Details in Stan's letter that still haunt me

(how long will I continue thinking about a two page letter that's technically not even that long because Stan's handwriting is fricking large? .....you don't need to worry about that.)

The bro code only shows up in the Lost Journal pages, and to me Stan's message feels like it purposely echoes Ford's "miss you" in the college photo (and for some reason the message doesn't appear in the website version of the photo?) ....or alternatively Stan simply noticed how distressed Ford was about this entire thing and wanted to support him in a way so he can be sappy but without the kids knowing, or both!

Stan's claim about the Oregon lottery contradicts what the Lost Legends website said about Tate McGucket's ability to predict the winning numbers!! ...but also breaking into the Lottery HQ is definitely a very Stan thing to do and it's not the first time small gags have been retconned

Despite spending most of his letter nonchalantly destroying him, the taunt about ripping a dollar bill in half is the only part where Stan is directly responding to Bill. Maybe it's the two of them having similar ways of thinking but it's rather specific considering Bill taunts the reader about it...

And after Bill spends an entire book calling Ford Sixer despite normally using a pretty wide range of nicknames for him, Stan then spends his letter mainly referring to Ford as Sixer, even though post-Weirdmageddon he tends to use a mix of nicknames. And it's not like he'd gotten to see Bill himself for long, let alone see him steal that childhood nickname (that is only used twice in the actual show btw!). Did Ford tell him what happened or...?

With all this and the website's "still on your mind" message, what I'm getting at is my tinfoil hat theory of Stan somehow seeing some of the pages the irl readers saw, even when it should be personalised to the specific reader, and he's been lying about it for some reason. Considering that the book flat out doesn't make an attempt at convincing Soos, I find it a stretch that whatever Bill was telling Stan via the book was an attempt to convince him either.

Wouldn't be the first time Stan's skimmed through a book and lied about what it meant to him.

(...Now I kinda wanna see a story about the family reading their versions of the book and making fun of it while Stan is improvising every single one of his pages and blatantly ignoring Bill's attempts to mock and taunt him)

But also I'm fascinated by the letters that only showed up on the website (aka the Soos+Wendy+McGucket+Pacifica ones). I'm assuming that Mabel had stuck them on after Stan's letter... but they were basically eaten by the book itself because seeing Stan's letter kick-started Bill's breakdown which takes up the rest of the book

"Real Boy" and Vil.

This means a lot coming frm Vil, reason 1 is that I literally admire Vil a lot(like how you would admire a real life person), reason 2 is the fact that Vil is a only child.

Most only child's often make assumptions abt siblings that they are 'always together' or 'similar interests' etc.

Vil probably had to take the role of a 'spoiled only child' at some point in his acting career :( And he puts a shit lot of effort into stuff he does, so he probably did some research on how actual siblings interact w/ each other.

Anyways onto the actual topic I'm supposed to be talking abt (everytime i see vil i act like a victorian gentleman seeing ankles for the 1st time and the problem is vil isn't even wearing anything revealing lol)

Vil saying 'Ortho has his own life' is actually really damn important. 1st of all, it's bc in book 6 the robot Ortho & real Ortho's souls merge together, making BOTH Ortho's 'real' in some way or another.

2nd of all, he says this in the Pinocchio inspired event ToT, with the end of the story being Pinocchio becoming a real boy, and in GloMas Idia also gets some sort of development ToTT, I'm interested to see what kind of things will Ortho go through.

okay, it's been 20 years and i never noticed this detail, but that scene in brother bear where denahi says, "i don't blame the bear, kenai". i think for the longest time, i never quite understood why kenai was speechless for a few seconds. i just thought they disagreed about the bear being responsible for sitka's death (obviously, i was just a kid when i watched this movie regularly)

but then i realized, with denahi looking away... he probably meant that he blamed kenai for it. and it makes sense, because throughout the movie kenai implies that he does blame himself for sitka's death, considering he calls the bear - or himself - a "monster". i also considered that maybe denahi didn't actually mean he blamed kenai, but the latter still heard it. not sure which one is the correct interpretation, though i'm assuming the first one is judging by their expressions and body language in their brief silence.

but either way, as i've talked about before, it's so interesting watching how kenai blames himself, yet by projecting that guilt onto his hatred of bears. this movie is so incredibly mature and i think it'll remain one of my favorites from disney.

Tired to death of seeing people say that the new Lion King film is "Fixing the awkward family tree" by making Mufasa and Scar not adopted (i.e. Scar being Nala or Kovu's father in a scenario would be "okay")

We've had this conversation before; Adoption is no less valid a familial connection than blood. Implying that Mufasa and Scar aren't "real brothers" because they were adopted and that their relatives can get together as consequence of this is incredibly tone-deaf to imply that adoption is a "lesser" form of family and therefore can commit incest. And in a movie where the main characters sing a musical numer called "I Always Wanted a Brother," this is just... a really weird takeaway, to put it gently.

And oh-yeah, there's no awkward family tree to begin with, no matter what slop Buzzfeed or Screenrant regurgitates every 2 years: Nala isn't Scar's daughter, (both based on just... basic context in and out of the movie), Kovu isn't Scar's son (based on it having to be said twice in the film).

And also, Mufasa: The Lion King takes place in an alternate universe. Word of mouth from the creators, "It's its own thing." So it would not over-write any of the family trees of the 2D animated movies anyways (that won't stop people from applying headcanons in accordance to the film, but there's the objective fact).

I'm excited for the new movie as well, and I too really like the idea of Mufasa being an orphaned cub, and him and Scar becoming brothers, but if we're going to praise the film/have high hopes for it, can we express them in ways that do not involve bashing the original with baseless critiques and half-truths that have been disproven time and time again? Especially when the topic involves something as sensitive as incest conflated with something as misunderstood and stigmatized as adoption?

GOT BORED SO I DECIDED TO DUB THIS COMIC I LOVE MADE BY @artistdove

And bonus

What (probably) happened to Blotwald after this encounter.

[just-an-enby-lemon]

King Roland is a great father but he is a bad king and a worse friend. He needs a 10yo to help him stop his biases and actually do SOMETHING about his kingdom inequality. And the moment Cedric - that was his friend at the time - makes his first mistake (that wasn’t even his fault) Roland just spends years belitling, mocking and being condescending with the guy until he got anxiety and wws unable to suceed.

So like I disagree with the posts that Cedric is a better dad (she can have two father figures is okay, three because Baileywick) than Roland. But I do think he would be a better king (would he be a good king? Probably not, he has no idea what he would even do after becoming king and a shit ton of untreated anxiety and trauma to bolt, but better than Roland? Sure).

There is so much potential in Patty being included in Sparda family interactions post-DMC 5. Her and Nero will have a chaotic and interesting cousins dynamic. Then there's Vergil having to learn how to be an uncle alongside Dante learning. Then there's Vergil and Dante learning how to be the ultimate dads together after one just found out he has a kid and the other might just (hopefully) be on his way to being more emotionally open and accepting that Patty has adopted him as her dad. There is just so much potential.

SO MUCH POTENTIAL YEAH

Honestly, I've always liked the idea of the twins being forced to ban together to even have a chance at being functional father figures. Vergil has no idea how to respond to ANYTHING Nero does, but Dante known him for 6 years, he can offer some advice. And Vergil can help Dante pull his head out of his ass by being brutally observant and honest with him, it's great. They are both trying to remember how their mom dealt with their stupidity daily when Nero and Patty go do mischievous cousin things together. True sitcom energy.
