How to survive the night after your brother gets sucked through some stupid ass portal

Summary:
A decade of outrunning cops, angry mobs, angry loan sharks, angry exes, and anyone else with a beef against him has created an ongoing stint of very noisy nights.
But tonight is eerie in its silence.
---
Despite being a huge gravity falls fan and rewatching the show yearly I've never written anything for it before, so to line up with both stanuary and @genuary-fic-event to do a Stan fic was great timing! The way Stan says he "didn't get much sleep that night" in his retelling of events in ATOTS was the most genuine he sounded during it all and it's always stuck with me every rewatch, so enjoy this short thing about it.

I'm rewatching gravity falls and obvioiusly i'm having a blast. but because I am an insane person I rewatched season 2 first and now rewatching season 1 and I have to say I love the monster of the week episodes. I love them so much. and honestly I prefer them alot more to the plot building episodes. dont get me wrong the overarching plot and mystery is definitely part of the intrigue of the show especially when it first aired. but I am so enamored with how the show stands completely on its own as just a regular monster of the week type beat. (also how concurrent all the episodes are it is very believable that every episode happens the next week from the last while still being able to pick up the show from mostly anywhere its just spectacular)
But i just think Gravity Falls and it's overarching plot was something very novel in a children's cartoon when it was first released. Most children shows didn't have an obvious mystery hanging over the entire show to be solved where the entire show for the most part was just one big arc (the only other one I can think of around a similar time frame is ATLA but I'm sure there were others they just were the minority) .
and that made it so intriguing and unique and dont get me wrong it's still an amazing mystery show and the plot still holds strong but also we are now in a timeline where almost every show even cartoons are 10 episode long and have an over arching plot hell all the major disney channel cartoons of the last couple years (ducktales, amphibian, owl house, star vs the forces of evil even tho that last one was really only in the second season) are all plot driven shows but hey atleast even those shows have mostly adventure of the week episodes for the most part. but the only true adventure of the week cartoons I know from the last couple of years have been like big city greens and Hamster and gretel.
And like i guess what I'm trying to say (in this insane manner of mine) is bring back the adventure of the week. bring back 22 episodes where every single episode isn't trying to just push the narrative forward. Like honestly to me the best parts of gravity falls that still holds up all these years later are just dipper mabel and gruncle stan getting into some shit together.
plus the comedy is still fucking golden and some of these shots are legitimately horror movie worthy.
#god gravity falls is stills so fucking funny#gruncle stan is iconic and i would like to be him when I grow up#i just have thought in my head I fear#alex hirsh is a fucking cryptic genius#god im sick of 10 episodes devoted to somehow completely developing characters while driving a never stoping narrative forward#like we dont even get to sit on mysteries anymore before they are solved#one always gets sacrificed for the other and its just so ughhhh#and this isnt me saying that all shows need to be 22 episodes some shows genuinely benefit from the 10 ep 1 hr long format#but god not everything. when was the last time a cartoon was released with more than 10 episodes that wasn't a reboot?#this whole speech doesnt make alot of sense I fear but just know I am having a blast rewatching gravity falls#gravity falls#alex hirsch#gruncle stan#dipper pines#gravity falls dipper#dipper and mabel#mabel pines#gravity falls mabel#gf#disney channel#throwing thoughts to the void

Me: I’m not attracted to older men
The Stan Twins: …
Me: …
Me: There are two exceptions
#art#digital art#my art#fanart#gravity falls#gravity falls fanart#stanford pines#stanley pines#scary-oke#dungeons dungeons and more dungeons#these men have no right to be so attractive#princess unattainabelle beckons me#I have rewatched that scary-oke scene way too many times#stan is gorgeous#every character in gf canon can shut up#also finding references for screaming men in this horrible age of ai images is an eldritch experience#why did you have to do this to us google?

I’m throwing my own top hat into the ring with a . Human? Bill design
I remembered the old theory that bill was controlling Gompers the goat and used it as an excuse for devil imagery <3 and I like the idea that he’s just not very good at approximating a human
#my art#gravity falls#bill cipher#human bill#I gusss?!#I’m in the process of rewatching gf for the 283748385th time and just got to dresmscapers while drawing this#anyways. no eyebrows bc I thought it was funny from Alex hirsch’s design#outfit based on silas birchtree and really just. a plain ol suit. bc his appearance is what all my thought was put into FHGJDFJ#also I was So excited abt the goat demon idea bc that portrayal of satan is pulled from Pan#I got mixed up and thought he was associated w Chaos which was perfect (I was wrong tho. it was panic which yknow that makes more sense)#so not quite as perfect as I thought but OH WELL I still think it’s fun#shoutout to my bf for helping me <3#I was having a dilemma over an earlier iteration where it really just looked like he was wearing half a fursuit (which it still kinda does)#but it’s definitely better now FHJDKFKDG

I'm sorry that my blog has become a Gravity Falls repository as of late (lying) but also. Listen. Hear me out. Ford Pines exists and I love him
#i watched the show for the first time over covid lockdown with my brother#this renaissance is forcing me to rewatch and like. he. him. HIM. my GUY#ford pines#stanford pines#gravity falls#...he always appealed to me in that he's a weird nerd who struggles with self isolation and obsession and forming relationships#and he bases a lot of his self worth on how others perceive his intelligence and what he can produce to demonstrate it#he's just like me fr#or should i say... it's just like my life. in a way#anyway context my other favorite characters of all time are bruce wayne/batman and anakin skywalker/darth vader#doomed to fall in love with characters who catch WAY too much shit from their respective fandoms#my post#mine

Thinks about how a large chunk of Fiddleford's insanity is portrayed as him regressing into an unapologetically Southern farmhand
Thinks about how the town never bothered to notice the parts of him that mattered more, like his deep intelligence and suffering, because of how easy it was to assume he's just a crazy hillbilly
Thinks about how it took him returning to his previous "normal", the version of him that uses big words and fancy computers, for people to finally recognize him as a person with thoughts and ideas EVEN THOUGH HE CONSTANTLY BUILT IMPOSSIBLY COMPLEX ROBOTS BEFOREHAND
Thinks about how disgusting it is that society ingrains the idea that people with "lower intelligence" have no deep emotion/thoughts into us. Thinks about how Fiddleford evolved into one of the most nuanced characters in Gravity Falls despite the fact he was just supposed to be a one-off classist joke character. Thinks about how the origin of Fiddleford's character is a reflection of why it's so harmful for everyone involved to fall into these stereotypical lines of thought. Thinks abou
#seriously guys i think about hiim wayyyy too much#i could talk about the addiction metaphors but i rarely see people bring up this part of his character#he is not a perfect social commentary because. you know. its a kids cartoon from the 2010s. but hes pretty damn good#this summer i rewatched it like 3 times and now that my brain is actually developed i get to think about all this fun depressing stuff#but yeah. fiddleford reminds me of some of my family sometimes and it makes me sad#gravity falls#fiddleford mcgucket#fiddleford hadron mcgucket#old man mcgucket#analysis#(?)

Picture this:
- Dipper convinces Ford to run for mayor
- Stan and Ford run against each other
- Bud attempts to point out that there should only be one Stanford and who is this other guy???
- Bud cannot get a word in because they spend the whole debate arguing
- Tyler Cutebiker still wins
#gravity falls#stanford pines#stanley pines#it could’ve been a killer two parter#yes i am rewatching season two why do you ask#dipper really thought ford would make a good candidate and i doubt that so much#anyways i love the original episode but the one line about ford running gets me every time

The bonus art on your post about Young!Stanley meeting Bill where he’s standing on top of what I assume is the portal is making me go insane cuz before Mabel intervened in that one episode Stan had a fear of heights and assuming he had it when he was a kid there’s no way Bill doesn’t know about it since he’s in Young!Stanley’s mind and all I can think about is Bill unpossessing Stanley while up there and him panicking and/or freezing up when he comes to his senses and realizes how high up he is and Ford just fucking loosing his mind like “Oh god he’s gonna fall oh god oh god-“
eehehe ehehehehehee stanley better keep his footing when Bill leaves, or else
for angst purposes im making the portal bigger now (? *plays that song that plays in that scene of Avatar when the protag falls from the plane gonna ramble in the tags now thank u
#i actually totally forgot stanley was afraid of height like. canonically#HUHUHUH its all coming together#no one knows but this was also a fusion of “twins in time”- “relativity falls" and that one AU where kid stanford and stanley meet Baby Bil#so technically the Other reason why Stanley trusted Bill is cuz when he introduced himself he was like “omg billy!” in his mind#but im working on how to make everything work without it being relativity falls related. like how to get adult stanley and kid stanford int#gravity falls. i actually already have it planned but teehee#plus my friend gave me a few extra thoughts on how to make it work without it being relativity falls#now my struggle is i gotta rewatch a few episodes#also was thinking of bringing bill's parents for funsies because i think thats how stanley should get “unpossessed”#that aint necessarily canon to this little AU just a nice thing to think bout#it aint gonna be a long AU if i continue doodling stuff cuz im not good at having ideas they all suck teehee but yeah anyway thank u!#im glad u like my evil thoughts!#making no comment on stanley's health after being unpossessed#gravity falls au#ask#hornytime6969#nice

apologies to all the people that followed me for bsd stuff and are now watching me spiral into gravity falls and my occasional deadpool x wolverine (poolverine? i forgot the ship name) reblogs
#i still love bsd dont get me wrong#i just latched onto gravity falls so strongly that i need to consume media for it and sooth the rabid creature in my mind#it happens every year like clockwork now that i think abt it#started with undertale (which lasted almost two years i think) and had bits of loz and fnf scattered throughout it#then maybe 4 months of tbhk obsession#and then mha and demon slayer (both very strongly)#and then inuyasha and death note (i never collected much stuff for those fandoms bc i just rewatched the series so much. ive watched#death note over 20 times and idek how many times ive rewatched inuyasha)#and then aot and a few various others for a few months#and then bsd very very strongly with bits of things like helluva boss hazbin hotel and small things#and now gravity falls with poolverine#I YAP SM IM SORRY#gravity falls#billford#ford squared#bsd#bungou stray dogs#aot#deadpool and wolverine#tbhk#fnf#no more tags bc im tired

quite pleasantly surprised by wicked movie but i Will say we were robbed of elphaba leaning in close to glinda saying “come with me to the emerald city” followed by glinda’s “i’ve always wanted to see the emerald city” while looking deep into her eyes arms around her shoulders twirling elphaba’s hair
#not sure if this was unique to the last time i saw wicked but either way. shoutout to those two leads fr 😘✌🏻 <- that’s me kissing#two fingers and holding them out btw#personal#other notes:#- fiyero looked too old sorry but he did perform pretty well#- still unreasonably annoyed by ariana’s eyebrows being so pale and blending into her skin under certain lightings esp when they gave her#giant black lashes like at least be consistent 💀#- otherwise pretty pleasantly surprised by her performance there were still moments esp when she laughed where i was like this is too#‘ariana’ and not ‘glinda’ enough but for the most part she did wayyy better than i had anticipated#- the instrumentation to vocal balancing was weird throughout but i’m not sure if that came down mostly to it being in theatre vs on a home#tv ik it can depend on how they designed it#- was not a fan of nessa or madame morrible the way both of them sang and even how madame morrible spoke sometimes came off very stilted to#me i did like nessa’s spoken delivery tho#- not sure how but i had no clue abt the kristen/idina cameo ahjdf the way my mom#grandma and me all gasped#- cynthia did well i wasn’t concerned abt her initially but then saw the way they were marketing with her and got a little worried bc it#wasn’t very ‘elphaba’ but she portrayed her personality great#- they paced defying gravity weird i wasn’t super fond of the end. the bit where she’s falling and facing her younger self i was like okay#this is a cool change actually but then they interrupted in the middle again after that and suddenly cut to the ‘nobody in all of oz’ bit#and i went mmmm don’t like that#- liked the effects!#- wasn’t overly fond of jeff goldblum as the wizard but i suppose there is time to change my opinion there with act ii#- enjoyed what is this feeling flipping btwn so many settings to show how much they were clashing in every respect#- costumes!!#- was slightly bothered by autotune first half and then im not sure if they cut back on it or if i just got used to it#- probably more stuff that i might add later but can’t think of rn. overall nice experience don’t plan on rewatching anytime soon but still#intend to see part 2#wicked 2024 spoilers#<- for the cameo mention mainly

If I won the lottery there wouldn’t be many signs to indicate that I did. All I’m saying is my rooms gonna be stocked with a lot more…alex hirsch related things..
#if a demon walked into a bar and sat down next to me#stay with me#and offered me infinite power and wealth#or the ability to watch gravity falls for the first time again#I would walk out of that bar with no money or power#it’s all I want#I’ve never wanted to rewatch a show from scratch this bad before#I need to be where I was when ford walked out of that portal#gravity falls#book of bill#stanford pines#alex hirsch
