My Potential Projects 2: “Teens” (Concept Art Included!)

In Gravity Falls, Oregon, there live six ordinary teenagers: Wendy, Lee, Nate, Thompson, Tambry and Robbie. During their summer break, this group of friends deals with, in a nutshell, firsts. First jobs, first crushes and a first taste of freedom... Of course, not every new experience is a positive one. Phone-addicted and gothic Tambry, for instance, despises the fact that she is obligated to have a perpetually smiley attitude and wear a very hot owl costume when working at Hoo-Ha Owl’s Pizzamatronic Jamboree. Wendy, on the other hand, bores out working as a cashier in the tourist trap “The Mystery Shack” and as a lifeguard in the community pool. Still, she doesn’t hesitate to rebel against the rules set by her bosses Mr. Pines and Mr. Poolcheck along with her working peers, which, by the way, include a nerdy tween boy named Dipper that has his eyes set on her. Robbie, the emo of the team, may tolerate his job at the burger stand of the Gravity Falls mall, but is completely obsesse with Wendy and really wants her to be his girlfriend. Now, although there’s a considerable ammount of negative experiences, coward Thompson loves his position as the Royal Ragtime Theater manager. That way, he can switch the tables with ushers Lee and Nate by using his authority to force them to clean the toilets and seats. His off-the-clock status as the group’s living “Kick Me” sign really tires him out in secret!

These friends may live a generic teenage live, but the supernatural always lurks in the shadows ready to surprise them when they least expect it. As Gravity Falls is a town where this stuff is common, the group helping Lee practice for his upcoming driving test can become a wild escapade from a ferocious monster! Similarly, things like haunted convenience stores and gravity mishaps aren’t left out! 

However, no matter what happens to them and in the town, the gang attempts to make the good times last on one of their very few summers left. It’s a constant balance between minimum wages and maximum scares!

SAMPLE EPISODE 1: Wendy wants to watch a movie. However, Thompson bans her from the local theater because she entered with food. Wendy thinks that, of course, he realizes this mean war! She’ll try various ways to enter the theater avoiding his iron-fist. The clock is ticking in this battle of wits and trickery!

SAMPLE EPISODE 2: The whole gang, along with Wendy’s working peers Dipper and Mabel, explore an abandoned convenience store. They have usual teenage fun in there, which may or may not end up with them in one ghost of an unexciting adventure.

SE3: Tambry, so as to catch a break from all the Hoo-Ha hubbub, babysits the town-famous L’il Gideon. She soon realizes it may not have been a good idea to do so, because things with that little boy will definitely not be down to earth!

SE4: Tambry holds a Summerween party at her house while her parents are out. Her five friends, along with the rest of the Gravity Falls High School students, join in, not knowing a simple bottle-spinning game can unleash an evil entity that will force them into eating cursed lollipop sticks.

SE5: Lee has trouble practicing for his upcoming driving test, so he calls upon the rest of the gang for help. They all hop aboard the Thompson family van and let Lee at the wheel in order to guide him on a drive through the forest. Soon, however, a horde of gnomes starts chasing them, and only Lee’s parallel parking skills can save the day!

SE6: The Gravity Falls Community Pool is looking for a new assistant lifeguard. Still, Wendy is fed up with having to stay in the community pool after her usual shift in order to try out people. Thus, when Dipper suggests he can be the lifeguard, Wendy admits him on the spot. The two have fun breaking the rules, but Mr. Poolcheck has other ideas regarding fun...

SE7: Robbie decides to record a song dedicated to Wendy so as to make her fall in love with him. To do so, he’ll have to get help from some unusual creatures.

SE8: Robbie convinces Thompson to join him in summoning an evil triangle that, at least according to the former, can grant three wishes. However, the shock they’re in for, to say the least, is to die for.

SE9: Tambry and Robbie start dating without any warning, which surprises the rest of the teens...for worse.

SE10: It’s another usual day at the town, until suddenly (and literally) gravity starts falling. The gang must do all they can in order to survive all the floating!

SE11: Inspired by Jack Kerouac’s classic “On the Road”, Wendy convinces the gang, along with her working peers, to do some hitch hike. She, secretly, wants to stay away from her father after a fight they got into. But then, a mysterious truck driver captures the group and takes them to a haunted diner in order to keep them prisoners.

SE12: Both Wendy’s stress towards life in general and Tambry’s “monthly pain” get the best of them. So much so that Wendy gains weather powers and Tambry turns into an overreacting ugly creature that runs loose! The boys must team up with Wendy’s working peers in order to stop the situation.

SE13 (pre-series finale): School is right around the corner, for registration at Gravity Falls High has just started. The whole gang is devasted at this, but their devastation turns into panic as strange creatures invade the town and things become much, much weirder than usual.

SE14 (SERIES FINALE): The Weirdmageddon has been stopped by Robbie, Wendy and the Mystery Shack gang. However, before Dipper and Mabel leave Gravity Falls, Wendy decides to prepare a surprise that will require her and the teenage gang to move all through the town in one last summer adventure together.

I’m sharing this on here for fans, both new and old out there that haven’t heard of it, but there is a little fan-made episode of Gravity Falls a small group made about a year ago that takes place before Dipper and Mabel vs the Future and it’s so GOOD.

The comedy is top notch, the voice acting is great, the writing for the episode feels like it was from the OG writing team of the show, the storyboarding brought me back to when we used to see those deleted/alternative scenes from the conventions years back. People were even commenting on how this fan episode is what we should have gotten instead of the road-trip episode in S2 and yeah, I agree.

It adds so much character for Ford with the amount of screen time he was given here, exploring his relationships with the other characters, including the much needed exploration of the relationship between him and Mabel, even diving more into his PTSD and how that’s affecting him and his decision making…..I put emphasis on that for a reason and the reason will be revealed in the video itself.

But seriously, check it out when you have the chance.

I am THIS close to going full conspiracy board trying to piece together the components of my favourite genre "spooky, mystery solving, coming of age adventures that involve a clash of the mundane and the supernatural"

EDIT: I went full conspiracy board mode

what a creep!

Decided to draw him in my style since I'm still struggling with the show's style, heh. I should probably sit down to do a proper study one of these days. But I'm happy with how this turned out! Still getting the hang of using an iPad (I was gifted one in my art absence on here, so no more phone drawing for me unless I'm posting old stuff).

I also have a doodle page that I did before this, and a comic:

Image #1 text:

"Okay, either Sixer used his nerd brain to make some science glasses, or all those punches ta the head are finally catching up to me."

*Can almost see clearly.*

*Gave him my astigmatism*

*Drew him in my style*

"???"

"You forgot the eight, Sixer."

"Oh, thank you, Stanley!"

"Wait, WHAT."

heres the thing. i dont actually hate stanford pines. hes not my favorite, i dont hate him, im fairly neutral on him. i even enjoy him sometimes. my hatered of him is vastly overperformed, largely due to how many people seem to treat him like hes never done wrong. ford fans (love you guys, this is just my singular greivance) not infrequently talk about ford as though he hasnt done bad things. this is a man who let his brother get disowned and kicked out onto the streets, who didnt talk to him for 10 years despite his ability to at any time. this is a man who called stan up after ten years to send him away (and i don't even really blame him for this considering he hadn't slept in days). he did mind control for the government. he endangers dipper and mabel (infinity sided die in a cheap plastic case with his regular dice while playing d&d&md with dipper, giving mabel a crossbow, taking dipper to a spaceship where he didnt know if all of the aliens were dead (which is still a dangerout trip anyway), giving the twins a mind control device to use unsupervised,).

(obviously, i dont think stan has done nothing wrong either. he is s thief, a con artist, a criminal, he uses a false identity, he commits tax fraud, llamacide, he taught a bear to drive, he didnt tell ford what happened when the machine broke, he had dipper and mabel make fake money, ect. but he didnt deserve to be homeless. maybe i was just a closeted teenager who kept emergency clothes and blankets in my car trunk because i was so afraid i would be disowned if my parents found out im trans, and growing up with that fear certainly affects which stan i latched on to, but basically no 17 year old deserves to be homeless (and no, i dont think he is at fault for the portal incident either, that shit just fucking happened by fate or some nonsense. theres no way).

ford isnt faultless. (no, i dont blame him for getting manipulated by bill. i do blame him for being mad at stanley for reactivating the portal when he had been screaming at stanley to help him, which means stan quite literally was doing what ford said, especially considering by the tine he read the warnings in the journal about the portal it had been 30 years of his life working on this. and i blame both of them for not talking about their feelings as teenagers, but it was unfortunately the 60s).

neither of them are faultless, their lives are a comedy of errors, they hurt me to think about, im high while im typing this, i love this show im so normal about it, ford fumbled the bag (fiddleford) so bad man, ect ect

[grunklefordpines]

HI, Ford! In my mind, I can see you jamming out to Depeche Mode.

I do love Depeche Mode!

I used to listen to them mostly during late night research sessions!

Haha—they’re actually one of the first cassettes I listened to upon returning home!

A Interview with Alex Hirsch Update!!

Editing for An Interview with Alex Hirsch is nearly done! @fordtato and I still have a bit more work to do due to various external obligations we've had to take care of first (I mean, I'm in my last semester so I think you can guess how busy right now is for me, lol). Our hope is to announce a release date very soon. We obviously don't wanna rush things and announce one just yet in case we gotta push it back. So, once we know we're ready to release this, we will make sure you all know.

And the interview is not the only thing coming! I have a behind the scenes video planned after the interview I wanna release, a special video discussing something huge I was able to accomplish with Alex Hirsch that concludes a piece of old GF fandom history and a little goofy thing he told us that fits better in a separate video, lol.

All this will be coming soon! I know the channel has been kinda dry lately but all will come in good time. The GF fandom is in for some really cool new trivia and lore to enjoy until the Book of Bill arrives. Plus, I cannot wait to show off this little thing Alex sent me. I think you all will love it. I sure did :P

So stay safe, stay weird, stay tuned and very soon, you'll all know when me and Hana Hyperfixates will announce the release, of An Interview with Alex Hirsch!!
