for me, a corrupted ford would be evil not in his cruelty but in his apathy. he wouldn't revel in the party or violence or torture like bill and the henchmaniacs would. he wouldn't be using the new powers bill drip feeds him in order to remake reality his own.

he would care more about learning, about exploring, using his powers to change things not because he wants to change things but because he wants to study what he can do. bill would give him access to all the libraries in the multiverse and he would read and read and read. he would explore the wastelands to study the anomalies, he would sketch the strange ways objects and animals and humans have been twisted.

he would avoid people as he travels around gravity falls not because he feels sorry for the survivors, not because their pleas and gurgling cries or grotesque appearances make him feel guilt or shame or empathy. but because he doesn't want to be bothered while he works. he's made more uncomfortable trying to have conversations than by the content of said conversation.

he would still just be ford. wide eyed and eager and adventurous and socially awkward.

ford gave bill the world because he believed it was better off in bill's hands than in humanity's. and he was right! ford spent his entire career (maybe even his entire life!) trying to get people to see and understand that aliens and monsters and magic were real. and with bill in charge, now they know. everyone's eyes have been opened to the truth he has always seen. bill able to give ford this, something he never got for himself.

ford would be evil in that he just wouldn't care. the madness sliding off him like water off a duck's back. he's going to support whatever bill thinks is best, it just so happens that what bill thinks is best also aligns with what ford has always wanted: a world where humanity lives side by side with the strange and mysterious and grotesque and monstrous. ford doesn't see the humans as suffering, or he sees it as an unfortunate but inconsequential side effect. like how they all saw his suffering.

Hey Merchant! Brand new to the blog and I love it, but I was wondering your opinion on something. I’ve been noticing recently (especially on TikTok) people coming to a compromise in defending ShadowVanilla but/by antagonizing BurningCheese. They’ll say stuff like “SV has nuance but BC is just toxic” and while I can see that in a way, it doesn’t sit right with me. Again, just wondering how you feel about that (No hate to those people from me though).

Hypocrites. They're stupid, annoying hypocrites. Plain and simple. There's nothing to see except for that. It doesn't sit right because the chair is fucking busted dude, it's got 3 legs and two of them got mauled by termites and the rest got cobbled together by Patrick Star

If Golden Cheese was a man, BurningCheese would be just as popular as ShadowVanilla. It would have mountains of fanart on this dumb website and it would have a million fics on AO3 (400 and counting vs 40, yes I am bitter and disappointed, I'm only one person and there are only so many hours in a day I can't bridge that gap alone) and it would have hordes of dumb, horny fujos running interference for it 24/7 just like ShadowVanilla does. (And I specify GC being a man and not BS being a woman because let's all be real. Nobody cares about f/f ships. M/f and f/f are and will always be overshadowed by m/m whether any of us like it or not.) If they actually bothered to pay attention to the game, and to GC's and BS's characters and how they intertwine/compare/contrast, then they would see that their dynamic has equal weight and value. But they don't. And you know what? At least half of them didn't recognize the weight and value of ShadowVanilla, either, until episode 7 and 8 came out and the concept was directly spoonfed to them by the narrative. The OG ShadowVanilla fans went from rarepair hell to having their ship borderline gentrified, that's a whole separate tragedy honestly

You know what's blinding those people to BurningCheese? You know the truth? I'm going to explain better.

Burning Spice is a man and Golden Cheese is a woman. That automatically sets it back in the eyes of a lot of morons online. Hetero pairs bad. Also, BS hurt GC in the story, which is his literal job as a villain and all the Beasts do this, therefore misogyny abuse toxic blah blah blah. GC fought back and kicked his ass and never once tolerated any of his behavior but that doesn't matter I guess. Shadow Milk psychologically tortured Pure Vanilla and essentially mutilated him mentally/spiritually and turned him into a husk (Truthless Recluse). But that doesn't matter because gay = get out of jail free, also there's probably a dose of "lol men can't be abused or mistreated and anything bad that happens to a man is hot and/or deserved" underlining some people's thoughts let's not kid ourselves

Burning Spice is not a Tumblr Sexyman and Shadow Milk is. Shadow Milk is thin and nerdy and has multicolored hair and dresses like a literal and figurative clown and is kind of effeminate and is basically the final boss of all theater kids and is dramatic and charmingly evil and is confirmed to be about as physically tough as cooked pasta. Burning Spice is built like a brick shithouse and has to bend down to fit through a doorway and speaks in a rumbling baritone and is the "wrong" kind of evil (he is not suave or charming, he is all out bloodthirsty with zero dramatics or window dressing of any kind). Burning Spice is a traditionally masculine man and Shadow Milk is not. And the Tumblr I always thought I knew never liked men like BS, they like men like SM, and so far no one has done anything to prove me wrong. Tumblr Sexymen can do whatever they want and always be praised, regular sexy men can do the exact same shit and be condemned as toxic and abusive because they're perceived as threatening while Tumblr Sexymen are not

Burning Spice and Golden Cheese are not white/based on non-white cultures. They're both very dark-skinned, at that. Yes they are cookies not humans, but come the fuck on Burning Spice is literally Shiva but red instead of blue, certain cookies are obviously supposed to be certain races/ethnicities deal with it!! Skinny white boys have always been what Tumblr and TikTok girlies want, it's always been this way and always will be. Go look at the top pairings on AO3, 99% is yaoi with white dudes. (No you are not racist if you don't like BurningCheese, not liking a ship is not racist good Lord. Racism is a little bigger than that. I'm just pointing out a pattern)

I will say it until I'm as blue in the face as Shadow Milk is, I LOVE ShadowVanilla. I really do. I love them individually as characters and together as a pair, I love all the beautiful fanart, I love everyone's analyses of them, I love all the fantastic fics written by fantastic authors I will never in my fucking life measure up to I don't even know why I bother at this point, I do I do I do. But I am SICK of the hypocrisy. SICK OF IT. I am SICK of BurningCheese getting maligned while ShadowVanilla is celebrated in the same fucking breath. Look me in the eye and tell me SM is any fucking better than BS. Look me in the eye and tell me you'd still like ShadowVanilla if PV was a woman, instead of screeching about misogyny and abuse. I accept and love both ships for what they are and what they can be. If someone can't do that for whatever reason then fine, that's nobody's problem but theirs, it's shipping it doesn't actually matter do what you want, but don't try looking down your nose at others because "Fallen Hero/Heinous Villain Being Canonically Attracted To/Obsessed With Their Heroic Counterpart/Narrative Foil, Whom They Cannot Live Without Because They Are Actual, Literal Soulmates" is better than "Fallen Hero/Heinous Villain Being Canonically Attracted To/Obsessed With Their Heroic Counterpart/Narrative Foil, Whom They Cannot Live Without Because They Are Actual, Literal Soulmates" because ❓❓❓❓❓❓❓

I'm sorry Anon, I'm not mad at you. I'm happy to hear from you, I'm happy you took the time to reach out to me, I'm happy you like my blog and I hope you stay. I'll just be honest, I'm dealing with something genuinely awful in real life right now and I am not ok. I'm really not ok. I needed to yell at something stupid and ridiculous so I could pretend I'm not the utterly powerless creature I actually am, if only for a moment. I saw a punching bag in the shape of your ask and I started swinging. Worst part is I don't even feel any better, but I already typed all of this out so I might as well keep it

TL;DR: TikTok -> OPINION DISCARDED

Baby Baoxu and their babas, spinning right round

They're both very excited to be fathers, and it shows in different ways 🥴

Once MK chilled out after the fire ball incident, he and Redson started taking turns being the fun parent. But Baoxu gets most of its adventurous nature from MK, for obvious reasons

MK's in his monkey form because he didn't wanna deal with sun block or sun burn. But he forgot the much bigger threat. Sandy, wet fur. And SunBird ate a spider because they thought the thing was threatening their dad, because MK was scared

What's your thought of The Last Amalgamate finale part by VyletBunni in general?

I thought it was sweet. It's nice to see people in fandom put so much effort into making projects like this; I have nothing but respect for the creator for putting so much effort into creating a multi-part fan animation, especially one that was packed full of love for the Undertale fan game fandom (while I haven't played it yet, I did recognize some of the TS!Underswap characters that were in there).

There were a few things that made me go "Hm, I don't quite agree with this characterization" or "I would tweak this a bit," but there wasn't anything egregious. I especially like that this animation showed that Ceroba's love for Kanako far outweighed any grudge or hatred she had for Alphys; Ceroba may not like the Royals but at the end of the day, she isn't going to let that disdain rule her. She wants her daughter alive more than she wants to yell at Alphys about making her an Amalgamate (a pattern that was carried out by all the other Amalgamate families. None of them seemed mad at Alphys for making the Amalgamates; in fact, they seemed pretty grateful to have their family back, even if they were a bit... Melty and fused together with other monsters). So, yeah. Happy ending for everyone (including Clover)!

Unfortunately, because I am not fond of Amalgamate Kanako designs/interpretations that have her just be melty but she's still mostly intact and herself (or it's just her and Integrity and it doesn't have her fused with other monsters), my opinion was always gonna be ambivalent at best. At the end of the day, you can't win everyone over 🤷

Wip cover for my fic, When Everything Goes to Shit

Mikey closeup, bcs he's the closest to being finished

Link to the fic

Basically rise leo gets trapped in the prison dumension instead of escaping, and donnie gets tossed into the 2012 universe while trying to build a portal to get him back

[whitesnakewine]

That sannin headlock arc was less kage candidates vs kage candidates and more of three idiots decking it out in the back of some fuck ass tiny village with one of them hangover, one drugged (nonconsent), another one drugged (medication) and three kids get rope into it (naruto, kabuto, shizune)

[scarefox]

The fun thing with open endings is that you can interpret and extend them as you will. That's also what fanfics are for btw ;)

For this one I think we have the possibilities of:

Tiu stays loyal to the law, does understand what Kans mission was but still has to arrest him because cop duty

They agree that Kan never does it again and Tiu lets it slide under that condition (maybe they move away even, to start over) ... but tbh I doubt Kan would ever shut up about euthanasia, he would at least still advocate for it

Tiu decides for love and realized Kan is doing the right thing, he's now supporting and protecting him, maybe even joins him sometimes to see how the process actually is

Tiu drives them down the next cliff because he can not cope with all of that and doesn't want to hand Kan over either

they silently flee and were never be seen again (maybe combined with staged accident)

Number 3 is my fav. I would love Tiu to actually see it with his own eyes.

got like ten thousand tog2 thoughts and emotions flying around on the heels of my initial watch that i need to sort through before i try to write out any, but for now i'm just gonna stay haunted by whether or not charlize theron made the intentional acting choice to twitch her left eye when andy responds she's been this way for centuries to nile's comment that she's never seen andy like this.......... only a few scenes after copley called that out as andy's tell

bc genius if true

[ten-ninokuruwa]

i bring a "i think kris not being the knight would actively harm the storytelling of the game" sort of vibe to the fandom that deltarune theorists dont really like
