(costume talk and yapping under the cut)
to this day i think one of the funniest moments in all of Gravity Falls is the episode where Soos is going on a date with that woman at the mall and she gets roped into battling the monster of the week with him and in the climax he’s making combat plans with Mabel and Dipper and the woman says, “Soos. These are children.”
It absolutely takes me out every time because this is a rare outside perspective in the show from another adult who rightfully points out how absurd it is to expect the children to fight
But as an older cousin and someone who’s been a camp counselor, like Soos I too have spent entire summers as an adult surrounded primarily by 12 year olds and I know for a fact how quickly I could find myself relying on them as equals in a supernatural battle against gnomes or whatever the fuck
especially when the 12-year-olds are always leading the fight to me.
yeah the first time some sixth grader gets us attacked by vampires, I’m going to feel very ‘mom lifts a car off a baby’ about it. Stand back kids, this is up to me.
the fourth time they get us attacked by vampires, I’m expecting them to have a defensible plan of attack and weapons
The next Summer
I meant to get it together to post these details from my 2026 Hunkles Calendar page on the main page post, but forgot. So here they are, the barely-visible photos from the fridge and the wall meant as a nod to the show finale's credits.
In some cases, they're more visible here than in the final page, because I drew them out first and then let them get cropped by Ford's figure and the page-bleed guidelines. The finale shot from the show, of the pink and purple landscape with the bus pulling away, I knew was going to be mostly obliterated by the lamp and by Ford's hair. (I can't believe how much time I spent on that given how little of it shows in the final piece)
All are just screenshot-redraws (including the Stan o' War II sculpture), except for Soos and Melody standing together. And of course, the "photo" of Stan having just named Soos as the new Mr. Mystery is from a screenshot, but wasn't one of the finale photos (poor Stan, cut off by the page guidelines!).

HAPPY SUMMERWEEN!
This year, continuing the GF 10th Anniversary celebrations, I decided to do a kind of tribute to some of the show’s minor characters through the group’s Summerween costume choices! I’d be surprised if you can’t guess all of these, but I’ll put the key below a read-more below (which also serves as a descriptive image ID.)
Also, bonus:

HAPPY SUMMERWEEN! A three-hour tour? (click to embiggen)
Always trying to come up with group costumes for the Pines’ Summerween. Gilligan’s Island would have first aired when the Stans were in their early teens; but it also stayed running in syndication for a really long time. I watched all of it multiple times as a kid. There are parts of it that are just worn into grooves in my memory.
The choices for the main four were fairly obvious. (I assume Professor Ford’s bamboo and coconut antenna booster for the radio really works… to do… something.) Soos and Melody being a couple made a good fit for the Howells. And while Wendy is absolutely the last person I would associate with Ginger, she does have the red hair, and what the heck – sometimes wearing a costume is about trying out something really different. I went with Soos’ boat for the S.S. Minnow; his original S.S. Cool Dude was destroyed by the Gobblewonker, but a different-looking boat was docked next to the little Stan o’ War in NWHS, so I adapted that as the S.S. Cool Dude II.
(The refs I looked at were mostly to figure out the costumes. I was surprised by how many outfits Ginger and Mary Ann wore. Obviously, one of the often-discussed absurdities of the show was how many different sets of clothes the Howells brought with them for what was only supposed to be a 3-hour tour on a small boat; but apparently so did Ginger and Mary Ann. It was actually hard to find full-figure shots of everyone, and I didn’t actually find an image from the show with Mary Ann in the costume I have Mabel wearing; but all of the stock Mary Ann costumes you can buy for Halloween are variations on this, so at least my memory isn’t playing tricks on me.)
[ID. A colored drawing of Gravity Falls characters dressed for Summerween as various characters from the 60s show “Gilligan’s Island”, standing on a dock at the lake, with Soos’s boat the S.S. Cool Dude II in the background. Stanley Pines as the Skipper; Dipper (sitting on Stan’s shoulder) as Gilligan; Mabel (sitting on Ford’s shoulders) as Mary Ann; and Ford Pines as the Professor. Ford is holding a small white radio, which is connected by a wire to a large antenna held up by Mabel; it is made out of bamboo and coconuts. Soos and Melody Ramirez are dressed as Mr. and Mrs. Thurston Howell III, and they are standing on Soos’s boat, which has a sign saying “Minnow” placed over the original name of the boat. Wendy is also sitting on the rail of the boat, dressed as Ginger. Waddles sits on the dock at Ford’s feet, holding a Jack o’ Melon basket’s handle in his mouth. End ID.]
(huh, go back far enough and it won’t let me edit a description into the ALT text of the image, I guess?)

(old art) a gravity falls comic from september 2022: "sleepover"
i debated on whether i even wanted to put this on my new blog since the formatting + text is hard to look at and the quality is godawful (not by accident either. for some reason i just drew it that way) plus i don't like how it looks overall anymore. but i'm still proud of the writing and i know a lot of people appreciated this comic in the past, so i may as well post it again :)
15 more pages under the cut!
A few deleted frames and sketches that I probably won’t use. This was going to be a bit longer.
