I know there's a lot of debate about the Stans' age, and personally I've calculated it as 62, so Shermie would have had to have His Son(Dip+Mab Dad) at 16 and then the twins were born when their parents were 18 or vice versa. To me, I like the thought that Shermie didn't escape Filbrick's bad parenting and got a girl pregnant as a teenager and his son only managed to be slightly better and married the mother of his children only for their marriage to not work out. Bill Cipher referencing Dipper hearing his parents fighting.
It's the consequences of Bad Parenting and Abuse afflicted by this man that's haunting the narrative.
#his son tries to be better by marrying her when he finds out#ala old sitcoms like George Lopez or the one with the Irish family#but the facade doesnt hold up#the calculations for the Stans is kinda in the air I guess its messy#but im going with 62 and 63 since their birthday is in July#gravity falls#stanford pines#stanley pines#pines twins#stan twins#stan pines#pines family#shermie pines#filbrick pines#caryn pines#mabel pines#dipper pines#ford pines#sherman pines#mr and mrs pines#mine#my post

#my art#xingyue#renheng#yingxing#dan feng#hsr#honkai star rail#mfw 'i want fuxk that old man' ACTUALLY applies to an old man this time#the ranwan parallels are surface level at best but super arrogant/talented man w/ purple eyes who faces scorn due to his birth status#falls for bitchy ice queen who puts up facades and acts heartless but in reality bleeds empathy!#and also were married in their past lives! albeit under much happier circumstances than ranwan but. yknow.#i'm embarassed by the middle one but goddamn she's going up

i love that yjh is a generic sword anime protag boy. isekai mc. black haired love interest in a rofan whos only good characteristic is his face. i love when his image is stolen and used in sexy alpha man jokes. i love that hes one of the first characters you see when you google black haired anime boy. he has a heart bigger than any other and he looks like an airbrushed ai generation of hot anime guy. its awesome.
#just saw that video again where a wolfman is like no.. im an alpha.. after his girlfriend is stolen by yjh. then he also makes out with yjh#hes not an alpha is the thing. hes cool as hell. but even thats a facade for when he doesnt want to talk about stuff.#and everyone falls for it. even kim dokja. even me. hes cool as hell.#orv

Thinking about this line from the Transformers Annual. Instead of saying “me!” or being defensive, Bumblebee says “nice people”—even though perhaps back in the time Optimus and Pyra were talking about, Bumblebee was likely being genuine. However this line denotes that at least at this point in time, saying things like that is a conscious decision to be “nice”. It’s a conscious facade, and part of why Bumblebee works so well with Starscream in phase 2–they’re both stuck between who other people perceive them as, and who they are and become as they heal post war. As they do their best to unite neutrals, autobots, and decepticons, or colonists and cybertronians. Part of why they both end up failing to lead is BECAUSE their reputations precede them in such a way, but that doesn’t mean they can’t still push towards their wish to see Cybertronian become home once more, and being able to be themselves and rest with each other. Bumblebee and Starscream are a lot more alike than many people—both within and outside of canon—think.
#the evil starscream and the good bumblebee are conscious facades and how do you avoid falling back into those mechanisms that helped you#cope during the war but no longer help as they used to now#on top of it people expect the same from you and for it to have the same effect#starscream#bumblebee#starbee#my writing#transformers idw#transformers meta#transformers#tf idw#transformers bumblebee#bumblebee transformers#starscream transformers#transformers starscream#till all are one#taao

I'm gnawing on Timothy rn. He's not a poor meow meow. He can be selfish. He can be mean. He has attachment issues. If it's just due to mask of Jack - who cares. He tries to separate from the man, and he's the one who makes the choices.
Tim can be awkward. He can be anxious, happy, sad. But he will shoot you. He'll laugh at your project if he doesn't like him. He can be assertive.
Tim isn't good or bad. Tim is a person, and like the universe he's in - he shows it off. Guilt only comes from confrontation. And that's something Jack done a few times too.
Idk where this thought is going but - I hope they won't make the dna take over him. He's great as himself. And may he be blessed
#Timothy Lawrence#Borderlands#It's the facade that keeps on coming back every so often#But is it really a facade if he's doing it just like that?#Timothy screams the name of God that can't fall for it never raised enough#Tomorrow is a new day for him. But it won't last#Delete latte

no bc i really don't trust people who genuinely think saiki hates his friends. like i get it, saiki does wanna be alone most times. but did they miss the eps where saiki kept an eye on his friends even when they weren't together and helped them?? i mean i could name numerous cases where he puts his friends above all else. i thought we all knew saiki is an unreliable narrator?? 😭 plus his mother did Not raise him like that
#like him having a ''mysterious sickness'' on the ship knowing full well he was just sea sick#its our job as viewers to see through the characte's facade#pls do not fall for it#he genuinely cares so much about every one of his friends#hes so amazing im gonna cry#i am so sorry abt the rant#i feel physically ill when i see blatant mischaracterization of them#do not play with me when it comes to my hyperfixations#the disastrous life of saiki k.#saiki kusuo#kusuo saiki#saiki kusuo no psi nan#saiki x reader

Salt in my lungs, Holding my breath Making peace with my inevitable death I guess I did alright considering Tried to be a halfway decent friend Wound up a bad comedian An honest fool with more bad habits Than you can count
#Alyssa arts#Elden Ring#Sorcerer Rogier#Rogier Elden Ring#sure I'll use both my tags for him why not#I wish this were a finished thing but have this for now#I've wanted to use those lyrics for a Rogier piece for a LONG time now#and I really just wanted to draw a piece with him like looking up in awe/devoutly I guess#at something or someone#I'll leave that up to you to decide :)#also the feather in his hat's not there because it's on the other side and he's facing a different way so I didn't draw it in#it's for real purposeful I swear!!#and yes people pointed it out last time but those are grays in his hair :3c#a lifetime of putting up facades while you're not okay and on the edge of falling apart but needing to persevere will do that to you :)))#I am so normal about this man I swear :))))))

Thinking about the episode where Nessie Jr hatches and how Colonel Baird assumes that Ezekiel is goofing off so she gives him a job to do and he keeps trying to get that job out of the way as fast as he can so he can go back to the very important job he was doing.
There's so much to be said about that part of the episode!
The way colonel baird assumes he's goofing off, the way he doesn't even try to defend himself until after he's already finished the thing she was stopping him from doing, the way he only explains why he was on his phone after she's already scolded him multiple times, the way he HACKED a GOVERNMENT SATALITE from his CELL PHONE, the way he genuinely cares about the egg despite it being dumped on him because of the assumption that he isn't working on something worthwhile, the way he's genuinely upset that he almost killed the egg by accident, the way he doesn't realise a bunsen burner will kill the baby but knows how to HACK a SATALITE from his CELL PHONE, the way he doesn't really care that Baird kept him away from his important work because of an assumption, the way he never tries to curb her assumption, the way he's only annoyed and really only mildly scolds her for making him take longer to figure out the other's were in big trouble, the way that this episode deeply effects how Baird sees Ezekiel, there's just so much to be said
#ezekiel thrives off of these types of assumptions of him#he knows he cant be upset with her for assuming hes goofing off because she thinks that by his own design#he goes out of his way to make a facade of himself everyone will fall foe#so hes not upset that she fell for it#but he is a little upset that they could have saved the others sooner if shed just let him be#i think him not even trying to defend himself until hes already done says so much about him#like she made him get off his phone like three times and not once did he explain “actually im doing important work on here to make sure our#friends are safe“#not once did he refuse to do the job she gave him#do you think he never told her until after because he thought she wouldnt believe him#he didnt get the chance#he didnt think of it#or he just didnt care enough to tell her#did he think he needed proof in the form of it being done?#did he worry about it making her feel bad if she knew she made a false assumption about him that made his work harder?#was he trying to keep up his facade for as long as he could? only to let it fall when he knew for sure the other librarians were likely in#danger?#like i said#so much to be said here#ezekiel jones#eve baird#nessie#nessie jr#the librarians

I do think it's very interesting to have Loop as a counterpoint to Siffrin because as a character Loop is forced to talk more than what they are probably comfortable with, so we get some interesting insights into Siffrin as well. It also lets us see what it might have been like to view Siffrin from the outside when they first met the party, the rather lackadaisical personality with sharp mean comments that are intended as teasing. While Loop is different than Siffrin, an extreme version of a possibility, there are still similarities that we can acknowledge between them. As such, I think it's a tad dishonest to write the party as not noticing the similarities of the two of them when writing Loop joins the party fanfics. Sure, they don't recognize Loop as Siffrin in game but that was an emergency scenario with zero context as to what was happening. Given time and less stress, I'm sure everyone in the party would realize that something about Loop is adding up Siffrin. Anyway, that's just some of my thoughts on the matter. I find the mirror of self intriguing when the reflection has grown sentience and the ability to change without knowing they are a reflection in the first place.
#Isat#In stars and time#two hats spoilers#Isat spoilers#Isat siffrin#Isat loop#I dunno I just think y'all are kind of falling for the facade of Loop a lil here when y'all think the party didn't recognize them at all#Like Loop and Siffrin are unreliable narrators and we don't get to see outside Siffrin POV in game#I'm willing to bet that Siffrin and Loop act very similar previous to loop 1 but that's because Loop is forcing themself#To be more like their past self while not remembering full details on that#So it's kind of nature vs nurture argument but that's a fucked up argument to make because the answer is neither#God fuck I love these two asses

once again thinking about cloud “there’s someone in me that isn’t me,” “i have to leave, i’m afraid I won’t be able to stop him next time,” “i’m sorry i couldn’t be your cloud,” “maybe one day you’ll get to meet the ‘real cloud,’” “i was never hunting sephiroth, he was always calling me,” “please give me a number professor,” “tell him that when you see him again, it’ll mean the world to him, okay?” “back then we got by with scraped knees,” “hey, tifa” strife.
#ff7#final fantasy vii#talks#cloud strife#the writing in the og. is just. so special to me#some of this might be slightly off i couldnt find exact captions#but yeah. all things he says that bounce around my empty brain like the dvd logo#just. how he goes through the first half of the game powered by anger and fear and vengeance.#and how the facade of strength falls the second tifa agrees with sephiroth. that she lied and kept the truth from him#how he struggles for so long to hold onto control because he has no idea whats happening to him. why he cant remember stretches of time.#why everyone is treaded on eggshells around him. why he cant remember how he got from one place to another. why he cant stop#himself from hurting aerith.

the third prince is so interesting to me bc he's made of the themes. he subconsciously attempts to replicate his parents' power dynamic with his first (and only) real relationship except it's not even a real relationship bc his evil mistress is manipulating him the whole time. he looks like the physical ideal of warrior masculinity (you know. the one who died in the last book) except that he sucks and is useless and can't fulfill his singular purpose and literally everyone knows it. he's a hollow shell with nothing inside but also he's intelligent and perceptive and a whole person underneath it all but also it doesn't even matter who he is bc he's being slowly suffocated by other people's expectations and agendas but also he has no choice but to be nothing bc he can't be great. "what if you were willing to do anything to get what you wanted" well what if you didn't even know what you wanted. what if what you wanted was so completely opposed to who you are and what you were made for that you could never actually believe that you could have it. what then. he's happy about two people being tortured to death bc his mom didn't like them. he's the living embodiment of a crumbling heirless dynasty. he's a blushing maiden being seduced by an older man with ill intentions and he's a powerful royal whose lover is wholly reliant upon him for survival. he and baoxiang are both punishing each other for the things they hate about themselves. his death causes the end of the book. and he's been dead since the day he was born.
#the radiant emperor#he who drowned the world#anyway. filicide is so fun. love dynasties cannibalizing themselves#third prince and ma xiuying parallels. is that anything#they're both gay 19 year olds who wang baoxiang projects all his emotional issues onto before falling in love with them#also seeing through your lover's bullshit facade but not enough to know what they're truly capable of before it's too late#also being miserable in your set role but not seeing any alternative before other possibilities are shown to you by the power of gay sex#well. by the power of being seen and understood in a way no one ever has before. but mostly gay sex#also ouyang kills both of their dads but that's not proof of anything ouyang kills everyone's dad#i'm making the third prince/wbx dynamic more weird and freudian actually i think it's fascinating that wbx and lady ki are kind of the same#is this a coherent post? probably not
