Still can’t get over the fact it’s been 7 YEARS since the finale of Gravity Falls aired ;___; Naturally, I needed to draw something for it. Even though angst is normally my go-to for this, I decided on a more happy but bittersweet moment :’)

I’ve been thinking about Stan’s sacrifice in the finale recently; specifically the idea that it should have been permanent, that it would have more weight if it was permanent.

And, here’s the thing. On one hand, I understand. It would have more weight. It would sit heavy in your gut and make you truly understand the things we do for family. On the other hand… Well… I don’t think it would be fitting. Not because it’s a kids show (as if kids aren’t perfectly capable of understanding tragedies), but because the show itself has consistenly been about defying the odds. It was Stan spending 30 years trying to fix an interdimensional portal built with the help of a demon and alien technology despite being a high school dropout and only having one third of the blueprints. It was Ford spending 30 years desperately trying to rectify his mistakes by going against a demon with unimaginable power no matter the cost. It was the kids dealing with countless monsters and people with bad intentions and still managing to win every time despite it all. It played very much with the concept of destinies.

Stan got his memories back at the end because Mabel refused the tragedy the universe set out for their family. Isn’t that such a beautiful conclusion to a show about defying both the odds and the expectations placed on you? Isn’t that fitting?

And I know people will say that it’s unrealistic. But it’s just. Look. I love tragedies. I love writing them, I love reading them. But I don’t understand people who say tragedies are more “realistic”. It’s just that. I think people don’t understand a really important thing about real life: Real life doesn’t give a shit about what you think should happen. Real life doesn’t have happily ever afters, sure, but it also doesn’t have constant misery. Real life doesn’t have stories tied neatly in a bow, it doesn’t have thrilling arcs with grand gestures, it doesn’t care what you think should be the conclusion to something! It might have impressions of those things, sure, but at the end of the day, things just, happen, in real life. An ending filled with kittens and rainbows is just as “realistic” as a tragic one. And as such, “realism”, or at least the way it’s used here, is not a very reliable perimeter when judging certain things in fiction, you know what I mean?

It shouldn’t be so quick, I agree with that. A total erasure like that would take time to fix. And I’m pretty sure it canonically did? But we saw it get resolved insantly in the show since they couldn’t just show us the whole recory without messing up the flow. While that might be frustrating it’s also understandable! I mean, headcanons exist for a reason, and I know for a fact that a majority of the fandom including me pretty much agree that it took a long time for Stan to recover fully; and even then he probably lost some memories permanently along the way.

But the point still stands. A sacrifice doesn’t have to be permanent to be profound. A story ending happily doesn’t mean it’s being naive.

At the end of the day, the show’s ending fit the tone of the show, fit the themes of the show, was navigated perfectly by the characters of the show and was recieved well by the fans of the show. It was consistent and true to the story it was telling. And isn’t that all that matters?

#shadow writing about gravity falls on the year of 2022? It’s more likely than you think #i literally just started writing this like 30 minutes ago with reckless abandon so if it’s not coherent #it’s not my fault don’t blame me #i just had many feelings #gravity falls #stanley pines #stan pines #stanford pines #mabel pines #dipper pines #gravity falls finale

I really like making myself cry don't I?

so the song "remember you" from adventure time has been on repeat on my Spotify for like 3 days straight and I just finished my annual gravity falls rewatch so this idea came to mind.

I'm picturing in the gravity falls finale after stan gets his memory's back he relises over a couple of weeks that it's not permanent and he's forgetting again and so he starts making little things for the family to remember him by when he's forgotten all of them and for mable he writes the lyrics on the back of a picture of him and mable (like in adventure time) and it's like

"mable, is it just you and me in the wreckage of the world..."

bc let's be honest it was just stan and mable. dipper had ford and mable had stan. so it would definitely effect her more than anyone.

now if you'll excuse me I'm gonna go cry my eyes out :)

I was just thinking about the finale and…what on Earth must have been going through Stan’s mind, in those few minutes we don’t see between the hugging scene and the return to the Mystery Shack? Bad enough to realize you are surrounded by strangers in the middle of nowhere, then to realize they all seem to know you when you don’t know them, and then to realize you don’t know yourself, either…and then, apparently, Strange Weepy Suit Man demands your clothes and glasses?

Like, I know why, from an animation standpoint, Stan and Ford were back in their usual attire by the second scene. I also know why the show did not acknowledge this switch back in any way - it couldn’t help but introduce the scene to at least some degree of farce, and while real life has those farcical interludes in the midst of tragedy, it would have just been in poor taste to stick one in *there,* in *that scene,* in literature…but I just can’t help but wonder about what it all looked like from Stan’s point of view. First this total stranger, who is apparently dressed completely inappropriately for the middle of a forest, declares probably-you (‘Stan’ rings no bells, but people keep looking at you when they say it…) a hero and gets weepy-huggy about it. Uncomfortable. Then in the midst of it, he asks for his sweater and glasses back, and after a five-second delay you realize he’s referring to your things and also, therefore, trying to persuade you to wear a suit jacket in the middle of an overgrown forest in the middle of nowhere, as if that made any sense….

Or maybe Stan complained about the crack in ‘his’ glasses and this led to attempts to explain that ‘his’ things weren’t actually his. Either way, though…dang.

So, yeah. These are the kinds of pointless details that keep me awake at night.

Gravity Falls Rewatch: The Finale S2E21 Weirdmageddon 4: Somewhere in the Woods

Aw man series finale, it’s been a long road y’all

Love that recap Soos

Pacifica and Robbie could be good friends I think

Those tapestries remind me of A Link Between Worlds

How much did Alex have to fight to be able to say “suicide mission” here?

“You would have seen him for the scam artist he is” that’s actually a great point ngl

Finally! The metal plate in Ford’s head came back!

“Surprised you didn’t recognize it” yeah it was different before huh?

The pain in Ford’s eyes when he points the memory gun at Stanley I-

Stan’s character development arc ending here is just mwah

STANLEY BADASS MOMENTS STANLEY BEING THE BADDEST BITCH EVER MOMENTS STANLEY BEING UNAFRAID IN FRONT OF A LITERAL CHAOS DEMON MOMENTS

THAT PUNCH WAS FUCKING SICK BRO FR AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

HELL YEAH BILL GET FUCKED DIE AND GO TO HELL BITCH

Okay I think the Stan vs. Bill fight is my favorite scene in Gravity Falls it’s just so fucking epic and cool I love it

I’m kinda disappointed that the Zodiac didn’t play a larger role in defeating Bill but the way it played out is so satisfying I almost don’t mind

The frown on Ford’s face when he finished erasing Stan’s mind I :(

“You’re our hero, Stanley” BRO I 🥺🥺🥺🥺

Aww Stan not recognizing Soos must have hurt Soos a lot :(

Tourist Trapped apparently happened on the second day that Dipper and Mabel were in Gravity Falls

The old mayor showed up as a zombie!!

Robbie’s parents still being creepy!

“None of us really understand what just happened, and none of us want to.” Lmao true

Blubs and Durland ship confirmation wooooooo!

HELL YEAH FUCK THE NORTHWEST PARENTS AND THEY DUG THEIR OWN GRAVE!!!

“You’re only going to have one pony now” okay so I guess Pacifica likes ponies (was she an MLP fan?)

I kinda want to see a spin-off series about what McGucket is getting up to in the old Northwest mansion

“Town hero Stanley Pines” bro I- 🥺🥺🥺 okay

Bodacious T stuck!!! I’m actually happy for Toby!

So if the birthday party is on their actual birthday, then Dipper and Mabel’s final day in town is August 31st

Gideon is trying to be normal!! I’m happy for him!

“I have everything I wanted” DUDE

Pacifica is friends with them now!!!

Dipper and Mabel got some thoughtful gifts :)

Soos gets to run the Mystery Shack!!! I’m so happy for him!!!

Awww that empty attic room makes me sad

“Candy and Grenda, thank you for being my people” the callback to Double Dipper I-

Stan and Ford both saying “can it Soos” at the same time they’re getting along again!!!!!

Wendy and Dipper are still close friends!!!!!!!! I love that for them!!!

The twins and Stan understand each other!!!! Even with Stan’s weak attempt at an abrasive facade!!!!

“Ready to head into the unknown?” “Nope! Let’s do it” BRO BRO BRO AHHHHHHHHHHH

Before the twins came Stan didn’t have any family but now he has his brother back and a good relationship with the twins

I love how the first episode started with a Dipper narration and the last episode ends with a Dipper narration I am going feral

Melody is working with Soos at the Mystery Shack!!!!

Stan O’ War II!!!

COOL END CREDITS LETS GOOO

Dippers 3 and 4 hanging out!

Grenda and Marius hanging out together!!!

Dipper and Mabel live in Piedmont, CA

Amazing show, incredible show, outstanding show, love it love it love it, even more then when I was young

#this isn’t the end of my rewatch!#I’m going to watch some post canon stuff and then make a retrospective post #bubbles rewatches gravity falls #gravity falls #weirdmageddon #weirdmageddon 4 #gravity falls finale

I never thought I'd say this but here it is!!

The long lost Gravity Falls "Next Time On," reel has FINALLY been found!

This right here is what made this show happen and the reason why every new Disney cartoon also has a next time on reel. GF's last big lost media hunt is over!

Alex Hirsch said that he was okay if this ever was to leak. So, if this goes down, blame Disney!!

chapter 4!! it's done!!! yay!!! [collapses in a heap]

alright so this was a somewhat indulgent one I admit but I've always really liked 1. viewing stories through a transgender lens and 2. the idea that fiddleford was the one who gave ford his iconic coat, which makes it particularly sweet (and agonizing) to think about him wearing it for 30+ years... and uh, hopefully washing it once in a while

updates are every first friday of the month, make sure to view as intended on Ad Astra Per Aspera's neocities page!!
