24h eddie is so the type to be like “do you need me to come fight someone? or come get you?” when you’re just like ranting about a coworker being annoying
“no, unfortunately murder for microwaving tuna in the break room is frowned upon”
i see your scenario and raise you the scenario that prior to all this, he would have absolutely been the annoying coworker who microwaved tuna.

i have a counter argument to the 'only one person can boop bill' thing, mabel. she's the type of person to slap stickers on people, she would definitely be the type to also boop others occasionally and bill would be no exception. she probably doesn't do it to annoy bill like dipper would, but maybe as a form of a friendly gesture, kind of like those people who will lightly punch friends in the arm when they hang out.
You know what? Good point. Mabel would get away with more than most, as a fun-loving lady! Bill understands those impulses, and being a touchy person! He indulges in similar ones himself.
Though when Bill's not in the mood to be playful and gets booped anyway? The 'sister-in-law' status grants her considerable grace.

I saw a post complaining about people acting like Betty is some kind of poor little girl taken advantage of by her situation. And while I haven't seen this happening myself, it does make me laugh to think about because like,
Ma'am, that woman nearly killed everyone in the world *TWICE* trying to save her husband, INCLUDING TRYING TO MURDER ICE KING.
That woman has a body count that nobody asked her to make! She is just! So good! At crimes!! And we love that for her!!!

in network effect... it's probably going to be a small moment... but when they're trying to escape the hostile planet with art's crew...
and thiago goes back for seth
like.
these are total strangers. they barely even know art. they know nothing of its crew. they got dragged here entirely against their will. they have absolutely no emotional connection to these people whatsoever, except that they are also people, and they need help, and one of them has fallen behind.
and so thiago goes back to save someone he a) has never met before, b) probably doesn't even know the name of, c) has absolutely no emotional connection to, and d) was basically conscripted into coming into horrible danger to find, when he e) had every reason and excuse not to.
he could have kept running. he was leading the others to safety, he could have leaned on that excuse. he had nothing to gain from going back, and quite possibly very much to lose.
but he went back.
because humans, at our best, are the ones who go back for each other. even when it's objectively stupid. even when there's nothing in it for us.
not everyone will do it, but enough will. enough to be a defining trait of our species: we're the brilliant idiots who run into danger to save the wounded and bring each other out to safety. even if we don't know them. just because they can't get out on their own.
that's why it's such a Big Thing in stories when a character doesn't go back -- because this is ingrained into our dna. we have come this far because we build communities. because we build upon one another. because we go back for our wounded even when it's dangerous and we could have gotten out safely and we don't even know them. that's why it's a marker of an evil person or a horribly fraught ethical situation in stories. because that is not who we are. we are not the ones who leave someone behind.
i just. i love what these books say about the nature of personhood and intelligence and love, but i also love what they say about humanity. we're not all bad. we're not our worst impulses. we are the ones who care about a sentient robot because if it can think, it's not a thing, and it deserves to be treated like a person, even if it doesn't want to be a human.
we are the ones who care. that's what makes us human.

ramble: ravinstill-dovecote friendships
You know what would be really funny? Because Clemmie and Felix are good friends in this AU and as were President Ravinstill and Hector Dovecote, Pres. Ravinstill probably draws comparisons between the two friendships.
Especially if this takes place after he got his signet ring back from Clemmie.
Dr. Gaul is probably going through it tbh
Pres. Ravinstill keeps telling her all about it and she really doesn't want to hear about Hector. AGAIN.
You'd think the man being dead 30+ years would have changed things. Nope.
Also Pres. Ravinstill is probably on the verge of a heart attack every time THE troublesome trio is in the districts (intentionally or not)
Did you really think our trio (Felix/Iphigenia/Clemensia) only ended up in the districts once? Nah.
Pres. Ravinstill has lost too many of his family & friends to the districts.
Felix, to his friends: Too bad we can't visit *insert district number* like we used to.
Pres. Ravinstill, overhearing them: *having flashbacks to every single person he's lost due to the districts*
Clemensia: Yeah, I'd want to see Reaper again!
Pres. Ravinstill, still in the shadows, listening: *remembering what happened the last time Hector Dovecote went to the districts*
Felix is like sort of his favourite grand-nephew (technically, he loves all his brother's descendants equally lol) and like how is he supposed to face Hector in the afterlife, if Hector's granddaughter is like, dead?
More AU thoughts and rambles here

Head canon: Thalia and Percy are both very awkward when it comes to receiving gifts cause neurodivergent and childhood trauma and what not. So they decided to only get each other weird things for holidays so they can just laugh instead of feeling all this pressure.
Example.
Thalia: Alright Perse, what'd you get me?
Percy: Well, since you've sworn off men and have decided to remain independent forever I got you these so you can still reproduce.
Percy: *holds up a handful of pine tree seeds*
Thalia: *snorts*
Thalia: *dying XD* What the fuck, Percy!
Percy: Do you like them?
Thalia: *wipes away a fake tear* This is the most Thoughtful gift I have ever received!
Percy: *Also dying*
Thalia: *Now southern for some reason* Give me my babies!
Percy: *places them in a forest green pouch with a little lightning bolt embedded on it*
Thalia: *hooks them to her belt* Thank you! I will cherish these forever!
Percy: You're welcome! Now what'd you get me?
Thalia: I also got something that represents you!
Thalia: *Brings out a large yellow object*
Percy:.... Is that a wet floor sign???
Thalia: Yup!
Percy: How does this represent me?
Thalia: Cause you're basically just a walking wet floor sign.
Percy: *loses it* I feel like I've just been insulted!?!
Thalia: *moves the sign away* What do you not want it?
Percy: *lunges for it* No I want it! It's mine!
Thalia: *laughing* alright then!
Percy: *hugging his new friend* One question though.
Thalia: Yeah?
Percy: Did you steal the wet floor sign?
Thalia: That is definitely a possibility!
Percy: *laughs*

LMAO trauma really will make you sit in silence, contemplating how you’re an irredeemable creature and don’t really belong anywhere and when your In-Brain-Therapist pipes up to say “but isn’t that what a lot of traumatized people think? isn’t that just a distorted view caused by our trauma and not actually a FACT?”, trauma will slap that bitch down, no hesitation, with, “hahaha yeah but i’m different tho.”

I've shipped meowztrosist and emriza (emma langevin x meowriza) and jerdriza is an excellent addition. I've never even seen them interact with her but i can SEE the potential. I think jawsh and riza would throw each other around like stress toys
omg YES. i've actually read your meowztrosist fic it was so good!! i'm such a big aztro fan lmao
back to the point though! back during the drama on sdmp a bit ago meowriza assigned herself jawsh's guard and troll defense, so she was patrolling the grounds around the cathedral and everything,, and at one point the three of them were just chilling inside the half-built cathedral and singing together and i haven't been normal about it since then
i might try to find where that happened again but i was watching meowriza's stream and i don't think the vod saved at all :( so i'd have to figure out if jawsh or berd were streaming at the time and then find it in there which is. a lot (i will be trying anyway)
