Me: Its 2017, No One Wants To Hear Gravity Falls Meta

 Me: It’s 2017, no one wants to hear Gravity Falls meta

Also me: Stan never believed Gideon was an actual psychic—even though he knew supernatural things were possible, and even though everyone in Gravity Falls was against him, Stan always insisted he absolutely knew Gideon was a fraud.  Why was he so certain?

Gideon always called him “Stanford.” 

Anyone with real mind-reading powers would’ve known that was actually his brother’s name, and he was living under a false identity

I made this as a reminder for all of y’all who wear a binder to take care of yourself and to give your body a break every once in a while. Did I also make this because I didn’t follow my own advice? We don’t need to talk about that

i didnt wanna be critical this morning but sometimes you just wake up like this

i think the thing that frustrates me about some (not all i know some people wanna see funny pig man blow shit up and i respect that) techno apologists is that they don’t see anything anyone else says with nuance and take everything techno says as the truth. they’ll go into techno’s choices and morals and how he truly cares but is hurt all the time, but they be like “tommy says ‘blade’ tommy bad.” like i saw tommy’s line about “the discs being worth more than you ever were” used as proof that tommy dehumanized everyone and like,, tommy so immediately regretted and didn’t mean that, as evidenced by the fact that the very next thing he did was tell tubbo to give dream the disc. he even said he was becoming someone he wasn’t and didn’t want to be. people jump through hoops to defend every action of technos but literally dont peer into any other characters any deeper.

no other character gets viewed with this certainty of being Absolutely Correct All the Time. when wilbur was lashing out believing that “nobody was on their side” and trying to blow up l’manburg, nobody viewed this as a good thing. when tommy was committing his minor acts of terrorism notably with connor and fundy, these were not good things. when jack manifold and niki are planning to kill tommy, this is not a good thing to do. all of these characters were hurt but, “that doesn’t doesn’t excuse their actions” and they “shouldn’t take the fucked up shit that happened to them on other people.” (these are quotes from when tommy was apologizing to the people he hurt)

techno commits major acts of terrorism, takes multiple canon lives, and declares that “the only universal language is violence” but someone everyone wants to act like he’s justified and the victim?

techno gets to say “you wanted power. you wanted to be the hero” to tommy who just gave up the presidency and shouted that “im not the hero. no ones the hero” and everyone just takes that? he gets to say “i would have fought the world for you” like twenty minutes after going “hell no i won’t fight dream for you”?? he gets to answer tubbo’s accusation of “doesn’t that make you a tyrant yourself?” with “the ends justify the means” like What the Fuck Dude??

techno is hurt and techno is Wrong about how he sees tommy and the other members of l’manburg (ex-members whatever) he is not right when he says that tommy “the horse brothers!” “if there was a hug button, i’d press it” “all i’ve ever wanted was to be called your friend” innit only saw him as “the blade.” he is not right in saying tubbo “i just want everyone to get along” underscore is a tyrant. he can be wrong. that’s okay. other characters are. tommy is so wrong all the time and i wrote this stupid ass essay to go to bat for him. tommy wants to use an evil egg for capitalism purposes. i say “i dont support your actions and i want better for you, but go funky little raccoon boy.” treat techno the same.

If you ship real minors:

Get the fuck out. No one wants you here. You are the problem. Re-evaluate yourself.

HEY GUYS GUESS WHAT

VICARIOUS TRAUMA IS A VERY REAL AND SERIOUS THING 

Basically, I was talking to my therapist today and she told me that when you get really invested in a storyline or are really emotionally connected to something, you can end up experiencing trauma just from hearing about it or seeing it. It happens even more easily when you’re already at a low point (aka stressed out or just all around feeling kinda meh)

Sometimes, you might not even realize that its happening or how its affecting you until the next day or week. But it’s still there. 

In other words, please for the love of god take care of yourself. This most recent arc is heavy and I can say with confidence that its taking a toll on all of us in one way or another

Tips on dealing with it

Here’s some advice that my therapist gave me that I thought I would share :D

1) When you are already feeling stressed out, try to take a break from the heavy lore streams. Its ok to not watch them live, the VODs exist for a reason. Not to mention, live-bloggers and recap blogs are here if you need them. We’re here to help each other

2) After a heavy lore stream, remind yourself that this is all fiction. None of it is real, and all the creators on the smp are still alive and safe and still good friends. Maybe go watch a fun, non-lore VOD for a bit :D

3) Every so often, take a step back and look at the smp objectively. Look at it from the eyes of a cynic. Remind yourself that its all m*necraft (censored for tagging reasons). It’s all a bunch of people in their late teens and early 20′s screaming at a ton of blocks. You know that meme of wilbur’s death where its comparing what animators make it look like vs what it actually was? Focus on what it actually was. Focus on just how silly everything is from an objective view

We’re all here to have fun, so please please take care of yourself <3
