the tattoo so much

not pencil, not sharpie. not permanent, but not erasable. just pen. it might fade, but it sure won't happen quickly.

all the comments and speculation, everything we ever said about them. yeah it's been online so technically it is going to last, but it was all written in such momentary fashion. the nature of online conversation is how it's always moving onto the next thing; we rattle off our reactions and theories as soon as they come to mind and then it's gone. but for them, for better and for worse, our comments rattled off in 'pen' became their tattoos. the retraumatization caused by speculation became imprinted on dan, the straightjacket of an audience's expectations of who you are and who you should be really burrowed its way into both of them, but then so did the understanding that we loved them and that they'd helped so many of us and that being queer was something to celebrate. that became a tattoo too!

And then everything that they have said and done over the years that they probably didn’t think much of; just quick jots, how they felt in any given moment. sketching out and then posting a self-contained video before just moving on to the next. rattling off a formspring reply, making an instagram caption, writing an early days dailybooth description, talking about your stupid sims.... we took all that language and that storytelling that they'd written 'in pen' and we made it permanent. we archived it and locked it into our collective memories and said the words again and again; have the courage to exist the most fun i've ever had it was more than just romantic hello from the editing zone fuckiiiiing meteors that was lion babe did you like it you loved it you want to do it more i want to be there so you don't have to be brave etc etc etc

And then obviously there are the meet and greets where people ask them to write something in pen that they will then put on their bodies forever. this fleeting moment of brief interaction is totally loaded with all the expectations and appreciation the fans are bringing to the m&g, and dan and phil speedily write what you ask them to write or draw their little doodle. for them it's one of thousands of similar interactions, but for you it's once in a lifetime. and now that moment and those pen marks are going to be permanently on your body. all they have to do is exist, and we mythologize it and turn the mundanity into something worthy of a lifetime on our bodies.

and yeah, for them that m&g moment was probably totally forgettable on its own, but we know that in aggregate, all the face-to-faces with their fans over the years has meant so much to them. seeing their fans irl has been its own tattoo for them of what matters in their careers.

And of course the cat whiskers. they may have started as markers on skin but now they come from within, and this shit's terminal !!! this thing we were all doing on here that may have always just felt sorta silly has instead become something enduring and lifelong in a way, both for them and for us.

Calling all Gravity Falls fan artists for a charity project benefiting Palestine!

Hello, Hana Hyperfixates here! I’m a YouTuber with videos focusing mainly on Gravity Falls and fandom culture. But I’m also a Palestinian person who has been heartbroken watching the violence unfold in Gaza. So far more than 40,000 people have been killed, and countless more have been injured, starved, displaced and oppressed under the threat of genocide.

I want to do something about it, and if this fandom is what I know it to be, I’m sure others do, too. 

The Gravity Falls fandom has had no shortage of wonderful, generous efforts to extend aid to various charities and to those in need. Through my ten years in this fandom I’ve seen calendars and zines and similar projects be sold, with hundreds of dollars being raised.

So I am happy to announce a new fundraising effort: Mystery Twin Mystery Bags. 

The idea: bring in artists from across the fandom to design pins, stickers, charms, posters and more. These items would be pre-ordered, purchased, randomly assorted into mystery bags and shipped out to fans like you!  Options would exist at differently-priced tiers, for you to buy anything from a handful of random stickers, to a big box of everything, and the funds would all go to a great cause!

After shipping out items, 100% of the profits for this project would be split 50/50 between these two funds for aid and relief in Gaza.

Watermelon Relief: Aid for Displaced Families in Gaza 

The Sameer Project - Tents for Palestine refugees

As the situation in the Gaza is ever-evolving and needs change, we might add other charities onto this roster. We will be transparent if this ever happens. The most important thing is getting the money where it is needed the most.

We need artists and graphic designers with a wide range: Remember, the plan is to make everything from stickers to posters! 

If you would like to be a part of this project, either as an artist, as a manufacturing manager, or as a mod, please apply with this link:

Before you apply, I also want to make something clear: Our ability to extend compassion and aid to Palestinian refugees is not at all at odds with our commitment against antisemitism. We condemn any antisemitic rhetoric in our space, in our replies, in our askbox and (once established) in our Discord, and that rhetoric is not welcome here. 

Our condemnation of the horrific actions of the government of Israel does NOT mean that we can’t protect and stand with our Jewish friends and community members. Likewise, us standing against antisemitism does not mean we can’t extend empathy and funding to the refugees of Palestine. People are dying, to help them is to be human. 

So do your part to help! Apply above to be an organizer (bonus points if you have experience managing a large fandom project), as an artist (bonus points if you’ve made art for a big fandom project before), or as a manufacturing manager (bonus points if you have experience with selling stickers/pins/etc.)! 

And if you can’t apply, please reblog this to give us a boost! Spread the word!

Literally how did we as a culture move on from what dan said about him and phil in BIG. How did we move on from it was MORE than just romantic. How did we move on from for the first time since i was a tiny child i actually felt SAFE. how did we move on from we are REAL best friends, companions through life, like, ACTUAL soulmates.
