Interaction time! So when did you get into Gravity Falls? Is it something you watched when you were younger or just diving into now?
Alternatively, when did you get into Fillbord and how? 👁️ 👁️

WHOO BOY! I do love this question!
I got into the show essentially when it came out, I wouldn't stop talking about it CONSTANTLY--Now the fandom? Well I've also been a part of it since I can really remember. I actually remember watching it develop with the internet, only making my obsession with this show soooo much worse HAHA!
I've very much dove into all the content since the beginning, I've been posting fanart and such since 2014/15 but I have confidently scrubbed my digital footprint behind me every time I move socials so I don't have much to show outside of this golden drawing HAHA!
Billford specifically? I was never really the type of person to get into ships--still am not--and I remember HATING billdip (super popular at the time) but was always kind of enamored with Ford and his dynamics with other characters. I guess something in 2015 child me brain saw Bill and Ford and was like 'duo of the century' HAHA.
TLDR; I've been interested since the shows release, interacting with the fandom spaces since 2014 but stopped in 2019, and just recently came back and decided to start posting again! I've been interested in Bill and Fords dynamic since 2015.
I'm so happy to see this fandom still so alive and active, while it may not be as thriving as it was in 2015-2017 it is definitely full of some great people and I'm SO GLAD I've decided to start interacting more hands on !

for those confused- the blond boy is GOLDEN FREDDY. this is obvious when he shows up in abby's home and is very clearly apprearing AS GF, with the missing ear, busted eye etc (not to mention disappearing when abby gets to the pizzeria, because he is a GHOST and doesnt have a physical animatronic to possess) BUT
this is also made obvious by his placement and his role amongst the group. we never hear any of the other kids talk, even as animatronics. just him. people consider freddy the leader of the band, but hes Not the leader of the ghost pack. the most powerful of the 5 is golden freddy, with the ability to instant kill in game, create the hallucinations and such.
ALSO something that stuck out to me is where hes always seen standing.... it'a very reminiscent of where we see golden freddy in the bad ending of fnaf 3- hes found a place inbetween the others
hes the one who always seems Off, and the blond boy is the only one who is a logical fit for him. plus given how obvious the other kids are connected to an animatronic, i think the blond hair makes it kiiiiinda blatant. (and he has gold stripes on his shirt, if you wanna argue 'his shirt is brown!!')
PLUS the blond ghosts actions VS the animatronic freddy just dont match up. the ghost kid is a planner, cunning and somewhat manipulative. freddy is just a silly guy who acts no more menacing than the rest of the gang. GF's only tools are his words because he doesnt have a body....
(garrett is also very clearly the puppet in this universe-!! so he's definitely still involved.)

i started watching inside no 9 and idk there is smthg about reece shearsmith's face specifically that compels me so much, like in every situation even before he speaks i am instantly so interested in knowing more about his character (plus he usually plays an evil and/or pathetic little freak which i like)

im sorry i have to rant im so fucking pissed
my exams end on 19th and I have to get rid of some books and buy some books which are quite pricy online so I had planned on going to college street on 20th and selling my books and buying the new ones at a cheap price and i was frankly really excited about it because all I get is a one day break to relax bcz i have to start studying for entrances from 21st so all I have is 20th and i wanted to spend it at college street and then get some food and basically have like a solo date kind of thing.
and i was so so excited about it i told my boyfriend about it like 500 times bcz i kept forgetting i've already mentioned it and it was literally on my mind a lott so i kept bringing it up and ik it seems like not a big deal cz i can just sit at home and chill too but i literally do not get to go outside my house. like- the last time i went out was new years eve and after that the only time i've gone out is to school or to give my boards that is it. my mother has some weird like problem wiht me going out like even if i tell her that i just want to go to our terrace for 5 minutes just to get some fresh air she won't even allow that she'll be all suspicious and like sTaNd In ThE bAlCOnY aNd TaKe FrEsH aIr like she herself doesnt leave the house (and blames it on me and my brother ???? when have we ever stopped you bro, she said I HaVe To Be HeRe To KeEp An EyE like im 18 i dont need to be watched 24/7 stop blaming me for choices you put upon yourself) and i just feel so suffocated ALL THE TIME i feel so overstimulated and im so sick of rotting on my bed and i dont want to wait for some birthday party or friends meet up to be able to leave my goddamn house i just wanted to go and have a fun day and get me some books thats it.
anyway so initially the plan was that my mom would go along but something came up so she wanted to postpone it to 21st and i didn't want to bcz i'd already be missing 3 days bcz of my boyfriends birthday, holi and my brothers birthday (all of which are important and i dont want to miss which makes me the villain apparently bcz i should "adjust" and cancel my "parties" instead of trying to stick to my plan bcz that makes me too demanding and selfish apparently) so i suggested that ukw why dont u go do ur thing which came up and i'll go to college street by myself...which is when the solo date idea came which i had really wanted all along but didnt bring up bcz i knew she'd say no but now there's a valid reason for me to go alone so like, its a pretty easy fix i can just go alone but noooo. First of all,
I've been to college street multiple times before so its not like its an unknown area to me
im going by metro which is quite safe
im going when there is stark daylight and i will return home much much before it gets dark and im literally 18
she never lets me go anywhere alone, not even take ubers alone if i want to get back from somewhere my bf has to come drop me everytime and then go backwards to his house which is so so so stupid and i never get to go out alone unless accompanied by family or by a male friend, so obv when i said i'll go to college street alone she refused to let that happen and started screaming about how 'if its so important to go on 20th bcz u dont want to miss a day of studying then cancel ur 'parties' and study then' and i was like no its not about missing a day its just that there's a very easy and logical fix to this problem which is i go alone and its not inconveniencing anyone so why cant i just do that but she will not listen to that bcz im 'adamant' and 'everything has to be according to me' bcz i found a viable solution to the problem. so instead of letting me just go she was literally ready to pay much more money and buy the books online, like.....why cant i just go bro??? (and she keeps telling me im a waste of her money bcz i will amount to nothing in life and my education was a failed investment or wtv so like now why are u wasting more money??? im literally trying to save the money that u 'waste' on me so just let me ???)
anyway i called my dad last night and told him and he was super ok with the idea he said its a good idea that i go alone and that he would speak to her but then today when i asked her if dad spoke to her she said yes, we'll go on 20th and i was like .....we? so apparently she CANCELLED her previously immovable thing for which she wanted me to cancel my 'parties', she cancelled that and agreed to go with me on 20th just so that i dont get to go alone- like ???????????????? what is ur problemmmm
so obv i was super annoyed and i went on a whole ass rant about how i literally struggle to even cross roads bcz i dont know shit about basic travelling bcz all my life ive been in a car and its a running joke with all my guy friends that i 'cannot navigate' and 'dont know any places' and obv??? if im never allowed to go anywhere then how tf will i know the places- the only places i know is bcz recently i've been paying a lot of attention and asking my dad stuff about what roads to take to reach certain places and when i go out with my friends i kind of try and learn a bit but thats it i've only ever gone alone completely alone to two places which is my beauty parlour thats 5 minutes away from my house and one bazaar one time that was 2 bus stops away, thats it. thats my extent of public travelling alone. and now im supposed to go to a whole new STATE for college and i cant even call myself an auto without struggling. and like- is this not a basic life skill??? like ok yeah its not rocket science and i will probably figure it out even if i start later in life but why not now? most of my guy friends literally go everywhere alone, why not me? and my dad agreed with all of this but my mom was just like "you'll be in the hostel only, no need to go out of the campus" like ARE YOU FOR REAL????????? and she's like "if u want to learn skills learn how to cook" like ok yes i will also learn how to cook for sure but i wont have a fucking kitchen in the hostel but somehow cooking is an urgent skill i should learn but going places by myself is unimportant bcz i should just never? leave? the? hostel?
anyway after much screaming and shouting my dad gave up and just cut the call bcz he doesnt want to get into an argument with my mother and my mother was being all suspicious like why do u hAvE tO gO aLoNe AlL oF a SuDdEn even though i literally explained why i want to do this alone but she doesnt think thats valid. so she refuses to let me go and i asked her for one reason why i shouldnt cz usuallt its always "no u have exam what if smthn happens" but now i literally dont even have exam so whats ur excuse now? streets will always be unsafe forever so "what if smthn happens" is not a reason to never let me go out without a man so just gimme one reason and she couldnt give me a single reason she just said "i said no, thats it".
and now she's gone off about how im useless and blah blah and "high maintainance" bcz i want books and "everyone else (some pishi's son) just studies online" and so the whole option of college street is apparently now cancelled and she's trying to set up a whole ass kindle account (half the books i need arent even available as ebooks) just because i wanted to go by myself.

Please read entire post before commenting!! Can anyone who’s seen the Percy Jackson episode today let me know how far into the book episode 4 covers? Please let me know by saying something like “episode 4 ends where chapter [whatever number] ends in the book” or something along those lines instead of telling me what exactly happens

I want to go to a dance party at the only gay bar in town tonight but I'm supposed to work.
I could easily call out, and I have plenty of sick time available. But with this being a smaller city that has only one gay bar, I'm much more likely to get caught and get written up for improper use of sick leave. Plus, my first job that I worked enough to actually have called out, the manager just wouldn't let me call out. Like, I'd try, and she'd just say no, I need you to come in anyway, and then yell at me for trying to call out when I know theres no one to cover for me. So, even though that was years ago and an entirely different job, I'm still really paranoid that I'm not going to be allowed to call out or that I'll get in trouble for it.

British publishers seem to have a strange habit of classifying nineteenth century French novels as children’s books (a nebulous category I know- children are often more than capable of reading so-called ‘adult’ books but I find it odd nonetheless).
Jules Verne is the first one that springs to mind, but the one that always confuses me is ‘The Three Musketeers’. Yes it’s got all the swashbuckling ingredients that make up a good boys’ own story, but I’m really not sure that it’s strictly a ‘children’s’ classic.
This brought to you by the fact that I’m trying to sort all my other Dumas books into order when I realised that the ‘Three Musketeers’ wasn’t among them, even though it’s part of a wider ‘series’, the other books of which are in my ‘adult’ books. But because my copy of ‘The Three Musketeers’ was part of a set of ‘children’s classics’, it’s languishing in a box somewhere, alongside The Railway Children and the Secret Garden (great books both, but very different in tone I think). I don’t want to break that set up but I also don’t see why the story of Milady de Winter is more child appropriate than the Count of Monte Cristo.

I was gonna post this yesterday for Homestuck day and completely forgot but fuck it I'm posting it now instead.
so there's this thing Lucy does that they've done so much for so long that the whole system does it automatically now, where they'll do things in multiples of 8, such as typing eight exclamation marks or whatever but also repeating actions that many times as part of our OCD, and even some of our old usernames have the number 8 in them, and we didn't think much of it until we started reading Homestuck and got to some parts with Vriska and they were like "oh hey I do things in multiples of eight too!"
and then while talking to some friends about this they explained that the reason we do this is because as a kid they got this zodiac sign bracelet and it came with a little card that had a lucky number and colour and whatnot on it and it said the lucky number was 8 and that stuck with us. the thing is that their zodiac sign is scorpio ♏.
so yeah... they were assigned Vriska kinnie by the universe I guess
