Ch 28: To the Moon Verse 1
Erzabet finds Tailor sitting alone, deep in thought, and walks up to them. She crosses her arms and raises an eyebrow. "So, Tailor," she says, "are you still planning on chasing after the ones controlling the zombies?"
Tailor looks up, their eyes filled with determination. "Yes," they reply firmly. "But there's something else. Something bigger."
Erzabet tilts her head, curious. "What do you mean?" she asks.
Tailor takes a deep breath. "When we found the satellite phone," they begin, "we received a call from someone on the moon. They called themselves Major Tom."
Erzabet's eyes widen in surprise. "Major Tom?" she repeats, a hint of recognition in her voice. "Like the David Bowie song?"
Tailor nods. "Exactly," they say. "But Major Tom is more than just a reference. They're an advanced AGI, a childlike intelligence that has taken over the moon base."
Erzabet looks intrigued. "So, what does this Major Tom want?" she asks.
Tailor sighs. "They need help," they say. "But to reach them, we'd have to get to the moon."
Erzabet scoffs. "The moon?" she says incredulously. "That sounds impossible."
Tailor smiles wryly. "It may seem impossible," they say, "but think about everything we've already faced. We've survived the apocalypse, confronted zombies, and toppled a corrupt council. We're capable of more than we realize."
Erzabet crosses her arms, her expression thoughtful. "You may have a point," she admits. "But how do we even begin to get to the moon?"
Tailor's eyes sparkle with determination. "We'll figure it out," they say. "We'll gather resources, find allies, and build a plan. If there's a way to reach Major Tom and help them, we have to try."
Erzabet studies Tailor for a moment, then sighs. "You're relentless, aren't you?" she says. "Always chasing after the next adventure."
Tailor grins. "I can't help it," they say. "There's always more to discover, more to fight for."
Erzabet shakes her head, but there's a hint of a smile on her lips. "Fine," she says. "Count me in. I can't resist a good challenge."
Tailor's face lights up with excitement. "Great!" they exclaim. "We'll need all the help we can get."

Does Sherrie exist in the jersey boy universe (sorry if Sherrie does in fact exist and I somehow glazed over it)? Asking because I know that the fic itself is leading up to the events of gravity falls (the yellow eyes, fidds’ eventual memory gun with the typing mechanics, etc)
I also wonder—what’s your take on Fidds’ nervousness that ford mentions in the third journal in the context of jersey boy? Not the social anxiety aspect but Fidds unlikelyness to be wreckless during his first few years in gravity falls. Would love to hear your take!
i just realized i never answered this, so sorry, I know this is super late. In the fic, Shermie is a baby (in line with the Shermie is a baby theory, just because if he wasn't the baby I figured I'd need to make him more incorporated into Ford's backstory, and I did not want to do that).
Regarding Fiddleford, I view Fiddleford in J3 less as someone who isnt reckless and more as someone who doesn't wanna fuck with the supernatural.
Like, Fiddleford is okay with drinking the alien milk (yee haw) but less so is inclined to, say, summon a demon, or wake the gremoblin.

I think they're closer than that, it's supposed to be something you wouldn't expect to happen a lot, that still happens A LOT. Once or twice or even ten times, sure. But it happens so often that "if you had a nickel for every time it happened, you could buy a house". P&F took it One Step Beyond, by taking the specificity and unlikelyness to the extreme, and adjusting the number down to match.
It's still kinda wild how Phineas and Ferb managed to completely hijack an idiom. Now whenever someone hears a sentence leading with "If I had a nickel for everytime [...]", odds are their brain auto fills with "I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice," rather than "I'd be rich," or "I could [action that requires purchasing something requiring an obscene amount of money]". Y'know, what the idiom originally was

13 Famous Poems About Family Love
Family love, a universal and enduring theme, has inspired poets for centuries. It is one of the most profound and complex relationships that literature can explore. The love within a family encompasses unconditional support, sacrifice, understanding, and even conflict. This article will delve into thirteen famous poems that explore the multifaceted nature of family love. Through these poems, we’ll analyze how poets capture the essence of familial bonds and their impact on individuals and society.
1. “The Mother” by Gwendolyn Brooks
Gwendolyn Brooks’ The Mother is a poignant reflection on the sacrifice and sorrow of motherhood. The poem explores the feelings of regret and loss a mother experiences, addressing the complexity of love in the context of family.
“You will never know the unlikelyness of it: The seething, the sobbing, the terrible being.”
In The Mother, Brooks explores the emotional turmoil a mother goes through in a painful context of love. The speaker reflects on a lost child, symbolizing both personal grief and the deep bond of motherly love that is irrevocable. The poem reveals the sacrifices that parents often make, even when they face difficult and sorrowful circumstances. Brooks captures the complexity of motherhood, presenting it as an intense, all-consuming love that is interwoven with guilt, memory, and regret.
2. “Those Winter Sundays” by Robert Hayden
In Those Winter Sundays, Robert Hayden explores the often overlooked love of a father for his family. The poem’s speaker recalls how his father would rise early on cold Sundays to prepare the house for the family, an act of quiet and unspoken love.
“Sundays too my father got up early and put his clothes on in the blue-black cold, then with cracked hands that ached from labor in the weekday weather made banked fires blaze. No one ever thanked him.”
Hayden’s poem speaks to the unacknowledged, everyday sacrifices parents make for their children. The speaker, now grown, reflects with regret on his inability to recognize or appreciate his father’s acts of love. This poem captures the often hidden nature of parental love, one that is not always recognized until later in life. The speaker’s regret also emphasizes the idea that love within a family, while constant, can sometimes be overlooked.
3. “A Family” by Carol Ann Duffy
Carol Ann Duffy’s A Family addresses the complexities and nuances of family life. The poem is an exploration of love, tension, and the dynamics that define familial relationships.
“This is the family, each one a room, where one sleeps, another wakes, and in the corner, a photograph, the memory of things we once loved.”
Duffy’s poem presents a family as a metaphor for rooms—spaces filled with memories, emotions, and unspoken connections. The image of the photograph is crucial in symbolizing the delicate, sometimes fragile nature of family love. Duffy touches on the idea that family love, while constant, often resides in unspoken gestures and the quiet, everyday moments that may go unnoticed.
4. “The Gift” by Li-Young Lee
In The Gift, Li-Young Lee writes about the gift of love, passed from one generation to the next. This poem explores the relationship between the speaker and his father, as well as the broader sense of family love that extends beyond individual acts.
“And I am asking, why did you wait, father, to give me the love I could never have enough of, when I was a child, the love I never knew to ask for?”
Lee’s poem is a meditation on the love that a parent gives, not always in ways that children can fully understand at the time. The father’s gift of love is described as a silent, nurturing presence—one that shapes the child’s understanding of the world. The gift of family love is given without condition, and though the child may not fully grasp it in their youth, it is ultimately a foundational and transformative force. The poem’s focus on the passage of time highlights the enduring nature of familial love.
5. “The Family” by Claude McKay
Claude McKay’s The Family explores the connections between family members, particularly in the context of a broader, more communal sense of love. McKay examines the bond that exists between family and heritage.
“Oh, I am heir to countless things, To generations who, unseen, Still live and live in me, and cling To me, their shadowy, loving Queen.”
In this poem, McKay invokes a sense of lineage and ancestral love, emphasizing the generational nature of family connections. The idea of being “heir to countless things” speaks to the deep, generational love that flows through families, often unnoticed but always present. The poem suggests that the love passed down through the generations is a sustaining force, providing both guidance and comfort to the individual.
6. “A Poem for My Sister” by Liz Lochhead
Liz Lochhead’s A Poem for My Sister reflects the bond between siblings, offering a glimpse into the emotional intricacies of family relationships. It’s a poem that celebrates the unique and sometimes challenging aspects of sisterhood.
“You are the one who stood beside me, all through the storm, and kept me warm.”
Lochhead’s poem highlights the emotional support that siblings provide one another. The bond between sisters is portrayed as steadfast, comforting, and deeply protective. The simplicity of the language, paired with the emotional weight of the sentiments, captures the intimacy of sibling relationships. This poem exemplifies the nurturing and enduring love that is often a quiet, invisible force between family members.
7. “To My Mother” by Edgar Allan Poe
Edgar Allan Poe’s To My Mother is a beautiful tribute to the speaker’s mother, a reflection on the enduring love and selfless sacrifice she made for him. The poem conveys both admiration and sorrow.
“Because I feel that, in the Heavens above, The angels, whispering to one another, Can find, among their burning terms of love, None so devotional as that of ‘Mother’.”
Poe’s idealization of the mother figure is evident in this poem. He elevates the maternal bond to a divine status, suggesting that the love of a mother is unparalleled by any other. The poem also conveys the deep gratitude and reverence the speaker feels toward his mother, celebrating her sacrificial love. Poe’s treatment of the mother as a sacred and irreplaceable figure captures the reverence with which family love is often regarded.
8. “The Lullaby” by W. H. Auden
W. H. Auden’s The Lullaby examines the protective, calming nature of a mother’s love. The poem, written as a lullaby, highlights the quiet, nurturing presence a mother offers to her child.
“Lay your sleeping head, my love, Human on my faithless arm; Time and fevers burn away Individual beauty from Thoughtful children, love, but you Untouched by time, and pain, and age.”
In The Lullaby, Auden conveys the mother’s love as timeless and immune to the effects of time. The speaker reassures the child of their safety and unconditional love. This love is portrayed as unchanging, enduring beyond physical or emotional distress. Auden’s choice of language, rich in tenderness, reinforces the idea of parental love as an eternal, soothing force.
9. “Father and Son” by Cat Stevens (Song Lyric)
Though a song rather than a traditional poem, Father and Son by Cat Stevens poignantly explores the generational tension and love between a father and son. The dialogue between the two voices reveals the complexities of familial bonds, especially in the context of conflicting desires and expectations.
“It’s not time to make a change, Just sit down, take it slowly, You’re still young, that’s your fault, There’s so much you have to go through.”
This song illustrates the father’s protective love for his son, offering advice and guidance. It also highlights the son’s desire for independence and the emotional strain that arises from the father’s overbearing affection. The song is a realistic portrayal of the push and pull that often occurs in family relationships, particularly between parents and children as they navigate the transition from dependence to independence.
10. “My Family” by Elizabeth Jennings
Elizabeth Jennings’ My Family reflects on the importance of familial love in the face of external challenges. The poem highlights the stability and comfort that family provides, offering refuge from the outside world.
“They are my people, they are my tribe, They stand by me through thick and thin, The warmth of home, the heart’s eternal rhythm, They never let me fall or fail.”
Jennings’ poem captures the constancy of family love in a way that feels reassuring and affirming. Her portrayal of family as a solid, unshakeable unit speaks to the idea that family provides a sense of belonging and stability. It’s an intimate portrayal of how familial love offers both literal and emotional shelter.
11. “A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man” by James Joyce
James Joyce’s A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is a novel rather than a traditional poem, but it contains numerous poetic reflections on family, particularly in the relationship between the protagonist, Stephen Dedalus, and his parents.
“His mother… it was the last time he would see her,
and the last time he would speak to her as a child.”
Joyce’s exploration of family love revolves around the tension between duty and freedom. The protagonist’s relationship with his mother represents the pull of familial ties and the desire to break free. The emotional and intellectual journey of Stephen Dedalus is one of both love and distance from his family. Joyce encapsulates the inner conflict that arises when a person grows apart from familial expectations to forge their own path.
12. “Little Boy Crying” by Mervyn Morris
Mervyn Morris’ Little Boy Crying examines the complex relationship between a parent and child. It portrays the emotions involved in discipline, love, and the protective instinct that parents feel.
“Cry, little boy, cry. Then you will feel, my love, The sting of a parent’s heart.”
Morris’ poem delves into the emotional toll of disciplining a child. The tension between love and the need to set boundaries is palpable. The poem speaks to the depth of a parent’s love, which can be expressed not only in affection but in guidance and correction. The complexity of family love is captured in the emotional nuances of this experience.
13. “The Night Before Christmas” by Clement Clarke Moore
Finally, The Night Before Christmas by Clement Clarke Moore has become an iconic representation of family love in the holiday context. The poem captures the excitement and joy of Christmas Eve, bringing the family together in a shared moment of anticipation and celebration.
“The children were nestled all snug in their beds, While visions of sugarplums danced in their heads.”
Moore’s poem conveys the warmth and joy of family love during the Christmas season. The cozy imagery evokes the safety, happiness, and togetherness that family provides during the holidays. The poem captures the magic of family traditions and the shared love that binds people together during special moments.
Conclusion
Family love is a multifaceted theme that poets have long explored in various ways, from the quiet sacrifices of parents to the tumultuous dynamics between siblings and children. Through these thirteen poems, we see how family love can be both nurturing and challenging, often expressing itself in subtle and profound ways. Each poet adds their unique voice to the broader conversation about familial bonds, offering insights that resonate across cultures and generations. Whether it’s the selfless love of a mother, the protective guidance of a father, or the enduring bond between siblings, these poems serve as a reminder of the deep emotional ties that form the foundation of family life.

TSAMS screwed up message that only unlikelyable people are abusers
When the majority of victims are actually unlikeable people of course it's a good possibility they would keep appeasing all the sun fans and keep nitpicking stuff to make moon seem like the abusive one and now they had the added nerve to go if you are across bad you are bad til the ""good" people comes and fixes you

I mean, they did defy the odds when tying for the queer book character contest at exact 50/50. So if someone was going to ignore the unlikelyness of dying at the exact same time, it would be them.
Neil and Andrew both die of old age together at the same time and that's the only thing I'm willing to except, one of them dies BEFORE THE OTHER??? Nu uh not happening don't wanna think about how the other would react so I shall be delusional.

low doesnt mean 0
By: J
Cw; denouncing (the christian one specifically) god.
Religion (its entirely about me and my mothers fights about religion)
Probablt dont read this if you’re religious, or do, your life.
your proof of a god- starts and ends at my birth- and his death
“your chances were so low they mightve well have been 0” “its near impossible that you were born perfectly healthy” -except i wasnt, it was 14% chance, not 0% there was still a chance- if theres a ball to gamble, then theres always going to be some kind out outcome, no matter the unlikelyness of it all.
“What do i have to do to prove to you that theres a god”
change the past, change the past,
“you have no proof that hes not real”
if “he” were, why can i not see? why did that happen? why is life the way it is?
“If he isnt real then how did XXXX happen?”
because. there was the physical possibility, just as everything else, there was the possibility to become whatever i call myself at this point in time, there was the possibility to meet the people in my life, there was the possibility to be happy. My so called “luck” has nothing to do with it, your so called “god” has nothing to do with it, to be harsh, however, “everyone is unique” sure, lets go with that, youd say the exact same line with any other people- as long as they were vagely good people, even if they werent, you said it still then. “The you dont value them” i love them, no matter what? of course i don’t believe that they’re replaceable, ive already learned, however, theres no such thing as “the perfect friend group” for anyone, sure, some can be much better or worse, but as you said “everyone is unique” so, if theyre all different, you cant compare then to each other- theyre separate people, with completely different lives, you, as an outsider in my life, have no say of whos better in my life or not.
If your so called “god” is real, then why is this low-end still manipulating me? -次
(funny thing, i wrote so many more tags than whats showing up- apparently theres a tag limit!)
#A little treat for the people who scroll through my blog since im not linking this to anywhere#yes i put j/次 in twice. its because how i format. this was supposed to be a drabble in my notes app. sometimes i just need to have it wrote#that i wrote it. to feel real or whatever#fun ish fact! there was a low % of me being born. and my mother loooves using that as a “god is real” argument.#literally ignoring what a % means. like maybe id vagely believe you if it was 0 but it wasnt??#sho if your some how reading this#Hi#and sen whos probably reading this?#Hi bae#god theres so much shit on my mother that i could just expose#yk might make a thing on that. itd be funny#(chill she ruined my entire and i mean literally my entire life. i couldnt give a damn about her feelings. she deserves it)#why do my fingers smell like caramel atm??????#ive just been laying in bed??? we dont even have caramel????#god i love ranting in the tags#did you guys know that im veeeery gay and have a crush on [redacted]?#yk what might aswell post my life update in the tags#Tw! my entire life#basically i have a crush on one if my friends. which is already painful enough for me bc my mother teases me about if i do and i keep sayin#that i dont bc i didnt. and i do now so i cant let that slip. anyways. theyve been showing up in my dreams more and more. literally this#and its kinda embarrassing? bc i really hate being in love (ik shock to someone probably) its bothered me allll of my life#and usually id just yk ~confess~ and get the feeling to go away over time#but it isnt going away and no way in hell am i telling them bc yk. were friends. and i sure as hell dont wanna ruin that or make them#uncomfy. so whenever i talk to them i feel all weird bc yk. i dont wanna fuck up and flirt with them or smth (even more annoying bc i#normally flirt with my friends even if i dont like them romantically) so i just dk what to say to them. bc i obviously wanna talk to them#but i get a pit in my stomach. weve talked for months idk why i feel like this now#plus idk how to get rid of the feeling. someone just bash my head in already please.#[redacted] im so sorry. for everything (shut up with the “you did nothing wrong” idc if i did or not) (scratch that. it goes for everyone)#the urge to post my main on this is consuming me but i wont bc… well uh 🧍 ~things~#J’s misc shit
