Who Is Your Favorite Drag Queen?

More info on the AU I want to make

After the human (Edby is their name), received the gift of the purple crown from the lamb, they offered to join the lamb on a crusade, witch they acepted. And during the crusade, Edby realized that the lands of the old fate were very f'ed up since the lamb had killed the bishops. And they wanted to fix it, so after asking Narinder about this sort of thing (this is post game), they tryed to resurect Leshy the youngest of the bishops, and almost died in the proces when the lamb see's what is going on (the lamb did not know about any of this until now) and saved Edby. Evan though they were almost out cold, the ritual was a succes, and Leshy was resurected (much smaller then he was before though, just the slightest bit taller then a averge follower). Fortunetly, Edby was able to explane what they did and why so a fight did't start. And after a little bit of convincing, Leshy was on board. Also I finaly named it, This will be called "The Second Chance" AU

Mystery kids vs Mickey Mouse

Lili: Okay. How do you take out an evil dictator?

Norman: We… Cut off their resources?

Lili: *Writes that down* Okay, that’s good. What are Mickey’s resources?

Wybie: His long-time fans, influence over young girls who enjoy princesses, his cruise ships, game shows, Marvel and Star Wars geeks, and Fox.

Lili: Fox?

Wybie: Fox. I don’t even think they can curse anymore.

Lili: … Okay, we need to take this bastard out right now!

Raz: Let’s just shoot him!

Dipper: You think it’s that easy? No, he’ll just come back stronger than ever. We need to get rid of him the same way they did Walt Disney.

Mystery Kids: …

Coraline: No… No, that’s just a myth.

Mabel: We’ve been on the inside long enough to know that it’s not a myth. Walt Disney’s body is being preserved in his statue.

Coraline: So we’re really gonna freeze Mickey?

Dipper: It’s our only option! We need to get rid of him permanently.

Neil: How would we even do it?

Dipper: The company wants to look progressive in order to erase the… Ugliness back when Disney was still new.

Wybie: You mean like that movie with the rabbit who was just a metaphor for slavery?

Dipper: Yeah, that’s the one.

Wybie: And the deleted scene with the black centaur girl?

Dipper: Yes.

Wybie: And the crows?

Dipper: That too.

Wybie: Those Siamese cats, romanticizing Pocahontas and John Smith, What Made the Red Man Red?

Dipper: Yes, all of that. Well, I say we do something a little drastic.

Neil: You mean we find those lost tapes and threaten to air them unless Mickey comes here to “meet our demands” and that’s when we freeze him?

Mystery Kids: …

Dipper: … Y-yeah, basically. Let’s go find those tapes.

Happy 23rd Birthday, Dipper and Mabel!

I was in a mood to draw something from my Wonderland AU, and ended up wondering how grown-up Victorian-esque Dipper and Mabel might look.

Do you think Mabel gets too much hate? I noticed when a female character acts selfish she gets hated on but when a male character does the same it’s praised

We’re free to love or hate any character with or without reason. That said, I feel sad seeing Mabel hate and agree Mabel receives too much hate. I feel like the rhetoric claiming she’s unforgivably selfish is skewed. I think people have decent criticisms regarding Mabel’s character and how she’s presented. However, I don’t think they sufficiently describe the full picture.

Anecdotally, I don’t think this is a case of sweeping sexism because Ford also receives more criticism than I think warranted. My perspective on how much hate each character proportionately receives could be incomplete, though.

But anyway. Let’s talk Mabel.

First though: please don’t try to debate this with me. If you don’t like my opinion, no worries. That’s chill. I’m just not interested in using my recreation time debating this. Thanks! :) However, if you want further clarifications, analyses, case studies, etc. I’m happy to talk more, because this is NOWHERE close to exhausting my thoughts on this topic.

Mabel’s Selfishness: The General Critique

I think everyday anti-Mabel criticism tends to use points like:

When other characters act selfishly, they’re called out and the narrative punishes them. But when Mabel wants something, she gets it, and it’s a reward (The Deep End, The Time Traveler’s Pig, Escape from Reality).

Mabel never learns how to give up something important and deal with that loss. Even when she lets something go, it’s not something that would have been good in her life. For instance, her failed puppet performance is “dodging a bullet” rather than losing something meaningful, since Gabe’s just a puppet kisser. In the end, she doesn’t have to live with sacrifice (Boyz Crazy, Sock Opera).

Mabel even selfishly causes the apocalypse by giving Bill the rift. She’s never held responsible for that (Dipper and Mabel vs the Future).

The narrative reinforces that Mabel is a good person even when she’s not (The Last Mabelcorn).

People particularly look at Mabel in S2 over S1; many claim that’s when her character began to feel selfish and insufferable. 

This isn’t everything, but I have tried to characterize the rhetoric fairly based upon what I’ve seen.

I find these discussion points understandable. Mabel can be self-focused and sometimes ignores others’ feelings. Alex Hirsch admitted in DVD commentaries that he focused on Dipper learning lessons because he put himself in Dipper’s shoes. And some of Alex’s writing intentions could’ve been clearer, like instances where the twins resolve conflicting desires. We could talk about how the show could be improved or the character is legitimately not-selfless.

At the same time, I think how fandom uses these talking points isn’t 100% fair to Mabel’s character or the show’s full narrative. 

I want to point out that Mabel hate for her selfishness covers two fronts: one claim that Mabel is selfish, and another claim that the surrounding plot doesn’t handle her selfishness satisfactorily. I think there’s fair constructive criticism when it comes to narrative framing (even if I disagree), but I don’t think the same dialogue is good rationale against Mabel’s personality. At times I see the two concepts conflated. The narrative may annoy you if you think selfishness isn’t addressed in plot, and contribute to you disliking the character, but claiming “Mabel is selfish” because of that is flawed logic. 

In this analysis, I’ll cover both fronts. I’ll tackle the four points I mentioned above and explain why I find them too harsh. I’m not going to cover all my thoughts (yes, my original draft was longer!!), but I will argue:

Mabel reverses her selfishness - and that’s the big choice sealing the climax of multiple episodes. She doesn’t get off “consequence free” either (Boyz Crazy, Sock Opera)

Mabel sacrifices for others. The narrative does show that Dipper and Mabel meet in the middle, not that Dipper feels guilty enough to ameliorate his sister’s wishes (Sock Opera, Escape from Reality)

Mabel giving the rift to “Blendin” mirrors Dipper offering a puppet to Bill. Both twins are emotionally compromised and believe they’re making a harmless deal with an inconsequential item. Neither would’ve made these choices in calmer circumstances. Sock Opera doesn’t have Dipper deal with his culpability; relax up on Mabel (Sock Opera, Dipper and Mabel vs the Future)

Mabel’s selfishness is addressed, handled, and resolved. The moral of The Last Mabelcorn isn’t defending Mabel’s goodness; it’s Mabel embracing imperfection. Mabel learns she’s a bad person and changes her perspective of herself multiple times in canon (The Last Mabelcorn, Lost Legends)

I could also have talked about how selfishness isn’t required to be resolved in her character arc, all the times Mabel does nice things for others, how she doesn’t always obnoxiously hog the spotlight, and other things, but I want to cap the length of this essay.

So let’s begin.

Can Mabel learn from selfishness if she’s consequence-free and never handles meaningful loss?

Anti-Mabel Argument: Circumstances don’t adversely affect Mabel. This means she never has to sacrifice for her brother like Dipper does for her. For instance, in Sock Opera, Mabel sees that Gabe is a weirdo over-obsessed with puppets. Her failed puppet performance was “dodging a bullet” rather than losing something meaningful, so she doesn’t learn true self-sacrificial love. Mabel never learns how to give something important up and deal without it. So, she never changes.

Two weeks since this queen was released on shopdisney.com. Thank you to everyone who was open to this new version of Snow White and the inspiration behind the design. Thank you to everyone that has added this doll to their collection. It truly means the world to me to see her finding a home out there in the world. #disneydesignercollection #snowwhite #thankyou 👑🍎👑 This was the first collection ever that used designers from all over the globe. Each adding their unique version of what they thought the character that inspired them might wear to a modern fashion gala. Working from home gave each designer an opportunity to design a truly unique look and feel as we had no idea what the other designers were working on. The result is a one of a kind, eclectic mix of style and inspiration I feel honored to have been a part of. ❤️
