The image used in the background of the Gravity Falls logo HAS BEEN FOUND!!

It's located in France!!

I made a thread on Twitter explaining the full story and how I even asked Ian Worrel and Alex Hirsch about it, but lemme run down quickly how it was found and where it is!

After 3 years of searching with some friends on and off, we had no real luck. I've been working on a video about it for a while but decided to try one more time. My friend @trickengf suggested looking at international logos as they may have more of the image available and sure enough...we found logos like the Japanese and Russian GF logo had more visible detail of the image.

From that, Tricken made a remake of the image and used it to find it. He ended up finding the source at about 3AM for me, lol!

My friend Fried Oreos then confirmed the image was old enough to fit the criteria of pre GF pilot, by determining the image was on the Textures website it was sourced from since 2008!

Then, my friend Alex M managed to buy the HD image and we were able to analyze its metadata for more info!

Turns out, the image, called "LandscapeMountains0009," was taken by a Nikon D70 camera on April 18, 2007!

THE GRAVITY FALLS LOGO IMAGE IS ALMOST 18 YEARS OLD!!

From there, we began looking for the location. The meta data had no location, but other images taken around the same time showed signs of maybe the location being in Europe.

After over a day of searching, Tricken, Alex M and Oreos FOUND IT!!

The location of the image is a mountain range near the town of Sers, France...near the border with Spain.

Exact coordinates of the closest viewable angle of the image is 42°54'23.2"N 0°06'05.6"E

This is a major discovery and one I cannot believe we did. While this search was started by me in 2021 with some friends, it was TrickenGF, Alex M and Fried Oreos who deserve all the credit for this discovery! They were the geniuses who tracked all of this down and were able to connect the dots to get to this point.

You guys are amazing and I am beyond grateful for all of this.

Finding this image means that fans can now recreate the Gravity Falls logo as they want with anything they want. For example, Tricken made this for me using the image :D

Or, you can do this, lol

We now have it!

For 12 years as we looked at the Gravity Falls logo...we were in reality looking at a mountain in France...NOT Oregon!

So, I guess this is a major W for France but sorry, Pacific Northwest, Gravity Falls is actually French, lol!

I still can't believe we found this. I'm so happy :P

[ID: the Pacific Rim meme of the scientist giving a speech, now edited to say "In the beginning, the Trump Assassination Attempts were spaced apart 24 weeks. Then 12, then 6, then every 2 weeks. In 4 days we could be seeing an assassination attempt every 8 hours until they are coming every 4 minutes. We should witness a double event within seven days." End ID]

A third person has tried to assassinate Trump on October 12th 2024, but was arrested before entering the California Rally when he set off metal detectors and large magazines and a loaded gun were discovered in his car/ on his person.

So, we had a thought ...

We think everyone who has seen our posts and wants to sign up has done so ... but we wonder if we can get enough new eyeballs to find 19 more creators (or more) in the next 4 hours because although we've already set records with signups this year, we're very curious to see what a Fandom Trumps Hate auction with 1000 offers looks like.

With that possibility in mind, we've decided to re-open the signup form through 4:30 PM Pacific. Signal boost like crazy and see if we can reach new corners of fandom before time runs out on this bonus window. Whether we reach 1k signups or not, the form will be closing again at 4:30 PM Pacific.

Signups are OPEN. Briefly!

Fandom Trumps Hate is a fanworks auction raising money for progressive nonprofit organizations. You can learn more about us here.

RADI00Q: 31 SONGS FOR BOND AND Q SONG 1: Good Luck, Babe - Chappell Roan

[castillon02]

January: an Omega watch that could level a city block. February: a Montblanc garotte-pen that could write a headline as easily as take a head off. March: a tuxedo jacket made out of a new stab-proof nano-fiber.

Q Branch had assigned these to 006, 005, and 009 respectively.

When the new Aston Martin was ready in April, Bond was too: ready to put his persuasive blue eyes to good use.

"Q."

"No."

"The odds of one going into the Tiber again are---"

"I specifically waterproofed it. It's technically a nautical vehicle. The answer is still no."

Bond smoldered.

Q kept his dark-ringed eyes on his monitor. His shoulders slumped for a moment before straightening. "Fine. If you sign this." Q handed him a letterheaded sheet of paper.

Under the circumstances that the man known as Q is removed from his position at MI6 due to the destruction of a gadget that Q has provided to me, I, the undersigned, pledge to provide at minimum a replacement monthly salary for at least 48 months immediately following the removal of Q's employment.

"No one's going to fire you."

Q arched his eyebrows. “Here: your current issue.” He handed Bond a plastic Bic pen. The top half had been chewed on and not by Q; the molar imprints didn’t match. 

Bond’s lip curled involuntarily. 

Q smiled. 

Bond signed the contract. 

Later, after the car and its surrounds exploded, Q turned up at Bond’s flat with two cat carriers in tow. “I expect we’ll be kept in the manner to which we’re accustomed.” He flopped onto Bond’s sofa.  

It’d probably be a month or two before MI6 hired Q back, which was time enough for good Quartermasters to have a rest and be spoiled. Bond would have to thank 006; the Omega had worked perfectly.

Hallo, hallo @k-sci-janitor !! 💜

Tis I, your Newmann Secret Santa 2024 :D I read you enjoy the Newmann penpal days, and honestly what a great time for these two idiots, haha.

I had a peek at my socks and it sparked this fun idea to see a little slice into a time where Newton sent Hermann a pair of "Marine Biology" socks! >:) Plus a cheeky polaroid from his 3rd PhD graduation xD I mean, Newton probably would send Hermann silly socks all the time, right? xD I also thought it would be fun to do a companion piece where we see Newton receiving a gift from Hermann? But I've run out of time xP I mean, we have until the end of January xD So I could do it if I find some more time 👀 Hehe.

A bit of extra info (because you can't tell with my awful, tiny painting skills xD) Hermann is wearing this lil Mathematics pin that he probably won at a school contest and I love that xD The other one is this fun Pi pin that, let's be honest... Newton probably found in a random shop and immediately mailed it to Hermann xD

Ahhhh! I hope you enjoy this little gift (quite literally, I drew this on my 4x6 sketchpad xD) with my silly drawings on it :b I am sending you good vibes and Newmann happiness this season ;) Cheers!

Q paper dolls. Shown as separate drawings below.

For scavenger hunt item #6: Design 3 outfits for a Bond character or your Station character to be worn on 3 separate occasions. and for the 2024 prompt exchange prompt #6: Missions in which Q will appear in different costumes, or uniform or just funny outfits!!  I'm dying to see him in a police uniform and cap, or in navy uniform, in a full suit of three layers, etc.. (or Q dressed as a steward, but not for flight of course)
