crazy that gravity falls was like, hey what if we made twin brothers, and one of them is the worse one. he gets bad grades, he likes to punch his problems, everyone thinks of him as “the other one.” he’s engulfed in a shadow that’s shaped like him. he doesn’t even have his own name—it’s derived of his brother’s name, the only one his parents planned on having and using. everything about him is derivative—imitative of another person (his twin brother) (the one everyone likes and wants) and is disapproved of for that reason (he isn’t just “bad at this thing,” he’s “not as good as his brother”). and then he ruins his brother’s science fair project (the one next to his own—no one noticed it because it’s not good, it’s almost stupid next to a “perpetual motion machine” made by a high schooler) (he tried to fix it) (he doesn’t know how; he’s not as smart as the guy who made it) and he gets kicked out. the potential of the money his twin could’ve made is enough to throw him onto the street, and he can’t go home until he makes that money back (the money that was never gained and therefore was never lost. he never had a chance of making enough). he took every job he could (his brother went to school). he got banned from multiple states (his brother bought a house). he traveled internationally and went to prison and had people try to hunt him down and kill him because he couldn’t make enough money (his brother’s house has three basements. he made them himself, as secure as can be). and when his twin finally summons him for help, things go wrong (he messed up this machine like the last one) (he doesn’t know how to fix it. he isn’t as smart as the guy who made it) (he tries to fix it) (he was never any good at reading and these blueprints are impossible, coded and fragmented and in a science that he didn’t know existed) (he tries to fix it). the townspeople ask who he is, and he doesn’t even say his own name (it was hardly his to begin with). and he invites them to a house that isn’t his to show off experiments that aren’t his because he needs to make money that can’t be his. everything he does for the next 30 years is in his twin’s name, for his twin’s sake. he had two funerals for himself and it isn’t even his body in the casket; he had to wear his brother’s name to both of them. if he had died before he fixed the portal, that funeral wouldn’t have been for him. we meet him as a funny and unique character, but in-universe, he’s only ever been defined by someone else.

and then they went, this is entirely in the background btw. most of that is going to be revealed in one episode and won’t be addressed again. he’s a primary comic relief, even. I’m ill about this.

I have some news for members of the united states armed forces who feel like they are pawns in a political game and their assignments being unnecessary.

Charley passing the ball to Wally so he could score the winning touchdown the way he couldn't 40 years ago... Wally punching Mr. Manfredo so he couldn't hurt Rhonda... all of them pulling Charley through the vending machine so he knew he was loved... Wally pulling Maddie up from drowning... im so emotional over this

I think the phineas and ferb normie fan opinion that I hate the most is when people say “omg I didn’t realize jeremy liked candace too I thought it was just a one-sided crush.” like what are you even talking about?? their relationship has been totally reciprocal since the beginning. they’re literally dating for over half of the show and they never have any moments where they almost break up or anything, they’re a solid couple.

and I can’t even chalk it up to people only ever seeing the first season because jeremy is shown to be down bad for candace in like every episode. in her birthday episode (which is so early on in the show it’s normally paired with the pilot) he gives her a gift when she barely mentions it’s her birthday. or what about that time when he said his favorite fossil in the natural history museum is the heart that says “C + J” ? or the time when candace is “sneakily” taking pictures of him and he poses crazily for her? or the time when candace asks him to go to a dance with her and he says “I’ve been waiting for you to ask me” ? those are all from season 1 before they even start dating. and they only get more and more canon from there on. it’s so ridiculous to think they don’t love each other equally

If you can't show up in person, make a phone call. If you can't call, write a letter. If you can't write a letter, an email.

In order to liberate our communities from this lovecraft country's Jim & Jane Crow violence, we have to upRoot white supremacist politics and practices from the root.

i think 'I trust you with my life but not your own' as a trope is one of the ones that can always fuck me up no matter what
