I can't stop thinking about how Stan Pines, a man who was kicked out of his home at a young age by his abusive father, turned his own home into such a safe space for not just the twins, but his employees and the kids friends as well.
First of all, we know Wendy frequently slacks off on her shifts, she has her roof top hideaway but she also reads magazines and flat out refuses to do certain tasks. Like when Stan asked her to put up a sign and she just said she couldn't reach it, or telling Stan "absolutely not" when he asked her and Soos to clean the bathrooms. Not only could Stan fire her, he could take away her magazines or stop her from going on the roof. We see that Stan is more observant than he lets on, you're telling me he didn't notice her dragging a cooler and a lawn chair up there? And she's either bringing her own pop and ice to fill that cooler or she's taking his.
And then there's Soos, who Stan cares about so much he got himself on the no-fly list trying to get his birthday removed from calendars, just because it made him upset. We know Soos cares about the Mystery Shack, he feels comfortable there, and he respects and adores Stan. Soos also volunteered to DJ for free at Stans summer party.
We also frequently see Soos and Wendy hanging out with the twins, so either they're slacking off during working hours or they're coming over after their shifts just to hang out. In an after credits scene, we see Mabel and Dipper turn Soos into a disco ball and they're clearly in the residential part of the shack. So either Soos buggered off during working hours to hang out with the twins or he's off shift just chilling. Either way, Stan is fine with him being in the actual house part of the shack.
Wendy also helps Mabel try and make Stan more 'desirable' to Lazy Susan, which I'll get into later, but she's not working and she also in the house part of the shack. We also see Soos and Wendy watching television with Stan, Mabel, and Dipper during the Summerween episode. They aren't on shift! They're just chilling. Wendy hits Stan in the face with a water balloon while working as a lifeguard. She's comfortable teasing him.
Soos tags along with Stan, Dipper, and Mabel when they break into the golf course after hours. He brings his shirts to cut Ws into. He doesn't have to be there, he just is. Wendy goes hunting with Mabel and her friends for unicorns. Mabel wins a pig at the fair and Stan lets her keep it, the pig needs food, who do you think is footing that bill?
Now let's talk about friends. Mabel often has Candy and Grenda over, we know she has loud sleepover with them. Do you think Mabel would bring her friends over if she wasn't comfortable in the house? Do you think Candy and Grenda would keep coming over if they didn't feel safe? Not to mention, they literally ambush Stan in the bathroom and give him a make over. Which he allows, we see him fight off the undead, punch bald eagles, and catch the twins when they fell from the nose of that monument. The man is strong, he could get three preteen girls off him if he wanted to, he was 100% playing along.
Candy and Grenda also invite themselves along on their road trip. And Stan lets them come!! Mr cheap stake agrees to feed and care for two extra kids who aren't his family.
Dipper sneaks around trying to see his tattoo, he feels safe enough with Stan to push those boundaries. He literally pulled the Memory Gun on Ford during the basement scene, if he wasn't comfortable with Stan, he wouldn't try to get that close to him. He calls Stan when he and Mabel are trapped in a haunted convenience store (he doesn't answer but still, he called him).
Now let's talk about Gideon, because I will stand by the Stan had some fondness for the kid. We know Stan has been annoyed with Gideon for a while, we know Gideon has been gunning for Stan for a while. And Stan just... Keeps letting this happen. He never involves the police, he plays along with Gideons attempts, even when Gideon is laughing uncontrollably, Stan just assured him that "you'll get me one day kid". Even when Gideon climbs in THROUGH THE WINDOW all Stan does is aggressively sweep at his feet. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Stan never gets rough with Gideon.
I'm just, I'm weeping over the knowledge that Stan Pines, who wasn't safe in his own home, made his home a safe place for kids as an adult.

DISCLAIMER: obviously this is just for fun and they are just coincidences
I was searching for symbolic meanings of the willow tree, and I found this, all of you probably know where iâm headed.
âthe willow has many healing propertiesâ in this case itâs stated as physical pain, but I interpreted it as a psychlogical way, as we saw in âLabyrinth Runnersâ Willow helped Gus when he had a mental breakdown and he started to breathe properly thanks to her, and you know who else will probably need her help? Hunter !
âthe willow tree may look dainty but, itâs power is not one to be underestimated.â a reference to willowâs past:being called half-a-witch and being underestimated by one of her ex closest friend: Amity, I can say that this is a cute coincidence (or maybe itâs not) Willow is also very feminine (she wears skirts,and is in fact, very dainty) but at the same time she is very strong and resilient, and it doesnât delete any of her feminine traits.
âThe flexible yet resilient willow tree encourages us all throughout life showing us the way to adjust to lifeâs pressures without âsnappingââ a reference to not only her determination as we saw in âany sports in a stormâ but also in an emotional way, we never saw Willow really angry to Amity,she doesnât hold too much to past actions but at the same time she doesnât consider Amity one of her closest friend anymore, she isnât angry but she knows her value. source: https://tree2mydoor.com/pages/information-trees-celtic-tree-calendar-willow-tree-symbolism
âThe willow reminds us to let go and to surrender completely to our innermost selves. And, to gain a deeper understanding of our subconsciousâ: we know that probably hunter has an identity crisis right now for being a grimwalker, so maybe Willow could help him out discover who he really wants to be and who he really is (similiar to Willowâs character development where she is seen by Amity as her old self, and now she is her true self, as also Gus said) so probably Willow will play a major role
âWe can also look at how the willow tree encourages the expression of deep emotions, including grief and sadness through tears and teaching us the value and consequences of love and lossâ still another reference to what role Willow may play in Hunterâs life, Hunter is definetely in a bad place right now, so since willow trees can also represent the expression of deep emotions,she could help Hunter to open up to them in order to feel better and letting show his fragile side
âOne of the greatest symbolic meanings of the willow tree is that even through great loss we have the ability to grow and there is potential for something newâ: can be correleted to both Hunter and Willow, Willow lost Amity and grew mentally becoming her real self, as for Hunter it may symbolize the loss of his uncle and the loss of his admiration towards him, maybe Willow may help him grow mentally by giving him some support :) (together with the squad obviously) source:https://willowplaceforwomen.com/symbolism-of-the-willow-tree/
 I FINISHED MY RANTING IF YOU READ THE WHOLE THING THANK YOU,HAVE A COOKIE
Is this anything. Idk. It came to me in a vision.
being so jealous that su got a trilogy of cool rpg games..... gravity falls rpg is still living in my brain....
Have you seen this man?? Local woman and son on search for wanted-criminal husband.
Aka, Penelope and Telemachus get fed up and go on their own quest to find Odysseus, and have a completely normal time
Here's some edits cause I always wondered what Hunter's expressions were under the maskđ
Odysseus, who just violently and mercilessly murdered 108 or so men, who claims in the next song that heâs no longer a kind or gentle man, actively listens to Telemachus and kindly and gently responds to everything his sonâs expressed.
Telemachus asks, âAm I like you? Am I strong like you? Will you embrace me? Will you love and accept me as yours?â He says, âIâve felt so alone.â
And Odysseus claims him in a heartbeat, answering, âMy son. My boy. My sweetest joy Iâve ever known. I embraced you twenty years ago. Iâd do the impossible for you. Iâd die for you.â He says, âSeeing the men here today, I can only wonder what youâve been through for twenty years. My son, youâre already strong. Youâre my own. Youâre not alone. Iâm home.â
And then they fucking embrace.
a hero in his own way đ«Ą
they both lost the kids in the divorce
