❝Remember there's a person here in Korea, in city of Seoul, who understands you. We are all in different parts of the world, in different environments and circumstances. But in this moment, I hope we can all give each other a warm pat on the back and say: 'It's okay.'❞

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PARK JIMIN! (oct. 13, 1995)

i want to be clear, i don’t want a “redemption arc” kipperlilly because i hate her for her anger management issues. i don’t want a “redemption arc” kipperlilly because the villainy of her, for me, is in her entitlement.

it’s in her fetishization of riz’s life problems— of his race, his single parent home, his traumatic connection to the season one big bad— and her conceptualizing them as the reason he’s a successful adventurer with a personal relationship with the person running their school, when in reality, he actually just works his ass off.

kip’s faults don’t lie in her unchecked and uncontrolled anger, but in the specifics of the thing that she’s angry about. her life, in her mind (in my read of the character), is too good to be the life of a good adventurer. she has both her parents, she’s financially stable, her parents don’t abuse her like adine’s do her. sure, she has problems, but she doesn’t have the big problems that you get to put in your college essays to prove you’ve overcome adversity.

the actual problem with her worldview is that she thinks riz is able to go on exciting adventures and is able have “friends in high places” because of the fantasy world version of affirmative action or dei— because he’s a goblin with a sad backstory.

which is so mundane in its villainy, but so prevalent in so many real life people. it’s a commentary i appreciate, personally, having experienced that villainy first hand in my life, and it was extremely gratifying, for me, to watch the representation of that worldview be destroyed as quickly as the rat grinders were destroyed.

*this isn’t to say, obviously, that i think klcp defenders are wrong for defending her from her own canon ending (so far), just that i wanted to point out that purely villainous reading of her in the fandom do come from more than just the place of hating her for her inability to manage her anger bc i’ve seen a few posts that had me thinking abt it.

Thinking about the fact that Mabel and Dipper didn't know they had two great uncles.

Yeah they are 12 and at 12 I had a shotty understanding of my family tree- But really? Nobody brought up their great uncle? Stanley? Especially since they'll be staying with his twin brother, Stanford?

Shermie never went to Stan's fake funeral, which to me means the twos relationship was strained on some level. If Shermie is older that means his view of Stan was poisoned in some way, that even as kids they weren't close. If the Shermie is younger then he never even got to meet Stan and all he knew about him was how he failed his family. Hell, people probably barely mentioned Stanley TO Shermie.

The fact that Stan had become a black stain upon the Pines family name makes me so vividly upset. Stanley faked his death and the family just- seemingly decided to strike him from the record. To pretend he didn't existed to spare themselves the sadness and shame.

Stanford and Shermie Pines. The only children worth mentioning of Filbrick and Caryn Pines.

It was never Stanford that was lost to the world. It was Stanley, ever since he had to leave New Jersy- it was always him that had to be struck from the record. Change his name, change his state, change his affiliations, destroy the remains of ghost that was Stanley Pines. Kill him so the family doesn't bring him up, doesn't ask questions, stops asking "Stanford" about his twin.

I just keep thinking about the fact that since the day he made one single mistake all the way up until Ford walks out of that machine- Stanley Pines was killed and did not exist. And Stan himself had no one to blame, he had to play the part in his own demise- He is the only one who ever knew Stanley was alive and has been for decades.

He lives in the multitudes of every personality he's ever taken, all in the hope that he himself can stop being Stanley Pines.

honestly i don't think sqq (jiu) would have minded the accusations of preferential treatment from yqy if they'd felt true. like as children he guarded the title of being yue qi's Favorite with teeth and claws. why shouldn't he be given preferential treatment? everyone ought to know just who qi-ge likes and trusts over everyone else. and for good fucking reason--who else here is watching out for qi-ge? as peak lords he's literally 2nd in command and chief tactician, if yqy values his word over yours, then its both what makes most sense and also what he deserves.

the thing is that to sqq, being accused of being favoured by yqy over others now just feels like a sick joke, because obviously (to him) that's not the fucking case. if he actually gave him preferential treatment you'd think he'd listen to what he has to fucking say, instead of believing what anyone else tells him about sqq. you'd think, if he was yqy's favorite, he wouldn't have left him to rot.

so i think, in a setting where they reconcile after becoming peak lords, that sqq would very much slap yqy's love for him in everyones faces as a kind of power move. a kind of, "oh, you thought that was favouritism? you havent seen yet what it looks like when qi-ge lets himself favour someone."
