Good for you from Dear Evan Hansen but Bill is Evan and Axolotl, Oracle and Ford and Sadie, Alana and Jared

"Bill Cipher is bisexual and polyamorous," I say into the mic. The crowd boos. I begin to walk off in shame when a voice speaks and commands silence from the room.

"She's right," They say. I look for the owner of the voice, there in the second row stands Bill Cipher himself.

Anyone else thinks DC should've made Dick and Barbara's relationship be more like Dipper and Wendy's from Gravity Falls? As in "I had childhood crush on an older girl who's now just one of my closest friends"?? Just me? Okay...

We started rewatching Young Justice recently and all of the "sidekicks" were upset at being treated like children and being kept in the dark and not having access to information and i just?? I don't think Batman would believe in withholding information from Robin

Dick gets into everything everywhere all of the time there is no peace or privacy from him. And Bruce has never dealt with children before how is he supposed to know whats 'appropriate' for a child to know or have access to.

Speedy: it's such bs that they don't trust us with information Robin: haha what? Green Arrow: It's hard keeping information from my partner/subordinate but it's for his own good. He's a child and he can't be trusted with that sort of power yet. Do you struggle with Robin wanting access to information he doesn't have the clearance for? Batman, who's never kept a single secret from Dick and couldn't if he tried: um. yeah. absolutely.

I'm still waiting to get into the Hades II technical test (c'mon email) but seeing the stream of it means redesigning Cybill and making The Obvious Joke

2 in the morning and thinking about barbra gordon

god knows you deserve a writer who actually knows you, artists who don’t sexualize you, and fans who appreciate you for who you are, and doesn’t diminish you for being/becoming disabled <33

I lied I indeed drew them again, a bit of lore never hurts anyone✨

Dick makes his way back at sunrise and calls Barbra to tell her he has to trail tarantula until he finds out her real identity. Barbra snaps at him and dick asks if she’s worried about him and tarantula. Barbra asks if he wants her to be and dick tells her of course he doesn’t. Dick then ends the calls because he has to head to work. He has still hasn’t slept. (Nightwing vol 2 #78)

Unicorn Overlord is hilarious actually, bc I'm so used to FE "this obviously not evil, typically conventionally attractive character will join you if you have the right character talk to them"

meanwhile UO is like "you beat this person up, they have a unique character model and a name, you have the choice to recruit them or kill them, but they will 100% no-questions-asked join you if you recruit them. Despite the fact that you just kicked their ass" like most of the recruits aren't even being mind-controlled, they're just like "yeah whatever, I guess I'll work for you"

this also means that I have allowed known murderer-thieves from the local thief gang to go free, with very lawful-good characters sitting there like, "Alain, milord, what the fresh FUCK are you thinking" while I'm here like, "I dunno that guy looks like a drowned fish and he might not be lying about his bedridden sister" and "oh this other guy doesn't look like he was drawn to be a cartoonishly evil villain, and his story corroborates the story about the bedridden sister, so I'm letting him go too bc now I'm invested in these weird criminals and their maybe-not-a-lie sister". I sincerely hope I can recruit them later on.

like I just keep getting handed characters, but the combat system works so well for having a ridiculous number of characters that it makes sense, but it's so funny that I literally just kicked down the doors to this dude's city, beat him up, complimented his city's upkeep, and he joined me.

meanwhile Alain is sitting here fretting and worrying bc I'm taking too long to go rescue Scarlett, and I'm like don't worry buddy, I don't think there's penalties if we go complete these 5 side quests to get 5 new recruits before we head east, she'll be fine. Probably.

I do sometimes wonder if Ford thinks about the pieces of information he has about Bill. Specifically his assumption that Bill's dimension was similar to Exwhylia + what Bill says about his dimension in the penthouse. Does he ever wonder if Bill is more than Just A Monster? Even if so, he probably chooses not to look into it after Bill dies. He does not need to deal with even more pain.

No but what the hell was going on with Talia. She flip flops every five fucking seconds during the Ra's boss and its cutscenes. One minute Bruce is barely good enough to face the trials, the next she's declaring she had no doubts at all, then she's crying 'you lied to me beloved!' then she's going to help Ra's off the floor, then she declare him a terrible father for immediately betraying her, then she's all 'this is our destiny!' Oh and they had the slapping the man trope which betrays the male writer every time.

I have a headcanon that the reason Jestrellabraum told Ford “You have the face of the man destined to defeat Bill.” is because he needed to believe he had a chance. So he would keep moving, and end up exactly where and when the portal reopened.

To me it always felt like Stanford thinks he’s an awful person for ever trusting Bill. And that the only way to redeem himself is to kill Cipher. He didn’t believe he could be forgiven by strangers or family or God, not without fulfilling this mission.

Ford has an ego, but it’s fed by insecurities and self doubts and the weight of his mistakes. He didn’t understand that it was far worse to be distant and cold to Stan than to admit his past with Bill.

Anyone else would be able to see he’s sorry he trusted that monster, and trying to make up for it. That he’s a good person despite his flaws, but Stanford didn’t get that. It’s wasn’t good enough, nowhere near good enough.

To me, the Oracle was told to speak that way by God, or I guess the Axolotl (I’m Christian)

Ford needed to be guided towards Stanley, not succeed in his self-inflicted redemption. But if he was told he wouldn’t be the one to kill Cipher, it would absolutely crater him. If he can’t redeem himself, what hope is there?

I’m sure she wanted to tell him that he isn’t required to defeat Bill to be a good person. God doesn’t want him to put himself through that. And that she, despite being a former henchmaniac, found peace and redemption without a mission like his.

But it wouldn’t have worked. He wasn’t ready and she wasn’t the right person for the job. Ford needed to stop pushing people way and be saved by the person he hurt the most.

Stanford needed to be safe in Gravity Falls, with Cipher finally locked away where he couldn’t torment him again. Needed to see his family still love him after reading the book of Bill, reading what happened to him.

That, and Stan languished for 30 years looking for his twin. His mission needed to actually succeed. Even if Ford didn’t react well to it, him being back would at least take some of the stress and sleep deprivation away.

Stanley needed to know he’s a good person too, he felt like a screw up his whole life. And personally defeating Cipher would make it a little easier to stomach the Book of Bill. “Yes Ford got abused, but I shattered the monster who did it into a million tiny pieces.”

Also Stan being safe in Gravity Falls for 30 years, instead of homeless and getting hunted down by old enemies. Not being in conflict with the local cryptids, having Soos and Wendy around as an encouragement, people who care.

Now Stan has his brother in case anyone from his past does try to get him on their trip. He gets to finally sail, and knows wherever Bill is, he’s not happy snd trying to hide it.

Anyways, enough of me yapping.

You know what this has been taking over my thoughts for a while so might as well get it out. This is going to be long so buckle up if you want.

There's something I never see mentioned in fics or anywhere else and that's the fact that Stanford was homeless for 30 years. Sure he was traveling from dimension to dimension but from what I can tell Ford was doing basically the exact same thing that Stan had been doing homeless for 10 years if not worse.

He can rationalize it away as all done for the greater good but Ford was a wanted criminal in what seems like hundreds of entire dimensions and likely not allowed to return to many (if he even could) much like Stan was banned from multiple states.

He had a huge bounty on his head and had to be paranoid and careful and on the run constantly just like Stan had been when he owed people like say Rico money.

The biggest difference I can see is that Where Stan was trying to both survive but also make those millions so he'd be worth something to his family and maybe they'd take him back, Ford wasn't expecting to get out of this alive.

Sure he was working towards killing Bill with this singular focus but it seems like Ford was fully expecting to die in the process. Ford fancied himself the hero sure but he was fully prepared to not make it out of that alive.

I actually think that, that whole mindset started even before he fell through the portal. He'd been tormented by Bill physically and mentally for at minimum a month by this point if not longer so when he was desperate enough to reach out for help from Stan. If Stan had taken his journal and left like he wanted I don't think Ford was planning on living much longer. To him there was no way out and if for all his smarts he'd still fallen for Bill's tricks.

For as much as he tried to cover it up he was still terrified that Bill could get to and hurt Stan. He didn't think he was worth saving but the world and everyone/everything was. Unless someone else stepped in I fully believe that Ford would have done something drastic if Stan had taken the journal and left that would have ended in his own death but at least everyone would be safe from Bill. Had no one stepped in in any case.

And I think that carried over on the other side of the portal. His single goal was to kill Bill, and it very much seems like he was prepared and ready to die doing so. He was already doing something drastic.

All this to say I think among all the new quirks and changes that Stan sees, I think he'd see some habits and things he did while he was homeless in Ford. Given enough time while on the ship I think they'd bond more over those shared experiences, and spot those key differences as well.

I think these things could be taken advantage of a bit more.
