Its-been-rose - Up Gallows Creek Without A Paddle - Tumblr Blog

I watched ice age 2 recently and this dialogue just made me think of them so I had to whip out a quick sketch before I exploded

I’m sorry I just absolutely love this ship I think it’s great and silly

I also googled how to properly hold a vinyl just for this shitpost

Marie: you’re so lucky I pulled you out of that river. You were out cold. You could’ve died.

George: and I am forever grateful to you for that, I really am.

Marie: imagine what would’ve happened if I hadn’t been where I was. If I hadn’t been able to find you. I think about it so often. *tearing up* I don’t know what I would’ve done if I lost you… I couldn’t make it on my own…

George: hey you can’t think of this stuff, you know. You’re just freaking yourself out. Just focus on what is here right now. I’m fine, you’re fine, th’ baby’s fine. We have enough to think about right here.

Marie: *crying* what would I do if you weren’t here? My parents wouldn’t want anything to do with me.

George: we will never need to know the answer to that question. Ever. ‘Cause I’m right here and I’m not going nowhere. Please just try to go to bed Bean, you’re gonna make th’ baby nervous and then he’ll be kicking you all night again. Just take a deep breath.

Marie: I know… I just can’t help feeling like this is the best possible outcome and that we got ridiculously lucky. Like it’s a fluke.

George: maybe we did. Maybe it is. That should make us grateful, not fearful of what wasn’t.

Marie: hm…

I have been thinking about the GLAU all day and it’s so wholesome and sweet and lovely (can elaborate if desired) but I think my mind was like “you’ve had it too good time to suffer”

So now I’m thinking about an AU where Henry kills his mom before she can carry out her plan

God I kinda wanna do a run rn

And what if I actually filmed it properly and wasn’t stupid and key bound it to my freaking movement keys

Some sketches of George and Marie getting to go to their senior prom. Long live the class of ‘69! (Nice)

As requested by @eating-plastic lol

The absolute karma of Marie having to stay on earth as a ghost without George is kind of delicious especially if Forrest is mouthing off at her because he doesn’t think she’s real

Like she is absolutely miserable and hates GC and Forrest has to go and make it infinitely worse by sassing her

the concept of forrest being integrated and adopted into the town without really realizing it. getting specific and having him be unknowingly adopted into the weaver-campbell-barrow family. starting out with him staying close friends with peggy and helping her get through post-whistling night & extending the olive branch to her nephew. not having it register for forrest that he's continuing his role of support for the town and this family bc it happens as suddenly and organically as it did on whistling night. having marie come back into the picture somehow and running interference/referee btwn her & her sister/the town. driving with peggy to wherever henry is kept and bringing anyone henry can stand to be around along to help smooth things over. if all of them are inevitably alive and released then forrest finds himself helping run a rare get-together in someone's home where everyone promised to make a real effort to get along this time. the idea of this character who, back in his hometown, might've been known as charming but admittedly weird now still That Guy but compared to everyone he's found himself spending so much time with, it almost feels like he's the straightman of a comedy duo who tries to keep things in order. and in some stupid-crazy happy ending, it fucking works. he's baking. there's 2 slashers and at least 2 other people they tried to kill bickering at the table, and he's baking.

Ok but imagine if George and Marie got to go to their senior prom-

She wouldn’t wanna go because obviously she would be like…. Mega pregnant

But he would encourage it

And they show up and she’s literally in a beautiful gown with a matching corsage and matching his tie and he’s so proud of his beautiful wife and she’s so self conscious

And like at first everyone was like oh wow so that’s where she went but then they are like kinda jealous of how in love they are

So the subreddit is getting into a bit of an argument rn cuz people are arguing if the opening credits scene is Clive or not

And someone is like “oh well there’s a note in Reggie’s office and a note at the end credits that tells you Clive is alive” and I’m like

Is this an excuse to go and do another playthrough because I think yes

Update:

I rosesplained the puzzle too hard and they got offended because I insulted their intelligence

If someone could tell me politely when to shut the fuck up because I’m being an overbearing piece of shit that would be wonderful

Lmao someone was complaining that the only way you’d be able to save Ricky is if you believed Marie was untrustworthy so it was basically a crapshoot

And I was like

Uh

No

You get at least 5 clues that tell you outright she’s lying

That’s a lot more than other callers

The game REALLY wants you to save Ricky

Not-Canon Canon voice hcs (basically if they didn't have the voice actors they did, what voices would fit them best) Gaslight gatekeep girlboss: Beatrice Horseman The dead guy: The Lich Lovable and puntable: Bojack Horseman Beautiful baby boy: The guy that sung Digital Silence (S tier song) The other dead guy: Albert Hammond Bitchass McGee: (In a perfect world he'd be dead before he says a single word) J Jonah Jameson: J K Simmons

I also feel like Forrest could easily be voiced by Andrew Rea (binging with babish)

Like idk to me it’s really damn close to his in game VA

I wanna do an animatic of Forrest to the one short of Andrew drinking Gatorwine and getting progressively drunker

Also I’m glad you brought in someone with a bit of gravel in their voice for Marie because when I see other like singing voice claims and stuff for her they’re usually very smooth and more soprano but she is definitely an alto and she has some grit in her voice that makes it so beautifully rich like dark chocolate from the Netherlands

Peggy: Forrest, can you tell me more about your friendship with Roddy???? I’m sooo curious.

Forrest: he makes good music. I like to play good music. We hung out. Thats about all I have to say on that.

Peggy: ugh that must’ve been so fun- he seems like such a fun person. You must’ve had so much fun in the 70’s.

Forrest: *narrowing his eyes* ….im not telling you what i did in the 70’s. That’s between me and God.

Peggy: well now I HAVE to know.

Forrest: sorry. It’s in the vault.

Peggy: you’re no fun.

Forrest: you wouldn’t say that if you knew me in the 70’s.

Peggy: Asshole. Why do you torture me?

Forrest: torturing you is literally my job.

People: wait why did Marie make you get the song from outside if she wasn’t going to kill you when you got outside

Me: it’s almost like… it’s almost as if she wasn’t lying to you for once and just genuinely wanted to listen to her favorite song

So I’m watching a review of Paranorman and apart from the town motto of Blithe Hollow being “a great place to hang!” (Because a witch got hanged lol) And Gallows Creek’s being “a great place to rest your bones” (get it because George’s body was found resting on the riverbank HA ha)

The message of “treating someone unfairly and unkindly due to your own fears and instincts of self preservation could turn them into a monster” rings LOUD AND CLEAR in both media.

The judges (and townspeople) who sentenced Aggie to death were scared because they didn’t know what she could do with her powers and wanted to preserve themselves and protect them from her.

The townspeople of gallows creek didn’t help Marie out of fear of retaliation from the Gallows family and a desire to preserve the status quo and put this event behind them (especially the gallowses themselves, who feared losing social standing and power)

I’m not saying Paranorman was one of the inspirations for the game but I’m not NOT saying that. Especially with the goofy horror-comedy tone of the film.

Addendum: the line “soemthing in <the little girl> came back, and the longer it stayed, the less there was of the little girl. All that’s left of you is mean and horrible. You’re a monster! Stop! This is wrong and you know it!” Is scarily relevant

Happy spooky month from the resident ghosties

The original photoshoot is on Instagram and it’s absolutely adorable it’s by kazthequeenofglitter

It was so hard choosing which photo to do but I like this one.

Hopefully it’s easy to see who this is lol

So I saw a photograph of an actress in 1964 wearing Jean shorts that were quite short (tbh shorter than I would’ve thought for the time) and then I just thought of Marie wearing herself a pair in the summertime and George trying to be a gentleman and not look but like having a peep before tearing his eyes away

But then like if you know what old basketball shorts looked like (hint: they were short), imagine George Jason and Marie going to hang out and play basketball and enjoy the nice summer day outside and Marie is just like “damn”

One of my ideas for another YouTube video is just a supercut titled “Marie Campbell being hot- I mean, “femme fatale” for X minutes and X seconds”

And it’s just clips of the very thing

I see a lot of posts about King Falls AM because that fandom uses the KFAM hashtag too, so it just winds up in my feed, and every time I’m always like “well howdy, fandom neighbor! Lovely dash we’re having this evening, huh?”

Also to anyone in the king falls am fandom wants these goddamn murder game weirdos off of your feed, I am terribly sorry.

This game is terrible for my mental health

because one moment I’m like “hee hee Forrest say silly things, so goofy, middle aged man be acting wild”

to

“surviving entirely alone in a world that wouldn’t even let her make a bank account without a man on top of making and then subsequently raising an entire other human that needs to be clothed and fed with no mental health support cost Marie her sanity, and by the time she came across anyone even slightly interested in helping her it was already far too late for her”

in like two minutes

Laughter to tears speedrun every day with this shit

GEORGE LIVES AU SICKFIC WHEN

- Marie jumping into the river and rescuing him before he drowns

- Marie resuscitating him and helping him get the water out of his lungs and staying with him until help arrives but he is so concussed and out of it he literally does not remember

- George demanding to see her in the hospital, absolutely indignant that the nurses will not let him see ‘his woman’ because he needs to be focusing on resting

- The nurses eventually relenting and letting him see her and she scolds him for scaring her and for kicking up such a fuss before hugging him (it hurts him a lot cuz he probably got pretty banged up underwater but he does not care)

- Jason coming to visit him and George having to calm Marie down because she was still really mad at him. George felt no offense whatsoever (he was very understanding about Jason’s intentions and knew he would intentionally try to hurt him)

- Marie coming by every day he’s in the hospital recovering from the concussion (about 2-3 days after he wakes up) and teaching him what they learned in class that week (again he fell on a Monday lol)

- Marie helping him learn how to walk on crutches after his ankle/shin/leg got fucked up

- Marie and George and maybe Jason confronting Teddy about being an asshole

- Marie coming back from the hospital (no at home pregnancy tests at this time folks, you literally had to go and do lab tests like you would for the flu and stuff) and telling George about Henry while dude is literally still on crutches and feeling the effects of a head injury

-shotgun wedding where dude literally has walk down the aisle in crutches the poor thing

- basically the reverse of an above scenario where he is now taking care of her when she is suffering from bad morning sickness and nausea and fatigue

- basically a reverse of an above statement where George comes home (I assume they are either staying at his house or are renting a place of their own by this point) and teaches Marie what they talked about in school after she got too pregnant to attend

Just them constantly taking care of each other rrrrraaaaaaaaah

Man I need to write and or draw some more live wire shit because every time I think about those silly mid life crisis havers shamelessly flirting like high schoolers I just smile and giggle and kick my feet

Piggybacking off of this

in the GLAU I can totally imagine him being like “hey bean I’m gonna take Henry back down to my neck of the woods for a special father son hunting trip” and Marie is like “oh okay have fun boys” and like they’re in the car on the way down and Henry is like “I’m excited to go hunting with you, pa” and George goes “oh I’m also gonna teach you how to make proper moonshine but don’t tell your ma or she’ll kill us both.”

More George headcanons because yea:

- Fucking loves spicy food. His mom definitely made the best chili when he was younger.

- #1 menace to a tall tree. Grew up sporty, started off with menacing the local wildlife.

- You're tellin me this kid didn't race the deer near him?

- SOMEHOW wrestled a coyote and won without getting rabies. Still amazes his family and the town he grew up in.

- Got his ass kicked yeah, but no rabies. That's all that really matters.

- Had a little old woman who ADORED him, always dropped him by gifts as a reward for him being the town helper.

- It was impossible to get him to stay inside. If he were ever grounded, they'd make him stay inside and do nothing. Couldn't even make him clean because he liked doing that.

- Vulture Culture kinda kid. His room and back deck were a mess of animal bits and bobs.

- Has random sticks just chilling in his room decor. [I have some chilling in my Non-Christmas-Christmas lights. + A random bone we found in the creek a while back]

I really hope for George’s sake he just stopped existing when he died because the alternatives are terrible

First: he becomes a ghost and has to wander around completely alone thinking his best friend died and his girlfriend may or may not be alive. Depending on if this goes by Beetlejuice rules, he may have to spend all of his time as a ghost dripping wet and cold too.

Second: he goes to some sort of afterlife where he is aware of everything happening on earth (Y’Know the traditional ‘he’s looking down on you’ type stuff) and therefore would find out that Marie was kicked out and he had a kid he could not help her take care of. It would be the most cruel thing ever to make him watch them both suffer where he can’t help.

Third: he went to an afterlife where he CANT know what’s happening on earth, but he would still be unhappy because Marie is not with him, and even if he was told she was fine it would have been a lie. And he would have basically spent his eternity just sitting and waiting for her and not Y’Know enjoying being dead.

All horrible existences, some worse than others but still

OR I mean he could just be automatically put somewhere and his memory is just completely erased but then that’s not really him is it?

God I LOVE the George lives au because like George waking up in the hospital like a day or so later and the doctors are trying to test his brain to make sure he didn’t get brain damage and stuff like “ok what’s the last thing you remember” and he’s like “I was running… someone was chasing me… oh my goodness- where’s B- Marie?! Is Marie Campbell here? Is she okay?” And the doctors are like “uh… she’s not the one who fell off a cliff and almost drowned. YOU were.” And he’s like “Never mind all that, where is she??”

When she hears he woke up and the Barrows are like “you need to come to the hospital he’s demanding to see you and he won’t take his medicine or answer questions until he does.” So she runs there and visits him and obviously sees him and he’s got a big bandage on his head and a cast on one leg and one arm in a sling and she’s like “oh my god are you okay??” And he chuckles despite his whole insides hurting like “oh, you don’t need to worry about old me. I’m fit as a fiddle. How are you?” And she’s just like “don’t you do that to me, George Barrow, you could have died if I didnt pull you out of that river. You were unconscious for a whole day!” And he’s like “oh. Well. I’m sorry I couldn’t walk you home, Bean.” And she’s like “literally who gives a shit, I’m just glad you’re alive!” And he’s like “well I could say the same about you, I thought the whistling man gotcha.” And then she goes “oh- yeah- no, Georgie, it was all an act, see. Teddy was just messing with you. I wasn’t in any danger. Jason’s okay, I’m okay, it was all fake.” And George just sits there in his hospital bed for a second like “….oh, he’s done it now. No one messes with my girl.” And Marie just laughs like “oh yeah? What are you doing to do? You can’t even walk.” And George is like “I’ll think of something!!”

And she just visits him all the time and takes care of him and is as instrumental in his recovery as the nurses are and he looks forward to seeing her every day

And obviously eventually he can leave and go home and stuff. But he also gets the news he’s gonna be a dad and stuff and he’s hyped

It’s just so cute
