Penelope sings waiting 8 times for 20 seconds representing the 8 sagas and 20 years she waited for Odysseus to come back to her

The melody of the "for" after these repetitions of the word waiting is sung in the same melody as "I am the reigning king of Ithica" cause you know that's who she was waiting for

The show definitely focuses more on the similarities between Stan+Mabel and Ford+Dipper for plot reasons, but Stan and Dipper being the stubborn realist family protectors and Ford and Mabel being the weird eccentric optimists is so. so.. I need to eat rocks

*vibrating in place*

Okay so, thanks to the lovely mutual @localcanadiancreature62 I've been been thinking about similarities between the four pine twins. Mainly Dipper and Stanley, and fam I think that maybe Dipper takes after Stanley a lot more than he does Ford. Let me explain.

Dipper's main motivations is protecting Mabel. While he loves the mystery and gaining knowledge, at the end of the day Mabel's the most important thing to him. Dipper gives up a lot for his older sister, so much so that when he's possessed by Bill and Bill mockingly asks who'd give everything up for their dumb sibling Mabel without hesitation replies-

"Dipper would."

And who else do we know who gives up everything for their sibling?

Stanley.

Stanley spent 30 years giving up his life, his identity, his remaining family, literally everything just to bring back Ford. Because Ford's more important than anything else. Just as Mabel is to Dipper.

Dipper also has an uncanny knack for spotting con artists. This kid is always suspicious of free offers and deals too good to be true. Examples of this are the first episode when Stan offers the twins something from the shop. And Mabel is quick to jump on board with it, not questioning a thing while Dipper immediately is like-

"What's the catch?"

Or during the Gideon Glee arch, when Gideon was doing his thing at the tent and his advertisements. Dipper wasn't buying it, and at several points outright scoffed at things that were clearly a scam. He's even more critical of it because his Gruncle Stan isn't Gideon's biggest fan and Dipper surprisingly takes Stan's words to heart. Which we see in the episodes like Dipper trying to be a man and Stanley praises him for standing up for what he believed in. And Dipper's attitude immediately brightened at it. Or the moment when Bill offered a deal to Dipper in exchange for a puppet. Dipper was incredibly hesitant and even asked a few times if that's all Bill wanted. Who else is like this?

Stan is.

Stanley is critical of anything that seems off. Always questioning if there's a catch or if something else is going on. He's not easily bought, and neither is Dipper.

And finally Dipper and Stanley believe that family is the most important thing.

Dipper when he's offered the apprenticeship from Ford his first reaction after excitement is-

"What about Mabel?"

Because Mabel is one of the most important things to Dipper. In fact this scene reminds me of the scene when Ford and his parents are in the office about his scholarship and while everyone else is focused on that, Stan and Ford's mom is the only one to ask-

"What about Stanley?"

Anyways, Dipper's biggest thing is family. This kid gets into dangerous situations to protect Mabel, Ford and Stan with everything he has. And is more than willing to die for them if it comes down to it. And Stanley is the exact same way. Just like Dipper, Stan will fight tooth and nail for his brother and nibbings till the very end.

In short I think Dipper takes more after Stanley than we realized. It's all there in the finer details and it makes me feral just thinking about it.

Idk why but for some reason tumblr doesn't like reblogs to show up in tags or something..? Anyway, Chapter 23 of my huntlow fic, Imminently Intertwined, is now posted.

Hope you enjoy!

Summary:

Our favorite pair have been trekking this mysterious place for over 3 years now.

Willow discovers after the fog has lifted there is a sign of intelligent life. Unfortunately, it was not the intelligent life she had imagined.

Hunter notices her absence and brings the palismen with him on a rescue mission.

Mixed in are several flashbacks, memories each of them are holding onto until they are together once again.

I recently found out they played Stan dating simulator

that is his MOM

Old concept I had of Pacifica entering some sort of Lumberjack clan competition as a favor to Archibald and him possessing her in order to compete and win

What do you think Dana has in store for Hunter and Willow in the upcoming specials from the way she reacting in live Instagram Q and A?

I don't know ow the answer to this any more than another fan would, but it's clearly going to be more than I originally let myself hope we'd get. A lot of people have already registered the parallels between Hunter and Willow, and Caleb and his witch!wife, and how karmically appropriate it would be for Belos- who killed his brother for falling in love with a witch- to know before he fully dies that the last clone he made of Caleb fell in love with a witch as well. And for Willow and Hunter to find the happiness together that Caleb and his wife were robbed of.
