Why is your blog so amazing???

Aww, why thank you! I certainly do my best to provide good content, and I’ll be sure to keep on doing so! : )

Got around to finally see the new Ducktales.

It’s cute and hilarious and I love the animation and art direction, but with the exception of Scrooge, Webby’s Grandma, and Donald I find the voice acting really distracting and it’s hard to shake the feeling that Disney XD’s executives pointed at Gravity Falls and said “Now make it like this.”

Uhhhh, you gonna be okay in season 3 there, Moon?

Because with all these queens losing their mother’s around the same age as Star, and your end of the bargain with Eclipsa still being unfulfilled, I’m not liking your odds...

Having finally obtained a black light to re-read the special edition journal with, I have to admire the irony in that Journal 1 - the one Ford called Stan out to protect - appears to have been the least dangerous out of the three.

Which probably also would’ve made it especially frustrating for Stan because that would’ve also made Journal 1 the least useful for his needs.

I know I’m probably preaching to the choir at this point but...

The one thing I always admired about Stan’s character arc is that it’s been said numerous times - both by Stan in-show and even by Hirsch himself - that science and traditional book-learning are things that don’t actually come naturally to him. He’s certainly clever in many ways, but those particular subjects aren’t his strong suits, and don’t appear to have ever interested him.

But despite that, he still made the effort to buckle down and pour through hundreds of pages of text books and papers to learn everything he would need to help him understand the physics and engineering side of things when working on the portal. He probably had to get additional reading material because, unlike Ford, he hadn’t finished high school and there was likely a lot of subjects he had to teach himself just to bridge the massive jump he’d be making from high school calculus/trigonometry/etc. to quantum physics, so he could work his way up to the advanced materials. A lot of which were likely subjects he was the weakest at when he was being taught them the first time, and maybe even have to re-teach himself in some regards. With no outside help, if he ever got stuck his only option would be to power through and keep working at it until something eventually clicked and he figured the problem out. And, even then, there wouldn’t always be a direct connection to what was in those book and the massive portal in his basement - a device, by all accounts, only exists in theory.

All of which completely goes against what he’s most adept at doing. None of that came naturally to him, but he kept at it anyways because that was the only way he could get his brother back.

That’s dedication right there.

One interesting detail in Battle for Mewni I think is that Moon's backstory of taking Toffee's finger to stop the rogue branch of the monster armies seems to have cemented that the tapestries inside the wand are depictions of moments that have in some defined each queen's rule and/or wand-bearer status. It's made especially considering the other tapestries: -Eclipsa's was marrying a monster and by extension shunning Mewni (which we'll probably get more information on sometime this season) -Solaria's was that she appeared to have started the war between mewmans and monsters. -Celena's was that she discovered knowledge that she never disclosed to anyone And of course Star's defining moment has yet to be revealed.

Okay Gravity Falls fans, I have a question for you.

And I want you to think about this, I mean really think about it before you give an answer. Because I know your first instinct is gonna be to say “Theory, you ignorant slut! The answer should be obvious! Why even ask?” But hear me out.

Here it goes:

Which door did Stan knock on when he first came to the shack?

No, seriously, just look at this:

Starts at the front of the house, so far so good (note the thermometer by the door)

Still at the front of the house, thermometer still present

Suddenly shingles that definitely weren’t there before

The door frame has suddenly changed entirely between shots?

And now on a completely different porch???

Ford how on earth does your house work.
