How Did I Not Notice Before That You Can Actually See Lumiere Transforming Back To Human In Cogsworth’s

The remaining full arts that I haven't already posted from Genetic Apex!

they have my whole heart

I just saw inside man and I don't know how to feel about it on the one hand the synopsis had everything to catch my attention from the moment there was a possible murderous vicar, but each chapter bored me Harry Watling is a character that could have prevented all this if i had told the truth from the beginning, (i think at this point i just kept watching it for david and stanley)

if you mischaracterize ford for the sake of making a good plot or just because your understanding of ford as a character is a bit warped then thats a bit of a shame, but i’d still read it. ‘he would not fucking say that’ i say, continuing to happily read along anyways

if you mischaracterize stan for any reasons i throw my phone at the wall, i click out of the fic, an angel loses its wings, i start writing even more fanfiction to counter balance you, etc etc

ford being uncharacteristically awful? unrealistic but i can get down with this for funsies. stan being uncharacteristically awful? we’re done here.

Whenever Micheal got in trouble at school, it wasn’t JUST his mom and dad.. Uncle Henry was there too. Uncle Henry was probably the scariest one one the fucking room because “did the kid have it coming? Micheal William Afton why did you throw the first punch?” Because raising Micheal once he hit like 14 was a three person job

all of them together!!! (yes, i added bachelor doodles)

drawing all of them realized how much i like the colours of the bachelorettes more 💀 but you gotta love the guys

Honestly the most revolutionary thing about Gravity Falls to me is its commitment to sincerity.

I’ve been listening to Alex’s podcast where he goes into the details of each episode with different storyboard artists and writers who worked on the show, and it just baffles me how… cared for the story is. Right now in media there’s been an uptick in satire, and shows making fun of themselves for existing, or taking the piss at their own content to “win” fans to their side. It’s like whimsy is gone from so many pieces of media. But Gravity Falls just doesn’t… do that. It completely embraces itself. Weirdness and all. And so does the team behind it. I’m not used to something I care about being so cared about by everyone surrounding it.

Here’s this cartoon, written and illustrated by an entire team of people saying, “no, we’re serious. we mean this. we made this on purpose and we made it important.”

Throughout the podcast, Alex discusses little ins and outs of each character, offering so much deep internal struggles and enriching the story even farther. And listening to him unpack it with the utmost sincerity just warms my heart. Each character is so dynamic because they were cared for by people who imbued them with sincerity.

That’s exactly why we get quotes like “Shame is powerful, but it grows in the dark,” as Ford realizes the trauma he’s hidden for so long is being embraced by his family, diminishing it’s weight on him through their immediate support.

It’s why we get Alex describing Stanley with quotes like; “I always in my gut thought of him as somebody with a huge well of sadness, a loss of human connection. And that need to please? That need to get laughs from the crowd, and putting on a big show? He’s trying to get from them the affection he never got from his family, and that he lost with his brother.”

Or detailing how Mabel might be a goof… but half the time she’s doing a bit, because she’s really more mature than her brother and doesn’t want him to grow up too fast. She’s trying to help ground him and bring lightheartedness into his life. Because she knows otherwise, he’ll become too self isolated.

And those two mini character studies he dropped so casually in these podcast episodes just… color the show. It’s why the show survived so well even after ten years. It’s gruff-old Stan always calling his niece “Pumpkin” and “Honey”. It’s the family always holding hands without it behind laced with a joke, and falling asleep on one another in the car. It’s Alex explaining that people toyed with other endings, other plot lines, other twists, but it was always going to end with Stan and Ford mending the family tie they severed thirty years ago. Because that was their story. Messes and family and care.

Ten years ago, watching it for the first time as it came out, I felt all that. But now, as an adult, knowing that all the other adults who made it felt the exact same way? :,) What a special story we all got to grow up with, and get to continue being apart of.

I am seriously considering doing an au of the strange case of dr Jekyll and mr Hyde, with aziraphale being Jekyll and Ezra from reverse au being Hyde just the idea of ​​an angst AU in which aziraphale does this to himself to fit in with heaven seems like a interesting idea

As they save All Might, what if we get a continuation of this visual?
