Real picture of my parents (no fake)

powder x ekko is cute tho. really cute two nerds, who would have made a really cute couple in au. but jinx? jinx is jinx. a queen of disaster. the way ekko feels about her is full of grief, mourning the loss of what could have been. "in another universe" kind of thing.

for silco, she was perfect. two fucking freaks, destined to destroy each other. one raising the other, watering the poison flower rather than cutting it. for silco, the poison flower was still a flower. even after the flower grew tall until it bloomed and the poison eventually killed him. he knew that the flower was poisonous, yet he loved it. no one except silco would have watered the poisonous little flower. carrying the burden of poison kept her awake at night, hearing whispers and climbing to his bed for silence. she didn't want to poison the only one, who went down with her poison. but what can she do? she is born poisonous. she is jinx.

first of all, YOOOOOOOOOOOO DOUGLAS SPRITE HE IS A CHARACTER AT LAST!!!!!!!!!!

Love the implication that it's because Renee loves and cares about him. To their children, he is not a real person.

(tbf, he calls Andrew the wrong name so yeah can't blame him)

But more importantly, just as the beginning of the episode gives us an insight of Douglas' parents (overbearing sexist father, meek mother), this vision fleshes out both parents but especially Renee's family situation.

At 15, her parents gave her the ultimatum of either aborting or being kicked out. She chose her boyfriend over her family: they married, and stuck together no matter what. This already says a lot about her.

It's clear that part of this virulent hatred she's showing is not just because she, understandably, is bitter about not receiving support, but because part of her parents' worries ended up being right. Sure, Douglas is not an abusive asshole, and it's touching how much she defends him as much as he defends her. But raising children is much harder than she apparently thought. Look at how much she lies to her mom that they're doing swell. No way she's going to bitch about Ashley to her mom :)

The fact that Renee was kicked out might also explain part of her atittude towards her kids. She's not kicking them out, not even when Ashley became of age and was still a problem for her. Sure, she urges her to find a job, but in a more "normal" way. She's not going to put them through that. Although, of course, she expects to be thanked profusely for that.

Funnily enough, I think this cements for me that, despite Andrew seeing himself in his father, he's more like his mother, while Ashley might be more similar to the dad. Renee's main concern is, much like Andrew, appearances. She doesn't want to be remembered as the mom of two killers. She doesn't want to admit she screwed up by having kids so young. She lies and lies to pretend everything is fine and they're all a happy family. Douglas, on the other hand, is so apathetic that he accidentally echoes Ashley's complete lack of care for consequences. "welp, it's bad, but they're kids." I think this is ultimately why Ashley has Douglas' eyes and Andrew has Renee's eyes.

Oh! And, according to Renee, Andrew is "Accident" and Ashley is "Mistake". Makes sense. Andrew was most likely not wanted. But since he was a good kid, they chose to have Ashley... and Renee is regretting it every day.

istg i'll see ppl say shit like "im fine with media depicting abuse/rape/whatever as long as it isnt glorifying/romanticizing it" then turn around and say cannibalism is a metaphor for love and that murder conveys devotion. i hate to inform you but youre romanticizing violence

I find it incredibly hilarious that there's so much ship discourse in the gravity falls fandom regarding more controversial ships with people arguing shit like "alex hirsch would hate you" meanwhile-

He does not give 2 shits about any shipping discourse, like these are literally his responses to getting asked questions like this, please stop dragging him into this

El mod de Renee y Andrew no tiene sentido y voy a explicar el porqué.

He leído el reporte del mod de estos dos y aunque el escritor tiene una base esta no basta como justificación. Esto no se trata sólo de quitar de en medio a Ashley y al Sr. Graves que son los únicos seres más importantes en la vida de los involucrados sino que todo el episodio 1 de TCOAAL ocurre porque Renee VENDIÓ a sus hijos.

Por lo tanto no tiene sentido que Andrew y ella acaben encerrados en ese edificio si el esposo es feliz y no fue él ni Ashley quien los vendió. Además, ¿por qué lo haría el esposo? Si es feliz lejos de Renee y es un hombre sin ambiciones, además de que Ashley no tendría mente para una venganza como tal. Ella es más directa, no dudaría un instante en "salvar" a su hermano yendo directo al edificio.

ESE ES EL MAYOR FALLO DEL MOD.

Y por el cual no tiene sentido. Sin mencionar que es muy ooc que Andrew no haya planeado asesinar a Renee teniendo en cuenta que le quitó a su amada hermana, por mucho que le haya afectado el asesinato de Nina, ANDREW NO QUERÍA QUE LO SEPARARAN DE ASHLEY.

Y el que Renee los separase le generaría un ODIO INMENSO hacia la causante de su separación.

El verdadero Andrew estaría perdiendo los estribos con su madre cada segundo y en algún punto él mismo la ASESINARÍA o por lo menos se ALEJARÍA de ella. Joder, un verdadero fan del juego comprendería eso. Y dudo que el escritor del mod se atreva a esa realidad ya que se le nota la preferencia que le tiene a Renee (porque no, ningún integrante de la familia Graves tiene "cualidades redentoras", mucho menos Renee que es el origen de todo lo que está mal en esa familia, es la que menos de hecho).

Además las acciones de Renee en el mod siguen siendo una copia barata de Ashley por más que lo traten de tergiversar. Por lo tanto sin Ashley el juego no avanza de manera natural.

En fin, se vale fantasear y jugar con la creatividad.

Yo sólo señalo lo que no me termina de cuadrar del mod.

De hecho pienso que Andrew estaría buscando desesperadamente un reemplazo de Ashley y yo estaría segura que ahí es donde entraría Julia. ANDREW PREFERIRÍA ESTAR CON JULIA ANTES QUE CON SU MADRE YA QUE ELLA NO LE QUITÓ A ASHLEY. Y es entonces cuando la manipulación que Andrew ejerce sobre Julia cobraría mucho más peso, porque entonces él tendría carta libre para convertir a Julia en Ashley.

Sinceramente, en este universo absurdo Julia tiene más posibilidades con Andrew, no Renee. NUNCA Renee.

Y si tanta es la necesidad de redimir a Renee, ¿no tendría más sentido que se esforzara por cuidar de sus dos hijos ya que se ha dado cuenta de su negligencia? ¿Por qué solamente Andrew? ¿No la hace eso aún más hipócrita e irredimible?

También noté que el creador cree que Renee tiene preferencia por Andrew porque se molestó en darle educación, bueno pues esto es falso. Todas las acciones de Renee son hechas por conveniencia, para no ser vista como mala madre. En un reporte del juego oficial se nos da entender que Andrew llega a trabajar en un punto y Renee incluso le pide prestado. Más que tener preferencia por él, parece más bien que lo ve como fuente opcional de dinero.

Y no olvidemos que ese mismo reporte Renee lo ve como una decepción, porque aparentemente no cumplió con lo que ella quería de él.
