Dustin and Steve after Eddie's death, fighting about stuff. ("I GET IT, man, I miss him too!" Steve is shouting, but Dustin shouts angrily back- "YOU DIDN'T KNOW HIM." And it makes Steve pause, and reconsider everything he's done in the months following the Spring Break From Hell. The way he's noticed Dustin's self assured tone when it comes to things he's nerdy about, haunted by Eddie's words: "It's his tone, right?" Or the new tapes that ended up in his car before he noticed, the titles of Metallica and Dio catching him off guard when he opens the glove box looking for ABBA. The way there will be a break in the conversation where a well-placed and witty joke belongs, but Eddie isn't around to make it so Steve does instead. And he's standing across from Dustin, words suddenly knocked away because somehow he's right. Steve doesn't- didn't know Eddie: "I never got the CHANCE, DUSTIN! But he was clearly AMAZING for the short time I got to know him and now he's GONE and YOU'RE hurting and just- fuck, man." Dustin is shaking his head, looking at Steve like he's offended. "You don't get to say that- you never- he was always THERE for us but you NEVER took the opportunity to talk! Or- or- you didn't give him a CHANCE to know you! We were always with him and- you- I don't know! But you can't just say that! About him!" It boils in Steve's chest with a hurtful honesty. Because it's true, he never made any attempt to befriend Eddie before Chrissy- he was jealous. The kids suddenly had a new, cooler babysitter who was on their level about nerd shit- it was so, so endearing, the few times he saw them. Coparenting these stupid brats unwillingly with Eddie despite hardly speaking had made him feel so warm but now Steve is being plunged into an ice bath of realization of how much he misses it. How much he doesn't deserve to miss it. He stalks away with tears brimming his eyes because there is nothing else he can say to Dustin.)

Re watched Gravity Falls and all I can think of is how terrifying it must have been for Mabel.

Because yuo are twelve, and you love your twin brother because he is your other half. He gives up so much for you and you go with him to solve mysteries because it makes him happy. Sure you have spats but he is your brother and you love him.

Now you have a crush, and you're going all out because you *think* you love this guy. You dont, its summer and you're twelve but that doesn't matter. Because you're twelve and a summer romance with a cute guy is everyone's dream. And sure you would *like* to help your brother with this mystery laptop that connects to the mystery of the summer, but that will always be there!! This guy you like probably wont be. So you decide to make yourself happy.

Your brother, your other half, has been acting weird. But you brush it off as sleep deprivation. The show must go on. And then you're in your dressing room, and the puppet you made in your brother's likeness is saying he made a mistake and he needs help. And sure you're a petty twelve year old girl but your brother comes first, so you go to find the journal. And you do! You find it! But he finds you, the monster in your brother's body... with his voice and face. But his eyes are wrong and his smile is too wide and (HOW DID YOU NOT NOTICE). and he threatens to kill you, pretends to drop you in this pretty little prop you made for a crush (it seems so stupid now doesnt it?) and in the end you get your brother back.

But you still have nightmares. You were too late. You didn't belive your brother in the puppet. He dropped you. And eventually they die down, because all things do, but it doesn't go away. And then you find the letter, promising you death. Promising your brother death. Promising you never get justice. And the nightmares come back. Your brother's dead body. Your dead body. The watertower. The note. You dont tell anyone, but you silently promise yourself to be more helpful and be there.

Accept your new grunkle even if he hurt your current one, believe your current one! go and get the unicorn hair to protect everyone. And then you hear your brother saying he doesnt want to go back with you, he wants to stay here and be a nerd and mak you face high school alone! And suddenly you wish you could go back to stupid adventures and summer romoances.

so you grab your bag and run. and then the man appears, eyes hidden and smiling wide, someone you know (you trust him? not much but you are twelve and are about to loose your other half) and he offers you what you want. Your brother, more summer, no end of the world of demons. Just adventure and your grunkles, and your brother. So you give him what he wants and shake his hand.

And then you see it. The wrong eyes. The too wide smile. You didnt notice. Your family is in danger of this demon again. Its your fault again. (Not really. because you were tricked like your brother and your grunkle. But you are twelve and loosing your other half and loosing the world. And you shook his hand)

I had a headache yesterday and decided that Grace deserved it

[catzalvarez-backup]

So y'all know how in the beginning of tsc Wymack offers Jean scotch, and he says Ravens don't drink (well, specifically, aren't allowed to drink)? And Kevin famously overdoes it with the drinking? And Wymack's mother, at least, had an issue with substance abuse? So do we think Wymack was the first one to offer Kevin alcohol, and how do we think he felt about Kevin's obvious issues with alcohol when he found out that Kevin is his son, knowing that addiction can be hereditary 🤥🤥🤥
