Piggybacking Off Of This

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]

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

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

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

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

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
