Love Not Having A Fandom Specific Blog. Something New Will Just Consume My Mind And Everyone Has To Accept

Love not having a ”””fandom””” specific blog. Something new will just consume my mind and everyone has to accept it. My house

DON'T STOP TALKNG ABOUT CONGO

**It’s a privilege** to look forward to the launch of the new iPhone 16, while people in the DRC face modern-day slavery, mistreatment, and abuse as they mine the very minerals that power our cherished phones. Zoya Reebye, founder of Let’s Talk WOC, sheds light on the unimaginable hardships women in the Democratic Republic of the Congo endure in the mines. From being underpaid to facing a rising rate of sexual assault, these women live through a humanitarian crisis the world must not ignore. Even as teenagers, **we can make an impact** by amplifying the voices of those working in the DRC, raising awareness, and holding companies accountable for their actions. 1. **Raise awareness** about the situation in the DRC. The more people know, the more pressure we can put on those responsible. 2. **Be mindful** of your consumer choices. 3. **Do your research.** Investigate the supply chains of companies you buy from, choose refurbished or secondhand electronics, and recycle your devices responsibly. Let’s strive for a world where our technology is not built on exploitation.

Currently being consumed by an Epic the Musical x Gravity Falls AU send help

Okay but seriously I've got a whole AU mapped out at this point and this would probably be the rough character lineup

Ford - Odysseus

Stanley - Eurylochus

Shermie - Polites (I swear there's a very good and comprehensible explanation for this)

Fiddleford - Perimides AND Elpnor (as per the cut songs)

Bill - Poseidon, and possibly also Zeus

Mabel and Dipper - Telemachus <3

In this au, Filbrick was king of Ithaca and sent his son Stanley off to fight in the Trojan war, but through a series of horrible misunderstandings, all three of the sons, including Shermie, who was next in line for the throne, get sent on the ships. Ford kind of naturally takes charge, because Shermie was never really a leader-y type.

Ten years of war pass, and there's probably a lot of drama and character development [Polites choosing to be kind despite the war and Shermie choosing to be kind too, despite the Vietnam War (in some aus at least) (i love the ex-military Shermie headcanon sm) can be something so special]

Turns out, when Shermie left, his wife was actually pregnant! They had a pair of twins (Dipper and Mabel are Shermie's kids in this AU, for obvious reasons)

Filbrick dies while his sons are at war, and his wife, Caryn, takes over in his stead. Why? Because. Dipper and Mabel are now in line for the throne, which is probably very stressful and makes them both the Telemachus of this au

Stuff happens, Shermie wants to go home and meet his kids after 10 whole years (I might shorten the time they spend at sea to 2 just so Mabel and Dipper are 12), and Shermie... dies.

This obviously drives tension between Ford and Stanley 'Miscommunication' Pines, leading to trust issues down the road. They both just want to get home to see their mom and niece and nephew again.

(This is getting really long jifojgisjjflks and I haven't even mentioned Fiddleford and his parallels with the Lotus, or how Bill would play into the story. This AU is consuming me)

(Would anyone be interested in a Part 2?)
