Hi guys
i love seeing people with very little experience in stem try to write scientist characters working. βhe finished the. equation π©·β yay girl!!!! what was that for though
in penance for trying to kidnap her and make her their queen that one time, mabel pines is inventing a new sport called gnome bowling
Media where the true horror is the fact that the people fighting for their lives on a daily basis are children
Media where the true horror is that their biggest concern is possibly dying when it really should be failing a test or getting rejected by a crush
Media where the characters never got the chance to have a normal childhood
Stanley is an absolute asshole and that's one of my favorite parts about him. Like yeah we can talk about his hidden heart of gold and whatnot, how he subtly shows his care for the kids and for his brother, but, like. He's still an asshole.
He has beef with multiple children! (Gideon and Pacifica, at the very least). And he has a reason--- defending his family--- but it's still beef with children! He regularly scams travelers out large amounts of money! He doesn't pay his employees! He insults people to their face! Even if he's doing it out of projection love, he still gives Dipper the short end of the stick, like, all the time. He opens a potentially world-ending portal just to get back his brother--- that's an asshole thing to do!
And this isn't a critique of Stan at all. But his churlish asshole nature is a beautiful part of him that makes him a really fun character. Being a good character doesn't = being a nice character. I'd even argue him becoming nicer isn't--- shouldn't be--- a requirement for his character development post canon. This is a guy who's yelling at other boaters over the radio. This is a guy who undoes your boat's drain plug 'cause you insulted his brother. Stan's a rude, penny-pinching curmudgeon that his family insists is nice deep down because he is--- to them. He don't give a shit about anyone else!
Let Stan be mean, dammit. He deserves it.
i think one of the funniest underrated jokes in su is when pearl, steven, and amethyst are in the car, pearl is driving, and they ended up speeding and getting followed by a cop. pearl's freaking out bc she doesn't have a license, and when steven is surprised, she's like "what was i supposed to tell the dmv, that i'm from another planet? im not exactly a citizen, steven!"
Don't you love it when the fandom comes up with extraordinarily grand ideas to please you? That's the magic of fandom, is a space where you can find anything you will enjoy.
Now! I love the idea that Past/Passive Nightmare still resides in Nightmare. I love the idea that they are two in one body. The ancient, cruel entity and the balanced, necessary side of negativity existing together. I love the idea that Corrupted Nightmare's blind eye is purple. I love that the fact that Passive is still alive, weak but alive, is the reason why Nightmare struggles and has so many contradictions with Dream (and the others).
I LOVE the idea of ββa truce and how the twins have to spend entire decades to begin to mend their relationship. I love seeing Nightmare having internal struggles that aren't his but are because Passive is still there clinging to existence. They have become one.
I love the idea that Nightmare sometimes talks to Passive out loud. I love the idea that Corrupted speaks in plural about himself sometimes and unconsciously.
Things only last so long though, and this setup doesn't exempt Nightmare and his cruel and merciless nature. But if you can dig deep, sometimes, as if it were the ghostly remnants of someone who is no longer there, there are small moments of mercy that don't belong to the King of Negativity.
finally got a job π
