got to thinking about jongeorgie bc of this exchange in TMAGP 37

and it's been a while since i've listened to MAGs5 all the way through, but this paired with melanie calling jon and martin her friends, just screams some missing dynamic, some history that we will never be privy to. the fact that melanie is the one to bring up jon first here means georgie must have talked about this concern with her.

implying that even at the events of MAG200, even after he's ended the whole world, georgie did not believe he had "gone off the deep end" that despite the events of TMA and everything he had done, even though she had given up on trying to save him, she didn't think that he was unsalvageable, that there is still good in him and a person worth caring about. and it's killing her that he might be a "proper" monster now

anyways sobbing at work

Hey.

Do you ever think part of the reason Georgie stayed by Jon’s bedside through all 6 months of his coma but then abruptly walked out of his life when he woke up is because she was fully expecting to be a caregiver for him during a long, grueling post-coma recovery process?

Do you think part of the reason she was so spooked by him waking up (relatively) unscathed is because she had mentally, physically, and emotionally prepared herself to take him in? That her best case scenario — what she had planned and hoped for — was that he’d wake up with severe cognitive and/or physical deficits, as one would expect from someone who survived an explosion and six months in a coma? That he’d have to re-learn how to walk or talk or eat or hold a spoon on his own? That he would *need* someone, and even if it wasn’t what she wanted for herself or him, she had decided she would step up and be that person for him?

It can be so jarring when you build up a vision of your near future around one assumption, only for that assumption to be completely shattered by reality. Do you think she constructed a future for him in her head, and when he woke up “fine”, she was so startled by the breaking of her expectations that it felt almost like a betrayal? And the sheer uncanny impossibility of him waking up “fine” made her think that her friend was dead after all?

Do you think that after Martin stopped coming around and Georgie found herself alone at Jon’s bedside, she realized she was all he had left in the world? The only one who held onto hope that he would survive in some form? The only one who thought he could wake up, severely disabled by his experiences but free at last? The only one who thought he deserved the chance at a mundane life after all of this, even if that life would look radically different? Do you think she grappled with the reality that if she didn’t step up for him, no one would? Do you think she spent long hours coping with the fact that she was going to have to take on new responsibilities and make new sacrifices for him, but she was willing to do it for an old friend who deserved better than the hand he was dealt? Do you think she mourned her old vision of her future, before she reconstructed that vision around caring for him?

Do you think she started talking to Jon’s doctors about what she could expect if she brought him home after he woke up? What kinds of disabilities he would live with, and what the prognosis was? About his quality of life afterwards? His road to recovery? Do you think she made up her spare bedroom with a severely disabled person in mind, and then started looking into hiring a part time caregiver to come help her make sure Jon got the help (she assumed) he’d need? Do you think she did all kinds of research into brain injuries and their aftermath? Physical therapy for people with severe atrophy? NG tubes for re-feeding severely starved people? Occupational therapists?

Do you think part of the reason she was so upset when he woke up (relatively) unscathed, lucid and talking and breathing on his own, maybe a little physically weak but still much like his old self, is because she had realistic expectations of what his life would look like after his injuries? And seeing him suddenly defy all odds by waking up into a full cognitive and physical recovery — a completely unrealistic hope that she never even considered as part of the realm of possibility — only reinforced the idea that the old Jon was dead, and this new Jon wasn’t safe for her to be around?

Do you think it hurt when she realized she couldn’t bring him home?

I think about that.

I love the idea that Jon took the breakup so much harder than Georgie did. Georgie was probably feeling some frustration with him near the end because... well, because of who Jon was as a person at that point in his life, but also likely because she saw their lives moving in different directions and was like, this sucks, but its time to go our separate ways. I can see it hitting Jon completely out of the blue though. Just because of how oblivious he is in interpersonal relationships. He may not have even consciously admitted to himself that anything felt wrong between them. I wonder if they broke up in such a way that Georgie thought was soft and civil, but it left Jon in a spiral of self-recriminations and a sea of assumptions that he did something horribly wrong to deserve it. Again bc of who he is fundamentally as a person.

People who say “oh but with uniforms you don’t have to worry about kids bullying each other over clothes” are psyops to me there’s no way people genuinely believe that uniforms do anything to curb bullying

the older pines twins in my starwars!gravity falls au :D

Jedi Master Stanford Pines

He was seen as a rising star amongst the Jedi of his generation; powerful in the Force, incredibly intelligent, and firmly rooted in the Light. Many knights and masters clamored with one another over who would take him on as a padawan, and he was eventually paired with Master Jheselbraum, a young Jedi famous for her accomplishments in both research and in sentient aid.

An incident involving his twin brother during their apprenticeship caused his master to repudiate him before he could be knighted. He struggled to catch up after spending nearly a year without a Jedi Master to teach him, and never forgives his brother for ruining his reputation and his chances at becoming a Jedi knight ahead of schedule. He'll always carry the shame of repudiation with him. (He'll always carry the wound of his brother's betrayal)

He goes on to study the mysteries of the galaxy, of the Force itself

He had a run-in with a sith holocron in his youth, when he was freshly knighted and very self-assured in his ability to stay in the Light. He thought he could study it without being corrupted, but was wrong. The secret of that holocron haunts him to this day.

He couldn't bring himself to destroy it. He tells himself it's because he fears destroying the holocron would release the spirit within and allow it free, but really... it contains so much knowledge, if he could just learn how to keep the Dark at bay, he could learn so much. The thought of permanently destroying that potential knowledge was too much for him to bear. Instead, he called on someone to hide it for him.

After ten years of silence between them, he contacted his twin brother to get him to take the holocron away and hide it where no one would find it. That was 30 years ago, and he hasn't seen his brother since.

He never planned on taking on a padawan, but when he meets Dipper on a visit to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, he is immediately charmed. Dipper reminds him so much of himself, at that age; strong in the force, rooted in the Light, and fiercely intelligent. He wants to train him, to teach him everything he's learned about the Force (he wants to give him the opportunities that Ford never had, after being repudiated).

Stanley Pines, notorious space pirate

Grew up in the Jedi temple on Coruscant, alongside his twin brother. Where Ford was seen as having incredible potential, Stan was... not. He was less outwardly powerful in the force, no good at meditation or finding 'serenity', and his emotions tended to run hot. The people of the Order generally thought he wasn't fit for the life of a Jedi.

When Ford accepts an apprenticeship with Master Jheselbraum, Stan manages to find a master as well, though one not nearly as famous or accomplished as Master Jess.

Years later, when a mission goes terribly wrong, and a huge misunderstanding occurs, Stan is thrown out of the Order for fear that he's falling to the Dark side.

He does what he has to in order to survive; he becomes a drifter, he stows away on ships and works with pirates, he scams and does menial labor, he runs spice for a bit. He ends up wanted in various parts of the galaxy for various different crimes. He eventually manages to get his hands on a small spacecraft, which he lives out of for a few years.

When Ford reaches out and contacts him, Stan drops everything to go to his brother, hopeful for reconciliation. It doesn't go over well, when he realizes what Ford wants. Arguments are had, strong words exchanged, and Stan leaves with the artifact his brother wants him to hide. (He destroys it instead) (What Ford doesn't know won't hurt him)

30 years later, Stan is a fairly successful pirate captain. His crew is small, but effective, and they make enough to take care of themselves. Stan has found something that resembles belonging, in his little crew. The finality of his last interaction with his brother causes him to lose hope for reconciliation, but it also leaves him open to forging new bonds.

When he and his crew board a rival pirate gang's ship, looking to take back the credits they rightfully scored on a successful scam, they end up finding a small group of kids. It's Mabel, and her new friends: Candy, Grenda, and Gideon. Stan and his crew take in the kids, trying to figure out a good way to return them to their families without also being caught by law enforcement.

my starwars!gravity falls au has taken over my brain. mystery twins in space!!!

The text in the images is pretty small so!! Everything's also written below each image :)

Initiate Mabel Pines

She and her twin brother, Dipper, were nearly too old to be trained by the time the Jedi found them on Search. She remembers what life was like before being taken in by the Order, back when all she had was her brother.

She's been having trouble finding a knight or master to teach her. While she is strong in the Force, she has a hard time focusing and finding the serenity that all her teachers expect of her. Meditation feels impossible, and her emotions can become overwhelming. She grows attached to people and objects quickly, and struggles to sever these connections when her teachers point out her 'shortcomings'.

*darth vader voice* the ADHD is strong in this one

She's afraid she will never find a master, that she'll age out of the system and be transferred to one of the service corps, far away from her brother.

When Dipper accepts an apprenticeship with some stuffy traveling researcher, Mabel can't help but feel a little betrayed. They're supposed to stick together, aren't they? Hasn't it always been the two of them against the world? Now, he's leaving her to study with a Jedi that lives off-planet. When will she even see him again?

But she can't let her feelings get in the way of Dipper's happiness. He's been studying this Jedi's work for years, and he seemed so happy just to be offered the apprenticeship... she tells him to go, to become a real padawan. Just don't forget about his sister back home, okay?

With her brother gone, temple life feels almost unbearable. She didn't realize how much she relied on him in the day to day, didn't realize just how much she would miss him. When she leaves the temple for a class trip, she steps away from the group, just for a bit, to try to get her mind in order. And she gets kidnapped by a group of opportunistic pirates.

She puts up a truly valiant fight, throwing pirates around with her mind, but she is still an unarmed 12 year old, and they manage to get force-suppressing cuffs on her. She meets and befriends the other kids the pirates have taken, and does her best to protect them, even without the Force.

Padawan Dipper Pines

Eager to grow up and become a Jedi; he wants to be a knight so that he can protect people (he wants to be strong enough to where he never has to be afraid again) (he wants to be strong enough to always be able to protect his sister)

He takes all his studies very seriously, but is especially fond of astro-navigation. There are huge mysteries in the galaxy, and sometimes entire planets are dropped from star-charts and lost to time. He wants to discover——or re-discover——all of them.

Ancient Jedi history, abandoned Jedi temples, and lost force techniques are also a big interest of his; he follows Ford's published work religiously, and when he learns that the Jedi is visiting the temple, Dipper goes out of his way to try to meet him.

The thought of an apprenticeship doesn't even cross his mind; he simply wants to discuss theories with an experienced Jedi that he respects. When Ford offers to teach him, though? How could he possibly say no? It's the opportunity of a lifetime.

He feels guilty for leaving Mabel, but she reassured him that she'll be fine, and tells him to follow his dreams. Just remember to call home, right?

When he learns that Mabel has gone missing, he doesn't allow anything to stop him from going after her, not even his new mentor Jedi Master Ford. He threatens to steal the master Jedi's ship and leave him behind if he doesn't allow Dipper to search for her. Ford quickly capitulates.

He and Mabel share a strong force-bond. They've always been peripherally aware of each other, even over long distances. Across the stars, they might not be able to communicate at all, or even get an inkling of the other's feelings, but they can at least feel that the other is alive.

When Mabel gets her connection to the force cut off by force-suppressant cuffs, to Dipper it just feels like she's suddenly gone. For the first time in his life, he can't feel his sister, and he's terrified.
