Weeeee'll Meet Agaaaaaain...

Well, that's it! The shop for preorders of the Gravity Falls Seasons Zine is now closed!

Thank you all for your enthusiasm and support! It is so awesome to have so many kindred spirits of people who love the Pines Family- thank you!!! (And can you believe the amount of stretch goals you unlocked? Holy Smokes!!!)

It's going to be a little quiet around here for a bit while we put in the orders for the merch and the zines, but we will continue to monitor our accounts and post updates as they happen! In the meantime, check out our contributors' blogs/accounts and give them a follow if that's your thing- their awesome talent will hold you over!

We hope to have the bundles ship out during the first few months of 2025 (closer than you think)! Our contributors have worked so hard and created such amazing things, and we are going to make sure everything gets to you as quickly as possible!

Thank you once again for being so fantastic and for all of your support! And as always...

Stay weird!

OK here's actual Big Mama Art/Practice and her sons that she loves very much (why is she so hard to draw)

[awkwardsimpsons]

Been practicing the Simpsons art style a little :']

Hi @jflare205 you are amazing with the Voice Of Monty I got a question though 🥺 dose it hurts your voice when you act

Haha, I've gotten this question a few times in the discord too! The answer is no! When I first started, it used to sting my throat a little bit, but now it doesn't bother me at all, it's just like talking in my natural voice now! :D

FUCK YOU CALLED ME OUT THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I STARTED DOING

Alright, some terminology:

Graphs are composed of Nodes (think of them as stops) and Paths (the path between the nodes)

An 'even node' is a node that has an even number of paths coming into/out of it

An 'odd node' is, you guessed it, a node with an odd number of paths coming into or out of it.

so I started off trying to figure out if I could turn this into a graph where the doors are the paths, as if a graph has at most 2 odd nodes then it is solveable.

The reason why it's at least two odd nodes is due to whether or not a graph is eulerian or semi-eulerian! Due to the "going through each path exactly once" clause, you need to go into, then out of, a node, so that'd be two nodes. But the thing is, where do you start? if you start and end at the same node, the first time you leave and the last time you enter add to 2, as well as every other time you entered and exited (you can't enter without exiting). This means that if there are only even nodes, a path is only possible if you can start and end on the same node, otherwise you have to traverse at least two paths twice (one to exit the starting node, another to enter the ending node). A graph with only even nodes is 'Eulerian'

If you are able to start and end at different nodes, however, the situation changes. This means that you will leave the start node without reentering at the end, and enter the end node without exiting afterwards. This means that if there are 2 odd nodes, there is a path, but it has to start at one odd node and end at the other. A graph with two odd nodes is 'semi-eulerian'

There have to be an even number of odd nodes due to the handshaking lemma (a path has to start and end at a node, meaning every path increases the total order by 2), so there are no graphs with 1 odd node.

Now this is where I got stuck. I couldn't figure out what to make the nodes. if you left a room outside, you could enter any outside door, but would only have to pass through that door once.

But then I realised - I could make OUTSIDE a node.

Now, it's relatively simple. By counting the doors connected to each node, it is revealed that there are 4 ODD NODES; outside, the middle bottom room, and both top rooms. Therefore, it is impossible to construct a path that goes through every door exactly once without adding or closing a door.

Haters be like

“It’s totally possible to make a path that goes through every door exactly once”

I was planning on waiting until I finish the whole thing, but these illustrations kinda came out too nice to not post so soon ✨ especially the 2nd one. I really like how all the blues came out

infinite's mask gave me so much trouble that I actually just went and traced it from a screencap

Thoughts and doodles

(Please do not use, or repost my works anywhere without explicit permission from me thank you <3)

[nardos-primetime]

Practice sheet and a Leo doodle for good will

I did one run where I traced over and tried to build with shapes more (in red) right over the screenshot then after I moved the screenie to the side and tried to do the same without a direct trace and going freehand instead. This also was supposed to help with me drawing without zooming in an insane amount, since I have a problem with doing that and would like to get better at zooming out at least during sketches. Also I need to get better at fullbodies if I want to do the comics and even just basic fanart I want to make in the future. So I'm putting effort in trying to learn.

Uh, if anyone has any tips for practice let me know, I'd love to find more ways to try and learn!

Screenshots used under the cut incase anyone wants them idk.

still getting a grasp on this whole no gravity thing (by @jamisonrivv)

Now that I remember the hug that Mychael and I gave each other, how strong is it?

It's a bit of a tight squeeze but not enough to hurt you! You might be left feeling a little breathless. He just got a little too into it,,

[mallyreallylikesjinx]

Yandere!Jinx x reader x platonic! Isha

TW: Implied kidnapping, Jinx is kind of delusional, sex mention but like just the word sex

When your captor arrived back at your prison you didn't expect that she would bring a child with her.

"This is Isha, say hi." She says to you, offhandedly like she didn't just pick up a random kid of the street. "She's staying with us from now on."

You did not want to say hi, to be honest you wanted to punch Jinx in the face. She up and left for who knows how long and now she adopted a child?

That is a new level of audacity from Jinx.

You say nothing for long enough that it makes Jinx's eye twitch, she takes a deep breath instead of spiraling.

...

You didn't know she could do that.

Jinx kisses you, "Y/N is my girlfriend. She's a bit grumpy, right now. C'mon, I'll show you around!" She grabs Isha's hand and starts energetically touring her around a not child safe environment.

You resist the urge to roll your eyes into the back of your head.

After a couple of weeks, everything became normal. Isha and Jinx would go out every once in a while, you're not allowed to come, Jinx thinks you'll get kidnapped. You're not sure how to explain that you're already kidnapped without putting her into some sort of breakdown.

Today, the duo decided to stay home. They wanted to spend time with their favourite person (second-favourite in Isha's situation that girl idolizes Jinx.)

You're being used as chair by Jinx at the moment. You suspect there might be a bomb or a big gun on her person, she is heavy.

"Uno!" Jinx exclaims, setting down her last card. She turns to face you, "This our third win," 'our', she says because she thinks that you belong to each other, "You're a good luck charm."

She kisses you and drags it out on purpose. Isha looks like she just walked in on her parents having sex.

It makes you laugh. You've gotten used to this type of peace.

You like this type of peace. You wonder how long it will keep.
