Relativity Falls is showing up again and I'm here for it, but I'm sorry I just cannot believe that Mabel would cross dress for thirty years or steal Dipper's identity.
Like, I can imagine she'd try. But Mabel is more scatterbrained than Stan ever was. I feel like, over time, she'd just sort of forget.
One morning, she'd forget to touch up the big dipper birthmark, and everyone would assume it was fake as part of the Mystery Shack persona.
Next she grows her hair out again, because she gets into a groove repairing the portal and just forgets to trim it.
Eventually she forgets to wear a binder several days in a row, and no one mentions it! So she leaves it off because it's uncomfortable and such a hassle.
Over 20 years, she slowly drops the Mason identity and falls back into Mabel, so gradually she barely notices, and thanks to the Blind Eye no one else notices either.
Then one day, she looks in the mirror after a show and realizes all at once that she's utterly failed to keep up the facade, and no one cares.
I dunno about you, but that feels like delicious angst to me. It reminds her how utterly alone Dipper was out here. And imagine, someone who's kept their memories congratulates her on her "transition," and Mabel has to choke back a sob because (if you subscribe to the trans Dipper idea) it feels like she's spitting in her brother's face by basically undoing his transition.
Whether Dipper feels that way about it or not, Mabel would feel awful.
In brief, making Dipper and Mabel just copy the Stans' story verbatim is boring. Mix it up a little!
I was in a workshop the other day where someone was detailing how they, compared to others, show respect by not fidgeting and keeping eye-contact with people.
So yeah, I felt the need to make this comic.
Keep in mind: This isn't an ADHD specific problem and depending on the nuance, can stem from different areas like anxiety or autism. The eye-contact "issues" with ADHD stem more from impulsive eye-movements (the kind where you are not really looking at anything) and high distractability.
ADHD also has a significant overlap with eye-conditions and some studies suggest that ADHD medication can actually help with some eye-conditions. (Is that why my sight feels more blurry on days off medication?!)
Chag Sameach! Happy sixth night of Chanukah!
Fun Fact of the Day: Chanukah is celebrated at night because, like all Jewish holidays, it begins at sundown. This is because the Hebrew calendar is a lunar calender (and isn’t that fun because this is a Pearlescent MOON blog?) Currently on the Hebrew calendar it is the month of Kislev in 5785.
My headcannon is that as a child jimmy was a homeless orphan ignored by everyone
After his mother died he lost hope and just focus on staying alive until one day a group of kids visited the village it was big news and everyone came out to see the sight because the kids that visited where royalty from far off kingdoms future rulers
Jimmy saw how everyone stopped what they where doing just so they could get a glimpse of the promising youngsters and he was struck with longing to be noticed like them
From that day onward he made it his goal to become an emperor so people would love him like his mother used to
he dreamed up tumble town a place where he wouldn’t be an outcast and where people would respect him
He chose to settle in a dessert because in the town when it would rain due to not having a shelter he would get soaked and his belongings would risk being ruined
Because he was homeless he never when to school he only recently learned to read
In the town where he grew up there was a very wealthy family that had a young daughter named kirsty
kirsty was always told by her snobby parents to stay faraway from the dirty scrawny kid she would see sometimes around town and she did as she was told until one day she got lost in the woods she was scared and alone but then she found a cave in the cave was jimmy’s “home” she didn’t question it she was taught not to question anything if it benefited her
She took a look around and found many things food taken from the garbage, a poorly made cowboy hat and drawings of a sherif surrounded by townsfolk and adorned by them all
Then Jimmy returned at first he was embarrassed but then she started to ask about his plans and he started sharing the two of them talked until the Time came for him to show her back but that wasn’t the end of there friendship it was just the beginning
Kirsty would stop by whenever she could not telling her parents of course they would approve of her friend she was supposed to be learning to be proper lady a perfect example of a southern bell in the making not out climbing trees or digging in trash for food and other things to help jimmy
as the days went by she started to feel trapped jimmys enthusiasm inspired her his want for more made her want more
She encouraged jimmy to share his plans with others they started to recruit people Jimmys passion of infectious
Soon enough they started to put the plan into motion kirsty funded most of it but the others helped to so the pioneers set out to create tumble town
Jimmy has dedicated his life to tumble town and as you can imagine is terrified he will be replaced and cast out once again after all he was the outsider that went from the bottom straight to the top
he over works himself a lot trying to build the buildings and do all the paperwork so he doesn’t have to ask others because he feels he might loose their support and they will leave if he oversteps and pushes them away
I headcanon Joel to be the opposite he was born into health and and influence he much like kirsty was excepted to be a dignified and perfect from birth
Once he was put in charge he was finally free to do what he wanted he was like those kids that are super restricted and when they rebel they go way overboard
So Jimmy and joel are complete opposite
one had responsibility and devotion thrust onto him and the other had to fight tooth and nail for it
one craves the approval of other while the other stopped caring about what others think a long time ago
thought they needed a little reminder that they still have far more to lose if they double down on this stupidity. spread the word, it seems they're... very forgetful about this.
Lizzie is the second oldest god she started out as just an ocean god with only one domain under her belt and for a while she was alone
with time life grew in her ocean but unfortunately they were only single celled organisms who she could not hold a proper conversation
So she continued her lonely life until the first death which resulted in Jimmy the god of death making his first appearance leaving Lizzie shocked
because up until then she thought that there was nobody capable of communicating with her but at the same Time she was happy to not be alone anymore
That scene where Charlie slimecicle rips into quackity telling him he’s a bad person and a bad friend reminds me of that scene from she ra where scorpia rips into catra for the exact same thing except the she ra version does not end with murder because the dsmp is not against going there
I dunno if you’ve been asked this but if you had to pick a song based on cuteguy/grian, what song would you pick?
OH WE HAVE A PLAYLIST FOR THE AU SO BUCKLE UP!
Queen of Kings Is Cuteguy based on Lyrics/Story wise, but based on vibes only Dance the Night is a song I match with Cuteguy
Seventeen is definitely a Grian song storywise, but vibes only, any song of The Crane Wives fit his vibe
Cuteguy is Pop while Grian is Acoustic
Numb Little Guy is Scar lyrics/story wise (i will go insane dont test me), while vibes only he is So Alright, Cool, Whatever
Metaphor is sooo Hotguy coded when it comes to story, while GUY EXE is THE hotguy vibes
Any song that has Beach vibes reminds me of Scar, Hotguy songs need to have a big presence idk how to describe it
what kind of beautiful is the person you rbed this from?
I saw one similar to this but it got me curious so im doing the same thing but slightly shifted:
(ps: if the pfp has a lot of colors/a tertiary color, just chose the one that seems most obvious)
omg i didn’t realize that it was Joel’s ship but it makes sense and is cute ☺️
Absolutely OBSESSED with @cydanite 's olm lizzie design.
10/10 would give a mackerel to the long girl
