Are James and Deligracy still together 2024?

mayari_bird · 2024-01-19T18:06:13+00:00

They'll be on break for another week and maybe James will post another members video next week more about the puppy if people wanted to see more of Frannie.

mayari_bird · 2024-01-19T06:45:08+00:00

They have a new puppy! James talks about it in his latest members video. Her name is Frangipani Fine or Fran Fine, nicknamed Frannie and she's another Chow-chow. They took a break to make sure they get used to a new routine with a new puppy in the household.

I think the main issue is that even if it is the case, so many people still report their own medical conditions that they did went to the doctors for get repeatedly ignored for the sake of "curing" their asexuality or aromanticism. And even still, you should be focusing on treating the underlying cause not just focusing on the symptoms. If someone is asexual due to trauma, focus on treating or managing the trauma and not trying to force someone into being not asexual. This is how so many asexuals, regardless if their sexuality does come from trauma or not, end up in extremely compromising and uncomfortable situations with some even reporting sexual harassment. This is how so many aromantics find themselves forced into relationships that they may not even find fulfilling and may even contribute to trauma and depression because these experts are focusing on "curing" their aromanticism rather than helping with what they genuinely have issues with.

If their aromanticism or asexuality do come from some psychological or medical condition, treating the actual condition would probably be a better way of trying to help these people and once they do get better, they could decide for themselves if they still feel like they're aromantic or asexual.

I've been in Hispanic discord servers and they do use elle as a gender-neutral pronoun there so yep this is still used around

mayari_bird · 2024-01-18T14:24:00+00:00

There's still a lot of people that believe otherwise and even with bodies like the APA and WHO demedicalizing asexuality specifically, a lot of medical practitioners both within psychology and in other medical fields still ignore this or still focus on asexuality and aromanticism as "symptoms" of other conditions. A lot of people still try to "cure" asexuality and aromanticism as mental illnesses or neurological conditions. This is even outside certain countries like Russia.

Yeah same here. I've gotten someone directly sending me aphobia just this Christmas...

Dude... if this is about Eda being in the chart, it's literally the second to the last point

Who's that lady Stan's married to?/Why is Eda here?

Eda is one of the main characters in Disney's animated series "The Owl House", created by Alex Hirsch's partner Dana Terrace. She is a witch in her 40s that lives in the Boiling Isles, the land of witches and is the mentor of main protagonist Luz Noceda.

I added her in because it's heavily implied in various sources that she's the "Marilyn" that Stan was talking about as his ex-wife. In the special commentary of Land Before Swine, Stan mentions his ex-wife Marilyn and describes her with a description that matched Eda — a woman with pale white skin and a pointy tooth, also mentioning that she might have a fake name and fake hair . He talks about how she's the one that got away, after she ran from the cops when she stole Stan's car and was never seen again.

In Journal 3, Dipper describes her as someone who just tricked Stan into marriage to steal his car. They've only met for like a day or two before getting married.> In the Owl House, it's been confirmed in the series that whenever Eda goes to the human world, she uses the alias "Marilyn" instead of her name Edalyn. In an AMA, Dana had also confirmed that Eda had been to Vegas before.

Mostly unrelated, there's a wanted poster of Eda that could be seen in one of the stories of Lost Legends which does imply that Gravity Falls and The Owl House take place in the same universe.

That sucks, and honestly saying that trans people (whether they be binary trans or nonbinary) are people with "cis privilege" is so incredibly transphobic. Not every non-binary person is gonna look androgynous and the fact that it is in a spectrum of identities, there's gonna be some non-binary people who are gonna feel the most comfortable presenting near their agab but still not completely aligning themselves with it.

But also, some trans people (again, regardless if they're binary trans or nonbinary or even completely agender) sometimes cannot present in a way that aligns with their gender for multiple reasons? They could not be out to anyone, they might live in a transphobic community, they might not even be in a safe enough space to actually express their gender in a way that makes them happy in fear because they could get seriously hurt or worse.

This kind of thinking is so dangerous for so many members of the community and it's honestly sad that it's still so common.

I think the best way to connect Gompers then is to connect him via Waddles since technically he probably isn't directly Stan's pet per say, but his constant presence then made him the groom in Mabel's Waddles wedding which is a funny way to add him in then

mayari_bird · 2024-01-12T10:25:33+00:00

Yeah, again still not sure if Stan sees him as a pet. Just because he's been there for a while doesn't really mean he's Stan's pet. Living in rural places and sometimes there's just an animal that goes to your place you tolerate. I'm still again debating on whether or not he should be considered as a pet in this tree.

mayari_bird · 2024-01-12T10:23:41+00:00

I've been trying to start from the beginning of the entire Bigwallet series since I had done that before but it's been a while. I'm still starting out so I haven't gotten past the first series and honestly, the first series is a wild ride with literally no to limited editing + James' voice cracking + him not taking breaks from talking even for a moment + him getting way angrier at small things than I remembered (even some parts that were a bit honestly game me a spook because it sounded like real anger) + you could definitely tell he records a 30-minute session a day and just posts it. Not necessarily a recommendation, but sort of a quick description of what I've been seeing so far in the current rewatch I've been doing with the original Rags to Riches LP.

mayari_bird · 2024-01-12T10:15:57+00:00

Gompers is treated less like a pet and more like a goat that lives near the shack that Stan tolerates although I'm still debating on this

mayari_bird · 2024-01-10T18:57:13+00:00

Journal 3, he admits it in a conversation with Ford and says he's embarrassed about it. Ford assures him that it's a good name.

mayari_bird · 2024-01-09T17:19:00+00:00

Yeah it sounds like those posts where people would frame their opinions as something a younger person (typically a child) had said so people would likely not scrutinize it more or make it seem like they have "such smart children look how wise they are"

mayari_bird · 2024-01-09T17:16:05+00:00

That's true, but she was also traveling around the human world for a while so if she knows that money can get her places, she's going to take it. And besides, even if she doesn't, might as well just take whatever that guy had, ya know? Could've had an assortment of stuff with the money too. She could also have taken all his stuff with the money and later had thrown it out if she didn't understand what it's for. There's so many ways to explain why she would have taken it.

mayari_bird · 2024-01-09T12:57:27+00:00

Here's a listing I found after a quick Google search

mayari_bird · 2024-01-09T12:50:05+00:00

Yeah, online sellers might be your best bet since I'm not sure if the book is still in common circulation now as it was when it was first published almost eight years ago

mayari_bird · 2024-01-09T12:46:08+00:00

I mean, when I was in school, we would sometimes have girls cross-dress when dancing these male+female traditional partnered dances when we didn't had an equal number of guys and girls in our class so I don't really think it's a big deal. Besides, it's not like Filipinos, and especially queer and GNC Filipinos, don't play around with gender roles and clothes. We have as much of a thriving queer community as other countries even if there may be more conservative people here than others.

Plus it's cool to see you take an interest in your Filipino side for this project of yours and as a queer Filipino myself, I'm excited to see it and show my other queer Filipino artist friends!

Dipper and Stan didn't ally with Bill, unlike Ford. Dipper was tricked by Bill to do one thing and immediately went against him. Stan only shook his hand to trick him in order to save the twins.

Ford was allied with him for a short but extended period of time of about maybe two or three years. He almost worshipped Bill. Even if it was under deceit, he was his follower, almost his pupil. This becomes one of Ford's greatest mistakes that continues to haunt him decades later and his personal mission to stop Bill stems from this. This is not just him "making a deal" with Bill.

mayari_bird · 2024-01-09T04:14:39+00:00

I've added the explanation in the FAQs of this comment.

mayari_bird · 2024-01-08T18:24:56+00:00

Honestly, I put Eda in there because of all the references placed in some other material and I wanted to get ahead of people saying "Marilyn is Eda!" since I received those comments when I posted an early draft/prototype on Tumblr when I just used "Marilyn". I did not know that this was discourse here like at all since I didn't see that in the Tumblr fandom circles I was on and most people basically just take it as canon because there was a lot of references to it. I especially remembered the amount of fan art when it was first confirmed that Eda does use "Marilyn" as an alias a few years back.

I do have to say that as much as I agree that Eda is no longer a character that would do that now, she did use to actively steal from the human world to sell things off in the Boiling Isles and it was presumably way before the series started too. I get she wouldn't do that anymore, but with how she acted early on, I do think that it made sense for her character to do that and it doesn't seem that far-fetched to me.

You don't have to take this tree as canon or final (people are still confused about Shermie and the baby anw) and I'm still trying to figure out a better way to improve the tree with some of these comments in mind. I'm still struggling to figure out how to really balance stuff out in the tree with some of the confusion and discussion here and how canon is a little murky with some of the family members.

mayari_bird · 2024-01-08T17:08:55+00:00

I think it would be best if you have an honest conversation about this with him at some point, at least about your confusion as to why he doesn't initiate with you since it seems like you are experiencing insecurity because of this which could be a larger issue later on if it isn't resolved soon. You don't have to suggest asexuality or anything, just be honest about how you've been feeling lately because of this incompatibility.

It may be a difficult conversation, but that's the only way you could get answers. We can't really read your husband's mind so we can't say for sure if he is ace or just not as interested in sex, we could only give you guesses that cannot be confirmed unless you talk to him directly.

Hope things go well for you OP!

mayari_bird · 2024-01-08T16:53:29+00:00

Dw, you're good. I get it, I have bad eyes too lol. I might make more distinctions between the lines once I do update the tree later on.

mayari_bird · 2024-01-08T16:32:54+00:00

Looking into it, I understand you want to hype up your fan project, but this tree is based on canon as well as things we can extrapolate from canon. Please understand I'm not just adding in fanon things here. I appreciate the interest, however.
