Shooting stars burn bright and fast, and then they're gone.

Bill calls Mabel "Shooting Star."

Because of the first sweater we see her in? Yes.

Only because of the first sweater we see her in? . . . Doubtful.

Mabel is effervescent, a force of nature. In a recent YouTube interview, Alex Hirsch described her as extremely passionate, always moving so fast from idea to idea, from thing to thing. The reason why shooting stars glow is because of the speed at which they move through the atmosphere; shooting stars move at hypersonic speeds, and those speeds create friction between the gases of our atmosphere and the meteor itself. That friction creates an immense amount of heat and pressure around the meteor, which creates the flame and the glow that we see down below.

This description encapsulates Mabel. She feels every emotion with everything she has, and when she has a new idea or whim, she throws herself into it 100%, not pausing to give anything a chance to get in her way. She's fast, fierce, and bright; she captures the attention and hearts of everyone around her.

But here's the other thing about shooting stars: the heat that allows them to glow also destroys them. The vast majority of meteors turn to ash long before they ever have a chance of reaching Earth's surface. They dissolve before we ever feel them at all.

When you think about the pitch for season two where it would have opened with Dipper's future self coming back to try to change the past because his Mabel had died . . . when you think about how, in the season two that we did get, Bill was going to kill Mabel in the final Weirdmageddon episode, her shooting star symbol looming in his eye as he prepared to snap his fingers on the word "you" . . .

Shooting stars burn fast and bright, and then they're gone. It's interesting to think about how close that came to being true for Mabel -- how both the good and bad aspects of the shooting star imagery could come into play for her character and story arc.

#obvious disclaimer that Mabel was never in any *real* danger given that this was a Disney show & she was based on Alex's sister #whom he loves very much #but also there WAS a pitch where s2 was going to be about Dipper trying to avoid a bad future where Mabel died #(and Mabel would help ofc but Future Dipper told him not to show Present Mabel what was on the note so)#and then of course we all saw Bill's eye stop on the shooting star 😬#idk man! shooting stars are bright and beautiful and you make wishes on them! but then they're gone!#the S Y M B O L I S M is powerful with them #and i just can't stop rotating it in my mind #gravity falls #mabel pines #haven't you noticed that she's a star? coming into view as the world is turning #haven't you noticed she's made it this far?#now everyone can see her burning. now everyone can see her burning.#now everyone . . . can see her . . . burning . . .

things get better. my best friend in the world got top surgery after us talking about it for years. i'm getting mine next year. i have genuine friends now who teach me everyday what love looks like. love looks like going to an arcade and talking for hours at the bar instead. love looks like planning road trips to our hometowns. love looks like choosing our regalia colors together. love looks like learning our language. love looks like compression binders. love looks like top surgery scars. love looks like sweet grass tattoos.

things get better.

#i just remember being a kid and trying to picture my future and coming up blank #never thought I'd have friends who invitr me to shows and genuinely excited to introduce me #I've got this great friend i met at work and she's so fucking awesome!#the exact girl I'd see as a kid and was like god i wanna know her i wanna be her friend #and everytime we talk it's like light casting both ways #im so thankful for my family #im so thankful for my uncle who tells me so many funny stories #for all the endless conversations. for teaching me about our people. telling me about where we come from. feeding me spaghetti after sweat #holding my earrings at the powwow. im thankful for my cousins and their loud beautiful laughter #and for finally fucking accepting that my parents not wanting to be apart of my life doesn't mean I can't live it #wado to friends and family #and actually looking forward to the future now ❤️#vent

Are there still Crown Prince!Wilhelm stans out there despite S3 turning it into the number one problem? Please report, we need to unite and no, that doesn't mean that I don't support Wille's mental health and happiness and that I love the monarchy, some people out there must get it

#young royals #prince wilhelm #any crown prince wille believers speak up please don't let yourself be silenced alskdjdh #i'mma be loud and petty and just obnoxious about loving crown prince wille in contrast to what else i see and what the show says #it just feels so alienating these days and like you're wrong in finding crown prince wille interesting and preferring it #and you're not allowed to even express different thoughts bc canon told you this is how it is and how dare you want this life for wille #I wish i knew about more fics too that write about crown prince wille. it feels like that's forbidden to do now unless he's unhappy in it #and it's just shown how horrible it is and how trapped he is and exploring a different alternative with him actually being a competent +#confident crown prince in the future and simon and him still working out and working together and bring changes to the system #but the show has made sure the fans can't come up with their own interpretation and that's completely 'unrealistic' now #and going against canon and exploring a different possibility is somehow impossible now #and means you're an evil spokesperson for the evil monarchy #god forbid i want him as the fictional crown prince in this fictional show reading/writing a fictional story #stories where he renounces (and that's all I see nowadays implied or otherwise) are just not interesting to me and i hate it #i even try to avoid reading most drabbles bc of the implied reality they portray and barely go through the yr tag on ao3 anymore #when i say it's alienating to be in the fandom these days i mean it. it's tough and frustrating #anyway...anybody else feeling this way?#let me know so i can follow some more i really hope there are more active blogs #mine

went to bed last night feeling that it was finally time to step back and let the dust settle and try to get things back to normal and then woke up to all that

#life #don't get me wrong i'm all for stepping back and starting over #i feel like people would be much more willing to give third or fourth chances if you just take responsibility #ACTUALLY own up to your mistakes (instead of playing the victim) and just say 'hey i fucked up i'm sorry i'll be taking a break'#for self reflection or whatever #all of us make mistakes all of us mess up and hurt others whether intentionally or not #it's human #yet i also feel like it's important what we do about it yaknow? you can't change the past but you certainly can the future #i believe we all can learn and grow from mistakes and become better #my naive dickhead ass wants to sincerely hope that he will change and get better #and choose being a respectful human being instead of chasing clout #but seeing how everything's been unfolding i fear that he will just go back to his old ways but will try to mask it better this time #hoping for starting over without doing the same old copy-paste stuff and being respectful #fearing it's just block-evading #anyway.. here's to hoping this will be the last of it

today on random languages my brain is going 👀 at is biblical hebrew and biblical greek

#the following tags will have discussions of my faith and christianity in general so if you're not interested in that then stop reading ig #some lore: in my early teens i did consider doing a theology degree at uni and becoming an ordained minister/taking a role in the church #this was before i found out a) in my denomination only men can be ministers (deaconesses exist but yeah) and b) the church as an institutio #is pretty yikes #and then finding out i'm queer and nonbinary threw other spanners in there but despite it all my faith is still so so important to me #i want to start learning about christian/comparative theology more broadly to understand both my own faith and others' better #idk why but today i randomly ended up on the webpage for the theological college in NI and was just looking through the courses they offer #maybe someday in the distant future i'll have the money and time to burn to do an online postgrad degree with them #but yeah they have a postgrad certificate in biblical greek 👀 which looked v cool #the internet is a wonderful place and i found a pretty comprehensive looking biblical hebrew course on youtube and i'd probs be able to fin #biblical greek somewhere if i looked hard enough #greek and hebrew are both such linguistically interesting languages and being able to read some would also help in my theological adventure #so new side quest just dropped ig? at least it's my reading week this week so I can dabble in them with no consequences #i've also been wanting to try and learn a language via an immersion focus - obvs can't do full immersion with biblical greek and hebrew but #yeah using a less grammar and vocab focused approach than i'm used to #i have access to digital bibles so i could just choose a v literal english translation and then try and parse what's happening?#yeah we'll see #langblr #ellis exclaims

one thing I dislike is the sophomoric idea that society should, naturally, move towards a completely genderless model. I get where it's coming from, but it assumes an impossible level of homogeneity rather than accepting that - in the infinity of genders that DO and WILL exist - there are some which will take familiar forms and patterns and names.

Like, look, I don't live in the androgynous future ze're imaging. But if I did I would still feel alienated and out-of-place in a slightly different way from the way I felt growing up under gendered capitalism. Because I'm not genderless, and I know damn well that I'd still feel some calling to change... something about myself. Even without words like "woman" or "witch."

It's a nice dream. it might be comforting to some. But it seems like an airy fantasy to me, and not one I can see myself living in.

Obviously I agree that the barriers between genders need to be broken down. Obviously I don't think the traditional gender roles as our society sells them to us are working. But the future I see has more kinds of people and not less.

#random musings #this came up in a zine i read the other night #i mean obviously i won't live to see the hypothetical gender-free future but #i dunno it didn't work out so well in tengoku daimakyou #just trying to keep the kids ignorant of concepts like sex and gender #i can't imagine that if humans stay essentially the same type of creature (they're extremely varied!!!) they'll be able to abandon this ide #gender is a fuck #if it's something that's imposed on you from without #but for some folks #gender is something you can't give up no matter what #not a rational or a logical thing but something deeply tied to identity in a way that can't be cleanly separated #this fantasy then simply supposes that these people are wrong and would naturally fall in line if society simply “forgot” about gender #which i do not agree with. i think new genders will still crop up even if the public is ignorant of the whole concept #even without words or images or examples to express it the idea will come back #unless humans become a very very different type of creature #but that's neither here nor there - we're still talking about human society #so what - should these folks just suffer silently in a different type of society? seems a bit counterintuitive #(personally i'm of the opinion that there are at least as many genders as there are people - but probably more)

more sk8. I think the cindereki stuff is extremely stupid but I am not immune to trying to conceptualize a princess gown in any setting

#sk8 the infinity #kyan reki #hasegawa langa #renga #if ur wondering yes the first gown I uh. pulled? from the brothers grimm version's idea #which I do prefer to the perrault/disney version. specifically bc there's no fairy #there are three balls happening on three consecutive nights and each night cinderella gets a gown and accessories from a tree #growing on her mom's grave #(the version I grew up with (translated to vietnamese) actually wrote it to be her dad's grave instead I literally dont know why)#and the wording is like. ''rain gold and silver on me'' or something like that? which is why all of the dangly bits in that design #(dont worry about the rest of the brothers grimms version. thats not important. dont think about it its not in the room with us)#also in this post: future!renga bc of fucking course. who do you think I am. who do you think I am #I see a character I love I immediately try to imagine a good future for them it is Simply my ways #ft. the lethal combo of being three kinds of queer + adhd + a teen #may just be bc I myself don't go to college lol. but I can't really imagine reki going to college. he'd get apprenticeship somewhere #like immediately. on sight. some uncle in nago would snatch him up a sentence in #I waffle on langa but him just getting out of the biggest shock of his life + severe depression would Not let go of his loved ones #so tbh I can't imagine him leaving okinawa either. at least right after high school #langa has the advantage of not giving a single shit about ''his potentials'' so he'll be chasing life's pleasures for a hot second thank you #also I believe in reki speaking at least passable conversational english thank you. he's trans and gay in asia #he's just also the kind of guy who has to think for a hot second to remember which way the written number 3 faces #''nailed the logic just plugged the wrong number in several times'' kind of guy #while langa's the ''doesn't understand the fundamental concept of puzzles'' kind of guy #man. this is like having two homunculi implanted in my brain. welcome boys come join leon pokemon #talk to each others while I do my job ok? thank you #that said. the comm queue should be finished up soon #(funny thing to say about three comms I know. but I will say it anyway)#and I'll take a few days break to unclench my brain and then get back into it #every day I learn new things about the dip pen. its great #okay. nap now tho. anything else can wait

[ID: three digital illustrations based on episodes of the owl house. The first image is based on Understanding Willow and features Amity and Inner Willow. Amity looks at Inner Willow regretfully, holding a hand to her chest, as Inner Willow stands surrounded by pink fire, yelling at Amity with steam coming from her eyes. Lyrics are written crookedly across the background: "I'm not here for your entertainment/your the kinda guy that likes some fun/am I just here for a bit of amusement?/you'll never be my NUMBER 1!!!".

The second image is based off For the Future and features Willow and Hunter. Hunter hugs willow, his face obscured, as she sobs and vines glow green around them both. The lyrics this time are written more neatly in the middle of the image and read "are you bored?/or are you scared?/what happened to secrets we shared?/ Did I say something/? Have I crossed the line?/you know I never meant it/when I said I was FINE!".

The final image is both drawings on one canvas with no lyrics. Each image has a dark blue background. End ID]

Thinks about Willow's repressed emotions and eats glass. Cutely (song is Con Man by The Tuts!)
