Why am I spending so much time staring at the show's backgrounds to talk about doors? Listen. Don't worry about it.

Rambling on about Stan's control over his mindscape made me curious so I skimmed over some episodes to check out a certain detail...

You can see that the door Stan conjured up during his deal with Bill has a diamond window and to me, there's only one door in the Shack comes to mind.

And that makes sense! During the deal with Bill, Stan recreated the living room where he feels most at home and the most himself, and the porch door is the entrance to the home part of the Shack where he doesn't have to put up the Mr Mystery front

But the thing is; the handle isn't quite right and its consistently the same throughout the series, except...

When Stan first arrived in Gravity Falls and reunited with Ford.

Overall, the diamond door appears pretty prominently in Stan's mindscape:

It acts as entrance to the main section of his mindscape

It's the Dipper memory door, where Memory!Stan has his own flashbacks (with the doors in the hall opening up by themselves as Stan talks about each memory) and was able interact with Dipper to explain how the mindscape works

And it's his Hope door (aka where he was still hoping that he could save Ford)

(Of course not all of the diamond doors were important. Unless you think him being stuck in stocks all afternoon counts-- wait whaddya mean those things are actually called pillories??? and stocks are for ankles?????)

But the thing is, the porch door is made out of one entire piece and is noticeably missing that wood panel on the bottom of the Deal door... but that did remind me of something else--

The Shack door that has this panel detail is the one to the twins' room. And I doubt this is too far of a leap because this door is also made of planks and its edges seem kinda ramshackle too.

Another detail I noticed is that the Deal door seems to be greyscale on the outside but colored on the inside to match the interior. (I'm saying "seems" cos it's kinda inconsistent in the actual scene but whatever-- sometimes it's colored, sometimes it ain't!)

What I'm getting at is I think the only door in Stan's mindscape we saw before that had color inside was the Dipper memory one. (Personally, I think it's the unique case of the memory door being in the same position as where the porch door actually is, so it ends up acting as both- if that makes sense? One side has a handle, the other a door knob). But behind both of these doors, we get a pretty confident mindscape!Stan

Anyway my point is that the Deal door is a fusion of the porch door that represents both the Shack being his home and his reunion with Ford, and of the attic door representing the twins--

...or maybe a door is just a door! Who knows!

Another tidbit is his Dipper memories door being represented by a pine tree when we know they knew each other for a few days before Dipper got that hat (something something, this episode firmly establishing Dipper's zodiac symbol with Bill nicknaming him that even though the crew didn't have plans for the Zodiac at this point)

but I'm honestly surprised that the door for Ford's room wasn't used in Dreamscaperers cos look at it--

It's just so fancy!

Of course there's the elephant in the living room of "...But what about the border around the diamond window that's unique to the deal door? That sticks out a lot!" To which i say: i dunno lol

You know what I'd love to see? More TGAA content that explores the character dynamics of everyone post-canon. Everything that happened in the last 3 cases of Resolve would fundamentally change most of the dynamics, and canonically they do but it's not explored in depth because the game ends before it CAN be explored.

Ryunosuke, prior to 2-4/2-5, saw Kazuma as a picture of professionalism in the courtroom. Seeing that break down in real time would heavily affect his view of Kazuma. I don't think it'd be in a negative way necessarily, but I do think it's something that'd be interesting to explore.

Barok's entire worldview was flipped on its head with the revelation that Klint was the Professor and Genshin killed him in a duel that Klint didn't even think he deserved. That'd completely change his dynamic with Kazuma and Ryunosuke.

I'd be surprised if Ryunosuke and Susato don't have lasting issues in regards to trusting Sholmes. He lied about their close friend's death. Yes, he proved his trustworthiness afterwards and explained why he lied about Kazuma’s death, but personally I'd still have issues fully trusting him and I'd be surprised if they don't.

For a more positive one, Iris acknowledges Ryunosuke and Susato as older siblings now, and they seem to hold a similar sentiment, viewing Iris as a younger sister (and I think they have since they met her honestly). Give me ALL the sibling shenanigans lol

Another more positive one, Iris acknowledges Sholmes as her dad and he's so happy about it that he cries. He says that she's the best thing that happened to him. I genuinely think the father daughter shenanigans between them would increase a LOT once Iris acknowledges Sholmes as her dad.

GINA. Gina was BEGGING Ryunosuke to disprove Gregson being one of the people involved in the Reaper conspiracy during court. She didn't want to believe her mentor was part of it. That would make her feelings about him complicated, then her feelings would get even MORE complicated when she finds out she was the reason he didn't want any part of it anymore. I also think Ryunosuke not disproving Gregson being involved in the Reaper conspiracy would affect Gina's dynamic with him.

Iris and Barok. If you assume Iris knows her dad is Klint, you have so much potential for the most surprisingly heartfelt conversation Barok has ever had, as well as him potentially trying to be more present in Iris’s life now that he knows she's his niece (whether she knows that or not).

It's another thing that makes The Great Ace Attorney so much fun to think about in regards to post-canon stuff compared to the other Ace Attorney games. These characters have been so deeply affected by everything that happens in the last 3 cases of Resolve that their dynamics at the end of the game and their dynamics in Adventures are almost completely different and probably complicated (especially Barok's views and dynamics with Ryunosuke and Kazuma, and Kazuma’s views and dynamic with Barok). Additionally, it, to a certain degree, has an open ending. We don't know if Sholmes ever made it to Japan or if Ryunosuke ever made it back to England, only that they made plans for it.

Anyway, I will never get enough of post-canon TGAA content that explores how character dynamics changed as a result of the last 3 cases of Resolve.

Various recent pictures of things

[emblazons]

every time I read something where someone tries to explain why Mike and El deserve to be endgame I end up less concerned about the person’s love of the ship and more concerned about 1) the persons' ability to interpret basic themes and images in media and 2) the dynamic they have or expect from/with a partner in real life

2022 art summary!!! Very boringly designed bc im Lazy lol (i did it based off when i made the art, so some of them dont match when i posted it um. Just ignore that)

And then just for fun, a lil comparison to the past 4 years

This year ive been feeling meh about my art and that im not improving as quickly as i want to, but seeing my art slowly changing over only 4 years is definitely helping with that! And apparently i drew a champion iris at least once evey year which is neat (rosa too but she got cropped out of 2021)

And also, heres 4 years worth of yellow bday art. i plan to keep this trend going until i forget

[punk-rockrz]

wiiiiiish there was some kinda trigger tags for ocd stuff right abt now

[butchshepherd]

instagram is wacky i just saw someone comment that banning ear cropping would just lead to ppl importing dogs instead, or doing it "in their kitchen with scissors and baking soda".. i dont think everyone is as out of their minds as you are dear social media user. also as if several countries didnt already make that change years, if not decades ago in a lot of cases. its literally fine.
