These are some of my favourite excerpts from the recent Alex Hirsch interview. They are…well…
“Whatever connection that Bill was able to create with Ford where he was able to ring him up at a moment’s notice - pop up in his dream, pop up in his thoughts, possess him, to take over his body to do work - whatever that connection was, was somehow severed or nullified by Ford’s falling into the Nightmare Realm and getting lost.”
…
“Ford disappearing for thirty years is like somebody saying they’re ghosting you and then texting you the next weekend.”
…
“‘Ford’s gonna be back. (…) Oh, we had such a big fight. Oh, Ford’s so mad at me, oohhh…’ (…) A will-they-won’t-they take over the universe relationship. He’s gonna-he’s gonna march off in a huff and he’ll be back, ‘cause we’re- is Ford gonna find anyone else in the Multiverse that strokes his ego as well as Bill does? Is there anybody else that’s gonna make Ford feel aa important as Bill- no, of course not. Ford needs validation, and so Bill knows Ford’s gonna be back eventually. (…) I don’t think that hunt was too aggressive, between Bill and Ford.”
-Alex Hirsch, 2023

Ford: what do you kids want to be when you grow up?
Mabel: I wanna be a teacher!
Stan: … well then, you better marry a rich man
Ford: Stanley! Don’t say that to her!
Stan: what?
Ford: Mabel, dear, you marry whomever you want to marry! Right, Stanley?
Stan: oh! I got it! Sorry. Ford’s right sweetie, you marry whoever you want! Rich man, rich woman, it doesn’t matter, just make sure they’re rich!

Disclaimer: not a native Thai speaker, still learning 🙏
...also, not an expert on tarot and astrology btw djsdhsj
Fortune favors the bold
- XXI The World (-> Earth/Ongsa) = accomplishment, seizing opportunities the universe presents, confidence in one's place in the world
- XIX The Sun (-> Sun) = joy, positivity, enlightenment, light illuminating the truth
- X Wheel of Fortune = destiny, soulmates, change, growth, the wheel turning in one's favor
ก็เหมือนกับโลกที่มันต้องมีแสงสว่างจากพระอาทิตย์ไง /gaaw meuuan gap lohk thee man dtawng mee saaeng sa waang jaak phra aa thit ngai/
-> โลก /lohk/ = Earth, the world
-> แสงสว่าง /saaeng sa waang/ = (bright/brilliant) light
And that's what she's been doing all episode 🥺♥ Sun's brightness and warmth give her confidence!
ชอบสิ /chaawp si/
AAAAAAAAHHHHH this can be read as both 'They/That person does like you' and 'I do like you'
ถึงดวงอาทิตย์ของเรา จากโลกของเธอ /theung duaang aa thit khaawng rao, jaak lohk khaawng ter/
Sun's horoscope
How is Sun a Gemini, you may ask? It's me, I asked, so I went and researched it for everyone lol
In astrology, there's two ways to divide the ecliptic into the 12 signs - tropical and sidereal.
(source)
Western astrology generally follows the tropical zodiac which is based on the Northern hemisphere's seasonal cycle, lining up the equinoxes and solstices with the ecliptic.
Vedic/Hindu astrology follows the sidereal zodiac which is based on the observable sky and thus accounts for the Earth's axial precession and the seemingly backwards movement of fixed stars over time, caused by the Earth's axial tilt of ✨ 23.5 degrees ✨
All of this to say- Sun is a Gemini in sidereal astrology!
First contact
Aylin's coming out of her shell!! I loved her this episode, trying to make friends, expressing herself more and being genuinely funny.
มนุษย์พี่นี่โคตรไร้สาระ /ma noot phi nee khoht rai saa ra/
เมื่อกี้น้องว่าไงนะ /meuua gee nong waa ngai na/
-> ไร้สาระ /rai saa ra/ = nonsensical, lacking meaning/substance, which got subbed as "That's bull." earlier in the same scene??, combined with โคตร /khoht/ here, which is an impolite colloquial intensifier, sounds like "You're full of crap, senior human." lmao
1) ฉันกับยัยเจริญพรจะคอยช่วยแกแล้วกัน /chan gap yai Charoenporn ja khaawy chuuay gae laaeo gan/
2) เจริญพร /ja reern phaawn/ = Yes.
2) Charoen's full first name is เจริญพร /ja reern phaawn/:
เจริญ /ja reern/ = to prosper, prosperous, to pray/chant;
พร /phaawn/ = blessing, benediction
เจริญพร /ja reern phaawn/ is a word used by Buddhist monks for 'yes'/assent/response, just like ครับ /khrap/ or ค่ะ /kha/ are used, for example. There's a whole set of vocabulary/register that's specifically used by and with monks and in the context of Buddhism.
1) Tin calls Charoen ยัยเจริญพร /yai Charoenporn/ several times this episode lmao - ยัย /yai/ stems from ยาย /yaai/ = grandma, and can be used in a friendly way to call a woman or derogatorily (kinda like 'hag', I guess?) It's all in the context but that can be said about a lot of things in Thai language djsdhsjh
It's comparable to colloquial ไอ้ /ai/, a prefix for mostly male names, e.g. ไอ้ติณห์ Ai'Tin, to call someone in a friendly or- cursing way:
ไอ้มนุษย์บุลลี่ /ai ma noot bully/
Obligatory 1st person pronoun moments because there's only the two three*, she doesn't use any otherwise:
1) เรา /rao/, 2) calls herself alien again, 3) ข้า /khaa/, which sounds old timey
*edited to add her fortune teller shtick
Quick translation of the preview texts
Well... I like [the roses?]
That's nice
You liking [?] makes me happy
Thank you so much, Earth
Earth, it'll be my birthday in a few days. If I asked you for one thing, would you give it to me?
What is it?
Can we meet?
