It's Been Over A Month Since This Song Came Out, And I Was Barely Able To Finish A Minute And A Half.

OH THEY ARE EXES EXES

An animated comic based on the end scene from “Not What He Seems”

This is only the first page! See the rest    HERE   !!

So Gravity Falls has quickly become one of, if not my favorite, shows on television right now. Like most, the latest episode had a huge impact on me. I loved everything about it, the writing, the animation, the visuals, the voice acting, characterization, etc. There was so much love and thought and talent that had gone into every aspect that it really inspired me to make an homage to my favorite scene. So I hope you enjoy! And join me in pensive agony as we wait for the next episode this summer.

So I’m updating this post! I’ve been seeing enough people re-discovering it that I figured I’d take out the broken link and put the rest of the pages up. Hope y’all enjoy =]

also deciding to make stuff that 12 year old me would have wanted to draw

I love Stan's relationship with the kids so much.

GF emphasizes a lot of very real trauma in Stan's past. Everything from child abuse, homelessness, drug abuse, and survival sex work. And the way that meshes with Mabel being this truly genuine depiction of a weird little girl creates something that is very unique to the series.

It's really touching how Mabel just being Mabel heals Stan's inner child and the way he naturally clicks with her. The weird and creative little boy he used to be, before his father's abuse and toxic masculinity beat that joy and optimism out of him.

It's just damn good. It's a really beautiful depiction of an intergenerational relationship. And I haven’t really seen anything else quite like it. Because there’s also Dipper.

There’s this wall between Stan and Dipper that goes beyond his similarities with Ford and its gender.

Dipper is a boy and Stan clearly doesn’t really know how to handle that. He was taught that boys are raised in a very specific way. And like we see how Stan really struggles with his past, the way he talks about the boxing lessons in particular.

Masculinity is so deeply entwined with Stan's pain and it’s something he can’t easily unravel. How is he supposed to be able to criticize his father for 'toughing him up' when he feels like punching things is one of the only things he’s good at? It's fucking sad.

something something your ex/enemy/situashionship knowing the dead language of your people

post-therapy billford shenanigans, the idea manifested itself in my brain and i drew it out in 20 minutes

This is the one way that i can draw them i don’t make the rules

Cringe is temporary, gravity falls is forever. And the book of bill pages about ford and bill's fighting era made me INSANE. so here's a little ford post-bill's bender, realizing how badly he's fucked up >:)

alternate lighting version under cut :D

(Also, my commissions are open!)

beware the IMPOSTOR

What a harmless little creature! based on this

"Bill is a true gentleman!"

NEVERMIND DO NOT TRUST HIS CRAZY ASS😨😨
