In my mind, the vampire Fiddleford still needs glasses, so he wears green-tinted glasses because if you mix green and red, you can get certain shades of brown.
ten more points if it turns out that aziraphale goes viral after crowley convinces him to do a podcast talking about books
what about a universe where during the pandemic crowley just decided to start streaming because he was bored so just imagine this guy who looks like he's in his forties suddenly shows up and makes all these jokes about being 6000 years old and also he's fucking good at racing games (except mario kart somehow aziraphale always beats crowley in mario kart)
Sometimes I wonder what path Cedric would've taken if he had a real choice
So today I was quite free in my classes and I took advantage of drawing on my cell phone in free time, here is a drawing that I did on paper and now I have transferred it to digital, the only context you need is that it is part of my fnaf AU
i couldn’t get it out of my head
Honestly the most revolutionary thing about Gravity Falls to me is its commitment to sincerity.
I’ve been listening to Alex’s podcast where he goes into the details of each episode with different storyboard artists and writers who worked on the show, and it just baffles me how… cared for the story is. Right now in media there’s been an uptick in satire, and shows making fun of themselves for existing, or taking the piss at their own content to “win” fans to their side. It’s like whimsy is gone from so many pieces of media. But Gravity Falls just doesn’t… do that. It completely embraces itself. Weirdness and all. And so does the team behind it. I’m not used to something I care about being so cared about by everyone surrounding it.
Here’s this cartoon, written and illustrated by an entire team of people saying, “no, we’re serious. we mean this. we made this on purpose and we made it important.”
Throughout the podcast, Alex discusses little ins and outs of each character, offering so much deep internal struggles and enriching the story even farther. And listening to him unpack it with the utmost sincerity just warms my heart. Each character is so dynamic because they were cared for by people who imbued them with sincerity.
That’s exactly why we get quotes like “Shame is powerful, but it grows in the dark,” as Ford realizes the trauma he’s hidden for so long is being embraced by his family, diminishing it’s weight on him through their immediate support.
It’s why we get Alex describing Stanley with quotes like; “I always in my gut thought of him as somebody with a huge well of sadness, a loss of human connection. And that need to please? That need to get laughs from the crowd, and putting on a big show? He’s trying to get from them the affection he never got from his family, and that he lost with his brother.”
Or detailing how Mabel might be a goof… but half the time she’s doing a bit, because she’s really more mature than her brother and doesn’t want him to grow up too fast. She’s trying to help ground him and bring lightheartedness into his life. Because she knows otherwise, he’ll become too self isolated.
And those two mini character studies he dropped so casually in these podcast episodes just… color the show. It’s why the show survived so well even after ten years. It’s gruff-old Stan always calling his niece “Pumpkin” and “Honey”. It’s the family always holding hands without it behind laced with a joke, and falling asleep on one another in the car. It’s Alex explaining that people toyed with other endings, other plot lines, other twists, but it was always going to end with Stan and Ford mending the family tie they severed thirty years ago. Because that was their story. Messes and family and care.
Ten years ago, watching it for the first time as it came out, I felt all that. But now, as an adult, knowing that all the other adults who made it felt the exact same way? :,) What a special story we all got to grow up with, and get to continue being apart of.
they have my whole heart
Some lil sketches:
Wanted to animate to this audio for a while so heres some fun relativity falls ford and fiddleford stuff
I never thought I'd say this but here it is!!
The long lost Gravity Falls "Next Time On," reel has FINALLY been found!
This right here is what made this show happen and the reason why every new Disney cartoon also has a next time on reel. GF's last big lost media hunt is over!
Alex Hirsch said that he was okay if this ever was to leak. So, if this goes down, blame Disney!!
*Oscar and Felipe get on stage just in time to see Ernesto messing with Imelda* Felipe: Oscar, hold me or I’m gonna kill him. Twice. Oscar: Ok, but who’s gonna hold ME then?
This blog will probably be focused in any hyperfixation that I have at the moment (main blog @pashfoxx)
