I dont have anything profound or interesting to say rn, i just wanted to let everyone know how much i love Eddie Kaspbrack in the 2017-2019 remakes

I think I've been spoonfed media where characters who grow up like him, with an overbearing mommy and hypochondriac tendencies, are like

super wishy washy and bat their sad little eyes as they nervously twiddle their weak thumbs and have a nervous break down over someone sneezing and idk being so wooby and shy

But Eddie is just an utterly raw asshole

I say it jokingly but him being an actual jerk is so fun to me. He's rude and blunt and snatches shit out of his friends hands and always has some sort of comment to mutter under his breath. AND he's still a coward!!! (In the social sense his whole identity about discovering his own strengths and bravery is legitimately so interesting and i love it.) He's such an annoying little jerk who says something SO rude just to run off when it evidently gets him in trouble. He's unapologetically a cunt and it just tickles me

Does anyone know that tweet where its like

"You cant hit me!! Its my birthday!! Im the birthday boy you cant hit me on my birthday!!"

That's him

More sketch doodles.

I had an idea for a DDMD Forduary thing that I didn’t end up going with, but the top little two-panel thing came to mind while I was thinking about it. It was too funny (to me) not to do a Ford reskin of that one Dipper scene from the original show’s DDMD episode. Now featuring Shanklin!

Also it was weirdly easy to translate Mabel’s character design to a bunny.

Also also I want that paddleball.

Stan's Mind and Stress

Thinking about Stan and how seemingly skilled he is with the mindscape business, and how Ford doesn't appear to be what with a reliance on a metal plate and project mentem to encrypt and hide thoughts from Bill, when Stan easily did that just by focusing on a paddleball during the final episode

What if Stan has such great control and awareness in his mindscape because of all the studying he did on theoretical physics every single night for thirty years, barely getting any sleep with how driven he was and became a lucid dreamer because of it to help accomplish his goal? What if he grasped learning so much because he used his mindscape to practice?

Maybe this is why he’s probably grumpy so much, other than the bitter loneliness, dude hasn’t had a good deep dreamless sleep in literal years. He’s all wrinkly and worn out because he put his body through so much stress and never gave it time to actually relax and recover. He’s been working on that portal nonstop since the night of the incident, so much so he became a mind wizard. And he never even got to relax from the stressful life he was living in the ten years before that too.

Ford may have gotten 12 PHDS and a homicidal muse plus 30 years of survival training, but Stanley got mind powers that even shocked Bill Cipher, given how Cipher reacts to Dipper’s knowledge of how the mindscape works during their fight when he can’t fathom anyone besides himself having told the kid in the first place. A legit ‘who have you been talking to?! only I should know that!’

Poor Stan was under so much duress for so long, his mind—rather than breaking, chose to evolve, I swear. He disassociated right into X-men territory. Because what do a lot of people do when faced with things they can’t handle? Daydream and escape. I bet he spent the first few weeks cat napping a lot before the food ran out what with all the frustration and struggle to understand Ford’s science jargon he was going through. Perfect mind training and escapism time to practice how physics does and doesn’t work and the science behind it when looked through a comparative lens of the real world vs dreams.

Think it just goes to show how rough Stan’s had it oof... and how powerful his ability to adapt and cope is.

“It was the only compliment I ever gave him, because I disapproved of him from beginning to end.”

The disapproval in question:

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but it just occured to me that Yakko's the least "personal" one among the three Warners. I'm mostly referring to the 90s version, but we see glimpses of Wakko's daily life without his siblings several time in the show (ten short films about Wakko Warner, bingo, ups & downs, etc) and Dot has her little poetry corner and songs about herself (I'm cute, Dot's quiet time, etc). Meanwhile, it's as if Yakko never drops his "persona": he never sings about himself, we never see him alone unless it's for an educational song or a sketch where he's speaking to the "camera". The only exceptions are his therapy sessions with Scratchy, but even then, those typically end with him introducing the next cartoon. Am I missing some moments? (I know this is probably to highlight he's the "spokeperson" of the group, but it feeds into the fanon idea that he never lets his guard down)

You're very right! This plays a big part in where that fanon idea comes from- you never feel like you're seeing the real Yakko, at least not all of him. His entire life seems to just be his siblings and his show. He talks a lot, but it's always about others, rarely revealing anything about himself or his inner thoughts. I don't recall a time in the original show where we saw any of his personal hobbies, except like, playing paddleball? Meanwhile, like you alluded to, we know Wakko and Dot's hobbies pretty well. This leads to his characterization in fan works as being someone who puts almost all of his time into his "work"- writing songs and taking care of the sibs.

He didn't really have any individual segments in the original show, as you said. I guess because he was already seen as the face of the show, the one who got the most focus by default, so they didn't feel the need to carve out time to specifically focus on him. There is one personal activity I'm remembering right now- sometimes we see him reading newspapers by himself. That's about it.

Yakko is also a very social creature. He probably has a hard time having fun if there's no one around to enjoy it with. Wakko and Dot have solitary activities they do, but he always prefers to spend time with his siblings, or pick on some stranger, because silent alone time is probably boring for him. This is why he can sometimes be portrayed as clingy or overly protective of his sibs- without them constantly around, he doesn't see much fun in life. Besides the fact that he canonically deeply loves them, of course.

We get a more personal glimpse of Yakko in Wakko's Wish. Even then, his life pretty much just seems to revolve around caring for his siblings. So yeah. That's pretty much just how he is. In the reboot he still watches the news and also watches very long educational documentaries by himself.

You could pretty much say that when it comes to his rare alone time, he prefers to consume chill content that makes him learn something. That's about it.

I enjoyed thinking about this ask, thank you!

like man the parallels between stan and bill are so so so so so fascinating to me ough...... the most obvious thing is that they speak so similarly, often using the same terms and i can't help but wonder how intentional it all was on the part of the writers. biggest one being "eenie meenie miney you" to me, it's so specific.

it could simply be bill picking up stan's mannerisms through ford's memories to further appeal to ford (is that canon somewhere? i don't actually know but i see it mentioned a lot) but some of these are things bill still says and does even when ford is absent. for a being that's lived for trillions of years would terms he picked up only a couple decades ago cement themselves in his behaviour so much?

(also, has anyone ever brought up dreamscaperers' deleted scenes where bill summons a paddleball in the mindscape? stan does the same thing in his own mindscape in the finale. again, that's so specific i can't help but wonder how intentional it was or if it was just a coincidence. i know deleted scenes might not be the best to point to as evidence but i think i've only ever seen someone allude to in one fic and nowhere else?)

i havent read tbob and haven't really kept up much with the new info from it but i have seen the poem about stan and gosh like. it really does seem like it's being consistently hinted at over and over that there's something there with specifically bill and stan. the axolotl's poem was already eyebrow raising with how much of it could be applied to stan and now there's even more..

Sonic: So, Lanolin… Do you have a crush on Shadow?

Lanolin: No.

Sonic: Don’t you guys go out for coffee?

Lanolin: Yes, as friends. That doesn’t mean I like him. And there’s nothing that will ever make me fall for someone like that anyway.

(Sonic and Lanolin look over to see Tangle playing with a paddleball as Shadow walks by)

Tangle: Hey, Shadow. How’s it hanging?

(Shadow snatches the paddleball from Tangle and incinerates it with his chaos powers)

Tangle: My… My paddleball!

Shadow: There is nothing in this universe I find more annoying then paddleballs!

Lanolin:

I do not in fact know this feeling. I just tried it because I was curious but I don't seem to be able to make it happen, it certainly doesn't happen on its own. Very interested to hear more about it

You know that feeling when you close your eyes and your bodily awareness goes bouncy/zooms in and out.

Yeah what's that all about.

[c10udy-d4yz]

more of my little workerssssssss let me tell you about them :3

Kooky Kelly Hoosiewhatsit - Defacto leader of the group. For being called "Kooky," she's actually very level-headed. She's in charge of cataloguing the problems of everyone in Toontown Central so that they can be made into tasks. She can be reached by phone or by mail, and if you must, you can go to the HQ and talk to her directly. She's always willing to help someone in need.

Colby Jack Copperman - Second in command. He's in charge of organizing tasks by importance, difficulty, or any other unforeseen factor. If he feels like the problem isn't worth looking into, he can just reject it, but Kelly highly discourages this. As much as he likes Kelly, he can't stand being someone's lackey, especially as a big cheese, a cog that should be high standing. He just wishes he could do something better with his life.

Chester Laffenstoch - Resident deadbeat nasty rat who can't do his job to save his life. He's got the easiest work in the whole joint too- odd jobs like organizing paperclips or cleaning out the shelves. Whenever someone tries to get him to work, he just sneers at them and plays with his paddleball. Kelly would've fired his ass a long time ago, but his grandfather is a good family friend of her's, and she promised him that she'd keep Chester employed because he struggles with keeping jobs... you'd wonder why.

Howard - General worker. Knows a little bit about everything so he can fill in for someone who's not there. As for Chester, he ends up doing all of his work for him, and in return Chester just constantly picks on him and calls him "Howard the coward." Howard's a very nervous Cog who tends to explode if he gets too scared, and though he's tried to get it fixed, no solutions seem to stick very long. He's very self-conscious, but Kelly and Colby always jump in to defend him because he's always trying his best despite the circumstances, and they really respect him for that.

Peanut - Computer mouse and office pet. Enjoys belly rubs. Her favorite employee is Colby because she likes how he tastes.
