[stemmmm]

[walkerrenee]

sometimes i randomly remember how insane maggie stiefvater was for making ronan lynch—a man that can create reality—a man of god, when he himself is a god of a man. then to take this man and have him be not only in love with, but a literal soulmate of a man named adam. parrish. adam parrish. who, mind you, lives above ronan's very own place of worship. and is the namesake of the first of mankind that the bible says god made from the literal dust of the ground (adam parrish: comes from nothing, hair "dusty" in color) and appoints him to care for the garden of eden (adam parrish: sacrifices himself to ronan's sentient forest). then has adam viewing ronan as a god and ronan saying "maybe he dreamt (created)" adam???? like who just fucking writes that and goes about their life?

What Are The Ways to Remember the Credit Card Billing Cycle Date?

[introvert-slushie]

Time to make this more angsty. Do you guys think that Filbrick would make Ford dress up all appropriate and normal in this photo? Do you think that Filbrick saw his “favorite” son wasn’t normal because of his hands? Do you think Ford tries to hide his hands a lot behind his back with this posture because it looks more professional?

Then, you realize…

“your father won’t want you returning without millions,”

Filbrick doesn’t care for Ford anymore. He once saw his son as a person who would be successful, but it is all put on pause when Stan accidentally “wrecked” Ford’s future. He only saw Ford useful when he had potential to only make money. Now he doesn’t see him as anything anymore.

However, Bill does now. This cycle will repeat with Bill.

Do you guys think that Ford clings onto the wrong people only because they gave him that attention, not caring if they hurt him?

Me, to my new date: doctor who thinks it's a sci-fi story because the Doctor thinks it's a sci-fi story and because the companions think it's a sci-fi story, but it's really just a story about ghosts. a story about an ancient creature carrying the ghosts of everyone they have ever loved, meeting new people, and seeing them only as future ghosts. they are haunted by the future and the past and the present because they are the only constant in a world constantly in flux, and they are running as fast as they can to things before they burn and fade to dust but everything will always end, you understand, because this is the only thing the Doctor understands and yet they keep going. they love too much to stop. doctor who is not science-fiction, it's horror and optimism and spiritual more than anything else, it's religious unto itself, the TARDIS is a haunted house and a church and a graveyard and a hospital and the Doctor is the most haunted being in the universe but more than anything, this is a love story, because how can you love something without being haunted by it- hey, what are you doing?

My date, shoving breadsticks in their purse: I have to go-

not Fifteen embodying what Twelve stood for when he said laugh hard, run fast, be kind.

What hits me some days is Stan and Ford have never processed the fact their father was emotionally (if physically) abusive. No way you can tell me that Filbrick Pines wasn't at least emotionally neglectful.

Stan outright says his dad never threw catch with him. He created the footbot to experience the act of throwing catch. Ford refused to build it for him. A lot of his emotional issues stem from his damaged relationship with his dad. It's absolutely tragic, but what's worse is that as horrible as Filbrick was to him, Stan doesn't really look back on his dad negatively.

He sees his dad as a tough bricklayer who tried to toughen him up in the world. It doesn't come to him that his dad wronged him as a parent, y'know. The man kicked him out of their own home and disowned him for an accident, and there's still a measure of respect in Stan's voice when he talks about his dad. You can hear it.

We usually say Ford was the golden child, and while that may be true, probably is, that doesn't mean anything positive for Ford either. I highly doubt Filbrick was an attentive parent to Ford. He didn't care about Ford's academic success.

Until this. "I'm impressed." Ford's absolute delight implies this isn't a regular occurrence, despite the numerous awards he's won over the years. It takes a school principal telling him that Ford may earn potential millions for Filbrick to demonstrate any pride in his son.

I wouldn't be surprised if Stan got more attention from Filbrick because he was always in trouble and probably increased his troublemaking so his father could give him attention. Ford just stayed on the side as the smarter, quieter kid.

From The Book of Bill, we can infer that Stanford didn't return home frequently, if at all. Bill lies. We know he lies. He also spits truths, especially when he aims to hurt you. He picks at your insecurities. Your dad won't want you coming home if you don't have millions. The fact Bill weaponized this tells me that not giving his family money, not being the millionaire his father wanted him to be definitely sits on Ford.

Stan wanted money to be welcome back into the family.

Ford knew money was the cost for his dad to value him, but he prioritized his passion for research over that. Even so, the decision haunts him.

Crazy thing is Filbrick has probably been dead for 20+ years, and his abuse of his children lingers in them as 60 something year old men. They still don't realize it. They can't even contextualize that their father was abusive, and that hurts me. That's so sad.

| "Wake Up" |

2/2(?)

Pt 1 | Pt 2

Context:

Bill trapped Ford in a bubble, screwing his view of reality. In order to trick Ford, Bill has repressed his memories and manipulated him into believing that he lives with Bill back in the shack where they're both working to complete the 'portal'. Bill's goal here is to get the equation he desperately needed in order to escape Gravity Falls.

An important thing to note is that whenever Ford remembers, the whole scenario resets.

[drowned-hubris]

Gravity falls AU where Ford falls into the portal with the 3rd journal, so the twins have the 2nd journal and Gideon has the first

Because the twins don’t know to not trust bill and because Stan needs him to rebuild the portal, he becomes part of the main group

Eventually Ford comes back and realizes that bill is still around and that he used his family like he used him, and he’s super horrified that Bills basically turned dipper into what Ford used to be with bill (minus all the homoeroticism, obvi)

I just need Ford angst mixed with Dipper and Bill uncovering mystery’s together and gaining his trust by info-bombing on him. Repeating the cycle my beloved

Idk for tagging I’ll call it “Second Journal AU” cause that doesn’t seem taken

[madebycoffee]

What kind of music do they play at the theraprism?

THEY LET YOU REQUEST WHATEVER YOU WANT! THEY CLAIM ITS SOOTHING.... I FIND IT PRETTY HILARIOUS!

[vampirecatprince]

I think one thing that I've really gleaned from my latest read through parts of Journal 3 is realizing just how much McGucket had absolutely no fucking idea he was being pulled into some psuedo-Lovecraftian bullshit, all while literally destroying his private life because he became so obsessed with Ford

Like- damn
