It wont come to that, thankfully
The Cipher Hunt Documentary
I had the honor of participating in (and helping with) the production of Keyan Carlile's massive Cipher Hunt video. It is an incredible deep dive into the story of the Cipher Hunt, from start to finish, told by the Cipher Hunters ourselves!
We had the pleasure of interviewing Alex Hirsch himself for the video, along with some other amazing guest stars that were involved in the hunt.
Regardless of if you followed the hunt closely back in 2016 or weren't in the fandom back then to experience it, I highly recommend you watch this video. Keyan did some incredible investigating to uncover the truth behind the remaining mysteries of the hunt and it's really cool to hear from the people who participated in it 8 years ago.
Behind the scenes photos 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
that anon calling Soos “nonbinary with left bro” is still stuck in my mind
I want to KISS the person who made this display, that is AMAZING
Well, that explains this bit from one of the very first pages:
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!!
to be continued after errands…

“An absent father is not a dad, Though for twelve years, that’s all he had. But this faceless father is just a man. And while not by blood, his dad is Stan.“ “Is he a son? Is he an employee? These are legitimate questions.“
please watch this video of real ass complaints alex hirsch got for his work on gravity falls, it is comically bad
flyer in question as far as im aware for the last question
Why did no one tell me there was an official gravity falls comic?
It’s some good extra canon-ish content
but at least the war is over
man normally I have no problem with people being horny for villains by why’d y’all have to do it to Bill Cipher
Like.. he’s literally just a triangle.
Vibes go far for people I guess
they didn’t though
I could have respected them if they were horny for the triangle, but no, it was humanized Yellow Onceler as far as the eye could see
cowardice. own your xenophilia or go home.
anyway my opinion is:
if you anthropomorphize a monster as a human twink your membership is forcibly revoked from the Monsterfuckers Union
Bill Cipher is old and abrasive and pushy and sexually identifies as a Ponzi scheme… if he had a human form I suspect it would be nearly indistinguishable from Danny Devito as Matilda’s scummy used car salesman father:
I keep seeing these posts ignoring what really killed the human!Bill trend: the canon appearance of human Bill Cipher, drawn by Alex Hirsch for a charity stream.
Thinking about it, the Mystery Twins are those dumb people that walk towards the creepy sound at night on a horror movie, except they actually survive.
Someone: “Y’all we’re being the white college kids in a movie right now.”
Mabel: “Yea, but none of them ever have a knife!”
Someone: “Why the fuck do you have a knife?!?”
Dipper: “Cause she’s better at hand to hand so I take the crossbow.”
Someone: “What the fuck!?!?”
Mabel: “We also have some holy water, salt”
Dipper: “Some sage and unicorn hair”
Someone: “Uhh are we sure they ain’t the killers?”
Mabel: “Don’t be silly! we would had done a better job of hiding the bodies”
Dipper: “what she said”
Someone: “oh no oh no we’re cornered there’s no way out we’re all gonna die—”
Dipper: “Don’t worry, we’ve got our uncles on speed-dial”
Someone: “How is THAT supposed to help?!”
Mabel (on phone): “Yeah, so this dude is trying to kill us—”
*wall implodes*
Stan and Ford: “WHERE IS HE.”
I couldn’t resist
I want Batman to do the same sort of thing Stan Pines does, where like normally he swears and curses fairly casually, but the moment Robin is around, the worst it goes is “hot belgian waffles!”
