Was That A Lore Drop Or Was That Just A Silly Little Animation They Decided To Put In The Stream

I don't know, that post "Have you ever wished to get sick so everyone gives you attention" never failed to baffle me.

Like first, why would you want such a massive dent in your own image? (literally and figuratively)

And secondly; it doesn't even work. Or at least I've never seen it happen. People aren't gonna be nice, they're gonna be annoyed. Calling you a bother, asking you to "get a grip", "stop being dramatic!", "you're ruining everyone's day" and roll their eyes every time they think you don't see them.

And that's the best case scenario! Because in the worst, you're still just gonna be ignored and be sick on top of it.

It was nerve-wrecking; Jess’ body inches away from his, Jess’ gaze following his fingers’ every movement, Jess’ own hands touching Casper’s as he passed the milk. The steam billowed around them and Casper wished he could get lost in it with Jess, allowing the rest of the world to turn to fog. Did anything else matter?

The teabag bled into the water, the same colour as Jess’ eyes, and all Casper could think was that it was the colour of love. Not red, which was the colour of blood and his parents’ voices, but brown. Brown, who symbolised the home, who was the colour of the Earth that fed them, carried them in life, cradled them in death. Brown, the colour of the wood beneath their feet, supporting them in their little kitchen, far from the rest of the world. Brown, the colour of Jess’ skin, soft and beautiful and oh so kissable.

Casper thought he might lose his mind.

babe, is everything okay? you’ve been replaying that one scene of shiv taking a sip of champagne at the end of the episode to try and tell whether she actually drinks any or if she’s just feigning for the last hour

ford didn't think it was worth the risk to bring himself back, he was furious with stanley for doing so. but when bill threatened the kids? he almost made a deal. he was willing to end the rest of the world if it kept *his* family safe. so i think ultimately it depends. i think ford would hesitate, but he would be extremely conflicted about whatever answer he chose.

to ford, stanley knocked him into the portal carelessly, and clearly stanley blames himself, even if he doesn't think it's his fault. if stanley fell? it would be on ford. his lack of safety features. his refusal to destroy his own work. his insistence on bringing stanley to gravity falls in the first place. coupled with the guilt ford seems to show when he doesn't stick up to stanley in the back story ep, i think ford would blame himself for stanley's fate.

the question is simply "is all that enough to justify risking it all." Mabel and Stanley choose with their hearts when it comes down to it. Ford and Dipper are far more likely to rationalize and compartmentalize. Ultimately, I think Ford would try and find Stan, but he would prioritize trying to find a way to bring him back safely. this goes extra for when Ford eventually has the kids with him. i also think he's more likely to tell the kids what happened (since dipper is research minded and ford's not faking his identity) meaning i could see the kids being the one to pull the switch to bring stanley back, not ford.

was chatting with my brother about gravity falls (again) and i said something like “man, can you believe stan waited and worked for 30 years just for the chance to try and bring his brother back?” to which my brother responded, “yeah, it’s nuts when you think about it. i wonder if stan got trapped in the multiverse instead, if ford would do the same.” HELLO???

What is this feeling

I know of some mental nonsense that getting diagnosed/be aware of it can make it worse. But this can't possibly apply to rheumatic diseases, now can it?!

There's this weird take I've seen floating around on TikTok that Bill doesn't actually care about his family/dimension or Stanford at all; that we're supposed to take everything in TBOB as non-canon basically because he's lying to garner sympathy from reader to make a deal with them. I'm all for having your own interpretations of media, but I just don't think this idea that Bill is a completely heartless unfeeling creature is supported by canon at all. In fact, it kind of feels like the opposite of the point of the book.

Like, yeah, most things Bill says should be taken with a grain of salt because he lies a lot, but he's not actually a very good liar? It's usually pretty easy to clock when he's full of it. But okay, even if we assume every word Bill says while trying to recruit the reader is a lie, there are three major things that this doesn't account for.

Bill is not the only source in the book. The lost Journal 3 pages were written by Stanford, we only know about the interdimensional Taco Bell incident because of an included police transcript, etc.

Even once he's lost any chance of making a deal with the reader to escape, Bill is having a complete breakdown and mentions all the people he so totally doesn't miss for real you guys. Why bother with reverse psychology double-lying for sympathy once his shot at getting the reader on his side is already gone?

Trying to garner the reader's sympathy makes sense to a certain extent, but why go out of his way to make himself look pathetic? Does revealing that he got drunk and cried over his ex in a fast-food drive-through really help his cause if that cause is to convince the reader he's still a powerful being capable of starting the apocalypse again so they can rule with him?

And that's all without even mentioning that, as previously stated, I think the entire point of the book is missed if we're interpreting Bill as having no genuine feelings or attachments. The book ends with Stanford healing from his past by being open about what he went through with his family and accepting their help, while Bill insists he doesn't need anyone and refuses to heal, actively making himself worse in the process. The clear theme imo is that accepting your past and accepting help from people who love you is essential to healing, while denying those things just makes everything worse. If Bill doesn't actually care about his family, his dimension, Stanford, or anything/anyone else, he has no trauma to heal from or regrets to learn from that he's refusing to accept and deal with, and the entire meaning of the book is made moot.
