what about mabel my friend mabel
This panel always kills me
because, like, the first thought is no, they do not, the babies are doomed by the narrative and their lives will soon enough be ruined by the many issues that are already festering, even when they think everything's fine. But they don't know and are both filled with so much optimism, which is the tragedy of it all.
But also the next panel is like "well, at some point they do decide to adventure for the rest of their lives. So it's a happy ending and everything is fine". Completely ignoring the elephant in the room that is 40 years of these boys' lives lol
The image you see is not from a war movie. It's a real X-ray of a Palestinian child. A sniper's bullet pierced her skull. This was not an accident. It was a calculated shot — to the head. How many children must bleed before the world opens its eyes?
I see this, and I tremble. Because I, too, am a mother. My own child is injured. He cries every night from pain. He needs urgent medical care — but we are trapped under siege, under fear, under silence.
How long before my son becomes another X-ray? Another hashtag? Another number?
If you're reading this, you have power — power to share, power to donate, power to care.
Help me get my son out. Help save him before it’s too late. Gaza’s children are not targets. They are lives. They are futures. Please don’t look away

Brandon Sanderson said that the purpose of a storyteller is not to tell you how to think, but to give you questions to think upon, and this is exactly the mindset I use when writing my own novels AND when dissecting my relationship with stories - most recently Gravity Falls, but also stories like Mistborn and Eragon.
The reason why answering what the meaning of life is is so hard is because it's different for every individual: You have to find it, nobody can tell you.
This is why fandoms are so cool; people all have slightly different versions of characters that are important to them. Storytellers put something out there, but us, the listeners, we create what we need from what is given. And that is absolutely beautiful.
So a toast to fandom and all the creativity and self discovery it cultivates.
one thing that's always really stuck with me about this is... yes some galaxies have star clusters in their center but... some have a black hole in their center. ford you're fucking cooked either way.
pre-betrayal your life revolved around your love for him, post-betrayal your life revolved around your hate for him. who are you without a life dedicated to him? what does a galaxy do when it has nothing to orbit?
the "I'M STILL ON YOUR MIND" part from thisisnotawebsite has always been haunting to me for this reason, it makes this stuck point palpable. ford leaned over the side of the boat, staring at the water, stan chattering in the background but we can barely make out what he's saying, presumably because ford isn't really listening, too in his own head with thoughts of bill. and since the hidden code gives us more insight into bill's childhood, he's presumably thinking about him in a positive or melancholy way, rather than a hateful one.
even when ford is free, even when ford has everything he's ever wanted, even when ford has won, he's still lost.
been tough for me to draw anything lately. Even this is an artstyle (Robert Valley) study for college signature assignment
Wait wait wait, so you're telling me, that not only did Stan win the Tumblr Sexyman contest on Weed Day, BUT HE ALSO SOMEHOW KILLED THE FUCKING POPE?!
