a couple years ago i had zero attention span, and i hadn't properly read a book in forever. the pandemic absolutely did not help, on account of i was working long hours & also dead inside. but in early 2021 i picked up TLT and it reignited my love of reading. and over this past year i finished 22 books :')
forever grateful to the lesbian space juggalos for resurrecting the ghost of my 12-year-old self, a nerd who had to be banned from reading books while walking between classes. (she wouldn't be very impressed by my 2023 book count, but she also had zero responsibilities and limited internet access, so. who cares.)
here's to a continued love of reading for all of us in 2024, and maybe some ATN teasers!

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.
