Spoilers for the Book of Bill

Been seeing a lot of people interpreting this as “Bill and Ford had drunk birthday dream sex” and honestly I can see why lmao 💀

Another forgotten piece of galex lore is the time Alex shared an edited picture of George in lingerie on his insta story. Do we all remember that?

Unfortunately I do not have photo evidence. I’m sure it does exist though.

Stop Making Sense (1984)

I actually started this piece before the announcement, but since the cat’s well and truly out of the bag RE the upcoming A24 4K re-release of the film, there’s never been a better time to share. This drawing started out as a fun, pressure free side project, and eventually spawned an entire side foray you’ll see in the next posts!

I love the textures achieved here with the mixed medium- cardboard really lent itself to the otherworldly structure of the big suit, and the neon pencils provide great contrast to the industrial watercolour.

Alex: Kara? What's wrong? You look like you're about to cry.

Kara: No, nothing. It's just... something that happened with Lena.

Alex: What did she do? Is she evil after all? Did she cheat on you? Do I need to kill her??

Kara: *sniffling* She just- she-

Alex: Woah, hey it's okay. Take a breath, then tell me what happened.

Kara: We were baking a cake for when Ruby and Sam come to visit. Everything was going great, we were having so much fun, and then I turned round and saw it...

Alex: You saw WHAT Kara???

Kara: The bowl! In the sink! Full of water!

Kara: I'd maybe have understood if she'd scraped it out herself rather than sharing it with me, but she didn't even eat it! She just... washed it up.

Kara: All that lovely cake batter, washed away down the drain like it was nothing. I'm not sure I can ever see her quite the same way after this.

Alex:

Alex: ...you eat the raw cake mix?

Kara: *clutching her heart dramatically* ET TU BRUTE?!

Listen. Hey, listen to me.

Some of y’all are seriously whitewashing Alex, and it’s got to stop

That man is brown. He and Logan do not have the same skin tone

Please. I am begging you. Learn how to draw someone who’s not white. Learn how to draw mixed skin tones. It’s important

LISTEN ON SPOTIFY (but a little different) because 8tracks :(

annotations below the cut because 8tracks :(

1. dream a little dream of me -- billie holliday and louis armstrong 

‘...what the band was playing when we were dancing at Maidsend.’

2. magic -- brandy [coldplay] 

‘It's like falling in love, discovering your best friend.’

3. bright -- echosmith 

‘I don't believe for a minute―that we wouldn't have become friends somehow―’

4. riptide -- taylor swift [kina grannis & imaginary future]

‘All the pressure was gone. Nothing to be afraid of, nothing to battle against, just the two of us flying together, flying the plane together, side by side in the golden sky.’

5. willow -- jasmine thompson 

‘Julie’s told our story, mine and hers, our friendship, so truthfully. It is us.’

6. afire love -- ed sheeran 

‘I am no longer afraid of getting old. Indeed I can't believe I ever said anything so stupid. So childish. So offensive and arrogant. But mainly, so very, very stupid. I desperately want to grow old.’

7. wasting my young years -- london grammar 

‘There’s glory and honour in being chosen. But not much room for free will.’

8. out of the woods yet (at grammy museum) -- taylor swift [savannah outen]

‘I don’t recognise any of my emotions any more. There's no such thing as plain joy or grief. It's horror and relief and panic and gratitude all jumbled together.’

9. between the raindrops -- lifehouse ft. natasha bedingfield

‘‘Kiss me, Hardy!’ Weren’t those Nelson’s last words at the Battle of Trafalgar? Don’t cry. We’re still alive and we make a sensational team.’

10. over the love -- florence + the machine 

‘But a part of me lies buried in lace and roses on a riverbank in France - a part of me is broken off forever. A part of me will always be unflyable, stuck in the climb.’

11. candles -- daughter 

‘Maddie held her lightly, thinking she would let go when her friend stopped crying. But she cried for so long that Maddie fell asleep first. So she didn’t ever let go.’

12. you -- keaton henson 

‘And this, even more wonderful and mysterious, is also true: when I read it, when I read what Julie's written, she is instantly alive again, whole and undamaged.’

13. interlude (live) -- london grammar

‘Flying in silver moonlight in a plane that can’t be landed, stuck in the climb - alive, alive, ALIVE.’

leave all worries behind you – It’s awful, telling it like this, isn’t it? As though we didn’t know the ending. As though it could have another ending.

What’s team red like in your au? I’m really curious about their dynamic :3

I actually have doodles and stuff planned for this tehe 🤭

So basically,

Dan is their engineer since he can help build stuff like how Ivy is the team’s mechanic

Carla is a getaway driver!!

Alex, which is Shermie’s son in this au, is their residential hacker. (Shermie does not know this.)

They’re still called Team Red because well the El Diablo is red and Stan wears red HAHA also their home base in Gravity Falls is like a secluded area. Basically like the Mystery Shack but with a few changes?

(I would have added soos, Wendy or Mabel and dipper but the timelines don’t match up unfortunately!!)

Alex bugged his way into Stan’s alliance when Stan was seeking quick refuge with Shermie’s family. It was super funny because Stan was busy plotting out his plans to thwart VILE and also not get caught by them in the middle of the night when Alex just questioned him about it.

Basically Alex: Heya uncle that looks hard, need any help?

And the next thing Stan knew he had a nephew on his side with impressive hacking skills to help him with his tasks. In return he teaches Alex some of his minor skills (how to steal and not get caught HELPP)

With Shermie and the rest of the fam not knowing I like to imagine family dinner with Shermie inviting Ford and it’s just Ford ranting about catching the super thief while Alex is off to the side like 👀.

Carla McCorkle and Stan ran into each other shortly after Stan left Shermie’s place and they had a talk and reconciled. After that they discussed further and Carla stubbornly inputted herself into Stan’s plans cause she was curious what he was planning to do. Also since she was concerned over what she’s observed from him when they were having a chat. As someone who had known Stan from his teen years, she’s someone who can understand him well and they became super close friends afterwards! She also smacks sense into him when needed!

‘Boyish’ Dan had been busy looking for a job and he came across Stan and Carla while they were stopping by Gravity Falls. He’s still young in this, maybe a teen? So Stan wasn’t so sure about having him on their team but since Alex was already in it he figured it wouldn’t be that bad. Dan impressed them all with his strength and skills to build stuff and after a whole discussion and a week of staying at Gravity Falls, the team decided to set up base there. Dan helped build their small shack (before it expands over time) and Stan was fine in letting him in the group. As normal Corduroy traits, Dan becomes a loyal and awesome asset to the team.
