#Idk how they'd get along

[wherevenusholdssomeofficespace]

I know the Phineas and Ferb Gravity Falls crossover is sorta popular right now, which fair. It's a lot of fun. BUT. We know that the kids are in elementary school (John P. Trystate), and that Dipper and Mabel are 13, so 7th or 8th graders. So Middle schoolers. Not the same age group.

But we DO know the middle school that John. P Trystate feeds into. Jefferson County. AND we know people who attend that middle school who just so happen to be friends with the Backyard Gang.

What I'm SAYING is that Dipper and Mabel would be classmates with Milo and his friends.

Dipper would ABSOLUTELY want Melissa's notes on Murphy's Law and would be all in on Chad and Mort's investigations into if Mr. Draco is actually a vampire or not. Mabel would probably be too invested in Melissa and Zack's relationship situation for either of their comfort. And probably Dakota and Cavendish's too. Also Zack was in a Lumberjack themed boy band, I bet his regional popularity extended to Gravity Falls.

My problem is that the HarveyxBrucexKhoa dynamic that I've really created in my head is not actually the three of them but rather Bruharvey and a Khoa who is a jealous and petty mf.

It's 100% Harvey reentering bruce's life in a much more permanent way and Knoa immediately being like 'who tf is this?? Bruce, you can do so much better. also. you dont get to leave this friendship for some stupid romance.' and thus he needs to prove that 1) there are people out there (khoa) who can be much better romantic and sexual partners than just some guy and 2) Khoa is actually the only life partner you can have. it's not up for discussion.

So you have

Harvey, who, after lots of therapy and a few decades of ups and downs with bruce, is confident that bruce will never leave him. And he's just giving khoa the side eye cuz this random guy that Bruce met in europe years ago is continuously and rudely interrupting their dramatic, bittersweet and romantic reunion that they've been building up to for DECADES

Khoa, who refuses to admit that he wants a qpr with bruce and is in a one-sided pissing contest with harvey

and bruce, who is happy to have both Harvey and Khoa back in his life but is a little weirded out because while yes, he and khoa did have a good fuck every once in a while, Khoa is getting a bit intense and Bruce is like 99.99% sure that their relationship wasn't like that but now that .01% of doubt is hitting him in the face real hard

it's interesting that Hien thought she'd end up in a position that (lover status aside) was for all intents and purposes the one that Maizuru currently holds, as the woman with the most sway in the Nakamoto household (above Toshitsugu's actual wife, which is, a whole other topic).

Hien doesn't really give off the feeling that she looks up to Maizuru in a particular way, but there's definitely some shared characteristics between them, right? They're wilful, efficient, perfectionists, and they're the two characters we see explicitly tell Izutsumi that "she should be thankful she's with the Nakamoto"

Makes sense they'd think that. I've commented here and there before that I really doubt the Nakamoto household is in anyway noble or aristocratic, since they're doing the things actual noble families can't do in the open (hence the shadiness), they're just connected to power because of the nature of their activities. And to me, that Hien would openly expect a marriage proposal from Toshiro confirms that. They're not so far-off in social standing that she could jump up to his position.

What I'm getting at is, Maizuru and Hien are both in a societal position that allows them to garner some respect (backed-up by their reputation as professionals) and power. It makes sense they'd regard the current system favorably.

It's just interesting to me, I guess. Hien probably looks at Maizuru's situation like, yeah, it sucks she isn't the actual Lady of the Household, but it's not that bad, we all follow her lead as if she were. She probably looks at her, looks at herself, and thinks yeah, I've got what it takes.

Which is a very different way to how Toshiro seems to regard Maizuru's situation.

I wonder what they'd both say, if the topic was ever brought up. Toshiro's obviously disillusioned in his household and in Maizuru (for several reasons but one of them is most likely just, that she's okay being in the position she's in, enabling Toshitsugu), and on top of that at 26yo it seems he had never had any marriage prospects. It probably makes no sense to him that Hien would want to be in a position that's a mix of his biological mother's position and Maizuru's position.

And while it's a very empathetic pov, it also shows a certain blind spot on his part, doesn't it? There just doesn't seem like there are many roads up the societal scale for someone like Hien. When you account for her personality, a marriage of convenience with her childhood friend really would look like an amazing deal.

for other reference: my roadhog ships are much less varied, sorry;; my roadhog ships are roadrat (truly mainly this), roadhog/lifeweaver, vaguely some degree of mercyhog, and vaguely toadhog. But i also imagine roadhog being kinda down for whatever as long as junkrat is there too. (????)

Ppl point out the similarities between Richie Richard and Rick Pratt but what abt the similarities between Richie Richard and Neil Pye. THINK ABT IT... They both do all the cooking and cleaning and they both suck at that.

more asoiaf comparisons, parallels & antiparallels to the first dance of the dragons vs the second & final dance of the dragons (& possibly the sixth blackfyre rebellion): the blacks being daenerys i targaryen's supporters, the golds being aegon vi targaryen's supporters, tommen baratheon being a close equivalent to gaemon palehair & his mother essie & sylvenna sand which may be interpreted as a parallel with queen cersei lannister & taena merryweather of myr, trystane truefyre being a close equivalent to aegon/young griff & perkin being jon connington & the shepherd being the new high septon the high sparrow, dalton greyjoy being euron i greyjoy's ancestor & the latter surpassing him, alyn waters later alyn velaryon resembling aurane waters later aurane velaryon & finishing what their ancestors started. history repeats itself.

Hmmmm...If glamrock foxy really is a daycare attendant, do you think he would have a rivalry with sun and moon or he would be friends with them? (Or maybe frenemies?)

My personal headcanon is he was a peformer in Kids Cove (maybe even a caretaker as well in some form) before the daycare and possibly even the theatre was a thing.

I like to think when Sun and Moon were still theatre performers they would have gotten along quite well with Foxy who may have acted as a sort of mentor for them, showing them the ropes kinda deal since he would have been doing this for quite a while before they were introduced.

I also love the idea he had taught Moon how to play a good villain role for kid shows, him being themed after a pirate and all and maybe encourage Sun to not get stage fright because i'd imagine the poor boy always had anxiety one way or another fhdfjg

Every time my brain comes up with a story idea that doesn't involve me doing some serious mental gymnastics to get it to work I have no motivation to bother.

I didn't realise bbc's rugby union weekly did a whole podcast episode about Owen's 100th cap, it's a very good episode. It's very interesting to me.

Particularly in the reiteration (from Danny Care) that players are surprised that they get along so well with him off the pitch because they've come into the team having only ever played against him and hearing him barking orders at the team.

And Danny Care saying that Owen can't be dropped because of who he is, because of the way he sees the game.

One interesting point was when Danny was talking about how when they go into unit meetings, coaches will often turn to Owen at the end of the meeting and ask him if he agrees with it or if they covered everything and Owen gives them "the nod" or he'll tell them that he disagrees. Danny said he doesn't know of any other player that he's played with that gets that same treatment, the same amount of respect.
