No Idea What Rosenrot Is But I 100% Feel Your Frustrations Regarding Community Engagement.

Ok so definitely this type of thing regarding the show has been talked about before I don’t doubt BUT I still wanna put in my two cents regarding it so let’s get this going.

So Bob’s Burgers. Great show, adult cartoons done right (once they got their footing since I believe their early seasons felt more Family Guy/Simpsons which considering it was coming out a little late to the game so I assume it believed it needed to be like them but thankfully they’ve grown more confident not saying early seasons are bad their still hilarious ANYWAY OFF TRACK-)

And I really love their character cast. Bob, Linda, Teddy, and of course the Belcher kids (Gene is my favorite but not the topic of discussion).

The two I wanted to point out were Tina and Louise and an interesting thing I noticed regarding the two.

Not so much their relationship (though that itself is would be fun to dissect) but the way they seem to be on complete opposite sides of femininity.

Now to be clear I don’t think anyone, fictional or real, should need to abide by gender norms, but with how engrained it is societally, it’s hard to ignore, especially in television.

Regarding the two girls, Tina seems to be what I think most people would assume a thirteen year old girl would be into at that age. Horses, boys, writing, boys, girlscouts, did I mention boys? (though I feel her level for boys kinda goes a step further which we will get into).

I’m no historical expert in regards to feminine normalities, being a male myself, but I wouldn’t be pressed to see advertising primarily push horses, dolls, and boy crushing onto girls at a young age, which Tina seems to enjoy, and that itself is fine of course, no harm done.

Now all of that?

Throw it out the window for Louise because this girl is here to bring gender norms to the back ally and murder it with a bat.

Louise LOVES fire, knives, basically anything remotely adventurous, risky, or dangerous. Literally she wanted to go out in a hurricane storm in hopes to have some fun (and did! But it was boring so they went home). When she got a crush on a Boy band member? She went through a ton of effort to meet them, all to just fucking bitch slap the guy.

She also knows how to lock pick and is a creature of chaos.

She technically does have dolls, but all of them are alien like creatures and her favorite, Kuchi Kopi, is a Japanese figure (which would be less weird if it weren’t for her being in America).

All of these things, plus more, make her very not feminine and I love her for it. Literally her gender in this case doesn’t define her, it’s her personality.

This isn’t to say she can’t or doesn’t like predominantly female things, but the ratio def leans toward more neutral or masculine things throughout the shows time on air.

And it stands out even more when we have Tina, who immerses herself in it, to compare to Louise, who barely even interacts with it.

The reason I enjoy this is because it’s such a simple way to easily ignore gender norms by having two characters, siblings mind you, be on completely different sides of the idea (And Gene is just Gene, he is his own norm).

I’d pull out episode specific examples but what I’m doing right now doesn’t allow me that kind of time but I assure you dear reader that if you just read this cause you were bored and don’t know a lick of this show that just watching a Louise-centric and then Tina-centric episode you will see my point (hell even when they aren’t the focus you could probably see it).

Also even though Tina does fit into the more feminine side she isn’t completely locked to it either. Her love for boys would be seen as kinda obsessive (which let’s be honest if gender swapped would not be nearly as loved from the internet), and she’s willing to help her siblings in their own things of interest (though not without giving her own concerns).

Anyway please watch Bob’s Burgers it’s a great series ok BYEEEE

So peak

Motel bound

A Gravity Falls x Bobs Burgers crossover au idea.

The Belchers are on a road trip and currently driving through Oregon. The trip has been okay so far, Tina hasn't puked more than once and to Louise's delight they've stopped at some of the locations she's recommended.

Gene enjoys changing the songs on the radio and Linda mostly sleeps. Bob however can't relax. He's too worried that something is going to go wrong.

Linda tells him to not think about it, that everything has been going smoothly and theres nothing to worry about. However as they pass the big "Welcome to Gravity Falls" sign, Bob feels uneasy. The woods surround the car and the wind whistles through the trees.

Bob thinks he can hear whispering out the open window but tries to ignore it. As he drives deeper into the town he can hear the car start to sound weird. It's making a dragging sound and he can feel the pang of anxiety in his stomach.

Before he can reach over to wake Linda the car jerks forward. As she jolts awake Bob pulls over to inspect the damage. He mumbles about how he was right, how he knew their luck wouldn't last for long and how now they were stuck in a small, creepy, town.

Linda calls a tow truck as Bob tries to not get into his head and think about how the rest of the trip would be terrible after this. Linda reassures him after her phone call and at the shop they search for motels to stay in.

Bob lands on a cheap, old, motel a mile down the road from them. Linda is hesitant to agree, as the place gives her the creeps. Bob mentally agrees with her but argues that there’s no where else to stay.

With a heavy sigh and a long moment of silence, Linda gives in and calls a car. As they drive to the motel Linda can feel a sense of unease settle in her.

The kids were too exhausted to notice, Louise was curled up next to Bob, Gene laid with his head on his mothers shoulder and Tina laid like a ragdoll in the middle, dead asleep.

And as the driver pulled in Linda considered telling Bob to re-consider. To maybe search for a different place. However she knows how exhausted her family is and how much Bob needs rest.

She swallows hard as she wakes the kids and climbs out of the car. Normally she would go inside to check in while Bob grabs their stuff.

Now however, she waits, one arm wrapped around Louise‘s small body to keep her warm, feeling the light weight of the little girl leaning into her and the other arm around Gene, playing with his hair and keeping him close to her.

Tina leans back into her mother with her hands in her pockets as Linda blocks her from the wind. As Bob finishes unloading their luggage Linda herds the kids to the doors.

She lets Bob in first and follows him in, slipping her hand into Louise’s. The motel looks even older on the inside and Linda starts to wish she had asked Bob to change his mind on the place.

Hauling the luggage up the stairs was the nail in the coffin for Bob. Driving had tired him out enough, but worrying about the car and their trip and then having to carry their luggage to their room made him feel dead.

The kids didn’t bother changing, they tore off their coats and climbed into bed, piling over each other and it wasn’t long before Bob and Linda could hear their soft snores and see Tina’s twitching under the blankets.

Linda would’ve loved nothing more than to crawl into bed at that moment but sleeping in her clothes made her cringe. So as she changed in the bathroom Bob flipped through the channels on the tv, ultimately landing on an old black and white movie.

Linda joined him in bed when she was finished, noticing he had quickly and lazily threw on his own pajamas. His shirt was inside out and part of it was stuck in the waist band of his sweats.

Bob knew but didn’t care. And while still very creeped out by the town and the motel he knew rationally that there was nothing scary about it.

He needed to let it go, and he figured sleeping would help him shake off the feeling.

However in Gravity Falls, the things that go bump in the night aren’t just the house settling, or your pets running around after bed time, or your roommate up making a late dinner.

The things that go bump in the night are real.

They aren’t even just passed on beings who like to fool with the living, or are angry you‘re in their space.

They‘re so much worse.

And Bob soon wished he listened to his gut before passing the big wooden sign that read:

Gravity Falls, Oregon.
