There’s something to be said about how Stanley Pines was treated his entire life as a lesser echo of his brother.

Stan was the failure. He had no value. He was never told he could thrive on his own, so he never tried. He balanced the weight of his dreams on remaining at Ford’s side, and when Ford revealed he had other plans, he spiraled. He lost his home, tried desperately to make a name for himself while spinning from identity to identity, losing more and more of himself as time went on. After years of running, his brother finally reached out to him again and Stan grabbed onto that lifeline, only to realize Ford didn’t want him to stay. Ford wanted Stan to do something for him. That was all.

Stan would never be anything without Ford. He would never be anything more than Ford. He took his brother’s identity while sacrificing decades of his life, but it wasn’t much of a life anyway, so what was there to lose?

Ford returned, and didn’t even thank him.

Stan had done all of that for nothing. His brother looked him in the eye and (from Stan’s perspective) decided he deserved nothing.

Stanley Pines deserved nothing because Stanley Pines was nothing.

And yet, at the end of everything, when everything else was lost, the world was saved.

Not because Stan pretended to be Ford, fulfilling his role as echo and shadow and double.

No.

Because, in that moment, Bill made a deal with Stanley Pines. The conman, the grunkle, the failure. The defender.

Stanley Pines, who would always protect his family, even if it meant sacrificing himself.

Stanley Pines, who was so very valuable, after all.

@hereticcryptid I appear to be slowly but surely developing an entire series about how Hensheng and Baxia apparently get fed up with their owners' inability to express their feelings and take matters into their own hands...

When Steph and Cass get married they don’t take the last name Brown (Daddy Issues™️) or Cain (Daddy Issues Prime™️) or even Wayne (Steph absolutely REFUSES to become a Wayne nosirree), but a secret fourth thing (Gordan).

(Adam Dudaczyk) The fact that vampires drink blood to get that *meaningful hand-neck gesture* - you made that up? (Andrzej Sapkowski) Yes, I didn't model myself on anyone here, I don't know anyone who wrote before me about the fact that vampires drink blood not to satisfy their hunger, but to satisfy their thirst for… entertainment. Texts: the guys sent me to get blood, I was flying drunk… The fun was great.

as i reread this i couldn't stop thinking of this meme

I still think Vertin is athletic, she's just out of her element.

There is more evidence against shrimptin than confirming shrimptin AEB:

Throughout the story, it's implied that while Vertin sucks at arcanum, she's very athletic by her actions and responses during combat. From her duel with Schneider to fighting that big scary thing on the island while carrying 37, she's a fighter. As a kid she's been in physical altercations with bullies. Smoltin was also able to lead the escape despite her lack or arcanum.

But during this event, I could see cases stating the opposite. It gave me pause and I wondered if I just got it all wrong. For example...

Vertin says she never liked the training exercises, swimming isn't her strong point, she doesn't get sports. She seems lost here. If you focused on these details alone, it does seem like shrimp behavior.

But! This could be explained by Vertin's disinterest in competition and anything school related. It doesn't mean she's "bad" at it but rather she doesn't care for it.

But when she's chasing frogs, sneaking around stealing food, and climbing trees, she is more monkey than shrimp. She also crosses the desert with the others while wearing a suit which reminds me of Sonetto mentioning the temperature training their subjected too. It's part of their training as literal soldiers. The SPDM kids are built different because they were forged in the Foundation's trials so Vertin has to have some level of physical prowess like the others.

Another counter point to shrimptin is that during the event she and Ezra beat down Spathodea, literal boxer.

In conclusion, Vertin is athletic but is uncultured in what to do with said athleticism. Instead, she uses it mostly for combat, survival, and carrying people to safety. BTW since no one asked, she's carried Sonetto, Regulus, 37 and maybe Jessica if you count her lifting her straight up out of the hole during Green Lake during her "rescue."

I am normal about this.

Little messy doodle but I was talking to my friend about how my s/i would be using just every petname in the books on Charles but he...struggles a bit to do the same! Even the smallest effort earns him some lovin' tho 🥺💖💖

I think rye thinks it's incredibly adorable of davrin to be worried about him after the accidental hallucination tea experiment. that stoic option 'you know, I lived a whole life before you' contains a world of 'davrin, I'm a mourn watcher with a severely misspent youth behind me. I've been stratospherically high on things you couldn't and probably wouldn't want to imagine, this is barely a tickle'. to me.
