Prompt-based fandom events are when you really learn everyone’s colors like you’ll find the people who take the prompt “death” and come up with some smarmy ship-art of character A and character B walking over dead leaves while wearing scarves and drinking hot cider and then you’ll find the people who take the prompt “sunshine” and write how a bright glint of sunshine reflected off the barrel of a gun is the absolute last thing character A sees before taking a bullet to the chest
you can lead a content creator to water but you sure as fuck can’t make him drink
True
The Answer was a great episode! And I did notice something.
While on Homeworld, all the gems are shown in monochrome (the rubies are all shades of red, sapphire is all shades of blue). They’re uniform. Singular.
This pallet even affects Rose and Pearl, who have since defected from Homeworld.
In fact, the first show of any character displaying more than one shade of any color is Garnet. The fusion. The abomination in the eyes of Homeworld society. Garnet breaks the monochrome, the conformity, of Homeworld. As a mix of two different gems, she is literally the first fusion of her kind, and an anomaly.
As soon as Ruby and Sapphire fall to earth, they break the monochrome as well. While they’re still shades of their respective colors, they’re no longer the uniform slate of red and blue- they have darks and lights mixed in with their pallets. They no longer fit the uniform.
Even Pearl and Rose follow the same rule. On Homeworld, they are monochrome, and on Earth, they begin to show more of their colors.
Homeworld represents unity, and conformity. Every gem serves homeworld as a whole, and there is virtually no distinction between gems of the same kind. Earth represents individualism and rebellion, and breaking free of the societal norms.
long story short: I really liked the art direction that went into this, and the thought behind it.
I recommend this movie more than I recommend air.

I have a small favor to ask as I am v confused rn but could you post a brief description of the various gravity falls aus cus I know the names but I don't know what they're about so if you could inform me I'd be grateful please and thanks love~
Okay, this might take a bit.
TranscendenceAU -
Essentially, when Bill fails the apocalypse and is dying, hemakes one last desperate attempt to survive by trying to posses Dipper withouthis permission. Dipper fights back and by a hair’s chance manages to push theweakened Bill from his mind, killing the demon. Only, Bill has already rootedhimself too deeply into Dipper and all of Bill’s power remains in Dipper,turning him into a demon and forcing him out of the physical plain. Because ofhis human origin, Dipper is the only demon capable of becoming physical withouta rift, although it takes a while for him to figure out how. Now, while Billwas stopped from destroying the world, it was at the cost of the Transcendence.Pretty much the entire world becomes as magical as Gravity Falls and even moredangerous. Dipper becomes known as the demon Alcor and Mabel is his partner incult bashing partner Mizar. There’s a lot of world building (reincarnation,prejudice against non-humans, monsters in everyday life, thousands of years asAlcor, Uncle Dipper, angels, other demons, awesome new characters, etc…) andoverall, the blog is its own fandom that is constantly contributed to. TAU isthe largest, most organized, and highest quality AU that I have ever seen. It’shuge. And fantastic.
Here’sa longer summary. This is itswiki. ItsTVtropes page.
DemonicGuardians AU -
Here’sthe main comic behind it. Demons’ can have one human that if theybond with and protect, will make the demon stronger. There’s a catch though. Ifthe human dies, a part of the demon does too. The stronger the bond betweendemon and human, the more damage will be inflicted on the demon when the humandies. Not all humans have a demon, and not all demons have a human. A bunch ofthe cast of GF have demonic guardians, each character having a different levelof bond. Bill Cipher is Dipper’s guardian. Mabel’s is Dot Matrix (used to benamed Tad Strange; might recognize him as the square with the bowler hat).Gideon’s is Kryptos (the star on top his tent). Stanley has Pi Mo (looks kindalike a coin). Pacifica’s is the Lumberjack Ghost. There’s a whole lot of fanmade demons too. The creator isreally cool. Outside of Demonic Guardians AU, she’s made the Danny Phantomcrossover: YouSmell Like Death, the Over the Garden Wall crossover: GardenFalls, and her own really good comic: The Boy Who Fell.
MonsterFalls -
Dipper finds a magic stream called FluviusCantatis, some stuff happens, and everyone in the town gets turnedinto monsters. Dipper’s a Deertaur, Mabel’s a mermaid, Wendy’s a werewolf,Stanley’s a Gargoyle, Stanford’s a sphinx, Gideon’s a vampire, Robbie’s azombie, Soos is a clay homonculus/golem, Pacifica’s a gorgon, Bill’s…humanlike, etc… This AU is mostly fan art and fanfiction. Sometimes the monsterthat a character is turned into is different, but this list is what they’remost commonly depicted as.
Reverse Falls -
I have no idea where this AU came from??? All thecharacters in this have swapped rolls and personalities. Gideon Pines is a kidvisiting Gravity Falls with his cousin/best friend Pacifica Pines(orSoutheast). While there, they meet the psychic twins Mabel and Dipper Gleefulwho run the Tent of Telepathy. The twins are much darker and more powerful thanGideon from Gravity Falls. Will Cipher is an easily terrified Demon who justwants the twins to leave him alone. All the other character’s changes depend onthe artist/writer. Robbie and Wendy usually swap.
RelativityFalls -
This is essentially an age/generation swap. Twins Stanleyand Stanford go to spend the summer with their Grauntie Mabel. The main switchesare Mabel with Stanley, Dipper with Stanford, Wendy with Dan, Gideon with Bud, Pacificawith Preston, Abuelita(Maria) with Soos, etc… Most of the show is the same,with a few twists and the added personality of having a different character inwhatever situation.
Anti-GravityAU -
Though not to be mistaken for Relativity Falls, Anti-Gravityis also an age swap. Wendy and Soos are young kids who find Journal 3. Mabeland Dipper are teenagers who work for Grunkle Stan at the Mystery Shack.Pacifica has Robbie’s role (dating Dipper, to Wendy’s jealousy). Bud Gleefultakes Gideon’s place as Wendy and Soos’s enemy. Robbie is Soos’s bully. Otherthan that, all characters stay the same.
ReunionFalls -
Dipper and Mabel are separated at birth: Mabel growing upwith their parents in California and Dipper being raised by Grunkle Stan.Eventually, Mabel finds out about Dipper and runs off to Gravity Falls to meethim. Without a twin, Mabel, while still bright and cheerful, is less out goingwhile Dipper, growing up with Wendy and Stan as role models, is moreconfident. The AU is the twins getting to know each other and bonding.
OnlyChild AU -
Mabel is stillborn, making Dipper an only child. Because ofhis parent’s ever growing grief over losing a child, Dipper is often neglected.Dipper has the same personality as cannon, but it’s buried under self-worth issues,survivor’s guilt, need to be loved, and shyness. He’s a sad child who reallyjust needs a hug. He also knits sweaters; he always wears the red one he made(it looks a bit like Ford’s). The AU is Dipper’s stay at Gravity Falls withStan and eventually reaches to him growing up and gaining a little sister, babyMabel (who both he and his parent’s adore). The AU is all art right now, butthe creator is eventually going to make a fic for it.
Fright Falls -
Mabel gets turned into a vampire.Dipper gets turnedinto a werewolf. The AU is their adventures as creatures of thesupernatural. There’s a lot of cool art for the AU.
ImmortalPines AU -
Immortal Pines is a comic where Bill kills Mabel and Dipper,only to realize that it wasn’t what he wanted. He brings the twins back to lifeand makes them immortal by infusing them with his power. This means that theyonly exist in the dreamscape. The AU is them trying to get back to normalbefore they become too much like Bill. The artist is cool.
TwinDemons AU -
Mabel and Dipper are the Demons, while Bill ‘Billi’ is the12 year old human. Billi is an innocent, if lacking common sense, kid who’scome to Gravity Falls to stay with his Grunkle Stan. The twins are demons withbig plans that involve Billi, much to his horror.
BlindedAU
The Society of the Blind Eye doesn’t wipe Dipper’s memoriesof the supernatural, they wipe all his memory. The Society takes him in,indoctrinating him into their ways. Bill visits and uses Dipper as a spy. TheAU is an amnesic Dipper living with only the Society and Bill as company.
ApocalypseFalls
Mabel’s decision in Not What He Seems has catastrophicdamage on Gravity Falls. The Shack is destroyed and many peopleundergo….changes: physical, mental, even death. Dipper gains wings whileMabel’s mind spirals into madness. The AU just got rebooted, so the story-lineis unknown at the moment.
GravityRises -
Another swap AU, this time between personality and symbols.Mabel is Pine Tree, the intellectual and mystery obsessed twin. Dipper isShooting Star, the laid back and creative one. Stan and Ford switch. Pacificatakes Gideon’s role as Crescent Moon, the leader of the Order of the CrescentEye (Bill’s cult). She’s a sociopath and the main antagonist. Gideon takesPacifica’s role as Lone Wolf, the rich kid turned anti-hero. Terrifying withhis magic, even Bill is wary of Gideon. It’s a cool AU that’s very differentfrom the show even though it’s partially a personality swap.
Joseon AU -
An AU where Gravity Falls takes place in the Joseon Kingdomin Korea. Everyone wears traditional clothing of the time period and place ofthe Joseon Kingdom. The AU is mostly fan art.
Coven AU -
Mabel and Dipper are the apprentices of Grunkle Stan in awold where magic is common. Bill’s a magic cat.
GravityKeys -
In this AU, Gravity Falls is set in Key West, Florida. Mabelhas a chicken instead of a pig, but other than that, most things stay the same.
ChurchAU -
It’s Gravity Falls, but in a church. Bill is a demon. Billis in the Church. Dipper is just so angry at Bill. Things don’t go well.
Kitten DipperAU -
Dipper finds a comb that has a cat shaped handle. When hebrushes his hair with it, he gets turned into a kitten! The AU is Dipper thecat.
CarnivàleFalls
It’s the 1930s. Mabel and Dipper go to stay with theirGrunkle Stan at his traveling freak show. Gideon is a faith healer. The DustBowl is a problem.
SpyAU -
Stan and Ford are spys with Fiddleford building theirgadgets. They’re trying to take down the Cipher Organization.
CampCipher -
Gravity Falls, but as a summer camp. The teens arecounselors while all the kids are campers. Nice art.
Never Human AU
Stanley Pines was stillborn, replaced with a Fae orChangeling. When in Fae mode, Stan had six glowing green eyes. There’s someangst of Stan learning to deal with the fact that he’s a monster and notactually related to his family. It’s later revealed that Dipper is also Fae,which really freaks him out. Mabel is super accepting, so everything turns outfine. It’s a really great AU with fantastic fics and art.
GhostStan AU -
Stan is a level 10 ghost. It’s awesome, and Stanley makes agreat ghost. There’s a lot of sad. Stan’s dead. The AU has a whole bunch offanfiction and fanart.
JomlAU/Grim AU -
Stanley befriends the Grim, omen of death. As soon as Ford finds out what Stan’s done he freaks out because, well, Stanley has the omen of death as his pet. Really cute and funny AU. Got some angst too though. Also, Stan makes his own journal.
Frankenstan AU -
Stanley dies pre-portal opening. Ford, being the idiot that he is, bring Stan back to life Frankenstein style with the help of Fiddleford. This includes digging up Stan’s body. It’s also got a mystery trio vibe going for it.
Y'all ever think that the reason we ship fictional characters together is that the actual characters we love so much will never be able to meet us and return the feeling so we project our love into the ship and thus continue our obsession. Same with real people too. Like celebrities we’ll never be able to meet for more then like five minutes so they can’t truly know us as a person like a close friend or family member so we just… ship them with someone else/each other so we get some sense of love from them.

Stretch marks or scars?
You’re a supernova!
Freckles, moles, acne, or acne scars?
You are a star cluster!
Birthmarks or vitiligo?
You’re covered in nebulae!
All of the above?
You’re a galaxy!
All of these things are eye catching, gorgeous, and important. You are too. You are your own part of the universe.
If you haven’t heard already, the fcc has admitted to not caring about the 22 million emails they’ve received unless they were in ‘legal terms’ meaning unless you talked like a lawyer who specializes in this specific category, they ignored your email. It doesn’t look like they plan on changing their mind, no matter what we do. As hopeless as that sounds, we might still have a way to fight back. I’ve heard a few states are trying to make Internet access a state provided utility like electricity and water. If that happens, companies like Verizon would take massive blows. Spread the word, if we can convince our local governments to make internet a state provided utility, it would help not only to sway the votes, but help preserve the Internet in general. I’m posting this on multiple fandoms because the net neutrality tag gets censored. Remember, without net neutrality your fandom will be completely destroyed.
