Okay, so I don't know if anyone's talked about this yet, but while watching Gravity Falls I noticed something about the title sequence. The first few times I saw the part where Dipper is pointing out that huge footprint to Grunkle Stan I merely thought that the three Pines were going on a monster hunt and were tracking some sort of monster. You know, family fun time. When it became evident that Grunkle Stan 'didn't believe' about the supernatural stuff the scene became rather sad, as I then realised Dipper was trying his best to prove the supernaturals' existence to Grunkle Stan. The poor little noodle would probably take Grunkle Stan out on one of his and Mabel's explorations in the woods to prove that he wasn't merely a child making it all up. Then it was revealed that Grunkle Stan had known about the supernatural all along, and it all became clear to me. Grunkle Stan was merely pretending that he didn't know what Dipper and Mabel were talking about (you know, in order to protect them), but while he stood there putting on an air of scepticism for the kids, he was actually wondering what type of creature had made the footprint, and whether or not he needed to get his two kids out of there before it all went pear-shaped.
From the very beginning Alex has been hinting at Grunkle Stan's true persona, and it's simply amazing to see it all unfold and reveal it's true form.
Fitting in the rest of the romance/bromance of the M9 and NPCs just makes the whole situation better:
Nott canonically is in love with Caleb and everyone knows it and is kind of cool with it (Yeza, who drinks his respect women juice and knows what kind of woman his wife is, supports it and actually kind of gets it cause who knew self-destructing anxious wrecks hiding absolute chaotic dumbassery was his type??? Not him!). So sometimes Nott will just. kiss Caleb on the mouth in greeting and goodnight and all that happens is Caleb gets flustered and Jester demands one as well
“Nott we run a detective agency together everyone knows that fulfils the homoerotic quota for mouth kisses now lay one on me”
Fjord is good. He’s fine with no mouth kisses from Nott (but sometimes their bantering/arguing just gets.,,,,,,real intense,,,oh boy)
It also means Luke is brought up knowing who his biological parents are but since he is born from the trickster womb of Nott and grew up with the M9, as years go by he sometimes introduces other M9 members as his parents. Fellow friends and other parents are bewildered by the tirade of powerful and influential figures who all apparently sired this little halfing Luke please this giant goth woman with wings is not your mother,,,,,please,,,stop calling her Ma Yash
No one in the M9 really knows what weird connection Caduceus and Fjord have with the Wild Mother and each other, and Ducey doesn’t swing any way, but there is something very married in their morning meditation sessions, week-long “discover yourself” trips and the fact that Fjord may love Jester and Caleb but he is most vulnerable with the other cleric. They are often mistaken for husbands by any religious faction they encounter and honestly they keep getting free shit out of it so who cares???
While Jester may have the curse of accidentally seducing any WLW who comes her way (Yasha and Beau both have accepted themselves as the foundation of said curse and love it), Fjord is bisexual bait and has his own curse of seducing any Dom/Top within a mile radius, usually by getting his ass beat in the process. Avantika was not a fluke when Darrow and his duel Fight Pit/Spa date shows otherwise
Honestly though, it’s Caleb who happens to incidentally seduce the most people, and it is usually other wizard twinks with crippling issues with authority. Essek is always welcome in the tower and often in the bed as well if he’s up for it :))))
*Meanwhile, two thirds of the triad, Fjord and Caleb, grabbing onto Beau* sir, ma’am, people who know better, this is my emotional support lesbian
*Jester, grabbing the other arm* And this is my occasional bed partner and blue bestie
*grabs onto Yasha* and this is her wife and my other female friend who I occasionally kiss on the mouth
Jester’s mum is delighted by her daughter’s many and wonderful partners but her father is A Gentleman and has had Enough of his daughter crashing his places to throw impromptu “sleepovers” we cant keep replace the furniture Jessie we just cant
Honestly, people from outside the group has given up on figuring out what the fuck in happening in the M9 and chalk it up to the kind of shit that happens when you live co-dependently with people you saved the world with
(The fact that there’s been rumours of a similar group on a different continent just cements the fact. It’s been decades and some of them are important political figures,,,,,and one is apparently dead??? But sometimes he shows up on the wings of ravens or some shit and people have to accept him and his antlered wife and their purple bf starting some shit in public almost immediately,,,gross)
Forget about the tangled web of love that stretches between the M9 (barring Caduceus our aroace king of staying out of drama), I would love if the love triangle between Fjord, Jester and Caleb just somehow naturally fell into a little triad all on its own.
Like no dramatic love confessions, they do that shit constantly with each other in secret little ways, but just Jester coming home to her mother like
Jester: mama I want to introduce my partners to you
The Ruby: ah yes that handsome orc boy that you kept going on about, he was so–
The Ruby: wait, partners???
Jester: lmao yeah I have Fjord, who rejected an eldritch monster he was accidentally raising to get close with Mother Nature herself, but that hobo wizard who eventually cleaned himself up and became one of the most powerful casters around is also my bf.
The Ruby, the actual sex god on this plane of existence and all others: hell yeah my daughter deserves the best, get ‘em my baby girl.
The dynamics of it are so funny as well. Like, Caleb is a highly respected wizard now under the tutelage of several powerful figures, so any time he goes to some sort of elbow-rubbing-fancy-pancy wizard event he of course brings his beaus.
And people are like??? “Ah yes, members of the iconic and world-saving group you are part of Mr Widogast, they must be of such high pedigree.”
And then someone recognises Fjord as Captain Tusktooth who had some sort of fake accent going on for years at a time (and didn’t he sleep with that Captain lady who was horny for water or something??? And then get her killed by the pirate king? There was something about a forbidden eldritch god?) and is praying that Mr Widogast’s other partner is normal–
but the first thing that Jester tells anyone is: “have y’all heard about my mother, best lay in the land? I am the daughter of the greastest sexer around and my childhood imaginary friend is my personal god, anyway how are you?”
Even better, out of the three, the tiny blue tiefling is the only one who can pick up and hoist their partners around, making the comical sight of long-cat and long-suffering Caleb being slung bonelessly over one shoulder, while a blushing Fjord is held like a football under the other as Jester parades them down the street in her cute frilly dresses.
Fucking FjordxJesterxCaleb is where the good shit is at wake up sheeple
How about a Saints Row AU?
:O Like, that the nerd herd are a gang? and trying to take out all the other gangs in the city?
Perhaps they save Tadashi’s life from the fire, and induct him into the gang then, where he learns of their plan to grab all the territory in San Fransokyo. It’s surprising, because Honey Lemon and Wasabi and Fred and Gogo are a small gang, and none of them seem particularly cruel or terrible. But then Tadashi witnesses one day Gogo break a man’s arm completely in half, theres a lot of gorey details, none of the others even bat an eye, and he no longer doubts.
The leader is unknown to Tadashi. Just a mysterious person the others talk about whom Tadashi is not allowed to know the identity of yet. Despite this, Tadashi still helps, and he invents things/hacks other gangs’ technology to give our nerd gang a leg up over the larger numbers in the other gangs.
It helps, a lot, and soon all the other gangs are down and San Fransokyo is theirs.
But then, their leader is kidnapped by the police chief, and Tadashi learns that it was his little brother Hiro pulling the ropes all along to try and clear out rival bot fighters and more dangerous men from the streets - all to try and make San Fransokyo safer, in his weird and anti-hero gang leader way. Tadashi is absolutely in shock, but he doesn’t have time to have a crises over if he ever really knew his little brother, because they all have got to get their gang leader back.

The FMA:B sacred star movie is hilarious because Al, sweet and chivalrous Al, saves the beloved girl warrior of the valley and is almost immediately called a monster and captured. Meanwhile, Ed the absolute bastard rocks on down to the valley, makes mud monsters to capture the valley people, and then takes one as a prisoner at sword-point. Then almost instantly makes friends with his hostage and everyone else around him. Edward Elric is like a DnD lawful good character with an awful personality that somehow manages to get out of every bad situation from the unholy amount of points he's dumped into his charisma.
Bisexual and proud!
Some asshole: What do Hunk and Pig even contribute to the team? They’re not even important to the plot line and they have no cool powers! They suck!
Season 6, smashing dozens of scenarios where Pidge and Hunks’ intellect save each other, the team and the whole universe into their face: I’m sorry, what was that? I couldn’t hear you over Hunk learning Galran culture or saving an entire planet from getting blown up under pressure, let alone adding Pidge’s analysing skills/cunning to create a failsafe for Shiro and coding fast enough to save the Castle. Wanna repeat that??? :))))
Voltron Season 5: Who are you???
Voltron Season 6: I’m you but with far better character development and phenomenal animation.
TADASH- wait HIR- TA-…h…NO. Idea from this post/myself I saw on my dash. c:
*hearing the soothing voice of tiilei say “I’m here for you”*
Me, tearing up: m-mx kaner you give me life and serotonin free of charge. I would die for you
How do we never talk about the fact that Mineta was Mt Lady's intern? We all knew that Mineta really wanted to intern under Mt Lady cause he's a perverted little dickhead, and that it wasn't what he expected due to that short clip of him vacuuming her room, but why would Mt Lady take on a student like Mineta who barely stood out in the Sports Festival? Why did she not turn him down when she realised his perverted nature? I'd like to think she took one look at his application to intern under her, remembered that one loser of a kid in the festival who deviated between being a coward and making goes at the girls, and just thought; 'I'm gonna ruin this kids life.' And so Mineta goes to intern under her, thinking it's going to be a constant montage of sexy close-ups and flirting, and instead he gets absoluTE HELL. While she's known for her laid back, almost lazy personality, Mt Lady didn't get those thick thighs that could crush a mans skull when she's NORMAL size for nothing. She puts Mineta through hell training that makes him long for Aizawa's gentle touch, and backs it up by lounging in front of him afterwards like she hasn't broken a sweet while he performs tasks he's always thought to be 'the women's job'. Every chance she gets, she flips the kids' misogynistic view of the world, and laughs gleefully as he cries and wails in response. They go out in patrol and Mineta expects to stand behind Mt Lady and get glorious shots of her ass. Wrong! Mineta is too busy using his quirk to keep the structure of falling buildings stable, a job he's always thought supporting sidekicks performed (always females to him, as of course men would be out there fighting!), and by the time he's done Mt Lady has already crushed the villains single-handily. No sexy shots for him. I know a lot of people like to label Mt Lady with incredibly derogatory and sexual characterisations due to her interactions with the media, but I'd like to think that Mt Lady knows the stigma still prevalent against women in tight suits fighting 'a mans job', and performs her job as a satire of this misogynistic portrayal. She hams it up in front of cameras because she's new and that's the only way to get sponsors, but also so she has enough publicity when she's big that her fight for feminism reaches a wider audience and has FAR more impact. She's a clever and powerful woman, she's just keeping those aspects under the radar for now until they're at their most useful in impacting social stigma. (Mineta learnt to fear Mt Lady, but unfortunately she was never able to change his misogynistic and perverted nature, clearly. So instead she makes sure that any internship or sidekick gig he tries to get with other female heroes always ends up with a fellow feminist, who beats both his ass and shitty ideals until they finally break and enters pro-hero industry as an avid feminist and great friend to a bunch of women who see him as their greatest piece of feminist work).
