The thing i both love and hate about michael’s sacrifice was how simultaneously inevitable and preventable it was.
With the info gertrude had, she thought she had to sacrifice someone to save the world. She doubtless thought michael’s blind trust in her was necessary for the plan to work. From her perspective, her actions make sense and couldn’t have happened any other way.
And yet. And yet. It would have failed anyway, whether michael was there or not. Michael could have lived a long and happy life (or at least not been fed to an eldritch horror) and the world would not have ended.
His death is pointless. He died for nothing. And yet there was no path by which he could have survived without changing fundamental aspects of the timeline. Preventable, yet inevitable.
There’s a crossover lurking in this post. Im gonna find it.

The magnus archives is just gay gravity falls on steroids.
I think Michael and Helen would have different colour schemes. Michael is like a walking pansexual flag to me while Helen leans more polysexual flag
I realized something about michael last night that i haven’t converted from “rant in friend’s dms” so I’ll just put the conclusion here and elaborate later: michael distortion’s horror is mostly Hunt-oriented actually (fair bit of Eye too), not Spiral
I was trying to express something about jon’s eyes, but unfortunately the mental word processing crashed and it came out as “imagine having a glow in the dark boyfriend”. So there you go that’s the new post
Sometimes i look at the world and remember why most of what i look at on the internet is gravity falls fanfic. Goddamn everything is on fire, but at least we have scientists with npd and evil gay triangles and old men punching the shit out of anything that threatens their families and redemption arc aus and hurt no comfort and mullet stan doodles and fanmade ocs and salamander deities and weird books
I love how opinions on s2 jon are either “he’s way too paranoid in s2 it’s almost hard to listen to” or “he’s so silly in s2 i love him he broke into gertrude’s flat and thought he was sneaky about it even after hearing sirens s2 jon is the best” no in between
What is your favorite colour outside of the visible light spectrum?
PINK! 'OH BUT I SEE PINK' NO, YOU SEE THE MIXTURE OF RED AND VIOLET WAVELENGTHS. ITS AN OUTLIER, A NOT-QUITE, AND I LOVE LOVE LOVE PINK :]))(]
Laptops are always so much more Fucked than phones in my experience. A laptop is like a beautiful horse that wants nothing more than to break all of its legs. A decently solid android phone will act normal
More tma posting and also somewhat to the side, but a good example of “i saw it coming and it still hit me like a truck” is tma season 4. I knew EXACTLY where they were going to go with Martin from the moment they started laying the seeds, and I also knew it was going to emotionally obliterate me, and I was so excited to see how they executed it. Knowing where something is gonna go sometimes adds to the suspense and anticipation.
I love catching where something is gonna go. It makes me feel smart, and then it makes me feel excited to read/watch/listen to the rest of whatever it is, see it play out.
that some people respond to any well-foreshadowed reveal with “ugh that plot twist was so predictable” proves bad faith criticism has rotted their brains to the point they think it’s bad writing if they can correctly identify information the writers were intentionally giving them
Genuinely not sure how separate the fears are. Maybe they’re completely separate like at the end of s5. Maybe they’re all one thing like Gerry’s colours. Maybe they’re both. Schrödinger’s fears
