I'm literally banging my head on my desk trying to find the words to finish the chapter of my fic.
I guess sooner or later I was going to have trouble writing again after having written almost 2000 words a day for a week.
your writing doesn’t have to be perfect. it just has to make someone feel something.
“Good morning, Peter. How’s your morning going?” asked a gray-haired lady as she walked through the door of the coffee shop.
“Oh, good morning, Mrs. Hudson! You know how Mondays are here. But how about you? How’s your husband?” replied the brown-haired boy as he prepared a coffee with enviable ease. Practically everyone in the neighborhood knew how clumsy Peter Sykes could be, but they also knew that, when it came to his coffee shop, his usual clumsiness was completely left behind.
“Oh, you know how Henry is. He keeps refusing to use a cane. The other day, he nearly fell down the stairs because of his limp. I swear to God, Peter, I don’t know what I’m going to do with that man,” Mrs. Hudson complained as she sat in one of the chairs by the café counter. “But tell me about you, dear. How are you and little Harry doing?”
It had been five years since Peter arrived in this small neighborhood in Glasgow with his nephew Harry in tow. The move had been unexpected, but the young man, barely 21 at the time, adapted quickly. The change had been drastic for both of them, but over time, they had earned the affection of the neighbors.
“Well… I think we’re going through a bit of a phase,” Peter said, rubbing his eyes as a trace of exhaustion appeared on his face.
Mrs. Hudson felt a pang of sympathy for the young man. Peter looked so young and seemed to have gone through so much. He was only 24 and was already practically a single father while running his own business.
“Is that so?” Mrs. Hudson asked curiously.
“Do you remember that hedgehog plush Daisy gave him?”
“The one that sings that funny song when you pull the string?”
“That’s the one. Harry keeps pulling the string and laughing every single time as if it were the first time… but I think I’m going to lose my mind if I hear it one more time.”
“Don’t be silly, dear. Kids always have a toy or a song they cling to. It’s normal.”
“I’m not saying it isn’t normal, Mrs. Hudson. I’m just saying I’m sick of that song.”
“I’m sure Harry will move on from that song sooner than you think, dear,” she said with a compassionate smile.
“He will if that toy miraculously stops working…” Peter sighed and then gave a crooked smile. “Although I can’t blame him. The song used to make me laugh at first, too.”
Personally, I like to think that Peter actually managed to kill twelve Muggles with a single spell. I mean, the man became an Animagus when he was about fifteen years old. He might not have been a top student in class, but he was clearly no idiot when it came to magic. Not to mention that he actually succeeded in resurrecting Voldemort. So yes, I do believe Peter had some skill when it came to magic and wasn't a complete failure like some people think.
So, I went back to reading some Trollhunters fanfictions in the last few days and remembered that the drawing I'm reblogging is one of the few I made about this series. I decided to redo it, and honestly, I'm quite proud of how much I've progressed.
hey ... here I am again you know the idiot who gave the idea of an AU in which strickler was a magician and I made a drawing! If I was on pinterest and I saw a drawing that I felt would look pretty good with strickler using his magic so 4 hours later and with many doubts if I should upload this or not here is the strickler magician
(ps: this will be in all my publications I do not speak English this was translated with the Google translator if by any chance you speak Spanish I also do it and Tumblr is a lonely place if you do not speak English)
More relativity falls-
This was only a tiny bit tricky. The only reason Sock Opera happens is because Mabel has a crush. I replaced Gabe with Carla. Stanley won’t have a new crush every week like Mabel, so instead he’s up to some stupid shenanigan trying to get Carla’s attention. Im trying to AVOID making OC’s. Any roles that can’t be swapped or replaced by a canon character will remain the same. (Note: Fiddleford will work beside Stan and Ford, Stanley will be using his inventing skills for the play so that’s why Fiddleford wouldn’t be able to help Ford.)
Again, it’s not a fic, just a...idk it’s like trying to tell someone what happens in a movie by memory.
Stanley sees Carla reading in the library as he and Ford are researching. Mostly it’s just Ford though. Stanley goes to attempt to flirt with her and sees that she’s reading a play.
“Do you like Romeo and Juliet, Stan?”
“I’ve never met em. What’re they, your cousins?”
“Haha, you’re funny! But really, have you read the play?”
“Oh! Uh, yeah I was totally kidding. Yeah! I’m like...a theater expert!”
And thus the trouble begins. Like in the original Sock Opera, a deal is made between the twins. Stanford would help Stanley with his...weird musical take on Shakespeare and then Stanley would help Ford try to unlock the laptop. Stanford mostly just made sure that Stanley’s script stayed on track.
“I may need to make a few revisions, but this is pretty close. I’m surprised, Stanley. I didn’t think you knew anything about Shakespeare.”
“Huh? I watched An East Side Tale and went from there.”
“....”
Stanley is worried about the play because some of the machines and robots have been malfunctioning, he’s worried that one mistake will ruin any future chances with Carla and that would be like...super embarrassing. He apologetically tells Stanford that the play needs a little more attention. As the story goes, Stanford is still struggling to open the laptop and also hasn’t slept. Bill takes the opportunity to make a deal with him and out of desperation, Stanford accepts. The laptop is promptly destroyed and Stanford is immediately stressed out.
Carla takes the time during intermission to tell Stanley that his take on Romeo and Juliet is really unique. She says if the rest goes well, then maybe they could go to the diner together. He takes that maybe a little too seriously, so when Ford possesses one of the extra robots in the room and urgently tells his twin what happened, Stanley is hesitant to help right away, but he caves into that hilarious auto tune voice. Stanley goes to retrieve the Journal when he’s intercepted by Bill Cipher in Stanford’s body.
“Bill Stanford! Banford!” Stanley is truly a creative. 🙏🙏 After they fall to the stage, Stanley is quickly able to overpower Banford and Ford takes his body back...as painful as it may be. Bill possesses one of the robots on stage and swears to the Pines Twins that they can’t stop what’s to come...it’s pretty scary until the robot malfunctions and explodes, setting off a chain reaction of mishap and destruction on set. Fiddleford watches in horror as his robots fly through the air...and so does everyone else, but it’s because they don’t want to get hit with metal scrap, not because Fiddleford’s masterpieces are, well, being blown to pieces.
After the show, Stanley profusely apologizes for the laptop being destroyed. Stanford expresses that he’s disappointed about the situation and is apologetically thankful to his brother for sacrificing his play for him.
“Y’all sacrificed my inventions, that’s what y’all did. There better be a good explanation for it too, d’yinno how hard it was to steal car parts for these?” Fiddleford mutters as he tries to salvage the pieces of his creations. Carla, surprisingly, meets Stanley after the show too. He’s sure she’s going to call him a failure or a jerk, but she doesn’t. She’s mostly understanding and said that having actual robots was an ambitious project for a theater play.
“I’m...not surprised it didn’t turn out well. Fiddleford’s inventions tend to blow up around you and your brother, but maybe you could just give me the script. Everything kind of exploded before we could see how it ends.”
Stanley is practically speechless until Stanford elbows him back to reality.
“O-oh y-yeah sure! M-maybe...at the diner?”
“Meet me there when you get cleaned up!” She grins.
It’s a win for Stanley...and a lose? But mostly a win. Still, Stanford reminds Stanley that their window to finding the real author is closing. They need to move quickly.
Some warm ups and break sketches to keep me inspired, consider em bonuses:
👉🏼👈🏼 if u like it, I appreciate reblogs. It was really neat seeing people like my last post. Made me wanna continue 🥺
Forgive me, I’m not great with backgrounds quite yet 🙏 but practice makes perfect
Relativity Falls is the “swankiest” au ever. I’m in love with it. I like playing with the idea of the sibling brothers being there in place of Gideon.
They use a magic magnifying glass to help them solve mysteries (they have a magnifying glass in Lost Legends so I slapped some magic on it). I call it...
The Magicfying Glass
It will show the user the clues or item they are looking for. Example, if they were looking for the weapon, looking through the glass would make it appear to glow. Like that triangle thingy in coraline. Stanford meets them during an alternate version of Head Hunters. They show up at the crime scene and Blubs and Durland insist that the Sibling Brothers are the better mystery solvers. Stanley and Stanford take that personally. Mostly Stanford. How dare they insult his detective skills?
(Btw this is just me trying to shorten what happens as much as possible with some dialogue in between, it’s not a fic. I don’t write like this I swear 😭, maybe I’ll write an actual one later)
So basically Stanford and Stanley split up during their investigation in town and Stanford runs into the Siblings and they see that Ford has one of the Journals. They instantly use flattery to gain Ford’s trust. Ford is mostly excited because he thinks they want to be his friends. They tell Stanford that the three of them can become the town’s greatest mystery team and they’ll share the credit of solving the murder of Wax Mabel.
“The three of us? What about Stanley?”
“Eh- yes, yes. Him, too. Whatever.”
“With your fascinating journal, our detective skills, and Stanley’s....Well, there won’t be a single mystery we can’t solve!”
He wishes they hadn’t seen the journal but it seemed like it was working in his favor, so what’s the harm in sharing with two fellow mystery lovers? Ford excitedly tells his twin about the alliance when they meet back up. However, Stanley is suspicious of them because just a few hours ago, they were being pretentious jerks and suddenly they’re all buddy-buddy with Ford. He tells Stanford about his suspicions in overly-confident Stanley fashion, but Stanford’s insecurity about his difficulty making friends creates a barrier. He accuses Stanley of being jealous. Which...is partly true, but THATS NOT THE POINT.
The Sibling Brothers secretly plan to steal Stanford’s Journal and use its’ secrets to solve the murder because the magicfying glass only takes them so far. The two brothers plan to take all the credit once they crack the case because they’re jerks. Who knows what other amazing things they can do with TWO of the authors Journals?
Stanley swears the Sibling brothers are up to something. He also notices how closely they hold on to that magicfying glass. They refuse to even let Ford use it. As a petty revenge scheme, Stanley steals it from them and replaces it with Stanford’s. He takes a peek through it and triumphantly tells Stanford that he KNEW that the Sibling Brothers weren’t being honest. Stanford scolds Stanley for stealing from their new friends.
“Eh...YOUR new friends. I dunno what they’re sayin most of the time.”
They follow the glass back to the wax room. *insert wax fight with stupid puns*
The Sibling jerks run back to the Shack when they realize their magicfying glass was replaced by a knock-off and are also surprised when they see the mess of wax, as well as Stanford proudly telling them that he and Stanley solved the case.
“Your stupid brother stole our magicfying glass! This one is just a fake that has “Suckers!” written in marker where the runes should be!”
Stanford tries to ease the situation, saying they can still all share credit and that the magicfying glass is actually a very useful tool! Out of frustration, they reveal the truth about their selfish plans, Stanford is shocked and hurt. Stanley is relieved that his anger was justified and now it’s even more justified and he’s even angrier.
“Give us the glass or we’ll tell EVERYONE that you did the murder! It’s our word against yours and they’ll never believe a six-fingered weirdo and your trouble making twin!”
Stanford holds Stanley back and contemplates giving it to them, but decides that throwing it in the fireplace would be much more satisfying. He’s not above sweet revenge.
“Stanley and I are used to being targets, destroying a wax figure isn’t even the worst thing we’ve ever been blamed for! So, go ahead! You’re both helpless without the magicfying glass! The wax murder will be the last case you two jerks will ever solve!”
Stanley is tearing up, he’s so proud. The Sibling Brothers shriek as the magicfying glass burns and vow to get revenge on the Pines twins. The buzz about the twins being wax murderers doesn’t last long. Turns out no one except Grauntie Mabel cared very much about the murder. Stanford apologizes to Stanley for lashing out at him, but Stanley admits he could have been less of a jerk about it. He gives Stanford something wrapped in paper and Stanford opens it to reveal the Magicfying glass, it’s burned around the edges and there is a small crack in the glass, but Stanley promises he tested it and that it’s Stanley Pines Approved.
Bonus:
Yay or nah?
It’s him. Ya boi. 🌲🍄🌲
Northwest Mansioooonnnnn!! manor?? Big house.
It was just supposed to be a sketch-
Anyway, the haunting proceeds as normal.
Stanley, Fiddleford, Carla, and Stanford are lounging about the living room when news about the Northwest Manor party is announced. Stanley and Stanford aren’t too impressed with the idea, but Fiddleford and Carla both seem quite excited about it. They explain to the twins what it is and just how extravagant it is, Stanley soon joins the excitement when he learns about all the free handouts, but is still unsure about all the stuck up rich people. Stanford stands his ground, saying that Preston Northwest is insufferable. Cue Preston knocking on the door asking for help and Stanford promptly slamming it in his face.
“Wait, Ford! Look, I know you hate Preston. I do, too! I punched him! But look at how excited Fiddleford and Carla are. This would be the best date ever! She’d like- marry me or something if I took her to this party!”
“Stanley, taking her to this party would only skyrocket her standards for your dates. The bar isn’t even that high currently and you still have to jump for it.”
“Yeah, yeah! It’s not just for Carla, though! Fidds would probably have a blast exploring with you when you’re done with your ghost thing!”
When Stanford peeks back into the living room, Fiddleford and Carla are chanting “Dreams! Dreams! Dreams!” with excitement and Ford let’s put a heavy sigh.
“Alright.” He smiles.
Stanford is able to squeeze 3 extra tickets from Preston and they celebrate by screaming at a volume that makes Mabel wonder if they are being murdered, not that she checks.
At the party, Preston introduces Ford to his parents when they catch a glimpse at the twins. Stanley is wearing a dress shirt rolled up to his elbows over his regular T-shirt and Stanford is in his usual clothes. Preston is ordered to make them change. Stanley goes out of his way to pick a blindingly white suit knowing that even one stain will guarantee him ownership over it. Stanford picks a blue tux, it’s definitely not practical for his line of work. He’s sure it will tear at some point or another by the end of the night.
“Well, have fun on your date, Stan.” Ford huffs when Preston impatiently insists they head to the problem room.
“Oh...yeah...my date...see, well, I...I haven’t asked Carla yet.”
“What- but we’re here already. You know you’re supposed ask beforehand right?”
“Of course I do! But when I tried to ask, we made eye contact and...and I dunno, I got...shy.” Stanley mumbles, looking at his feet.
“Then ask her now...or ask her to dance. Tell me how it goes, okay?” Stanford shouts as he is ushered away by Preston.
Carla and Fiddleford are stuck at the guest book, looking over and teasing the many billionaires who were invited. Stanley takes a deep breath and as he begins his walk towards his friends, he is cut in front of by another boy. Much to Stanley’s horror, he asks Carla if she wants to dance. She says no, to Stanley’s relief but then another boy swoops in cutting in front of Stanley! He huffs, feeling discouraged and decides to wait it out by getting lost in the cheese fountain. Little to his knowledge, Carla says no to each boy, peering to Stanley every once in a while, hoping for him to come over. Fiddleford is extremely unimpressed with Stanley’s inaction.
“Yinno, Stanley, she wants to dance with you.”
“No she doesn’t, she’s talkin to all those boys.” He grumbles.
“She’s rejecting all those boys. All those stupidly rich high class boys.”
“What? Huh, I wouldn’t.” Stanley laughs. Fiddleford nudges Stanley with his elbow.
“Don’t make her wait too long, Stanley. She’s not gonna wait forever.” He points out as he strides back to Carla. Stanley shoves a spoonful of cheese into his mouth.
Meanwhile, Stanford and Preston are having less fun than the townsfolk waiting outside. Ford is unsure about what the best course of action should be for a spirit as vengeful and powerful as this large fiery lumberjack. As he and Preston run from the ghost, they discover the hidden room where Ford fortunately discovers the silver mirror. Stanford wants to celebrate shortly with Preston when the ghost is caught but Preston seems in a rush to leave the hidden room. Outside the manor, the ghost reveals the truth about the curse on the Northwest’s and Stanford is immediately enraged. Inside, Stanford confronts the Northwest’s about the truth.
“You’re no better than your parents, Preston.” Stanford glares. Preston momentarily loses his composure, but recovers quickly. Ford wasn’t expecting much of a reaction, but he wasn’t expecting to be even more disappointed by Prestons response.
“Yes, well, no matter how horrible you think I am, as a Northwest, I will always be better than you.”
Stanford briefly considers shattering the mirror, but simply sighs as he walks away defeated. Preston his patted on his back by his father, but watches Ford walk away with regret. Outside, the lumberjack convinces Stanford to hold the mirror to the forest and uses his flames to make him drop and break the mirror.
“Oh, great.”
Carla is surprised she can bored at the best party in the world. It would be a lot more fun if Stanley would talk to her. Every time they make eye contact from across the room he either turns away or runs to the snack table. Frustrated, she huffs and pushes her way through the line of suitors that have blocked her view of her friend. Stanley sees her coming and freezes like a deer in headlights. She’s so scary when she’s mad, but in a way that makes Stan blush.
“H-h-hey! Hi! Y-you come here often?” He winks.
“Stanley, you have cheese on your face.” She says and he quickly wipes away at his face.
“Yes.”
“Stan, why have you been avoiding me? I thought we came here together but you’re more interested in the snack table than me! Is it me? You don’t wanna hang out with me?” She shouts, causing a small scene.
“Wh-what? No! Carla! I...I just thought...” Stanley let’s out a sigh, “Look, I was gonna ask you to be my date before we got here, but I got scared. Then, I was gonna ask ya to dance earlier but all these boys started talking to ya. I thought maybe...you’d like to dance with some prince than...well, a stupid boy with cheese on his face.” He confesses. Before Carla can respond, the hall breaks into chaos with plates and furniture flying over everyone’s head.
“Oh! Dangit, Stanford! I stayed in the hall to avoid the paranormal activity! This is why we can’t have nice things, Ford!” Fiddleford shouts, ducking as a several plates fly pass his head.
Soon, the curse begins to take hold as the people in the hall begin to turn to wood. Stanford is distressed to see his friends and brother stuck in the positions they were last holding before the woodsman struck them with the curse. He immediately begs the Northwest’s to open the gates, telling Preston that he can still fix everything. Stanford is struck and is turned into a wood statue and Preston is left to decide the fate of his family. He is conflicted, knowing his hard earned trust will be lost completely with one action. He opens the gates anyways and the party guests spring back to life, gasping for air.
As the townsfolk flood the manor, Stanford gives Preston his friendly nudge.
“You did good, Preston.” He smiles.
“I know. These....people likely will be locked out next year, but...maybe that won’t be the case when I inherit the family fortune.” He shrugs as he walks back to his parents.
Stanford goes to find Fiddleford and does his best to calm him down, inviting him to explore the mansion only to be turned down. Fiddleford doesn’t want to run the risk of running into another ghost. Stanford opts for them to drown in the cider fountain instead and Fiddleford agrees happily. Meanwhile, Carla and Stanley are standing awkwardly side by side in the same place they had been since they were turned to wood.
“Wow, uh, we..uh...almost died.” Stanley bursts out.
“Yeaaahhh...we did.” Carla nods, looking away.
Stanley awkwardly and slowly reaches for her hand. “Do...you, uhm, do you..wanna dance?”
“Yeaaahhh...I do.” She says looking up at him and they both burst into giggles.
The four of them enjoy the rest of the party dancing, eating, and drawing on the occasional portrait. There is still more to come, however.
Did anyone tell Ford
Aka miscellaneous thoughts that I'm too lazy to condense into something comprehensible– what you see is what you get folks! (Book stuff, DVD commentaries! The website that came out when I was trying to write this out and is now making me pull my hair out! But in like a good way? That god damn poem!)
not necessarily same coin stuff but I sure am thinking about it.
It’s been said that a large part of Ford’s relationships with Bill, Fiddleford and Dipper was him trying to fill a hole that his estrangement with Stan had left, with none of them clicking in that same way. Dipper was directly compared to Fiddleford as someone who was completely charmed by Ford but is ultimately too anxious of a person to properly deal with the life he's offering nor pull him back when he starts going too far. Meanwhile, Bill is more analogous to Stan but to the extreme with all the doubts that Ford had been fed about Stan (that he was using him, he never grew up, he betrayed him, sabotaged the machine on purpose) turning out to be exactly true with Bill.
The book has Bill saying flat out that Ford wanted the charisma Bill had and then shows that at the peak of Ford's loneliness he was being envious of Stan's charisma, social skills and hands.
[STANLEY COULD HAVE MADE HER LAUGH]
(There’s an irony that Stan always thought that Ford was the popular twin even after doing embarrassing stuff like the kissing machine – if you haven’t seen the Swine Before Time Stan commentary get going, it’s great)
Then Bill swoops in with jokes and endless encouragement and the nickname only Stan used for him, all this in a way tailored for Ford to immediately like him while also reminding him of Stan but "better."
(The show rarely used it but Bill’s use of Sixer is extremely frequent in Journal 3 alone but the comics solidify it as being a pretty personal childhood nickname that kid!Stan used as his default way to call Ford.)
And then you see all of this working because Ford straight up writes Bill’s words using Stan's handwriting (and it turns out that Ford’s capital letter ‘for emphasis/angry’ font in general is the same as Stan’s handwriting too)
(It’s important to note that this is different from all the fonts that Bill uses for himself!)
All of this leads to the deja vu of Ford getting stabbed in the back by someone he was codependent on over a machine he thought was going to change his life for the better
Other things in the book that I’ve seen others point out and noticed myself:
Bill trying to reinforce that Ford would be alone without him, and threatening to tell Stan that Ford never loved him but the first thing Stan does in his letter is tell Ford that he loves him with their childhood code
Stan also only uses ‘Sixer’ in his letter when he normally tends to use a mix of nicknames post-Weirdmaggedon (sure it’s only twice but idk I find it noticeable)
Stan ripped a dollar in half when Bill taunted the reader earlier about how they wouldn’t do that
The promo photo vs the one in the book, Ford’s face being untouched vs Stan’s. While I initially interpreted this as “Bill’s book being a way to torment Ford” and then “him ending up having a meltdown at the thought of Stan”, the new poem kinda gives off an ominous vibe of "him moving on to focus on Stan instead whether he wants to or not"
Ford writing “miss you” in the bro code soon after arriving at Backupsmore which is shown in the Fiddleford photo, then Bill taunting Ford that he misses him
Bill and Stan now have another parallel of losing everything because of a genuine mistake but only Stan was willing to work to make up for it while Bill doubled down and became far far worse
The utter hatred Bill has for Stan being able to win in the end and get back his family
Both of them being institutionalized, with Stan’s mentioned in Guide to Mystery and Nonstop Fun (which has references to Bill liking Mabel for her chaos, silly straws, etc. Also Dipper basically came up with the Author theory but slightly wrong from theorising about the ink blot like a year before the Ford reveal)
(saturn devouring his son perfectly depicts my emotions when reaching this part of the book)
(EDIT: I was thinking about how Bill giving Ford three days to open the portal striked me as odd for some reason... and then I remembered;
Stan gave Mabel 3 days for their bet as well. Both of them specifically say 72 hours too.)
And now for the stuff we know from the website:
Bill having severe family issues with daddy issues implied since only his mum is mentioned directly with her trying to comfort him as a kid vs Stan having severe family issues with a definite focus on his dad while his mum was the only one to ask about Stan during that meeting with the principal and her being the only one to show up to his funeral
Both of them wear their dad’s hat despite of all of this
Bill starting a billion cults and has a lawyer called Multilevel Mark, Stan having his Scientology-esque cult being shot down by irl Disney and as a kid having his “technically a pyramid scheme” comic being shot down by a publisher
(I doubt that Stanentology would’ve gotten far but also you can see that a trend that the main way Bill gathers followers is by reading minds and revealing secrets only the victim would know, so let's hope that Disney-let-him-start-a-cult AU Stan never gets mind reading abilities)
Despite how we know how Stan is traumatised as hell from losing Ford, it’s noticeably isn’t referred directly in the Wheel of Shame (like you can’t tell me that the time between pushing Ford into the portal and starting the Shack isn’t as rock bottom as it gets, Bill literally recognises Stan in the first place by thinking about his brand). This probably is because Bill knows that they managed to repair their relationship and he’s fucking pissed about it.
There's further parallels between Stanley and Bill in poem; with lies and redemption and home, and further association with fire for the both of them
“Saw his own dimension burn.
Misses home and can't return.”
“Always dragged his family down.
One mistake, disowned, denied,
Only thing to do was hide.”
“One way out: the open road.
Reinvent, retry, reload.
A girdle, eyepatch, fathers fez,
"I'm a new man!" so he says”
“One way to absolve his crime.
A different form, a different time”
“His big break, it finally came,
Redemption from a life of shame.”
“Says he's happy. He's a liar.”
“Truth is just whatever sells.
When you've lost track of your lies,”
“Lie until you aren’t lying anymore”
Bill in a rotting corpse of a snake oil salesman
This triangle can fit so much self-loathing projection while being a hater
(Also it's funny that Bill is so insistent that Ford had to be the one who came up with the plan
Like look at this
See ‘em cogs turning in Stan’s head while Ford has clearly given up hope)
“How dare he dress up fancy when his jokes suck!!”
There's a parallel of Ford projecting onto Dipper in a way that makes him feel like kindred spirits with his nephew but Stan projects on Dipper in a way that causes him to be more harsh even if he has good intentions. Meanwhile Bill projects onto Ford in a more positive light in comparison to Stan, who in this case Bill wants to rip him and himself into shreds whenever he thinks of the guy. Bill’s shared love for fun/chaos with Mabel (despite them being so different at their core) is why he likes her the most out of all the Pines but that doesn’t stop him from trying to murder her (although I think most folks don’t know about that interview where Alex was like “yeah, I think Bill would’ve burnt Ford alive the moment he got the equation, he’s done playing with his toys at that point”)
Other tidbits:
I find it interesting that the full version of the Wheel of Shame has blue sparks and fades to grey scale (which automatically reminded me of his mindscape)
Stan signing off as Stanley in the book – this ain’t anything huge to chew on I'm just very over emotional about this… but also there’s Bill being called Billy by his family/in the codes
Ford thinking of Stan as childish/someone who never grew up and then we get hit by “yeah Ford always had some part of himself stuck at 18” oof
Ford underestimating Stan’s control over the mindscape, not knowing that he’s able to hide memories in Dreamscaperers, manipulate the layout of his mindscape enough to trick Bill and memory!Stan telling Dipper how to use the mindscape which Bill was genuinely surprised by
I'm headcanoning that Stan doing so bad at that history test is due to some latent bs from what Bill knows which is all crazy conspiracy level stuff
I think it's also intensely funny that all of the Pines promise that they'll murder Bill if they ever see him again and then they immediately turn to Stan and go “now it's your turn to write a letter! :D!!”
(I feel like the main requirement that the Theraprism has for Bill before he can reincarnate is mainly acknowledging his family idk which honestly would fit even better if his soul becomes Stan’s)
EDIT: I FORGOT TO MENTION THE OUROBOROS PASSWORD (or... uh oroborous which is a typo when theres a suspicious amount on the site which may mean somethng but i digress) anyway that leads to the Shack Axolotl lore where it bluntly states that Ford released it despite it showing up 30 years later anyway
and theres....
the ghost hunting team ever!
“We protect him,” the Agonized continued. “We bear his pain. We relive his memories. So that he does not have too. So that he may-.” Another spasm of pain caused the Agonized to break off, and he shut his eyes tightly, wincing. --Excerpt from "Sleepless" by TowardTheStars
omgggg i commissioned @toorumlk to draw jily and look how beautiful they are i literally fell to my knees
Can’t believe we never got the backstory on whatever the hell Hotch’s thing with fire was.
Like it was clearly a thing for him, fire was one of the few things that made him lose composure more than once yet we never find out?
Yay, I finally created the humanizations of Gyro and Mad which I'm satisfied with
Gyro: I PROMISE, WHEN WE GET HOME, YOU'LL BE FUC-
I can't get this idea of the Marauders x Spider-Man out of my head, so I started writing a bit about the background of each of the Marauders in this AU.
So in this AU, Hogwarts is like Brooklyn Visions Academy, the only difference being that it's located in London and the students are still divided into houses, but it's more like which dormitory sector you belong to and, ultimately, they're not taken as seriously as in canon.
Peter: He's an only child, his father is a paramedic and his mother is a nurse. Due to his parents' shifts, he's somewhat used to taking care of himself. He attends Hogwarts on a scholarship, although he always struggles to maintain good grades and not lose the scholarship. He suffers quite a bit when it comes to balancing his grades and his life as Spider-Man. He's quite close to his parents and his father's death really affected him a lot. After this, he became quite close to Professor Sprout and Professor Flitwick, often turning to them for advice. He's a bit afraid of Professor McGonagall.
James: Like Peter, he's an only child and his parents are quite old. Because of that, he's quite spoiled, but he adores his parents, and woe to the person who insults either of them because James Potter isn't afraid to hit someone. He's the captain of the Hogwarts hockey team. His family is extremely wealthy, so he's always attended private schools and has no problem spending money on gifts for his friends. He's Professor McGonagall's favorite, as he's the best student in his class and has ensured that Hogwarts hasn't lost a match in the last two years.
Remus: Like the other two, he's an only child. I didn't want to completely ignore Remus's lycanthropy, so I decided to make him a mutant. He can control the transformation, but it's quite difficult for him to do so during full moon nights, so he simply opts to spend them as a wolf. He still has scars, but they're from when he was attacked by Fenrir Greyback (who is also a mutant in this AU). Remus managed to defend himself, and that's when he discovered he was a mutant. Lyall Lupin has made a great effort to change his beliefs about mutants since discovering his son was one. Now he and Remus are quite close. Likewise, Remus couldn't ask for a better mother than Hope Lupin. Like Peter, he has a scholarship, and thanks to it, his family can afford to send him to a school like Hogwarts, as Lyall Lupin is a police officer and Hope Lupin works in a bookstore, so they don't have money to spare like James and Sirius.
Sirius: He's a special case. Like in canon, he didn't have a good relationship with his family. For that reason, he likes attending Hogwarts because it allows him to be away from his family for much of the year. Initially, when he and Regulus started attending Hogwarts, they were quite close, but they started to drift apart over the years. Finally, when he turned 15 (about 6 months after Peter became Spider-Man), he ran away from home and lived with the Potters for a while until his uncle Alphard Black managed to become his legal guardian. Sirius goes to therapy once a week, but he's managing quite well. Alphard is also trying to get custody of Regulus, but it's not easy, as the Black family is quite wealthy and probably has the best lawyers in England.
I've been browsing AO3 for hours and stumbled upon a few AUs where a character becomes Spider-Man. I quite enjoy these types of AUs because of the endless story possibilities, considering Spider-Man has a vast array of villains. The best ones I found were where Remus and James were Spider-Man. But I'm here to pitch an even stranger idea: what if Peter Pettigrew were Spider-Man? I mean, the guy is a coward, and I think that would make for a great story opportunity – someone as cowardly as Peter becoming Spider-Man, someone who clearly lacks a moral compass at first. And here's where I think Peter would urgently need the death of someone as significant to him as Uncle Ben was to Peter Parker. It couldn't be any of the Marauders because Peter holds them in a strange kind of pedestal, so the death of any of them might scare him more than give him the push he needs to do good.
So, hypothetically, a character not mentioned in canon could be used: Peter Pettigrew's father. Now, listen, Peter definitely wouldn't use his powers for good at first. I'd bet Peter would use them to steal some small things from stores – these kinds of things would give him some self-confidence, which we know Peter definitely lacked. So Peter's father discovers this, and he and Peter argue. Peter runs away from home, and his father goes after him (similar to what happens in Andrew Garfield's movie). Peter's father encounters the thief Peter just let go and is shot dead. Peter wants revenge because now he has these powers, and that's what he always wanted – now he's more powerful than anyone, and he wants to find the man who took his father from him.
I think his origin as Spider-Man would definitely be much more violent since it would be for entirely selfish reasons, but I also like to think that with the help of the Marauders, they could help him take a better path, especially James. I think he could definitely have a great influence on Peter's morality.
I also like to think that Peter would still be the same shy and kind boy but definitely much less willing to take any kind of mockery, especially after what happened to his father. As Spider-Man, he would be much more himself, as if wearing the mask eliminates that little fear of what others might say.
Lastly, I don't think Peter would be smart enough to create web shooters, so I actually think if I ever write this, I'd give him natural webs like Tobey McGuire's Spider-Man.
The opinions don't matter to me, but please, if you're going to spread hate about Peter Pettigrew, just don't comment. This is an AU, so we're completely taking into account the canonical personality of the character.
Peter Pettigrew is 9 years old and James Potter are best friends.
Peter Pettigrew is 12 years old and James Potter is his best friend.
Peter Pettigrew is 15 years old and James Potter and Sirius Black are best friends.
Peter Pettigrew is 18 years old and due to a stupid infatuation, he has made the biggest mistake of his life.
Peter Pettigrew is 21 years old and because of him, his best friend is dead.
Peter Pettigrew is 24 years old and manages a cafeteria while learning how to take care of a 4-year-old child.
Sketch pages of Hazbin and Helluva characters!
Uh uhbuh uh uh uh uh uh. Yea. Normal humans au. Well actually, it's the au where Vox and Alastor are BFs. And for their pairing, I headcanon that Alastor likes to dance and Vox doesn't mind it and they often dance alone. Vox couldn't dance at all, but Alastor taught him, even though Vox does it ineptly and often steps on Alastor's feet. Sorry not sorry 💥💥💥
The fact that Present Mic's height is 185 cm and he looks so short next to Toshinori only makes him more hilarious.

I warn you that there are 8 fics that basically connect the story and that the ship doesn't happen until the 6th (also the author just finished the 8th and i think i plan to publish another three fics before the finishing the story so this is a read long term
That moment when you read a story and it sets the bar so high that it's hard for you to read other stories from the same ship.
"Harry, isn't this your father?" - asked mj who was holding a polaroid in his hand
- What? Let me see
Harry took the polaroid Mj was holding, his father didn't seem to be older than him in the photo, Norman was smiling without looking at the camera, it wasn't a cruel or trusting smile.
Harry did not think he had ever seen his father smile like that, Norman Osborn seemed genuinely happy, Harry looked in a corner of the photo, it did not take him long to recognize the handwriting of his father, there it was written "the best day of my life"
— I wonder what would have happened for Dad to stop looking so happy — thought Harry.
— HEY GUYS, HERE ARE MORE PHOTOS! — Peter called as he held a box in his arms
Norman: I think goblin swallowed your ipod
Otto: what!? How do you know he did that?
Norman opens his mouth and beats his chest
