«A horrifying morning. A blast of cold air jotted me awake to find myself not lying in bed, but standing upright on the roof with icicles stuck to my face, shivering, nearly blue from hypothermia, peering down at the ground far below. Bill brought me here. I know he could have made me jump. But he didn’t. Why? То send a message: that I’m his toy.»
Buy gold...! This week, Emily and V look at one of the coolest fan experiences that they've ever heard about: Gravity Falls fandom's Cipher Hunt. To both celebrate and mourn the end of the series, writer Alex Hirsch created an international scavenger hunt for the fandom, and OUR LOVELY PATRON HOLLY played a pivotal role in connecting fans across the world! Plus, a look at the messages between Alex Hirsch and the absolute fucking goons of Disney Channel's S&P department. Sources Holly's archived blog Messages From S&P
I’m so happy V and Emily Jaye covered Cipher Hunt! it was such a special event and so unique in the history of fandom—I’m so glad it was shared with a wider audience of listeners. Thank you both! Gravity Falls fans: absolutely listen to this episode. It’s always a joy to hear the whole story, no matter how much time has passed, and our lovely hosts do an excellent job of weaving it for everyone to hear <3 ∆

It’s finally done! My hand is ready for a break 😅 by meezert

A snake in Thailand spent enough time sitting still in the water to grow moss and turn into a dragon, apparently.
I don't think that is healthy for the snake, I hope is fine
Oh it's almost certainly not good for it, especially since the moss climbing up towards the eyes where it would obscure vision and the added water drag may slow down strikes on prey, but if the snake is otherwise healthy, the moss will likely be removed with the snake's next shed. However, it IS a fascinating wild phenomenon captured on film.
I wonder if the fact that it now looks almost nothing at all like a snake would make up for the slowed strikes. Like, if it took me about a minute to decide that that's a snake, a fish might get awfully close before reaching that conclusion
It's possible, although fish don't avoid predators only by sight, they use their lateral lines to detect movement. I would guess it would have more luck against something like frogs or lizards, but it's also possible the movement of the moss itself might confuse a fish's senses. Unfortunately the moss also makes it impossible to tell body condition to tell if the snake has been successful at hunting or not previously. It would be a fascinating case study, to see what it is doing in the wild, and whether or not it's working well.
Also since @howlsmovingnutsack asked (even though they didn't ask me), it is believed by local experts to be a puff-faced water snake! As far as I have been able to find out, the family collected it to bring to researchers, and has been feeding it while it awaits pickup.

Remember when Alex gave us super hot and badass Stan for like one episode and a half and never mentionned it again?

"What are you trying to hide from me" with Ford?
Threat Starters
You may have wanted Ford to be the one saying this but uhh….
The question completely threw him off.
“W-What? Stanley, what are you talking about?” Ford asked, stopping and turning back to Stan. They hadn’t even made it to the door yet.
“What are you trying to hide from me?” Stan repeated himself, enunciating the words clearly, not changing a single one.
Something caught in Ford’s throat. He nearly glanced around for- for what had given it away? How did Stan already know? Ford had barely even mentioned the portal itself. He hadn’t- He hadn’t even mentioned….
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Stan took a step towards him that felt wholly aggressive.
Ford instinctively took a step backwards.
Summary:
Stan brings Ford an early birthday gift and discusses the wax figure uprising with him.
Notes:
Yeah… I really wasn’t going to write more for this… Apparently I lied… Even to myself. I have a few ideas for some other parts so we’ll see how things go. This one has a bit of a lighter mood to it, though, apologies in advance for one particular part involving a certain genius living in the dump and a certain other genius who has had his mind rearranged by a demon… This was supposed to be posted in time for Forduary but er… close enough, I guess…
I just started reading a webcomic about a gunslinging lesbian necromancer.
help it’s cute
over the garden wall is really good
