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."

I like to make my own tidbits for small lore pieces that interest me, especially the octarian technology and its vast world of possibilities, I’ve never posted art so self indulgent before.

I think they’re both conditioned by society but in different ways.

- There’s a lot of conflicting ideas in the soldiers head because she fights all their battles, secretly unsatisfied.

- the engineer is just paid with what little funding they have to advance technology for the army itself, she learns to appreciate the soldiers viewpoint though.

Tfw "Lemme just do a quiiiiiick little sheet with some Character Faces!" turns into "OKAY, but let's do all of the characters and then make up some new ones to fill the leftover spaces!"

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

Looking To The Future 2024 and Onward

It's almost the middle of January now, so this is super late, but today, after a bit of time. I realized something important. I've seen everyone post their New Year posts already, well now it's my turn.

I've been on this hell site for a very long time now. Over the years, I've seen a lot of people come and stay, but a lot more go and leave, which is something that happens in the RPC. While it can be quite sad, sometimes that's just how it goes. It could be someone you're really excited to interact with, and with the click of a mouse, they are gone. That being said

Listen. I know I haven't been the best writer. I've been insanely sporadic and spotty with activity, I don't always have the energy to reply to everything at once or have the capacity to keep up a lot of the time because life keeps me running.

I'm slow, disappear more often than I'd like for longer than I'd like, I can't always answer everything, OOC or IC, sometimes miss messages and get distracted at the drop of a hat. I am unapologetically obsessed with my devil man, which can sometimes come off as annoying, just like how extremely invested I become with ships, something that can sometimes scare people away. I can sometimes say things that come off sounding more harsh than they are intended to be (If this has ever happened I am very sorry, I promise it's never meant like that!) I'm also very sorry if somehow offended you in any shape or form, it is never my intention to make people uncomfortable or unwelcome.

Years ago, I heavily debated on coming back here and even considered leaving this site entirely. Well, all these years later, I'm still here, and it's all thanks to the lovely people I've met in my time here, both old followers and partners as well as the new ones I have yet to interact with yet!

I want to take this moment to say thank you:

Thank you, for liking my posts. Thank you, for showing interest in writing with me Thank you, to those who followed me for years and still continue to do so despite my terrible track record, you guys are special to me. Thank you, to the new followers who are giving my devil man a chance, I look forward to screaming about our muses together, and I hope we can become friends!

But most important of all Thank you, to those who have become not only my rp partner but also, for being my friend, and genuinely enjoy talking to me, I'd be nothing without you.

Thank you, for letting me scream to you about my devil man without being annoyed Thank you, to my shipping partners for letting me scream to you about our ship, and not pushing me away because of my overwhelming love for them. The fact that you all put up with me means the world to me,despite how much love I have for them, it warms my heart to see you still here with me.

Thank you, for sending me asks, OOC and IC Thank you, for leaving your kind comments on my OOC posts Thank you, for being the sun to my storm, the sheath to my sword, the daylight to my twilight, and the glue to my pieces. Thank you, for giving me even an ounce of your time.

Thank you, so much, for continuing to make my time on this ever-changing site, truly one of the best experiences I've ever had, my blog would be a footnote in the void had it not been for all of you showing genuinely how much you enjoy not only my Vergil, but those who also enjoy talking to me OOC.

Here's to another new year of meeting new people, making new friends, and brand new rp adventures to experience together!

Here's to 2024 Thank you, for making my 2023 one of the best years I've had on tumblr in a long time. I wouldn't trade the time I spent here for anything

Love Your friendly neighborhood Vergil mun ~ Chase
