HAPPY 10th ANNIVERSARY TO GRAVITY FALLS!

(click to see larger)

Back in Oct. 2018, my project for inktober was at least one pic from every episode.  Because of the pace, there were restrictions; I did each on a post-it note, limited coloring, and chose things that would fit the square format and that I could get done in time (between working full-time and owl-banding most nights).  I always sort of wanted to redo a bunch of those; but really, what occasion would merit putting in THAT much time and effort for a project of that size?

Well, how about for the 10th anniversary of the premiere of Gravity Falls?

I’m not saying this was a *smart* project to tackle, but I thought it might be “easier” because I had first drafts of most of the pieces; I just wanted to redo them so they’d look better, with 4 more years of practice under my belt and a new move to digital art.  (Narrator: it was not really easier.)  Some I redid completely, or did new to create the full sets above.  Basically, once I’d hit on this idea, and decided to link it to the refrain of “How Far We’ve Come”, I was committed; there was no way I was going to *not* try to do it.

I know that “How Far We’ve Come” gets fanvidded for eight billion different shows.  But, the first time I heard the song was in one of the first Gravity Falls fanvids I ever watched (link  below), so it will always be a GF song for me.

Gravity Falls has meant a lot to me for the past 6 years that I’ve been active in the fandom.  I have no doubt it will always have a big place in my heart. I’m definitely not done with things I’d like to do for it.  I’m so glad to see people coming together to celebrate this big anniversary! 

ALSO: needless to say, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Stan and Ford!

With today being the 10th anniversary of Gravity Falls airing, I just want to take a second and post a bit of the last page from Journal 3.

"And that brings us to you, dear reader. If you are holding this book in your hands, you hold something more than a record of the curious happenings of a town called Gravity Falls. You hold a record of one man's folly and the kindness of a family that saved him from himself. It's never too late to learn that growing old doesn't have to mean growing up.

Stay curious, stay weird, stay kind, and don't let anyone ever tell you you aren't smart or brave or worthy enough. If you have come on these adventures with us, then you are an honorary member of the Pines family, and your adventure starts today.

And if anyone ever gets in your way - well, we have an entire section on curses. Have at it.

For the last time, unless we meet in some distant world, this is Standord Pines, signing off."

HAPPY TEN YEARS OF GRAVITY FALLS💫🌲!!

Have you heard the good news of Gravity Falls?

So I know a lot of my followers are newer and possibly following for my Encanto stuff and I love ALL OF YOU, I swear!

But Gravity Falls has it’s 10 year anniversary today and that show was a huge part of my life back then and I just want to gush about it a bit.

I would have drawn something but I am art-blocking severely and have been for a month or two. But I don’t feel like I should have to draw something to share my love of the show and the community especially. You guys are creative geniuses. The AUs that were created from this show, the stories, the chatting and conspiratorial streak of discussing theories and meanings behind episodes. I loved it, Gravity Falls had (and still has) such a healthy comradery. I fondly remember the hunt for the Bill Cipher statue despite being across the world from it because there was just such good connections (but that jigsaw puzzle was something wasn’t it).

Part of me truely miss it, but it continues to be part of me and my life in even just the smallest manner. And I am hoping to continue a couple of my projects and finishing up some loose ends.

If you’ve never heard of Gravity Falls, give it a shot, I beg of you. It is enjoyable, dramatic and just such a great experience.

If you’re still here from the Gravity Falls days, I LOVE YOU!

And STAY WEIRD!

HAPPY SUMMERWEEN!

This year, continuing the GF 10th Anniversary celebrations, I decided to do a kind of tribute to some of the show’s minor characters through the group’s Summerween costume choices!  I’d be surprised if you can’t guess all of these, but I’ll put the key below a read-more below.

Also, bonus:

From left to right, above:

Fiddleford as Tyler Cutebiker (the “puma shirt / panther shirt” returning in the next season is one of my favorite little sight-gags in the show).

Ford as Dreamboy Craz.  (Going the extra mile with the dyed hair! Mabel helped.)

Stan as Dreamboy Xyler.

Wendy as Deep Chris from Sev’ral Timez.

Melody as Bud Gleeful.

Soos as Bats Biker.  (Annoyed at myself for this one; realized way too late that the pose I’d chosen for Soos and Melody would block the actual “BATS” tattoo.)

Below:

Grenda as Manly Dan.

Candy as Toby Determined.

Dipper as Farmer Sprott.

Mabel as Quentin Trembley.

Pacifica as the Mattress King.

(Background is a screenshot-redraw/adaptation.  Xyler and Craz are, obviously I think, based directly on their fun dance in Dreamscaperers.  I have a real soft spot for those boys.)

Happy 10th anniversary gravity falls!

Happy 10th Anniversary Gravity Falls!

And Happy Birthday to Stan and Ford!  And also Happy Birthday to Alex! And @eregyrn-falls! And me! (It’s been an eventful week!)

We’ll meet again some sunny day!

And they didn’t.... Because Bill is still a statue. 

But everyone else got together for a reunion at a secluded lake with a lovely view of the cliffs!

Headcanons for this: 

Mabel dyed her hair during quarantine and never looked back.

Pacifica asked Mabel to give her some purple streaks once they were vaccinated and able to get together again.

Dipper kept working out since his encounter with the Manotaurs because he wanted to be able to keep up with his Grunkles on future adventures.

Mabel ended up with more of a large, strong woman physique from continuing to carry Waddles around as he grew.

Dipper and Mabel both eventually needed glasses like their Grunkles. 

Ford finally got new ones and miraculously hasn’t broken them yet.

Stan hasn’t cut his hair since passing the title of Mr. Mystery on to Soos.

They both earned a spattering of white hairs to go with their gray from encountering (and running away from) anomalies around the world... And maybe from dealing with each other’s terrible jokes for so long.

Soos and Melody started a family. They’re not sure how many kids they want yet.

Fiddleford and Tate have mended their relationship and work on an invention, fish, or hike together at least once a month. Fiddleford made them an ice fishing shanty-bot and revisited his robot legs idea for long hikes.

Candy, Grenda, and Mabel are still best friends but now with the addition of Pacifica to their group.

Wendy stuck around to help her dad with his business and is still the coolest woman in town.

Thank you to everyone who made this show possible! I’ve met some amazing friends and super talented creators in this fandom and have loved every minute of mysteries, anomalies, and ciphers! It got me through some rough times, inspired me to draw again, and inspired me to write several hundred thousand words. 

(Since it’s also pride month, clicky the images for more/clearer detail and see if you can spot a few little references I added, I mean, aside from the umbrella basically being a giant pride flag.)

10 years is a long time, and.. I may have not done something big and beautiful like many artists but I drew the pic on the left 10 years ago and now to the right. All these years later is hopefully a show of how far we've come.  Also bonus without the overlay

Happy 10th anniversary to the most mysterious town!!!
