#Journal Number 3

[lukewarmoverthinker]

Idk how many people noticed this but while rewatching gravity falls, in “Carpet Diem” when they find the secret room the first thing Stan notices and grabs are a pair of Fords glasses. Later in the episode we see him cleaning them on the couch.

I found this color code in the static of the video when you put ‘I’M STILL ON YOUR MIND’ into the computer. Can anyone help decode this? I’m shit at seeing colors sometimes-

Slight missed opportunity in Gravity Falls

Dipper nO DON’T TAZE THE BOY :(

So it turns out that the giant bats in Gravity Falls are giant fruit bats. But they look like the little microbats that eat bugs or drink blood.

I think this was a missed opportunity to use the hammer-headed bat or the tube nosed bat, both of which are fruit eating bats.

Hammer-headed Fruit bat [Africa]

They look quite dubious. Ford would definitely think he’s going to get turned into a vampire if one of these bit him.

Tube-Nosed/ Shrek bat [Australia]

These boys have cursed, human looking teeth and would probably have looked good behind the campfire in the opening. They are smaller than the other Australian Megabats.

I added botanicals to some pages & a clear nail polish to the ectoplasm to give it some texture!

It can be a fun challenge to find spots to put things without it looking out of place.

AND exciting update, my blacklight came in, so I don't have to use the torture device that is the scholastic book fair spy pen's light! It's a good thing, I was getting ready to crash at my local roller rink to use their black lighting 💀

23. Has your favourite character/ship changed over time?

Any fandom iyw ~

Fandom Ask Game

Dang y'all giving me too much power picking the fandom. XD I am so bad deciding someone lead me by the haaaaaanddddd jk.

Multiple fandoms come to mind. I'll answer a few. People can prod me if they want another or specific answer. Rn I'm answering character favorites change for a smaller scope; I can answer ship, too!

Fullmetal Alchemist: Favorite character change from Ed to Roy. I was Ed's age when I picked up the first volume. I am now Roy's age at the end of the series. It's fascinating Arakawa channeled ages and their mindsets so well that this is part of why the shift happened. I adore both characters, of course. That said, Ed's thrilling go-get-'em idealism which vibed with me as a teenager I now look at like "Ohhhhh dear" sometimes. XD Roy's issues and complexities dig into me more now that I've experienced more life.

Gravity Falls: Dipper to Ford to Fiddleford. McGucket was my least favorite character as per season 1. How they expanded McGucket into his nuanced self is insane. I love him. I love him so much. With the release of Journal 3, I had a new and definite favorite.

DreamWorks Dragons: Hiccup to Snotlout? Hiccup was my first favorite. Snotlout and Hiccup were neck-and-neck as of my first viewing of RoB and DoB in 2014. I got my friggin hair cut to be Hiccup-ish in 2014. I screencapped Hiccup way too much during the RTTE release years. But over time, an oversaturation of Hiccupness (as well as shifts similar to FMA... I relate more to Stoick's side than Hiccup's now) has led me to vigorously defend my boy Snottykins. I am so hard a Snotlout stan and you can't stop me. Not even sure if Hiccup's in my top five favorite HTTYD chars anymore. Doesn't mean I dislike him rotflh - just means that, if you want to get me passionate standing on top of my chair, you're going to have to mention a different character than the protagonist of a fandom I've somehow been involved in for ten years now. It's been ten years???

You ever just buy all of the literature for a fandom for a single project?

[nogoodninny]

Many years back when I did speech class my senior year, and we were talking about how important the opening of a story or speech is, so she had every one in the room take turns reading out the first sentence in the book we were reading.

Well I was reading Journal #3

So I got the joy of reading out to my entire class;

“It’s hard to believe it’s been six years since I began researching the strange and wonderous secrets of Gravity Falls, Oregan,”

It was great!

I've been good! It's crazy!

You like a Minecraft server in 2020 and five years later I watch a man crash out live on stream

truly the gift that keeps on giving. remember when we used to do this every other week

[aphroditusiscorroded]

I’ve been rereading Journal #3 and it turns out Ford keeps a collection of weird/misshaped jelly beans, so this post a pretty accurate lol

i miss when pjackk would do jelly bean gacha pulls. a very ford-coded activity

[leafix-arrts]

I forgot this was supposed to be an art account

[commandernightshade]

journal #3 is done!

or about as done as it'll get! Here's a compilation of all the crap I put in here. Part one!

[sneaky-snake-907]

TBOB spoilers:

Ford: "There is something so galling about seeing your OWN FACE committing crimes on your own TV!"

--

Bill: "WELCOME BACK TO PUPPET HOUR WITH BILL! SAY HI, KIDS! TODAY'S PUPPET IS MY OLD PAL SIXER."

--

Poor Ford kinda had his identity stolen twice. After he had stopped Bill from being able to gallivant around in his body, and fell into the portal, Stan used his name to sell fake junk.
