Details in Stan's letter that still haunt me

(how long will I continue thinking about a two page letter that's technically not even that long because Stan's handwriting is fricking large? .....you don't need to worry about that.)

The bro code only shows up in the Lost Journal pages, and to me Stan's message feels like it purposely echoes Ford's "miss you" in the college photo (and for some reason the message doesn't appear in the website version of the photo?) ....or alternatively Stan simply noticed how distressed Ford was about this entire thing and wanted to support him in a way so he can be sappy but without the kids knowing, or both!

Stan's claim about the Oregon lottery contradicts what the Lost Legends website said about Tate McGucket's ability to predict the winning numbers!! ...but also breaking into the Lottery HQ is definitely a very Stan thing to do and it's not the first time small gags have been retconned

Despite spending most of his letter nonchalantly destroying him, the taunt about ripping a dollar bill in half is the only part where Stan is directly responding to Bill. Maybe it's the two of them having similar ways of thinking but it's rather specific considering Bill taunts the reader about it...

And after Bill spends an entire book calling Ford Sixer despite normally using a pretty wide range of nicknames for him, Stan then spends his letter mainly referring to Ford as Sixer, even though post-Weirdmageddon he tends to use a mix of nicknames. And it's not like he'd gotten to see Bill himself for long, let alone see him steal that childhood nickname (that is only used twice in the actual show btw!). Did Ford tell him what happened or...?

With all this and the website's "still on your mind" message, what I'm getting at is my tinfoil hat theory of Stan somehow seeing some of the pages the irl readers saw, even when it should be personalised to the specific reader, and he's been lying about it for some reason. Considering that the book flat out doesn't make an attempt at convincing Soos, I find it a stretch that whatever Bill was telling Stan via the book was an attempt to convince him either.

Wouldn't be the first time Stan's skimmed through a book and lied about what it meant to him.

(...Now I kinda wanna see a story about the family reading their versions of the book and making fun of it while Stan is improvising every single one of his pages and blatantly ignoring Bill's attempts to mock and taunt him)

But also I'm fascinated by the letters that only showed up on the website (aka the Soos+Wendy+McGucket+Pacifica ones). I'm assuming that Mabel had stuck them on after Stan's letter... but they were basically eaten by the book itself because seeing Stan's letter kick-started Bill's breakdown which takes up the rest of the book

You guys should be really glad I was too young to post online about Gravity Falls but now you guys have to deal with the whiplash of the Gravity Falls fan in me returning, and it was BAD…

One time at school me and my sister gathered a group of kids to make that Bill Cipher summoning circle (was it a summoning circle I actually forgot)… Jesus Christ…

Another time I grabbed my sisters 3Ds, recorded Bill Ciphers death, reversed it with the audio features on there, just to see what he said before he died, anyway I was freaking out over the axolotl thing for awhile ☠️☠️

ALSO I FUCKING LOVED THAT BILL CIPHER LOCKET BUT MY BROTHER BROKE THE CLOCK IN IT SO IT DOESNT WORK NOW… IM STILL PISSED ABOUT THAT

Anyway guys I’m so normal about this show! 👍

"Why is Dandelion so loyal to Geralt, what is it about Geralt that attracts him so much" what a dumb question. If you were a neurotic mess in your late teens-early twenties who, as far as we know, had no close friendships for most of your life and a 6 foot something guy with beautiful white hair and the worst self-esteem you've ever seen saved your life and then let you travel with him FOR FREE because you're both broke as fuck and even got you food and put up with all your incessant word vomit and philosophised with you on the road wouldn't you be ride or die for him too

I’m legitimately gonna explode if I don’t find someone else who understand the background tragedy of the Gleeful Family in Gravity falls.

My friend, who has only read the first httyd book, described it as "diary of a wimpy kid but with dragons".

I never read dairy of a wimpy kid, so I don't know how to feel about this.

Where are my fellow bitches who are a little too feral about obscure childhood reads

Like. I can't be the only one who read the pushcart war and mail-order wings and the reverse island of dr moreau book and that one about the cockroach boy who turned into a human

My wife's white whale is a book about a loon whose mom told them not to swim to the bottom of the lake and they did and found a lovecraftian eye and they DON'T REMEMBER HOW IT ENDS

(Mystic Code Book Chapter 7 - Series Timeline; edit originally from this post)

Me whenever I remember Don, Emma, Gilda, and Ray spent more time with Zack than Lucas or Yuugo but I rarely see any Big Bro Zack works of him interacting with them </3

i read an article in The Point the other day b/c multiple people were like "i liked the analysis of Austen in it"

there is an analysis of Austen's work in said article (a pretty mundane take that i've seen before, by a critic much more eloquent/interesting than this one)

but also, the entire article had such a wildly sneeringly misogynistic undercurrent & utterly unearned air of haughtiness that i felt like i was losing my mind, because why did no one else point this out? was no one else bothered by this???

so then i did some googling b/c who the fuck is this writer even

and apparently the writer made their viral debut with one of those "confessional essay clickbait by the most unselfaware OR most cynically-manipulative person alive" articles in The Cut, on the topic of: "i don't get why my female classmates at Harvard didn't realize the whole point was to get their Mrs degree (with some rich older guy at the business school), clearly they must just be vain and short-sighted and foolish & they're all secretly jealous of me and my husband"

lol. lmao.
