Just started a Gravity Falls rewatch in honor of the ten-year anniversary and one thing I need to talk about is how fantastic this show is at showing character instead of telling it.
One of my favorite scenes is the beginning of D&D&More D because when Ford is chasing the cycloptopus, each character gives one line that, if you hadn’t seen the show before, would instantly clue you in to who they are as characters. (Dipper: “What is it?” Mabel: “Can we keep it?” Stan: “Kill it! Kill it!”)
But lines like that go back to the first episode! Stan offers Dipper and Mabel an item each from the gift shop and Mabel asks, “really?” while Dipper asks, “what’s the catch?” Even if you hadn’t seen his whole journal-induced my-sister’s-boyfriend-is-a-zombie paranoia, you would know just from that dialogue that Mabel is the more optimistic of the two while Dipper is constantly on the hunt for what could go wrong.
Anyway all the dialogue in this show perfectly serves to add to characterization and I love it so much
#for the record originally I wrote squid thing instead of cycloptopus#and then I was like wait I'm sure that thing had a name#so there you go#we miss you every day cycloptopus#gravity falls#gf#dipper pines#mabel pines#stanford pines#ford pines#stanley pines#stan pines#ray rambles

Somebody brought up that Mabel asked Bill about his "top ten most attractive people or creatures in Gravity Falls" in chapter 23 and he never answered, and I'm procrastinating edits, so I'm gonna comb the wiki and answer on his behalf:
That eye-bat he was dating. If allowed, Bill would fill the list with ten eye-bats and not be lying. They look different to him, he can tell them apart, and they're all hot! He thinks he should be allowed.
Cycloptopus. Do you know how hard it is to find a good eyemouth on Earth? And those TENTACLES.
[REDACTED]. (Bill doesn't particularly find humans physically attractive, apart from their pretty eyes, but then almost all vertebrate Earthlings have pretty eyes. It's the necks, humans look like goofy bobble heads and it just doesn't do it for Bill. Everyone else on this list made it on for being physically attractive—but ONE human makes the list by virtue of sheer mind-blowingly sexy personality. Bill will never admit it out loud. It's Quentin Trembley.)
One time Bill saw this REALLY hot bullfrog.
Mr. What's-His-Face. A man that turned his hobby into a successful job, has a killer sense of interior decor, and when given the ability to choose his own appearance decided to look like a hideous freak and likes it that way? Yeah he's checking all the boxes.
Chamelius Pendraggin. Collects colors, including colors that can drive people insane, which is a wildly attractive hobby as far as Bill's concerned. Also Bill's really into the chameleon eyes. And Chamelius can probably change colors??? Hot. The fact that they could probably only interact on an enchanted page isn't an dealbreaker, sometimes you've gotta go back to the basics. Irritating personality though.
Listen. He's probably never been attracted to a line in his life. However, if the birches were sentient—
The floating eyeballs, different things from eye-bats, it's legal for him to list them separately
Geodites. Unfortunately, they're stupid.
Bill didn't look REALLY closely at what was going on in Mabeland, but he glimpsed a singing tree with eyes with the stuffed corpses of puppets lashed to its branches. Would. If it was, like, psychically detached from Mabel's subconscious. There are options, it can be done.
Speaking of Mabel's inventions, honorable mention #1: for like ten minutes the cartoon character Shimmery Twinkleheart spontaneously came into existence in Gravity Falls in the form of an abominable extradimensional entity made of base clay and forbidden magic. Bizarre temporary existence, desirable for its ephemerality; escapee from the second dimension; to truly comprehend the nature of his existence would drive most mortals to madness; fun shape, pretty color, cute fashion. Would, if Shimmery had a ball gag.
Honorable mention #2 to Soos for rising above most of humanity's mediocre potential and making it, like, 95% of the way to actually being physically attractive. Bill can't stand him though.

[ID: Ten gifs of Ford Pines from Gravity Falls.
1. In the living room of the Mystery Shack, Ford hands Mabel a crossbow. Caption: “I haven’t been in this dimension for a while. It’s okay to give children weapons, right?”
2. Ford smiles and pats his face, which is smoking. Offscreen, Dipper says, “But your face is on fire.” Ford replies, “Yes! It’s much faster than shaving.”
3. Ford and Stan stand in front of the TV in the living room, arguing. The room is covered in Ford and Dipper’s notes for Dungeons, Dungeons & More Dungeons. Caption: “Don’t mock our fantastical monetary system!”
4. Young Ford sits in his college dorm at night, studying. He’s surrounded by stacks of books and is writing something down. He nods off for a second, then jerks back awake and goes back to writing.
5. Ford holds up a cycloptopus, an octopus-like creature with one large eye. It’s blackened and smoking. Ford smiles proudly.
6. Ford stands on the porch of the Mystery Shack, wearing the black and grey clothes he was wearing when he emerged from the portal. He’s holding a stack of papers. Caption: “I’ll need all of your floppy disks and, uh... 8-tracks. Right?”
7. Ford sits at a table next to Mabel, clutching a black bag in his arms and frowning. Caption: “I can assure you, if there’s an owl in this bag, he’s long dead.”
8. Young Ford, right after arriving in Gravity Falls for the first time, is startled by something offscreen, causing his glasses to slide down his nose. He pushes them back up and grins excitedly.
9. In the Fearamid, Ford has just painted the zodiac on the floor and is standing in the middle. In the foreground, Pacifica says, “The world’s most confusing game of hopskotch?” Ford turns back to look at her and says, “No, a prophecy! Although it would be a pretty fun game of hopskotch.”
10. Ford stands by the entrance to the basement of the Mystery Shack, talking to Dipper with a serious expression on his face. He says, “On the dark, weird road I travel, I’m afraid you cannot follow.” Dipper stares at him in stunned silence. With a cheerful smile, Ford adds, “Well, call me for dinner!”

Here's the art I've been holding onto while was waiting for discord to start cooperating!
Eyebats (default and weirdmageddon version)
Cycloptopus
Bill Cipher (Fully Powered form)
I'm thinking Bill would be able to switch between his less intimidating form and the big scary one and that doing so would affect stats (Higher charisma as small, higher intimidation as big?) but probably cost an action. Any thoughts?
(If you missed the announcement, I shut the discord server due to technical issues)

Going over the plan carefully. Ford has drawn diagrams.
This is an homage to a fan theory I’ve become really fond of over the years -- that the whole cycloptopus incident that cold-opens “Dungeons, Dungeons & More Dungeons” was staged by Ford (and the cycloptopus) as a way for him to interact with and perhaps get on the good side of his family.
I can’t take credit for this theory: here (2018) are some posts (2018) from the past (2016) in which people floated the idea or discussed it. (Hubris basement!)
Do I think this is what the show intended? Probably not -- I have to point to the bit where Dipper falls in and the jar holding the cycloptopus breaks, and when Ford shows up the cycloptopus kind of shrinks back in fear. That doesn’t suggest co-conspirators to me. HOWEVER. Honestly, everything else DOES. For one thing, the show IS clear that “don’t let it taste human flesh!” was a... fib, because Ford is completely unconcerned when it latches onto his face later. For another, even though he zapped it with the gloves and it got burned, a fairly short time later it looks completely normal, so zapping it didn’t seem to have much effect on it. (In this theory, then, in which it volunteers, we have to assume that it didn’t actually mind being zapped that much.)
Come to think of it, the idea that Ford planned this WITH the cycloptopus may be a new wrinkle that I’ve introduced. Although this cartoon from 2015 is also suggestive of a non-adversarial cycloptopus.

Okay so I was rewatching The Ember Island Players last night and I know we talk a lot about the play being how Zuko found out about Jet’s fate, but does anyone ever think about how it was also probably the only context he had for a lot of the gaang’s adventures? Like that play is also how he discovers that Aang, Katara, and Sokka knew Jet in the first place. He meets Bumi in the next episode and the only background information he has on this man is Bumi randomly rhyming in a cave while Sokka and Katara were slowly consumed by crystals. The only context he ever probably gets for “my girlfriend turned into the moon” is that one weird scene with Yue talking about pickled fish as she ascends into the sky

Okay I know we’re all freaking out about Hunter and Darius and Willow but the start of this episode also told us so much about Raine.
First of all, the fact that they were the only coven head to turn around when Hunter was calling. Taken together with Hunter’s palisman observations, this could signify a prior connection between the two of them- or just that Raine is a naturally empathetic person who doesn’t want to ignore this clearly lost young boy.
But then, look at their body language as Terra leads them away. Everything is slumped. It’s so clear that they wanted to stay and talk to Hunter. They’re definitely not as willing to go along with Terra as they were during the Coven Day parade- everything about their posture suggests how tired they are of being controlled by her. It’s hopeful to see.
(Also they still post dumb violin jokes on their penstagram and Eda’s still trying to get in touch with them, both of which seem like good signs)

Just started a Gravity Falls rewatch in honor of the ten-year anniversary and one thing I need to talk about is how fantastic this show is at showing character instead of telling it.
One of my favorite scenes is the beginning of D&D&More D because when Ford is chasing the cycloptopus, each character gives one line that, if you hadn’t seen the show before, would instantly clue you in to who they are as characters. (Dipper: “What is it?” Mabel: “Can we keep it?” Stan: “Kill it! Kill it!”)
