I’m fully convinced that that wasn’t just the writers of @inkwyrmpodcast being Gravity Falls nerds
Imagine Citrine and her sister combing through the deep recesses of Internet cartoon logs and finding one about a strange and mysterious town called Gravity Falls made back in the ancient early 2000s of Earth (before Earth adopted the Galaxy Standard) and staying up to watch both seasons and once they got to the end of the second, frantically scouring the internet, the deep web, waywayWAYbackmachine caches for season 3 and then Citrine taking in a dainty, horrified gasp.
“What? What is it?”
“I just found a tweet from the creator. He-... he stopped it there. Never made any more.”
And then them just devolving into confused sobs bc in the future if your media is good enough to get a SECOND season, it goes on. How could a show as amazing as GF just stop after that?!
Because let’s be real, there’s all sorts of shiny things trying to grab the galaxy’s attention. Only the best shows/movies/whathaveyou get past their first few episodes. Some get cut off in the middle of the pilot because it’s just not interesting enough and there are a million more things the network could put on to entertain the masses and get more views on their ads.
But the sisters aren’t ready to leave Gravity Falls. Not yet. So they watch it again and again until they’re saying the lines along with the characters, until they’re acting the scenes out as best they can in their room.
They occasionally speak to each other in quotes, making constant references. But as Citrine’s sister started to drift further and further toward Mormonism and Citrine’s attention went toward studying how to be the best damn PR rep she could, the references faded and... stopped. Except the awkward sibling hug. They’d always have the awkward sibling hug.
