Wendy Even Gets A Turquoise Bandana Like Thing In The Last Few Episodes, Which I Thought Was Funny Because

block people stop whiny man from throwing destructive temper tantrum

I could have a buffer!

*thinks about it*

Mmm nah.

Double Dipper, I too am fine!

okay, okay. Imagine you're watching Gravity Falls for the first time. You watch all the episodes in order EXCEPT one of them is mysteriously left out.

spin this wheel to see which one you skipped

reblogs appreciated!

A hitman who advertises his services the way a commission artist does

Perfectly innocuous statement.

As someone with a few years experience in martial arts with sparring, I would like to explain some

Realistic reactions to being struck

Punched in the gut:

yelp of pain--like "ah!" And then a groan like "ohh" as the nausea hits

Curl protectively over their gut

Arms out to stop any incoming punches

After expelling air from the impact, they may not be able to breathe in. They may just lose some of their wind, or all of it.

If whumpee is trained (or used to it!) they may know to breathe out a little on impact, softening the blow and reducing the amount of air they lose

It hurts, so victim is going to be at least grimacing and guarding their stomach

Losing your wind is disorienting and panic-inducing, even for someone with training

A hard enough punch may be enough to drop whumpee, especially if: they are skinny (less padding), their body is trying to conserve oxygen (like they lost ALL their wind at once), they are panicked/outmatched (to protect themselves), or they're going to puke

Puking can also happen a bit afterward

Can we talk about this:

And how big a deal it is?

I mean, look…we all know Soos is the perfect replacement for Stan. We all know that by giving Soos the role of Mr. Mystery, he’s not only making Soos’s long-term dream come true, he’s cementing the unspoken father-son bond they have by making Soos the closest thing Stan has to an heir.

But a job title isn’t all Stan gives him.

Let’s be clear here–Stan lives like a poor man. He’s cheap and loath to spend a single penny when he can mend, reuse or steal what he needs instead. But I don’t think that’s a sign the Shack isn’t making him money. On the contrary, everything we see about the Shack reinforces the idea that it’s making great money. Stan isn’t poor. He’s miserly. There’s a big difference.

We never see an episode where Stan’s worrying about how business is dropping off or where the Shack is open but deserted. Whenever we see Stan give a tour, there’s always a crowd. And with one or two exceptions (tourists leaving angrily after Waddles eats the Cornicorn) the tourists are almost always forking over huge fistfuls of cash.The Shack frequently hosts huge events that the entire town shows up for, and Stan’s often surrounded by huge piles of cash. The Mystery Shack is such a fixture of Gravity Falls that it’s on the town map hanging in city hall.

Stan’s bitter promise to his family that he would make millions quite frankly probably came true.

Stan didn’t just give Soos his dream job, he gave him an incredibly profitable business that he could have probably sold for millions. Stan “bleed ‘em dry ” Pines. Stan “wouldn’t loan you a nickel without charging interest” Pines. He gave it to Soos for nothing.

Soos deserved it. After ten years of the most loving, devoted loyalty to his father dad papa padre employer for what I can only assume was terrible pay, he had earned it. But that’s not really my point–my point is that Stan, who couldn’t even bring himself to spend a few dollars on pancakes for his niblings, gave away potential millions to his son heir precious child that he loves so much employee with a smile, without hesitation. 

That is huge. That is amazing. That is both an important sign of character growth and an indication of how much Stan loves this precious baby man.

Random excerpt that I really liked from an MCSM fic I'm writing :

(companion to this fic: https://archiveofourown.org/works/53703352)

Flashes of lighting and thunder rumbled in the distance. She wondered how that was possible, considering she was underground, before realizing that it’s the Admin, he can do whatever. And she couldn’t stop him.

And Jesse couldn’t stop him. 

And that’s what scared her the most, because Jesse . . . Jesse was invincible. They–the New Order of the Stone–had all been invincible after they’d found their footing in the world of adventures, but they’d slowly left that behind, building new lives. But Jesse had always managed to keep a foot in both worlds and she was darn good at it. But their new enemy was powerful, so much more powerful than any they’d faced before, and Jesse had put on a brave face. 

But it was her fake brave face, the bravado she used when the world was ending and she had to be the one to keep it all together because who else was going to? (Nobody, that’s who. Jesse took the world on her shoulders and the rest of them just let her, let her think she was responsible for it all, for all of them.)

#mcsm#mcsm confessions#minecraft story mode#mcsm petra#mod note: where does she use the word moratorium?

In the very first episode, if you lose the building competition and then say “Losing is the worst” or something to that effect, Petra says, “Enough! I’m calling a moratorium on moping!”

I believe “moratorium” means to end something.

I like petra's random use of big words like WTF is a moratorium??

Soos "I make my own economy." Ramirez

Stanley "I'd fire all of you if I could." Pines
