adding more to the Stanley Pines talk in relation to Bill... Bill concludes Stan is too dumb to manipulate which is exactly what gives him an edge later... Stanley Pines has been underestimated for his entire existence- even though there's ample evidence he's just as smart as Ford, their constant comparison always left Stanley last. Stanley uses that as a weapon in the end, with Bill, who didn't even think it could be a trick, because neither him nor Ford thinks like Stan does.

Both Stans are insecure, praise scarce, and love seeking, but express it in different ways. Ford got overly attached to things that lifted him up, blinding him to the manipulation around him, and Stan rejects it completely, so hungry for it it makes him nervous and paranoid. The only one Stanley trusts with any attention to himself is, painfully, Ford. By the time they're older, and more grown, those edges have been filed down, and their attention seeking behaviors blur together, but they're still there. Stanley still doesn't find his life and existence useful; Ford has so much shame for "being tricked," essentially being not "smart enough" to see what Bill was... We get to see a resolution for Ford in TBOB, but we have to assume Stan learns to live for himself AND his family after that being the sole focus for him for his whole life prior.

month two without my dad. it is just now hitting that I'll never get to talk to him again. I don't know what he thinks about my new recipes, I can't show him a new TV show. I can still dream about his voice, but that will leave with time, too. I'm going to be without him forever.

hello everynyan, i've been spending the post wisdom teeth removal process (i'm doing fine, very minimal pain) doing a lot of art and i came to a realization abt the way i've done art for my life that i posted a bit abt on my ig but abridged to hell and back bc yk instagram. but yeah, i've always had a very messy art style. lots of paint splatters and running ink splots and collage. I never did anything clean or in one medium only. I had a very disordered and messy style which often fit the theme of the piece as a lot of my trauma was represented in my art. and now i'm doing like a pop color esque portrait of my dog and I think it's the cleanest piece I've done in a very long time for a personal piece. I had "clean" pieces i made for projects that had to be clean, but not many things i made for me. and, it's very interesting. bc like, i honestly think I used to have that messy art style because I was afraid. Like the style I had was also cool as hell and I really like it still. but another layer of it was I was too scared to commit to doing something realistic, clean, and defined and it looked bad. Bc if it's messy and bad, it's almost part of the style. but with clean, highly technical work, there is no room for error. If it's off then it really looks off and needs to be corrected. And I never liked that. i never had the patience. I wanted my art to be a cathartic, messy, one take release of feelings. I never wanted to have to actually focus on skill and that's not wrong. there is nothing wrong with that if that's what art is for you. but for me, i wanted a certain level of technique and skill that i never really had the guts to commit to. and I saw other try to do that while having less talent than me, and i never got it. my ex was like that. It's mean but i did always think my art was better than his while we were in hs. It kinda made me question why he tried so hard to be good at art when he art wasn't bad but was always missing something. It was missing some sort of spark, and I saw him trying to find it and was like, why? Which again, was mean. I was very wrong for that and was honestly just bitter bc i didn't have that sort of work ethic. (but like i was a traumatized 17 year old with little going for me. like it made sense. )This is bc i did always had a raw talent for art and i feel like a lot of ppl could see that that. He always came to me for color mixing and a bunch of things, like line or design. Like i knew that i could more effortlessly pull of certain things from young. I'm actually not sure how much was talent but rather i spent more time thinking abt art than my peers. But as I got older and ego became mixed in, art felt like something only I and a handful of other sad weird kids could have. It felt wrong to see people try and improve when it felt like their lives were normal. which was so wrong and short sighted of me, but i felt it. It came from a very hurt, insecure place and I am over that now. but it was true, that's how i felt. and it was wrong. And now that i can look back on my past self and her body of work, I think i can appreciate what she did and how far she came and now i can create art from an empowered place. now i can dare to do what i hesitated from due to fear of failure. to fear that all i had wasn't good enough. and its liberating bc now i can create to truly create and that's wonderful. I'm still not fully there yet. Like, there is a lot more I want to do and routines i need to create and mental blocks to overcome before i'm really back in my creative flow like i was when i had more time on my hands. but yea, it's nice, it feels really nice. Like looking back and seeing how far i've come. so yeah. just wanted to share. love you all and hope you all are in a good place in your creative journey's or are on the way there. peace .

hi! i finally found a tank to put some snails in!! only issue though, is that i found it on the street and it has a crack in it.. it's not big enough for any snails to possibly escape, but im worried about it possibly being sharp and cutting a snail. should i put something over it? if so, what would you recommend?

hello hello! thanks for the ask.

The way snails move combined with their slime, means that they can technically crawl over a razor blade without getting cut, so I wouldn't stress about that. If you have concerns with the crack potentially getting larger/the tank breaking, or if you are concerned about getting cut while cleaning the tank, some aquarium silicone is a perfectly safe choice.

If you're having trouble finding that, look for some 100% silicone that cures with acetic acid, ideally clear but colour is up to you. When wet/uncured, it should smell like vinegar, then you just leave it for a couple days :) I hope this helps!!

Just spent all day rehearsing asking my southern boomer dr to prescribe me T and making a mental power point and going in ready to fight and then when I brought it up he didn’t even look up from his computer and said ‘ok sure I can do that.’ And then when I recounted this tale to my family my mom was like ‘oh yeah :) he has a trans daughter we talked about it last time I went and saw him :)’ Like girl. You couldn’t? Have told me that? Earlier???

my fav thing to do w my nanny kid (I've been taking care of her since she was 3, she is now six) is to vastly misunderstand any directions she gives me-- "DONT drop my bowl!" "Throw the bowl on the ground super hard??" "NOOO!!!"

Lying to children is fun when they know you are being ridiculous. When you hold up a carrot like “guys look at this huge Cheeto” and they all scream “NOOOOOOOOO that’s a CARE-OTT!”

“What? No, it’s my giant Cheeto.”

“NOOOOOOO!”

I’ve seen a lot of conflicting suggestions on what to put in an enclosure! If a flower pot is too hard and could risk a broken shell, what should I put in my snail terrarium to help them hide?

Hello friend!! Thanks for the ask.

I have a couple posts on this, here and here, but put simply, ceramic/stone/terracotta are nos, plastic and those resin hides sold for reptiles are both good! I honestly love the reptile hide I have for my snails, from a brand called Exo-Terra. My snails have taken many a tumble onto it with no problems. Plastic plant pots are great too! If you have something that you're not sure would be too hard or not, a nice thick cushion of sphagnum moss on top is a really easy way to make things safer, though I'd not do so with a ceramic/terracotta pot bc I worry the moss might slip off the round surface haha. I hope this helps!!
