in the 30 years ford was stranded outside his home dimension, the stans were forced to take up what the other was naturally inclined towards. ford had to survive: he had to learn how to fight, how to punch; he had to learn to be good at it (stanley was a natural). stanley had to get his brother back: he had to learn how to reopen an interdimensional portal, how to Science; he had to learn to be good at it (ford was a natural).
#gravity falls#stanley pines#stanford pines#pines twins#stan twins#when the trope is-#also this reminds me of drifting star au where mabel and dipper get what the other so desperately wants#mabel wants a normal childhood in high school#dipper wants to explore the paranormal#anyways brain vs brawn lol

i have such a love for characters who descend into madness or villainy out of deep, deep empathy. characters who fundamentally cannot cope with the cruel realities they find themselves in and blow up about it in spectacular fashion. fallen angel type characters with tears of outrage in their eyes. characters who break before they bend, and break so badly they splatter blood all over their noble ideals. every variation on it gets me so good

Too specific of a thing i have in mind bc#I just kept finding similar and related but too broad categories#despair event horizon. fallen hero. well intentioned extremist. etc etc etc#like specifically i'm talking about when the character's EMPATHY is the CRUX of the problem. sosooo crunchyjuicytasty#edit:#also just know that i am reading every tag on this post#and enthusiastically scribbling down the names i dont recognizr#so i can check out their series later#edit 2 wow this post blew up 🫡 godspeed fellow villain likers#the amount of people tagging this as 'me lmao' is concerning to me#wwx#how did i fucking forget this was also yllz era wwx

there really are few emotions i find more compelling in a story than "you should be afraid of me. please don't be afraid of me"

tfw you realize the mortal you where planning on using and discarding, is a little unhinged actually, and matches your freak so you scrap that plan and start planning to rule the universe together
AKA bill realizes Ford "is just like him fr"
The page in The book of Bill that started this nonesense
commission info here
Transcript of text from the page of TBOB under the cut
Text reads: "Unfased, F has been making hot cocoa and welding rivets while playing christmas songs on the radio. (These songs make no sense. Why did Rudolph forgive his tormentors for their mockery of his facial deformity? He should have used his red-hot nose to burn his oppressor's workshop to the ground. A lesson to all!)"

are we still doing this because i have a late submission
#🐉#this is less about fan content and more about that awful lazy one size fits all#'10 years later theyre happily married with a cute little nuclear family' trope#because ive read some genuinely incredible fics about characters who would Not fucking have kids#ending up with accidental pregnancy scares or child acquisitions that get treated with all the nuance#and thoughtful handling they deserve#but also. i reread one of my favourite fics yesterday and when one character jokingly brought up the idea of children#and the other reacted with genuine visceral disgust and said what hideously awful parents theyd be#i lit up like a fucking christmas tree

'Enjoy it despite its flaws' is one thing, but Mass Effect somehow invented its own category: 'simultaneously one of the most flawed and the most well-crafted sci-fi stories I've ever experienced'. These games are incredible. They’re the worst. All the women are sexualized. All the women have deeply flawed and complex personalities without being either demonized or romanticized. The first available f/f ship seems to be written along the guidelines of 'what would a straight man find hot'. As the games go on, they effortlessly include multiple same sex romance options given just as much care and development as the the opposite sex ones. You can play as a xenophobic murderhobo asshole. You can play as someone genuinely caring but also harsh, who inspires growth and co-operation wherever you go but who makes hard choices when you have to. You can kill civilians and punch reporters and commit genocide. You can stop a generational war and mediate peace and save several species from extinction. The robots are stereotypically evil cannon fodder. The robots are deeply complex with a tragic history. Your team mates are assholes with xenophobic opinions or justifications for police brutality and genocide, or they just want excuses to Do Murder. You team mates are deeply flawed and can be urged to grow alongside you. The most important aliens are all humanoids. There are plant aliens and jellyfish aliens and insect aliens and elephant aliens and aliens who can’t share an atmosphere with us. You have to drive around countless identically boring planets with little to show for it. You get to discover hidden secrets and civilisations millions of years old and live through some of the most emotionally harrowing scenes in storytelling history. I am going absolutely insane about it.
#mass effect#up next let me talk about how andromedas biggest flaw (not perceived flaw but ACTUAL flaw) is how it lacks these highs and lows#sure it doesn’t fall into the same problematic tropes as the trilogy sometimes does#but in its fear to take risks it also fails to hit the highs of when the risks pays off#nella talks

I hate the dog-ification of werewolves >:( I by making them happy dumbos it misses the best part of transformative monstrosity: repression. If you aren't afraid of the beast within what's the fucking point. It's the big bad wolf lurking on moonlit nights it's not your golden retriever in the park at noon. Justice for repression!! Justice for the beast within!! Justice for the fear of who you could be if you really let loose! Is the monster your true self? Does the thrill of the wild outweigh the guilt that comes in the light of day, when there's mud on your feet and blood on your hands? What does it mean that you crave that which disgusts you, that the wolf isn't just something you become, it's something you always were
#werewolves#its not that there cant be silly werewolves its just that it lacks narratove oomph without some element of fear!#vampires are still seductive when they get made goofy#fundamentals of horror tropes in monsters should survive when the monster leaves horror

girls who are doomed by the narrative!! girls who have been dead since the beginning. girls who are dragged into death not kicking and screaming but clinging on to the brink until their fingers ache with the weight of the years they’ve stolen. girls who’s every last words are already etched on the stone of an open and waiting grave.

Sterek tropes that I feel don't get enough love:
1. "Oh my God!"
"Derek, actually."
2. "I heard that!"
"You were meant to!"
3. *needy* "Touch me!"
*teasing* "But I am touching you."
4. "So, do werewolves have knots?"
"Do we have what?!"
5. *during sex* "Don't hide your face from me"
6. "You're going to have to use your words"
7. Derek's control slipping slightly during sex and dropping fangs, flashing eyes, and/or growing claws
8. *Stiles pulling clumsily at Derek's clothes in desperation* "Off, off, OFF!"
9. Stiles lacking sexual experience but still somehow being the best sex Derek has ever had because of the ungodly amount of porn Stiles looks at (either recreationally OR for research purposes; but let's be honest, Stiles being good at sex on accident because he's a deviant is objectively funnier)
10. Stiles, with his canonically high libido and sexual stamina: "So, you ready to go again?"
Derek, a werewolf with a supernaturally short refractory period: *out of breath, concerned, and maybe a little scared* "Are you serious?"
11. Derek: I'm not doing that.
[Later]
Derek: *ends up doing it*
EDIT:*
(I can't believe I forgot this one)
12. "Hey! I liked that shirt!"
"I'll buy you a new one."
