a short placing heavy emphasis on Hungarian Rhapsody No. II is a rite of passage for golden age cartoons. Bugs Bunny did it! Tom and Jerry did it! Daffy and Donald! but one thing Woody Woodpecker has above the competition is that he is held hostage by a group of gangsters and is forced to entertain, lest he get executed. amazing

i will always respect and even encourage ford criticism, seeing as he's my favorite character and also he sucks, but respectfully i'm throwing you into a lake.

ford is a jerk? yes! ford is more selfish than stan? arguably yes! never really proves that he loves the kids? huh???

let's go over some facts.

gravity falls is a surprisingly subtext-heavy show. you are not exempt from the subtext.

stan has TWO ENTIRE SEASONS to prove he loves the kids. ford has LESS THAN HALF OF ONE.

he JUST got back to this dimension AND learned that he has a niece and nephew in the first place.

in that vein, he has SOOOOO much more to worry about. the fate of the damn world is at stake and as far as he knows, he's the only one who can prevent the apocalypse.

even with ALLLLLL this on his shoulders. he STILL includes the kids in this. should he? probably not, but he's not a parent. he's an uncle.

he tears himself away from dismantling the portal SPECIFICALLY to play fucking d&d with dipper. he trusts mabel with the unicorn mission and thinks that, if ANYONE'S pure of heart, it's her. plus, not to bring in the supplemental material, but HE'S the one who knows dipper's real name, and also he and stan literally fight over who's the better uncle in one of the comics LMAO

i was talking about this in a discord server, and i think this sums it up pretty fucking well:

"like considering him having grown up in the 60s(?) w a kinda shit dad and then being isolated in the woods for a while and then stranded across dimensions for another 30 years with like Net Zero Friends the whole time probably i think I’d say he’s pretty kind to the kids. yeah i think it would’ve been helpful to include mabel and stan in on the Keep The Rift Safe thing but hey. he was working through some Learning To Trust His Family stuff HDHDJSJ"

plus, stan has his shit moments too. he put waddles outside when mabel practically begged him not to and entrusted him with her little guy. that's an entire episode! he pits the kids against each other over a room. the entirety of "roadside attraction" is stan knowingly giving dipper shifty dating advice and then facing the consequences for following it himself.

the big difference is that stan's shit moments are laid out, again, over two whole seasons. ford's are crunched into a very small timeline.

again. ford IS selfish. he IS a jerk. you're fully allowed to not have him in your top 5, or not like him at all! but he also objectively DOES love his family, and even if we didn't get to see it much, we did STILL get to see it. it's not always overt and obvious like with stan or soos, but it's still clear enough to be undeniable, and it's incredibly unfair to his character to say he "didn't prove it."

billie eilish and finneas - interview with zane lowe may 21, 2024 - on fear, honesty and struggle with HIT ME HARD AND SOFT

Billie: Well, and also, not to throw you under the bus, but Finneas was like, “I don't like doing this anymore. I don't want to write music right now.” Finneas: That’s true. Billie: And this was really scary for me at the time because, as you know, I used to be like, I hate making music. Don't want to make it, don't like making it. It's frustrating. It's irritating. I love having made it. I love performing it. I love, you know, when it's good. But I really have always struggled with the process. And this was when— Finneas: You were enjoying the process suddenly. Billie: I was kind of finally enjoying the process. And Finneas was like, “I would rather be doing anything else right now.” And it was very interesting because I saw myself in that. I was like, I have felt that way, and you have always been the thing that keeps the ship moving, and now you feel that way and like, what does that mean for us and what are we going to do? Billie: Well, and also, not to throw you under the bus, but Finneas was like, “I don't like doing this anymore. I don't want to write music right now.” Finneas: That’s true.

so so so very awkward when you think a mutual has deactivated bc ‘this account doesn’t exist!’ pops up, but it turns out tumblr gaslit you and said person actually has blocked you instead

had an eventful day

[nymph1e]

I started 911 expecting buddie to be like... subtle? From what people say it wasn't meant from the beginning so of course it would just be like. A normal friend relationship, maybe a bit of heterosexual life partners thrown in there but uh

This shit is gay
