On another (now dead) blog I had I went off topic to talk about xenofiction.. it's something I've always loved a lot and the gist of that post was that it was always disappointing when the narrative, in the point of view of some type of Creature, didn't read any different from a human pov... griffons are very popular in xenofic and it used to annoy me that the writers rarely seemed to know much about birds at all, how they breathed or vocalised or so on. Anyway I'm still searching for a good book about a Creature which provides an informed and interesting insight into their lives, so if anyone has any recs lmk

Jack slander: wears a black suit to the Met Gala

Jack truth: allows Bitty complete creative control over his costume and shows up in something absolutely WILD and when asked by the press why he chose such a "daring outfit," he's just like "euh, my husband liked it?"

FINAL CHAPTER FINAL CHAPTER FINAL CHAPTER--

This is for the second Fox's Tongue book. It is always such a high, sitting down and staring at the very last of my outline notes. Like, that's it, folks. Hoping to actually finish writing this weekend. Then I can treat myself to some Blind!Zuko outlining, or maybe finish up Little Zuko. As a treat. <3

Pchem never ends... I have to start revising phase equilibria today which might be my most loathed least favorite chapter. I don't know, the diagrams just never clicked, but hopefully that'll change - there's still time.

ft. a new book! I've been really craving science fiction lately + I've heard great things about this one, so I'm pretty excited to dig into it :)

Gravity Falls Tarot - Part 3 of 3

Assignment of every Major Arcana to someone/something in the Gravity Falls Universe! Broken into parts for coherence.

In this section we cover the final seven cards from The Devil to The World.

Part 1 | Part 2

15.) The Devil - Bill Cipher

Keywords: Obsession, addiction, dependence, excess, and selfish

Through The Devil we find Baphomet ruling over his dominion, the greedy and unfulfilled. Bill Cipher is an ancient evil, a demon from another dimension who has long attempted to conscript humanity into fulfilling his ambitions. From a young age Bill had yearned for more, for the stars themselves. Eventually, he liberated himself at the cost of his world and his family.

Despite his immense power Bill was lonely and collected others willing to trade it all for a chance at the stars. In comes one Stanford Pines, the human who will, after eons of failures, succeed at constructing the device Bill has sought.

Even after Weirdmaggedon, after usurping control of time itself, Bill was stifled, and turned on by the humans he'd attempted to enslave. Bill sat atop a throne of lies, bringing chaos to the world, but even he could not control the fire he started.

16.) The Tower - The Portal

Keywords: Upheaval, destruction, trauma, chaos, and punishment

The Tower crumbles under the weight of natural forces...or is the lighting divine retribution? The Portal in Gravity Falls contributes to much of the mystery and misery of the narrative. In reverse we learn; Stan gathers the journals to start the portal, Ford constructs the portal alongside McGucket with the latter deeming it too dangerous, and Bill Cipher yearns for the portals completion.

For Stan the portal is atonement, amends made for pushing his brother into it thirty years ago. For Ford the portal is ascension, a manifestation of his genius and dedication towards discovering the truth. For Bill the portal is escape, release from his 2D confines and the power to exert his will across the cosmos.

Whether its through its construction, activation, or destruction the Portal embodies facing the truth that truth changes, and not all thats revealed is glamorous.

17.) The Star - Mabel Pines

Keywords: Hope, inspiration, rejuvanation, renewal, and blessing

The Star stands in the wake of The Towers collapse both fragile and faithful. Mabel, the shooting star herself, is the second half of our dynamic duo with Dipper - his equal and opposite. Mabel is a force of passion, comedy, and optimism embodying all the frivolities of childhood we grow to miss.

When Weirdmaggedon strikes Mabel is at her lowest, reckoning with the end of summer and the threat of abandonment by her other half. Consumed by these fears she falls to Bills temptations and withdraws into a world of bliss constructed to guard her heart. Only Dipper, earnest and resolute, could provide his sister the push needed to face reality head on.

Mabel is inspiring to many and the love she carries is integral to restoring Stan's memories after his great sacrifice. When her cup runs dry Dipper will be there to fill it for her, and that bond will carry both twins into the future.

18.) The Moon - Robbie Valentino

Keywords: Confusion, illusion, clarity, darkness, and phases

The Moon fortells a parting of the clouds, an opportunity to see through the shroud of night. Robbie is Gravity Falls' resident angsty teen, wrapped in black clothing and sour expressions. As a teenager he is naturally in transition with childhood behind him and adulthood on the horizon.

After breaking up with Wendy, brought about by his own insecurities leading him to rely on hypnotism, Robbie is seen listless and forlorn. It's not until Robbie himself is exposed to magical forces that he begins a relationship with Tambry. Through the Love God's potion his eyes are opened to a chance at happiness he'd otherwise overlooked.

"But you were right, just needed to move on. I'm...happy. Weird, huh?"

19.) The Sun - The Stan Twins

Keywords: Happiness, vitality, success, radiance, and energy

The Sun is the rediscovery of ones fervor, looking through the world with fresh eyes and zeal. The Stan twins did not have a perfect childhood, but in one another they found comradery able to weather the toughest storm.

As the boys grew their relationship strained, burdened by insecurities thrust upon them by their surroundings. At a critical moment everything collapsed and for decades the pieces lay untouched. By the end of Gravity Falls the brothers have taken the pieces of their relationship and reconstructed the boat from their childhood, the Stan O' War II.

Things won't be the same, but that doesn't mean they'll be worse - The Sun will rise again.

20.) Judgement - Time Baby

Keywords: Awakening, purpose, reckoning, finality, and responsibility

Judgement signals the curtain call. The last of his kind Time Baby rules over the dominion of time, leading officers who maintain the stability of our universe. When a criminal or rogue agent enters our world Time Baby provides them warning if possible and destruction if required.

At multiple points Time Baby confronts Bill Cipher, the most pressing threat to time and space. In their final encounter Time Baby is overpowered, granting Bill control over Time.

There is always a judge and we can only hope they are merciful.

21.) The World - The Axolotl

Keywords: Completion, achievement, belonging, unity, and closure

The World. To swim amongst the waters of creation and know that you are both byproduct and origin - that with every breath you take the world breathes with you. The Axolotl is a divine entity, benevolent and wise in its ministrations.

The World has come full circle, dancing with the same whimsy of The Fool. It carries the lessons of all Arcana before it, allowing it to impart those lessons on all who will encounter it going forward.
