@stanuary for week two I've finally written an idea I've been kicking around for a while now: What if Stan "inherited" the farm from Stardew Valley?

Oops! It turned into multichap!

15Qs and 15As

Thanks for the tag @marvelandponder ! Been a while since I've done one of these

I'll tag @orangeoctopi7 @notquitechrome @nuttyinks @amaranthbirate and @cinemageddonreviews if they want!

Don't dox yourself on the 'where were you born' question tho, y'all. We're better than that.

Are you named after anyone? No but two of my aunts think I am apparently. So that stays between us.

When was the last time you cried? Probably like a month ago for reasons I don't want to talk about.

Do you have kids? No and probably won't have any of my own. Though I would like to foster one someday when I get my own life together.

What sports do you play/have you played? I played a lot of baseball and softball all through Elementary School

Do you use sarcasm? Yeah lots of times. But I try to be really obvious about it because I know how hard it is to tell sometimes.

What is the first thing you notice about people? Maybe... how they approach someone? Like how someone greets or interacts with another person. Especially a stranger. Does that make sense?

What is your eye color? Blue!

Scary movies or happy endings? Happy endings! As much as I appreciate a compelling cautionary tale, I have a hopeless desire for characters I get attached to to just, be happy in the end

Any talents? Ugh! My self deprecating attitude is kicking in!! I'd like to think I'm a good artist and writer, I'm good at organizing stuff, I can do a few close up magic tricks (like 3) and I'm polite. Is that last one a talent? IDK

Where were you born? I am going to follow in Marvel's example and NOT dox myself, but I will say it was a hospital in my dad's hometown. Which later treated me for a rare disease. So that's nice!

What are your hobbies? Quite a few! But a lot of them revolve around creativity and entertainment. My whole Youtube channel is a hobby technically. I collect all sorts of stuff, I like learning unusual facts about history and science, I draw, write, sculpt. And I'd like to get better at baking and cooking.

Do you have any pets? Yes! My little brat/angel of a dog Rikki

How tall are you? 5' 6" last I checked. About average I think.

Favorite subject in school? I liked most subjects in school! If school only relied on being good at it academically I would have exceled. But my favorites were always variations on Math and History.

Dream job? My first job was working in my local library and I'd love to work in that kind of environment again. Somewhere centered around archiving or educating, surrounding my materials I have a real passion for helping people comb through, in a way where i don't have to talk to large crowds lol

Yeah it would be nice if I could make Youtube stuff full time, but I realized pretty quickly that I do not have the skill nor the constitution to take on that oversaturated beast. So I just do it for fun!

Throwback Thursday to Summer 2013 when I watched the MCU with roommates (including a first-timer):

Thor (2011)

*squad arrives on Jotunheim*

Hogun: We should not be here

Roommate: Trust the Asian guy

Farandal: *is stabbed*

Roommate: No, you're cute! Don't die!

Thor: *is strapped to hospital bed*

Roommate: Yeah, strapped to the bed, smart one!

The Avengers (2012)

Steve Rogers: *climbs the interior of the Helicarrier's storage room*

Roommate: Oooh, I didn't know you were Spider-man, too!

Hawkeye possessed by Mind Stone: *shoots arrow that fries the computers on the helicarrier bridge*

Roommate 2: "My galaga!"

Top five favorite Amphibia episodes

oooh wasn’t expecting this ask, I like it!

1. Reunion

2. Marcy at the Gates

3. Hopping Mall

4. The Sleepover to End All Sleepovers

5. Fiddle Me This

honorable mention is Wax Museum, which feels unfair to put on the list because it’s a crossover, but it did bring me immense joy! I also feel like there’s one or two more favorites I’m forgetting, but I’m very certain of those top 3

I hate to be that guy, but do you know where to watch the new ducktales episodes online if you don't have access to the Disney Now app? They still haven't been uploaded to Google Play.

They’re available on iTunes and Amazon! I think they normally upload them pretty quickly, at the most I think it’s ever taken is a day.

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love❤

As much as I dislike chain letters, I do enjoy trying to hock my fics to an unsuspecting audience.

1. The Wrong Stan-an AU where during Weirdmageddon, Bill captures Stan instead of Ford

2. Return Backwards to the Past Again 4-time travel AU where homeless Stan meets two strange young people who say they want to hire him for transportation to a little town in Oregon

3. Island of the Lost-another AU (there’s a recurring pattern here) where instead of taking the car after getting kicked out, Stan takes the boat

4. Two Worlds, One Family-Crossover AU(!)-a recently divorced Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz accidentally brings a recently kicked out Stan Pines forward in time, and the end result has the potential to work out surprisingly well for both of them

5. One Rainy Night-the beginning of my most ambitious AU ever, where a flip of a coin and a conversation with an old woman make all the difference in the world in changing the Pines twins’ future

Sooooooo...... 2022

2022 was...... a year.

A year where it felt like nothing and everything happened all at once! At least for me.

I feel like my daily productivity suffered the most. Between how demanding my job can be, the stresses in my home life that popped up throughout the year, not to mention getting COVID after avoiding it for so long back in August (0/10 would not recommend), things just kept coming up and even repetition became exhausting. To the point that I was only able to make 13 Let’s Talk About reviews this year. Which I think is an all time low!

But in a way, all of that, was the marathon to get to the very special moments I had throughout the year. The most significant being, getting to meet up with online friends. Before this year, I’d only managed to meet two of my friends in person. Now, I think that number is at a dozen! It’s wild to me that I even have that many friends, but the fact that I took the chances and had the ability to see these people face to face, to talk and laugh and hug for as long as was appropriate because we’re still in a pandemic (mask up guys), was truly special in a way I treasure.

Even when those connection were just over the world wide web, as they have been since Day 1, they would always brighten my day. I’d be eager to check my notifications when I got home to see if someone posted something, or wanted to share something they thought I’d like. I may not have posted much myself (I’ll work on that), but whether here on Tumblr, Youtube, Discord or yes, even Twitter, it felt good, as it always has, to see what the people I care about are up to, and maybe exchange some words on what’s new. Not to mention you guys would motivate me a lot to work on reviews, which was very helpful!

Also my Mom and I started watching the Great British baking Show and have binged pretty much all of that this year. Which was a fun comfort for sure!

It’s now 2023. The year I’m going to turn 30. Which is.... frankly terrifying to me. 

But you know what? As 2022 was wrapping up, I was feeling a bit more optimistic about it. Because it’s when I looked back on the good times I had with my family, the experiences I got to have after two years of lockdown, and friends old and new who I’ve shared many good times with, I realize that there’s always something to look forward to. Even if you feel like you’re behind, you can catch up.

Whatever happens, I hope like this year, I have more experiences where I push myself a bit more. To get out there, to make connections, and to form wonderful memories I’ll look back on everyday. Because when I did that during 2022..... it felt pretty damn good.

I know I’ve written sappy posts like this before. Where I thank friends like @orangeoctopi7 @amaranthbirate @marvelandponder @blackscarabfilmz and @jinxproductions (welcome to Tumblr Jinx, there is no escape) for being constant presences of fun, laughs, encouragement and friendship. But know that no matter how many times I say it... I mean it. Every year that passes, is a year where I realize how truly lucky I am to have you all.

To borrow a phrase from one of my dear friends. I guess what I’m really trying to say is....

I’m really happy you’re here.

Here’s to 2023.

#new year #update post #thank you all for being here #I'll be here as long as you'll have me <3

For the Fic Ask, although I wouldn't be surprised if someone else has beaten me to the punch: The Man Downstairs

(Re: this post) You’re the first to ask, thanks!  :D   Even though this is the most pantser-ish thing I’ve ever written, it also had/has probably the most “super want to write that” scenes of any fan work I’ve attempted before.  It started with chapter 1 as THAT SCENE and I really didn’t have anything else in mind yet at that point.  But it wasn’t long before some vivid ideas made me want to write more: ~The whole eye thing but especially the scene where Ford tried to hide how bad it had gotten ~His breakdown and how Bill pushed him over the edge while he was in the surgery center (which sparked the later breakdown scene when his good eye started bleeding) ~Pretty much all of chapter 15, but in particular, the part where the guys took a sledge hammer to the portal and had that exhausted and so done with things but also remembering what it’s like to be there for each other bonding moment, as well as Ford’s struggle with “how do you apologize for trying to kill your own brother” followed by his breakdown and Stan just sort of hugging him the best he could considering Ford was tied to a chair.   ~Not sure if this counts or not but just, the basement room in general and developing it as a functional space, which has been especially fun because of integrating reader input (I appreciate it so so much!  Thanks, guys!) ~The stuff with Wendy and her dad, though that was more like an idea I really wanted to include somewhere rather than a planned out scene ~Stan’s breakdown in chapter 40, though it played out more messily/longer in my head The rest are hints to upcoming scenes: ~Something involving Gideon that is more of a plan for where things are going in the near future than a specific scene ~Stan vs his punching bag because reasons ~Something that’s actually quite happy ~Something that is definitely a spoiler but it’s going to be kind of funny, I hope. ~Something involving Dipper and Mabel’s parents ~Something involving the FBI and Stan’s past colliding with his present ~Something involving Bill taking advantage of outside forces ~Something involving the head of Wax Larry King  ~A lot of somethings involving Dipper and/or Mabel but especially two things involving Mabel (one where she makes a useful phone call and one that might end up in a related one-shot if it doesn’t fit in before a certain point in the plot because it’s also related to something that’s, IME, realistic for Ford’s mental health situation) ~Something that may not fit in just because, as much as I love the character motivation behind it, how much it would hurt everyone involved (evil laugh), that some elements would be satisfying/would tie some things together, and that Ford and Mabel would each get to do something kinda cool, it just seems like everyone (especially Stan) would know that Bill would be one step ahead of them.  I’m still hoping to make this part work out but if it feels too forced, I’ll do something else.
