i’m almost certain this has been said before but i find the last names in spy x family to be such cool details.

like forger, as in forged and fake. the authens, perhaps referencing the word authentic and real. it’s a very minor and obvious addition to the story but i love it nonetheless.

not to mention chapter 94 at the snow lodge! sure, maybe the naming was a bit lazy, but it was hilarious nonetheless:

[igneousiguana202]

THIS!!!

Not to mention Natalia (Nightfall) and and Twain (Twilight), whose last name is Foney (“phony”) 💀

and small tangent, but the last names in general tend to start with the letter the first name starts with.

Becky blackbell, ewen egeburg, emile elman, Damian and Donovan and Demetrius Desmond, Sylvia Sherwood, etc.

The main exceptions to this are

Melinda (who was remarried, so Desmond isn’t her maiden name anyways)

anya and loid (both of whom only use the last name “forger” as a cover)

andd yuri and Yor, though at least the two of them share “y-” first names

[maslpinky]

Something we as a fandom need to stop overlooking is Ben’s backstory!!

Genuinely so far out of all the kids Ben has the most heartbreaking story ever and it’s so overlooked and basically flat out ignored so you guys can just mischaracterise him as ur “little mute baby” (actual comment under a video about Ben) like he has so much more depth. Not only has he recently gone through being judged and feared for his size and talent, then a group tried to ‘fix’ him by making him into something he never wanted to be then after weeks of torment which he parents didn’t even question?!? They finally pushed him to his breaking point and took away the one thing he enjoyed doing, singing. And then he couldn’t even bear to speak after that and then he completely snapped and became the one thing he fought to not be and he got addicted to fighting and after a fight he started he comes home, probably completely tired and worn out he sees his house on fire. Not only were his parents neglecting his injuries and him In general now they send him away, he gets seperated from his little sister, he has to move to a whole new school, not able to talk and no friends except for your cousin and after all that you finally thought you were going to have some peace and now you get transported into a demonic deme soon every night, slowly turning into one of these creatures (which have violent tendencies) and now he’s turning back into the version of himself that he was trying to move on from. AND HE CANT EVEN TALK TO ANYONE ABOUT IT BECAUSE HE CANNOT TALK!!

Anyways we need to recognise this more because Ben is not ur little baby or just aidens cousin because he is literally the most interesting character with the saddest most tragic backstory!! Ty for listening to my rant 🥰

I don’t think the words exist to describe how much I connect with the band Good Kid on like, a spiritual level. They make indie rock music and I love rock. They literally just don’t copyright strike people who use their music because they *want* other creators using it which is behavior I’ve wanted to see from literally anyone for years. They make tons of songs about like anxiety and mental health stuff I can relate to. They unapologetically wear their interests and influences on their sleeves. They name their songs after animes they watch or just whatever the fuck they were drinking when they wrote it. They comment on random, fanmade lyric videos of their songs. They make anime edits of THEIR OWN MUSIC. They make shorts talking about what inspired certain songs, what the songs mean, and stuff like that. Every time I look at how they act I go “That’s what I wanna be if I ever get popular”. It’s really magical stuff.

Plus their music is just fuckin banging.

[spidercoris]

i just remembered that sbg takes place in 2016 so realistically they wouldn’t have our type of humor at all… they don’t even know what brainrot is 💔

i’m curious to see if anyone would consider this in the future when writing fanfics or headcanons cause i think it would be really funny if they started referencing shit from 9 years ago

does anyone even remember the humor from that long ago…

[igneousiguana202]

I know some people who don’t know the reason behind Axolotl’s name in Gravity Falls so im putting my thoughts on the internet to clear this up

As you may know, Bill Cipher is largely based off the Aztec god, Xolotl, who is the god of things like deformities, weirdness, and twins— all of which are prevalent themes in GF.

However the main thing Xolotl was known for was being the god of death. He supposedly led souls through the layers of the afterlife. We can perhaps see this a bit with Bill Cipher, leading the Henchmaniacs from their dimension to Gravity Falls, and viewing the Mindscape as a different layer of existence and reality.

quick tangent, when you add the prefix “a-” to a word it means “lack of”, and in many cases it reverses the meaning of a word. For example, “symmetrical” and “asymmetrical”.

So here we have Xolotl, who can lead souls through the layers of the afterlife, and we have AXOLOTL, who can supposedly take Bill Cipher OUT of it*

(*yk cuz Bill Cipher’s final plea for help asking to one day return through Axolotl)

So yeah, cool connection. At the very least it’s a shoutout from Alex Hirsch about the guy Bill was based off.

MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE THEORY

I THINK I KNOW WHO THE OPERA WOMAN IS!!!!!!!!

so if you haven't listened to mama, or if you haven't seen the trailer titled "opera" then i suggest going and doing that first, because these will be the center of my theory, however i am going to paste images of what im talking about here, so you can get away without it.

the facts

now mama by my chem is about a soldier with a strained relationship with his mother and trying to apologize before he dies, we can glean this from these particular lines

and of course the mother feels the same way

and this line is specifically delivered with a classical singing style, you know what's a classical singing style

opera.

and this woman

looked like she was going to sing opera to the men in front of her, and her mouth made the movement, but instead we hear a distorted semi terrifying scream instead.

we also know that this city got destroyed in a war, but the question is a war with who?

now i specifically want to draw attention to the phrase "starved to death in a land of plenty"

in the words of MoonBoots4600 on reddit "Its actually a direct copy of a banner carried in the 1931 Unemployed March when families were dying despite being in the "land of the free""

(original banner)

the new tour trailer have imagery reminiscent of fascism, if this fascist government was limiting people rights, and causing the death and starvation of civilians, there would be an uprising? would there not. so i prepouse this.

the theory

i believe that the mother of the narrator in mama is actually the opera woman. the opera woman works for the government, and the son is apart of the rebellion. when the son dies this affect the rebellion strongly, and the mother must report this to the men seen in the video. the screaming is a metaphor for her grief as she tell the government what has happened, despite her neutral expression, she is angered for her son has died.

(i normally don't ask for reblogs but on this i am begging, i need people to see this and give me some second opinions. please reblog)

“I CONSIDERED MYSELF TO BE MORE OF A GIRL”

A CONVERSATION WITH GERARD WAY from theboyzine.com 1/18/2015

"Gerard way is the renaissance-type singer songwriter // Goth prince frontman // comic book artist // proud father best known for both his solo music and his band My Chemical Romance. We got a chance to ask him a few questions in early January. Enjoy!

What is your favorite animal?

I would have to say an ape; for a long time I didn’t take the time to know the difference between primates, but my wife and I have been really into animals—apes are just very gentle creatures.

As an emotional professional, how do you feel when people tell you to man up?

You know, growing up as a boy you are always told not to show your emotions, that it is a sign of weakness. I have been lucky enough to lead a life where I can celebrate how I really feel—but there is still negative attention towards it and it is still considered weakness.

Is there a point, then, where one does need to (for lack of a better word) man up?

You know I really don’t like that phrase. “man up”, because it implies that emotional strength in rough times is a masculine trait, when in reality some of the strongest people I know are women. But yes, there are a lot of times when you should control your emotions–  times of crisis and need where you really can’t let them get involved. I have learned to pull my emotions out of a lot of big decisions.

You often make it a point to spread the message of gender equality in your shows. Could you describe that a little bit?

It is something I have been lucky enough to be educated about. I generally try to pay attention to it, make sure I get my facts from the best sources and whatnot, and I really relate to it. I never really subscribed to the archetype masculinity growing up, I had no interest in sports or anything like that. There was a time where I was called a girl so often that when I discovered the idea of transgenderism I considered myself to be more of a girl. So I identify with trans people and women a lot because I was a girl to a lot of people growing up. When I was doing MCR I think I finally got to display my femininity through the glam theatrical aspects of the band. It made me feel more hopeful, that I was allowed to be flamboyant. I want to make sure women and men and everyone in between feel safe and empowered.

Was there a person or thing that first sparked your interest in feminism?

When I was around 16 I became friends with these really cool girls, and that’s how I got exposed to Bikini Kill, Helium, Bratmobile—that was the real punk. All the other hardcore scenes at the time were a little bit hypermasculine and violent, which was totally unappealing to me. But here are these bands—Bikini Kill, et cetera that were actually talking about important things. That was real punk. Great bands.

What sort of advice can you offer to all of us boyz reading?

You have to surround yourself with ‘the others’. Whether they’re the creatives that you know or whatever it is. Because you guys will feed each other, that’s the nature of people. Find companions who will push you in the field you are in.

Do you hang onto traces of boyishness? Comics and digging up worms?

Well first off I don’t consider those things boyish. I am really happy that things like comics have become less marketed specifically toward boys—did you know that 50 percent of comic book readers are girls now? There is a really great picture I saw one time of a little girl with all the spiderman toys in a toy store clearly angry that they were in the ‘boys’ section. We need to let kids have more freedom of choice in who they want to be.

But answering your question, I have always been super into comic books. I didn’t really ever like sports, so I played dungeons and dragons a lot. That was a really important creative outlet for me. Of course I still love Star wars, and biking.

How do you find ways to stay positive?

Society is so interconnected these days, there is so much noise. It is really important I think to turn the noise down, to find ways to do so. Whether you’re in a creative field or not, you need to find a way to follow what is in your gut because that noise that is so obstructive is   creeping. Think about the art you make, the people you love.

My routine is really simple but important to me. I wake up every morning and my wife and I get our daughter ready for school and I drive her there. And that’s when work begins for me. I am lucky that one day I can be recording a new song and the next I am putting all of my energy into a comic.

Do you consider your marriage to be a partnership?

I am very glad you asked. I consider my whole family dynamic a three way partnership actually. My wife and I have been partners since day one, and now our daughter is the newest addition to the mix. Of course we have different duties to each other—my wife and my job is to educate my daughter  and make her feel great and teach her how to work hard, to let her choose what she loves. That’s very important to us. It is great coming home from the road because Lindsay (my wife) and I get to work together more.

Thank you so much for doing this interview, is there anything we haven’t touched that you want to say?

Don’t chase your dreams, let your dreams chase you

LMAOOOO

[yardsards]

lapis and peridot get into a qpr but they don't know the term "queerplatonic relationship" so they make up their own dumbass name for it a la "meep morp"

[yardsards]

steven or someone idk: "sooo, peridot, are you and lapis *together*?"

peridot: "yeah, we still live together, even though we don't have the barn anymore"

"no, i mean, is she your girlfriend?"

"of course not, she's my zorble."

"zorble?"

"it's something we invented. it means we're kind of like percy and pierre, but not in the way that ruby and sapphire are. we're a team and could destroy anyone at a canoe race, but we don't do any of that romance stuff and we don't fuse."

SXF CHAPTER 108 SPOILERS!

.

WE ARE SO BACK!!

Two months without an episode but it’s ok because endo cooked 🙏

Ive been trying to find out what the cards mean in these positions but everything is contradicting everything I’m gonna cry 😭Here’s what I’m going with-

Past: Ace of cups. You were going through a period of new beginnings and emotional fulfillment. In terms of relationships, there was a time of blossoming romance and deep connections formed

((probably a reference to the last time anya and Damian were together, in chapter 96))

Present: Four of Cups reversed. You are beginning to appreciate the opportunities around you. In terms of relationships, this card represents a renewal of interest and commitment in which both partners work towards happiness and fulfillment.

((Not sure abt this one. Sy-on boy’s as thunders as ever))

Near future: Three of swords, reversed. Represents the easing of pain and the beginning of the healing process— a period of rejuvenation approaches. In terms of relationships, it represents potential for reconciliation and healing of wounds, a period of understanding and forgiveness and bonding

((please endo please give my babies a break 🙏))

Advice: Three of wands: you are advised to expand your horizons and be open to new possibilities. Atm you may be stuck or limited

((Could be referring to how she can’t advance with plan A while on a break from school, or that she should take a different approach to plan B/the B plan))

other’s heart: death reversed. ( the closest thing I could find for this was “how someone sees you”). This person sees you as something that pushes them from their comfort zone. They feel stuck and resist steps towards positive change. They’re frozen by fear instead of motivated by love, and they see you as a sign of negative emotion patterns. it’s up to you whether that changes.

((This does kinda sum up Damian. Tsundere raised to believe he is above the rest, suppressing his feElings for anya bc he thinks he’ll be looked down on and that he’s too far above her in terms of status))

Asker’s mind: 10 of pentacles reversed. This card means you’ve lost sight of the big picture and are too hyper-focused on something. May signify you’ve recently gone thru a challenging time and feel a lack of security

((Yeah this fits. Anya is starting to get quite centered around succeeding at plan B so loid won’t send her back to the orphanage, it’s almost like she subconsciously doesn’t trust him when it comes to taking care of her. Which I guess is fair— after all he is still quite a mission-driven spy, and anya probably gained some trust issues from the lab))

Final: The Star. (Melinda said this card is reversed but cards are actually supposed to be read in the POV of the person who the reading is about so I think that’s just her blundering it.) this card indicates a time of healing and inspiration

((But like Mel brought up, maaybe it’s saying Anya’s gonna get another Stella? :D))

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LOGAN FIELDS :3333

[igneousiguana202]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY YOU PRECIOUS CHILDE

[bread--quest]

we all need to start appreciating peridot stevenuniverse more for what she did for us. it would be easier to say what she DIDN'T do honestly. she's autistic. she's silly. she's sad and little. she's an overworked i. t. guy. she's a saturday morning cartoon villain. she's aroace. she's gay. she yelled at her boss and immediately had a mental breakdown. she's both a victim of and perpetuates the oppressive society she was raised in. she has to unlearn her conceptions of other people's worth and her own worth so she stops hurting other people and hurting herself. she achieves this in part through robot fights. she's hyperfixated on a canadian soap opera. she draws shipping charts. she's nonbinary. she can never go home again. she doesn't want to go home again. she went from believing literally anything was a weapon that could be used to harm her to farming and making art and music with her best friend in a barn. she's like 3 feet tall. she has a twitter account where she talks in all caps constantly. she's green and her hair is a triangle literally what can't she do.

[yardsards]

she tried to flush herself down the toilet. more than once. she got put on a baby leash after committing too many microaggessions. she was never officially dating her roommate but they DID have a divorce arc. she lost the house but kept the kid and spent days crying in a bathroom. she flies around on a garbage can lid and let herself get chucked at a giant dictator's face. she learned self worth partially via cheating at carnival games. she had a whole wile e coyote/roadrunner homage episode. she was one of the very few people to tell the protagonist that he had value outside of how helpful he could be, before his public mental breakdown. she has stupid pointy sunglasses.

[igneousiguana202]

Age in the phantom dimension?😭

So the sbg gang is currently running on a 31-hour clock right now. They spend seven hours in the phantom dimension every night, but time doesn’t move in the human dimension when this happens, so they spend another 24 hours there.

THIS SHIT ADDS UP 😭

We know that the phantom dimension does not influence the human dimension, but rather vice versa, so the kids likely are not growing at a faster rate in the human dimension than they would if they WERENT pulled into the rift.

BUT does this mean the seven hours they spend in the phantom dimension have NO impact on their age in either dimension?

The sbg gang ages in the phantom dimension, causing an irregularity with the human dimension. What if this disruption counts as “messing with the ‘item’ in the phantom dimension”, hence SEVERING the connection between their Phantom Dimension age and their Human Dimension age?

This would mean that while the version of the kids in the human dimension would be aging 24 hours a day, the phantom dimension version would only be aging 7 hours a day. That’s less than 1/3rd of the pace! Imagine anyone ends up spending, say, 15 years of their life stuck in the rift— the phantom dimension version of themselves would be over 10 years younger.
