Very interested in the story of concussion Apollo's dad gave him
👀
-@ukelele-boy
Yes yessss let me explain! I think I’ve covered this incident before but I’ve changed it a lil bit so here we go!
Apollo had spent years being his father’s “golden child”. He had perfect grades, joined every honor’s society, was top of all them sports teams, all that jazz. Any failure, or even just Apollo expressing that he was tired and burnt out, led to passive aggressive (or just straight up aggressive) attacks from his father. Apollo had to be perfect, and he had to be happy about it too. All of this was extremely damaging to Apollo’s psyche, but he pushed through his rapidly worsening mental state and any injuries his father gave him, bc he reasoned that he was just putting on a happy face to help keep the family together, or keep his father calm so that he didn’t lash out at any of the other siblings.
Everything kept building up until Apollo graduates high school. Apollo really, really, didn’t want to go to law school, which his father was pushing onto him. Instead, he applied to a nearby med school, hoping that the prestige of such a job would pacify Zeus. Instead, Zeus became enraged that Apollo went behind his back about this, and the two of them got into an incredibly violent row. For the first time, the rest of the family got a view of how Zeus treated Apollo behind closed doors, and the fighting escalated until Zeus ended up pushing the stairs of their home, giving him a severe concussion alongside several other more minor injuries (two fractures, and a lot of bruises) Honestly, if Apollo was in peak condition he might not have gotten so hurt, but the stress of this entire situation had made him skip meals and lose sleep, so he wasn’t able to catch himself in any way. The whole thing got Apollo hospitalized. This was the straw that broke the camel's back for Apollo, and when he woke up in the hospital, he told the nurses he didn’t want any visitors, and began the difficult process of cutting off the rest of his family.
As I said in the last post about this, Apollo now suffers from fits of insomnia and narcolepsy, migraines, and vertigo, but he also suffers from a lot of short term memory loss, which is really kicking his ass when it comes to med school. ALSO, like I said before, Apollo doesn’t actually want to go to med school. He just feels like 1) he’s already started, so he has to see it through, and 2) he’s still a bit caught up in the ideal of perfection that’s been pushed on him his whole life. It’s only through seeing his own past reflected in Jason, and fearing that he’ll get hurt in the same way, that Apollo is truly able to self-reflect and see how much he’s still living in a very self-destructive way.

Knowledge Revenge.
#dungeon meshi#chilchuk tims#senshi#Somewhat of an unofficial sequel to the Dragon Comic. I promise I have more versatility in my jokes. I just had to take this opportunity.#Senshi is pretty much a recluse. I think he would know a few of these 'gottems' but not all.#Chilchuck would know gottems that are nearly lost to time. The deep cuts. The ones that you fall for because they are that obscure.#I would also like to take a moment to confess that after the last comic in which I posed a gottem -#I fell victim to a Mind Goblin Attack. I was thoroughly got. I will be on higher alert this time.#So NOBODY be funny in the tags. I am gullible and I like to share things with my friends. Who are *ruthless*.#I have a mild resistance to Vicious Mockery at this point but I can only take so much.#Happy Thistle Thursday Everyone! See you next week!

don't show him modern technology; it won't end well
bonus under the cut:
#i'm not sure if ford would really be interested in using the internet much#but i could see him wanting to look something up real quick and ending up reading something so outrageously wrong#that it pisses him off to the point that he gets into an argument about it lol#gravity falls#stan pines#stanley pines#stanford pines#digital art#my stuff#anyway i really don't like how this one turned out#but i don't feel like changing it#bc i already spent way more time on this than i actually wanted to#and i don't wanna look at it any longer

Doodles for an AU I’ve been simmering in my mind where Bill ends up stuck possessing Ford in the 80s, and he and Stan begrudgingly agree to help each other try get Ford back and free Bill.
And when I say simmering I mean brainrot. I have brainrot. Someone help me.
Stan and Bill are such a fascinating dynamic to explore, especially in a situation like this.

Nooo little Stanley watch out! Your striped shirt, bandage, and sad backstory are too Fallen Human Coded!! The Undertale narrative is going to get you!!!
#continuation of the one with Charaa & Fordd. The twins get separated because I thought it would be more fun. dw stanleys doing great! =)#I was thinking about soul colours and honestly I think Stanley would be red? Not because of determination (that is technically fanon)#but because he has that protagonist je ne sais quoi. Fordd would be purple imo. Perseverance but also the rigidity of its soul mechanic#kind of a wip. There's a few comic panels this were meant to go with but I liked it on its own too!#Gravity Falls#Gravity Falls Fanart#Gravity falls crossover#Undertale#utdr#crossover#Stanley Pines#Stan Pines#young stanley pines#Fan art#Fanart#Artists on Tumblr#My art#AU

Gravity Falls AU where everything is exactly the same except Bill’s parents are alive and well, and they’re just so proud of their chaotic dream demon son

dipper is a weirdly special kind of character to me because I was that type of kid, the one who wanted to grow up too fast and got irritated at their sibling not taking things too seriously and never wanting to seem childlike. i connected heavily with him, and honestly the entire arc of Gravity Falls being in part about him learning to just be a kid really helped me in the long run. it was a great wake up call seeing a character so similar to me at that age learn to finally stop trying to be an adult before i was ready.
#now im more of a mabel but thats how it goes!#i also am named mason so its really funny how much i went “he just like me fr” back when i was a guy#my posts#gravity falls
