I never left Gravity Falls and Gravity Falls never left me
I was there, living my life as always, and then suddenly I'm back to 2016. I'm 26 again, working my way out of depression and all thanks to Gravity Falls. Thanks to a story that taught me how wonderful it was, to be the one to give importance to things. And if something isn't the way I want, then why giving a fuck? Why caring about something small, when life is huge, full of weird things and weird stories, wonderful people and things to discover? Why sulking, when I can find misteries in everything around? Why worrying about something pointless, when I can focus on something bigger?
This helped me in my dark hours, accompanied me in Canada and back home. In my mind, this series will forever be associated to a lot of wonderful memories.
And now, Alex Hirsch decided to prove me that hey, you never left this fandom. You will be trapped here forever.
And you know what? I'm fine with it. I'm fine with being still in love with this story and still ready to spend my money on the book of that little triangular fucker, because of course I will. I bought the special edition of Journal 3 and Lost Legends, do you really think I won't buy the Book of Bill?
So thank you Alex for this beautiful gift, fuck you pre-ordering websites for not shipping in my country, thank you Amazon for being the only one who does and fuck you for making me pay almost the same price as the book for international shipping. Let's hope the price will be lower when July will come.
And for you all out there: you can bet your ass this summer I will talk about this book and if there is even one single little thing that matches all the headcanons I put in AROMD, I will be insufferable.
So, please, Alex, please give me Flatland references. ALL the Flatland references. Give me Bill's past in all its glory. Give me the arson and the "misses home and can't return". Give me his friends and enemies and something about Kryptos too. Give me something about Bill's thoughts, about Stanford and about silly straws. I need more of that little triangular menace in my life.

i don't think some of y'all understand how significant it is that annabeth chase, the leading lady in an IP/brand as big as percy jackson, is played by a black girl. she is not some sidekick or comic relief. THEE annabeth chase, one of the wisest, intelligent, brave demigods and love of percy jackson's life, is played by a BLACK GIRL!!
but you're so hateful and caught up with book inaccuracies and changes that you can't even offer a sliver of hope for things to improve in continuing seasons, and instead immediately resort to wishing the show gets cancelled because they didn't do that specific thing in that specific scene in the books. makes me think there might be another underlying reason as to why you want it to fail.
and before someone starts, this isn't to say you can't have criticism, but if you really love percy jackson, why wouldn't your hope be for things to get better?
"i hope this show gets cancelled" yeah girl fuck you

By killing her mum in a mercy kill, she's doing exactly what the Ghoul did to Roger. She's learnt from him. She has turned into him. When she said, "I'll never be you," maybe that's not true. And in that moment, when she shoots her mum, it means so many things. It means 'I'm coming with you.' It means. 'I f*cking hate you, but I have turned into you, you were right.' It means she's letting go of her golden centre.
I want the audience at the end of the show to wonder if their hero is still a good person. I don't know who she's gonna be in season two, but this is what happens when you break the unbreakable. I don't know who she's about to become. [...] I'd be down to play it either way.
