They/themI have ‘Tism, ADHD, and anxiety, and I’m queer as all hell, and I like to talk about those things. Beyond that, I shuffle through special interests like a deck of cards and I like to think I’m funny. Sometimes, I even draw. That’s it.

the axolotl recommended a new kind of coping mechanism for Bill in the theraprism! It’s going surprisingly well!
My next summer Dipper and Mabel!!
More info abt the designs:
They're so cool woah
Inktober and “catober,” days 1 and 2. I doubt I’ll do this consistently, but it’s good to get a challenge out there, so I suppose I’ll try!
Also, catober was made by artbystepho but they don’t seem to have a tumblr. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Anywho, you get my OCs and some cats, and also some Gravity Falls stuff! What’s young Ford “discover”ing? I don’t know, but that kind of looks like Stan’s car~
Aha, Stanley has experience with nerds (really just one but eh, Ford’s got a very classic-type science brain) so he may take the offer hoping he can score more than $10 by sucking up to someone. It would work, too— Cave Johnson would love his attitude, and he’d hit on anyone he met like a MFer, and scientists don’t get flirted with as much so they’re more susceptible. He’d get to go through several rounds of fascinating tests, make a good $100 or so, and once he got past how it reminded him of his nerd brother, he’d have a blast.
Dangit now I wanna see more from this au…
Gravity Falls x Portal au
Stanley in his 30s looking for a way to make money, while in Michigan, finds a flyer that a company called Aperture Science will give 10$ to anyone willingly (most likely unwillingly) to go through some tests.
Would he accept this offer and go to said company?
Sometimes queer discourse on this website reveals someone's issues to be legitimate, but concerningly non-universal.
stan is the only member of the pines twins^2 to never make a deal with bill and i think he needs more credit for that.
ford makes, just, so many deals with his demon boyfriend
dipper literally trades his body to bill in sock opera
and while i will die on the hill that it was never her fault, mabel is tricked into making a deal with him for weirdmagenon.
but stan never gets tricked. the only time he comes close was when he was pretending to be ford but that was with the sole purpose of getting bill erased. never does bill get to him or twist his thoughts. for being the "dumb one" he's surprisingly rational in this was.
nobody matches bill intellectually, ford's fatal flaw is that he thought he did, and the pines family wins because they have an emotional core that bill never had (the power of sibling bonding saves the day and i love it) but ill go out on a limb and say that out of everyone, stan is the only one to match bill's street smarts.
bill's a master manipulator but stan is a professional con-artist with no respect for the law, you tell me who's coming out on top.
stan successfully faked his own death, ran a business for 30 years, taught himself some sort of advanced engineering to repair the portal, evaded local, federal and international authorities from the age of 18, and did it all without any support.
and going back to when he pretends to be ford to get bill to enter his mind, that scene makes stan the only character to ever outwit bill.
anyways this has been a stan pines appreciation post, thank you and goodnight
Since we’ve all been getting our gravity falls obsessions back (and since my last drifting stars au art is one of my posts that keeps slowly getting new notes??) I thought I’d try again and make some Mabel Design Choices™. I really liked the black sweater idea, but now I gave her shooting star hair clips! So here’s a colored version and some sketches. I haven’t perfectly nailed it (and I forgot to make Ford’s jacket exist behind him) but it’s pretty solid.
I think without even realizing it, Ford would grow endeared and attached to her pretty quickly. I also think, besides the trauma of it all, Mabel would do pretty dang well wandering the multiverse.

Aroace positivity to outnumber the bots in our tags:
1. First of all, you are valid. Aroace, aroallo, and amatoace people are all inherently LGBTQ+ enough. It’s stupid to say otherwise. The queer community is (generally, and I’m v sorry if I miss anyone here,) for anyone who experiences attraction or gender differently from the current default social norm of cishet. Experiencing it not at all is plenty different enough.
2. This stuff is SO CONFUSING. It’s OKAY if you don’t understand your own feelings. Feelings are WEIRD. I’ve felt what I can only describe as strong queerplatonic attraction 3 times in my life, and in hindsight I can even identify my “type,” but I’m 20 so 3 isn’t very many and also I was equally happy dating them and not dating them.
2.5. (Story) I recently told my dad that my roomie and I are planning to still live together after college, and his response was “so you guys are officially a couple now?” ?????bro WHY would I do that? WHAT part of “living together” necessitates DATING?? That sounds STRESSFUL! Which brings me to,
3. AmatoAllos are going to struggle to understand. This is normal, fine, and not your fault. They can’t conceive of someone not experiencing sensations that are such a notable part of their lives. Be patient and don’t try to force them to get something they just don’t get, but also, that struggle is NOT an excuse to treat you poorly, NOT an excuse to try to push you into dating or copulating when you don’t want to, and NOT an excuse to not listen to you or to invalidate your experiences.
In summary: You’re not wrong, you’re not broken, you’re just different. Different is a neutral trait. If I could choose to stop being aroace right now? I genuinely don’t know what I’d do. Sure, sounds easier to fit into society, and I’d like to stop stressing about what my life will look like without that expected piece, but if I’m all distracted by crushes and wet dreams, how am I ever going to take over the world?! Also the ace and aro communities are some of the kindest and most accepting and more comforting I’ve ever seen, so I wouldn’t wanna give that up. I love myself exactly the way I am.
Love yourself the way you are. I know it can be hard sometimes, but we have to try. Eventually, you get used to loving yourself and it becomes second nature, or a habit at the very least.
I rambled a lot here and it ended up long and wacky, but I’m not sorry because ADHD is part of who I am and I love who I am so. Deal with it. But yea the point is no bots can get in the way of our powerful community and we’re going to eat cake and garlic bread and take over the world.
Don’t know why I wanted to draw this dumb, silly idea but here we are lol
Aroace culture is tryna figure out what my orientation is and thinking I’m probably polyamorous bc I don’t understand why someone wouldn’t be, and telling that to my mom and she goes “I just don’t understand. I could never.” And being like??? Why??
aro culture is being confused about the concept of cheating. oh she was dating someone else at the same time? simple decision; ask her second boyfriend on a date. +1 boyfriend. easy. my friends have stopped asking me for love advice
it's about honesty, trust, and boundaries. largely, most folks assume that when you agree to date, you are agreeing to a social contract in which you date one individual only at a time. It's a boundary.
And then if they don't tell you about another person, how are you supposed to trust them in an intimate relationship where the future expectation often involves marriage (legally, this often means joint finances, joint housing, joint bills, etc etc etc) and possibly children. Those are huge commitments to make with someone who isn't honest about their boundaries with you on a level where it's pretty obvious you're expected, in most major cultures, to disclose if you're looking into the idea even of polyamory.
Broadly, though, all relationship advice boils down to the same things: communicate or break up. If you cannot communicate, you cannot sustain a healthy relationship. If you cannot communicate, you cannot set healthy boundaries, you cannot make important decisions, and frankly, both you and the other individual(s) suffer for it. This usually means: "I feel xyz when you abc", both for positive and negative experiences. If you want more of it, say that - if you want less, say that. If this didn't change the behavior, you might need to move to setting up boundaries. These need to be actionable on your end and you must follow through, or you are not creating a boundary. A boundary is not "Stop doing this." A boundary is "If you continue to do this, I will respond like this." Ie, "If you spend a large amount of our money without first discussing with me, I will move to a separate financial account and you will not have access to it. I cannot be held responsible for your actions." And in turn - if you're asked to change your behaviors, you can get a lot further by communicating what you're doing.
Just some thoughts, basically.
This picture of a UPS worker delivering a package on 9/11 right after the second tower was hit is so fascinating to me. I totally would have used two buildings being blown up and the city infrastructure pausing as an excuse to not do my job. Just go back to the depot and call it a day. But no he’s bravely delivering that Backstreet Boys poster or whatever while everyone else stares at the buildings behind him in shock. Went “Well, that sucks. Can’t do anything about it I guess.”
jokes that will literally never not be funny to me:
saying “speedrun strats” every time you fuck up
saying “first try” when you’ve tried the thing like 15 times, minimum
"you sure do make a lot of jokes about sex for an ace person-" that's because sex is a joke to me
Hey genuinely, negative self talk is bad for your self esteem, and you get the same functional social effect & better mental health & more comedy from this^.
I do this garbage all the time! I am a world class genius. I should start a podcast. I think [incredibly fascinating plan] is a great idea (AKA: Do It Scared ™). I’m going to kms cause a scene / end up on the news / fight god. I’ve done [task] perfectly I see no problem with this.
But also, I cut myself slack with little stuff, even just in my internal monologue— though sometimes I’ll say it out loud to make it stick. No, I didn’t stay in bed past 3pm because I’m “a failure” or “lazy”— laziness was invented by capitalism anyways— I stayed in bed a little longer because that just happens sometimes, or because I needed that today, or whatever. It really do be like that sometimes, and who am I to judge me for it, especially if I’m out of bed now so it doesn’t even matter? I deserve that extra time, and I’m allowed to take up space. Because I said so. Because fuck capitalism. Because nobody can stop me.
you know what's better for you than being self deprecating? being self centered but hyperbolically. i am the most brilliant person alive. i am a genius. i could outwit einstein.
I’d never heard of bluesky. Should we all start downloading Brazilian-Endorsed Twitter Alternative for when Elon eventually truly runs “X” into the ground? Is this where Twitter users are going? Because I’m so down for that.
I can't get over how idiotic musk's plan was for this whole Brazil situation. Like it literally went like this.
Brazil: Your rampant unfiltered hate speech and misinformation on your platform is in violation of the law, you need to do something about it.
musk: I'll just close all our offices in Brazil, now that there's no staff in the country you can't charge us.
Brazil: You need to have a representative operating in the country otherwise you can't do business here. Consult with us in 24 hours or your site will be blocked.
musk: ha look here's an ai generated image of toilet paper with the name of your supreme court judge on it (he actually did this)
Twitter is blocked in Brazil after musk failed to consult with them and appoint a representative.
(Note: my hyperfixation may return to being Gravity Falls in a couple days when my Book Of Bill finally arrives)
No pressure ofc, but I’ll tag a few mutuals (and anyone else who sees this and wants to should do it too! Maybe we’ll BECOME mutuals!)
