Good day for the dogs

Guys… I invented a new creature.

Soose is love, soose is life.

genuinely asking isn't "soos's" misspelled? shouldn't it be " soos' "? I'm asking because I'm korean so I'm not truly sure if what I am asking is alright ya or i just get it wrong lol.

In writing it depends on what "style guide" you are following. Which are just sets of writing standards. (We were taught "MLA" standard in school where I lived.) When it comes to names a lot of them find adding the 's acceptable.

So Soos's would be okay.

I’ll never not be upset that Asus is pronounced “Ay-soose”

So thoughts on the Gravity Falls episode of Amphibia, after a second watch of it.

It's very much in the spirit of Gravity Falls for AU versions of its characters to exist in other worlds, but I think that it's interesting that this isn't a Frog Gravity Falls... It's a different frog town that just happens to contain Frog Stan, Frog Soos, and Frog Gnomes (Fromes, as they're labeled in the Museum).

Also worth noting that all the Amphibia evidence suggests Anne is from the prime Gravity Falls Earth, but she hasn't met anyone else in either place who seemed like a counterpart of someone from the other world. Amphibia is not Frog AU Earth, generally speaking - it's very much its own thing.

Then there's the Frog Shack itself:

First off I love that it's on the main street of a completely different frog town but it still has to simulate having evergreens around it. <3 That's essential.

But also hoo boy is it clear that whoever built this place was in dealings with Bill Cipher. It is UNMISTAKABLE. So. That's concerning.

And you know what else is concerning? Frog Stan. Not that he's slightly eviller than our Stan, I'm okay with that (it's not like he even killed any of his waxworks, they're FINE). My concern is WHERE IS HIS FAMILY??

This is set in 2019. Even if his personal timeline isn't in sync with GF's, Bill has been dead for seven years. Where is Frog Ford? Where are the frog Mystery Twins?? Why is Frog Stan apparently alone in his hut with just Frog Soos, trying to make money??

I'm worried about this Stan. If things didn't get better for him in 2012, when will they get better? If he's got the same background as canon Stan, something has clearly gone sideways. :(

Returning to the multiverse considerations, however, I have some points: Frog Stan makes a couple remarks that imply he thinks his frog world is weird; he dismisses Frog Soos's musings on the multiverse in a way that sounds exactly like "Stan dismissing things he secretly knows are real"; and he HAS A CD WALKMAN. WHERE DID HE GET THAT.

He SAYS he got it from Newtopia but we later learn Newtopia has seen zero multiverse travel for a thousand years. Anne & Co. didn't bring this one, or she would have recognized it and said something. STAN. WHERE DID YOU GET THE HUMAN TECHNOLOGY.

Anyway. My working half-explanation for Frog Stan is that he is A) probably not originally from Amphibia but B) definitely did some dimension-traveling sometime in the '00s, somehow. Was he a frog when he started? Unclear. Is he a basic Portal (Frog) Stan who's been traveling since the '80s, is this his own dimension that he had to return to, or is there a more complicated backstory? Don't know.

BUT if he's met other Sooses that would at least explain why this one is "Frog Soos." :P If he's not in his own dimension, that would explain why he's not in a version of Gravity Falls and doesn't have frog niblings around (though it doesn't explain Frog Soos or the fromes), and any kind of portal travel would explain the Walkman.

Unfortunately, if he built the Curiosity Hut after coming to Amphibia, this suggests he made a deal with Bill at some point. :/ And I'm still very concerned about where his brother might be and if he has any remaining hope of finding him.

(It's fine though! It's fine. Our Pines Family can find him at some point and help out, probably. They're good at that. Especially if Anne meets them and is able to tell them about Frog Stan.)

(prev) Hater heartily laughed at Bishop Percival’s impression. He was about to demand to hear more when he heard Peepers’ shrill voice from the other side of him and froze. “It’s soused gurnard you uneducated swine! You didn’t even use a single word in that sentence right!” Peepers snootily huffed before mocking Percy right back. “That hideous, gag-inducing, loathsome guy who smells like a cheap pickled fish will be nothing but nonsense once my toy gun spills his red zinfandel, a commonly pink bargain bin girly drink!” …Wow, Peepers could do that too!? Hater glanced between Percy and Peepers several times. Peepers’ impression was slightly off but that only made Hater realize how similar they sounded. How ironic! Hater couldn’t help but snort at both his impression and how funny it was that the two watchdogs constantly at each other’s throats had similar voices. Which, of course, attracted Peepers’ attention and if looks could kill he’d be dead on the spot. So he immediately threw his new “bud” under the bus. “I know right?” Hater said with a casual scoff. “I told him it was actually soosed ganard! And I totally knew it was gross fish food.” “Oh?” Peepers said as he tapped his foot like a feline stalking prey and raised half his eyelid. “And how, exactly did it come up?” “I- well-” Hater nervously glanced around before pointing an accusatory finger at Peepers. “It’s YOUR fault for always saying weird stuff!” Peepers’ eye briefly widened as he started to step back. After a moment he climbed up Hater’s cloak in a flash so he could grab a fistful of his hood and look him in the eyes as he yelled, “Weird? WEIRD!? You’re the one that calls yourself O.P! It’s overpowered you idiot! You don’t actually say each letter! And that’s not even half as bad as pronouncing laughing out loud like lull! Fucking lull!”

The commander’s Percival impression got one laugh out of the Glornist crowd; a single chortle from Reverend Mike that accidentally slipped out. Percival glared at him while Mike pretended not to notice he was being glared at. 

When Commander Peepers crawled up to grab Hater’s hood and started yelling at him, Percy leaned away and put his hands to the sides of his forehead. When he was done, he leaned back toward Hater to speak to him like a little shoulder devil. 

“Glorn’s grievances, how do you put up with this guy, Lord Hater? Insulting your intelligence, doubting your word? Don’t listen to him. Someone as important and busy as you doesn’t have time to pronounce phrases in full!"

(Previous) Percival smiled at Hater. “There’s no trick or anything to it. I just think of the most annoying voice I can imagine and go,” he puffed his chest out and continued his impression, “that sussed gullet’ll be nothing but codswallop once my bean-shooter spills his red zinfandel!” Some of the surviving Glornists who were still following behind snickered as well.

Hater heartily laughed at Bishop Percival's impression. He was about to demand to hear more when he heard Peepers' shrill voice from the other side of him and froze.

...what *is* the correct pronunciation of "Asus"?

The correct one, according to the brand, is “Ay-soose”

I have ALWAYS pronounced it “Ay-SUS”
