Potato

Maroon Oriole (Oriolus traillii), family Oriolidae, order Passeriformes, India

Mandarin Duck (Aix galericulata), male, family Anatidae, order Anseriformes, The Netherlands

This species is native to East Asia, but has been introduced into the Netherlands, as well as other parts of Europe.

1. Mabel has a whole ass fairytale in her head. She lives in her own world. Her first instinct is to see the good in people. She will always assume that people are good. And no one ever belittles her for this. They don't think she is too gullible or that she is too "pure". They don't try to shield her from the "real" world or tell her to grow up. They accept her, include her and in fact take part in her travels and adventures. She is not treated as dumb or a child.

2. Candy is Korean and has an accent. And yet that is not her entire personality. She talks to herself in Korean. The episode with the puppeteer, Sock Opera, she says to herself that she must steal him away from Mabel. In Korean. That was very important to me.

3. Grenda being the first person to get a boyfriend. That too a royal. That too her boyfriend being clingy. As a person who grew up bigger than the others and infact still is bigger than the others, her getting a boyfriend and her friends being happy about it was so refreshing to see.

4. Unicorns just straight up being jerks.

5. Lil Gideon's mother being shown as someone on the verge of a mental breakdown because of how her husband is.

6. Dipper having PTSD because of Bill.

7. Wendy being a huge girl's girl.

8. Soos being perhaps the most emotionally mature person in the entire series. He is kind and awesome.

9. The villain being the villain just because. He has no ulterior motive, he is not fueled by revenge or anger. He is evil and that's it. Being evil is fun to him.

10. My beloved cops. Enough said.

11. McGucket losing his sanity but not losing his brain. He still remains innovative and a scientist, even though he doesn't remember that he once was an engineer. No shit, he is my favourite character in the entire fucking show.

12. Stan and Ford's contrast reflected in Dipper and Mabel. One is street smarts, the other books smart. But still these two sets of twins cannot be any different from each other.

13. Pacifica getting a redemption arc but her parents not getting one. Because they don't deserve it, tbh.

14. Ford clearly being traumatized by Bill's actions. In the same way, Stan being traumatized because of his past.

15. Stan being a con man. He will always have my heart.
