Let's do a Disney quote thread!

“If ever there is a tomorrow when we’re not together, there is something you must always remember.  You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.  But the most important thing is, even if we’re apart, I will always be with you.”

Gotham 3x11 Review

Hooooooo boy, what a night.  Gotham has, well and truly, plunged headfirst into madness and insanity.  But who’s to blame?  Jervis? Jim? Falcone? Barbara?  Or the looming threat that is Jerome Valeska?  Here I’m going to break down my favorite parts and the parts that me and everyone else is freaking out about, in order of how hyped I am (positively or negatively) about each one.

1.  Bruce and Selina.  All of their parts in this episode were just so adorable, and I squealed when Selina kissed him before taking on that wire.  In that moment, I realized two things.  Selina does have feelings for Bruce.  And she is truly genuine with him only when she is afraid.  She ran to him for help when Ivy disappeared, and she wanted to get Bruce to a hospital after he saved her (sure, it was the fake Bruce, but she thought he was the real one at the time).  I think that kiss meant that she was afraid then; and she had every reason to be.  If she fell, that meant that the mission was botched, Bruce would be exposed, and she would most likely die.  Also, where the heck did Selina’s mom come from?  Is she working with the Court?  I wouldn’t trust her in a million years, so I hope that Bruce and Selina don’t.

2.  Tetch vs Gordon, round 4.  This scene is probably the one that I left feeling the most satisfied with because everything about it was perfect.  Props to both Benedict Samuel and Ben McKenzie, their acting made the whole scene so convincing.  And I loved the the rhyming battle.  It was so funny when Jim tried to “speak Jervis’ language” and Jervis is all like “haha nope, that’s not gonna work on me” and then it totally does because Jervis just couldn’t resist…reminded me a bit of Edward in season 2′s midseason finale…

“A diamond plate, a glowing grate, a place you never leave; where am I?”

“Home.  Whose home?  Your home?  Are you saying that Penguin’s at your home?”

“No–yes.  …Who are you?”

Both Jervis and Edward love riddles and they can’t resist hinting at things, so I saw a parallel.  I love villains that give things away unintentionally because it’s just part of their personalities.  It was especially funny when Jervis gave Jim that look, you know the one–the look of a kid that just said something he wasn’t supposed to, with the wide eyes and covered mouth and the sudden need to escape leave the room.  Just.  The entire scene gives me life.  Anyway.  On to the next one.

3.  Jim vs Mario vs Lee.  You had one job, Jim.  ONE. F***ING. JOB.  And the worst part, aside from that knife falling in the freaking lake, was that Mario, to an extent, was right.  Jim is the jealous ex.  He wants Lee.  And because he didn’t explain himself more to Lee, or not explain it enough, or just stood there saying “Don’t marry him.  Don’t marry him.  You can’t marry him.  Lee I love you.  Lee, he has the virus even though he cleared it all the times I tested him.  Lee, I saw you in the window.  You can’t marry him.”

God.  It was infuriating to watch.  There are so many different ways that could have gone down.  He could have waited until after the wedding.  He could have had Harvey call Lee and say something like “We found an irregularity in one of Mario’s blood tests.  It doesn’t look good.  Do you think you can postpone the honeymoon until we’re positive he’s fine?”

I only hope that Lee realizes that Jim was right and feel indebted to him.  Because she treated him like dirt on her shoe and heaven knows that’s about to get worse because the whole Falcone family will be on his back now that MARIO’S FREAKING DEAD.

4.  The promise of Jerome’s return.  Yeah, ‘nuff said.  I await his return with all the hype I can muster.  Words can’t describe how excited I am.  Next.

5. This moment.  Yeah, everyone blew up at this.  The shippers, the non-shippers…I love it when ships get tragic, so I’m very curious to see where this will go.  

It’s obvious that Edward wants revenge.  He imagined killing Penguin in front of people, so he wants a show along with it.  But there are subtle things in Edward’s conversations with Oswald that make me think this isn’t as black and white as it looks.  I’m one of those people that looks back a few seasons to see if I can find any hints at anything, and I found something.

Ed’s going to go through with what he said he’d do.  But in doing that, he’ll be doing Penguin a favor.  

From his’s first appearance at the GCPD in season 1, Ed knew who he was.  And I bet he kept tabs on him up until now.  I’m sure he’s observed what happens to Penguin when he gets knocked down.  He started from nothing and became king of the crime world.  He got knocked down a few pegs by Galavan, and blew him up with a bazooka later on.  He was beaten, electrocuted, and manipulated by Strange.  Then he became mayor.  

Ed’s going to let the Riddler completely take over.  He’s going to beat Penguin down, practically grind him into the dirt with his bare hands.  He’s going to shatter everything that makes him “the Penguin”…just so he can come back, even stronger than before.  What gift could beat that?  And according to Ed, the ends absolutely justify the means.  Besides, remember what Ed said to him after his mother died?  Something about how a man who has nothing to lose answers to no one but himself?  Sound familiar?  Why else would Ed reassure Oswald that they’re best friends and he needs to remember that?

Okay, that’s it!  Lemme know what you think of yesterday’s episode.  What do you think will happen next?

Gravity Falls and Night Vale Exist in the Same Universe (and something HUGE happened) Theory

Bear with me, listeners: this is gonna be long.

- They both started on the same day: June 15, 2012

- They are both “weird” towns filled with paranormal wonders.

- Alex Hirsch once said himself that if you put a red pin on a map every time something weird or paranormal happens, they become more clustered once you get close to Gravity Falls.  Night Vale is located “somewhere in the Southwestern United States” (I always think of Arizona).  That's pretty close to Oregon, if you ask me.

- StrexCorp vs The Blind Eye Society

Okay, I'm pretty sure that the Blind Eye Society has more sects that are outside of Gravity Falls.  There have to be other memory guns and other people who just want to forget all of the crazy sh*t they've seen.  I think there's a sect of the Blind Eye Society somewhere in Night Vale, and the only place where it could be is the infamous Dog Park.  All I know about the Dog Park is that dogs and people are not allowed in the Dog Park, and it doesn't exist, but it does, and sometimes it occupies other dimensions.  And that no one is supposed to speak of it.  Also, that it is sometimes a meeting place for hooded figures.  The Blind Eye Society is chalk full of hooded people.  This could be another reason why it's so shrouded by mystery: the people of Night Vale probably saw something weird and had their memories erased.  I'll bet they've all been inside there at least once, but the Society makes sure that they never venture in there again—by means of other mind games, I'm sure.

I also think that Bill Cipher is heavily involved with StrexCorp.  Hear me out.  I think a lot of fans agree with me when I say that Desert Bluffs is basically what Night Vale could have been if they were unable to keep StrexCorp (and the Smiling god) away from them. We heard in “Triptych” that Kevin actually used to hate StrexCorp as much as Cecil did and seemed like a kind, caring individual.  Then StrexCorp went and turned him into…well, the Kevin we all know.  But later in his life Kevin will be broken, beaten down by whatever StrexCorp did to him, and inform Cecil that StrexCorp is a terrible thing.  He seemed so traumatized by it that I was reminded of Fiddleford McGucket.  After one glimpse of Bill Cipher's dimension, Fiddleford was left mentally assaulted with so many terrible things that he created the B.E.S. just to forget about it, and that eventually led him to insanity.

…which only fuels my theory: Bill Cipher (and one of his “friends”) are basically the masterminds behind StrexCorp.  Anyone who's watched Weirdmaggedon I, II, and III know what happens when Bill merges his dimension with ours.  I'll bet some crazy person outside of Desert Bluffs and Night Vale made a deal with Bill involving some kind of business organization.  Bill agrees, but there's always a twist with him, some kind of favor.  So what was originally going to be a successful monopoly turns into a freakish cult, all worshiping the “Smiling God.”  I've seen fanart sketches of the smiling god and none of them actually look human. Doesn't that sound like something that would hang out in Bill's dimension?  Or on a darker note, doesn't this sound like something Bill would turn a person into?  Maybe the person that made the deal with Bill in the first place?  This smiling god acts like a true leader that will fix everything and bam, Desert Bluffs—despite Kevin's initial protests—falls under its control.  But there are hints that Bill is still the one in charge—the most obvious ones being the triangle on the StrexCorp posters, as well as Kevin's cheery, yet sadistic personality.  Also the fact that in most fanart, he's wearing something yellow.  I'll bet that Kevin's even allowed Bill to control him at one time or another.

Another thing: Cecil and Kevin are usually depicted in fanart as having a third eye.  I for one don't support this headcanon (but you guys can think what you want).  However, I do think that there is a hell of a lot of symbolism involving those third eyes.  This may get a little confusing, but I'll try to explain as best I can.

Cecil knows all about the weird stuff happening in Night Vale—hell, he's the voice of Night Vale, how could he not?  The important part is, he just takes it in stride.  I'm sure that in episodes he's reacted strongly to stuff, but in the next episode he's still sitting there in that studio, ready to speak again.  The weird stuff has become normal to him. That's why his third eye is still intact—he knows what he believes in, and he's not controlled by anyone.  Kevin, on the other hand, has let a higher power completely and utterly take over and destroy his life.  He's succumbed to their fake smiles and their bloody normal.  He's let someone else decide what he sees and what he believes—that's why his third eye is either sewn shut, darkened, or gouged out.  Yet another allusion to the B.E.S..  He has—in a way—turned a “blind eye” to the crazy stuff and has let someone else make decisions for him.

- Cecil Palmer and Tad Strange are the same person.

I'm gonna start this off by saying that I've heard several things about this little theory—one of them being that Tad Strange became Cecil Palmer after he was tragically scarred by what happened during Weirdmaggedon.  But I don't think that's quite true.  In my theory, Bill was responsible for what happened to Desert Bluffs.  Now how could all of that happen if Bill died in Gravity Falls beforehand?  I think Cecil Palmer became Tad Strange, and here's how:

StrexCorp invades Night Vale.  That's the short answer, and it seems like that's how the inevitable end to Night Vale will come to pass. Night Vale put up a fight the last time StrexCorp tried to come and they managed to hold it off.  But there are three things that tell me StrexCorp will be back: One, StrexCorp loves winning.  Two, Cecil actually says that Night Vale “did not stop the unraveling of the universe” which might foreshadow StrexCorp's return.  The third one is the one I'm going off of: Cecil accidentally let it slip in a broadcast to recent-past-Kevin that there was going to be a rebellion against StrexCorp in the future.  Cecil was able to pass it off as a funny joke, but I'll bet Kevin makes plans ahead of time. (See Triptych for more info.)

So when this time does indeed come to pass, Cecil becomes a fugitive because he believes too much in his own beloved town to ever believe in a “smiling god.”  Kevin and the rest of StrexCorp make sure that Cecil suffers a lot for his disobedience…they torture other people to draw him out, etc.  Cecil tries to gain a few followers, but there's nothing he can do.  Maybe a few months later he seriously has no place to turn to and stumbles across the Dog Park, where the Blind Eye Society takes him in and completely erases Night Vale from his mind.  They safely get him out of Night Vale and away from StrexCorp.  So after a while, he just sort of stumbles upon Gravity Falls and makes another identity for himself from a little phrase he hears.

And here are a few other things that I found that were completely coincidental, but somehow may fit into the rest of this theory:

Triptych (the episode where Cecil finds out about Kevin’s past and future) and the Stanchurian candidate (where Tad Strange’s first appearance is) were released roughly around the same time.

There are a lot of quotes from Night Vale that would fit in Gravity Falls and vice versa, one of which being the one I’ll close with:

“Be proud of your place in the cosmos. It is small, and yet it is. How unlikely! How fantastic! And stupid. 

And excellent.”

There’s a Thin Line Between Trying to Leave an Easter Egg and Scaring a Kid, Apparently.

I once volunteered once for a kid's haunted house.  It was supposed to be a mystery thingamabob with different messages that you had to decode and stuff to solve the huge puzzle at the end.  So it wasn't supposed to be TOO scary.  I was okay with that; puzzles were one of the things I enjoyed making.  I was assigned to make some of the messages that would throw kids off, distract them.  So I made a few messages in Dwarven and Elvish (both of which were not in the decoding packet, so the kids would know that these were the fake ones) and set them up around my room.  I didn't look in any of the other rooms, but if I had, I definitely would have put a stop to what some other guy was doing in his room (though looking back on it, it was a nice Easter Egg, I guess).

The kids came and we turned them loose on the house.  I remember this one girl in a pink sweater stood out to me.  She grinned up at me and said she was going to solve the puzzle first.  I just said “You go, girl!” and patted her on the head.  Then she disappeared for a very long time.  I saw other kids running to and from rooms, but this girl seemed to have gotten herself lost.  After a while me and a few other adults started to get worried, so we decided to look for her, but before we could start, I heard her scream.

I ran upstairs and into one of the other throw-you-off rooms and found her kneeling on the floor, crying.  It was obvious that something had seriously freaked her out.  So I turned on the lights to see what was bothering her.

It was like a freaking shrine to the Illuminati.  There were big posters of the Eye of Providence, and pyramids and archaic nonsense everywhere. There was fake blood on the walls and triangle symbols drawn on sheets on the floor, with this floating pyramid and pictures of weird-looking monsters...it was creepy, and I understood why this girl might have been crying.  But then I saw the messages that were left for her to decode:

This was written using one of the ciphers in the packet, so I asked her if she had decoded any of them.  She said yes, and she began to get out her notebook.  During that time, I was vowing to find the guy that did this and have a serious talk with him about what qualifies as too scary for kids. She showed me the answer to the first one, and it translated to I INVOKE THE ANCIENT POWER THAT I MAY RETURN.

I swear, my jaw freaking dropped.  Whoever this guy was, he must have been part of some demonic cult or Satanist group.  I immediately went to translate the second one, and it spelled out PAIN IS HILARIOUS!!!!

This one--though it was much more sadistic than the last--actually caught me off guard, because I knew I had heard that line somewhere unrelated to the haunted house.  I searched the room for anything that would jog my memory, and after scanning the posters again, I saw drawings that resembled these pictures:

I closed my eyes.  I took a deep breath.  Then I turned to the girl and asked her if she watched Gravity Falls.

It took me five minutes to calm her down after that.  I went ahead and helped her solve the puzzle, then tried to track down the guy that had done this.  I didn't know whether I was going to scold him or congratulate him, though.  Scaring the kid wasn’t nice, but it looked like it had been laid out in an attempt to find a Bill Cipher fan.

Good job, whoever you are.  You found one.
