#Happy birthday Gravity Falls
Text
Tumblr media
one of the most meaningful parts of gravity falls was having a positive brother and sister sibling relationship being depicted on screen in a disney channel cartoon. disney channel was like. renowned for its sibling rivalry shows where the brother and sister were constantly hating each other.
me and my own younger brother were always super pissed at those depictions, since we were (and still are) very close, and while we have our arguments like any siblings do, our relationship has always been pretty positive. both of us are neurodivergent and while we are polar opposites, we practically read each other’s minds and have too many inside jokes to count. we’ve cried to each other, ranted to each other, and struggled together, and he’s one of my best friends.
the first time i watched gravity falls was in 2015 at a friend’s house, my first episodes being legend of the gobblewonker & the time traveler’s pig. witnessing dipper and mabel being a perfect encapsulation of me and my brother, and mirroring our own personalities so well, i was floored! when i came home from that party, i immediately went to my brother and geeked out- “dude, there’s a show that basically has you and me as the main characters!”
this spawned our mutual love for gravity falls and subsequent hyperfixation with the lore, and a profound appreciation of alex hirsch’s love letter to his childhood. our whole family got into it, we convinced our parents and our cousins and our uncle to watch it, my brother and i got our best friends into it, and we even hosted a “farewell gravity falls” party the day the last episode aired.
gravity falls still is so important to me not only as a cornerstone of my fandom experience, but as a piece of media that depicted an earnest celebration of dipper and mabel’s bond as they approached adolescence, and seeing me and my brother’s experience be so aptly represented made a lasting positive impact on me.
happy 11th birthday gravity falls. thank you for the best summer ever :)

Sammery: It's June 15th of 2013, nearly a year since death of Bill Cipher, but no one cares about the demon. Especially today, as this is birthday of local heroes, Stanford and Stanley Pines!
Everyone is excited for the birthday party of the two old men. But one person is especially excited for this.
And this is not anyone else than the twins' mother, Mabel.
A small one-shot, made in honor of 11th anniversary of Gravity Falls and birthday of Stan twins!

Happy 25th birthday, Dipper and Mabel 🥳
It's crazy to think Gravity Falls itself is now as old as the twins were that summer and in turn, that same amount of time has now past since. Though we may all grow old as time goes on, our love for them and Gravity Falls will never end!
It's been quite a summer. From the Book of Bill, the website, Gravity Falls having a resurgence in popularity not seen since it ended and so much more. It's been an incredible adventure to see and like every summer, we end it celebrating the birthday of, to quote Alex Hirsch, "the cartoon babies that live in my brain."
I say it every year, but who knows what is to come till the next summer (ours...not GF's as that's not happening, lol). Will we get a new Gravity Falls book announced with BoB's success showing Disney it's worth it? Will Alex Hirsch's Netflix projects finally get out of development hell and happen? Will I still be here? Will Gravity Falls' fandom still be as thriving or will it decline back to the semi popular state it was before? Who knows. But whatever happens next, I am grateful to have experienced yet again a chance to see the GF fandom feel like it was alive again to the same extent as if a new episode was airing.
I was not here for those days. I barely got to experience that in 2018 with Lost Legends. So, in a large sense, this whole experience was as new for me, a now 7 year long member of the fandom, as it was for a fan who just joined this summer. Despite the ups and downs, I'll take these memories with me and cherish them for many years to come and till the end. From the book of Bill PR, the codes and deciphering them, helping Alex Hirsch curb leaks (I'll discuss that in a future video, lol), waiting for the website to reveal its secrets and more. It's been amazing.
Happy birthday, Dipper and Mabel. Here's to another great summer and for another amazing season of memories made.
Gravity Falls is real and it will NEVER die!
