Literally in the first episode of Fantasy High, I watched an arguement that I had several times with my conservative uncles. It boils down to “According to the main message of your faith, our Divinity accepts everyone who is good of heart and kind - hating people for any reason is antithetical.” Kristen was arguing positive points using her faith as a guide
Which like - im not a christian or religious anymore (raised southern baptists and decided that if God exists he’s cruel) but the immediate writing off of everyone who’s part of a Main Stream Religion as Problematic really pisses me off, ya know?
Like sure, Wolfsong has waterslides and snowball fight and a lot of entertainement during a major holiday and then everyone is trying to figure out how they’re evil ehen they’re just having fun. Hey, my former church (Prestonwood Baptist Church and Benttree Community church in Dallas Texas) i have met so may deeply devout and scripture oriented people who are so incredibly loving and giving that they are leagues above anyone else I know, and for Good Friday they still had a wayer slide cause that shit is fun. Some of the most hateful people I know ALSO use religion as an excuse.
I get that organized Religion can house a lot of hate and evil (im writing my thesis on American Fascism and evangelical faith is a big part) but so many people who are Religious are just good people? Like the basic morals of the Torah+Talmund, the Bible and the Qur’an are really positive? Half the catholic church is socialist?
It just speaks to the religious illiteracy in America. Helio isn’t bad - the racist worshippers who through ‘as above so below’ influence their god ARE bad. Brennan says the Harvestmen are a fringe Minority - newsflash, the KKK is a christian group and the majority of christians reject them and find their message to be a spit in the face to Jesus. Why would it be different in Fantasy High if its supposed to be a commentary? I think Helio chose Kristen because he wanted her to free him from the racist status quo (he was giving her spells for all of freshman year supporting her against Sol up until Spring break if not beyond)

Annapantsu's cover of Poison, but it's Inky Mystery Cuphead's life flashing through his eyes, basically — have 'im beating ppl in the chorus, looking the Devil in the eyes, going on rage-induced blackouts, confronting the reality that he's more vulnerable than he ever wants to be; something something die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain, but in the sense of turning into the same monster that disregarded him as an unlucky sucker all those years ago.
Throw in a scene or two showing how, despite all the big talk about wanting to run away & change & leave his problems behind, he's still more or less the same person he was when everything started to go to shit. A few indulgent scenes of violence. The death of innocence at the hands of carefully manicured & perfectly crafted indifference/villainy/bloodlust. The struggle of being who you are, yet wanting to be something that's long dead. The attempt at survival of childish dreams as it's violently snuffed out with nothing but misplaced rage. Perfection in 2 minutes & 7 seconds.

he’d go crazy for deviled eggs, let’s be honest
He is the one that pulls up to the function with trays and trays of deviled eggs. Then, he gets pissy when nobody goes back for seconds

I would love, even if its just its just brief summaries, to know the different thoughts going through bills head throughout the last smut. (mainly when he got the text and when dipper starts just blurting out thoughts and ideas bc i think those moments would be fun to see)
Imagine you're having the shittiest day at work. You're gritting your teeth and hanging onto it by your fingernails, knowing that eventually dealing with this absolutely idiotic, waffling, overstuffed, condescending dipshit of a client will be done with, you'll charge him out the nose for your services - which will probably be, like a hundred dollars, the way this is going! What bullshit. At least afterwards, you can collapse onto the bed and complain to your spouse about it. Which you have been doing, actually, waiting for a decent excuse to bail or check out early.
Then you get a text. And it's your partner saying they got you a brand new console, your favorite pizza - Oh! And a million bucks in untraceable cash - but you might have to kick your shitty client in the nuts so hard his eyes pop out. Does that sound... okay? No pressure or anything.
The reason Bill was a minute later than expected is because even he needed a moment. It was the sheer whiplash from going from Shit to Fucking Amazing.

"unless you’re talking about his recent stuff" oh, okay, I am, sadly. love connecting his stuff to Wildbow. but yeah one of his mashups is a Taylor/Brian mood IMO. Closerflies
WAIT HOLD ON A SEC HE’S LEMON DEMON— I’m a little bit of an idiot I don’t actually know things— but yes!! After listening, gotta agree. The vibes are definitely there, bug girl dissonance for the dissonant bug girl <3
Also PSA: if you send me music I will listen to it because I love hearing what other people listen to, also because for me art and music are like 🤝
