Been remaking old transparents as well as making new ones, trying to make them as clean as possible (no discernable background colors in the transparent). Story For Steven transparents, Young Greg edition. Bonus as there were one too many for a photoset of 10

Sweater Twins collaboration! 

There’s a couple of stories leading up to this.

Last week, I saw this post:

Well, that looked like a Mabel sweater to me!    And the idea of her making it for Ford charmed me.  As did the idea of him trying to make his hand approximate the four spikes of a thagomizer, thanks to the suggestion of @randomitemdrop​ above (i.e. the spikes on the end of a stegosaurus’s tail.  That’s… that’s what he’s trying to do, I swear. He’s concentrating on holding his fingers in four distinct spikes.  I tried it myself; taking a pic of my own hand is what I used for a photo ref, though obvs I had to insert another finger in the middle.)

Mabel’s sweater, meanwhile… I had saved this pic of an Issey Miyake sweater  (beneath the cut) about four years ago, intending to do a pic of her wearing it, because I thought it looked neat. Having decided to give Ford the stegosaurus sweater, I pulled out this other design at long last for Mabel.  (And yes, her pose was inspired by the Will Smith gesturing meme.)

Everyone is like "Dipper and Mabel are actually identical twins and Dipper is trans" but actually what if Mabel was trans

Do you think bill and hunter would get along?

this is as far as i could manage to get my brain is a little eeuuhhhhh today

i think Bill would see Hunter as having a lot of entertaining potential one way or another. I think Hunter would be more than a little conflicted about Bill and infinite knowledge

fiddleford's middle name is "hadron". the term "hadron" was coined in 1962 and, according to google ngram viewer, didn't really take off until 1965 (in terms of replacing the previous term "strongly interacting particle"). according to the gravity falls wiki fiddleford is 72 years old in 2012, meaning he was born in 1940 or -41, a full two decades before the word was invented. even if the specific age of 72 is inaccurate, he must have been born at the latest in 1957 in order to have attended backupsmore university with stanford in 1975. fiddleford's parents absolutely did not give him the name hadron. fiddleford gave himself the name at age 21-ish. fiddleford hadron mcgucket is transgender. happy friday

fiddleford winning 1st place in transgender. most trans guy of all time.

I had this idea years ago and started, but put on the back burner until I forgot about it. Anyways to pass my break time I started working on this again from scratch (Since I haven't received any commissions lately.) Would you play this game? Or more specifically, would Alex Hirsch approve?

Gravity Falls: Clues

The story: Preston Northwest's body has been found at the mystery Shack. Knowing how terrible the sherif is at his job, the mystery team take it on themselves to solve this... travesty?

Tell me what you think!

I love the implication that Ford was still writing parts of the journal right as Weirdmageddon was starting up. Like he's writing it as him and Dipper are running through the woods together, trying to keep hidden as Bill's weirdness takes over the town.

listening to Gravity Falls episode commentaries is great. Alex Hirsch nearly worked himself to death constantly. Grunkle Stan was nearly voiced by Matt Chapman of Homestar Runner. Literally nothing aside from the twist about Stan having a twin was planned more than a few episodes in advance. The zodiac wheel meant nothing and consisted of random symbols from the first 7 episodes because the intro was animated after those were done. Alex came up with the term “search for the blind eye” to be an extra bit for the between-season shorts before deciding to actually have a payoff for that setup and writing Society of the Blind Eye. Bill was meant to be a joke character and when Alex suggested that he be a real villain Michael Rianda responded “You, my friend, have lost the plot.” Bill getting one episode in the spotlight was basically chance and he only became the main villain of season 2 because he was so popular with the fans. The reveal of the portal at the end of season 1 was suggested by Mike without thinking it through and he left before the next season and the other writers were SO ANNOYED after that went through because they somehow had to keep that plot going for the 10 episodes it’d take to actually pay off. I am genuinely astonished that this show came together as well as it did at all.
