Meant To Post This A While Ago But Couldn't Find It. This Was Just Me Messing Around (I Can Draw Better

I mean my username is sort of a huge inside joke that no one gets. But I DO like cake . . .

Reblog this post to ask mutuals to tell you their weirdest theory about u

i think maybe we could spend less time thinking about things that make us angry and more time thinking about other stuff

Hey cake just wanna ask have you considered turning on custom tumblr url? https://chemicalarospec.tumblr.com/post/699113999506210816

I haven't, but I am now

do y’all remember before direct messages tumblr had a dumbass ask limit of 10 per hour and communication was impossible until they introduced dumbass fan mail and we were basically sending telegraphs back in forth trying to communicate those were…dark times

With such a knack for theatrics it’s amazing Ford didn’t major in drama

I got Journal 3 for Christmas and I need everybody to know that Ford has drank human blood. Or consumed it in some form.

Protect them ❤️❤️❤️✨✨✨✨

next summer twins

the most important thing when i write dipper and mabel is to understand that they are not stan and ford.

that's not to say that there aren't similarities. obviously, the twins have dynamics that can be compared to each other in a myriad of ways, both separately and together.

but it's so very vital that dipper is NOT a 1:1 ford. and mabel is NOT a 1:1 stan.

dipper has ford's love of rationality and mysteries, but he has stan's love of stories and family. mabel has stan's pure chaos, but ford's pre-bill trust in people.

dipper and stan both approach the world with cynicism. young ford and mabel approach the world with wonder.

stan was the twin worried about being left behind, just like mabel. ford and dipper both wanted to carve a path for themselves and their future.

mabel was so scared of losing her brother that she accidentally caused weirdmaggedon, just like stan was worried about losing ford that he accidentally sabatoged ford's science project/collegiate future. but dipper was the one who fought like hell mostly by himself in the apocalypse for three days to get her back, just like stan worked for thirty years to save ford. there is nothing dipper wouldn't sacrifice for mabel.

in my humble opinion, this is why the pines family dynamic is so damn compelling. they aren't carbon copies because that's not how people work. there is a sincerity, an honesty, a relatability between all of these characters and their flaws.

mabel and dipper aren't just the younger version of their grunkles. they are a crazy mishmash of the best and worst traits swapped around and punted to the moon and back.

exploring each micro-dynamic is so fascinating. i love this weird little family.

Jesse: Do you think I could fit 15 marshmallows in my mouth?

Nate: You're a hazard to society

Lake: And a coward, do 20.

I have to reblog this because it's funny. Funny because it's true

For a fandom surrounding a story about friendship and forgiveness, we sure have an issue with those concepts sometimes.
