There's so many new ppl in the fandom right now I felt the need to remind everyone of The Before Times (the Early-to-Mid 2010s Gravity Falls Fandom Experience™:)
• Mystery Kids and that sickass fanmade animation/storyboard of it. By extension, Parapines (Dipper x Norman from Paranorman) being a super popular ship
• Depravity Falls
• Reverse Falls
• Ask blogs for all of the above things
• When we all thought Stanley was Stanford and Stanford was Stanley (or thought the Stan Twin Theory was too far-fetched/wasn't real)
• The fandom-wide debate of whether Stan said "*I* have them all" or "*WE* have them all"
• People genuinely thinking Stan was secretly evil
• People genuinely thinking McGucket was the Author
• People thinking Bill was just a mischievous, chaotic neutral trickster with no evil intent
• People thinking Dipper was possessed by Bill during Not What He Seems
• People somehow predicting that Pacifica was the llama on the zodiac wheel as early as 2012 even though it made no sense until Weirdmageddon????
• Billdip & Mabill.
• PINECEST. EVERYWHERE. YOU COULD NOT ESCAPE IT.
• Mystery Trio (Stanford, Stanley, and Fiddleford)
• the "please draw Pacifica with a grocery cart full of Wonderbread" creep bothering EVERY. SINGLE. ARTIST. IN. THE. FANDOM.
• The fandom-wide meme of everyone making ironic Billford AMVs set to early 2000s-2010s breakup songs out of the same like. Four clips after The Last Mabelcorn released
