Since we’ve all been rewatching Gravity Falls bc of the Book of Bill I decided to compile my favourite joke of each episode in the show. Here’s season 1. Enjoy
Apparently in China peach wood (Along with the rest of the plant) is believed to have properties that repel evil spirits, a little similar to silver in European legends or iron for both European fae and West Asian/Middle eastern Jinn. Taoists sometimes keep swords made of peach wood because of this. This made me realize something. If you took a peach wood stick, and attached studs to it of both silver and iron you'd end up with a club or staff (or mace, flail etc.) that would have the weaknesses of many kinds of supernatural creatures while still retaining effectiveness as a normal weapon (peach is a hardwood and silver's poor edge retention doesn't matter for studs). You could even keep adding new stud materials to get something ridiculous that affects over 120 catalogued folkloric monsters. Since you just need a few little studs you could even get some really expensive materials like meteoric iron (a thumb tip sized meteorite can still cost like 10-20 bucks I think). I could somewhat feasibly make a weapon that affects every monster ever thought to walk the earth, from vampires and werewolves to jinn and jiangshi and even mankind.
he's very excited about his first night as a jack o lantern
I'm sorry, but this is an extremely funny author cameo to me. He doesn't say anything and no one even acknowledges he's there. Who is he? Another teacher? A Yancy board member? Who knows, but he's here! I'm obsessed.
Do you think the island challenge amulets would look a different depending on the island it was gotten on?
Like Melemele's is obviously wooden but maybe Alala's would be rock/stone because Olivia is a rock specialist; maybe Ula'ula's would be made of old metal to reflect its kahuna being a cop (metal badges) as well as Tapu village and Po town being abandoned/rundown; maybe Poni island's would be clay like the Vast Poni Canyon
Percy @ Annabeth: I picked you because I’m not sure we’d ever be friends
Book readers:
Autumn 🍂 is here !!
this is the funniest thing I’ve seen in any review ever
Sun & Moon Tangled AU idea with Lillie as Rapunzel. Gladion still ran away but now Lusamine (Mother Gothel here) has told her he's dead (he fled her "love" and as far as she's concerned he is dead to her) so imagine her surprise when after demanding the people who broke into her tower (Selene, Elio and Hau) take her to the lanterns she finds him not only alive but friends with these people (against his will he will tell her but the friends in question disagree). They get up to the usual amount of Pokemon/Tangled nonsense (Snuggly Ducklng musical number with Team Skull, Kingdom dance and foster fighting a God probably).
