Aaaaa I wanna draw link in different outfits so badddddddd
Link and Link and surprisingly enough, another Link!
I donât think Iâve ever expressed just how much I love the different outfits in this game. Iâm excited to see if totk will expend on that. I just recently purchased the dlc, and somehow one of my favorite objects is the island lobster/windwaker shirt. Whenever I have Link travel on the beach or visit Lurelin village, Iâll spice up his outfit to match the vibe, and I love that.
Also, as you can see I drew scars on his body, but thatâs just my headcanon
#still at work LOL#heâs my little dress up doll#<- someone said that in the reblogs and I LOVE IT#because he rlly is#botw/totk link is a canon dress up doll#but all the others are as well#just in my head#not an art post#self reblogs

3 times Phantom's Guardian was Mentioned + 1 Time He Showed Up
One
Phantomâs introduction to Young Justice wasnât as dramatic as Empressâ or Sloboâs, or even Arrowetteâs first introduction to the cave. No, it wasnât during the Olympics, or on a battlefield, and he didnât come in injured and looking for help.Â
Impulse just brought Phantom in one day and insisted that he should join because heâs their age, interested in justice, and now that Gretaâs human again they need another ghost member. So Phantom stayed, popping in and out for missions but never really sticking around all that long.Â
Today is one of the days that Phantomâs with them on a mission, that being looking around a lab of the Brainâs that had an energy surge recently, despite it being presumably abandoned.Â
Kon got paired up with Phantom to check the rest out first, since they both have better hearing than Anita and Tim, who were both still in the main room working on checking the computers for previous activity.Â
The room is dark except for the light green ball glowing slightly above Phantomâs hand. He waves it around enough for it to reflect off of glass, then throws it up to the ceiling. The light expands enough to illuminate the room.Â
Phantom mumbles about not knowing he could do that. Kon ignores him and moves closer to inspect the glass tubes to the side of several monitors set up.Â
âLooks like cloning equipment,â Phantom says, casually. He drags a finger through the dust gathering on one of the monitors. âDonât think theyâve been activated recently, though, so thatâs good.â
âWhat? You got a problem with clones or something?â Itâs a quick and defensive answer, and Phantom puts his hands up in surrender.Â
âNot in concept.â He shrugs and joins Kon near the tubes. âBut not a lot of people ask before making clones.â
âSo I donât need to sic Superman on you?â Obviously Kon could chew Phantom out himself, but few can do a ânot mad, just disappointedâ face better than Clark.Â
Phantom scrunches his face. âWhy would you need to?âÂ
Kon stops pretending to inspect the tube and stares at Phantom. âYou do know Iâm a clone, right?â The blank look on Phantomâs face tells him that no, he did not. âWell I am. Clone of Superman, though weâre pretty much brothers now.â
âCool,â Phantom says, not a bit less friendly. He hesitates for a second before continuing, âCould I maybe ask you how you got there? Me and my clone have landed on cousins, but that was also, like, given to us by her evil dad. So.â
Phantom trails off. Huh, that makes three members of the team that have been cloned. Not a lot, but itâs weird that itâs happened three times.Â
âYouâre making sure she feels accepted, right?âÂ
âYeah! Well, whenever sheâs around. She,â Phantom waves his hand around, looking for the right word, âSheâs a wanderer. Exploring the world and stuff. But Richard has a room for her at home, and I remind her of that whenever she does stop by.âÂ
âWell, first of all, donât push it so hard,â Kon says. Phantom nods enthusiastically. âAnd second, whoâs Richard?â
Kon doesnât know a lot of Richards, and he doesnât think that Phantom ever mentioned one before. Or even if he remembers his living life.Â
âOh, heâs my, uh, guardian? I guess thatâs the best term. The guy Iâm living with who forces me to go to school sometimes.â Phantom looks away and back to the tubes.Â
Before Kon can ask for more details, Robin and Empress come in with a report of dead computers and wanting to know where theyâre at with the cloning room.
Theyâre unimpressed with their lack of progress.
Two
Wally doesnât really need to come by the Hamilton Lodge that often, not when thatâs Young Justiceâs territory and he doesnât want to get involved in all of That.
But Red Tornado said that the team has a file on a planet thatâs very quickly becoming a league problem, and he figured it might be a good time to try to check in with Bart, anyway. Make sure he hasnât run any cars off cliffs again and all that.Â
So he stops by Manchester to ask Bart about the file, then they both head East to actually find it.Â
When they arrive at the hotel minutes later, Wallyâs surprised to actually find it⊠clean? Thereâs no visible trash or overturned furniture or anything else heâd expect from an abandoned hotel filled with teenagers. Well, maybe not filled, lately. He doesnât think anyoneâs living here currently, with Greta at Eliasâ for the school year and Slobo gone.Â
Still, the room smells slightly of artificial pine scent, and Bart perks up before disappearing and reappearing rapidly, holding a teammate up by his armpits. Said teammate just accepts this, his legs folding into a wispy tail, and head rolling against his shoulders.Â
âThis is Phantom!â Bart holds him up higher. Phantom waves. Wallyâs only heard of him through Maxâs updates, the same way he would hear about Preston or Carol, but with more wariness about the supposed ghost.Â
Actually looking at the pale face and glowing green eyes contrasting against the darker than dark jumpsuit, Wallyâs a little more ready to accept his claim at being undead.Â
âHe stress cleans,â Bart explains, moving to carry Phantom under his arm. Wally bites down the urge to tell him to put him down, but only because Phantom doesnât resist the hold, only moving to get into a more comfortable position. His hands are touching the floor. âSo what happened?âÂ
Bart directs the question downwards, and Phantom heaves a very dramatic sigh. Definitely a teenager. It does raise the question of who exactly this kidâs mentor is. Hopefully he does have one. Maybe heâs the Spectreâs kid?
Phantom phases through the arm holding him only to lay on top of Bartâs hair. âI accidentally called Richard dad. And then fled.âÂ
Bart nods sagely. âClassic. One time I accidentally called Max dad, so I had to start a fire to distract him.â
Phantom sighs again, almost dreamily. âGenius.âÂ
Wally doesnât have time to unpack all of that. Well he does, but heâs not going to, because thereâs really only one Richard that comes to mind that might have the heart to take in a dead kid, even if he doesnât go by his full name.
But surely Dick would have told him, or any other Titan, if he had adopted a kid. Right?
But thereâs still a little shadow of doubt. Maybe Dick wanted it to be a secret, or it was really new or had a rocky start. Phantom doesnât seem to hold himself like a Bat, but itâs not a guarantee Dick would have trained him.Â
âThe lodge looks nice,â Wally offers out loud, which Phantom shrugs at and wraps his tail around Bartâs head to keep secure. âAnyway, Impulse. The file on Myrg?âÂ
âOh yeah!â Again, Bart disappears then reappears a few seconds later with a paper file. They really need to start digitizing more of these things. âThatâs the planet where we played baseball so that they wouldnât destroy Earth!âÂ
âYou what.âÂ
The prospect of Dick following in his dadâs footsteps is forgotten in the face of what the hell Young Justice got up to on Myrg.Â
Three
Tim may be in aâŠPredicament.Â
Itâs not his fault. Really. He knew what he was doing. He couldnât let a civilian fall for the trap. But they were already so close, so he just, kinda, pushed himself into the rope instead.Â
So there Robin is, tied upside down in a warehouse, with the Joker below next to an overly complicated control panel. The clownâs rambling about bombs hidden all over the city that Tim knows Batman is already tracking down with Batgirl.Â
Timâs not really paying attention to the rant because of that, more focused on wiggling enough to get the spare mini-birdarang out of his glove to cut the rope without notifying the Joker.Â
âYikes, bad time?â Asks Phantomâs voice beside him. Based on the source and accounting for the slight echo, heâs floating with his head near Timâs, likely upside down. âWant some help?âÂ
Tim gets the birdarang out and starts sawing at the thick rope. They should be fine anyway, but stalling the Joker for extra time would be helpful. âCan you possess the Joker? Just hold him still.â
âThe correct term is overshadow, but sure.â The voice disappears, and a few seconds later the Joker freezes.Â
His body jerks forward, then backward, and a laugh chokes out of his throat. His hand claws over his mouth at the noise and he hunches over. All movement halts before he rights himself, shaking out his hands and rolling his shoulders. Phantom looks up at Tim and his eyes are glowing.Â
Tim cuts through the rope, kicking and using the momentum to right himself and land on his feet. He brushes past Phantom in Jokerâs body to handle the control panel. He turns off the radio broadcast and dismantles the bomb strapped to the panel.
Threat handled, he turns to Phantom and holds up some handcuffs. âLet me arrest you?â
Phantom obliges, turning the Jokerâs body around and putting his hands behind his back. Tim lets him walk by himself out of the warehouse and moves the handcuffs around a lamppost. The Jokerâs body jerks again, then slumps forward, just as Phantom reappears next to him, scowling down at the unconscious body.Â
âThat felt really slimy. Zero out of ten, would not do again,â Phantom grouches.Â
âWhyâre you in Gotham?â Tim asks. Itâs not like Phantom makes a habit of visiting. The last time he came into the city, he complained about feeling the dead under the streets. Fortunately, that let Tim uncover a few tunnels that Talons travel through. Phantom, however, was unnerved by the Talons and left quickly.Â
âOh, Solomon Grundyâs back in our sewers. Richard said I should probably tell one of you Gotham heroes, since you keep track of those guys.â He shakes out his hands like they were cramped in the Joker.Â
They hadnât seen Grundy in a while. Tim assumed he was currently in a less violent personality. âWhatâs he doing?âÂ
Phantom shrugs. âJust chilling. Mostly underground. I tried to talk to him but he only grunted back at me. He also tried to pick me up, dunno what that was about.â
âMaybe because youâre both dead?â Tim guessed. That would be a surface level connection. Ivy and Woodrue have had more luck working with Grundy than anyone, and Phantom definitely doesnât have the connection to the Green thatâd help with that.Â
Police lights turn around the corner, and Tim shoots a grapple to get to the roof above them. Phantom follows, but disappears as soon as theyâre on the roof. Going back home, probably.Â
Cass drops down from the roof she was listening on. âRichard?â
âNot the same one.â
They both stick around long enough to watch the Joker get put into the cop car.Â
Plus one
A spaceship landed in the forests of New York, and Cassieâs team was the first to respond to it. Technically not respond, but check it out, since there wasnât any alert or anything.Â
Still, Wonder Girl has Empress, Robin, and Superboy on the other side of the ship, watching what looks like the back door, while she, Impulse, and Phantom watch the other door and main window. She has binoculars, but the windows are so tinted she canât quite make anything out.Â
No aliens have come out yet, and she hesitates to have anyone go in, in case whoever inside does turn hostile.Â
Impulse has offered to run through a total of five times already, and itâs a testament to his restraint that he hasnât, and a testament to Cassieâs that she hasnât yelled at him yet. Phantom at least isnât being annoying, but heâs not necessarily helpful, either. Heâs not even watching the spaceship anymore. Now heâs trying to make a flower crown out of dandelions.Â
âDoorâs opening on our side,â Robin says from the comms. âBut no oneâs coming out.âÂ
âAlright, good enough to try to get in,â Cassie decides. She turns to Phantom, whoâs closing off the circle of flowers. Beside him, Impulse has since pulled out a gameboy. âPhantom, go in invisibly through the open door and report back. Try to see what their plans are.âÂ
âOh, sure. One second.â Phantom finishes the crown and tries to put it on Bartâs head. It doesnât quite fit over his mane of hair, but Phantom shrugs and leaves it sitting there anyway before going invisible.Â
âMaybe I should shave my head again,â Bart says as his game character dies.Â
He gets a resounding no in response.Â
Half an hour later they have a very annoyed Green Lantern lecturing them about league jurisdiction and knowing when to call someone else.Â
Apparently, the alien ship was just stopping to complete some maintenance, and did not appreciate any spying on them, and especially did not appreciate who did it. Green Lantern was more than happy to explain that Wonder Girlâs team is not really a part of the Justice League and he can help with their maintenance. They denied his help and left to find a place with less people in it.Â
â-and you!â Green Lantern rounds on Phantom next, but Cassie knows none of them are really listening. Sure, they messed up by freaking out the visiting aliens, and yeah maybe they should have contacted the league about it, but theyâve dealt with stuff worse than this! Itâs not Cassieâs fault she thought that this would have stuck to the formula.Â
âWho even are you?â Green Lantern runs a hand through his black hair, stupid green gauntlets shining in the sunlight. âDo I need to call your mentor?â He frowns. âOr do they know you mess up alien technology by just being around it?âÂ
Phantom scoffs and rolls his eyes. âHow was I supposed to know their tech would go all fuzzy when I came in?âÂ
âYou wouldnât have to know if you just stayed out of the spaceship!âÂ
âHey!â Cassie cuts in. âTechnically that was my call. Itâs not all on Phantom.â
âI still could've been more careful,â Phantom says to her, ignoring Green Lantern as they argue about blame.Â
âCut it out for a second, okay?â Green Lantern puts a hand between them and they stop to glare at him. He pulls the hand back. âLook, can I just talk to one of your adults about this?âÂ
Robin glares. âWe donât need an adult. We have this under control.â
âOnly because Iâm here now.âÂ
âIâll call my mentor,â Phantom says. Kon opens his mouth, most likely to offer to call Superman instead in hopes of a lighter sentence, but Bart covers his mouth, smiling like he knows something Cassie doesnât. Tim and Anita share a look, and donât intervene as Phantom pulls out a phone from his chest.Â
It rings once before itâs picked up. Cassie canât hear the other side of the conversation, but Konâs eyebrows scrunch in confusion. âHey, do you think you can pick me up? Green Lantern wants to talk to you.â Phantom looks Green Lantern up and down then says, âNo, this one doesnât have a cape.â
Phantom says goodbye after rattling off their coordinates, hangs up, and stares at Green Lantern in silence for a few seconds.Â
And then a swirling mass of black seeps into the space next to Phantom. The end of a cane steps out of it, followed by a leg, then the rest of the immaculately dressed man holding the handle of the cane thatâs shaped like a birdâs head.Â
âPhantom,â The man says. His voice drips with condescension in only a way a british accent can, yet Phantom smiles up at him. The shadowy portal behind him disappears. âWhat, exactly, happened?â
âThatâs the fucking Shade,â Anita hisses to Robin, who shrugs noncommittedly at her. Green Lantern seems to recognise him too, taking a step back and clenching his hand that holds his ring.Â
âWell, the team and I were staking out this spaceshipâsuper cool, by the wayâand I went inside to check it out, but my presence messed with their techâwhich was an accidentâand they freaked out, so I freaked out, and then we kinda got into a little fight until Green Lantern came to mediate.â
âHm. Is that right?â The Shade asks Green Lantern, who nods slowly, still anticipating an attack. âIt seems like the problemâs fixed, then.â
âWell, yes, butââ
âAnd it does seem about time for these kids to get home, doesn't it?â The Shade pulls out an actual pocket watch, chain and all, from his suit pocket and takes his time in checking it. âIâll see them home.âÂ
Shadows grow from behind the team, swirling until they become a giant, gaping maw that swallows them up and spits them out in a different forest, or maybe just a different part of the same forest.Â
Either way, Cassie has to take a moment to make sure she doesnât throw up from the sudden vertigo the shadow portal caused.Â
The Shade looks at Phantom, and raises an eyebrow. âYou canât expect me to always bail you out.âÂ
Phantom shrugs, looking guilty. âI know. Thanks, Richard.â
Oh, so thatâs who Richard is. Annoyingly, neither Tim or Bart look surprised by this revelation.

From: Boo Seungkwan <[email protected]> To: You <[email protected]> Date: March 31, 2025 Subject: so..?
this e-mail is being written right after my meeting with my company, but right before i text you lol. i'm going to schedule send this for the end of our contract so this is actually going to be a letter from seungkwan of the past đ» don't be spooked! hehe
jokes set aside, i don't know what the next couple of months will look like. i understand why this is being done. you need the publicity for your drama... we have our cb... bla bla bla. it's all the usual stuff in this godforsaken industry
honestly, when i first got approached with the idea of faking a relationship for the group's benefit, i was 10000% ready to say no. but. i found out who it was going to be
and i just thought, like, okay. we already know each other. we're friends! and i guess i just wanted to make sure things would be easy for you, too. bc you deserve someone who will understand you, who will help you and be there for you through something hellish as this
so here's some promises i'll make you, even though you won't see them until much later lololol: i promise to be THE best fake boyfriend there is!!! i'll be cooperative, i'll play the part. i'll try to make sure this arrangement doesn't feel like work (even though it is), and when it's too much, we can run away to jeju for a weekend (just kidding) (or am i?)
by the time you get this, you'll know whether i got to do all that lol. make sure to hold me accountable ok!!! if i wasn't a good fake boyfriend, then show me this and i'll get you a meal, your choice. if i was a good fake boyfriend... well, that was the goal đ€
i feel like this is already getting super long, so i'll end it now. i'm going to text you to see what you think of the arrangement. hopefully, you're fine with it, or else this would all just be a waste of writing lol. see you, fake girlfriend :)
forever yours, your bf-to-be seungkwan đ
p.s. this is the embarrassing part so i'm burying it in the very bottom đ€· but i also hope that this whole thing will give me the courage to say what i really want to, which is something like
p.s.s. they didn't have to contract me to date you. i would've done it on my own accord. i would've done it for free.
p.s.s.s. i was ready to do all of it, only because it's you

Y'know, I think I figured out why the Hells still feel like a new low-level party to me, even though they're level 13 and almost 100 episodes in.
I don't quite think it's the lack of conversations, or the fact half the party's plot hooks are big ties to past campaigns - though that definitely plays a part.
... Bell's Hells still primarily rely on quest givers.
Most of their goals are given to them and do not feel organic to the party, and constantly remind us that the Hells are pretty much never the most powerful people in the room. Which is usually something you see with a low-level party.
NPCs offering jobs is not a bad thing; it's a very common plot hook. Matt has been extremely skilled with using NPC quest givers in those two campaigns. Not only do they provide an obvious plot thread, but they can put the party in the path of others (say, the Nein running into the Iron Shepherds while doing a job for the Gentleman and everything that came of that). And the Hells had a solid start with it too - Eshteross was an excellent quest giver!
The problem is that Bell's Hells have never really not had a quest giver.
Maybe it's a byproduct of the more plot-heavy structure of this campaign? But while prior parties have felt like they decided on their course of action and what they prioritized, Bell's Hells feels less like level 13 (13! Level 13!) experienced adventurers and more like an MMO group clicking on the exclamation point over an NPC's head. Where does the plot demand we go next? Who do we report back to?
They're level 13.
At level 13, Vox Machina had just defeated a necromantic city-state to clear their name and Percy's conscience. And, you know, the Conclave just destroyed Emon. No one was explicitly telling the group to gather Vestiges and save the world (though Matt guided them there), and they were usually among the most powerful people in the room. They chose which Vestiges to prioritize, which dragons to tackle when, even if the over-all plot was pretty clear.
At level 13, the Mighty Nein were celebrating Traveler Con (another PC goal, I'll note) after brokering peace between two nations, accidentally becoming pirates and heroes of the Dynasty. The Nein regularly chose what to do based on personal goals, not grand ones. Though definitely smaller fish than Vox Machina at this level, they were very independent and gaining solid political clout.
While we're at it: level 13 is one level lower than the Ring of Brass, who had a huge amount of sway over Avalir. They ended the world, and also saved it, while in the grand scheme of things being only a smidge more powerful than Bell's Hells are now.
Can you really see the Hells wielding that amount of influence, when they're constantly being told what to do next?
The god-eater might be unleashed, so Bell's Hells have no time to do anything but what is asked of them. No time for therapy unless stolen from Feywild time, no travel on foot and late-night watches. They haven't even had time to grieve FCG. Percy was grieved in the middle of the Conclave arc. Molly was grieved when half the party was still in irons.
Matt is in the very unfortunate spot of not being able to give the Hells the same agency as the other two parties. Not only because of the world-ending plot introduced so early on; they are surrounded by characters they know (and the cast knows) are stronger and wiser than them - the familiarity of the past PCs and NPCs is to their disadvantage.
Why would the party reasonably ignore Keyleth's task that will help save the world and go off on a romp? Why would the cast when they know well Keyleth has to be sensible and with the best intentions in mind? The stakes are just too high.
It means that the Hells still feel like they're running errands instead of pursuing their own destiny. Their accomplishments are diminished as just being parts of a to-do list, and any stakes feel padded by several level 20 PCs/NPCs standing 5 steps away ready to catch them.
This isn't Bell's Hell's fault, nor is it Matt's. It could be amended, I think, if the Hells are really left to their own devices for a long period of time without support and shortcuts (like during the party split)... which would be really tricky to pull off at this point in the campaign.
They're level 13. They're big fish, but they're stuck in a pond full of friendly sharks, so they don't feel big at all.
#critical role#campaign 3#bells hells#cr meta#critical role meta#the percy's conscience thing is half a joke. i love him but man he rlly went there just for the Vengeance. this isnt about him tho#to quote burr: we rlly spent the entire campaign on imogen and orym's backstories and everything else is sidequests#it's just. god. the constant hand-holding paired w the fact there's no TENSION from the fact they're taking the orders#the Nein were allergic to quest givers partially bc they rightfully didn't trust them. But the cast and audience trusts Keyleth and co 100%#it feels like you could put any other characters in this group and Of Course they'd still do roughly the same things on a macro scale#i love Orym and Liam's intent behind the character. but i. think it all boils down to his strong connection w Keyleth ;;#because of Course he'd reach out when things got bad. and of Course they would turn to her for advice.#the other three parties mentioned could Say Things and they would get Done. kinda iffy for the Nein but they could still boss ppl around#who can the Hells delegate smaller tasks to? ask to spy for them? deal with arcane batteries? no one! Because they ARE the small guys!

I'm not sure if I believe the "Wakaba Isshiki did unethical experiments" theory in the fandom, but I do think this is the biggest proof of it in-game:
Because how the hell would she know that?
The first explanation is that she did experiments by sending people into palaces and then testing what happens to them if the palace collapses. Which is messed up for obvious reasons.
The second explanation is that she did NOT test it, meaning she was just making shit up. Which is funny but also would make her a terrible scientist. This explanation is less believable because everything else about her research is too accurate.
There's also a theory that Wakaba did unethical experiments on Akechi specifically. I'm not sure I believe that, since the evidence for it is pretty shallow (like the featherman game scientist experimenting on grey pigeon). But this scene is once again the biggest argument you could make for that theory. The researcher in the image above refers to palaces by their correct term 'palaces', which they say was based on Wakaba's research. But that's only something you would know with firsthand experience of the metaverse. And the only person they know who could access the metaverse was Akechi (that we know of, but i dont think Shido would rely only on Akechi if there were other options).
So yeah this scene is very sus. It's most likely the writers didn't think too deep about the implications. There's no way they wanted Futaba's mom to be sketchy, right? But even if it's not intentional, the scenes and their implications still exist. So in conclusion those theories make sense, I get it, and I don't blame anyone for headcanoning them and having fun. And tbh anyone involved with cognitive psience was portrayed as some degree of unethical (maruki for example), maybe this is just on-brand
#i really wish the game explained what the cognitive psience research thing was like more#like WHO are those people following joker at the end of the game. and WHO are those men escorting akechi in the end credits#shuake always matching because theyre both being stalked by men in suits for some unexplained reason#also about that featherman game#we all know grey pigeon is supposed to be akechi#but personally i dont think the scientist in that game is wakaba. thematically it feels more like shido#but regardless the game implies some stuff that akechi went through#either he was experimented on by cognitive pscientists (if you take the game literally)#or it's supposed to be a metaphor for the grooming shido did to him. endangering his life and controlling him with promises and praise#uggghggh thats so awful. someone pls just let the boy be happy#my post#persona 5#persona 5 royal#wakaba isshiki#futaba sakura#goro akechi#p5r wakaba#p5r futaba#p5r akechi#shido masayoshi#phantom thieves#p5r shido#p5r analysis#p5r meta#persona 5 meta#p5r#shuake#tagged shuake because i mentioned them in the tags even if the post itself isnt rlly about them

dance of the moonlight jellies
aka drew a scene from my own fanfic yippeee
#.png#last life#martyn inthelittlewood#last life martyn#mumbo jumbo#last life mumbo#sdvau#redwood#ahasbands#trafficshipping#fanart#the fact that u cant see martyns face is um. a metaphor. for the fact that mumbo is looking away#and canât see how much martyn loves him until he really faces him#and not just me liking this angle and deciding he doesnt get face privileges#also mumbo canonically having a tan in this universe is definitely a decision i made#iâm so used to making him rlly pale.. it threw me off in the pixel art too#because i was using the flats from this piece as reference#its like barely a tan too u cant even tell when heâs not next to martyn đ#this guy needs to get outta those caves istg

i love ford getting mad @ stan & accidentally triggering a flashback/bad memory recollection & that startling him enough for him to stop being angry
major wake up call. i love that man getting humbled
hmmmm yes i love it i'll take 20
bonus thing that happens Later
#in the life#my art#pheo doodles#gravity falls#stanley pines#stanford pines#yes thanks to the other anon who inspired the 'stan's fever gets too high so ford has to run a bath for him'#cuz in that last one stan is Kinda coming back from the delirium but still only vaguely aware#so his though process went like#'fuck fuck fuck its freezing gotta turn up the heater in my car- oh thats not a dial thats a hand. six fingers. ford?#he hasnt kept me company when im sick since we were kids. maybe we still are. maybe it was all a bad dream.'#also ford isnt rlly mad at stan here. hes losing it because stan was RECKLESS and it SCARED HIM#but uh. he doesnt show it very well#and they do look an awful lot like their pa dont they?
