ROBBIE V. AND THE TOMBSTONES , THOUGHT DUMP.
we know that robbie founded the band. and knowing that robbie entered his emo phase around 7th grade , i'd say he picked up guitar not long after and decided he was gonna start the coolest band in gravity falls. but it probably was just him and the only other alt dude he knew for a year where they just fucked around in their bedrooms with nothing but big dreams while still learning their instruments lmao. so it probably didn't become an actual band with actual members until 8th grade.
being the false self fuck that he is ( hiding his deep insecurity and low self esteem with a hugely inflated ego ) , naturally he named the band after himself. but that only lasted a few years. it doesn't roll off the tongue that well. "robbie v" was eventually dropped , and now they're just called "the tombstones".
obviously robbie is on lead guitar. but he's on double duty as vocalist as well. ( we've heard him sing. you literally can't tell me he isn't doing both. the band is his baby. his ass wouldn't let anyone else fill either of those positions lmao. )
we don't know any of the other members. i wouldn't doubt if either lee or nate were in it , or at least involved. so if your muse wants to be in a metal band. hmu.
they're a band with a Look(tm) okay. they wear makeup. robbie likes to wear eyeliner and to style his hair. but he was embarrassed about it during the show because he was shamed and made fun of for it. he gets over that eventually and i love that for him.
i'm still a little on the fence about a band claim but i'm 99% sure i'll just go with m/otionless in w/hite. which is a generic choice. but robbie is generic so. m/iw have a long discography which gives me room to talk about the bands evolution over the years.
like . . . . . this is what an early song would sound like / probably what they sounded like during canon. and this. then eventually this and this. yknow what i'm saying.

©VAL3NTINO. ROBBIE V/ALENTINO , HEADCANONS.
he's a fucking idiot. but we already know that. he's definitely not book smart and his grades in school were nothing to brag about. he just barely got by. but he has a lot of knowledge in the things that interest him.
he is completely self taught in music. he never went to a teacher or had lessons , he just learned everything he knows from ear or by watching. which means he doesn't know how to read sheet music , and at this point , he's too afraid to ask. he does eventually begin to teach himself the basics of music theory , and he can play most string instruments.
he loves creepy crawlies ! especially invertebrates and reptiles. he has a brazilian black tarantula , a milk snake , and an asian forest scorpion. his enclosures are the most colorful parts of his room with a lot of bright green plants , and he has a wall dedicated to insect taxidermy.
unsurprisingly , horror is his favorite genre of film. but he especially loves the old black and white ones , and he has a huge soft spot for the universal monsters. bride of frankenstein and creature from the black lagoon make him emotional every time. ( something something , the monster and gill man are his favorites , he relates to and sympathizes with them the most etc etc etc. ) but he'll totally play it off if he's watching them with someone else. he'll always try to tune in to the local tv station that plays classic horror on the weekend.
he smells like cigarettes and hairspray at almost all times.
he got his hoodie from the g/ravity falls equivalent to hot topic ( we're just going to continue referring to it as hot topic because i can't remember what they named it ) in seventh grade and he still has it ! he doesn't wear it as often anymore because it's very old and basically falling apart. but he'll bring it out of retirement when the weather feels right for it. if someone got him the exact same one but new , he'd get very emotional because it's so sentimental to him and he misses wearing it without risking it unraveling if the wrong thread got pulled.
he can't cook. but he can use a microwave most of the time.
he did most of his own piercings himself ( or with the help of a friend ) and they somehow never rejected or got infected. his "spider bites" were done himself in ninth grade , he began the process of stretching his ears himself in tenth grade , his double helix was done by a friend in tenth grade , and his nostril was done by a friend when he was eighteen. his eyebrow was later done professionally in his twenties.
what we've seen in canon is that robbie hates admitting that he wears makeup for his band , most likely because he knows he would get ( and has been ) shamed for it. but he does eventually find his confidence. a little bit while he was still in school , but most of it came around the time he graduated. and he definitely wore it for graduation as a final fuck you to his peers. now he literally couldn't care less and it's just as common to see him wearing smudged out eyeliner and eyeshadow as it is to see him completely bare faced. who cares ? plus , it really compliments his blue eyes.
believe it or not , his parents are always very supportive of him and everything he does. no , they didn't like the piercings and tattoos , and they don't even particularly care for a lot of the music he makes. but they're always in his corner. he always hated that they were such cheery people ( given being in the funeral business ) as a teen , but he grew to appreciate their optimism the older he got.
he doesn't trust just anyone with his hair because he likes it a very certain way , which leaves him to be the one cutting it most of the time.
