Theseus' Guide to Ruining a Perfectly Good Boat Binding

Name's Dream, howdy hey. I'm someone who just. Hangs in this fandom somehow. Theseus' Guide is if not one of my top, the top fanfiction in the Gravity Falls fandom for me. And as such, I really really wanted to bind it. So... I asked @stump-not-found for permission and got it for a personal binding! Here's the result [thus far].

More pictures under the cut! Including the special things I included. :] Some spoilers below as well.

I knew I had to do *something* special for these lines in Chapter 8. God. They hurt me.

I knew even before I began working on this wanted to include some of the comics. [There's more than what is pictured here!] But I had to ask how/where? At the end of the chapter where the doodled align to? Finally, I decided to add them at the end altogether. It felt like the most natural place for them to go.

The dust jacket! Given that there was no where cover art for Theseus' Guide, I had to decide on something myself and eventually settled on this piece of art by Stump. I'd rather have an image that depicts Stanley and Stanford and the kids as well- but hey! Something to consider if I want to replace the jacket or for Part 2.

Finally, the hardback itself. It doesn't have any detailing currently but the name, but I plan to add things. Currently, I have a project where I'm recreating Journal 3 by hand. When I get the brass metal plates needed for that, I hope to add custom 'gold' detailing to the book on the front and back, as well as the spine. But for now, I feel really proud of how it turned out.

It took forever to lay it all out in Latex and get it looking professional but I love the result. I might try my hand at a few other fanfictions I really love to add to my personal bookshelf. Hope y'all love it too! [Pst. @starstreampress just released their own personal binding as well, which people should *also* check out.]

i absolutely love 13 sentinels, and was disappointed to hear there wasn’t an english release of the post-canon manga, so i was really stoked to see @0ssianic translated it!! since i have a really difficult time reading manga online, i made myself a personal copy :)
