Its crazy how people still complain so much about the "filler" episodes of steven and the beach city cast when a major theme of the show is Steven remembering hes not just a gem but also a human. That him spending time with humanity is his greatest strength. And often the human characters are the only ones to truly give stevens trauma the weight it deserves and remind him to take care of himself because they actually understand what it means to be a child and deal with all the shit he deals with. Anyways

Tbh i kind of hate posts that float around every Pride Month that are like "Actually Christians are wrong about their homophobia! Look at these scriptures they prove that God actually says this!!!" Because that's the fucking point. You can take the Bible and cherry pick an out of context or even in context verses to prove whatever point you want to make. That's why the use of the Bible is so dangerous.

Most Christians aren't just ignorant to the "meaning" of the bible... they deliberately use scripture to justify themselves and their hate towards minority groups.

If you really want to argue against a christian's bigotry, maybe you should try to have them prove why a mistranslated, easily misinterpreted 1000 year old book should be the basis behind any society's rules and beliefs, because that's where the true flaw in their reasoning is.

My favorite thing about fiddauthor is that they were deadass having a full illicit gay love affair in the 80s and thats not even in the top 3 of the most interesting or dangerous shit they had going in their lives

Why did so many people decide Stanford’s memory of the portal test in A Tale of Two Stans is "Real" and the one from The Last Mablecorn is "Fake" Like to me it seems kind of obvious theyre just both parts of the same event hes just emphasizing different moments because of the context of what he's explaining?

For context uhh i see posts like this from time to time (this is just the first one i found from tiktok search ive seen many variations of this across tiktok and twitter)

They assume the version where Ford holds Fiddleford he made up to make himself look good versus the other clip where fiddleford is on the ground and he asks him what he saw.

Like just from a showmaking standpoint why would they show the exact same clip twice in a limited time like in animation every second counts of course theyd cut out the part where hes holding a stunned fiddleford (that we already saw) and cut straight to him asking what he saw bc thats what we need to see IN THAT SCENE. it doesnt negate that the other part happened too? Its just cut differently? you guys just dont know how animation and filmmaking works.

It doesnt even make sense to say he made that up to look good its not like Dipper could SEE his memory?? that memory was only seen by us the audience... r u telling me u think Ford said to his family "and then I held my stunned assistant lovingly in my arms" and thats why we get that frame and pose?

People will that the thing where Stanford corrected Stans grammar and people run with it calling him a narcissist, a horrible person, selfish, petty, unfeeling and like, thats the popular accepted opinion right. But like.

Stanley told Ford he was essentially dead to him and to stay away from his niece and nephew the moment the kids went to bed after the portal stuff and literally no one EVER CHECKS HIM ON HOW FUCKED THAT IS.

He says this because Ford didnt say thank you or react at all to being "saved" how stan imagined he would after all those years. Of course Stan was upset. Of course he felt unappreciated. But to immidately take those emotions and tell Ford—who hes spent maybe a few hours with for the first time in 30 years—that the kids are "the only family he has left" him is like sooo harsh and cruel and uncalled for man. There was no productive conversation attempted there at all. No empathy extended. The Miscommunication Brothers.

Im sorry ur gonna look me in the eye and tell me reki and langa are platonic after they piggyback carried each other in the rain (sharing an umbrella btw) and then lovingly blush at each other and stare up into the sky which pans to a RAINBOW ???

And also i think many forget one of Fiddleford’s defining traits-his main defining trait actually-is his anxiety. And what that anxiety meant for his relationship with Stanford. Fiddleford paranoia manifests as anxiety and compulsions, while fords paranoia manifests into avoidant and antisocial behavior.

The reason i bring it up is bc i believe one of the main barriers to fiddlefords relationship with ford is his anxiety around the repercussions of not only being in a homosexual relationship but also such a genuinely scientifically insane duo? Like he knows Ford will always have this push and desire for more knowledge, pursuing greater ideas, and fiddleford knows he doesn't have the strengh to Not contribute however dangerous they could be, nor does he have faith in his own ability to be able to steer Ford in a different direction

And its so odd to me when ppl act like their main relationship trouble was just like. Ford not liking him enough? or ford liking bill more? when that truly just waters doen the complexity of their dynamic. They both obviously cared deeply for each other, it was moreso that Ford lost sight of the danger when he set out on his goals while fiddleford lost sight of the potential positive outcomes when sticking through the scary/dangerous situations.

A Better World proves that there IS a reality where they were able to see each others perspectives and successfully create a safe version of their portal project and i think too many forget that !! And they just throw away the entire concept of the portal era as "Ford''s foolish hubris" and not just a series of misforutunate circumstances/bills manipulation and abuse. The portal could have been viable, if Fiddleford had spoken up sooner, if Ford had been able to work though his paranoia to trust him fully

I genuinely cant hear the song Last Christmas without thinking about fiddauthor and tweaking out my mind is a prison
