Potentially A Hot Take But I Think Dipper Might Be The Most Emotionally Intelligent Out Of Both Sets

Live sibling reaction

Escape from Reality: “How did any of these episodes get in a kids’ show?” - my brother (different brother from last time)

Final episode: “Why are they acting like they’ll never come back?” - my sister

“Did none of them realize they could come back?” - also my sister

My brother (same one as last time) also pointed out that the wording of the Never Mind All That act implied people outside of Gravity Falls knew something was going on. Also, the news broadcasting stuff. Fanfic authors, we have work to do. We’ve been missing a lovely source of fanfic inspiration

Man eating rice, China, 1901-1904

soren- in a cycle of being “abandoned ”” and abandoning that he was put into and keeps perpetuating

ivor- filled with so much bitterness bc ever since a young age he felt like the world is unfair and that there needs to be “fairness

gabriel- keeps the lies going bc he feels like he is giving people someone to look up to and feel protected by, something he didn’t have when he needed it the most during the worst time of his life.

ellegaard- wants to be respected for her own merits and “be the best” but feels that relying on help invalidates what she’s done and that she needs to not be “weak” and do it herself this big grandiose thing, and make up for the lie with said big grandiose thing.

magnus- wants to “free” more than anything and he feels the most trapped in this life he’s in now

we all knew it was only a matter of time before this happened

KotLC x Gravity Falls AU! aka Gravity of the Lost Falls

all ideas were in collaboration with @blerpywatermelon and @sophisticated-crow , and you bet you're probably gonna see more of this AU from at least one of us :3

and here is the Pines family crest! i chose to base it off the portal because i couldn't really think of anything else that really symbolized the whole family - pine tree, shooting star, and all the other usual things would be too much to just one of them. i considered making it star shaped or bill cipher based until i had this idea

(the white bits are made of lumenite, so they glow faintly)

some misc headcanons

pacifica started working at greasy's because her parents made her. she was spending too much time talking to dipper and mabel and her parents were like "if you're going to fraternize with common rabble, you're going to work like one". they don't really care about collecting the paycheck she earns. they just did this to spite her for having friends and to punish her for it (joke's on them because she meets even more friends at the diner while working there)

after paz leaves home a couple months after turning 18, she goes and lives with susan for a while until she gets an apartment with dipper and mabel in town (theyre either going to a local college or getting their degrees online cause they wanna be in gravity falls as soon as humanly possible)

the Career headcanon i have for the twins + paz is that they start a paranormal pest control & problem resolution service. kind of like the ghostbusters, but not always ghosts and not always busting things. sometimes they just need to use diplomacy. either way, i feel like it's the perfect gig for them. it's a service that is needed in gravity falls, it's something the twins are well-experienced in, and it's something they enjoy immensely, too. win win win. dipper and mabel are primarily the ones doing the field work while pacifica is their bookkeeper/receptionist/general office person, putting her business degree to good use, but sometimes she'll join them on a mission when she's up for adventure

I made this for the trend that passed this weekend! I really just love the silly long choo choo show alright? And I think I’m finally sticking with an artstyle? I’m gonna go insane about it!! Get ready 😈

light mabel analysis just from the first episode of gravity falls

when dipper has just read "trust no one" she jumps out and spooks him to ask what he's looking at and when he hesitates there's a tone of surprised amusement in her voice when she asks "what you're actually not gonna show me?" which shows that they are really close and that he's likely never done that before

when she's hanging out with norman she says "daisies? you scoundrel!" and in flower language daisies represent innocence, purity, and cheerfulness. they are also commonly thrown at weddings

when she's in the woods with norman she's obviously disappointed that he's actually a bunch of gnomes but you can also tell she's deeply uncomfortable, for one because dipper was right and she feels she should have listened to him, and for two she was being taken advantage of! she's a 12 year old girl who got tricked by a bunch of men to marry them!!! and she feels like it's her fault for not listening to dipper (it's not her fault, sure she could have been more careful but that's exactly why they picked her )

when one of the gnomes latches onto dippers face she yells "i'll save you!" and punches the fuck out of the gnome. and when they are confronted at the shack she asks him "trust me dipper, just this once trust me" and uses the leafblower that she had earlier injured herself with by practice kissing to take out the gnomes, who she yells at for lying to her and for messing with her brother.

all of this just in the first episode alone shows who mabel is as a person, which is a funloving girl who cares about her brother immensely and also knows when to fuck shit up!!!!!!!! like damn!!! she's so cool!!!! and also a good precursor to irrational treasure, because had mabel not been silly she wouldn't have known to use the leafblower, as well as starting off they're mystery adventures by being what brought their first supernatural encounter on

Trying to figure out how I want to draw Gravity Falls characters

Guys….how about….Stan & Ford on the Infinity Train ?!?!! I’m going to make a fic istg-
