Thank You So Much For Letting Me Take Part In This Project!! It Looks Absolutely Amazing All Put Together

Went on a mushroom trip on New Years, saw this random image on my phone and it spoke to me. He is like a deep sea organism comb jelly copepod looking thing to me

Always so fascinated by my shroomy art, it's somehow even more colorful than usual and looks nothing like how it was supposed to, lol! Definitely going in my wallpapers folder

He will be in Brazil soon

Ten years. Holy wow. There are so many things I want to say that I don’t even know where to begin! But, first of all, I’m truly desolate that I wasn’t able to finish this piece properly in time; this was supposed to be a full work but unfortunately paired with my graduation, a nasty cold and just an overall busy year I just totally ran out of time. I intend on finishing this properly at some point, but for now all I can offer is the line work and the character flats. I hope you enjoy it anyway!

The really sappy stuff is beneath the cut. Happy double digits, Gravity Falls; I will always love you!

My brother and I have been close our whole lives. We first watched Gravity Falls together in November of 2015. These memories are some I hold so incredibly dear to my heart for so many reasons, but mainly because it was the summer of 2019 when my parents separated, and unfortunately also when my brother was hit very hard by puberty. He suddenly wanted nothing to do with me. We rarely even spoke because more often than not it’d end in a fight that brought me to tears. He hated me, and I could not stand it. I felt so lonely, so betrayed and, more than ever before, longed for the good ol’ days to come back to me.

Eventually, my brother’s destructive behaviour came back to bite him. One day I woke up to hear from some of our mutual friends that everybody had abandoned him; every single one had dubbed him a horrible monster and refused to talk to him ever again. He was completely alone, and, despite everything, I made the decision to ask him what was wrong. For the first time in years he opened up to me. We went on a long evening drive down the highway, just listening to his favorite music and seeing where the road would take us. After this, we finally began to talk again. He’d pop into my room every night just to say hello, watch YouTube and even asked me to teach him how to draw.

The reason I’m telling you all of this is because, during the endeavour, I was often reminded of Dipper and Mabel’s plight near the end of the series. It struck a cord deeper than I had expected it to when I rewatched it during this era, and it gave me hope. Gravity Falls was the last thing we had shared together and bonded over at the time. We created together, we imagined together, we loved together. The days we spent walking around the local track on sunny summer’s days musing over fun ideas for stories and fan-comics were some of the best ones of my life. So, you can imagine how difficult it was to feel like that had all been torn from me.

Nonetheless, just like the Pines twins (both sets! Happy birthday Stan and Ford <3 <3), we forgave each other. We’re best friends again, and I am so incredibly grateful for that. I can’t imagine my life without you, little bro, and I hope we continue to take on the world together for decades to come!

Thank you, Gravity Falls. Thank you for making me laugh, making me cry, making me think, making me feel and making me create. Thank you for the nights I spent curled up on the couch with my whole family, laughing and smiling together. Thank you for making me believe in the power of a sibling bond. Thank you for all of the inspiration, motivation and artistic growth (and being responsible for the first time I was drawing humans regularly!). Thank you for helping me bond and connect with my closest friends in the entire world. It is an absolute privilege to be able to be here to celebrate an entire decade of some of the best television to ever air. I know this show will never truly leave me; how could it after all of this? One day, I’m sure I will watch it again with my children, and then again with my children’s children, and create those memories all over again. And with each line, each frame, I’m sure I will look back to these memories. Moments forever frozen in time, where my family and I were as we should be: well and truly as one.

Oh man now I’m crying lol, sorry if that was a bit incoherent I am beyond exhausted (been drawing for like eight hours straight) :’D But hey, it came from the heart!

Adios folks, I’ll hopefully see you soon with the proper iteration! And remember: “Gravity Falls is real and it will never die.” I, however, am going to die in approximately five seconds. snzzzzz

Posting here 'cause I like it and it's not AU-complacent. It's literally canon that they both like awful puns and that is so important to me; cringe 2gether <3

Bonus:

He has trouble expressing affection

It's pretty obvious to everyone around them that Kaput's "list of people I don't hate" starts and ends with Zösky. Zoobooboo is probably just trying to put him in an uncomfortable situation on purpose 'cause she's a jerk

Hello, minuscule Kaput and Zösky fandom! You may know me as that complete stranger that performed a complete takeover of the Wikia and made it look less like it was AI-generated! I made like 80 pages in two weeks please validate me

There’s very little fan art of these two but I saw this absolutely adorable piece by cartoon_boom on Twitter of them in winter outfits and I absolutely loved it so I drew them! ...It was supposed to be a sketch. Oh well, I’m just happy I was able to fight through art block for a bit. Merry Christmas, folks!

Hey, I'm still alive! Have yet another ref 'cause Art Fight is coming up real soon 👀

This is my girl Deti and I won her in a huge contest a few years back; she's so pretty and so nice to draw and I just adore her. She was in need of a clearer ref so !! Here you are girlie :D

I like ya cut, g

Stan you can’t do that you’re gonna give the poor kid a heart attack

The stupid memes my brother and I think up at 2 AM hold a special place in my heart

Found this in my Procreate files! Funky experimental almost automatic piece I drew last year while hanging out with my buds in California. I had just bought a frikin adorable pair of cat squeaky toys and loved them so much that one became my muse for the evening :]

Sketch dump: Gravity Falls edition! This is like three years worth of stuff so apologies for the quality lmfao. Lots of mixed stuff here: angst, fluff, memes, something for everyone! And of course dressing up Mabel my sweet darling child I love her

I get the feeling someone’s already done the finishing each other’s sentences bit but I was not aware at the time so apologies! x’D
