I'm sure this has been said before, but I don't care. While I was working on a little bit of planning and world building for my future TOH/Gravity Falls- Post Timeskip Fic; I noticed something hilarious.
Seems... Uh... a little familiar. Doesn't it?
Okay, maybe I'm just overthinking. Surely, it's impossible that there's a direct connection. I mean, that's like saying all magical amulets that glow and look a little like a bolo tie are the same! They have different powers, clearly. And-
Oh...
If I had a penny for every time a Disney capitalist antagonist clutched their magic glowing gem necklace angrily at the protagonists; I'd have two pennies. Which definitely isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice. (Or more pennies, who knows at this point.)
I hope Odalia received a worse fate than Gideon, though lmao.
the entire gravity falls community right now:
[ text: SO THE STAN BROTHERS BEGAN AN ADVENTURE OF A LIFETIME, THE KIND OF ADVENTURE THAT WOULD MAKE A GREAT MOVIE, HONESTLY. MAYBE A MINISERIES? IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK?
HONESTLY, WOULD IT KILL THEM TO GIVE US SOME NEW ADVENTURES? AFTER SUMMER COMES FALL, A WHOLE NEW “SEASON,” IF YOU WILL. I CAN’T BE THE ONLY ONE WHO WANTS ANOTHER SEASON, RIGHT? RIGHT?!
I’VE INVESTED SO MUCH TIME IN THESE CHARACTERS’ LIVES, THEY CAN’T JUST LEAVE ME! BY LUCIFER’S BEARD, WHAT WOULD IT TAKE FOR MORE GRAVITY FALLS?! ]
I'm pretty sure I'm just becoming an AT/FC account, and y'know what? I'm just gonna roll with it. I was going to do a more thematic analysis today, but since it's my birthday and I only have so much time, I'm just doing a short one. I think it's interesting how Simon was once an archeologist/antiquities collector; and his character arc began in FC with him on display like the very same artifacts that he once collected. As an anthropology major, the whole idea of taking artifacts of long-gone civilizations to study is seen as normal, but it's also a hot button issue in the field. What right does one human have for the sake of science, yknow? Specifically, though, I find it interesting because it seems that the scene was meant to be taken less literally? Maybe I'm over thinking it, but I think the very idea of being put on display for the whole world to see, like a caged-up animal in a zoo, goes to show just how disconnected Simon felt with Ooo at the start of the series. He didn't feel like he belonged in anything other than a museum. Perhaps he tells himself that it's purely for the sake of authenticity and preserving the history of humanity as much as possible; but really, it's just another way that his past has left him chained and trapped in despair. The crown was never Simon's biggest threat, he was.
cruelty is so easy. youre not special for choosing it
Okay, but what the hell was that??? I think I need a thesaurus and a dictionary to find the right words to describe how that ending made me feel...
It's almost... Arcane.
Book of Bill
Noticed the runes on the "thisisnotawebsite.com" website seem to correlate to Journal #3 pages. Maybe it's just a conspiracy, but hey, that's the first step of solving a mystery!
(This is coming from someone who hasn't gotten their hands on The Book of Bill yet, so go easy on me, lol.
The first thing I want to note is the red ink in the corner. It's very similar to those that Ford used on various pages in Journal 3. However, I haven't been able to find an exact match yet.
Here is an example of what I'm describing.
The closest thing I got to a match came from well... The page with the portal.
But who cares about that! There's more to talk about! Like the fact that these runes also show up right before Ford stops writing in the journal???
And uh. Who else disappeared? Just recently? Just saying.
More proof, these are known anti-bill symbols. Whatever that website will show us, I don't think it'll be from Bill himself. If it is... Let's get ready for Weirdmagennon 2024.
bro i LOVE indigenous fusion music i love it when indigenous people take traditional practices and language and apply them in new cool ways i love the slow decay and decolonisation of the modern music industry
