hey anon you should watch gravity falls for a lot of reasons and here are ten of them:
1. Positive sibling relationship between the main characters that doesnt involve them constantly picking on or being rude to one another
2. An unconventional but warm familial dynamic between them and their temporary caregiver and his employees. The family as a whole and the importance of their relationships are the crux of the show and are almost gauranteed to give you warm fuzzy feelings
3. Nice character designs and animation
4. Well written mystery that the show spends time building up and then unravelling (with some mysteries still as of yet unanswered despite the show having told a complete story)
5. Cool supernatural creatures, pre-existing or fabricated for the show
6. A host of interesting characters, mains and sides, who manage to endear themselves to the audience by being interestingly flawed and complex or simply quirky. Their relationships with the family are so much fun to watch as the develop
7. Great atmosphere! Perfectly captures the feeling of living in a small town and on the pacific northwest. Makes you want to go live in a log cabin and set off fireworks on the roof with your loved ones
8. A truly frightening main villain who still manages to be fun and engaging and enjoyable even while being completely evil
9. Excellent humor and writing, a lot of which is oddly cynical and dark for something that aired on the disney channel. And a lot of it is charcter driven which makes it feel comfortable and cheery when you feel like youve grown to know the characters.
10. Holy shit things get so dark near the end of season 1 and season 2 is just an almost constant drop into “how fucked up can we make this before the censors make us stop”. So much violence and horror, plenty of which is onscreen but most of which is implied.
The main characters’ summer caregiver is their great uncle stan. He is a sixty something year old shady con man with a heart of gold and a silver fox and at least a quarter of the fandom (including me) wants to bang him like a screen door in a hurricane.
