It's finally here!!!

Graphic design is my passion LMFAO but as i said i would do a while back,i've created a masterpost of all the Jason Todd content that's worth your time!This is rather long but he's existed since 1983 so!!

Base edit is my little sister @mayameanderings and tagging @coffeemilkcatz and @nanaonmars since they said yes when i asked if they wanted me to!Let's dive in then!

Batman 408-426,Detective comics 568-582,Superman annual 11,New Teen Titans 18-31,Blue Devil 19,Action comics 556 and 594,Batman Annuals 10-12 and Batman(The cult)for pre-reboot Robin!Jason my beloved

Nightwing Year One 101-106,New Teen Titans 55,Nightwing 10(1997)and Legends of the Dark Knight 100 for Dick and Jason siblinghood,Gotham Knights 34 for the short story of him and Alfred and Detective comics 790 for Bruce telling Cass about him as it takes place on Jason's birthday

Lost Days aka the Red Hood prologue

Under The Red Hood(2010)-The original comic is good in it's own right but the movie is leagues better written(Rare comic book adaption exception lmao)

Robin 177 and 182-183 for tha actual Tim and Jason beef instead of 'replacement' and 'enemy to caretaker' bs

Azreal:Death's Dark Knight 3(Can't give commentary on this one since i don't know Azreal like that,sorry)

Red Hood and The Outlaws(2016).Unlike the Utrh comic vs the Utrh movie,the original Rhato has nothing positive like the reboot

Not TECHNICALLY Jason BUT Duke is his favorite brother and Stephanie's the only Batfam girl he's truly close to so you should also stan them since he'd want you to /lh

Red Hood:Outlaw for the confirmation that Red Hood loves black women from infinity to infinityyyyy(meaning his love interest Dana Harlowe is introduced and featured as an mc in this run)

Urban Legends 1-6 for his return to the Batfam-Messy tbh but i do enjoy parts of it!

Task Force Z for him and Stephanie being a vigilante team and it has a prelude,that being Detective comics 1041-1043

Unkillables and Joker:The Man Who Stopped Laughing for Jayrose goodies and more of the above

Gotham War if you feel like turning off your brain to look at good art and laugh at dogshit writing

Red Hood:The Hill is his current run and when our queen Dana comes home from comics limbo!!!

The following is a misc list that's not required to include in your Jason knowledge but HIGHLY recommended you do just for fun!

Tiny Titans 23,29,33,39,45 and 47,Bombshells 46,60 and 62,Bombshells United 18-24,Lego Batman:Family Matters,A Death In The Family 2020,Batman:The Adventures Continue,Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 5-6,The Doom That Came to Gotham 2023 and The Teen Titans Go episode 'The Best Robin'(Pre-Reboot Robin Jason rights!!!).Also look up 'Nobody cares about Tim Drake' if you don't know what that is,you'll love it

Jason also appears in the Lego DC Super Villains games that i highly recommend as well especially because my girlfriend is a mega fan of it and i don't know much about Lego Batman 3:Beyond Gotham but please avoid the aformentioned original Rhato,Red Hood:Outlaws and the Gotham Knights game as they feature extremely problematic writing not limited to but including racialized misogyny and ableism and do disservice to Jason himself anyway so you wouldn't want to consume them to begin with if you want to like him.I have mixed feelings on the Arkham Knight and Injustice games series' but they are objectively fairly good so i wouldn't say no to giving them a shot to see if you like them

And for the finale we have Wayne Family Adventures-Definitely a good read but to be totally honest it does Duke DIRTY and it sucks so much of DC to have marketed as his series to not only not follow through at all and make it an ensemble cast instead but ALSO deprive him of his actual characterization and story to make him a demure weak black boy stereotype.I won't judge you at all for liking it if you decided to read it or have already but kindly keep this in mind and consider joining me and my mutuals in our rewrite of it to give our Signal of Hope and Chaos the writing he deserves or at least support us through likes and reblogs!Happy Jason readings and have a good day💕

As a poc who grew up in the middle east and have family in the middle east and have experienced know the impact of islamaphobia my take on m.c is definelity complicated. He should not have made the comments on the denial of genocide 100% and I'm glad he deleted those tweets hopefully because he understood it was wrong and not simply due to backlash. And I do believe that's the main part that he should be held accountable with

I do think misha has a emotional stake with family/ friends that are Jewish that probably has strong opinions and is also giving out information, working and helping with Ukraine, having the chance to talk to President of Ukraine abt the war, etc whilst Ukraine is still allies with Israel. I do see how that would have influenced his opinion on isreal and Palestine.

I think what's not stopping me from my support or whatever is in general I believe in the intentions and I just don't see the malicious intent. When reading his article it was very pro anti war and very attempted neutral on both parts, made sure to condemn only hammas and not the Palestinian ppl, humanising the Palestinian ppl. (Which is not special take but I do think when america talk abt middle east and war they usually talk about the humans (women are forced to wear hijab and have no rights! Which yea bs) and not talk specifically about the terrorist groups) so I do think that part was crucial and important. I also can appreciate that he replied to a person against islamaphobia in one of his replies. And in his substack which now has 106 comments the majority is in support of Palestine and there's links being shared about either genocide or more information that's currently happening in Palestine so for ppl looking to get informed there's links. So I do appreciate that the comments are not being filtered. And perhaps I am being too generous or looking at cup half full perspective but the positive part that I do see in this is that m.c main fanbase will also be other white fans who when going to look for his article they are being exposed to information.and is also learning if they haven't.

Idk like should he have written an article? No. But he has, and I'm glad he said this part

" Israel has a right to defend itself against terrorism, but when Israel does so by committing atrocities and war crimes of its own, then it defends itself without moral authority and only further entrenches both sides in an interminable conflict where there are no “good guys” and there will be no “winner.”  

Like again I'm glad when he's talking negatively about Palestine he specifically talks about hammas and in then in general terms isreal commiting war crimes. I just think it's important that for his fanbase that probably consists of white fanbase that is already been fed from the western media that it is important that it was neutral and humanisation of the Palestinian ppl

And again maybe because I have been in the spn fandom and have been exposed to gishwishes. Allowing them to pay medical bills, and other good things, his open support if the lgbt community I do have a soft spot and perhaps I'm looking at this in rose tinted glasses but i genuinely am not seeing the malicious or hateful intent when talking about the isreal/ Palestine that I see when others talk I.e piers Morgan etc . what I do condem is his comments on genocide and the denial of it so I'm glad those got deleted quick, hopefully because he understood that was just wrong. And he needs to address that. But yea in general I suppose the support is still there,

I read this as soon as I got it and thought, "I'll definitely answer it," so thank you, anon. I value your input on this.

First, you're totally entitled to your feelings and thoughts about him and his words. My intention is never to tell others how to react; I'm just very vocal about what I think.

I can understand your position. I'm not Muslim, and I'm not from the Middle East, but I'm a POC (basically half indigenous and half colonizer) in Latin America, and we, too, share a very dark history with imperialism from the USA and his son Israel but maybe it's a bit more invisible here.

That's why I'm so radical and unforgiving about privileged people's stances regarding colonization and genocide. To me it's not enough that he says he wants peace, that the bare minimum and the least we can expect from someone like him. I don't see how having family and friends who are Jewish is an impediment to understanding what is going on in Palestine when many Jewish people go out to the streets to claim they're 100% against occupation and don't support a Jewish Estate. Zionists want to make us believe they are the eternal victims, and Misha decided to go with that. In his statement he mentioned the Holocaust several times but he fails to see that Israel is doing the same to Palestinians right now. "Well, they have committed some war crimes, but it's not a real genocide like the Jewish one." Ugh, disgusting. There's no coming back from that in my opinion.

Like I've said, we as fans have given him the benefit of the doubt more than once, for both little and bigger things. Knowing his intentions are "good" isn't enough for me anymore. He's been in politics for decades; he's always doing political activism, so he's not particularly ignorant. He's not your average dumb American, and he has followers from all over the world. I expect(ed) a lot of him, because he put himself in that position from the start. I've been a fan for over a decade, and I even did gishwhes three years in a row, so yes, it's not easy to just say goodbye to all that overnight. But I'm being true to myself, and so I have to walk away.

Whatever path you follow on all this, whether it's the same as now or it changes, I send you my support, stay strong and you can write to me whenever you want <3

Wildest Dreams - Bucky Barnes x F!Reader

Warnings: Bucky and reader are horrible people in this, cheating, allusions to smut, angst, no happy endings, talks of morning after pill and birth control

A/n: ok so I had the idea for this year's ago and it was originally gonna be a Steve Rogers X Reader but I'm back on my Bucky BS so here this one came haha. Enjoy!

********

The soft sheets of the hotel suite covers my bare chest as I lay my head on his chest, using my fingers to draw random shapes, sundays like these were a once in a blue moon type of deal. 

    "We should drive out of here and never look back, away from all the crowds and hustle and bustle of the city" he says, drawing a finger down my spine, a shiver running up it. 

    I wanted to agree I truly did, but we needed to end this relationship. Heaven can't help me now, I needed to end it now before it got too complicated. He was married, we were just having fun, we were avengers for god's sake! We had to understand that nothing lasts forever.

    “You know why we can’t do that, you know we both agreed this was just sex,” I tell him wrapping my the sheet tighter around my chest and sitting up, “You told me this was no strings attached,” the crease begins to form between my eyebrows. 

    This is gonna hurt, I can already feel it, he's so tall, handsome especially for someone who is 106. He's so bad, he was my bad boy, he was the sun and I was icarus, I flew too close to the sun.

    "We have to end this, this is the last time we are sleeping together bucky, I can't take the heartache and your wife deserves better, she deserves a husband who will love her and only her," I quickly got dressed, I knew this would end in hellfire the moment it began. The longing looks during debriefs, the subtle touches. 

    "My last request before we part ways, say you'll remember me, staring at the sunset in Boca Raton, when we had that undercover mission, remember me standing in a nice dress, red lips and cheeks rosied from all the drinks we shared that night. Promise me you'll see me again, even if it's in our wildest dreams,"

*********

    Weeks after the flirting, we finally caved. I had booked a hotel room for a mission and now Bucky and I were just the two of us. Away from prying eyes. 

    "No one has to know what we do" I say against his lips as he takes a fist of my hair, kissing down my neck as I undo his belt buckle, the coolness of his vibranium arm slipping under my shirt, goosebumps spread across my skin like a wildfire.

    "But, I'm married and you've just become a member of the team," he says as he continues his assault on my neck. 

    "And you can stop and tell me to leave and I will, you don't have to continue this, we can stop and never speak of this again," I bargain, knowing that he doesn't want to stop, "someday when you leave me, I bet these memories will follow you around," I swallow thickly as he rips my white button up open the buttons flying everywhere. 

    "Then let's make memories worth remembering," he says before capturing my lips in his once more.

******

    That night begins the years long affair, sneaking out during training to fuck in the closets at the compound, late nights after successful missions, we were like rabbits trying to single handely repopulate our species, luckily for the both of us, condoms and birth control were always handy including the morning after pill. 

    We both knew it was wrong but did doing the wrong thing feel so good. 

After the first time we both agreed it would just be sex, nothing more than that even if it hurt once we both knew we were bluring the lines and falling in love. 

    "You'll see me in hindsight, you'll remember all of the times we would be tangled up in bedsheets, talking all night about what our future would be," I say while zipping up my jeans and walking towards the door, I lean down to pick up my shoes, I take one more look at the man I will be forever in love with but won't be able to call my own, "don't forget check out is at noon,"

20 questions for fic writers

Tagged by @marypsue, thank you!

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

106 so far!

2. What’s your total word count?

321,819, which is somehow both lower and higher than i expected.

3. What fandoms do you write for?

a whole lot; most recently Rise of the TMNT, my fandom on ao3 with the most works is Rise of the Guardians. lots of rises.

4. Top 5 fics by kudos

The Gravity Falls trans dipper one-shot, the FMA Ishvalan!Elrics AU, an into the spiderverse fic, raven cycle pov outsider, and a star wars force awakens one-shot. i give all my fics long song lyric titles so that's all the info yall are getting lmao.

5. Do you respond to comments?

I always start out trying to respond to everything when i post a new fic, but then i get overwhelmed pretty quick. lo siento mucho.

6. What’s the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

I don't usually go for angsty endings tbh! I like a lot of angst in the middle, or i go for kind of bittersweet endings.

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

probably that star wars one; force awakens had just come out and i was one of many kylo ren woobifiers who wanted him to have accepted han's invite to come home.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

The most hate i've gotten is on a Different star wars fic where i made Luke trans and some people were Not happy. luckily, i have a permit (i can do what I want).

9. Do you write smut?

yeah lol. i don't post a lot of it though; most of the time i just share it with my discord friends.

10. Do you write crossovers?

all the time all the time babey.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

yes i've been notified 2 or 3 times that someone copied my stuff onto wattpad or ffnet. i usually go report them but don't care enough to follow up.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

I don't think so? not that I can remember. I've had one or two podficced though iirc.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

nnnnot a finished one. my friends and i do a lot of half fic writing and half rp that usually doesn't turn into a polished product (but it's still fun <3).

14. What’s your all-time favorite ship?

ALL TIME FAVORITE FLYNN AND LUCY TIMELESS. i've never written fic for them and the show isn't even GOOD but god the way they look like "she fixed him" bs on the surface but really they're each so perfect to make up for the other's shortcomings. also i always wanted so badly for someone to tell her to get her dog on a leash <3

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you will?

ahaha,,,, the good omens roleswap fic is burning a hole in my document folder. i have an outline i just have no inspiration/motivation :(

16. What are your writing strengths?

characterization; particularly I've gotten the feedback that i'm good at writing characters in different circumstances from canon while keeping their personalities both Intact and Logically Justifiable.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

ending things, both in the sense that i start a lot of stuff and don't finish it, and the sense that i usually have too many ideas and don't know how/where to cut off a plot.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language?

google translate always does me dirty so now i usually just write the dialogue in english and use a dialogue tag like "she said in *insert language*"

19. First fandom you wrote for?

iiiiii think it was Rise of the Guardians! before that i mostly did over-dramatic RP on the cricket magazine forums where i had characters like a half-dragon bounty hunter.

20. Favorite fic you’ve ever written?

probably the ishvalan elrics fic! fma is already full of a lot of meaty concepts, and it was fun re-conceptualizing the canon plot and character beats while keeping the arching plot intact. stuff like that is like a puzzle to me, it's very satisfying when i finish one and it gets positive feedback!

tagging anyone who wants to do it, because im. so sleepy rn

Gravity Falls Dipper and Stan's Relationship Throughout the Series

Happy ten year anniversary to Gravity Falls!

Years ago when season one was airing, I started an analysis titled "Dipper looks up to Stan and wants his approval" that I, of course, never finished. So I decided on the ten year anniversary of Gravity Falls that I would type it up and finish it, now with the context of the entire series. I wanted to give the series a rewatch and watch the episode commentary...but I waited until the last minute and then had a family emergency sooooo I'm doing this from memory and some fast forwarding through episodes that I needed a refresher for! I thank the people who gave me their list of Stan and Dipper focused moments for me to rewatch! Anyway.... Stan and Dipper’s dynamic has three major points throughout the series, separated by season one, season 2A, and season 2B, with a bit of "transition time" between each of them. I will talk about each of these, the specific relevant episodes, and how they all connect.

Season 1: Dipper Looks up to Stan and Wants his Approval

Going off my original idea from when we only had season 1 to go off of, Dipper and Stan's dynamic starts with Dipper looking up to Stan and wanting his approval. Now you might be tempted to argue, siting that Dipper never approved of Stan's crimes, seemed suspicious of him, and generally at this point in the series saw Stan as a weird relative he and Mabel were forced to stay with rather than any kind of role model. There is some truth to that, however there's one thing about Stan that Dipper often wishes he was: a "manly man." It's not secret that Dipper is self conscious about his masculinity. Heck there's an entire episode dedicated to it which I'll talk about in a minute. Dipper's definition of masculinity is to be strong, tough, muscular etc. Dipper is not any of these things, hence his insecurities. Stan, on the hand, is exactly all those things. Stan is Dipper's exact definition of a man, so while Dipper might not approve of a lot of Stan's actions or many of this other qualities, he does respect Stan's "masculine" traits. So if this old geezer sees Dipper has a man, then Dipper must be one, right?

Episode 106, Dipper vs Manliness

This episode starts with Stan and Mabel making fun of Dipper because he's not particularly manly. He's yet to hit puberty, his music tastes lean more to the feminine side, and he fails the "manliness tester" in the diner. Dipper runs off, upset, into the woods and meets one of the manataurs (totally guessing on spelling there...) who encourages him to talk about his "emotional issues." The first thing out of Dipper's mouth is "My own uncle called me a wimp--" He doesn't vent about Mabel, who was also teasing him (though you could chalk this up to them being siblings and him therefore not caring about her teasing, or even the fact that a 12 year old girl probably isn't going to have a great understanding of what it means to be a man.) When Dipper refuses to kill the multi-bear and gives a big speech to the manataurs about how he basically thinks they're all full of BS, he says it was extreme confidence. He knows he's in the right. However a scene later he's seen walking through town looking sad. This sad feeling doesn't go away for Dipper until he talks to Stan. Stan says "You were your own man and you stood up for yourself...you did what was right even though no one agreed with you. Sounds pretty manly to me." And Dipper's mood immediately shifts to being happy.

Episode 110 Fight Fighters

Robbie, being the totally mature teenage he is, picks a fight with Dipper. Since Dipper is 12, half Robbie's size and has "noodle arms," he's understandable scared. During his panic attack, Stan tells him "Look kid, you got yourself a choice here. You can either go face him like a man, or hide indoors like a wimp? What'll it be?" and of course we know that Dipper chose to hide like a wimp, however, it always struck me as odd where he choose to hide--The arcade. A public place. (A public place Robbie has seen him hanging out, but that's besides the point here, just really dumb thinking on Dipper's part) There's not much reason for Dipper to have left the Mystery Shack. He could have stayed in his room. Sure Robbie would know exactly where to find him, but Robbie can't legally trespass into the house. Maybe there's an argument to be made about how Stan would have handled a teenager waiting outside, wanting to come in to fight his nephew, but I think more so what's going on here is that Dipper is avoiding Stan. He's not just hiding from Robbie, he's hiding from his uncle too. He doesn't want Stan to know he chose to be a wimp. This is supported later, when Dipper brings Rumble into the Shack, hears a door open and tells Rumble "uh oh, I think I hear my uncle, stay perfectly still." implying that he doesn't want Stan to know that he brought to life a body guard for his fight.

Episode 114 Bottomless Pit!

I just want to bring up one little moment from Dipper's story, Voice Over. After Dipper gets his voiced changed by one of Mcgucket's concoctions, Mabel and Soos both hate his new voice. Dipper angerly storms off saying "I'll find Stan! He'll like my new voice! You'll see!" Fairly self explanatory.

Episode 116 Carpet Diem

This episode is sort of the inciting incident that will eventually lead to Dipper and Stan's first dynamic shift. Dipper and Mabel accidentally switch bodies while in a competition to butter up Stan to give them a newly discovered room in the Mystery Shack. At one point, Stan pulls "Dipper" aside for "the talk" (a moment of silence for Mabel's innocence.) Afterwards Stan tells "Dipper" that he found him "more likeable than usual." Stan throws in that he might change his mind and give the room to Dipper instead of Mabel. Mabel panics when she hears this and decides to tell him off in hopes of making him mad at Dipper and giving her the room instead. Once she's done, Stan says "Finally standing up to me huh? HA! I love it! I've made my decision! The room is yours, Dipper!" We find out a few episodes later that Stan is hard on Dipper because he's trying to "toughen him up." This entire scene is a reflection of that, "Dipper" stood up to him, which made Stan proud so he decided to reward Dipper for it. The thing is, that wasn't Dipper, it was Mabel. And Mabel didn't tell Dipper why Stan gave him the room, there wasn't really a reason to. So now we are in an interesting position where Stan has just rewarded Dipper for standing up to him in hopes of encouraging that behavior further, meanwhile Dipper has no idea that that's what Stan wants from him and therefore has no reason to change his behavior. I believe that this is what lead to the events in Dreamscaperers. Stan, now believing that Dipper can stand up for himself, was trying to get Dipper to man up again, but we'll cover that more when we get to it.

Episode 117 Boyz Crazy

So there's not much to offer here in terms of Dipper looking up to Stan and wanting his approval. There are moments we could dissect in that regard, but I think this episode is more important for Dipper and Stan's relationship in that it shows us what their relationship could be when they are on equal footing. They are a great team that get along great when they are in a position where they understand each other. It also works really well to show the audience that Stan really does care about Dipper, despite his gruff exterior. This narratively is helpful for Dreamscaperers, because Dipper spends the episode believing that Stan hates him, and has his suspicions "confirmed" by one of Stan's memories, but the audience, on some level, knows that despite that memory, it can't be true. Stan wouldn't have been as supportive of Dipper in Boyz Crazy if he didn't care. He wouldn't have offered Dipper to go bowling with him if he hated Dipper. Stan is not the kind of person to pretend to like another person, no matter who it is.

Episode 119 Dreamscaperers

Remember in Carpet Diem when Stan rewarded "Dipper" for standing up for himself and telling Stan off? And how Dipper wouldn't have known to change his behavior because it wasn't actually him? Well this is where all of that builds up. Stan has been expecting Dipper to stand up for himself and tell him off more, but he hasn't done it. He's acting just as wimpy as before, like it was a fluke, like it didn't even happen. Stan now believes he's seen Dipper not be a wimp, so he knows he can do it, he's just choosing not to. So Stan's best bet to bring that back out of Dipper is to be harder on him, make him mad, make him want to tell him off. This leads to the conflict of the episode, because Dipper doesn't understand why Stan is doing this, he simply thinks Stan hates him. While walking through Stan's mind, looking for a memory that tells Dipper what Stan thinks about him, Dipper finds a memory of Stan telling Soos "I just wanna get rid of him." Dipper hangs his head, and shuts the door, and stands there for a second. The shot stays just long enough for you to know just how much this hurt Dipper. (Thirty bucks says he cried) Thankfully Dipper later stumbles on the memory again and watches the whole memory and learns that Stan doesn't hate him, simply wants him to "fight back" and is hard on him to teach him that. Now that Dipper knows, he changes his behavior and starts fighting back. Yes with Bill and later with a choke hold on Stan in this episode, but also in the following two episodes

Season 1 Finale and Season 2 Premiere: First Transition Time

Now that Dipper understands that Stan wants him to fight back, he starts doing so, but in the two episodes that follow, Dipper is fighting back in a way Stan doesn't necessarily want him to. This is more so the case with Scary-oke but let's look at Gideon Rises real quick first

Episode 120 Gideon Rises

This episode has Dipper and Stan's roles somewhat switched. Stan is quitting (like a wimp but also in a "responsible adult" kind of way) and Dipper is ready to fight back. I've also seen people point out that how Stan and Dipper solve their problems in this episode are switched, Stan uses his brains like Dipper normally would have, and Dipper uses his brawn like Stan normally would have. Dipper's actions are likely being subconsciously influenced by Stan throughout this episode. After Gideon discovers that Dipper has had journal 3 all along, and states that Dipper only won all those times because of the journal, Dipper practically gives up, believing Gideon to be right. Dipper is giving up trying to stop Gideon much like Stan gave up trying to stop the pint-sized brat. Stan's current actions are likely aiding in Dipper's mindset here, but on the other hand, Stan's influence throughout the series up to this point is likely part of the reason Dipper was so determined to stop Gideon right after Stan had given up, and why Dipper worked up enough bravery to attack the Gideon bot to save Mabel.

Episode 201 Scary-oke

This is when Stan's "toughening up" of Dipper bites him in the butt. We didn't at the time the episode aired, but we know now how much Stan cared for Ford, how he saw his brother get lost, literally and metaphorically, to the supernatural, and how alike Dipper and Ford are. We also learn in this episode that Stan had been lying to the kids about the supernatural in an attempt to keep them away from it. Stan doesn't want Dipper and Mabel going out seeking all the weirdness in the town. He doesn't want to lose them like he lost Ford. He probably doesn't have to worry too much about Mabel in this regard, but Dipper is as stubborn as Stan and as curious as Ford. Dipper is an easy target to get lost in the mysteries. So Stan continues to deny the magic. But now Dipper has learned to fight back, and there's been too much obvious stuff that's happened for him to simply brush off Stan's ignorance. Now Dipper is actively fighting against Stan's wishes. Consider their argument in Stan's room after he catches Dipper calling the government agents. If that conversation had been about anything else, Stan probably would have found the entire interaction funny because Dipper was all worked up, and would have left the conversation with a sense of pride because Dipper isn't taking any BS. However because of what the argument was about, Stan's now in a situation where Dipper is fighting to go after the very thing Stan doesn't want him anywhere near, not to mention risking Stan's entire mission to get Ford back. So the argument escalates into Dipper getting grounded, Dipper leaving annoyed, and Stan letting out a frustrated sigh. The episode ends with Stan admitting to knowing about the towns supernatural happenings, and Stan wanting the kids, mostly Dipper, to promise not to go seeking out the weirdness. Dipper makes Stan swear that he doesn't have anymore secrets, and they agree with their fingers each crossed. Personally, I'm a little bummed that this scene never came back in the form of another argument between them, but I think it does a little something to show where their relationship goes after this.

Season 2A Dipper and Stan on Equal Footing

Dipper is no longer trying to impress Stan or is seeking his approval, more often than not Dipper simply speaks his mind to Stan in a blunt manner, just like how Stan has always talked to...well everyone, but Dipper for the purpose of this analysis. They still care about each other, but they have a new respect for each other now and it shows off in them being able to say whatever they want with each other. Scary-oke somewhat symbolized this by having them both confidently lie. One isn't lying while the other is telling the truth, one isn't feeling more guilty about their lie than the other. Not the healthiest symbolism, but I think it works. Most of the moments that support this are just that: mere moments. But they are mere moments that say a lot about where their relationship is at.

Episode 203 The Golf War

When Stan offers some "Stan-cakes" for breakfast and describes what Stan-cakes are, Dipper says, without hesitation or remorse, "Pass!" When Pacifica shows up at the mini golf course and goes all Regina George on the Pines family, Stan talks about punching her, but Dipper tells him he'll handle the situation, and Stan let's him without a second thought.

Episode 206 Little Gift Shop of Horrors

Believe it or not, but this "not canon" episode actually has a lot to help us see where Dipper and Stan's relationship is at. More specifically, this episode shows us how Stan's sees Dipper at this point in the series. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but my interpretation of this episode being "not canon" was that the stories Stan told were completely made up, but the idea of Stan telling a customer those stories to get the customer to buy stuff was canon. That interpretation is key to this analysis. One of my English teachers always told us "The key to a great story is that same as a key to a great lie: It needs to be 95% true. If the story is mostly true, it'll make that last 5% believable." Gravity Falls itself is a great example of this. Gravity Falls itself doesn't exist, but it was based off of real locations, the characters in the show were based off of real people, embarrassing moments for said characters were inspired by real life embarrassing events from the cast, etc. And we all know that Stan is a great liar, so likely his story telling has a bit of truth to it that we can dissect. Since Dipper is in the stories, we can assume that this is how Stan expects Dipper to act in theses types of scenarios.

Hands Off!

Dipper puts on some glasses and exclaims "Professor glasses! They make me look like a genius!" and it shows that Stan knows how much Dipper values his intelligence, or even perceived intelligence, and implies that Stan sees Ford in Dipper given that the glasses Dipper tries on look somewhat similar to Ford's. After Stan steals the watch from the hand witch, Dipper scolds him, showing us that Stan expects Dipper to speak his mind, particularly regarding things that Dipper doesn't approve of or thinks is a stupid idea. It's also interesting when you consider that since Stan is the one telling this story, he likely had some mental idea of where the story was headed, that in the story, he'd be in the wrong and Dipper would have been right. This implies that Stan also thinks Dipper is smarter than he is and/or respects his perspectives (neither of those are worded right to describe what I'm thinking but I think you can decipher what I meant). This continues when after the kids discover Stan's hands are gone, Dipper is the one in the story to tell Stan what he needs to do. Dipper tells Stan what to do much like a parent would tell a child what to do in this situation to make things right and get his hands back. When the hands attack in the Hand-Witch's cave (these sentences are slowly sounding more and more crazy), Stan and Mabel run away from the hands, but Dipper's instinct is to fight back. Dipper is now at a point where Stan assumes that he'll fight back when in trouble, even when Stan doesn't, which sort of calls back to Gideon Rises.

Abaconings

Again we see Dipper striving to prove his smarts, and getting insulted at the notion that he might not be smart enough to solve his new puzzle. I feel like this one, even more so than Dipper wearing "professor glasses" shows that Stan sees Ford in Dipper. We also note that Dipper quickly gets carried away with Waddles and their now shared pursuit of knowledge, implying that Stan believes Dipper will keep pursuing knowledge until he can't anymore (like his pig partner deciding to be dumb again), even if it means upsetting others in the process (like say, failing to notice that he's getting in the way of Mabel being able to spend time with Waddles). There's also a brief moment when Mabel tells Waddles how sad she is that he's not hanging out with her anymore, where Dipper looks sad/sympathetic that Mabel is upset, which shows us that Stan knows how much Dipper does care about Mabel. Which we see even more of in Clay Day.

Clay Day

Not a whole lot here IMO, mostly Dipper being a caring brother, so likely this is Stan projecting his relationship with Ford onto the kids.

Episode 211 Not What He Seems

Much like how Carpet Diem was the inciting incident for Dipper and Stan's first dynamic switch, Not What He Seems is the inciting incident for the next shift. The past few episodes Stan and Dipper's relationship is the best it's been, they can get along and poke fun at each other and over all just be themselves around one another. Moments before getting arrested, Stan attempts to explain to the kids what's been going on, and decides to put it off because he knows it's going to change things. When Stan gets arrested, he claims he was restocking the gift shop as his alibi. Both Dipper and Mabel believe him, no questions asked. They immediately put a plan in place to prove Stan's innocents when Trigger says something that makes Dipper question his uncle for a brief moment, "I've seen it all before, false names, double lives, one minute they're playing with water balloons, the next, they're building doomsday devises. Your uncle scammed the whole world, you gonna let him scam you too?" This comment shakes Dipper up a bit, but he brushes it off and tells Trigger he doesn't know what he's talking about. Dipper's trust in Stan has been questioned, but it's not gone yet. Stan and Dipper specifically have come too far for that to be true, right? No way the man who was hard on him to toughen up, and who he now can get along with easily, is some kind of super villain right? Dipper can still trust him right? Until Dipper sees the other two journals in the secret lab. Dipper has now seen Stan's fake IDs, the newspaper clipping that Stan Pines is dead, this mysterious lab under the house, and now it's clear that Stan has had the other two journals. The prequels to the very journal that Stan claimed was fantasy in Gideon Rises, the prequels to the journals that Stan made Dipper promise to only use for self defense and not to go looking for trouble. "Was anything he said to us real?!" Now Dipper has lost pretty much all his trust in Stan, he suggests that Stan stole the journals, that Stan is a master criminal and he's trying to destroy the world. However, you can tell that there's still the tiniest bit of trust left in Dipper, as when Stan bursts in and tells Dipper to back away from the machine, Dipper doesn't, but he also still does not press the button. If Dipper really 100% didn't trust Stan right now, then he would have pressed the button and stopped the machine right then and there. Dipper knows there's no logical reason to trust Stan, he says it himself "I should trust you why? After you stole radio active waste? After you lied to us all summer?" but he still doesn't immediately press the button. He still waits just long enough that Stan could have started to explain himself (which like maybe you should have done that Stan!). In many ways the portal scene calls back to Scary-oke, Dipper is fighting back, just like Stan originally wanted for him, but he's fighting against Stan's goals.

Start of Season 2B: Second Transition Time

This transition time exists because the introduction of Ford changes Stan and Dipper’s dynamic, but said change hasn’t fully come into play yet. Stan and Dipper are still on equal footing but changes are coming soon.

Episode 212 A Tale of Two Stans

On Dipper's side of things, once he learns why Stan did all that he did, he apologizes to him for not believing him. There are absolutely no hard feelings on Dipper's end towards Stan. Dipper also later tells Mabel that he doesn't know if having "the author" back is good or bad, showing Dipper acknowledges that things are going to change. Meanwhile for Stan, he's not upset that Dipper didn't believe him, he even says that he wouldn't have believed himself either. He later tells Ford to stay away from Dipper and Mabel because "I don't want them in any danger, because as far as I'm concerned, they're the only family I have left!" A statement that takes us nicely into Stan's mindset in the next episode

Episode 213 Dungeons Dungeons and More Dungeons

This episode starts with Dipper being awestruck by Ford and Stan telling Dipper that Ford is dangerous and to stay away from him. Stan doesn’t want to loose either of the kids to Ford, so he’s taking precautions to keep them, specifically Dipper who’s been unknowingly idolizing him all summer, away from his brother. Stan then pretty much continues as normal, including in how he behaves around Dipper. When Dipper wants to play dd&md and Stan doesn’t see the appeal, he teases Dipper, or more specifically the game, like he normally would. The episode ends, however, with Stan apologizing (which lets face it is strange for Stan. It’s not strange for Stan to be sorry, but usually he says sorry with actions not words) and telling Dipper the game is too nerdy for him, but if Dipper wants to play it with Ford that’s okay. It’s not fair for Stan to keep Dipper from Ford, who shares his interests, just because Stan and Ford aren’t getting along. Stan and Mabel don’t share Dipper’s interests, and there’s not much to suggest that Dipper is in any danger by spending time with Ford. So, Stan let’s Dipper hang out with Ford, but this changes things at least on Stan's end. Everyone has always liked Ford better than Stan, and now Dipper, who his relationship with has come a long way, is gravitating towards Ford as well.

Season 2B: Stan Wants Dipper’s Approval

For this final shift in their dynamic, I don't think the shift is on Dipper's end at all. I think Dipper feels the relationship he has with his grunkle Stan is exactly the same, it's just that now he also has a good relationship with his grunkle Ford as well. But for Stan, things are different. Bonding with Dipper has never been easy for Stan, but of course Ford can bond with Dipper easily. Between Stan's inferiority complex when compared to Ford, Stan's need to not lose his connection with the kids, and Dipper's growing bond with Ford, Stan starts trying to be an impressive uncle to both kids, but especially to Dipper.

Episode 214 Stanchurian Candidate

I’ve been trying to avoid episodes and moments that focus on Stan’s relationship with both of the kids, because their dynamic as a family is different than their dynamics individually. So I wanted focus solely on Stan and Dipper moments/ episodes. However I have to make and exception for this episode. This episode is focused on Stan's relationship with both of the kids, but I'm going to use it as a Dipper and Stan focused example for a few reasons: 1. What happens in this episode just works too well with the thesis I have going here 2. Of the few episodes left in the series, Stan is only playing a significant role in like half of them, and one of those is the finale, and other is Dipper and Mabel Vs The Future where he's spending more time with Mabel than Dipper, 3. the arc of Stan and Dipper's relationship is pretty much wrapped up in Roadside Attraction anyway, to make room for other awesome things in the finale. With that said, let's look at this episode in terms of Stan and Dipper's dynamic. Stan's inferiority when compared to Ford is very apparent in this episode, and is made worse by his family, including Soos, being very impressed with Ford, who is clearly not trying to out stage Stan in any way. Stan spends the episode trying to impress everybody, but especially Dipper and Mabel, and other reason I want to use this episode to focus on Stan and Dipper's relationship is because the consequences of Stan not being an impressive relative are bigger, in Stan's mind, with Dipper than they are with Mabel. At the end of the day, Mabel is Mabel, she loves everyone. You have to really screw up for Mabel to not like you, there is little Stan could do at this point to emotionally lose Mabel. Dipper, however, will hold grudges and gravitate towards people he feels more comfortable with, has a better connection with, or is impressed by. Mabel has been easy to bond with, Dipper has not. While this episode focuses on both Dipper and Mabel, it's Dipper who makes most of the comments that set Stan off: "It's too bad Ford isn't here, he'd run, and win too!" "We'd respect you if you took things more seriously" and letting it slip that they've been mind controlling him (although that one there's some other obvious reason Stan should be upset that the episode just kinda glosses over so I will too I guess...) Stan is so focused on trying to impress the kids, to be their hero, that he refuses to accept their help. Wouldn't it be more impressive if he could do this on his own with ease? And you can see how much it means to him when he gets upset that they don't show him "respect" (more like adoration) like the rest of the town. Like I said above, I don't think Dipper changes his behavior at all for this part in their relationship. Since Dipper has learned to "fight back," he's been very blunt with Stan when he doesn't agree with him, and we can see that shining through here. When Mabel tries to nicely state that their reluctance to have Stan run isn't because they don't think they can do it, Dipper interrupts her, tells her it's okay and bluntly says to Stan "We don't think you can do it." When Stan saves the kids and is pulling them up, Stan apologizes, Mabel apologizes and says they should have supported him, win or lose, and Dipper simply chimes in "Probably lose" while he's still dangling over a cliff and, as Stan points out, could still be dropped by Stan. Another interesting detail on Dipper's end, when it's announced that Stan didn't win, Stan and Mabel look shocked, but Dipper looks angry.

Episode 216 Roadside Attraction

This episode’s placements always struck everyone as odd. There is no acknowledgement of all the craziness that went down last episode, or the craziness that’s about to go down next episode. There’s no mention of the rift, the force field they just built around the Shack and no sightings or mention of Ford. It’s like a season 2A episode that got plopped in a very strange point in season 2B. Because of this, I’ve been many write this episode off as pointless, and I have to respectfully disagree. Sure, it doesn’t do much for our main plot and all the crap that’s about to go down, but it’s a very important episode for Stan and Dipper’s relationship. This episode wraps up their arc. They do have a bit of conflict in the finale, but the root of that conflict has more to do with Stan and Ford than Stan and Dipper. As much as having Ford in more episodes would have been nice, it’s actually very important that he’s not in this episode, or at least not playing active role in the episode. Stan has spent this half of season 2 feeling overshadowed by his brother, and having Dipper choose to spend more time with Ford than Stan. Ford was able to get a closer relationship to Dipper in one afternoon than Stan could over the course of the summer. Not having Ford in the episode is important because it gives Dipper and Stan an opportunity to bond without Ford’s influence. It gives these two a chance to bond like they could in season 2A. Upon seeing Dipper struggle with girls, Stan decides to give him some advice. Stan reveals later that he's by no means an expert when it comes to getting girls, however, it's probably safe to say he's better at it than Ford, who isn't even there. This is the perfect opportunity for Stan to be an impressive grunkle to Dipper, he can give him girl advice. When Dipper vents that he messed up his chances with Wendy, Stan makes a very casual comment "Yeah...chances..." which is important because he's holding back. Normally he would have made a comment like that with confidence and laughed, but he holds, back, looking like he doesn't want to hurt Dipper's feelings with that comment. It's a huge difference from season 1 Stan, because this Stan isn't trying to toughen Dipper up, he's desperately trying to keep his connection with him. Much like in Boyz Crazy, this episode shows us what Stan and Dipper's relationship can be when they are on the same side, when they are supporting the other with their problems ... I guess the best way for these two to bond is with girls because that's the common factor in these two episodes XD At the end, after Dipper has hurt Candy's feelings and Stan has barely escaped being eaten, Stan confesses to Dipper that he's not an expert on women, and gives him a warning about being a pick up artist. He states that when it comes to women he's a failure. Dipper smiles, points to his arms where he's rubbed off the girls' contact info and says sympathetically "Hey, we're both failures." The smile Stan gives Dipper back is the sweetest damn thing. This was one area where Stan thought he could help Dipper, Dipper will go to Ford for any other topic, but this was something Stan had a chance to help Dipper with and failed--and Dipper doesn't care. He's upset about what happened, but doesn't blame Stan, he still sees Stan as an equal, they are both failures. If Dipper won't hold a grudge at Stan over this, Stan probably doesn't have to worry about losing Dipper to Ford. Dipper then even acknowledges that Stan's advice did help with his confidence.

Conclusion

Dipper and Stan don't connect with each other very easily. They have very different interests, personalities, perspectives and sometimes even values. It's much harder for these two to bond with each other than it is for Stan to bond with Mabel or for Dipper to bond with Ford. But they still care about and respect each other. They look up to each other, want the other's respect, and have no problems being blunt with each other. Stan has helped Dipper be tougher and more confident and Dipper has helped Stan feel less alone in the world. Dipper certainly has a strong bond with Ford, and Mabel has a strong bond with Stan, but because of Stan and Dipper's very different personalities, they have a bond they had to work to create, and it's one that I don't think either of them could have with the rest of their family.

Feel free to add more moments or thoughts and I thank everyone who made it to the end of this!!!

sam! i got jake side seats for my home show (which also happens to be their home show)!!!! but i was wanting pit but i’ll take what i can get with this ticketmaster bs. how are you doing with tickets? ticketmaster is being such a pain ik so many people are having issues:/ i’m row 20 section 106 so i’m a bit far back but everything that was closer was platinum and over $200 for one ticket before fees so… i wish you all the luck for whatever tickets you want!!

-🍑

Thank you Peachy!

I was actually able to list my Jake side seat tickets for D.C this afternoon. So maybe it was a glitch on the site? I hope to sell them pretty fast. I was able to secure two PIT tickets for a reasonable price.

I’m just overall frustrated with this entire week and how it kind of screwed over a lot of loyal fans. But there are some good feelings aside from that.

I’m so stoked to get PIT for the first time! It’s gonna be amazing 😭

Okay but marichat is so awesome (not cuz of the fake "true selves" bs that half the fandom believes in) cuz adrien and marinette are already huge chaotic messes, but as as marichat, it increases sm like they are just those unlikely friends who joke together and do dumb stuff and fall down and laugh at themselves and judge random people on the street and whenever someone tells them "awe you guys are so cute together" they just look at each other and burst out laughing until one night they are just venting to each other and they just go "wait... maybe I do like them"

It's just idiots to lovers and I love em so much YOU DONT UNDERSTAND

Alya, teaching marinette how to drive: okay so you're driving and you see chloe and sabrina on the road. Quick, which do you hit?

Marinette: oh without question, chloe

Alya, rubbing her temples: the brakes, marinette, YOU HIT THE BRAKES

"Abortion is killing babies" no. It's not. It's not so simple. The argument doesn't end there. People's lives are at stake. Some of those pregnant people were r*ped. Some of them struggle to afford daily food. Some of them have mental health issues. Some of them are alone. Some of them are kids. Some of them cannot give birth safely. Some of them are in life risking situations where they can get abused if someone else finds out they are pregnant. Some of them just don't want kids and know that they cannot be good parents to them because they are not ready.

It's not about "you didn't have protected sex, so you must now suffer the consequences". Because one action should not determine the rest of their life. They deserve to be happy. They deserve to have a life.

They do not deserve to get punished for one small mistake. The kids they forcefully gave birth to do not deserve to suffer the consequences.

They all deserve to live a life they can be content with, and you, a stranger who will never know them, should not control them or their lives.
