Nobody Told Me It Ended.

nobody told me it ended.

Working on something very cool

Sorry if my English isn't the best but I want to share my opinion about the monster at work s2 ending

Ok so, everyone is confused about Randall being bestie with Johnny but I have an explanation about what we see in the episode.

First if all, long time ago, I don't remember where, I saw a post about someone rewatching MI after MU and nothing how Randall was always some kind of nerd (like the random karate stuff, very nerdy)

So after that post I cannot stop noticing how right it is, Randall is evil but still a nerd, and the worst time of nerd.

Randall all he want is attention and being on the spotlight, he want the attention of the cool kids.

After Johnny save him he is in a total delulu that they are bestie, I don't know how to explain it properly but if u have ever met this kind of people you know what I'm talking about.

In his view the cool kid that barely talked to him one time (and was one of the first who recognised his potential) now want his help and also saved him.

For him that mean that even after of that Johnny still considered him.

Basically to him he is his best friend because he don't even know what an actual friend is like, so to him that's the best anyone have ever treat him.

On the other side, Johnny is using him BUT he is at least considering him a lot more that in the past.

He rescued him only because he need him BUT Randall isn't totally the same of the past, he has a dark side now and he's ready to hurt people if needed.

Johnny always have some kind of dark side (not the biggest but still) and now that he is where he is in life his dark side is huge just like his ego. Basically to him Randall is now more like someone relatable than just a random nerd. After saving him he definitely started to consider him a friend or at least actually useful.

Basically I'm saying, yes he saved him only to use him but he ended up finding some kind of friend in him, and Randall in his delulu mind think that's mean that they are bestie (and the fact that they know each other for long time mean they always were friend, BUT it could also be Johnny that persuaded him to think that, like: "Randall!! It's been so long!! Yes of course I remember you! Weren't we bestie???" To maybe manipulate him, you know what I mean.)

Ok so unless next season actualy explain if this is how it happen or if actualy something happen after MU this is what I think.

Before I end I just want to talk about one last thing about them and their relationship.

The thing I want to say is: Of course Randall is delulu about them and actually happy to work for him (he visibly is)

Remember MI? Remember how Henry treated Randall? Go watch it again because he totally didn't respect him even after all of his work, he used him but never thanked him.

He litteraly make it clear how much he liked Sully more than him.

Johnny didn't do that, because to him Sully and Mike are enemies.

Johnny, even if he's using Randall, have showed him way more respect and even friendship than Henry did. They are basically mean girl plotting together. So of course Randall consider him his bestie and is happy to work with him.

To his eyes, the cool kid isn't just finaly considering him, but think he is a cool kid too.

Ok I'm done.

Hope my English wasn't to broken (I should do this type of post way more, it help me to exercise my grammar)

I forgot to share some drawings.

I know I’m a few years late to the Gravity Falls party, but I can’t get over how effectively the Ford reveal flips the switch on Stan’s character. From what little I’d seen of the show on Tumblr before I watched it, I’d always assumed Stan was a pretty one-dimensional sleazy con man. And since it was a series aimed toward kids, I kind of assumed Stan wouldn’t get that much development or story outside of Dipper and Mabel. I figured if he did have an arc, it would be the pretty common “gruff bitter loner guy who doesn’t like people gets kids and learns to love them” storyline. 

And for like the first half of the show, this kind of seemed to be the case, aside from the mystery surrounding whatever Stan was hiding in the basement.

And then the Ford reveal / backstory happens and you see Stan in a completely new light. 

Stan isn’t a con man because he wants to be. He’s a con man out of necessity - first because he was kicked out of his house and forced to make it on his own at 18, and then because it was helping him work to bring his brother back. He doesn’t just run the mystery shack because he likes to lie to people and swindle them out of their money - he does it because he needed a way to make money and keep the shack while trying to figure out a way to reopen the portal. He has a fake identity because he needed to keep people from snooping around looking for Stanford and the easiest way to do that was to take his place.

All the things that make you think he’s selfish and shady throughout the first half of the series are revealed to be because he’s a desperate, heartbroken man who wants to bring his brother back. He isn’t the traditional gruff guy who doesn’t love anyone until some rambunctious kids come into his life at all - he loves his brother so much that literally everything he does is to get him back. And he lies to the kids in an effort to protect them and keep anything bad from happening to them like it did to his brother.

Great twists / mystery reveals don’t just take the story in a new direction - they cast new light on everything that has come before. And Gravity Falls does that so well.

Just look at one of the first episodes in the series where Mabel makes a wax figure of Stan and Stan appears to fall in love with it and mourns it when it melts, going as far to host a funeral for it. Without knowing Stan’s backstory, this whole storyline just feeds into our view of Stan as a self-centered, ridiculous person. It’s ridiculous he would cherish a wax figure of himself. It’s so egotistical that he would host a funeral for it when it died and get honestly choked up about it.

But then you learn that Stan lost his twin brother and that whole storyline doesn’t really feel like the story of a selfish, egotistical man anymore. It’s the story of a man who felt like he got his brother back again momentarily and then had to lose him all over again.

That’s an effective twist. You can’t learn about Stan’s backstory and then go back and view him the same way you did before it. 

Ok but today was a great day for my own confidence.

I talked on two different platforms about two of my biggest interest (I never actualy share my opinion due being shy plus some difficulties to speak in english)

And in both case people were interested.

I will try to share my theory's more and hope for the best.

Love you all 💖💖💖💖💖
