You know what I really cannot stand about Quentin Coldwater haters??? Their inability to see that his angst (which yes is comedic sometimes) comes from his honest to god clear mental illness… He suffers from clinical depression, which I myself suffer from. They are like “why can’t he just enjoy his life and this magical world” because mental illness doesn’t work that way. If I had magic, which I desperately wish I did… It wouldn’t well magically fix shit. That’s the whole point of the series too, or at least one of them. Magic can’t fix things. You can’t magically be fixed. Yes Quentin makes stupid decisions as a young adult but we all do. He’s a very flawed character but his character is one of the most honest portraits of a person with depression I’ve ever seen.

A+, As someone who is suffering from atypical depression all this. Quentin is the only character i really identify as. No lie, both book and show Quentin. I really didn’t expect to have my heart strings be pulled so hard reading the books, (fact : i watched the show before the books, and I finished the trilogy in two days).

There is so much of me in Quentin, down to the fact that his father died. I cried when he cried out for his father, and it reminded me how much I miss my own father, (my father died when I was ten). And a lot of my own angst definitely comes my depression.

Quentin is a very flawed character indeed, but we as humans are flawed as well.

i’m still so blown away by the spot on characterization of deadpool in the movie

the fact that the first time we see him not as deadpool, he’s working a free job for a teenage girl and putting the fear of god into her stalker

the fact that he doesn’t hurt kids, not even older ones, and “aw, he’s not a bad kid, weas”

him being ready to stand up for vanessa when some guy disrespects her and immediately going heart-eyes when she stands up for herself instead

and then not caring one bit that she’s a prostitute/stripper and it never being a problem when they’re in a serious long-lasting relationship

occasionally losing his temper (”AARRGH RIGHT UP MAIN STREET—three—two—stupid! worth it.” and then of course when vanessa gets kidnapped)

him totally not underestimating tiny negasonic, letting her take on angel dust because he knows she can hold her own, and then the immediate split second decision to grab her and pull her into cover when the guns start going off because he knows she’s strong as shit but not bulletproof

his bonding with blind al oh my fucking god and their disabled-person-to-disabled-person banter (”love is blind” “no, al, you’re blind”)

idk man this character just means a lot to me and so many people are being introduced to him solely through this movie, and i was so worried that they’d get a different character than what we get from the comics but they didn’t and i’m so happy about this

i’m so tired of the AU where your soulmate’s name is on your wrist. i want my enemy’s name on my wrist. i wanna know who i’m going to have to physically fight eventually. turn on your fucking location

your enemy’s name on one wrist and your soulmate the another. no clue which is which. hope it’s not the same name on both wrists.

a bunch of thoughts/things i keep thinking about

  • stan has an eyepatch/keeps an eyepatch because this old dope literally just wants to be a pirate 
  • stan is similar to/connected to bill because it took a con man to fuck up a con man
  • the transference of hats is so wonderful and so good (stan inheriting the fez, passing it on to soos, dipper pragmatically replacing his ruined hat with the closest thing on hand, but being given a hat with clear sentimental value by his dear friend (wendy’s hat is seen in AToTS as having originally belonged to her father)) there is a TORCH PASSING going on here and i dig it
  • i want to believe that wax larry king’s head became a permanent fixture in the shack
  • my mr. and mrs. mystery AU became canon except with soos and melody instead of stan and carla and i’m so happy
  • stan can officially swear like the sailor he was born to be
  • dipper and mabel getting packages from distant lands, full of trinkets and odds and ends the stans send them
  • mabel taking waddles for walks around the neighborhood and everyone is totally jealous of those pines kids and their massive pet pig
  • dipper thinking wearing wendy’s hat is going to make his fading crush come back, but it doesn’t. it smells like gravity falls, like the trees and the air and a little bit like the gnomes, and there’s that sort of musty smell on the outside that he’s pretty sure smells EXACTLY like the mystery shack. 
  • stan and ford staying up, late nights out in the open ocean, catching up on 40 years worth of life updates.
  • dipper and mabel with a shared calendar on the wall, ticking down days
  • so. many. skype calls. wendy to dipper. mabel to candy and grenda. the stans to soos. soos to the twins. the stans to the twins. SO MANY.
  • mabel prints out screenshots of stan’s face pressed way too close to the camera on the computer that fiddleford set up for him and ford. she hangs them from the wall. “this, dipper, is ART”
  • fiddleford becoming a grandpa (with a mansion full of raccoons, and his son)
  • a sailboat making port not too far from piedmont, and a very distinct red el diablo pulling up in front of the pines’ family home.
  • ‘DIPPER! STAN GREW A BEARD!’

TYES YYES YES ALL OF THIS YES
