The Northwests Are Cannibals Now.

Meant to post this a while ago but couldn't find it. This was just me messing around (I can draw better than this lol)

Jesse would immediately start an investigation (I have proof: s1ep6 A Portal To Mystery)

Petra would be on alert for any threats but wouldn't really care so long as she and her friends were safe.

Lukas would try to find any friends and family of the deceased to tell them about this person's death.

Olivia would also investigate, but she'd be less invested than Jesse.

Axel would go "Sweet! A dead body! Wait, that's not sweet . . ."

Jack would have a breakdown over his old friends.

Radar would freak out and wonder if he was next.

Stella would go, "At least it wasn't me!"

Ivor would want to rob the corpse. Harper would stop him.

Romeo, Cassie, and Hadrian would be the cause of the dead body. Mevia would figure that Hadrian was the cause of the dead body.

Magnus would figure that it's just the consequences of living in a town full of explosion-happy griefers

Ellegaard wouldn't care. She'd go "Oh my, a dead body!" clean it up, and go about her life.

Gabriel would search to bring the killer to justice.

Soren wouldn't care unless it was one of his friends or an Enderman. Alternatively, he would care because it would remind him of Magnus/Ellegaard's death.

still pondering what which character would (hypothetically) do if they found a dead body.

like any idk dawg

#mcsm#mcsm confessions#minecraft story mode#mcsm petra#mod note: where does she use the word moratorium?

In the very first episode, if you lose the building competition and then say “Losing is the worst” or something to that effect, Petra says, “Enough! I’m calling a moratorium on moping!”

I believe “moratorium” means to end something.

I like petra's random use of big words like WTF is a moratorium??

So I'm writing the Half Reversed Reunion AU and I went back to add more stuff but then got distracted making my previous post about the AU and when I went to write it I was greeted with this sentence.

Dipper was sketching on a "Will!"

I’VE ALMOST PASSED 200,000 WORDS ON AO3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (It’s 197,000 right now)

sorry just had to scream into the void for a minute there 😅

One thing I don't really see anyone talking about with regards to Gravity Falls is the parallel's between Ford's apprenticeship and Mabeland. Many, many times, the question has been raised 'should Dipper have accepted Ford's apprenticeship', but no-one ever argues 'should Mabel have stayed in Mabeland', for obvious reasons, the show portrays one as a no-brainer and the other as a complex decision. But I think the two situations parallel one another nicely.

For Dipper, taking Ford's apprenticeship is definitely the more attractive option. He doesn't appear to have a lot of friends in Piedmont, has been historically bullied and may still be, and Dipper generally doesn't want to deal with the trials of growing up. Ford meanwhile, basically treats Dipper like an equal, not like a kid, encourages Dipper, and allows Dipper to pursue his interests to the fullest. However, to take the apprenticeship, Dipper will be cloistering himself in an environment in which he never has to do the things he's scared of, he avoids confronting the realities that he doesn't want to deal with, and he'll miss out on going through life with his sister.

For Mabel, staying in Mabeland is the more attractive option. There's an apocalypse raging outside, her brother is growing away from her, she's going to have to leave friends that it's implied are the best she's ever had, and we know that she too, has been bullied in the past, and may still be, and Wendy's well and truly terrified her about the concept of growing up. In Mabeland however, Mabel can continue to live in a charmed reality, surrounded by the things she's interested in and in an environment where she's constantly being enabled, and any dissenters are ejected. However, to remain in Mabeland, Mabel is cloistering herself in an environment where she never has to do the things she's scared of, she avoids confronting the realities she doesn't want to deal with, and she's pushed away one of the most important parts of her life: her brother.

During Dipper's trial, we as viewers see Mabel's change of heart as Dipper shows her that despite the trials the real world has thrown at both of them, that they've always had each others backs, and Dipper realises that too (there was a really good essay on this a while back by @cryoalliums ). Even though they're both scared, and both wanting to avoid the reality of adolescence and high school and unpredictability, they both realise through Dipper's trial that by burying themselves in their respective fantasies, they'll lose the one person who's always had their back: each other. Whether or not it's bullies or a giant robot, the twins have always had each other as a support system, and an ally, and they both realise during the trial that they'd rather fight by one another's side than hide from their problems.

So sure, Dipper could have taken the apprenticeship. He could have chosen to take the tailor-made, one-on-one advanced education that allowed him to pursue his interests to the fullest. But Mabel could also have chosen to stay in the world surrounded by her interests, where she was safe from the things she wanted to avoid. I think it's interesting that these two situations are so paralleled, and yet it's rarely discussed.

Look guys, its Dipper Pines.

paz school hc post

once pacifica moves out a little after she turns 18, her senior year at the private school her family owns isn't quite finished yet, and they expel her before she can graduate. she ends up having to get her GED later, and while studying for it, she finds out she has a lot of gaps in her education because of how carefully controlled the private school's curriculum was

i think she's pretty good at math and there wouldn't really be a political reason to regulate math so she doesn't have trouble with that subject when she has to study on her own to get her diploma. it's stuff like history and english she has to catch up on

she took grammar lessons for sure but her literature lessons were always on stuff like Shakespeare (worth reading ofc but he has some plays that are very Safe and easy to teach without social ramifications)

and you KNOW her flash cards for studying are all colorful and sparkly and covered in stickers because the pines twins had a hand in making them. i think dipper wrote the cards to begin with so the handwriting is neat and tidy, but after he would write one, he would pass it to mabel and she would decorate it. they do this as a surprise for paz cause they know she has a lot of work to do and when they present the cards to her she has to try not to cry because she loves her friends and she's also been awake for 18 hours

Good news and bad news.

Good news: I finished the next chapter of A Fight To Remember!

Bad news: I want to wait until I've finished the final two chapters to post it.

Potentially good news: I'm going to try and get them finished soon so I can post all three in quick succession, hopefully by the end of the first week of the new year.

Merry one day late Christmas!
