Episode 353: Dead man's hand

Vampire Barnabas Collins stops by the great house of Collinwood to talk with well-meaning governess Vicki. Vicki is depressed because her fiancé Burke is missing and feared dead in the Amazon jungle. Barnabas offers to pay for a private search party to look for Burke. Vicki declines this offer, saying that she is sure the Brazilian authorities are doing all that can be done. One might wonder…

Thinking about that one joke in the Book of Bill that implied Bill might be the biological father of the Flynn kids. Thinking about how Linda Flynn had a secret career as a famous astrophysicist at one point. Thinking about how we don’t know exactly what Bill was doing in the 90s, and how he seems to want to skim over that part of his life, after Ford broke up with him for good but before the twins showed up in Gravity Falls.

Thinking about how Bill frequently hung out with famous musicians. Thinking about Linda, a brilliant young woman fresh off a bizarre pop star career, wanting to make a name for herself that ISN’T Lindana, might have found a new direction with an old friend (before he showed her his true colors.)

Thinking about Bill, fresh off a devastating breakup, trying again one more time to get SOMEONE on Earth to make him a portal. Trying to make the plan WORK. Trying to get a home for his friends in the face of a home dimension that was being destroyed (again). Having someone who’s COMPLETELY DIFFERENT from the man he was obsessed with, but who was no less brilliant and no less capable. (But, unfortunately for him, MUCH less gullible.)

Thinking about how Linda doesn’t want people to know about her former career as a famous astrophysicist. How she keeps this secret, even better than she did her past as Lindana. How she keeps the lid on this even TIGHTER. How she’s almost bitter about it. As if something HAPPENED.

I’m not saying Bill Cipher WAS Linda’s partner of at least five years, even going so far as to start a family with her before she saw his true colors and filed some sort of Uber-effective inter-dimensional restraining order against him, one-upping him so hard that he doesn’t even wanna think about it, but. Holy shit. Imagine

Chapters: 3/3 Relationships: Bill Cipher/Ford Pines, Bill Cipher & His Parents Characters: Bill Cipher, Bill Cipher's Mother, Bill Cipher's Father, Axolotl (Gravity Falls), Ford Pines Summary:

Fussy eater, baby Billy / wouldn't drink unless it's silly.

In Euclydia, everything was perfect. Bill Cipher wasn't born the kind of perfect they were looking for. Seeing the stars up above him in a world where Up Above Him didn't exist meant he was in for a lifetime of doctors, medicine, and keeping-quiet-or-else. But what if he could show everybody what they were missing? The stars were Up there. He knew they were. Maybe he could make everyone else know it, too.

Just fit in just fit in just fit in just fit in j

(In which Bill 1.) learns that doctors are talent-suppressing authoritarian jerks, 2.) accidentally commits genocide, and 3.) takes the train to Denial Town in the Theraprism, with a special cameo from a certain Sixer.)

#bill cipher #the book of bill #gravity falls #bill cipher fic #gravity falls fic #the year is 2024 and i'm writing triangle angst #and i wouldn't trade it for the world #billford #just a splash of it

Art trade w/ @pieadvisor

Going into this trade, I told myself I was going to specifically NOT do the Triangle Strategy option, but it said "Dragan" and "mines" so here we are.

#Triangle Strategy #Dragan Aesfrost #Svarog Aesfrost #I told myself I'd do an Octopath option because I figured you'd enjoy it much better #but this is what the idea allowed me to do #I'm sorry pie #I wasn't strong enough #art trade

one (1) dynamic from a show I watched when I was 12 is has a stronger grip on me than it has any right to, multiversal strength gorilla glue-ass grip.

bayverse setting isn’t conducive to Venus’ mysticism background so uhhh... i guess they argue fantasy vs sci fi genres? idk who would wear big naturals better, Gandalf or Magneto.

zombies, star wars, and star trek are neutral ground

#fanart shitposting #I need the kids to understand Next Mutation was trash #HOWEVER #it gave me my beloved daughter Venus #to which I'm eternally grateful #but skimming reviews of the show has been... strange #The supposed love triangle was baaarely there #Between Leo's weird listening pose #Mikey's thirst that really only spanned frm ep.2-5 #and Raph just being his regular ol' emotionally constipated self?#not a convincing case to me #Donnie and Venus didn't even really argue #Venus complimented him on his ingenuity #and despite his snide delivery he deferred to Venus when it came to supernaturalness #Donnie even expressed interest in the tools and items of her trade #(even if it was to contextualize it in his own westernized science understanding)#but they WERE peak STEM vs Humanities #for that I will always have a hearty chuckle

sometimes researching for avatar redesigns has you 6 layers deep into the Japan's Meiji era allies wiki

#im trying to mess with some of the stuff that feels weird about the ways the fire nation is depicted idk #like i do not feel optically it is good for like them to be so heavily based on japan's imperialist actions #while dressed in clothes that come from places japan colonized #but i dont want it to just be solely japanese though i did draw zuko and azula in hakama but its largely cause i wanted to draw hakama #and like the only place with strong japanese influence being kiyoshi island and my own frustration with the modern day samurai depiction #i think fundamentally it isnt a choice that had as much thought as i am putting in put into it but it does raise an eyebrow for me #anyway i think keeping the thai influence is fine despite the brief invasion japan had into thailand due to thailand then allying with japa #and further allying with the axis due to allying with japan #ugh and ive been told not to think this much about it because its fiction but its also fiction so so so heavily based on real places #and when you base fiction on real cultures you fall into some unintentional pitfalls #i also fucking hate the royal fire nation robes they look so meh and the most costumey out of everything in the show #they look like heavy blankets despite being a supposedly hot nation #theres ways to have heavy robes (heian era japan) but they look like i make them out of fleece and velvet blankets #back to kiyoshi island i think the really only aesthetically japanese reference in the show being an island of noble warriors is lame #plus over done #it feels like nowadays theres a lot of people who get all whiney about people saying fire nation is based off japan #but like dude the creators in the comics and korra like go even more into the japanese influence and clearly it was the original intentions #also i do think you could do some pretty interesting world building by having say there be an older cultural influence on kiyoshi island #from the fire nation especially if the place is established as a central port area then you tie in some okinawan or even hawaiian reference #and gives an explanation that makes sense to why kiyoshi stands out from the rest of the earth kingdom you have long term cultural trading #and it establishes interesting relationships even pre kiyoshi time thereby drawing back onto some real historic references #cause for awhile ryukyu china and japan used to be this trading triangle which could explain some of these various influences going on #i think you can get a really interesting harmony when you create the fire nation out of a mix of japan and thailand #i mean both have these floating buildings due to living on some pretty wet lands and theres harmony in that mix #god i did see one person go like “fire nation is more based on china because theres a lot of red and red is important in china”#my brother in christ red is also important in japan #red is important in like many many asian cultures #i mean of course a lot of that importance stems from china and cultural exchange with china but idk kinda silly to say with your whole ches #like if you want to bring china in then the dragons are the biggest thing like sure some mythos has dragons in japan #but a lot of those comes from china in some way

Reminded why I left twitter today omg ppl saying Rebeca Andrade isn't Black bc she's Brazillian when Brazil has the largest Black nation outside of Africa (55.9 million people of African descent compared to 46.4 million in the USA). I remember watching Daine dos Santos getting emotional during the 2021 Olympics when Rebeca became the first Brazilian gymnast to medal in the games. And a big reason that she was crying is because she's black just like her! She literally said "A primeira medalha é de uma negra." which roughly translates to "The first medal belongs to a Black woman."

#rebeca andrade #daine dos santos #gymnastics #just bc erica mena is racist doesn't mean there aren't actual black latinos #slaves from the triangle slave trade went where??#africa #the usa #THE CARIBEANNNNN #BRAZILLLLL

hamilton this, lin-manuel miranda that, we as a culture have forgotten our historical propaganda whitewashing of american colonial slavehorlders shipping roots

#genuinely depressing that this actually manages to address chattel slavery better than hamilton #and also the realities of the triangle trade #and hold every single person culpable for their roles in the institution #like the bar is on the floor but it still manages to clear the floor.#anyway i hope thomson and general washington live happily ever after

A summary of Doug Armstrong's trade history while being the Blues GM.

god fuckin knows why i made this but it was fun anyway!!!!! completely unnecessary but here it is i guess

inspired by @kylesdubas

#please ignore my typos it's late and idc anymore #rbf chirp #st louis blues #doug armstrong #kyle dubas #steve yzerman #ALSO ALSO #the fact that dubas has NEVER traded with yzerman is CRAZY #literally the love triangle is incomplete without that side of pining #have you ever wanted old men to interact so much #just for the funnies

the way I make sense of anything or anyone is by assigning them a TSwift song, an MCR song, and a Paramore song. like @magpie-trove's Batfam triangles. anyway mine is this

send me an ask and I'll make you a triangle!!

#now I'm thinking about how rose colored boy and the world is ugly are similar... oh...#Lu rambles #music #ask games #btw in case kaylie or someone sees this my triangle for tenet is: helena-labyrinth (but platonic)-caught in the middle #with caught in the middle said a little bit tongue-in-cheek bc i think it's funny akskdkdkfkfj. it can be traded for hallelujah.

me every time they expect me to read a book for my book-reading degree (highly unreasonable)

#plant rant #my art #very silly drawing but i am hugely frustrated by having to read a book that SHOULD be interesting and is DEFINITELY historically important #it’s one of the first autobiographies of someone enslaved in the triangle trade #but holy shit it’s like 90% descriptions of life at sea #and like. every so often there’s a really interesting bit. but mostly. it’s boats. and i KNOW i shouldn’t accuse it of being boring #like just morally i shouldn’t #but it took me 4 hours to read 90 pages with almost no breaks. it’s slow going.#anyway. it wouldn’t be so bad if the course organisers hadn’t changed how the course works so i had to (try to) read it all in one night.#shut up marni this isn’t interesting at all

Watching "The Day After Tomorrow" with my husband. Watching the three white teenagers navigate the beginning of the storm: Husband: "So, basically, that's Rory, Jess, and Logan.... except Jess would have a lot more street smarts in navigating the situation."

#the day after tomorrow #gilmore girls #not trading #rory gilmore #jess mariano #logan huntzberger #not ignoring brian parks played by arjay smith #he just wasn't part of the triangle

Rough Trade Pop-up. Lomo LC-A+

Legendary independent record shop and label Rough Trade visited Jamaica Street late last year courtesy of design studio Dorothy.

I popped in to have a quick look and regret not buying anything. I hope they visit again soon.
