Hey Bear! I read your story about the rabid raccoon and something that intrigued me a little was how the director mentioned rabid raccoon’s eyes glow green when you shine a light into them. I decided to look into it and I was wondering if the raccoon may have had distemper rather than rabies or possibly both? I found some mentioning of that particular symptom with distemper but none like that for rabies. Though, distemper, as far as I’ve found, is very similar and just as deadly and infectious so I suppose it doesn’t matter all that much.

This possibility was raised to me a while back (though they were much less friendly about it lol), and I agree that it's possible we were seeing the effects of canine distemper--at least as far as the "green eyes" symptom was concerned!

I never really mentioned it on here, because it actually wound up leading to some legal entanglement, but the director at that wildlife rehab clinic was... maybe not the sort of person who should be making diagnoses or medical decisions or really even working in wildlife rehabilitation at all. His heart was definitely in the right place, but uh. You can have your heart in the right place and still follow the law, Ron.

Anyway, whatever that raccoon had, it was definitely something I didn't want to catch.

#I don't know if I'll ever tell the full story on here #but suffice to say: He was the only one who got into actual legal trouble #the system thankfully recognized that the rest of us were acting in good faith and had NO idea how much he was fucking around #until the day we all found out #except for him #he was conveniently... away when everything came crashing down #the summer of 2015 was a wild time for me #the bear roars

please bullet point explain how you went from memes to dreams i am so curious

Ok basically

2015 - graduated hs, started college in Atlanta, started making SU memes

2016 - got internship/co-op at CN Games (coincidentally right by my school), kept making memes, eventually the CN social media team asked me to do freelance for them, started meeting the SU cast at cons and stuff

2017 - the year where things got crazy lol, YouTube and memes thing was pretty wild at this point and I got to start collabing with the cast. CN decided to do a Steven Universe podcast and asked me to host it and then I also interned on the show at the same time to learn about animation production. Moved to LA for the summer for that

2018 - kept doing the podcast remotely from Atlanta and YouTube and college

2019 - podcast ended, started getting really serious about voice acting and taking lessons, got a voice acting gig, got hit by a truck (lived!). Graduated college (December) and got hired for a PA job on an animated sitcom @ Titmouse starting next January in LA

2020 - moved to LA start of the year, started working as a PA, got VO agent, pandemic, worked remotely and tried not to go crazy all alone in LA, got promoted to production coordinator, pretty much stopped YouTube after SU ended

2021 - finally broke in as an assistant animatic editor on a different animated show at Titmouse (Beavis and Butt-Head lol), continued taking a lot of VO classes

2022 - promoted to assistant editor and then Animatic Editor™ on B&B, somehow managed to make the leap to animatic editing on Jentry (honestly forever gonna be grateful they were willing to take a chance on me)

2023 - now I'm animatic editing on Jentry and auditioning for VO jobs all the time as well (and occasionally even booking them, when I'm lucky lol)

I'm sorry I tried to be brief but also im bad at summarizing lol, if anything doesn't make sense lemme know. i feel so grateful so many people were willing to help me get to where I'm at so im genuinely always happy to answer any questions if my experience can help other people in the same boat!!!!!

my brain is fried i'm so overtired I've cried spontaneously at least once a day for the past three days will you please help a girl out with a soft cozy wholesome movie recc please and thank you

I’m so sorry my dear!! I dug to the depths of a bunch of old tag games and my film tag and this is what I came up with!

when I’m strung out I tend to gravitate to movies that will make me happy-cry so this list will at moments tend in that direction. I tried to sort by what was available to stream now, and the sub-lists are in no particular order

if you have amazon prime (the basic package):

Penelope (2006). highly recommend, a funny little modern fairy tale about a lonely young girl searching for a way to break her curse. this one heals something in my heart

Stardust. also highly recommend! a chaotic fairy tale about true love and what a person would do for it.

Street Gang. the Sesame Street documentary. sometimes people are good and they’re trying to make the world a better place and they’re doing it with their friends.

How To Train Your Dragon. it’s a perfectly executed film and the score and animation is gorgeous. (also available on netflix)

if you have netflix:

Feel the Beat. a dance flick about a seemingly cold-hearted ambitious young woman becoming a dance teacher in her hometown

To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before. so so so rewatchable.

She’s the Man. the funniest movie on this list and possibly of all time. I have never shown this movie to a person who didn’t end up loving it. it’s Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night at boarding school as a soccer movie

if you have tubi?? you might not need a membership I don’t know how tubi works??

The Music Man. some of the best costumes and choreography my favorite age of movie musicals had to offer. a con man comes to a small Iowa town and starts to want to believe in the beautiful lie he’s selling.

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. this movie was written by Roald Dahl and it is buck wild. widowed inventor and his two children buy a broken down racing car and?? hijinks and musical numbers ensue

if you have disney plus:

Princess Diaries (1&2). we know them, we love them.

Sky High. if you haven’t seen this, I highly recommend it because it is silly fun but it understands the genre it’s playing with.

Newsies (1992). scrappy newsboys form a union, sing songs, punch each other, ???, profit

Holes. the single best adapted book to film ever? the cast commentary is also hilarious

Rodgers and Hammerstein Cinderella (1997). absolutely delightful. Whitney Houston as the godmother! Jason Alexander as the butler! Brandy as Cinderella! Bernadette Peters as the stepmother!

if you feel up for a trip to the library, things to look for:

The Hundred Foot Journey. I only saw this one once but it’s about a family who opens up an Indian restaurant across from a Michelin-starred French restaurant and it’s gorgeous

A League of Their Own (1992). sisters! best friends! married women and their disreputable drunk coach friends!

The Secret Garden (1993). highly recommend! this one fixes me down to my bones.

This Beautiful Fantastic. also highly recommend! a woman who’s afraid of the world falls in love with it.

Secondhand Lions. also highly recommend!! a boy gets dropped off with his great-uncles for the summer, hears possibly made-up stories of their wild and adventurous youth

August Rush. a young musical prodigy searches for his parents.

Sense and Sensibility (1995). if you need Austen energy, this is the one.

Cinderella (2015). this movie is so gentle and so lovely.

Little Women (1994). life is gonna be hard and sad but it’s gonna be beautiful and the love will endure!!!

I hope this helps and I hope you feel better! ❤️❤️

#I didn’t put Far From the Madding Crowd on here because it gets a little fraught in the middle there #but the ending is so so so comforting to me #I didn’t put love and monsters or speed on here because they are full of love BUT they are stressful #more so than the stuff here #asks

i already touched on it in my post on the new episode, but i wanted to talk a bit more about viewing unity through a queer lense. warning this post is long and possibly incomprehensible because im sick.

ive always thought it kind of wild that so many people missed the memo about rick being pansexual when the first explicit partner of his we get to meet is unity (i say explicit because birdperson shows up before unity, and while i do believe rick is definitely meant to be into him, you wouldn't know that from his first appearance and it's not clear if c137 ever had romantic/sexual relations with bp or if it was purely unrequited). it seems obvious to me that there was queer shit going on in auto erotic assimilation, so rnm fans being all homophobic seems puzzling, because that episode came out in 2015. queer shit going on in this show is not new, why do people act surprised everytime it happens? to be honest, the new episode gave me a bit of clarity there.

so, a relationship with unity being queer might be obvious to me and my fellow gays, but it is played very safe. the majority of rick's interactions with unity are through female bodies it inhabits, and especially the main sort of ambassador lady. it almost feels like she is unity first and foremost, with all the other bodies it has being some cool power of hers, an offshoot of that one specific alien rather than equal parts of who unity is.

and yknow, that's clearly intentional, nobody ever went broke for appealing to straight men, but there is something there. i do think the choice to make the first serious relationship the audience gets to see from your main character be with a hivemind that assimilates regardless of gender is a cool one. because like i said in the other post, that makes being with unity a sort of pansexual microcosm. the first episode had a couple nods to rick not exclusively sleeping with the female bodies under unity's control, and i think this new episode was worse about making unity basically feel like it is mainly supposed to be that one alien. unity gets called she/her a lot in this episode, but there was that one line "don't talk to them like that" which i found... interesting.

it is possible im overthinking unity's pronouns. hell, i have multiple sets of pronouns, and im not even a hivemind. but that specific line did seem like, idk, intentional? yknow like when the pronouns were inconsistent in the first episode that was coming from morty and summer who were just meeting unity. i don't think rick even used pronouns to refer to unity in the first episode, but in the new one that's what he says to curtis, who's talking to unity through The Main Alien Lady. "don't talk to them like that" while later he uses she/her when talking to wong. unity's pronouns come across to me as written for the queer folks to catch the ~vibe~ and the straight folks to not have to notice at the same time.

honestly a lot of unity comes across that way. at the same time it can be this genderless entity experiencing life through many bodies, but also maybe more like one woman who happens to be able to control a planet's worth of people. and yeah, i get it. everybody wants to make the gays happy but nobody wants to lose the straights business. if rick's ever allowed to have a more explicit queer relationship than the referenced history with nimbus, that'll piss some people off. rick and morty fans in particular have a penchant for being intense and sometimes they're weird about minorities even though rick is one like 3 times over.

so like, i loved this new episode a lot, but i do feel like there was a missed opportunity to be a bit more ballsy with unity. i don't think it should've been represented by the same body as last time, that makes it feel like just another sexy alien lady for rick to have the hots for and i think it can be more interesting than that, yknow?

sweet beginnings tag

This tag is all about looking at your past. All you need to do is to find one of the first screenshots you ever took (preferably also published) and post it beside the recent one! And tell everybody when you took that first picture! Oh, and don’t forget to tag your posts! #sweet beginnings tag

I was tagged by @plumbboo, thank you! Please feel free to say that I tagged you if you want to do this :)

--

Honestly kinda wild looking back at my old stuff but here it is!

2015: For context, I was coming from playing with TS2 and TS3 and alpha was kinda the craze back then so most of my sims were also alpha (also didn't help that most of the cc available at the time were also alpha)

I don't think I knew what tumblr was at that point so I don't really have much screenshots other than this one picture that I made my google account profile picture for a while (I actually kinda remember feeling annoyance whenever some cc sites would direct me to tumblr which is wild tbh).

2017: Still didn't join tumblr, but I think I started downloading from there?? Fun times. The pictures shown are also from me putting them up as my profile pic on my google account lmao.

2018: Joined tumblr! Won't link my old account because it's terrible but uhhh I remember posting my legacy at the time which involved Summer Holiday and Travis Scott but I think I ended up deleting it. I also started doing CC + making edits which is kinda cool I guess.

2019 - 2023: Discovered rendering and never really looked back. Also started experimenting with my sim style to make it more cartoony ksdfjsd (I've recently started toning it down for regular gameplay though,,,)

#marso #just wanted to hop on this because I was actually curious if I actually had anything saved #I did #it was terrible #while making this #i realized that i haven't made a proper edit in a while #the last one I think is the mermaid edit I did a while back #you can stroll through my 'e' tag if u wanna see that

Throwback to 2015-17 where middle school me was elbows deep into the Creepypasta fandom and somehow wrote one of the most popular BEN Drowned x reader fics on AO3 at the time. I have such a love hate nostalgia relationship with that thang. And I did all that when I was like, 12 at an art camp over the summer. Wild shit.

Anyways I’m considering doing a reboot or a rewrite or just doing more literature stuff with the Creepypasta characters in general because I’ve been in the trenches again. Help.

Here’s the fic in all its…not really glory in case anyone wants to read it. If you recognize it from your own Creepypasta days of yore, I am so sorry :”)

ALSO I HAVE NO FUCKING CLUE WHY MIDDLE SCHOOL ME PUT INCEST IN THE TAGS????? HELLO?????? I DON’T THINK 12 Y/O ME EVEN KNEW WHAT THAT MEANT, JESUS CHRIST????

But uh yeah anyways PLEASE ignore that tag because I have no fucking clue why it’s there in the first place and it’s mortifying to know my old fic got popular despite that. Yikes.

#creepypasta #ben drowned #creepypasta x reader #creepypasta fandom #ben drowned x reader #fanfic #cringe #like holy fuck what was I thinking #12 year old me was a different breed #if you recognize this from your heyday I am deeply sorry

In exactly two-weeks' time, I will be facedown on the floor of the August Wilson Theatre because her "What Would You Do?" has killed me dead. Bebe is my ultimate Diva.

Sylvia Baumgarten (aka Sylvia Halliday, Louisa Rawlings and Ena Halliday), 1933-2024

My friend Sylvia Baumgarten died on the morning of February 1rst. Our friendship began in the 1990s, when I wrote her a fan letter about one of her early Harlequin historicals, Wicked Stranger, and she wrote back a long type-written letter about her influences and research and sent me a copy of Stranger in My Arms as well. I interviewed her for my old blog in 2011-- sadly, that interview has been lost. But we also met in 2016 for dinner, and she sent me her collection of books about the French Revolution. She was a great talent, as well as witty, opinionated and immensely generous. I will miss her very much.

She graduated from Brown University in 1955, and from 1982 to 2015 wrote for a variety of publishers, including Pocket Books, Kensington Publishing Corp., Harlequin, and Diversion Books. She was also a President of the Romance Writers of America/ New York City Chapter, and her books were nominated for multiple awards. Forever Wild was a finalist for the RWA/Golden Medallion award, Best Historical Romance (1986). Stolen Spring (which I reviewed for Dear Author) received a Romantic Times nomination as Best French Historical (1988), while Promise of Summer [archive.org link] received the Romantic Times Reviewer's Choice Award as the Best Historical Romance set in France (1989). Wicked Stranger had also been nominated for a Rita Award by the Romance Writers of America.

Baumgarten's papers are available in the Manuscripts Division of Brown University, and include press kits, book reviews, news clippings, public relations material (including photographs), interviews, correspondence about her books, and the manuscripts of Stolen Spring and Dreams So Fleeting.

She also blogged extensively about her observations and experiences selling wedding dresses at Macy's in New York.

some media i have consumed this summer that has influenced me and left marks on my life in deep and profound ways (a very long stream of consiousness list of reccomendations for people to read/watch/listen to that i do not feel sorry for)

STONE BUTCH BLUES BY LESLIE FEINBERG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! every queer person should read this book but especially butches, trans mascs, afabs, and wlw. lots of people are not big readers and i understand but my friends who have read this have all read like the first page and been absolutely sucked into it because it's incredible. for how intense and thoughtful it is it also isn't a difficult read, language is very understandable and it's not very long, i read it all in a few hours. also it's free online because leslie feinberg is the sweetest kindest parent to us all. remember her as a revolutionary communist. https://lesliefeinberg.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Stone-Butch-Blues-by-Leslie-Feinberg.pdf

Just Kids by Patti Smith is such a beautiful story and it feels like such a good book for any artist to read. i feel a little like the odd one out among my artist friends because my creative process is very different from theirs as a graphic designer and i don't create the same kind of art they do. it makes me feel like i'm falling behind in some ways, like i'm not as much of an artist as they are. it's something i've been thinking about a lot this summer, but this book kind of soothed me. maybe it's because smith kind of has a bit of an outsider quality, she was a poet and an artist before a musician or a singer, but she still had her place with some of the most skilled rock musicians of the time. reading books about musicians and artists really changes they way i interpret their work and listening to the album horses was so incredible after reading just kids.

hesitating to list Into the Wild by John Krakauer because i think chris mccandless is kind of a dipshit, but it still made me think a lot about free will and the earth and how we interact with the environment we live in. i had a lot of fun walking around my town and reading this book, i went on this epic walk to some places i'd never been before on foot while reading from this paperback. it gave me a bit of a chuckle sometimes because while i was reading it my partner told me how his mom thinks he should never go into the woods and how nature is scary. i also tend to think of it every time i am wading into a lake or a pond or river, the moment when i'm up to my waist and about to dive the rest of the way in.

Witness This! is an album by my friend's band, Tall Travis, and it totally blew my mind. they are a vermont/massachusetts based folk punk band, and i think they are so fucking talented it makes me want to put my fist through a wall. i listened to their album a while after it came out and was like holy shit i need to go see them live and talk to my friend RIGHT NOW, went to a concert of theirs the very next day. i keep thinking that they can't get better at making music than they already are and yet every album they release surpasses all expectations. my friend also wrote and sings a song loosely based on into the wild, it's such a beautiful song, and seeing it live felt like one of the most punk things that's ever happened to me even though it doesn't sound quite like a punk song. https://youtu.be/VE6w-LcUGbo folk isn't a genre for everyone and yet i feel like tall travis kind of has a song and a sound for everyone in their music. this are my two fav songs from witness this that i absolutely love, All Along the Riverside https://youtu.be/LUH4zOgs6mg and Fences and Laws https://youtu.be/sBstXES0tG0 also here is an article someone wrote about them! https://m.sevendaysvt.com/vermont/on-their-third-album-ascendant-burlington-folk-punk-band-tall-travis-embrace-change/Content?oid=38696552

the We're Having Gay Sex podcast hosted by comedian Ashley Gavin is kind of my obession. it's a queer comedy podcast where the hosts have a new guest every episode and everyone shares a gay sex story. sometimes it's not gay and sometimes it's not even technically a story about sex but it has taught me a lot and made me feel more comfortable and confident in my body, my sexuality, and my queerness. they have all different kinds of guests on the pod, they have youtubers, actors, influencers, comedians, podcasters, scientists, they have people who are queer, straight, ace, any perspective you can think of they have someone. it's really funny and destigmatizes sex and our weird human bodies. love this pod and think it's really useful when you don't really have people around you who you can have totally open conversations about sex with, it's like a little friend <3333

Happy-Go-Lucky is a movie that i watched with my dad recently, it stars sally hawkins as this adorable optimist making her way through a much more cynical world and interacting with people who make a lot of assumptions about her based on her femininity and her attitude. feminity and girlhood has been an important part of my life experience, but i'm also questioning that and learning to accept myself as gender fluid and trans masc (I THINK? SEND HELP) so a lot of stories about traditional femininity make me feel a little alienated sometimes. but i really related to happy-go-lucky and sally hawkins character and it made me hopeful in a lot of ways. this movie is not craziest most spectacular movie you will ever see, it's just so so real and matter-of-fact, and that's why i love it. also sally hawkins character is so intriguing because she totally shows you who the people are that you are watching this movie with, her voice and personality are such an incredible test. i personally find her so charming and cute!!! and i may be trans masc but her outfits are so cute!!!!! like babes i want that layered dress outfit and those cool tights

Misc Tag Game

thank you for the tag @ronald-speirs , @yeahcurrahhe-e @grumpy-liebgott @blueberry-ovaries @hesbuckcompton-baby @1waveshortofashipwreck @l13bg0tt @executethyself35 and @theflyingfin

Favorite place in the world you've visited?

I loved visiting Belgium with my dad last October. It was a really special trip we shared together seeing where Easy Company were during the Battle of the Bulge and we shared some really special memories together.

Something you're proud of yourself for?

Getting through everyday. Since Christmas it’s been pretty tough between work and final exams and it’s been super stressful. Luckily I have some really supportive friends. Honestly I’m just glad I got through the last month and that I’m getting through February.

Favourite books?

- Parachute Infantry- David Webster

- The Picture of Dorian Gray - Oscar Wilde

- The Great Gatsby - F Scott Fitzgerald

Something that makes your heart happy when you think about it?

My dog Finan. He’s the light of my life, no matter how bad something is he’s always there and he’s always such a happy little boy.

Favourite thing about your culture?

This was a tough one but I do love how much history Britain has. There are so many historical places from all different time periods and there are also lots of events held to celebrate/commemorate historical events.

When did you join the HBO War fandom? What was the first show you watched?

So I first watched Band of Brothers in about 2014/2015 roughly. I then watched the Pacific about two years after that. Then Gen Kill last year. I didn’t join the hbowar fandom on tumblr until last year though.

Have you read any of Easy Company's books? If so, which ones were your favorite?

I’ve read so many of them 😂 my favourite is David Websters Parachute Infantry. I know I’ve spoken about it before but he has such a way with words and describing the scenes, as well as his fellow paratroopers.

Favorite HBO War character and your favorite moment with them?

It’s gotta be my baby boy Gene Roe. I love him so much. One of my favourite scenes with him is in Bastogne when he talks to Renée outside the aid station.

My other favourite scene is when he does the whole ‘you’re officers, you’re grownups, you outta know’. That’s probably one of my favourite scenes.

Do you make content for any fandoms, if so; what sort of content?

I write fics and I make moodboards/ edits.

Favorite actor/actress and your favorite film of theirs?

I don’t really have one specific favourite actor or actress to be honest, there are lots I like and lots of movie I like.

Favorite quote/s that you wish to share with others?

It’s not really a quote but it’s a saying my dad and I say to each other when things get tough

‘It could be worse, you could be in Bastogne’

Random fact your mutuals/followers don't know about you?

If you're a writer, do you need a beta reader (say yes so I can be your beta reader)?

I do not have a beta reader. I sometimes ask friends to read my work but if anyone wants the job it’s open.

Three things that make you smile?

1) my dog Finan

2) long summer days

3) my besties @malarkgirlypop @georgieluz and @mads-weasley

Any nicknames you like?

I don’t really have many nicknames but @georgieluz calls me Jessie which I love.

List some people you love to see around on tumblr:

@georgieluz @malarkgirlypop @mads-weasley @ronsparky @samwinchesterslostshoe @liptonsbabe @liptonwashere @supervalcsi @iceman-kazansky @next-autopsy @holdingforgeneralhugs @softguarnere @grumpy-liebgott @hesbuckcompton-baby @heystovepipeboys @blurredcolour @blueberry-ovaries and there are so many others

What would you do during a zombie apocalypse?

I’d like to think I wouldn’t die instantly. I feel that I have pretty decent survival skills and medical skills so I’d last a while I hope 😂

Favourite Movie?

I don’t have one favourite movie really, there are a lot of films that I enjoy. I like war films, historical films, romcoms, comedies etc so I can’t pick just one 😂

Do you like horror movies?

I’m not a fan to be honest. The only scary film I’ve seen and liked is ‘Woman in Black’ and still I spent a lot of time hiding behind a pillow the first time I watched it.

Tags: if feel like most people have already done this so I’m tagging anyone else who wants to participate

If you've been following my blog for a while now, you may recall me posting about The Columbia Basin Pygmy Rabbit and the devastating effect the 2020 Pearl Hill wildfire (along with past and no doubt future ones) had on this rare species. Now, there's an update:

Fires, made worse by climate change, along with shrinking and degraded habitat, disease, weeds—there always seems to be a new obstacle in the way of the rabbit’s recovery. “We often joke it’s like a bad movie,” says Gallie.

Still, even bad movies can have a happy ending. In summer 2021 the population of wild pygmy rabbits in Washington’s sagebrush sea was up to about 100, according to Gallie. That may not sound like many. But it’s a lot more than 16.

Those 100 rabbits represent two decades of intensive effort by biologists, research institutions, The Nature Conservancy, federal and state agencies, volunteers, landowners and private citizens. And ultimately, the species’ recovery is more about potential for growth than current numbers, says Hanson. That means preserving and restoring high-quality, protected habitat where newly released pygmy rabbits and their offspring can live and reproduce happily ever after, even as climate change exacerbates fires and drought.

After the 2015 fire, a new mobile enclosure and release area were placed on land owned by Peter Lancaster and the estate of Paul Schuster. In March 2021, Lancaster and Schuster’s estate donated a 282-acre parcel to TNC, specifically for Columbia Basin pygmy rabbit recovery. The acquisition expanded TNC’s Beezley Hills Preserve and offered new reintroduction habitat that had not been ruined by fire.

In spring 2021, Gallie was thrilled to see a population boom in this unburned portion of Beezley Hills. With new generations of wild-born pygmy rabbits breeding on their own, Gallie says the wild population is approaching a self-sustaining level. “We’re getting to the point where we can [eventually] remove ourselves from the equation,” he says. Though an indiscriminate tragedy like fire could change things at any time, Gallie is excited about this localized rabbit revival. “We now get to see the positive results of our activities for the last four years,” he says. “It was worth the wait.”

AU where three years after the events of Gravity Falls Stan decides to catch up with Jacob (Kenz’s father) via phone call and finds out that his kid is having a difficult time coping with the fact that their mother abandoned them and is being a ten year old menace. Ford hears in on this and hears that Jacob tried to “scare Kenz straight.” (Literally, my dad tried to force me to watch Scared Straight in an effort to get my pda autistic ass to behave.) The two were done with their arctic expedition at this point and decided to visit Kenz around their tenth birthday. Spending enough time around Kenz gets Ford attached to them in a cute platonic fatherly way where he’s all like “Yep. They’re gender dysphoric and autistic as fuck. And dad is a piece of shit who would get them into abusive ABA practices.” (I know that given the timeframe of it being 2015 not much is known about neurodiversity, but I also like to think that Stan and Ford are like the number one experts on the subject given their experiences as kids and Ford’s nerdy science brain.) Stan scams Jacob into thinking that he’s running a “troubled teen industry” at the mystery shack with Ford for the summer as an attempt to get Kenz out of that shitty environment. Yeah. Kenz is a little sleep deprived menace to Dipper and Mabel, but doesn’t hate them or attack them outright. They’re just difficult. And Dipper and Mabel being five years older than them are all like Bluey is to a sleep deprived Muffin in that one episode of Bluey.

To really make this a Kenz AU, Bill is pulling a lot of strings behind Kenz’s sleep deprivation and autistic menace shenanigans. And he possesses Kenz to kill their dad when he comes and visits for a hunting trip. Yeah, no one has any evidence to convict them for murder and Jacob’s death is blamed on wild animals.

It isn’t a Kenz AU unless something completely fucked up happens to Kenz’s family.
