. Source:The Daily Press I don’t want to sound cold here, but if you look at the Vikings four Super Bowl appearances, they were the second best team in every game, so why they would be on a missing rings list from. NFL Films is surprising to me and in really at least two of those games they were clearly the second best team in the Super Bowl. Because only Super Bowl 8 against the Miami Dolphins…

Vikings Coach Bud Grant. I loved those old "Pro" game day programs. Plus they made a really good season review/preview that could be bought at the newsstands.

Imagine if Stan actually died in The Stanchurian Candidate - either because the pile of seeds wasn't close enough for him to land on, or it wasn't enough to break his fall. And Ford, who finally got the house to himself that day, see's the whole thing on TV.

So Ford watches his brother, who he assumes the worst about all of the time and was about to kick out back into homelessness at the end of the summer, literally give his life for Dipper and Mabel. Stan wasn't even unaware of the likelihood of death, he told the kids as much; so there's no way he did this thinking he'd be okay in the end.

Does Ford feel bad? Does he get angry? Does he convince himself that Stan deserved it? Does he go into denial thinking that this is just some long-con Stanley is pulling to make him say 'thank you'?

And a freshly traumatized Dipper has to slap some sense into Ford telling him that this isn't about him. That it's about Grunkle Stan, and he's dead. He's gone.

It was so easy to be angry and bitter towards Stanley before - because he was suffocating, because of the broken project, because of the portal incident-.

But all of those times Stanley was *there*, no matter where he was or what he was doing, he would find a way to survive one way or another. Even on the other side of portal, Ford knew that if he was still alive amongst aliens, demons, and monsters, there'd be no reason Stanley wouldn't also still be alive in their normal dimension.

It's easy to be mad at someone when you know they're there. When you assume they're always going to be there.

It isn't easy when the person is gone.

It's even harder when you realize that your relationship can never be fixed.

It's impossible when it dawns on you that you never even tried to fix it. That you never got to know them again. That you'll never get to know them again. That you had that chance, but you rejected it and now it's too late.

Like would that be messed up or what.

check out my oscar tarot 🔮💫

im really hyped for this project ive planned (i just hope i dont give up before i finish it like i usually do)

[orcelito]

ok, i cant resist the urge to make a post about it after all, especially since it's related to a post i made prior

one of my favorite moments in trimax is By Far this part in chapter 35

[ID: Two pages from Trigun. The first starts with Wolfwood thinking, "Now that I think 'bout it, it may be one of the major differences between our species." That deep rooted dear I felt on the ship…" He thinks of Vash crying blood and, swearing, wonders, "Is he the one who can save humankind? That monster?" Wolfwood is briefly shown in resolution before someone calls, "Hey, Wolfwood!" and he looks up with surprise.

Vash sits with a smile at the edge of a rooftop, backed by the Fifth Moon and its prominent crater. Vash asks with a smile, "Just coming back now? You're a bit of a night owl, huh?" Wolfwood looks taken aback and wary. End ID]

Right Here. Vash is just sitting there, smiling like normal, but he's got the backdrop of the damage he caused on the moon set Perfectly behind him. it's a glaring reminder to Wolfwood of who exactly he's dealing with here, and that TERRIFIES him.

& the fact that Wolfwood still remembers that moment of crying blood as a moment of true fear. because for all the cheer Vash shows in the average moment, Wolfwood just recently saw him nearly lose control Again (at the Dragon's Nest). the second time he witnessed it, & the third time he would know about.

Vash is a walking atomic bomb with multiple charges. even with how cheerful & kind he is, he's shown Multiple Times that he does not have full control. he is decidedly something different, something Hazardous to humans, and Wolfwood knows this very very painfully.

for all that Wolfwood loves Vash, he is also terrified of him. and at this point in the story, that terror is potent enough to nearly eclipse his affection for Vash.

leading to some of the next most iconic pages:

[ID: The next page starts with Wolfwood standing behind the sitting Vash, his expression hard and the moon bright behind him. Vash seems sad and has one eye open. A close-up focuses on Wolfwood looking down.

Wolfwood thinks, "So easy to pull the trigger. So easy to remove half the problem." Another close-up with bright lighting obscures his face but for one eye. Then Vash turns around curiously and asks, "What's up?" Wolfwood sits behind him and says "Nothin'. Come on. Let's go." Vash seems surprised as Wolfwood scolds, "Don't get yerself tangled up in every little skirmish ya see. It'll be pointless if ya get yerself killed before ya meet him." End ID]

the manga frames it like Vash doesn't know Wolfwood was pointing the gun at him, but I think he did know. he's freakishly perceptive over and over again throughout the story. he HAS to be in order to survive like he has. he'd hear the movement of the gun & sense Wolfwood behind him...

he'd know. i really think he knew.

but he doesn't do anything about it. there is zero fear in his face. he turns to look at Wolfwood curiously, a bit confused, but not afraid. he never once thought that Wolfwood would shoot him. there's full faith and trust there in that moment.

Wolfwood pretends that nothing happened, & Vash lets him. they both move on, not talking about it, because they never talk about Anything of substance like this (not until much, Much later).

overall, it's just such a great example of their relationship's development. Wolfwood's fear & Vash's trust that he won't act on it... it's just. Man.

(EDIT: people have made some good points about how Vash's expression when Wolfwood points the gun at him shows that he probably did know and YEAH that's a good point! & probably why I was so certain he knew lol, I just hadn't realized it myself)

Nip this in the bud (part 4)

Man I feel kinda dumb.

I kept trying to make sense of this phrase of the creators:

“There are parts of us that might cost us the things that we really want. There is an implicit choice there, where Evil Morty is giving Rick a decision where you can either stay here and beat the shit out of this guy until he’s dead, which is what you supposedly have always wanted, and while you’re doing that, that’s gonna be the reason why I’m walking away with the power to destroy everything you ever cared about.”

because I thought Rick C-137 was not initially aware that Eyepatch Morty had gotten the weapon plans, and had to be informed of it by Rick Prime who is, of course, untrustworthy.

Plus, you know, Eyepatch Morty stayed behind long enough to confirm to Rick C-137 that he got the weapon plans so really, where is the "choice"? What "decision"? As far as I could tell Eyepatch Morty made all the decisions for him.

Then I realized I was an idiot lol.

The show left us (or at least me) with the impression that Eyepatch Morty was afraid of being wiped out of existence by the Omega Device:

And I'm sure this fear indeed factored in his decision to participate in the Prime hunt, true, but...

...he had suggested from the very beginning that he was interested in the weapon itself:

(...I just forgot about it, heh)

Given that we know and that Rick C-137 knows that Eyepatch Morty was in the habit of stealing memories from Ricks, it becomes extremely obvious that when Eyepatch Morty presented to Rick C-137 Rick Prime on a platter, he had already gotten what he wanted:

(Of course, Rick Prime did not all know all that, so as far as he was concerned he likely did not expect his attempt to turn Rick C-137 against Eyepatch Morty would yield any short-term results so I think my previous assumption that Rick Prime aimed for delayed revenge probably still stands)

But yeah. I now get the "choice" part. Even without Rick Prime's input, Rick C-137 would totally assume that Eyepatch Morty already possessed the weapon plans, and Eyepatch Morty knew Rick C-137 would know he has the weapon plans...

...aaaaand Rick C-137 still prioritized killing Rick Prime over ensuring his family was safe from dying forever (I still think part of it, even a small one, was because he had just fought alongside Eyepatch Morty and because Eyepatch Morty had just saved his life. Or at least I hope so. It would be extremely underhanded of Rick to turn against him after all that).

As for Eyepatch Morty sticking long enough afterwards, making it possible, in theory, to get attacked, since with Rick Prime gone Rick C-137 was now free to follow the next set of priorities?

1. Eyepatch Morty might have been able to guess that Rick C-137's mental state after killing Rick Prime would leave no room for another battle.

2. He might be confident in his ability to escape in a moment's notice with a portal.

3. Aforementioned debt due to Rick C-137 having his life saved by him.

One final thing:

Since he knew that Rick C-137 could make an educated guess that he as of now possessed the weapon plans, his "threat" takes a completely different spin (maybe):

While he is, indeed, confirming that he got the weapon plans (and providing proof of it) I think Rick C-137 did not need that confirmation. I think if he exited that control room to find Eyepatch Morty gone, he would have assumed he got the weapon plans and skedaddled to safety just the same. He'd know his life and his family's lives might once again be at risk in the future and that he might one day be forced to do something about it.

So is it so much that Eyepatch Morty is threatening Rick C-137 to "stay away or else"...

...or is it that he's trying to placate him?

"Don't worry, I won't even build this unless you force me to. So stay away."

He's trying to reassure Rick that he won't kill him out of spite nor his family for the lulz the way Rick Prime did. He's trying to convince Rick to not try to pre-emptively hunt him down.

Plus if my theory that Eyepatch Morty is physically unable to fire the weapon against Ricks himself is correct, his options with the Omega Device are a lot more limited. He might be able to manipulate someone else to fire it in his stead, but that would probably take time to stage. Threatening to fire it is one of the best uses he can get out of the Omega Device, so he does precisely that. In this scenario, placating Rick is also very important because EM won't be able to use the weapon defensively if an angry Rick C-137 teleports at his doorstep. So he has to hit that spot where Rick C-137 is wary of him but not constantly terrified of him, and he goes for exactly that.

Interesting that Rick Prime tried to upset this balancing act and to push Rick C-137 firmly towards the "terrified" option.

(Man even with the strongest weapon in the world Eyepatch Morty still seems scared to me. Or maybe he ain't scared at all because of how successful he is in balancing everything, but I still feel like he's a lot more on the defensive than I initially thought)
