I was rewatching Gideon Rises and that scene in which he taunts Dipper by saying he has no muscle nor brains to fight back by himself without the Journal's help really gets to me...
And you know what? Ignore Ford's biased by society's expectations on a 1960's man: Dipper's greatest strenght was NEVER his brains.
I mean, he's incredibly smart, there's no doubt. But Gravity Falls is not a place in which you can survive with that alone despite Gideon and Ford saying so.
Dipper's greatest strenght was always the same as Stan: it's how much he loves his family and how far he's willing to go for his sister.
That same love was what made him stand up to the weirdness in Gravity Falls and always find a way out countless times. It's the reason he could sacrifice things for Mabel again and again and never once feel like she was in debt. The reason he could rescue her from Bill's perfect prison in Mabeland and EVEN THE REASON FORD WAS STILL HERE FOR WEIRDMAGEDDON.
The only thing able to subdue Dipper's very naturally human fear of death was his love for his new great uncle.
On a parallel note, Ford's strenght was actually the same as Mabel all along. His love for the unconventional and ability to think outside the box.
The same episode Mabel meets her favorite magical creature and finds out they're an asshole we get the flashback of Ford experiencing the exact same thing.
It's fall. Time to reread Temptation on the Warfront by alizarincrims0n by ao3
I need more angry Merlin! I need Merlin to accidentally reveal his magic, expecting Arthur to lash out and feel betrayed. I need Arthur to tell Merlin he knew the whole time. I need Merlin to pause, to process what he just said. I need Merlin to realize what he's sacrificed to keep his secret while Arthur let him. I need Merlin to be the one to lash out and tell him this. I need Merlin to be the one to feel betrayed. Arthur knew and he let Merlin continue to lie to him and believe that Arthur hated him. Arthur didn't tell him he knew all in the name of "trust" and "letting Merlin decide when it was best to tell him". I need Merlin to break down at this. How could Arthur not realize how much it hurt Merlin to lie!? How could he be okay with the betrayal while not processing the consequences of that betrayal!? For a good cause or not!? I need Merlin to scream.
me and the girls waiting for ao3 to return from war
Kermit for pope
I was trying to find out if Kermit was eligible to be pope and I found a blog that says he's the perfect example of a catholic priest
I want a fic where Leon knew Merlin had magic almost the whole time! At least after the first Round Table episode with all the other knights!
Leon who knew the whole time and still respected Merlin, if not more
Leon who also knew Merlin was tragically in love with Arthur and would do anything for him
Leon who really thought "poetry" meant "we're secretly lovers" but still never mentioned Merlin’s secret
Leon who got a laugh out of Dragoon when he stepped all over the knights!
It would just be so good and funny pleaseeee
Okay I'm listening to Phantom of the Opera and we definitely need a phantom hannibal au. If it already exists can I please get recs?
Like literally:
That's the most Hannibal thing ever
I just need someone who loves classics as much as I do. Who is as enthralled with the idea of reading out loud to someone you love as much as I am. Like??? Getting to read to someone I love? Getting to read out loud? Listening to someone I love read? And we're both genuinely interested and having a good time! Whyyy is it not normalized?
And hand written love letters! And just old school, romantic love. Like really old school. Bring me flowers with secret meanings. Kiss my hand before my mouth. Chase after me without harassing me! Care about the little things! And let us read to each other!
I like that Gravity Falls is getting a Marauders style redemption arc. It's all about Ford and Stan and Fiddleford and Bill with hints of boyish Dan and Young Lazy Susan and I love it. I love it. The multishiping the major angst the character exploration. 10/10
I finished my essay. It's the worst thing I've ever written. I wanted to be rewarded with fanfiction but ao3 is still down. Might cry. Might scream. I need my sad brothers and angsty relationships.
Need to write an essay. I was reading stangst instead. Now ao3 is down. I should be glad I can write my essay without temptation of distraction but I'm just sad. I don't have an excuse for procrastination anymore.
Pretty much I'm pretending to be a poet but really I'm just obsessed with stuff. she/her.. 18 (1-19-07).. ENFP
