Lose sight of yourself

My favs love terrorizing children 😍👍

(Characters:

Nikolai Gogol from "Bungou Stray Dogs" and

Bill Cipher from "Gravity Falls"

- Summary for those who may not know GF: Bill is a cunning dream demon that makes deals with people and is able to possess someone's body if they agree to it and shake his hand. And of course he loves to toy with people psychologically-)

The background in the first few slides is a visualization of the inside of Nikolai's mind

I got this idea when I thought about Mykola's idea of freedom vs Bill Cipher's, and how they basically have what the other wants xD Canon Nikolai wants to be free from his emotions, his humanity, while Bill Cipher wants to be free from the mindscape and be able to access our world, in other words: physical freedom.

Bill is literally not human, not bound to biology, and probably has the kind of "free will" Nikolai desires, while Nikolai on the other hand has the physical freedom Bill wants- even more so than other humans thanks to his ability.

But in this one-part-comic Mykola starts out believing that it's merely his body that is the trap, until Bill Cipher makes him realise that it's not how it works. Young Nikolai in this AU viewed the concepts of "body" and "mind" as separate units where one (the mind/ soul) represents his own self and the other (the body with all its sensations and emotions) is a "prison" that his self is trapped in. However, in reality BOTH components are part of his real self, equally, and one cannot exist without the other. Losing one of them would mean to lose oneself entirely.

And well- that's what Nikolai decides to try, ultimately ending up with his canon goal:

"You're fighting against God in order to lose sight of yourself."

I hope this makes sense, I am very deep in a BSD and Gravity Falls brainrot and whenever I fixate on two things at the same time this is what happens😭

(Btw, Bill possessing Nikolai is not him achieving his ultimate goal, it's merely a step. A vessel is still just a vessel, and not physical freedom in the way he wants it.

How exactly Nikolai's body could be useful to Bill's plans is up to interpretation since it's not the focus of this mini comic xD)

We had SUCH a fantastic response from the interest check, we thought it would be fun to share it with you!

Check out under the cut for both the results and a sneak peek into the epic aesthetic planned for the zine with the gorgeous graphics designed by Mod Berry (this is Mod Jade, so I can gush ;) ) Enjoy!

How many responses did we get? 169! (Wow, thank you!)

When we asked how interested you were in the seasons theme, with 1 being "not my thing" and 5 being "super excited", 119 of you answered with a 5, 44 answered with a 4, and 6 answered with a 3- and no one answered a 1 or a 2!

6.5% of you wanted just a digital zine, 18.9% wanted just a physical zine, and 74.6% wanted both digital and physical!

104 of you wanted to show your interest by buying and 103 wanted to show your interest by applying to contribute! 13 of you were interested as moderators, 82 as page artists, 48 as merch artists, 48 as writers, and 54 just wanted to buy!

When it came to how much you would be willing to pay (in USD):

For the Physical Zine with merch, 58 of you (34%) said you'd be willing to pay $50-55, 55 of you (32.5%) would be willing to pay $55-60, 34 of you (20.1%) said you'd be willing to pay $60-65, 11 of you (6.5%) would be willing to pay $65-70, and 11 (6.5%) of you also said you'd pay more than $70.

For the Physical Zine without merch, 68 of you (40.2%) said you'd be willing to pay $20-25, 78 of you (46.2%) said you'd pay $25-30, and 23 of you (13.6%) said you'd pay $30-35.

For the Digital Zine, 142 of you (84%) said you'd pay $15-20, 24 of you (14.2%) said you'd pay $20-25, and 3 of you (1.8%) said you'd pay $25-30.

117 of you (69.2%) said you wanted merch, 48 (28.4%) of you said maybe you wanted merch, and 4 of you (2.4%) said merch wasn't necessary!

Your top 5 digital merch items were screensavers, colouring sheets, seasonal checklists, printable stickers, and a printable standee.

Your top 5 physical merch items were acrylic charms, sticker sheets, fake polaroids, prints, and badges/buttons.

Your top 5 stretch goal items were an enamel pin, an acrylic charm, a shaker charm, an acrylic standee, and a themed sticky note pad!

We had some amazing additional suggestions for merch, but sadly a lot of them would require a huge number of orders... If you really fancy a notebook, help us keep the interest high!

We asked for a vote on what other characters you wanted to see hanging out with the Pines Family enjoying the seasons! It was great to see the list! Many of you suggested fantastic characters we didn't even have on the list!

Soos had 144 votes, Wendy had 141, Fiddleford had 112, Mabel's friends (Candy and Grenda) had 87 votes, Pacifica had 76 votes, Bill Cipher had 61 votes, Wendy's friends (the teens) had 39 votes, Cryptids (like the Multibear, Sev'ral Times, and Giffany) had 7 votes, Melody had 4, Waddles had 4, Gideon had 3, Gompers had 1, and Abuelita (Soos' Grandma!) had 1.

And finally- the answer to the classic question: What is your favourite season? 19.2% of you said Spring was your favourite, 26.9% said Summer was your favourite, 15% loved Winter the best, and 38.9% said your favourite season was Autumn!

Here are some links to the wonderful fonts we used in the graphics!

Mordecai, sleep deprived with his New York accent coming out: Whaddya want?

Ghirahim: A partner with some GODDAMN EMOTIONAL AVAILABILITY!

Once-Ler: Oh, it ended very well.

Ghirahim: Do not start without me! Do not start without me!

Alastor: Okay, alright, let’s hear about the kiss. Was it a soft brush against your lips or was it like a, you know, “I gotta have you now” kind of thing?

Once-Ler: Well, at first it was really intense, you know? And then, oh God, and then we just sort of sunk into it.

Alastor: Ohh... So, okay, was he holding you? Or were his hands on your back?

Once-Ler: First they started out on my waist and then they slid up and then they were in my hair.

Ghirahim: Substitute teachers deal with so much shit.

Once-Ler: Ghirahim, he microwaved you a pizza.

***

Bill: A decision had to be made.

Mordecai: And you fucked it up!

***

DT: Oh, to be a bored heir to the throne who keeps rejecting marriage proposals due to being secretly in love with the cute gardener.

Mordecai: Oh, to be a cute gardener who secretly places roses in the heir’s room because they are in love with them.

Once-Ler: Oh, to be the palace guard who discreetly helps to boost the cute gardener up the wall for their secret deliveries in the middle of the night.

Alastor: Oh, to be the heir’s best friend witnessing the two fools dance around each other while knowing damn well that the two like each other.

Ghirahim: Oh, to be the noble suitor from another royal family who comes to know of their love instantly and plans an entire plan to get them their happy ending.

Bill: Oh, to be a medieval peasant who knows nothing about the heir’s personal life and who dies of dysentery at age 23.

***

Ghirahim: Talk dirty to me~

Mordecai: Inflation is a serious problem and lumber prices are at a high.

Ghirahim: Wha-

Mordecai: The economy is in shambles.

***

DT: It's pretty cold outside.. wanna hold hands? We should stay close.

Alastor, blushing: Okay.

Mordecai: It's fucking summer.

***

Ghirahim: Why do you not believe that ghosts are real?

DT: Never seen one.

Ghirahim: Okay, I mean, there’s a lot of things that you can’t see that are real.

DT: What can’t I see?

Ghirahim: You can’t see gravity. That’s real.

DT: Yeah, I can drop an apple.

Ghirahim: Fuck.

(average drunken conversation between these two)

***

Mordecai: I love you.

Ghirahim: Me too.

***

Ghirahim: Uptown Funk would've made it into the Shrek Soundtrack.

Once-Ler: That's the truest statement I've ever heard.

***

Bill, bursting into the room: You two are having sex!

Mordecai, not looking up from their book: Really? Ghirahim, why didn’t you tell me? I would have put my book down.

***

Bill, gardening: Hey, can you bring me the hoe?

Once-Ler: Yeah, sure.

*A few minutes later*

Once-Ler: Here you go.

Bill:

Once-Ler:

Ghirahim: Why am I here?

***

Mordecai: Wow, they really hate us.

Ghirahim: Yes, perhaps they’re homophobic.

Mordecai: But we’re not gay, Ghirahim.

Ghirahim:

Mordecai:

Ghirahim: We’re not?

***

DT: If I ever had a child, I imagine they would be a lot like you.

Alastor: Aww, thanks—

DT: Which is probably why I’ve never reproduced.

***

Ghirahim: Let’s watch Sharkboy and Lavagirl.

Mordecai: Okay.

Ghirahim: And make out during the scary parts.

Mordecai: Th-

Mordecai: The scary parts.

Mordecai: Of Sharkboy and Lavagirl.

***

Bill: Ah shit, I forgot.

Once-Ler: Forgot what?

Bill: How do you expect me to answer that?

I've decided to watch Gravity Falls, and I want to see if I can figure out the various mysteries without looking up any answers. I'm going to catalog my efforts to do that here on tumblr.

Going into this I've only seen two episodes back in like 2013 (the pilot and one where there's a pig) but I'm not totally in the dark about the show because there's a few things I've gleaned from cultural osmosis on tumblr. Namely, the bad guy is a pyramid man named Bill Cypher and also Grunkle Stan either has a twin or a clone, I'm unclear which.

I'm currently two episodes in and I've already discovered and cracked one secret code, and am keeping my eye on a couple other things. During the credits of episode one I noticed a string of garbage text, pictured below

Knowing this show's reputations I figured this might be a coded message, probably either a substitution or transposition cipher (since this was a code meant for children and those are "Baby's first cryptography" material). I put it in an anagram finder and got back 48 results that all contained the word "fjord" but none seemed like an actual message, so it probably wasn't a transposition cipher.

If it was a substitution cypher then there were three options that seemed the most likely to me. It was either a shifted alphabet (each letter in the message is shifted a certain amount up or down the alphabet, so A becomes B becomes C, or A becomes C and B becomes D, et cetera), a reverse alphabet (every letter is mirrored back to front, so ABC becomes ZYX) or a keyed alphabet (where every letter's replacement is randomly determined by a secret key).

If it was a keyed alphabet then I was out of luck for now, I would have to wait until either they reveal the key or I collected enough messages to brute force it. I tried a reverse alphabet first but it was still garbage text. So it was down to being one of 25 different shifted alphabet keys (unless it was multiple codes, like a reverse alphabet and a transposition, but I'd finish dealing with single codes first).

I could have tried each of the 25 possible shifts first, but that's a lot of work, so instead I focused on the two letter word. One of those two letters has to be a vowel, and there's only six vowels so that means 12 possible options. Only two of the options were real words. Shifting back two letters turned "wr" into "up" but the rest of the message was nonsense. Shifting it back three letters turned "wr" into "to," and applying that to the whole message made it read "Welcome to Gravity Falls."

With that code cracked, I moved on to episode 2. I hadn't paid much attention to the intro during the first episode but this time I paid closer attention, and noticed a few things (and then went back and confirmed they were the same in the first episode's intro).

In Dipper's title card there's some symbols on the wall that look like runes, but the only real rune is the third symbol. The others don't seem to appear in any actual runic or pseudo-runic alphabets I can find online. I'm going to be writing this off as purely decorative for now, but I'll keep an eye out in case these keep popping up as a symbolic alphabet, like the alien alphabet from Futurama.

At the very end of the intro this pops up for a split second. That guy in the middle is Bill Cypher, I already know he turns up later. I recognize several of the symbols surrounding him as being from the show. The shooting star is on Mabel's sweater, the handprint is on the cover of the book, the tree is on Dipper's hat, the lobster claw is on Grunkle Stan's hat, and the question mark is on Soos' shirt.

To the right there's a string of text which, when translated using the same alphabet shift code from above, reads "Stan is not what he seems." It also has the Konami code, which I'm just taking as an easter egg.

On the left there's a few possible number codes. In red it looks like something in binary but it's doesn't actually mean anything in binary. But if you convert it to morse code it could be either "sror" or "oksk." Using the same -3 shift, "sror" becomes "polo," which means nothing for now. Reverse alphabet shifting does nothing, I used an online tool to test every other alphabet shift but nothing came up. I don't even know where to begin working on the other two possible number codes.

The credits for the second episode had another hidden message. Using the -3 shift, it becomes "Next week: return to Butt Island."

WARNING: SPOILERS BELOW FOR LIVE A LIVE

I've been playing through the Live A Live remake lately, and I just realized something.

Lucrece is the Gravity Falls of Medieval Europe.

The first seven chapters pretty clearly established that none of this is taking place in a fantasy setting, it's real-world actual Earth from real life. A heavily fictionalized version of Earth, to be sure, but Earth nonetheless (unless I missed the part about the Bakumatsu when Sakamoto Ryoma teamed up with a purple-haired ninja to fight a frogsnake demon, a clockwork cyborg, and a giant koi fish, and yet somehow he couldn't fight off some basic assassins a few years later. :V)

Then you get to the Middle Ages and all of a sudden you're in a medieval fantasy kingdom straight out of a Dungeons & Dragons campaign. The characters all speak in iambic pentameter, even the peasants. They worship Gods, plural, in a time and place where admitting you do so anywhere else would probably get you skewered. Two of your party members are straight-up flinging fireballs and summoning angels, a certain kind of grass that doesn't appear in any other chapter is a workable substitute for modern medicine (granted, so are soup dumplings, castella cake and beef jerky, apparently, but still) and the land is infested with little knights riding squirrels, killer plants, dog-people and Actual Dragons, none of which is remarked upon or treated as anything other than business as usual. The big threat on everyone's mind is a demon living in a mountain, while most other countries are more concerned with warring with each other - not that we'd know who Lucrece's neighbours are because other countries are never even mentioned. And that's before Odio completely screws everything up and the land gets overrun by baddies from all across time.

In short, it's very disconnected from Earth in a way that none of the other chapters are, even when taking all the fantasy elements in those chapters into account. You'd be forgiven for assuming it wasn't Earth at all but some kind of alternate dimension. This is where I compare it to the town of Gravity Falls, because:

They're disconnected from the outside world - what happens in Lucrece stays in Lucrece. No-one outside of it has ever heard of it, and no-one inside of it has any care what goes on beyond the borders.

They're a magnet for weird beasties and weird people - people who still worship pantheons in notoriously ultra-Christian medieval Europe, for example. Or someone who'll just take his shirt off in public and give it to the local hero for protection. :V

At some point, they get struck by an apocalyptic event that leaves the entire place infested with monsters even more weird than usual, and yet that event is strictly contained within its borders, unable to spread. This might actually explain why no-one's ever heard of Lucrece, because Odio killed everyone who lived there, wiped away all trace of its existence, and was then in turn killed by seven time travelers.

The big bad responsible for said event has powers of reality-warping, time-transcending scale, have a misanthropic streak, and have tried multiple times across time to screw up history. They're ultimately defeated by a team of ordinary humans (and some non-humans) pulling together with the power of trust and friendship.

And this really has nothing to do with anything, but Oersted does look kinda like classic Tumblr Sexyman Bill Cipher. He has the same hair, at least. :V

i've been working on one hell of a project (decoding journal 3) and so far i'm working on vingenère ciphers and the substitution cipher that Bill writes in

i've just got past the scribbled out black page with red ink writing, and i looked on some forums to see how people took Ford comparing himself to Icarus- "If Icarus could see me now."

i was talking to my qpp about how a lot of people are just stumped by what he means by this, and all it takes is to have read Icarus's story.

Daedalus and Icarus were stuck in the labyrinth Daedalus had made for King Minos of Crete as a punishment. they worked together on building wings as a way to get out, birds as their muse. Daedalus warned Icarus not to fly too close to the sun- Fiddleford warning Ford about building that portal- and Icarus didn't listen, ending in his demise- which Ford's equivalent was getting sucked into the portal.

it just blows my mind. i love Alex Hirsch and how deeply he thought out this show

Journal 3′s Ciphers Decoded: Fordese Cipher(s)!

More Journal 3 decoding!

(From themysteryofgravityfalls)

This cipher, which is called “Fordese”, is what I’ll be decoding today!

As you can see, it’s a substitution “A=_” cipher, like Bill’s!

Using the key, I’ve had a lot of fun deciphering these messages. Note that I don’t have the special blacklight version, so there may be some extra in it that I can’t decipher.

I’m sure someone’s already done this, but I wanted to try my hand.

Here’s what I’ve been able to decipher. I’ll include the page they’re on and what they say, starting from the beginning. Apostrophes will be added to make some things easier to read, but they do not appear in the original messages. Other punctuation will be omitted, so brace yourselves for run on sentences.

Page: Inner flap of book cover Message: Buy this book

Page: CODES Message: I call this Fordese (Fordese nuts! GOTTEM!)

Page: Squash with Human Face and Emotions Message: Don’t eat him

Page: DO NOT LET OUT! Message: Am I me is he me

Page: The diagram of the portal Message: The portal when completed will open a gateway to infinite new worlds and herald a new era of mankind’s understanding of the universe plus it will probably get girls to start talking to me finally (Bro... bro I could’ve fixed him... bro I could’ve loved him...)

Page: Something is not right. Message: Fear the beast with just one eye

Page: MY MUSE WAS A MONSTER Message 1: Interdimensional chess isn’t fun when you’re a pawn Message 2: The devil has a silver tongue

Page: F WAS RIGHT Message 1: (written at an angle; almost upside down) If Icarus could see me now Message 2: Six eighteen

Page: The Blind eye Message: If my suspicions are correct this is the work of Fiddleford does he really have to go to such great lengths to forget

Page: Wanted poster Message 1: (beside his headshot) Rick was here Message 2: (below his picture) Return for bounty armed and dangerous

Page: The Oracle Message: The opposite of Bill

Page: ENORMOUS EXTRATERRESTRIAL CRAFT Message: Some tiny alien spaceship may have survived perhaps in the town in robots disguised as humans

That’s all I can find from Ford in this cipher!

He does write a message in a similar cipher!
