It might be a personal failure that I have more than one friend who still hasn't seen Gravity Falls all the way through

NEW EPISODE!

We took less than a year between #GravityFalls seasons, and I count that as a win. Our season 2 premiere is finally out!

Does Camilla just assume NYPL stole Pooh Bear because she doesn't know exhibits can be donated willingly

It's actually impressive that someone could make such a great modern adaptation of Carrie, yet completely botch the ending.
It's Carrie. They handed the ending to you on a platter. Just do the ending.

Thank you so much for the response to this essay! I was nervous because I had some not-particularly-positive things to say, but y'all have been great.

And the outpouring of support, re: me being laid off and dealing with medical debt, has been very overwhelmingly kind. (1/2)

[Hana ➡️SONIC EXPO DALLAS (NOV. 6-8) @hanahyperfixate]

Since being laid off, I need all the help I could get while I get my feet back under me.

Especially the episodes on Hand That Rocks the Mabel, Land Before Swine, Let It Shine, and the Garden Wall Recall episode on The Ringing of the Bell/Babes in the Wood

I don't get money from this I just like attention

I haven't had a chance to actually read #TheArtofGravityFalls but Wendy approves of the packaging

I wasn't happy when my third grade teacher read us Fig Pudding and I had to finally process the fact that kids could actually die. But real tragedies happen unexpectedly and without the luxury of foreshadowing. Us learning about it this way was the best case scenario.

[This is what a cornfield looks like, honey! @MabelPagePines]

Well, I finally read it. I'm sorry if you were misled by the movie's marketing only to have your heart broken, but this really is an excellent book and, I imagine, a perfect tool to explain grief to kids.

"Why did my English teacher have me read this fucked up book/short story?"

Because it's crucial to engage with things that make you uncomfortable and to learn the difference between a work upsetting you and a work being sad/dark for the sake of it.

[This is what a cornfield looks like, honey! @MabelPagePines]

At the same time, if half this movie had been Bullseye being sad and missing his kid I may not have lived through it

[This is what a cornfield looks like, honey! @MabelPagePines]

I was glad this relationship got more focus in 5 but now I know we could have had more and I'm no longer satisfied

[DiscussingFilm @DiscussingFilm]

A new deleted scene from ‘TOY STORY 5’ reveals how Jessie and Bullseye first met.

[This is what a cornfield looks like, honey! @MabelPagePines]

If I ever have kids I will only show them the odd-numbered Toy Story movies in order to facilitate the most confusing possible viewing experience

[Hana ➡️SONIC EXPO DALLAS (NOV. 6-8) @hanahyperfixate]

I have no regrets about making my "The Book of Bill" video into an analog horror film set within a Zoom call English Class on The Great Gatsby, but I DO wish more ppl watched it simply because @_AlexHirsch lowkey confirms Fiddleford's affections for Ford in the interview for it.

[This is what a cornfield looks like, honey! @MabelPagePines]

I saw Toy Story 5 again last night and the phenomenon of tumblr and tiktok users who are attracted to this thing makes even less sense

[This is what a cornfield looks like, honey! @MabelPagePines]

Of course in a real world sense they just don't know how to use this character for a full movie without incorporating a version of him that's still deluded so they found another simple concept for him to misunderstand, then added more deluded Buzzes in 5 when that backfired

[This is what a cornfield looks like, honey! @MabelPagePines]

The dumbing down of Buzz in Toy Story 4 is annoying but they did spend the previous movie fucking with his brain and then dropping a CRT TV on him headfirst so maybe he was still recovering
