Sometimes I Think About How There’s A Canonical … Slang(?) In Infinity Train For Shredding People

I feel like Ivor would be the type of person who is enjoying Cat café. He and Lukas would both go there when they want to chat.

Is it legal to marry a book?

Because I love this book.

This might be obvious, but I feel like it's often misunderstood about Jesse's character.

When confronting the Apex and running away with Lake, his number does not change. They don't get his exit right away, it doesn't appear after this dramatic moment of him standing up for himself and his friend.

"But Yellow! It's about the pacing! It's about the drama of them running away!"

Wrong!

For one, Jesse's problem isn't that he can't stand up for himself. Because he can! And he shows us this!

"It looks like your punching wasn't doing much good either."

"I was yelling! It's still my turn to yell!"

He talks back after Lake mocks his approach. He puts his foot down and defends himself.

"Pft. You would."

He antagonizes Lake after the flecs outted them as a criminal. He doesn't bend to Lake's whims like someone who's spineless.

"You better not tell mom!"

He doesn't grovel for Nate not to tell their parents. Doesn't promise to make it up to him later, doesn't try to lighten this blow at all. The way someone would if they always played both sides.

Defending himself is not his problem, not really. It's not even just people-pleasing.

"Don't tell me what to do!"

"I'm not gonna be a part of anything like this. On or off the train!"

If it was? This would have been the scene Jesse got his exit. There's enough build up for it, we don't need the chase scene before it, we could still have the flex show up after Jesse's exit closed with Lake on the other side.

But it isn't.

"I've got you. We're getting out of here."

It's only after he reassures Lake that his number changes. After he promises to stay with them, to side with them.

Jesse's issues were about standing up for others. For defending other people, even when it wasn't convenient. Not about him.

I think one of the best things about dipcifica (both romantic and platonic) is just that neither of them have a clue about what the other person is like.

Like yeah, Dipper doesn't have any idea about modern fashion and other stuff Pacifica values but Pacifica doesn't know either.

And if they even decided to date, both of them are gonna struggle planning it. Dipper 'overthinking' pines for obvious reasons

and Pacifica cuz, what is she supposed to do? Most of what she knows isn't going to work with Dipper like it would with other people.

Is she supposed to plan a date in the supernatural black market? Do they even have restaurants like the mall does?? Can she even reserve a table???

And what is she supposed to wear? An alien outfit? Dipper like kissing aliens right? What fashion do aliens even have?!

I forgot one of the best ones . . .

My sister after I tell her about people blaming Mabel: "I can see why, but she's also a twelve year old. She made a very reasonable decision for a twelve year old."

Watching Gravity Falls with siblings is great.

"I didn't think it was possible to be a worse guardian than Stan, but at least he has some idea of child endangerment." - my sister when Ford brought Dipper to the alien ship.

"That's not up to him, that's up to his parents." - my sister on Ford's apprenticeship offer.

"Is she about to get Bill'd?" - my brother when Mabel is in the forest.

"This show took a turn." - my sister in the episode thats name is like Xqthfqx or something.

"It takes a special kind of brain to come up with this." - my brother on the same episode as the previous quote.

Wendy even gets a turquoise bandana like thing in the last few episodes, which I thought was funny because it reminded me of Petra

I dunno if this counts as a "confession", but Petra is basically Wendy (Gravity Falls), right?? In a totally good way. I think that's why I vibe with Petra's character so much. I just cannot see them without thinking of the other!

Apparently MCSM is getting a bit of a resurgence bc people hated the Minecraft Movie trailer so bad. I've been into MCSM for several years and Gravity Falls for about one year, and the Book of Bill coming out made that fandom just explode.

Both my fandoms (well, two of them) are having a resurgence. At the same time.

Happy New Year's everybody!

This links to a wheel with nearly a hundred fic tropes for plots, settings, and more. Spin it twice.

This could also work with art inspiration, but the buttons only allow for so many characters on them. And please do ramble in the tags! I'm going to have no idea what most of you are talking about, and it's going to be great.

Thanks you! I appreciate it and will send it to you (if I ever actually write it lol)

Also I looked at how I asked and it appears I was . . . very excited *side eyes the all caps first five words* I'm so sorry if this doesn't make any sense

we love the idea of feral ford but even moreso we love the idea that stan mimics him sometimes

like

stan: sorry bud i gotta go through your stuff real quick

ford: *angry cat noise* D:<

stan: don’t ‘mreh’ me

ford: mreh

stan: MrEh
