Hi Again! This Is A Shorter One . . . And An Excuse To Draw Jheselbraum A Lot Xd

Grunkle Stan literally punched a pterodactyl in the face because he couldn't stand the idea of Mabel never talking to him again

I recently found out they played Stan dating simulator

the pines family flatout replacing the star symbolism that bill had to ford does always make me feel smug af

Thinking about how Odysseus carved the wedding bed out of an olive tree, which means the bed is rooted in the ground.

Thinking about the line “You don’t think I know my own palace? I built it!”.

Thinking about the implication that Odysseus built his entire palace around that olive tree, his and Penelope’s wedding bed, a symbol of their love.

Odysseus’s world is literally built around his love for Penelope.

…..i’m not crying, i just have an odypen in my eye.

While reading wings of starlight this is how I imagined Queen Clarion young.

any flower symbolism analysis for thanks to them 👀 i saw at least one person mention a flower that was presses into willows scrapbook but that was it

The flowers in Willow's scrapbook are Asters!

Here are some examples of pressed Asters, for further comparison;

On their own, Asters represent patience, love and wisdom. But Asters, much like roses, have unique meanings based on the color of the flower as well. And Pink Asters specifically signify kindness, sensitivity, and romantic love.

I also noticed that Hunter's pillow has a leaf pattern on it as well, which appear to be ferns;

I was halfway through typing out a breakdown on discord about how ferns symbolize healing and protection, (and, as I have since discovered, can also symbolize dreams/"I dream of you") when no less then four people started screaming about this scene;

soooo, yeah. XD

This thought isn't going to leave me alone until I write it down so I'm just gonna say it

STANLEY PINES HAS SEXUAL TRAUMA.

The wheel of shame on the website straight up acknowledges that Stan has done sex work and in general engaged in sexual activies, willingly or otherwise, to survive.

Not only this, but you also have to remember that he's been to prison an unknown number of times in three different countries.

The kinds of horrible things known to go on within prison walls already provide some pretty rough implications, but this combined with the fact that, at least at first, Stan didn't seem to know the language(s) of those countries well enough to understand his fellow inmates and was likely more heavily targeted for being a foreigner to begin with....it paints a pretty upsetting picture to say the least.

I don't think any of us really thought about this aspect of his past back when the show was still going because like...he was a character in an animated Disney show and we were like 12, characters with this kind of dark complexity to them were a fresh & new concept to us and a lot of Stans past was toned down and/or put in a comedic light since it was meant to be a kids show.

But now that we're adults and Alex has acted accordingly by targeting older audiences with the new book and website, we've gotten a much clearer and more serious look into just how horrifically bad Stans time on the street really was...and honestly? I think more people should be talking about it.

Hey did you guys know that i'm actually a huge Addams Family fan?. Well ya do now. That's why i'm going to.. MAKE A FUCKING ADDAMS FAMILY PINES FAMILY AU AHAHAHAHAA,perfect for spooky month (i planned this. i wanted to do another gf au but for Halloweenie). The parallels are uncanny my dudes. Uncanny. Stan being the loving but goofy family man,Fidds being the romantic and kind mom figure (i mean. he already acts like one sooo),Dipper being the weird and curious murder child (except instead of murder or torture,it's mysteries. like the scene with "there's only one thing in a girl's mind" but instead of "boys?. homicide" it's "girls?. mysteries"),Mabel being the fun and a bit dim sidekick to her crazy mad scientist brother,Ford being the crazy uncle that no one has ever heard of until he randomly appeared back home from the asylum one day,Soos being the frankenstein butler,Waddles being the hand (idk it squeals and makes pig noises. Mabel loves it),and Bill being Ford's crazy ex who wants to kill him (Fester ALSO had a crazy ex in Addams Family Values soo). The halloween spirit is strong in me and i am going to sniff out DRY with these ideas AHAHAHAHA. Outcast family who accept each other and other weirdos my beloved ✨. Also it would be SO FUCKING funny to see Stan and Fidds being all "oh cara mia. mi rey" cuz they would ABSOLUTELY fucking do that. Also Wendy is.. Grandmama,cuz witchy vibes.

so painful to think about tiny stan pines liking to draw and being so inventive and creative while thinking of himself as "a dumb idiot" and "the stupid twin"

‼️cw: blood, horror art

"out of all the grimwalkers, you looked the most like him."
