Hi, so in case you can't tell my ever-so-creative blog name, this blog is dedicated to Gravity Falls and other related stuff! :) This includes all the other cartoons I'm into (Wander Over Yonder, Star vs. the Forces of Evil, Wordgirl, Animaniacs and other shows that I'm probably forgetting) Please note that you are on my Wordpress site, and everything I post is imported from tumblr, so if something has transfered strangle, that's why. Reblogged posts (which are not mine!) will have giant quotation marks in front of the text, along with the username of original tumblr user who posted it in red text.
The kids’ response to the shooting has been something truly incredible.
Normally, it’s always been very young children and it’s only their parents that can speak about it. The narrative gets controlled, the conspiracy theorists talk about how it’s all an act, so much bullshit.
But these are kids who are active on social media, incredibly close to voting age, and they’re demanding their voices are heard. Every single thing that downplays, dismisses or conspiracies the shooting has been subverted by their efforts, and they’re not letting adults who’ve never lived what they lived through control the narrative.
“It was a conspiracy!” “No, we have video evidence of it happening.” “Shouldn’t you be calling 911 instead of making videos?” “We called 911 so many times they told us to stop.” “But he was a troubled child!” “We were ALL troubled, that’s no excuse.” And it just goes on like this.
Honestly, I’m so proud of my fellow Floridians.
I said to my husband the other day that “This one feels different”, referring to this precisely.
The whole energy around it feels different. These kids are not having this bullshit, and while they should not have to stand their ground and fight this battle, goddamn it they are going to. If the adults won’t, then goddamn it these kids will draw a fucking line and say ‘no, no more, this is bullshit’.
I don’t know what it means, or how it will play out long term. But there’s a sense around this whole tragedy that this one is different, and I hope, maybe, that means some actual change will come.

I’m glad the Pines family and Pacifica survived the mountain lion apocalypse… RIP everyone else though. 😦
NOOOOOooooo~~~
No mountain lions were harmed in the making of this shitpost.
what shitpost? that’s serious art^tm!!!1!!11!! X"D
THE THRILLING SAGA CONTINUES
Did someone said … RIP Wendy?
AAARRRRrrrr~
(I have no idea what to say X’D I just had so much fun X"D)
Guess who this mountain lion canonically ate.
It’ll be fine. Maybe! 😀
Oh my god, you guys are all amazing!! I mean, Alex only said that they were eaten by mountain lions, not that they were killed by them. This is all 100% within the possibility of canon, ;D
Also, if Bill gets eaten by a mountain lion… would he be able to possess it from the inside, so to speak?? PARANOIA TIME.
Okay, so @eregyrn-falls pointed out that big cats don’t have slit pupils. I will gracefully admit my mistake and proceed to panic.
