sci-fi writers will spend two weeks researching quantum physics just to write one paragraph, but when it comes to naming planets? oh, that’s just Bobtron-7.

Bart can be the neurodivergent angst analogy of realizing the world isn't built for you.

No matter how much you shove yourself into the constraints of the modern world, you weren't made for it. You constantly have to change yourself for mere survival. It's exhausting, but what else are you supposed to do? You're stuck here.

After all these years!! It's FINALLY out!! The team at Alchemy Paint Studios have released the long awaited Gravity Falls Reanimated project. With the work of over 200 incredibly talented animators behind it, this is a labour of love for this show that few others out there can ever hope for! So, do yourself a favour before you go trick or treating or to that not S&P approved party, and watch it and show your love and support to the whole team!

Happy Halloween and congrats to the whole Gravity Falls Reanimated team. It was an honour watching this project grow and make it to the finish line after 3 long years :P

Personal note: I came across this project many years back out of the blue and followed along to it on and off since. I'll admit at times I thought it would never be completed but here we are. A huge congrats to every single person who organized, worked on, animated and more on this. Seeing the Gravity Falls fandom still so alive and well in 2023 is phenomenal and a true testament to the timeless legacy that this show will have. You all have so much to be proud of and while I couldn't contribute myself, it was an hounour to see Gravity Falls Reanimated make it to the finish line. Stay Weird :)

Instant Eternity

Time travel involving the infinite realms is truly a bizarre thing. Sometimes it follow one set of rules, and sometimes that set of rules may as well not exist. Usually, however, it works in one of two ways, the first is when the time travel is achieved through artificial means such as clockworks portals and allows for the altering of the timeline as one would expect time travel would allow. The other type of time travel is through natural means, portals usually, and it’s just that, Natural. That portal to the past opened up in the past the same moment it did in the present. If you step into the portal in the year 2000 then you already stepped out of the portal hundreds of years ago. It’s A Thing That Already Happened. Danny himself experienced this, as while chasing Vlad through time they fought in the middle of a Roman coliseum and, whoopsy daisy, set a really big fire. A fire which Danny had learned about years before he even had his accident.

So, the infimap can take the user anywhere, anywhen. And the infimap is just that, a map. It doesn’t make new roads, it just drags you across already existing paths. So it is a natural form of time travel, if you use it to go in time to kill your grandfather in order to insure your never born your interference will result in your grandparents falling in love and your birth.

Danny realizes that anytime he needs to heal from a battle or has gone 156 hours without sleeping or eating he can use the infimap to pop back to the past for a few days and then have the map bring back to the “Present”, exactly one second after he left. A three week vacation that lasted one second. At first he’s really wary about using this, worried about accelerated aging or getting lost in the time stream and a hundred other issues. At first.

It’s been months sense the accident. Sam and Tucker have both shot up several inches. Danny, on the other hand, hasn’t grown sense the accident. At all. They fought a ghost who could rapidly age opponents, a single slap turned Tucker into a decrepit old man. The ghost wrapped his hands around Danny’s throat and spent 5 minutes trying to strangle him while Danny bought time for Sam and Tucker to pull off the plan. The sucked him into the thermos, his influence on time ceased so Tucker returned to his proper state. “Jeez it sure is lucky he didn’t try and age me, right guys? Ha ha ha”. Danny gets blasted through a natural portal while making a trip through the zone and spends years trying to get home, not aging a day.

He can’t deny it after that, can’t ignore it. He’s immortal. He’s going to live forever. He’s going to watch his friends and family whither away and die out. He’s going to have to spend the rest of his life wandering from place to place trying not to get outed as the same 14 year old who save someone’s great great grandma 100 years ago.

After having his first middeath crisis, suddenly the only reasons he had to not spend years on end wandering the world and the past is gone, even if he loses the infimap, worst case scenario he’ll just take the long way home. Suddenly, he’s dreading the next 80 years of the “Present”. He decides that if he’s going to watch his friends and family grow old and frail he’s going to make sure it’s takes as long as it possibly could, from his perspective. By the time they’re 20 Danny’s gonna have 200 years under his belt.

He becomes a temporal tourist, hopping into the past every time the late night fights and schoolwork become to much. Spends years in every civilization imaginable, mastering every skill he can, leaving legends in his wake.

I feel like Danny and his adventures do have a lot of potential for story’s, as it’s a pretty good setup for having Danny in any type of time period or historical event for extended periods of time, fighting in the trenches of World War I, exploring the Americas during the era of colonialism, sailing the seas a swashbuckling vigilante pirate. I, however, have most of my related ideas being based around crossovers. So most of that will be in part two, so that people who like to filter out all that can still see this post.

hang on have I not mentioned this enough- Hi! Yes! Vincent is Catalan, from Barcelona! I usually talk about them as being/using Spanish but that's honestly just because I know that's what most people would recognise/understand, compared to how relatively niche Catalan is unfortunately. A lot of the time it's more important in the moment to connect somewhat even if it's not entirely accurate "^^ (and they do use Spanish, it's just their second language instead).

Being Catalan specifically is a key part of Vin as a character because, well... I'm projecting, honestly! I live in Barcelona! I may be British, but I've lived here for most of my life now and it's an equally important part of me as a person. Writing about Vin is an excuse to write about the experience of immigrating (though admittedly in reverse of my own) as well as Catalan language, culture, politics, history...

One day I'll sit down and write out some of this stuff and approximately nobody will know the cultural/historical context <3

me trying to piece together a concept for how Din Eidyn looks in my comic

[kayzero]

i wanna do something weird and fucky and majorly audience-participationy with my fantasy universe that would both be entertaining and also help me worldbuild but i don’t think enough people would be interested and there’s no audience participation without an audience y’know what i mean

i am asking for affirmation, gay people in my phone—if i made a fantasy worldbuilding sideblog with like fiction snippets and weekly exploration polls would you send asks

So fucking funny the shit ppl will fearmonger abt re: nyc like just today I saw two massive freakouts, one abt those ladies who sell cut fruit cups (immigrants working hard in public = bad/dangerous), the other abt that white girl gettin passed a j on the train (young black guys having fun in public = bad/dangerous) — insane to me how these weirdos can't see how transparently racist their arguments against Normal People Just Vibing Out are (jk obvs they Know its racist that's The Point I just think it's crazy how they genuinely don't seem to realize that ppl who aren't in rightwing echo chambers &/or Go The Fuck Outside more than occasionally won't just dumbly fall in line & agree w them)
