Although Dr. Raïna Manuel-Paris Gracia's birthday is on January 9th, today I want to show you the biography I've been collecting these days.

I hope you like the reading because it's very interesting, and who knows if in the future we find more interesting facts about her!!

Enjoy her and also her family members here.

I was talking to my dear friend @darfichihrenhundstreicheln about the character Martin the Warrior (who is a warrior mouse, obviously) in the Redwall books. Which my friend has never read. So in my attempts to, as an adult with an adult's literary analysis skills, explain him and his role, I came up with these comparisons:

Mouse Jesus (a bit obvious but not like, the worst analog)

A mouse demigod of some sort, likely akin to a Greek demigod given he has a legendary father whose metaphorical shoes he tries to fill

A mouse hero (demigod or fully mortal) that ascended to godhood upon his passing (a la Heracles)

When I elaborated as to why I was assigning Martin the Warrior these roles, darfichihrenhundstreicheln came up with ANOTHER option:

Mouse King Arthur

Which may be the closest one yet.

By the way, when asked, the author Brian Jacques described the creation of Martin the Warrior as being inspired by less of an epic hero and more of just like, a good guy that helps people out.

Everytime someone complains about pc culture and how you cant say anything these days i think about like a few centuries ago when guys would shoot each other at dawn bc one said something mildly salty about the other

I asked for fic recs so it only makes sense that I provide some.

The Invisible Stan by The Last Speecher (HeidiMelone)

Simple, short, but elegant. You know how hanahaki disease is a trope? I feel like this should be a trope, but idk what you'd call it - Ninny disease sounds bad, but like it's clearly based off of Ninny from the Moomins. Anyway, great fic <3

An Outreached Hand by WDW

Ghost trick au! Love a good ghost trick au! I reread this recently and it still holds up so well, still so good even if unfinished. Haven't played ghost trick since, some of the twists make a hair more sense - especially the twist in the last chapter posted and being like 'OH IT'S *THE* GHOST TRICK'. Shoutout to undead creepiness and cute kitties :3

Retrograde by scrawling_stardumb

Kissing this one on the mouth. Only one chapter and unfinished, but it's a long chapter and really makes you go 'whoa'. It's interesting because the summary *technically* gives you more info than the chapter itself, but it's that kind of dramatic irony that fits the writing so well. A good solid McGucket POV too, which there really isn't enough of. Tbh, it stands okay almost as a one shot? I wish this became a whole popular au like all the others, bc it kicks ass as a concept.

Finding the Right Frequency by impish_nature

A pretty cute one! Ford trying to figure out how to deal with Bill, and Stan having found a stable job, and someow their two worlds intersect. Cute moments between the two, and some good Stans getting to reconnect.

Things You Can't Take Back by thesnadger

Classic by the Snadger! I always appreciate people who take Stan's memory less and make it more complicated, or at least have there be aftershocks to have your whole life erased :D So well written.

like they were a perfect fit by hapful

Stanford Pines and the photo he never looses. A beautiful story about Ford throughout the ages and his opnions on family, specifically Stan.

putting the dog to sleep by parsnipit

Old Yeller is such a sad story, and also some of this made me think of Mice and Men, and ugh just Stan and Ford and beign willing to kill something you love - sometimes because you love it - and it's such a perfect analogy to them I could die.

none of those phds is an md, you dumb idiot by untrustworthyglitch

I always love a fic that acknowledges language barriers. It reminds me of a really old fic where I did something similar, but like, being away from Earth would lead to you forgetting a lot of things, including language.

Too Late, Too Soon, Not Enough by IncomingAlbatross

Ah, gotta love a good fic that shows the missing scene of Ford and Stan switching places. Who came up with the idea? Who needed to be convinced? What swears do they get to use while off camera? Stan I love you so much, and Ford I lov eyou for beig nso complicated.

Raising Stakes by MaryPSue

Mwah! A Classic if I've ever seen one! While I'm partial to werewolf!Stan, Vampire!Stan does have so much potential and MaryPSue puts it to use so well! A great look into what Gravity Falls was like back in taht time period, and I love when people utilize Susan in fics that take place pre-portal <3 Also, Carla! I miss you so much Carla <3 It's drama, it's action, it's everything!

Lost and Found by PengyChan

Tate & Fiddleford have a lot of untapped potential, and while I think going the angst route makes a lot of sense, this one is almost more fluff and catharsis, I guess? I love it, near and dear to me.

Off-Season by anistarrose

Time Travel fic, but not a timestuck au? More likely than you think! A cute oneshot with particular focus on Stan, Mabel, and Dipper. Just a fluffy little thing with a couple strangers helping Stan out through a difficult winter.

Persist and Dwell by fencesit

A bit of Soos's trust in Grunkle Stan, and a mystery that isn't so much mystery as it is simply just not explicitly said. One of the final scenes has still stuck with me, and this is defo a concept I'd love to see explored more.

flee from your ghosts (burn your house down) by thepolysyndetonaddictsupportgroup

While typically OTGW x Gravity Falls crossovers are, like, Pinescone, I'm partial to this version where Wirt is their dad. There'a few details that didn' sit well with me, but over all so incredible and well written. Some of the metaphors are just so evocative I could eat them. The descriptions are to die for. And I love the depiction of a dad struggling to get his kids to open up to him that feels like it's part dads struggle with teens and part those pines twins just won't tell the truth.

If you have any Gravity Falls fic recs, feel free to comment them!

I just had another idea about an snippet, this time after talking with a friend of mine. So, enjoy it!

Alicia was talking with Alejandro while she did some paperwork, smiling as she heard him talk. While they did that, she also heard a furious muttering that called her attention, and soon Jackson walked in front of the office without paying attention. Once she saw him, a little smile appeared, seeing him wearing a three-piece suit for the first time in...forever.

"Amor? Everything okay over there?" Alejandro asked curiosly

"Yeah, just figured something out" she said with a chuckle "can you give me a second, dear?"

"Sure, tell me when you're ready"

And when the call was silenced, Alicia walked outside the office, looking at Jackson. She called him, making him looking at her, surprised. For a second Alicia stayed in silence before smiling again, then pointing to his neck.

"The tie knot is wrong" she said "it should be a bit more little"

"What?! Shit! I've been trying all day!" he shouted, frustrated

"Need some help?"

"Didn't know you learned how to do it, Captain..."

"I learned watching my dad do this for my brother" she muttered as she untied it and started the knot again "pay attention, this is the easiest"

"Your father teached your brother, huh?" he murmured as he looked the slow movements of the tie "my father never did that for me..."

"Never is late to learn, better now than never, right?" Alicia told him with a little smile "can I ask why you're dressed up like this? You look good, by the way"

"An old friend invited me to a conference in Austin, but since I'll be one of the speechers, I won't take the uniform with me"

"Oh, you're an speecher today? That's great news!"

"Yeah, it's the first time I do" he said with a genuine excited smile "they want me to talk about medical duties on the field"

"Heh, I bet you'll have many anecdotes about us to use as examples"

"Maybe"

"There we go! Alright, it's done"

Jackson looked once again to the tie, this time the knot was well done and looked pulcrous, so he smiled again.

"Thank you Captain"

"No worries, but hey...can you wait here for a second?"

"Uhh, sure. I still have some time before I have to go"

Then Alicia walked back to her office, searching on her desk for something she had bought before, and soon found it. It was something she bought as a treat for herself, but now it will have a better use, or well...that she hopes. Once she went back with Jackson, she gave him the little box, confusing him as she made a sign to open it.

"What...? What is this?" he asked, surprised as he looked the silvered cufflinks inside

"Don't worry about it now" she said as she patted his shoulder "take them as a good luck charm, will you?"

"Uh, um, I'll bring them back as soon as I finish the conference. I'll keep them as clean as possible"

"No, Jackson. Those are yours now, it's a gift"

"A gift? What for?"

She shuggred her shoulders with a smile, then going back to her office again, leaving the confused soldier behind. Alicia just shouted "Good luck! You'll do it great!" before going inside, and at the same time the blonde SEAL looked at the cufflinks before wearing them in silence as he walked away. Meanwhile, inside the office, Alicia turned on again the microphone as she chuckled.

"Why are you laughing?" Alejandro asked, also chuckling "it's rare to hear you like that"

"Just that I remembered my own adolescence when I saw Jackson, and it made me laugh"

"Did you help him with something?"

"The tie knot"

"Ahh, it's something difficult to learn" he said calmly "huh, apparently I'll have eight stepsons"

"What? Where did that come from?" Alicia asked confused

"Well, Luke is like your lil' brother and Edward like the family close friend, so there are eight of your boys"

"I mean, no, not that! Alejo, what do you mean by 'stepsons'?"

"Seriously you don't know why I say that, do you?"

"No...?"

"Ay cariño..."

"What is it?"

"I'll tell you one day, but for now. Tell Jackson I wish him luck!"

"Oh no! Don't you dare hang up!" she shouted as he hung up with a laugh "Alejandro! Goddamnit!"

Hunk Volleyball! From The Great North "Bad Speecher Adventure” S04E01

[beefkisser]

Beginning my proper watch party of The Great North season 4! Can't wait to see how my perception of these first handful of episodes has changed since they were what introduced me to the show.

First up, "Bad Speecher Adveture"!

I kinda find it hard to believe this is what sold me on the show lmao. It's not a bad episode by any means I just think it's really obvious how predisposed I was to love these characters, I saw Beef in the opening and was hooked INSTANTLY.

[ordinaryschmuck]

I think "Bad Speecher Adventure" is probably the worst episode of The Great North. Not only do I want someone to slap Moon so he could shut up, but it's just...movie parodies surrounding that make no sense for the stories people are telling. And as someone who already doesn't like it when Bob's Burgers has these anthology episodes, I like it less in The Great North that leans more towards wackiness and antics over slightly amusing situations in a semi-realistic situation. It's just...not for me.

y'know how Thor became a lesbian icon despite not being a lesbian? that's how I feel about Eliot Spencer Leverage.

I love being locked in dissociate couch tumblr no bed dissociate worm???

anyway if I made a social media it would be not care what you upload the sex whatever (exceptions of real that is illegal where the servers live but this would NOT include gay it is fully allowed) if America is scared not my problem however much like AO3 very organized content filter available include chose not tag and unlike tumblr there would be system for STANDARDIZE style such that not need block "thing tw" "tw thing" "cw thing" "thingy" "thing mention" etc. while also supporting obscure and specialized filter for weird personal triggers and squicks and spoilers and any other reason not want view. I think separately exists organizational tags such that have functionality and control over it BOTH globaly visbile and per account local, with customizable defaults for optimal ease of use. IMPORTANT IS CHOOSE WHAT EASE IS FOR USER. There would be so many settings for you with reasonable defaults to minimize the required actions for individuals on average to get wanted experience but it is all in user's hands. User has power. Important.

accessibility option: hide posts with undescribed image no need tag for filter. what if id is not in alt? remove need to ever put elsewhere! including when OP did not do it you can still add! it will be communicated who submitted ID and yes you can lie you can always lie lying is possible in all situations. You can also be corrected like always. additional benefit of add retroactive alt text: Screnreader sees it on the image! no need to wait for the part where they explain the image that was twenty paragraphs ago! Continuity! (note: I never used screenreader I simply assume it is not magic?)

there should also be option to, for filterless posts, specific warnings, or always, hide images, gifs, and/or videos by default if you worry it might contain visuals you do not want to see. if alt text exists you can choose to view it without viewing file, so you can check it to decide if you want to view, or get context for post without viewing, or just prepare yourself for what exactly you will see. Up to user!

I need to got to bed and reboot speecher but I don't care you get my ramble anyway. your problem now <3

I fucking love Fakir: “Okay, so let me get this shit straight.”

“Dangerous stories should not be born” What an interesting idea, and one that I disagree with wholeheartedly! I probably do not fit in with many of the views on tumblr, as I tend to be a pretty ACLU -style free speecher. I think you should be able to say whatever dumb shit you want without getting your hands cut off. I’ll think you’re annoying and boring if you say my family should have ended up in an oven, but I actually do think you should have the right to say that, and say that to my face, and then figure out that speech is free only because I don’t think the government should beat your ass.

When it comes to stories, even more so. I think dangerous, bad, challenging, hateable stories should be written.

Please note I have never seen this and am watching spoiler-free! Please don’t confirm, deny, or explain anything, even if it’s historical or cultural! Thank you!
