I don't have that much to say about this other than his extremely confused expression and response to his mother asking for spiced tea is really funny. Sometimes it's these small moments that really make the characters and world what it is.

Just finished my third(?) watch through Gravity Falls. I love this show, but something struck me at the end.

During Weirdmaggedon, Stan is upset at Ford for never thanking him for rescuing him.

>Ford: I'm sorry Stanley, I know. Just help me fix it, please!
Stan: Fine, just do one thing. Say 'thank you.'
Ford: What?
Stan: I spent 30 years trying to bring you back into this dimension, and you still haven't thanked me. You want me to shake your hand? Say 'thank you!'
Ford: Fine. Thank you.

Ford says "thank you" here, but in a begrudging, not entirely sincere way. The brothers immediately start fighting again, after Ford corrects Stans grammar, ruining the rite circle.

At the end after they've defeated Bill and Ford's mind has been erased, Ford hugs him and says:

>Ford: Stan has no idea, but he did it. He saved the world. He saved me. You're our hero, Stanley.

He hugs him in somber silence. It seems to me like this is where he should have tearfully said "Thank you, Stanley. Thank you." The sentiment is definitely there, but he doesn't actually say "Thank you." This is still a really nice moment between the brothers and way to complete their character arcs, but since it was so explicitly what Stan wanted from his brother earlier, it really seems like they should have had Ford finally thank him in a sincere way to contrast the begrudging, eyeroll "thank you" he gave earlier.

This is at my parents house and it has been like this for years, possibly over a decade. This was a towel hook in the bathroom, and years ago the hook fell off the wall, pulling the paint with it, exposing two layers of old paint and even chipping to the bare drywall (I think). I'm not sure if it had wall anchors or not. Eventually my sister got sick of having no hook and added this crappy stick-on hook which barely holds a washcloth let alone a full towel.

I want to finally fix this for them and add a new hook or ring, but I am not very handy and also want it to be as simple and quick of a job as possible. My thinking is that I would spackle these holes, pull off this sticky hook, and paint over it all once it dries. I doubt we have the original paint color but I know paint colors can be matched with a chip from the wall. Then add a new hook above or below a little so I'm not drilling back into the same place where it's failed before. But I actually have no idea if that's the right way to fix it and I don't want it to fail again.

This is my design for my first attempt at a multiblock print. I'm trying to figure out how to turn this design into two guides for carving my two blocks. I'm not sure how opaquely ink covers other ink and what the best practice here is. I basically see three ways to do this:

1. Black over green. The green layer can be looser and the more refined carving of the black covers it up. This seems to make most sense, but I'm not sure if you will be able to see that there is excess green ink under the black.
2. Green over black. Same idea but the other order. I don't know if green would cover black as well as black might cover green.
3. Carve both fully. If you're not supposed to layer ink like that and have each layer fully carved to its final appearance, and the print order wouldn't matter since they'd fit together like a puzzle. This seems like a lot more work though and has to be registered more perfectly.

For reference I am using speedball water based ink. I know it's not very good ink and plan to switch to caligo safe wash when I run out of my speedball.
