For the twins in time AU, I genuinely wonder what kind of people the young twins grow up into because of Stan’s/Ford’s influence. Especially if it takes years for the portal to get fixed.
(Sorry if it seems like I already sent this question, I don’t know if it got sent the first time I asked)
I haven’t fully fleshed out how Ford grows up in the past but I do have thoughts on Stan presently
#he’s still his goofy brash self as well#but I do think he gets an outlet for all that through monster hunting and trips and stuff#he does get comfortable here though…#I’m thinking we have something play out that’s similar to the science fair#where they get close to being able to send him home and he breaks something or maybe even purposely sabotages it…#and I think he sneaks out a lot too#maybe he uses the secret identities in that way like when he’s in town he’ll pretend to be Pinley pinington#and that’s how he develops his scammy/improv skills#FORD ON THE OTHER HAND#I think he might actually be MORE emotionally stunted because Stan tries so hard to protect him#that it goes the other way#they kind of become reliant on each other in a really unhealthy way or maybe Stan sort of steers ford away from his smart stuff#to prevent the future from happening#not maliciously but yk#like I said I haven’t fleshed his story out as fully yet so I will get back to you#but there are some interesting possibilities#my art#ask#gravity falls#twins in time au#Stan pines#Stanley pines

ok but can we talk how in Legendary, Antinous asked a question. he’s being as rude as possible but “when’s your tramp of a mother going to chose a new husband” is a question. a question that Telemachus does not want to answer. and yeah, the immediate follow up of “why don’t you open her room so we can have fun with her” makes it seem rhetorical, but rhetorical or not, it’s definitely a question. and I’ve always wondered why Telemachus is offended by ‘tramp’ when the ‘why don’t you open her room’ thing is a million times worse.
But what if Telemachus wasn’t offended that Antinous called Penelope a tramp? The suitors have probably been saying stuff like that for ten years, he’s used to it. What if, more than anything else, Telemachus wanted to make them forget about the question they asked? What if he was just trying to distract them?
#“And it’s not much longer WE can stall” WE!!!!! WE!!!!! HE IS HELPING PENELOPE STALL!!!! HE IS DOING THE STALLING!!!#more evidence for my ’Telemachus is just as smart as his parents’ theory#also the ‘I got into a fight and i didn't die :D’ line actually supports this. he thought he was going to get beaten up.#he thought he was going to be pathetic. he thought he’d be lucky to leave the situation without a concussion#he knew he didn’t have a chance. He did it anyways. he had to have a reason#i do NOT think that reason was “I wish I was more like my father.��� evidence? “and I would fight them all if I was half as strong as you”#he’s not as strong as his father!! he knows that!!! he can’t fight!!! if he could he would fight them!!#he knows there’s no point!!! he’s doing it anyway!!! he’s using the Ithacan Royal Family special: deception✨✨#*grabs you by the shoulders* do you understand? do you understand that Telemachus is an active part of his mother’s deception?#that he wants Ody home as much as everyone else? that he’ll keep stalling for his mother even if his father’s dead??#do you understand? do you?????#little wolf#epic telemachus#the wisdom saga#the wisdom saga spoilers#epic the wisdom saga spoilers#nuclear war speaks

no matter what taemin is taemin and don’t you FORGET IT
#I LOVED IT SOOOOOO MUCHHHH i cant even explain it#never mind that the grungy start and the filthy fawking guitar combined w INCOMINGGGGGGG pavlov conditions me into my eyes rolling back in#pleasure. it’s also the way it’s so gorgeously experimental and new and yet still SO taemin#it’s literally my FAVORITE thing about him like no one else is doing this and it’s soooo so exciting to me#also i’ve only had a little bit of time to myself so i planned to listen to like 3 songs and ended up listening to sexy in the air thrice#(i just can’t get ENOUGH we are SO fucking BACK) but how much do you wanna bet the rest of the album is mostly easily digestible#easy to listen songs that will automatically be crowd pleasers#like at the end of sexy in the air mv it’s like horizon starts and i was thinking like this is SO smart#do sita (undeniably taeministic and absolutely excellent and will no doubt be revered in a few years just like move/want and any other#song that wasn’t universally liked at release) and follow it up with a double title of a massively likeable song? SO good i hope that’s#what he does but i reaaaaaally really am so delighted i have another weird dark sexy grungy (!!!!!) absolute MONSTER of a song to listen#the SHIT out of auhhhh i love him BAD#i have SO many more thoughts on the DANCEEEEEEE too and the song itself but they’ll wait until im back home

sometimes looking at like Self Help Strategies lists for the symptoms I'm having is always just like:
thing that I already do
thing I have tried 10 times
thing I already do
thing that I don't have the money to do
thing I already do
thing I've been doing since I was 10yrs old to no avail
thing that is impossible given my situation
thing that doesn't apply to me
thing that I already do
thing I have already tried
hrmm, oh wait, maybe finally- OH, yeah.. okay. thing that I already do but it was just phrased slightly differently
thing I have already done
#I think maybe productivity tips help less if the reason you're unproductive is partially like.. physcial health and other extenral things#out of your control. rather than just like having trouble paying attention or spending too much time on tiktok or whatever#all the strategic to do lists in the world are not going to somehow prevent me from waking up with a debilitating migraine or whatever#or having external stressors or lacking resources and connections or other Productivity Essentials etc.#especially many tips involve stuff like 'cut off from social media' since thats the modern day time waster for so many poeple#and it's like.. lol.. i can hardly even maintain a blog even thuogh i actively WANT TO DO SO. 'shut off your smart phone!' already#done babey i fucking hate smart phones i shall never use an app unless i am forced to. 'delete tiktok' yep. already covered. tiktok and#all of those thinsg are my enemies. 'save money by cancelling some of your services' cool. already ahead of you.#who the fuck is out here paying for like 10 different subscription services. pirated videos uploaded to google drive and youtube to mp3#my beloved. etc. etc. and so on. 'socialize less' .........LOL.. if only you knew.. mr.writer of the article. i can barely muster#talking to friends more than once a month and even less if I'm actively sick (often occurence) etc. etc. ... hewoo#I think maybe instead of generic productivity tips I need more like.. how to refocus and be productive anyway even if you have a headache#or are nauseous or etc. Not that those are always things to ignore. and of course you should let your body rest and etc. But plenty of peop#e have mild physical symptoms and just work through them. Ithink something about the way my body/mind is SOO hyper attuned to all#sensory information just makes it like... constantly 'GRR well I cant focus on WRITING right now because my lef#t ear feels weird and my socks are too itchy and my back has a strange pressure and I'm vaguely warm and my eye feels some ssort of#way it doesnt normally feel and I'm hyperaware of my breathing and also nauseous for no reason' and like half of those things I#think '''normal''' people wouldnt even notice or at least would be able to just live through. but for me it's like.. nealry impossible to i#gnore and soooo distracting always. like 'wahh.. nooo we can't draw or get anything done.. my legs feel slightly heavy or something!!'#like............. ok......... who cares. thats not even a PAIN sensation it's just something weird. but it's just like.. NO. constant#mental alerts about the 'heaviness' of your legs be upon ye. Though Imean like.. yes.. 70% of the time I am in genuine pain#or having some sort of actual ailment with trackable physical symptoms. but sometimes it's just like... we could totally be working right#now and ignoring this silly thing but my brain is fixated on it for no reason uncontrollably. etc. etc. I guess it's the same way that like#most people can go to a grocery store without the whole experience being so overwhelming and so much stuff going on at once#that they have to rest afterwards but like.. in my own HOME doing NOTHING i feel like I should be able to not get overwhelmed lol. ANYWAY#Rolling my bastard little rock up a dumbass hill and so on and so forth

Been thinking about Marshall and Lime, and im not sure if perhaps you havent already mentioned it:
Does being a white or black canvas doesnt make them part of a magic community by default/at birth?? (Putting aside the special force smth of m34, and any witches and guilds and etc.)
thats a good question!!! its a bit of a gray area (ba dum ts 🥁), in my head i always considered "being a member of the magic community" as having something that makes you like. not a normal human. like having some kind of magic or being a spirit/monster/cryptid/etc!!
for black and white canvases, theres nothing inherently special about them besides the level of their magic resistance..,,everyone has some level of resistance, they are just the most extreme levels, but i dont think having it is considered any kind of special magic power or sets you too far apart from other humans!!
for a black canvas its being a part of a guild/the m-34th is what makes you part of the magic community!! the m-34th has nothing inherently magic but since they involve themselves so much in police-ing the magic community they are by and large considered a part of it
for a white canvas its actually incredibly hard to get involved with the magic community i feel... mostly for this reason: a lot of the community hides behind some kind of masking spell-- witches use the mob spell, the merchant uses...something, sulluvan only appears to those who he wants to, but all of it has its roots in "using magic to conceal yourself from the world," and the less resistance you have the less you're able to break from that!! essentially, a white canvas is the most magic-gullible type LOL!! contrast this to a black canvas where you couldnt use a masking spell around them if you tried your best, theyd see right through it
im actually not sure how marshall even ends up being part of the m-34th and gets involved anyway...his pipeline into the magic community must have been someone directly pulling him in and getting him straight to the m-34th because theres no way he couldve gotten in organically the way lime did, he would just be going about his merry way...
#but anyway!!! i never considered them organically a part of the magic community!!#good question though!!!#white canvases are so much more rare than black canvases#just because they either sponge up the illusion magic and dont question shit#or if they get involved they tend to die easy LOL#marshall operates on pure determination and probably spite#in a beta idea marshall has an older brother in the higher ranks of the m-34th and hes determined to be better than him no matter what#which is how he gets involved in the first place#they have a bad relationship#the kind of thing where its like (youll never be a part of this organization as a white canvas just go home and give up)#so he goes to great lengths to prove him wrong#finds a better big brother relationship with lime <3333#marshall must also be crazy smart to figure out ways to 1) get himself into the m-34th and 2) pass all their training and exams#while openly admitting he is a white canvas#and doing it faster than lime#while secretly managing to secure potions and using them without anyone finding out

"chucky did one with the cardinals not too long ago did you reach out to him any advice?" "i didnt... yeah just going for it we'll see what happens 😃!" (proceeds to be consumed by the spirit that haunts loan depot and airmails the ball)
"Have you thrown a first pitch before? And just your nervous level for tonight?" "I have never thrown a first pitch... a little bit of nerves! You always wanna throw a strike but I think I'll be alright!" "Did you play baseball growing up at all?" "Just a little bit, just when I was younger. And then started to kind-of get into hockey a little bit more and—so just when I was, you know, up until I was 7 or 8, I think?"
Fox Sports 940 | 9.6.24
wonderful form this man did not want to get chirped for not reaching the plate he put his whole arm into that 😭😭😭😭
philedelphia phillies @ miami marlins | 9.6.24 (x)(x)(x)
also just to note that erods wearing a 10th ani florida marlins hat as he dons the black alts which goes so hard man knows BALL
#evan rodrigues#florida panthers#happy maffhew first pitch card mention#i love jameson going SO CHUCKY and erods like you know i didnt ask him for advice but that sounds smart man i shouldve#and its the way history repeats itself (no warmup = bad first pitch)#i love how maffhew made sure it didnt happen again and his 5 pitch warmup is still just as decent as erod not doing any warmups at all#woe man with a baseball background you will not outclass erods goofy attempt#“proceeds to be consumed by the spirit that haunts loan depot and airmails the ball” how can i succinctly summarise how cursed that place#and the long years i have suffered seeing both home and visiting teams committing the worst throws in history#something something if altitude affected the pads giants mexico city game im sure we can argue about the effects of being at sea lvl#anyways happy erod wearing a 10th ani fish hat oh i love when athletes refuse to acknowledge the miami rebrand#and where the merch of the team whos won us 2 ws in the goofiest possible ways#he. knows. ball.#i was pissy at the fish about game 2 in the phils series so i wouldve posted this earlier but i did have to brood about the run differentia#and injury news#anyways fish won today sooooooo

it is actually so unfair how being quiet is treated as a character flaw that needs fixing in every area of life
#every single school parents evening and uni review session and work reviee meeting the feedback has been#oh yeah i'm smart and hardworking and everything is great but i'm too quiet and need to talk more#like my boss even said she knows it's not actually necessary for a writer#like exactly! i know that i'm quiet but that's why i'm not trying to have a career in sales or something#literally i sit at home at my computer and read and write stuff and my minimal communication with others is written#why do i need to be loud!!!#i've had the same feedback for 20 years at this point it's like can we not just accept that some people are just quiet and not try to fix it#talking

I have so many thoughts about jesse freaking out and instantly going to his parents' house but I cannot put them into coherent words
#finally got to watch ep 4 lets gooooooo#but yeah no hes like 24 and he went home to his parents after a bad trip like nothing happened between them#and its just like wow you really have no support system do you? you get scared and go home like a little kid because who else do you have?#your friends who thought it was stupid you didnt wanna do meth because it was makinh you paranoid#your chemistry teacher who never wants to see you again?#he freaked out and went home and slept in his childhood bedroom and its just like god hes still practically a kid#and he didnt like ask for help or anything he just went there and stayed there until they kicked him out again for having weed like fuck ma#also the fact that his little brother is a super smart overachiever like wow that family dynamic i hope we get to see more of that#🧪💎

went to my ophthalmologist today for an annual exam and to get my reading glasses done (THEY'LL BE HERE BY THE END OF THE WEEEEEEK) and i have never done this well, i literally read everything up to the last row perfectly (the last one i'd have to guess to get it right so i didn't read it). and my doctor was so happy to hear about my med school experience because she's been treating me since i had my surgery as a kid and it all warmed my heart so much :")
#jo in the tardis*#i always forget that what i did is pretty great and it is especially flattering to be reminded of it by someone in the same field#she said it was smart to get glasses too because even though my particular condition is best managed by contacts#i still have a lot of reading to do on a daily basis so it's best to have something to use when i get home#which was exactly my reasoning. i do a lot of reading outside of school too so it's for the best#AND I LOOK LIKE LITTLE IRL HOUSE WITH THEM DHJSJFKSKD#i'd reblog that one selfie i posted when i bought them but i deleted all my sort of face reveals

everyday i think so hard about the fact that magnolia's apart of the silent generation
#does anyone else think like this. Hello#going off the home; the amazon boxes imply it needs to be at some point PAST 1997#which is when amazon went public#and going off silver thread being in 2024#and mint being an adult#that mean symbiosis would have NEEDED to take place between 1997 and late 2000s#> since spicaze confirmed he ages faster. meaning he's likely not EXCESSIVELY old; considering hes just cursed to look old. while not#technically being THAT age#so until we get official age confirmation for him. in silver thread#i will be thinking SO hard about this#-> she is cursed to be either silent gen. or a boomer#which would also explain how her and dove were employed;; since during. most wars. women were actually. allowed to do work#out of the necessity#and given the fact magnolia's obviously smart;; it'd make sense she'd be working consistently as mfs probably went “woah. she's smart”#> same with dove. too !!!#magnolia#dove#symbiosis

sometimes it think of like doing adult things like get a credit card to slowly work up a credit score that would maybe be beneficial and then i look at any guide on how credit works and every basic info and i'm like. i would rather just die instead
#luci is lollygagging#like I know how to use one kinda (only spend what you're able to pay off within the time frame yk basic shit) but#also i hate the idea of it bc it scares me and i cant do math#and im not very smart so like idk how anything works in the world no matter how many times i get explained how it work#like what if i do something wrong#and “what's the point”#only reason to think of it is like moving out maybe but frankly#i do not think i'll ever move out we are trapped in this terrible house and we#can never afford to even apply for an apartment (which we cant do) so . grr#dream like is . small trailer home. i dont even want fancy house i just want somewhere that's mine#but if u dont have credit ur basically screwed#mixed w/ that and disability and the housing market it's impossible#enough rambling JIOSKD i hate the world

#welcome home#welcome home wally#wally darling#apples#howdy pillar#wally thinks this is a game#lets be honest he total would tho#Do you know how long it took to colour this stupid thing?#I mean- yeah the effect is cool#but the stuff layers like coloured pencil while simultaneously taking DOUBLE the time#cuz the nibs on those pens are TINY#And don't even get me started on the limited colour pallet#do you know how long it took me to find a good yellow ballpoint?#and the yellow isnt even that vibrant#the only reason I even use the stupid things is cuz I can put the carts in multipens#If youre smart you can find one with 10 colours in one#do you have any idea how convenient this is for on the go doodles?#enough that I put up with very very tiny nibs#anyways- if you made it this far- kudos I guess#Thanks for listening to my rant#Make sure to stay hydrated and all that#Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

i think what's really getting me about kozma claiming to have blown up the moon and also claiming to "be" the breach and basically equating "breach collaborators" and "my allies" in the same speech is that. the breach operative we've known since season one, the person who "is" the breach as far the story's concerned, is saskia. and midst is saskia's HOME! she built the black candle with her own two hands (metaphorically, at the very least), she LOVES it there and she loves those people :( and if we take kozma's story at face value, she just threw the "centerpoint" (according to imelda) of her own operation entirely under the bus and endangered the lives not only of innocent people but also of a bunch of her own operatives without their knowledge just to destabilize the trust and frankly that makes me kind of hope she IS telling the truth simply because that's the kind of betrayal i find absolutely delicious,
#midst spoilers#midst#midst podcast#i DO think she's probably bluffing about all or most of it. i bet she was collaborating with the breach but not as closely or with as much#authority as she just claimed and i no longer think she blew up the moon#but MAN those claims leave a nasty taste in my mouth for the exact reasons outlined above.#and it certainly COULD make sense! it's a smart move to encourage/fund/organize an insurrectionary movement within your political rival!#and easy to sacrifice them--especially when it's not even all of them and you've got bigger plans now--to make an even bolder move!#she's a collector! she can move her pieces around the board!#and the scheming of it all only makes her threats have more credibility to the upper trustees she's threatening#except of course that hieronymous is sitting right there having the full perspective & caring about the breach and about saskia specificall#just one more crazy layer to what must have been going through his head during that dinner#frankly. WEEPE has the full perspective too although whether he cares about any of it remains to be seen#i do think kozma is probably going to get killed by the trust/weepe pretty quickly here. but i would LIKE for saskia to get to confront her#if kozma IS telling the truth#it's nuts even WITHOUT the breach component considering she OWNED midst until literally last week. ma'am those were YOUR people.#like to be very clear blowing up that moon was a callous and fucked up thing to do regardless of personal connection. whoever did it.#but the closer the relationship gets the crazier it feels as a thing to do or to claim to have done#i just think saskia deserves revenge or justice on SOMEONE for her home being used as a piece in this stupid game...

the love of my entire life
#valtteri filppula#no one cares but i'm still gonna rant about this because you don't understanddddd#he's objectively one of the most succesful finnish hockey players. no not just in my biased opinion he really is!!#no other finn has won the triple gold (the stanley cup + olympic gold + world championships gold)#in the latter two he was also the captain of the team 😭#1000+ games played in the NHL#he's also won the swiss league and the CHL#he could have retired. moved to florida and bathe in his money#but what does he do? comes back to play in his home team 19 years after he left#(if we don't count the few games he played here in the NHL lock-out season 2012-13 before he got injured)#in his home team that currently does not even play in the top division??#as one of the owners of the team?? practically for FREE?!#because he wants to give back to his team and help them back to the top division 😭#i mean. what kinda person does that?? 😭😭😭😭😭#i'm bawling at how he walked in the locker room for the first time and introduced himself to everyone (with his nickname!!)#as if all them didn't know exactly who he was. come on he's a living legend??#he said he wants to be treated like everyone else in the team. they're just some boys#and he's won pretty much everything you can win in this sport#look how stark the locker room is in comparison to what he got used to in the fucking NHL and the swiss league 😭#at 40 years of age he's gonna be sitting in the same bus with these youngsters through the darkest of finland's winter#again i cannot emphasize enough that he could have retired to e.g. florida where he used to play for many years#(and where i think his wife is from? but i'm not sure so don't quote me on that)#he's so humble so smart so polite so friendly and on top of that he is handsome as fuck 😭😭😭😭😭😭#i've never had the chance to meet him but this season i really hope i can. although i'll probably cry loads and make an idiot out of myself#i was bawling my eyes off just watching him skate on the ice in his first match this season. it all felt so surreal. he's home again 😭#i've loved him for a thousand years (or just 20. but it feels like thousand years)#i'll love him for a thousand more 💙
