Quick doodle of them ✨🛌

@tswwwit mentioned Bill would wear something like this in the end of “Confessing It” and the image cracked me up!

FINALLY, AFTER ALL THESE YEARS, the interview I did last year with Alex Hirsch is live!

Ever wondered what's up with that changed line in Journal 3? Have you been dying to solve the red rectangles in the margins? Have you ever wondered if there was ever more grim and dark material planned for the blacklight ink in the special edition?

All these answers and more have been revealed.

And for MORE answers, such as the fate of the GF artbook, or the identity of the baby in ATOTS, check out the companion video by @hkthatgffan

Credit for the art in the thumbnail in both videos goes to @stephreynaart!

reblog if you’ve read fanfictions that are more professional, better written than some actual novels. I’m trying to see something

A list of things I asked Alex Hirsch, creator of Gravity Falls:

  • Were there any excerpts cut in from Journal 3 that you can share?
  • What would you change if you were remaking Gravity Falls today? (feat. a discussion on inadvertent transphobia and Grenda)
  • What's the deal with that (kinda gay) line being changed in Journal 3?
  • Was there more grim or mature content planned for the Blacklight edition?
  • What do the red rectangles in J3 mean?
  • Is there anything in Journal 3 that has not been discovered or unsolved yet?
  • Why did you change Fiddleford's creation of the memory gun to be after the gremoblin attack?
  • Thoughts on the Ford+Fiddleford reunion at and after Weirdmeggedon?
  • What are your thoughts on how many in the fandom have interpreted Ford as part of the LGBTQIA+ community?
  • Was Bill able to possess Ford in the multiverse before Ford got the metal plate installed into his head in Dimension 52?

Beyond these questions, Alex gave so many insights into the "complex, fucked up" relationship between Bill Cipher and Ford, who would win in a fight (both sober and drunk) between Stan and Ford, and how fandom engages with content today .

Watch the full video here:

And for a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT INTERVIEW VIDEO, including the questions that ThatGFFan asked Alex (the baby in ATOTS, questions about the Gravity Falls pilot and MUCH MUCH MORE), check out @hkthatgffan's video here.

TRANSCRIPT, INCLUDING QUESTIONS FROM BOTH INTERVIEWS:

Our fandom forbearers did NOT suffer through Anne Rice, strikethrough, and other bullshit for fucking ACOTAR and Harry Potter fans to fucking ruin it for all of us by selling fanfiction. I am not losing novel length yaoi epics because some of you don't know how to act in fannish spaces and yes I do blame the booktokification of fanfic but I also blame those of you that treat fandom like content to consume and not a community to engage with.

i do unironically think the best artists of our generation are posting to get 20 notes and 3 reblogs btw. that fanfic with like 45 kudos is some of the best stuff ever written. those OCs you carry around have some of the richest backstories and worldbuilding someone has ever seen. please do not think that reaching only a few people when you post means your art isn't worth celebrating.
