the REAL reason why bill wants to leave the nightmare realm: pollution
okay I know I said I wasn't going to upload full chapters here often but LISTEN these first ones are short. and I love being inconsistent. but do check out these pages on Ad Astra Per Aspera's neocities page if you want to see these formatted the way I intended!
went around collecting a bunch of gf scraps I don't think I've ever posted... both old and new...
the first pic is from a comic I'd like to draw at some point in the future, just a little design update/test for pacifica
this is spoilers for my upcoming comic but that's okay I think it works without that context too
idk man
(and credit to divorcedfiddleford for the video that inspired the first drawing)
giving additional context for some of these
3rd pic: So I have some very specific thoughts on how the "a better world" stuff all plays out but namely I don't think it was a.... painless or easy process trying to get bill out of both their dimension and ford's head. I think it's better if it's ambiguous
4th: more parallel ford including eye injury detail, he's in his 40's here
5th: okay now I'm really getting off the rails but please god bear with me. along the lines of "things probably didn't get easier right away if bill was still threatening parallel ford" I had this crazy 3 am thought of "oh man what if ford voluntarily had fiddleford erase something from his mind so he could come to terms with it Later when they weren't pressed for time." if the situation was dire enough for ford (say, leaving him unable to sleep or focus on protecting their dimension from bill) I think he could very well have been pushed to use the memory gun. then again maybe I'm insane
6: this is parallel fidds again sorry I'm obsessed with him helping ford build a fucking death ray to destroy bill
8: this has some dialogue I thought about when I was fleshing out jheselbraum for a waaay future ad astra chapter but I ended up cutting it. sad
ocposting again and I have to shut the fuck up about forrester because so much of the story hinges on nobody knowing a damn thing about him but all you need to know is he's like this
I drew this extremely quick comic back at the start of july, before anyone had gotten their books early, and I had assumed we were all going to be seeing it around the same time. clearly that's not how it worked out and I've already seen a couple of... things... (not to mention I'm getting it on the 26th- whoops) which kind of minimizes the point of posting this, but I figured I should at least get it out of my drafts.
anyway, I don't like that guy. but I'm really glad this show has been in my life regardless of any mixed feelings on the book. so... here's to everyone who still cares about the parts of gravity falls that don't revolve around the hot topic triangle
naptime. can't decide if they're getting a rare instance of natural light or someone forgot to turn those damned halogen lights off
