Do you ever watch a show or a movie or any piece of media meant for kids and just think about how the story or character or that one scene or whatever just spoke to your heart and soul, or just how profound it made you happy or break your heart. And just sit their thinking that this is for literal children, who probably still couldn't 100% understand the gravity of what they are consuming or probably couldn't articulate how they felt about it other than say they liked it or they dont, or it made them happy or sad, and you, a grown ass person is just thinking about how this thing meant for kids is just so simple yet complex with so many layers of emotions and plot and etc. That explores themes and subject better than media meant for your age, in a way that is simple yet incredible done.
I found some previously unseen storyboards that former Gravity Falls storyboard artist Alonso Ramirez Ramos posted to his public Facebook page in 2018.
Some of these are from scenes that made it into the show, while others are not. These include some cut scenes from Northwest Mansion Mystery, A Tale of Two Stans, Dungeons, Dungeons and More Dungeons and Roadside Attraction!
Even in 2022, we are still finding new/old stuff related to this show!
I also found this super wholesome drawing that Alonso made in September 2015 when he won an Emmy for his storyboards on Not What He Seems!
i really hate when people treat mabel as The Dumb Twin compared to dipper. the creators have literally said MULTIPLE TIMES that dipper and mabel are of equal intelligence!!! yes she acts silly but she's also 12 years old!!!! the only reason dipper seems "more mature" is bc he has unfathomable levels of anxiety and overthinks everything!!!! and even then he makes some really stupid choices. he's not inherently more rational or smarter he's as much of a little kid as mabel is AGGHHGHH
part of me feels like it's also at least partly bc dipper is more of a stem guy while mabel's more artsy and creative. and guess which one of those fields is considered more valuable!
I wish I could tell the original artist that this drawing permanently changed the entire direction of my life in 2009. I want to shake their hand, look them in the eye, and admit I would not be who I am today if this drawing didn’t exist.
