( @stressed2obsessed is the creator of o brother :D)

[cuuno-moved]

does anyone have that one painting with the ghosts standing in the water?

[cuuno-moved]

like theyre in the water and they're staring off to the side and there's something so very wrong about it and they're bending over and trailing along like deer in the headlights but you can't see what they're staring at which might make it even scarier

[cuuno-moved]

[2cupsoforangejuce]

I thought the last one was very familiar to me and turns out it’s painted over a photo of john lennon !

and after looking at the first one again it is also, a beatle photo

[estacium]

Not going to lie the first picture like the ghost on the water It kinda is referenced on the one picture where the Beatles are in Miami for the Help! shooting I dont have the picture but it really looks like! Especially the bending ghost resembles Ringo and The other Picture where the ghost is sitting down I also remember so much remember that that picture is Brian Epstein sitting I also don’t have the picture cause I cant fine IT aaaaa HAHAH

a JOURNEY

[cherrysoos-scribbles]

tf when you're far from home, and your brother's gone, but actually he's right beside you, but he's not your brother, but he is, and you realize those plans you made--that dream you shared--to sail away together don't come true, and now your brother's been living on the streets alone, and you're not there--haven't been there, and you wonder how could this have happened? why did it turn out this way? will it always be this way?

[finnglas]

Hey so

the last time I reblogged this post right before I got a great job, in a permanent work-from-home position, with benefits, retirement, and a salary literally 3x what I was making before, doing something I really like. 

So you know. 

This might be the real one, y’all.

[yujateaandpi]

I’m not superstitious but why not.

[flipflopmasterr]

there is SOMETHING about getting the chance to look into the future - and all you see is your most favourite person ever, all hopeless, living somewhere in a run down motel, dirty and alone. Without you around.......

What could have even happened?

Why did this even happen??????

[stressed2obsessed]

I'm speechless... it's fantastic...

Thank you💙

Your honor! Please direct your attention towards the manga.

As you can see there are small pieces of paper sticking out of every volume.

But no such paper is sticking out of the Batman comic.

The reason? The Batman book doesn’t belong to the library. The photographer put it there to take a picture.

[minipupball]

Once again making hasty assumptions, Wright?

First of all, I’d like to direct the court’s attention to this particular spot, in the top right-hand corner.

Notice how the words are blocking the top of the Batman book.

With this in mind, how can you claim that there is “no such paper sticking out of the Batman comic”?!

[invenblocker]

Say whaaaat?

Well uhm

Look at the size of the paper pieces, they’re all sticking pretty far out.

If there was paper in the batman comic, it would be big enough to stick up over the text.

And while gravity does exist, it probably won’t make the paper do a 90 degree turn and just lean horisontally left at the middle.

[minipupball]

Still grasping for straws, Wright?

Hypothetically, if there were a paper there, this picture would not be able to prove its presence. I’ve taken the liberty of drawing a diagram to illustrate my point. We are faced with three possibilities. It is possible that (1) the paper was simply tucked in deeper than the others.

Paper is a soft material, Wright. It’s not unreasonable for it to do a (2) 90 degree turn. 

Or perhaps, (3) a paper does not exist there at all. 

Either way, you cannot prove your client innocent without sufficient evidence.  

Which, of course, is impossible thanks to the obtrusive words.

[invenblocker]

I’m sorry Edgeworth.

I concede that I can’t disprove theory 1

But the image you submited for theory 2 is contradictory.

Look at the tilt of the other papers. They clearly prove how much the paper would tilt.

And theory 3 is my point! Why would the library’s book not have this piece of paper when the other library books do?

While you still have thory 1, there is another contradiction.

The books are not in alphabetical order, this proves that the batman comic was placed there specifically for the picture!

[minipupball]

Ack.

(Perhaps I should’ve left the artistry to the forensic artist…)

Now hold it right there! It doesn’t matter which direction the paper is going because it’s impossible to prove it even exists!

Those theories are all the same! We do not have enough information to prove them. There could be an infinite amount of papers in there for all we know. I simply presented them only so that the court could better understand your baseless conjecture!

… I suppose the order of the books do seem out of the ordinary. However, therein lies not just one possibility. Clearly, those are Japanese graphic novels, also known as “manga”. And the Batman comic book is a graphic novel, too, no?

Seeing as it currently has only graphic novels in the shelf, it is possible that any other novels have simply not yet been restocked. Asserting whether or not this effect was deliberate is useless– there is no way of knowing if the photographer and the captioner are the same person, let alone their involvement in this picture.

Face it Wright, you can’t prove any of these groundless accusations!

It's a fanart for @stressed2obsessed's very cool fanfic O Brother! This scene was very wholesome :D

That's how porcupinecones look in my head but I'm not sure if that's exactly how they are described in the fic. And also, I don't remember if they were wearing anything specific in this scene but it's winter so they have jackets.

[stressed2obsessed]

*holds gently*

[inthetags]

Reblog, and put in the tags your food of preference when you are nauseous or can't keep food down (but you still need to eat something.)

[stressed2obsessed]

If anyone needs me, I'll be in my chambers studying the sacred texts.

[gfhunklescalendar]

Hope everyone is ready for some HUNKLES! We're planning a TWO YEAR CALENDAR this time, for 2025 and 2026. Not two separate calendars, but two calendars, together! Like twins! 2025's theme will be a Mullet!Stan calendar, with probably some Researcher!Ford thrown in. 2026's theme will be two old men around the house or ship, just doing stuff. Like baking cookies or watching TV. Something more domestic and homey, as opposed to the adventures and monsters of calendars past. More details to come, but for now, it's time to GET HYPED!!!

(which means REBLOG PLEASE!) art by @gruvu

[sanguinewolves]

yk what i hate though. is when i find a meme and im like THIS IS SO [cool intimidating mutual i never talk to] I SHOULD SEND IT TO THEM but then i remember ive never talked to them ever and so i cant just like give them a meme out of the blue and so the meme just withers and rots in my camera roll 😔

[autistic-af]

Reblog if a mutual who's never spoken to you can randomly send you memes that made them think of you.

[stressed2obsessed]

Calling ALL Gravity Falls Fans!!!!

I found this pic while looking up funny shirts

And INSTANTLY thought of Stan and I desperately need to see art of him wearing it

(I'd do it myself but my drawing skills are garbage😔)

[gin-juice-tonic]

When I was making that math video I realized that to have Ford count on his fingers in a way that reflected our normal base 10 way of counting, Ford would have to basically ignore 2 of his fingers constantly

Which made me wonder what his time in the early grades of school mustve been like... The outlook was not good

[pizza-feverdream]

concept: grunk's new groove. 140 minutes of stan and ford having fun on the sea nothing bad happens they sing musical pieces together. rb if you agree

[zephrunsimperium]

Stanley Pines is basically holding onto the teenaged version of his brother.

That connection is strong enough that it only took two words to get him to drive all the way up to Oregon and then spend three decades trying to bring Ford back. That kind of dedication, that kind of inextinguishable hope, is astounding, and it is not the behavior of someone who blames Ford for closing the window on him, not at all.

So why, then, does Stan care so much? Because to him, Ford is just about the coolest person to exist. Not just because he's astoundingly smart and capable, but also because he was the only person who really cared about him.

There's a lot of talk about suspected physical abuse in the Pines household for the twins growing up, but I think there was a lot of neglect too. I think Ford and Stan really only had each other as kids. That is an intense connection.

For Ford, that connection terrifies him. Because Ford does not want to be that boy. That boy was scared and that boy got knocked around and had to hide behind his twin. That boy was weak and Stanford Pines is not weak, Stanford Pines is special and important and he's going to show the whole goddamn world.

But for Stan... that connection is the only thing that proves he was worth anything. So if his relationship with Ford isn't salvageable...

then is he worth anything at all?
