I know Bill's the big bad demon everyone is afraid of and he will protect his husband at all costs (when no one's looking), but I think it's also worth mentioning that Dipper, even being the dorky, squishy human that he is, also cares about his dumb demon hubby and wants to keep him safe, even if it annoys Bill, and really, he doesn't need protecting the way Dipper does. He isn't going to puff out his chest and get in someone's face like some macho man, but I think Dipper knee-jerk reaction when Bill's in "danger" isn't to just shrug because he's an all-powerful demon who can handle it. If a blast that could level a whole town was aimed at Bill's head (for him, this just means a bad hair day and a new body), Dipper's immediate impulse is to push him out of the way or defend him against whatever wants to kill his familiar. Because he's not thinking "Bill could literally end this match in .3 seconds." He's thinking "if you touch even one hair on that asshole's head, I'm going to knock yours clean off your shoulders." I don't know what the point even is in this post, just that Dipper is this nerdy, unassuming guy who ends up being viciously protective under the right conditions. Like I think Dipper pulls off the bloody and vengeful look SO well that Bill immediately melts and just lets him handle the situation, even though it's not really Dipper's fight to begin with. He's beating the guy to a pulp with zero reserve, and Bill's off to the side swooning and twirling his hair over his man for getting his hands dirty for him.

It's true! While Bill's not the type to enjoy being underestimated, he has to admit! Seeing his adorable husband all riled up on his behalf is a hell of a sight.

The thing is, Dipper's a good guy! He can't help but put himself in danger over others. Even when all reason and logic say that Bill would be absolutely fine if he got his head exploded or a shiv in his kidney, Dipper's instinct is to fully and immediately get in the way of that. To, in fact, be protective.

Mostly this is only evident when Dipper has to stand up to Ford. Yes, yes, Bill's a vile horrible monstrosity, but he didn't do that particular thing you're accusing him of. Watching him stand up to his uncle is a particular treat!

For bigger threats, though - Well. Bill's gonna be absolutely fine, no matter what happens, thank you very much. But he's definitely not opposed to seeing some guy who was about to literally stab him in the back get a few of his teeth knocked out.

I'm starting Mission to Zyxx Season 5 now, and I have feelings about that.

First, it generally scares me when people hype anything up at all because there is no guarantee that anyone values the exact same thing I do to the same degree. Even if I trust the creators of a thing to value something and try to do right by it, that doesn't always necessarily mean it will be successful, especially if that involves doing something wildly different than what made it good in the first place (I have been burned this way before). I guess I'm just hoping they continue the format of goofy improv shenanigans for the majority of it with something more planned and emotional in the finale if they want, like they've been doing all along. I'd think they would, and I've heard nothing bad about the ending, but I guess it still makes me nervous because I'm so close to the end and I want it so badly to stick the landing. I'm setting my expectations on the floor so I can be surprised instead of disappointed, but honestly, I don't need it to be better, I just need it to be on par with the rest.

Second, and more briefly, I'm happy it's (hopefully) ending before it has a chance to decline. I am so on board with that philosophy. But on the other hand, finishing a thing that I really, really like and knowing there's not another one out there gives me a special kind of heartache. Like, I know there will be other good media, and stuff that's good and unique in other ways, but I know for a fact that there are no other podcasts out there that have the same mix of a balance of off-the-wall improv and structured narrative, quality comedy, fantastical sci-fi setting and loveable characters, and high quality production. There are other things out there with many of those qualities, but nothing that checks every one of those boxes. It's a lightning-in-a-bottle thing that very much feels like the right people had to be in the right place at the right time to do it. Attempts to do it again would feel hollow because it had to be born out of necessity and passion and the talents of the people involved, so if you switch out the people it loses the reasons it's great, and if the same people tried to do it again it'd feel tired. That makes me so, so grateful it exists, but also so, so sad that it doesn't, and I'm 80% of the way done. When it's over, it's over.

Anyway. Now that that's all out there, I'm just gonna finish listening and have fun. Wish me luck.

The problem with BOTW is that it's obnoxiously popular in the LOZ fandom to the detriment of other games but also unfortunately it's genuinely really really fun to write fanfic for.

Growing up adhd/autistic afab is Literally being faster than the (broken buttons, proccessing speed slower than your typing speed) calculator that your shitty minimum wage job gives you instead of a proper register and then sitting at the counter waiting for an elderly republican man to type his (Handwritten By You, because you have no register) itemized receipt into the calculator on his phone, holding up the entire pre-dinner rush, only for him to say "Look! You're wrong" and having to show him how to go into the calculators history to show him that he typed 120.25 as 12.025 and that you are, in fact, correct, just for him to ask for your manager, get the girl (Who KNOWS how much you love number families and addition) whos basically your work-sister instead because your manager is gone for the last three hours of every workday (understandably, shes older than your parents and takes one day off a week, you feel bad for her, yet customers expect her there 24/7), and now you're down another staff member as he makes her put all of this into the calculator while you redo the maths by hand, and you still finish up before she does, but the both of you get the same answer this time cause your coworker knows exactly which buttons are finicky today and has the self control to type slow enough for the calculator to process. The man then pays his over $300 bill, cursing the audacity of women these days, and leaves. (He'll be back this same time next week, and make a fuss about the new prices since supply has tanked)

But hey! No one else in that line complained about you Not using the calculator, and a lot of the older women (mostly teachers and accountants, made you happy) gave you comoliments and complained about His audacity, so it was fine, really.

the more i think about it, the more i realize that it’s completely understandable why Jonel in particular tapped into the idea of forest gods on Nowhere. obviously, that’s a role they set for him, but it had to be based on something. but there’s talking bones, ghosts, the Word on the Wind, the Magifolk, the rumor of a dragon underneath the islands... no fucking wonder they set that role up. i’m sure the White Ship people had never seen even a fraction of anything like what Nowhere had to offer. it must have left quite the impression upon them.
