#riot's rambles

[bitchriotsworld]

here's the thing about gravity falls:

i remember being a kid at my cousins house the first time i saw it. i remember being in awe of what i was seeing. i remember watching the inconveniencing and absolutely losing my marbles. i remember that was the day i got hooked.

i remember going home and watching that damn show religiously. i had my parents record every episode, just in case, and then id rewatch the recordings until the new episode would come out.

i remember my little brother becoming hooked as well, watching each episode along with me. i remember the two of us asking our parents what certain jokes meant, only for them to come up with an excuse as fast as they could to preserve our innocence.

i remember running to the tv when the final episode came out. i remember the feeling of not wanting it to be over, but accepting that it was.

then, i remember being in a bookstore with my family, seeing a copy of journal three, and immediately snatching it for myself. i remember reading it in a day and definitely not staying up past my bedtime so i could read.

i remember getting hooked all over again, rewatching the show with my brother when things would get stressful in my house.

cut to 2020 lockdown, i remember rewatching it again with my little brother, for old times sake. i remember watching it on my couch that hadn't moved since the first time we saw weirdmageddon.

now, i'm grown up, and i feel as if gravity falls has grown with me. sure, there were times that the show scared the shit out of me as a kid, but it's nothing compared to what's in the book of bill. however, i can handle it now that im older.

gravity falls is a show about growing up. so, now that its audience has grown up, it's time for a new adventure. i am so excited to see where this leads.

only mcr fans can casually make a post that says "cancer moment" and have it be completely normal

since stan was on TV a many times, had an extensive list of crimes, And was apparently well known enough to warrant his "death" being a headline article, do you think he has a Wikipedia page in universe.

do you think if dipper and Mabel looked up "Stan Pines" they'd find a wiki article on a guy who looks exactly like their grunkle and has been dead for 30 years.

do you think there'd be mentions of the Scientist turned Conman being his twin brother. Ford did write a nationally ranked thesis. do you think they'd be like. a Little famous?

….what is this man’s beef with the Knights of Beauty 😭

he used the little ‘f’ fools, so ik he’s not talking about his faction.. but damn -> do you think Aha tried to recruit one once? And Sampo was sent to deliver the invitation?

or at the very least, was he sent to bring them to this tavern? i’m pretty sure all his stories are rooted in his experiences [which makes the ‘you can stay if you’re entertaining’ line extra interesting]

i wouldn’t be surprised if this ‘tavern’ was where Aha indoctrinated his Fools

[lilyznow]

I love both shows so much

The folks talking about how Jinx's braids are her most iconic feature and cutting them off is a big risk for fortiche are right.

But that's kind of why I'm excited.

Like go ahead, fortiche, burn down the established conventions and build your own from the ashes.

Why does the Vander statue not have a beard? Who approved this? What is this anti-beard propaganda?

Wasn't Vander beardless when he tried to drown Silco? Why did Silco let Vander be memorialized like this? Not to sound dramatic, but it feels like he's just retraumatizing himself this way.

at some point during a hyperfixation my ability to articulate my complicated thoughts about a character decay to a point where i just turn into this

[gorgynei]

okay actually fortiche having FULL creative control over the sex is the craziest thing ever. but they did it perfectly so i cant even complain or doubt the methods

[harrowscore]

can't believe a show based on a videogame (usually games adaptations are notoriously bad, which isn't the case here tho) gave me the beauty and the beast/twisted mirrors/enemies to traveling companions/ruthless antihero+optmistic but still badass heroine who takes none of his shit/age gap but make it sexy dynamic of my dreams. as much as i love maximus and i think he deserves the best writing ever because 1. he's a clever deconstruction of the aspiring Knight bro who's actually a bit of a loser and, as much as lucy, sees the world in black&white at first and then doesn't get what he thought he wanted but what he needs (or at least i hope he'll eventually get it), and 2. he's a cutie and i want an epic love story for him too, it's very funny how they tried to give us a puppy kind of romance and the tumblr girlies still fixated on the "toxic ~she bites his finger off and he cuts hers off and sews it on his hand in what we'll pretend it's a symbolic marriage rings exchange or whatever~ asshole who used to be a nice guy/good girl™ with a lot of spunk and hidden anger but unshakeable morals" kind of relationship.

havin thoughts.

au where grunkle stan has a prosthetic leg, he lost it in his 20s and has been using a range of (usually very bad and/or possibly stolen) prosthetics, and he never changes to better ones until the old one breaks beyond repair.

especially after taking over the mystery shack, because Stanford never lost a leg on record, so it'd be weird if Suddenly he had a decade old amputation randomly.

when the twins visit for the summer, they only find out after arriving. the Mr. Mystery persona hides his leg, after all, and sure, he walks around with the 8ball cane, but that's just for the persona, right?

wrong. Stan needs a cane, but only uses the 8ball one (it's not very good for him), and his leg is Old. it's like bordering on ten years old, and the foot is all worn out, plus the knee joint stops working randomly. so. he needs a new one.

Mabel and Dipper devise a plan. at first, their plan is to "fix" Stan's leg. regrow it or whatever. they end up almost doing some kind of witch deal, but it doesn't work out (and also they almost get eaten or smth)

stan explains to them that he's not looking to Regrow his leg. he's spent longer Without it then he ever did With it. he's spent like almost forty years with only one leg, he's used to it. they don't need to worry about him. and he ruffles their hair.

but Mabel and Dipper manage to convince him to at least get a new prosthetic and cane. ones that are actually good for him. Stan doesn't want to go to the doctor, but they find a way. probably mcgucket, he happily cobbles together a leg and cane. it might have lasers and Such in it, but he removes them when asked.

it's not perfect, but it's Leagues better than what stan had before, and the twins decorate it for him. stickers, some glitter. yknow.

very sweet I think. also this would slightly change Stan's usual outfit of his white tank top and his boxers, because he is hiding his leg from Gravity Falls, or at least trying to. the entire town probably knows already and just don't comment on it (it'd be rude if they did) he probably wears sweatpants or something.

also Ford Doesn't Know stan only has one leg. he's in for a shock. he's still mad about a lot of things, but like. cmon stan. that leg, while better than the others, isn't good. it's made of scrap metal stan. probably tries to get him an actual proper medical prosthetic. from a certified place. ford's gonna be short with him and grumpy but he's not gonna let stan screw himself over like this. also that hearing aid is just as bad. go to the doctor Stanley.
