going to start moving Gravity Falls things from @redhallow to my GF plush blog

I can’t help but think how terrifying it must’ve been for Bill to find out he was slowly going blind. Not only that he was going blind, but that the people who promised time and time that they’d always love him, “sharp angles and all” were the people responsible for it, and not even because they thought it would improve his physical quality of life.

I could see it as a narrative around the way bodily differences get treated, and a tiny part of me really relates to it as someone with pretty severe strabismus who was terrified of surgery for most of my life. I see it paralleled in the sense that people reassured me they wouldn’t see me any different for the way I looked, but when it finally came to time to undergo surgery for corrective purposes, the biggest reasons my parents gave for wanting me to go through with it all had to do with social impact, such as being unable to look people in the eyes. It really hurt to find out how much they hated it after they spent a lifetime reassuring me otherwise. I’ve heard of other visually impaired people with similar stories as well, of family members wanting them to undergo invasive surgery or other major medical procedures for the sake of “fixing” how they present themselves, without any kind of medical benefit.

So yeah I could see why our intrepid villain would be a little hurt, especially when all the love he has ever received has been in spite of existing as he is

"The exhilarating ripple of her voice was a wild tonic in the rain. I had to follow the sound of it for a moment, up and down, with my ear alone, before any words came through. A damp streak of hair lay like a dash of blue paint across her cheek, and her hand was wet with glistening drops as I took it to help her from the car."

-- The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald

Entry 7:

I miss him.

Everyone tells me that the grieving stage is natural, but I can’t help but feel as though the days drag on now. Something isn’t the same as it used to be. And, truly, I doubt it ever will.

If only I had the guts to tell him how I truly felt. I suppose it’s been on my part for waiting so long. But… what could’ve I done? He was married, for Pete’s sake. As much as I disliked her, that never misplaces the fact that he… he— well, that he cared for her. Loved her.

It’s even hard to admit in writing.

I’m no woman. I’m not even close. Yet, if that was what close the gap of dancing between the fine line of romantic and platonic, I would’ve happily skipped right over. But I can’t. Mathematically, it’s impossible.

I suppose it’s just more salt to the wound knowing he’s gone.

adding onto this!!!! i just realised that the fact that tj was wrongfully accused of murdering someone could also tie to the book

spoilers for the book in case you haven’t read it, but basically—

at the end, wilson’s wife myrtle is killed by the person driving gatsby’s car. obviously everyone assumes it’s gatsby, and gatsby ends up getting killed by wilson as an act of revenge - ALSO, tom buchanan is the one that tells wilson that it’s gatsby’s car, leading to gatsby getting killed

but it wasn’t gatsby driving, it was daisy (tom’s wife) who was driving the car, and she was the one who actually killed myrtle (albeit by accident)

and that’s the same as what happens to tj here — he’s wrongfully accused of murder (and tom buchanan is the one who frames him) and he almost gets put in prison for something he didn’t do, the same way gatsby gets killed for something he didn’t do

someone else has probably noticed this before but i still think it’s neat

i also didn’t realise this and i can’t remember if it’s actually in the manga or just the anime, but the “best friend” that TJ kills is actually wilson!

another reference to the book is the fact that the security company is manhasset security - manhasset seems to be the inspiration for east egg, which is a fictional neighbourhood, and partially where the great gatsby takes place (and where buchanan lives)

also fucked up that they gave tj green eyes. i choose to believe they’re blue. big. blue.

i just realised something about tj eckleburg in bsd and i’d like to point it out bc i think it’s a neat detail

so, as a lot of people may know, the character comes from the great gatsby - doctor tj eckleburg is a on billboard and he’s got huge blue eyes and yellow spectacles - and in the book, a character called wilson looks at him and says that “god is always watching”, which is where the “eyes of god” thing comes from in bsd

i feel like that’s very well known, but something that i didn’t realise but i think is a cool detail if i’m right, is why tj tries to kill himself with a degreasing agent for metal when fitzgerald goes to find him. it always seemed a little random to me why this would be the way he’d kill himself since there are much easier ways

but i think the reason for this is because in the book, wilson is the one who gives him the title of “god” and wilson works at a car repair shop, which is a place where a degreasing agent for metal would be used - and since wilson and tj eckleburg are connected, it would make sense to give bsd’s tj a little tie back to that

very small detail, and ofc idk if this is actually why he‘a written to try to kill himself in this way, but i still think it’s a cool detail if so!

Reed900 Slow Burn (18+) | AO3 Link

Summary: In the aftermath of Detroit's android revolution, Nines grapples with the complexities of his newfound deviancy. As he seeks to establish his place in a newly transformed society, his resolve is put to the ultimate test when he is paired with Detective Gavin Reed—a notoriously volatile human with a well-established hatred for androids—to investigate a series of murders.

While initial impressions of his partner seem to suggest his reputation is well-deserved, the more time Nines spends with him, the more he is forced to challenge his judgments. As they form an unexpected bond, the RK900 is also pushed to examine truths about himself he would much rather seek to forget. (A Retelling of ‘More Than Our Parts’ from the POV of Nines.)
