My breakfast of one piece of 2 day old fried chicken and half a glass of milk will surely be enough to carry me until lunchtime
These are all the pages exclusive to the Barnes and Noble Book Of Bill, start at the end and work backwards, I couldn't be bothered adding one image at a time.
the trolley problem vs. systemic oppression: a comic.
Kudos to Gravity falls for making the most character to draw ever!
[ID: Gravity falls fanart of Bill Cipher in various poses on a beige background. Stars float around him. End ID]
doing perimeter patrols is a common but little known ptsd symptom, and i think ford doing it not only makes sense for him post-portal but also is a great way to force awkward, impromptu conversations between him and everyone else
it's time again for the ✨#ADHDCosmicTakeover!✨ my comic this year is about pinballing helplessly between interests and the frustrating feeling of being a "jack of all trades, master of none" (but who said i have to be a "master" of anything anyway? fuck off!)
thank you so much to dreamadoodles for organizing this year! pls check out the tag to see more comics from other contributors 🌠
I like to think there's at least one person in the Gravity Falls universe that's obsessed with lost media and old telephone product commercials. Imagine someone updating the lost media wiki on StanCo products and commercials. Trying to link all the different identities of Stan Pines. Only to find out he died in a mysterious car crash that left no body? Imagine the drama, the niche YouTube videos. The concerns for this person who's oddly obsessed over a decade old scam company.
Sometimes, often a lot of the time, the little things won’t fix your trauma. They won’t cure your mental illness. But a lot of the time, they can make the world a bit of a nicer place to live in. And I think that makes them worth doing.
So, go for a walk outside. Feel the fresh air. Feel the sun in your face. Step on a crunchy leaf. Smell the ocean breeze. Listen to the birds. Blow on a dandelion and make a wish. Watch the clouds and notice the shapes.
Do whatever little things bring you joy. They’re worth doing.
What's so interesting to me about Dipper is that he has no friends!
Okay, that's not necessarily true. dipper gets along very well with Soos, for example, and he's the twins' primary big brother figure for most of the show (we love u, soos!) dipper also grows very close to wendy, and in the end chooses to treasure their friendship more than he does any romantic feelings for her. he isn't lacking in terms of having important people in his life
but there's no one his age !
the closest we see to dipper having any sort of friend group is when he hangs out with wendy and his friends, which is obviously very telling of the fact that he wants to grow up, and he wants to grow up fast. consequently, he doesn't really want to be friends with them, per se, as much as he wants to impress them and prove that he's more than just a kid
(this is also contigent with his feelings for wendy, thematically speaking, but that's a conversation for another day)
along this train of thought is the fact that wendy's friends don't see him as a friend, either, simply because they are unequals out of age difference alone. this doesn't mean that they dislike him, in fact they're glad to have him around, but dipper's an accesory and not an actual member of the group, which is not necessarily a bad thing, simply that it's different
in general, the only person dipper interacts with in more or less an equal level is mabel, except her case is very different!
from her countless love interests, we see she has a very easy time interacting with people as early as tourist trapped, she is not shy ! she is not insecure ! she flirts, she giggles, she parties, you go mabel !
the most important element to this, i think, would be how in contrast to dipper, mabel manages to make a little friend group who share common interests and have similar personalities (candy and grenda)
this is not because dipper is somehow weirder and mabel the socially charming one. in fact, mabel doesn't enjoy a particularly popular reputation, and is thought of by pacifica as silly and childish during irrational treasure
from the very beginning, we see mabel and pacifica clash in a classic "weird vs mean" dynamic, with pacifica being someone who enjoys a favourable status in gravity falls (a little bit like a celebrity) and continuously antagonizes mabel, who hangs out with candy and grenda, consistently portrayed as weird and unpopular since their introduction during double dipper
regardless, mabel has no trouble making friends. she isn't a popular girl, but she is a social girl
you'd think that mabel, who has the wider support network, would be less dependant on dipper than dipper is on her
that's definitely the case in the valentine's day flashback shown in weirdmaggedon part 2, where mabel has a considerable amount of valentines, while dipper gets none and is mocked to the point of physically having to run out of class. he even hides his birthmark all the time because the kids made fun of him for it !
so it's very interesting that when we see the twins face the idea of permanent separation, it's mabel who doesn't want to leave dipper, not the other way around !
ps; pleeeeease send me asks about gravity falls i want to talk about this show so badly
do u ever send smth in a chat thats not even risqué like “i luv salsa” but no one responds so u start overthinking it like…. maybe one of their parents died making salsa…… maybe they were all just talking abt how they hate salsa……. maybe salsa isnt evn real and they have no idea what im talking abt
19M, likes Gravity Falls a normal amount
