Your Curated Tumblr Experience Awaits!
Alex Hirsch - Blog Posts
I've been searching for the exclusive edition for months now. Thank you for posting these pages, seriously!!! 😭💖
Here’s the individual B&N book of Bill pages (instead of the spreads):
Here are the individual pages (they should be easier to read)
Once again if you want a close-up of something just ask :)
Many thanks to the lovely @himitsy-chan for providing with the pdf of the original!!!
I promised more Gravity Falls art so here it is 🫶💚. I drew Dipper and Mabel as young adults, they’re 19!
Dipper is mostly the same, I decided to draw him without a hat because I like the idea that he stopped being shy about his birthmark. Mabel I gave highlights, an industrial piercing and belly button piercing, tattoos and false lashes. I also imagine she crocheted the little patches on her pants herself. I think Mabel would be very creative and expressive with her appearance.
Thanks so much for the support on the last post y’all! I’m really flattered 🫶🖤 Here are the sketches of Stan and Ford I’d mentioned! This time I tried my best to replicate the Gravity Falls style.
Currently I’m obsessed with Gravity Falls and it seems like everybody else is too so I thought I’d share my drawing of Dipper and Mabel in my art style. Probably will post more Gravity Falls art soonish, have some Stan sketches.
Found this saved in my Pinterest stuff at the perfect time.
No time to make actual art but nobody will ever guess what shows I finally watched over Christmas
Interactive physical media? F the H yes!
I want to KISS the person who made this display, that is AMAZING
It’s literally Gravity Falls- like the show was decent enough, albeit weird in the first season. Then season two happened and BOOM WE GET CULTS CHAOS AND MURDER- I love this show so much oh my god. It’s even better when you buy a copy of Journal Three. How did Alex get away with this and how do I become that great.
Alex Hirsch it’s been nine months and three days(give or take). Alex Hirsch have you given birth yet? Alex Hirsch update us please.
I have noticed that the pope just died too. Is Bill the new pope? We need answers Hirsch.
WE GOT TO HEAR JK SIMMONS DO FORD AGAIN IM UNWELL
I just love the fact that S&P didn't approve "Bottles will be spun" (because it was implying that teenagers like kissing? what an absurd idea)
(screenshots taken in https://youtu.be/oYp0O-rle20?si=-Z639y0j67SgrWRe)
but they did approve this without any complaints:
(I don't think this is a big deal, but it is certainly more inappropriate than "bottles will be spun" in a flyer, at least the first one. And I won't even talk about the scary scenes in the cartoon.)
So, I think we all should thank to S&P for censoring the most inappropriate scenes in Gravity Falls. This isn't about a old man in some kind of bar/pub surrounded by younger ladies, this also isn't about a almost (or maybe totally) naked old man drinking "rich people water" in a kid's show.
THE REAL PROBLEM HERE ARE TEENAGERS KISSING, LIKE WHAT IS WRONG WITH ALL OF YOU?! WHY DO YOU LET TEENAGERS KISS?? TEENAGERS SHOULD BE TOTALLY FORBIDDEN FROM KISSING EVERYWHERE!!
Like, have you ever thought about the quantity of germs and microbes that they pass on when they kiss?! And the fact that they mix their saliva?! Ugh, absolutely disgusting.
Having said that, I think that the government should implement a law that prevents teenagers from kissing. (Thanks for opening my eyes, S&P, kisses.)
(This is a joke, please don't this seriously)
I got to the point after watching the credits where I started expecting to see
Alex Hirsch as the voice of: everybody
That charity stream added 10 years to my life, watered my plants, fed my dogs, paid off my car, cooked my dinner, finished my essays, wrote a whole 276 page novel, & gave me a dopamine rush the likes of which I doubt I will ever feel again.
I won? Kinda? Maybe? Fuck yeah
Okay, so, I decided to mess around in Google while I had my free time and found something interesting:
Remember when bill said?
About that. I decided to look through moths and found one INTERESTING specimen.
STAY WITH ME. Let's list up the coincidences.
FIRST of all: "Euclidia" in the name (I know where that resonates from, I know.)
SECOND of all: Triquetra - "triangular figure"
THIRD of all: That damn moth is yellow shaded with black triangular patters on its wings.
This specific moth would be Fords FAVORITE, in the image of his muse.
He would be so proud of it. [heartbroken] [heartbroken]
okay now let's move to whatever I had in mind later on:
"There is a specialized relationship with host plants is common in moths and it adds a unique ecological dimension to each species, including Euclidia triquerta."
As I read, for Euclidia triquerta it's preferably clovers.
I just imagined Bill being THIS specific moth, while Ford is a four leaved clover. (Clover with four leaves represent "luck and fortune", but in reality this is just the meaning which people assigned to four leaved clover themselves, just for it having something "extra and rare". But in reality It's not any different from avarage three leaved clover. and never will be.)
Back to their relationship:
"together they create a symbiotic relationship where clovers provide a rich and safe food source for the moths, in turn, help with clover's natural ecosystem dynamics, stimulating plant growth."
One helps the other to grow at the end for moth to eat it, because it's nature and that's how it works.
I am ready to make an AU out of this and I don't know how because it will look absolutely ridiculous. Can work with moth but how am I gonna make him a CLOVER......
Don't mess with us, gravity falls fans, we're psychotic
I'm pulling an all nighter to watch the stream cuz IT WILL BE 5AM FOR ME BROOOOOO
Do I have a lecture in the morning? Yea
Do I give a fuck? No
Will I regret it later? Also no
Gravity falls is Everything to me, I can afford stay a lil longer. (It was only day I planned to sleep actually. Ig not happening. I am burn out and sleep deprived FOR MONTHS. gravity falls is better.)
Come check out the stream tonight guys! It’s for a good cause and who knows what could happen! 😃😃😃
Ya’ll.
Some silly drawings I did during last night's charity stream!
During last night's Gravity Falls charity stream with Alex, Jason, and Kristen, was there anyone recording the stuff that happened before they got the stream fully working? Because there's this bit that Jason did really early on where he was just, showing the camera almonds he was eating?? Idk it was really dumb and it made me laugh really hard and if it becomes lost media I will cry
Quick reminder that this is Alex Hirsch. This man created my favorite TV show ever and made a 12 year old me feel the most seen he ever felt because of the amazing characters and story in Gravity Falls. This man changed my life and also happened to have won a bird calling contest and went on TV to show off his skills. What a guy.
Yea... for charity bill.....
PANEL HIGHLIGHTS
If Dipper were the one in a bubble instead of Mabel, his ideal world would be him and Ford starring in an x-files type show (with Dipper being the smarter one lmao). Mabel would have rescued Dipper just like he did her
Bill watches The Duchess Approves
He can’t tell us specifically if Dip and Mabe’s parents are divorced but he was talking about how his own parents are and he and Ariel stayed with their great aunt while the divorce was happening soooo
All of this part about Stan’s dreams https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTFxdxmDK/
Alex just giving a kid a free copy of TBOB just because
Alex wearing this fucking thing
THIS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED I SWEAR TO THE AXOLOTOL!!!!
You cannot convince me this isn’t what happened.
A little late to the party- But I HAD to redraw fishnets Bill from the GF stream- I thought it was a bit more on brand yk? Lolz
I need to rant about them, but don’t know which ones to start with cuz I put an unreasonable amount of thought into my au variations and yeah
More people need to know about this
The tight writing in Gravity Falls just gets crazier and crazier because Alex Hirsch in the director’s commentary of Dipper & Mabel vs. the Future (11:25) says:
“Ford sees Dipper as someone who’s special like himself. That’s Ford’s great flaw, is arrogance. Is he believes that there’s special people, and everyone else. That human attachments are actually weaknesses. And the song and dance that he’s giving Dipper right now, is the song and dance that he gave McGucket, back when they were younger… ‘You and me are different, we’re better than everyone else. We have a path that no one else can understand, and only us can do this.’ It’s a very seductive idea for Dipper… Dipper is a smart kid, but Ford’s projecting. Ford loves Dipper because he sees someone who’ll tell him ‘yes’ to everything. Who’ll never challenge him, who’ll do a really insane dangerous mission.”
I CAN’T BE THE ONLY ONE WHO’S SEEING THE BILL -> FORD -> DIPPER PIPELINE HERE. YOU CAN JUST REPLACE THE NAMES IN THE ABOVE QUOTE. I’M GOING INSANE.
Gravity Falls and the cycle of “Hey, person who feels outcast from your society like me, you’re special, fuck human connection, join me and be something great!”
It's finally the 23rd. Also this tweet by Alex Hirsch is exactly 10 years old now
It’s June 15th. You know what that means.
Happy birthday to our favorite old men AND happy 12th anniversary Gravity Falls‼️🎉
It’s hard to believe GF came out that long ago. Of course it’s different for me because I just watched it 1 or 2 years ago and not when it aired on TV. I’m a little disappointed in myself by that fact
Soo the OG Pines twins are now even older than they were before. If Stan and Ford were 60 or so in the show, then they’d be about 72 now. I decided to draw them younger because look how cute they were ☺️
I don’t mean to brag but I really love the way Ford’s glasses look
You may notice the hearing aid in Stanley’s ear, there’s actually a reason for that! Stan canonically wears hearing aids in the series. It was probably just a joke to make fun of how old he is because they’re only mentioned once and never again. BUT I decided to roll with it!
My older cousin and his twin (RIP Charlie, he died a couple days after he was born) were born prematurely, which isn’t uncommon for twins. So it can be assumed that Stan and Ford were also born early. Since my cousin was born so soon, his hearing didn’t develop properly and he’s been deaf his entire life.
So, I headcanon that Stan was born deaf or hard of hearing. That’s why I draw him with a hearing aid! I don’t know if it’s accurate to his time period, but I still think it looks pretty good.
I think we can all agree that cartoon senior citizens are a gift to this world Uncle Iroh
