NOT A SPOILER FREE BLOG.
If being a "pro-shipper" means I see through your supposed progressive hypocritical bullshit, then I proudly consider myself one and tell you to rethink your politics/ideologies. You're no different from a conservative. If you don't like it then get the fuck out, and I won't bite you...much.

I've finally updated my Tumblr description after an ex-number of years of neglecting it (last time I did so was back in college jeezy). I recommend that people read it along with the BYF so they know what to expect when it comes to my blog & any current/previous content.
Since this is the latest "fandom craze" one that I think is utterly fucking ridiculous and absolutely unnecessary for multiple reasons, I will be making a DNI of people who I don't want touching my blog in any capacity: particularly antis as I mentioned in my description but also any GF fans who support these particular individuals/fandom AUS-- those who do not acknowledge that Ford is a victim of abuse and in recovery, are friends with Sp00ny and like/draw their "human" depiction of Bill Cipher, and the "B1ll P1n3s AU."
Why should they not interact? Reasons. Am I going to explain said reasons? nope, cause I don't fucking have to; as long as you adhere to this pinned, we ain't gonna have fucking issues. Capeesh?

There are currently THREE FEDERAL BOOK BAN BILLS aiming to ban all TRANS BOOKS from U.S. public schools! HR 2616, HR 8705, HR 7661
June 2026 / Maia Kobabe (a trans author, for three years in a row the most challenged author in the U.S.)

HR 2616 threatens to cut federal funding from public schools if they “teach or advance concepts related to gender ideology,” as defined by an Executive Order signed by Trump in Jan 2025. It would also cut funding from schools unless they require “parental consent before changing a minor's gender markers, pronouns, or preferred name on any school form.” HR 2616 HAS ALREADY PASSED IN THE HOUSE! Please call your Senators to say NO ON HR 2616!
Page 3:
HR 8705 threatens to cut federal funding from public schools which teach “discriminatory equity ideology or gender ideology,” as defined by two Executive Orders aimed at suppressing “critical race theory” and trans representation. This bill is named after the late far-right activist Charlie Kirk, “The Charlie Act.” HR 8705 has passed out of committee, but has not yet been introduced in the House. Please call your House Reps to say NO ON HR 8705!
Page 4:
HR 7661 threatens to cut federal funding from public schools which offer material deemed “sexually oriented," treating any LGBTQIA+ identity as sexual content. It specifically forbids “gender dysphoria or transgenderism,” and “lascivious dancing” (drag). This bill, titled “Stop the Sexualization of Children Act,” has 22 co-sponsors and has passed out of committee but has not yet been introduced to the House. Please call your House Reps to say NO ON HR 7661!

“My name is [name] and I’m calling from [city, state, zip code]. I’m asking [Senator] to vote no on HR 2616. I oppose HR 2616 because it would restrict student’s access to books and it would specifically harm trans, nonbinary, and intersex students. Please stand against book bans and protect queer students!”
“My name is [name] and I’m calling from [city, state, zip code]. I’m asking [Rep] to vote no on HR 8705 and HR 7661. I oppose these bills because they would restrict student’s access to books and accurate history, and would especially harm BIPOC, trans, nonbinary, and intersex students. Please stand against book bans and support public education funding!”

Author Maia Kobabe: If HR 2616, HR 8705, or HR 7661 pass, it would be almost impossible for any public school in the U.S. to offer or teach my books, unless they’re willing to risk their federal funding. Students would be even less likely to learn about trans stories or accurate U.S. history.

I am begging you. Please learn about stress/discomfort tolerance. Practice raising it. You need this to survive. If someone online can ruin your day with a throwaway comment, you desperately need to understand discomfort tolerance and consciously, systematically build that shit.
Also! Stress tolerance is such an important skill that having a learning disability in that area is a major symptom of a whole lot of other disabilities/mental illnesses! Struggling with it is a huge part of life! It sucks!
Am I saying everyone with misophonia needs to listen to chewing noises all day? No. But you need to find ways to tolerate it enough that you don't treat others like shit if they make a mouth noise near you.
No, you don't have to read the fic with your trigger tags. But you do need to be able to handle scrolling past the tags without being upset.
It is hard! But not having it also makes you so so so easy to manipulate. That grandma is racist AF because her mom raised her to be uncomfortable around black people and she never fought that discomfort. Trans people make so many cis people uncomfortable and that discomfort turns into bigotry real fast.
Letting your discomfort dictate your actions and beliefs about things is a great way to become a terrible person. Learn. Discomfort. Tolerance.
REALLY FUN FACT for big cats cheetahs are fucking docile as shit
my grandfather ran a cheetah sanctuary in south africa and he’d just lie with them and sleep among them and they’d rub against him and chirp at him they’re big fucking babies
Another Fun Fact: Cheetahs are incredibly nervous animals. One of the (many) reason’s they’re going extinct is that cheetahs are so sensitive and nervous, some of them are literally too nervous to breed. Others will breed, but stress themselves out so much, they’ll lose their cubs.
So zoos with breeding programs had to figure out how to make cheetahs comfortable enough to first of all, get laid and secondly - not spazz themselves into miscarrying.
So what’d they do?
They gave the cheetah’s their very own Service Dogs!
The dogs make them feel safe, protected and secure!
Also! Cheetahs are not in fact classified as big cats, they are simply very large lesser cats, due to the fact that they purr, meow, chirp, and cannot roar. Also many cheetahs have learned to recognize wildlife photographers are friends and not foes, so they will just come up to people and be friendly occasionally as pictured at the top of the chain. Some will even leave their Cubs with photographers to look after while they hunt. So. Yeah. Cheetahs are great
this works because cheetahs are actually fairly social animals, and they look to members of their group for context on how worried they should be about any given Situation. but since cheetahs are also nervous social animals, they can work each other into an anxiety spiral pretty easily over things like “being in an enclosed habitat” and “there’s a guy over there”.
so by introducing a dog as a member of the group, the cheetahs will now look to the dog for context clues on how worried they should be! and the dog Is Not Worried At All, Thanks, so the cheetahs think everything must be chill even if they were personally unsure about it, and they stop being so freaked out about literally everything.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Stan and Ford!
And it's the 14th anniversary of the Gravity Falls premiere!
Just a nice, peaceful day fishing this year. :). A bit of a "lineless" experiment from me (although, I haven't really done one yet that's truly line-less; I'm sure there's a trick to that, and I need to really change the way I think about indicating details.)
Still haven't gotten into the mobile games? It's now easier than ever, go watch the fandub!
the story of these games is so interesting (and important to the rest of the series, especially its future), it's a shame that it's been so difficult to get into due to the format. but the fandub really changes that, and i hope it allows many more people to enjoy these games :)
parts 1 and 2 cover the events of khx+khux (with all of back cover intercut), with dark road coming at some point in the future
[ID. Above, a color illustration of Stan and Ford pines on a small sailboat. They're sailing on a bay, with an island in the distance, and the Glass Shard Beach lighthouse is visible. There are a lot of other small sailboats with colorful sails out on the bay as well. End ID.]
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Stan and Ford!
And of course, happy 13th anniversary of the Gravity Falls premiere!
When I was a kid, you'd see these colorful Sunfish sailboats out on the bay all the time; I was always entranced by the pretty sail patterns. I never did get sailing lessons, though. I don't know why; maybe because I never told my parents I was interested? I wish I had, though. I think it would be fun to learn. Maybe I should look into small sailboat lessons in my area.
Obviously, a little Sunfish isn't the kind of sailboat you can take on adventures around the world! But as good Jersey boys, I bet Stan and Ford would enjoy an afternoon out on the water.
(I looked at so many refs of Sunfish sailboats and people sailing them. You wouldn't think they'd be big enough for two adults, but apparently so!)
It’s a very important day for some very important boys: HAPPY BIRTHDAY STAN AND FORD 😭😭🥺🥺🥹🥹 The old men that have made a permanent home in my brain and my heart ♥️ And a happy 14th anniversary to the show of all time 🥹
