I just started reading the forward to my edition of Twelfth Night for my Shakespeare class and my head’s already filled with possible Mother 3 parallels.

In Regards to my Previous Two Responses
So, those who follow me may have noticed two extremely long posts on my end detailing what I can only describe as “defensive character analysis” (it makes more sense in context, I swear). The conversation seemed to have stopped with my second post, as the original user did not decide to continue the debate, which is fine, I guess.
But while I’m by no means upset with myself for writing those responses, the entire affair left me feeling uneasy. So, while I haven’t deleted the responses (it would be wrong of me to delete them, I think, and I feel that the points I made about audiences and unreliable narrators, Dipper or otherwise, are worth keeping around), I have put them under Read More tags, which seem to work on my tumblr’s main page but not my dashboard? Not sure why, really. Probably because reblogging doesn’t have a Read More tag button and I had to manually add the coding. Or something like that.
Either way, I felt it was unfair to subject you all to those posts. This isn’t a social justice blog, and never will be, so I tend to keep those sorts of posts to a minimum. But in this case I responded because I was so, honestly irked, and I promise I’ll try harder to resist should the urge ever strike me again.
Fabulous Kvetchin' Inc.: Gravity Falls 2
And in light of my post earlier today, Gravity Falls can now suck it…
…I didn’t think the focus was on how Robby was unfairly treated- he’s not the main character, not someone I have any reason to care about…I’ll make sure to remember to keep away from you for the rest of my life. You’re too self-centered for my taste.
…empathizing with the protagonist is (unless subverted) highly imperative. It’s not a matter of personal taste but rather form and function: if the audience cannot empathize with the protagonist, our hearts are not with them, we cannot understand their actions and comprehend both their merits and faults, and the magic is gone…As far as I can tell, I am the audience as much as anyone else…

Sorry I haven’t been online much these last few days - got a lot to get together before moving back on campus.
“Not H.G. Wells Approved”
for those of you who don’t know H.G. Wells was an author who wrote “The Time Machine”. it was about a man who builds a time machine. his girlfriend gets killed on a date so he goes back in time to stop her from getting killed. she ends up dieing no matter how many times he goes back. then he travels into the future, shit happens, his time machine ends up getting destroyed.
No
Nonononono wrong
I’m sorry to nitpick and I must sound like a total jerk but that is not the plot of H.G. Wells’ The Time Machine.
The romantic motivation is entirely a device of the (bad) modern adaptation of the film. In the novella (and the first movie adaptation), the protagonist’s motivation is nothing more than scientific curiosity, rather than a throng of time travel clichés like in the newest film.
This has been a lit nerd public service announcement *ollies out*

I have so many ridiculous fanfic concepts filled with crazy nonsensical AU headcanons that I’ll never have time to write. I should do a “Fanfics I’ll Never Write” series where I summarize (in detail?) fics that I’ll never have the time to put honest effort in to.
…But would anybody actually read that?
( Just to clarify, it wouldn’t just be Mother stuff. In fact, it would probably mostly be not-Mother stuff. Part of the reason I don’t have enough time to write all this stuff is because SaB is a thing and it exists and stuff XD And Hinawa Story is full of AU headcanons, but I’m actually writing it, sort of. )
