ALEX GOT THE PUPPETS
Sorry for the long radio silence, a lot of things happened and I was only able to mail the Bill, Stan and Ford puppets out to Alex Hirsch a few weeks ago.
I haven't heard anything yet, and maybe I never will, but I'm really happy that he got them. A Hirsch signed for the package!!!! I hope he enjoys them.

Why Tumblr Has Rolled Out ID Verification
UK legislation: Online Safety Act 2023
Brazil legislation: Digital Statute For Children And Adolescents
Apple App Store Age Verification
These are not tumblr specific policies. Tumblr is implementing age verification in response to legislative moves that were made months ago.
Tumblr is a failing social media site that has escaped death multiple times already; they do not have the social cachet to defy state regulatory agencies. We know they won't say no to Apple, either--the porn ban on tumblr was in response to Apple's crackdown on explicit content.
If you did not know this was happening, you were behind the curve. That is fine. You're caught up now. The next step is to link up with people in your country who are working to preserve privacy, to roll back these laws where they exist, and to prevent their passage where they do not. In the US the organization you want is Stop KOSA--in the EU you can start with Fight Chat Control.
Repealing ID verification and blocking chat control will help everyone, especially the most vulnerable. We can push this back, but we cannot get it done through the Feedback form. We have to get it done at the legislative level and lock it down so it cannot be forced upon us. I see lots of anger out there. Good. Put it to use.
someone's gotta carry all this blame and it ain't gonna be me

GRAVITY FALLS ART BOOK
FINALLY.
Oh my goddddddddddd I have wanted this FOREVER.
As is now traditional, Barnes & Noble have an "exclusive" edition. From the order page:
This Barnes & Noble Exclusive Edition includes a bonus replica of the letter Dipper received in the Gravity Falls finale. Take a road trip . . . back to where it all started. For years, the true origins of Gravity Falls have been hidden under lock and key. Now, for the first time ever, series creator Alex Hirsch and cowriter Rob Renzetti crack open the vault to reveal the definitive visual history of Gravity Falls. Inside The Art of Gravity Falls, youll find never-before-revealed development art from Alex Hirschs personal archives, including first inklings of the characters and world, lost episode ideas, cut jokes, deviously hidden easter eggs, every single one of Mabels sweaters, and much, much more! With interviews from the creative team and a foreword by animation legend James Baxter, The Art of Gravity Falls is a celebration of the incredible artists behind the beloved series, and a blueprint for creatives who want to turn their own ideas into animated worlds. The Mystery Shack is waiting. . . . Are you ready to step inside?
Including the full URL here, because it's kind of hilarious:
https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/untitled-7869-anonymous-anonymous/1149516579
"untitled-7869-anonymous-anonymous" lollll
Yeah, if you search "Gravity Falls" on their site, it does not come up yet. But the order link is live, I just pre-ordered.
I don't have a pre-order link for Amazon yet.
[ID. Above, a tweet from Alex Hirsch saying, "This book is MASSIVE - 256 apges of behind the scenes secrets, concept art, cut stories, never-before-seen origins, a fold-out of every Mabel sweater, and MUCH more! (Emojis of artist palette, pine tree, and question mark.) Me and Rob Renzetti waited 10 years to share this with you and crammed it with as much love as physically possible. Pre-order your copy now!" With a link to the Disney pre-order page - link in body text below. Followed by pages from the book showing concept art for Dreamscaperers, and Into the Bunker. End ID]
Here is the link to the Disney pre-order page. Its drop-down menu links to Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Target, and Books-a-Million sites.
And, here's a tidbit: the Disney page says the book is 252 pages. But Alex's tweet above says it's 256 pages. The longer version seems to be the Barnes & Noble exclusive edition, which also comes with the "See You Next Summer" letter.
Speaking of which - that temp link in the original post to the B&N page now no longer works. Here's the updated B&N link.
you may not like it, but this is what the most fuckable thing in the multiverse looks like
i don't think the theraprism is a good thing, guys
Congrats to Alex for giving birth to Bill Cipher today!
bills an artistic visionary and they should let him out early
For anyone who missed us at ECCC or wasn't there to catch the Ciphertologists, this is the recreation+ (with new original content!) pamphlet we were handing out! Now you, too, can spread the word of Bill Cipher
These were handed out with an additional flier explaining how you can donate to Grief and Hope fundraiser to help LA artists recovering from the fire, as a call to action for all the true Billievers out there
The Billford Charity Kiss sold for over 5k dollars! $5,290 to be exact! An amazing amount raised for Charity. With the total amout overall being $266,480 raised for the Wildfire Relief Fund!
And i need everyone everyone to know that it was bought by a furry madlad called Frederick for his girlfriend Katelyn, who loves Billford.
The very same Frederick who donated 5k to the Charity Stream, to request Billford be drawn (and, had technical difficulties not lead to it being requested by chat first, likely would have been the reason Billford was drawn in the first place).
She's also an angel, who says she's going to upload a HD scan when she gets the drawing. Couldn't have gone to a better place.

The A-Ford-A-Bill Collection: Now Live!
In history, there have been many cases of manipulators and manipulatees. Edison and Tesla, Rasputin and Nicholas, Donkey and Shrek (trust me, that donkey is EVIL!) - but none have gone down in modern history quite so much as a psychotic evil triangle and old man in a smelly trenchcoat.
Introducing the A-Ford-A-Bill collection, capturing the magic of an interdimensional demon trying to twist and turn a genius scientist to suit his needs. This is an exclusive capsule collection of incredible collectables, only available for preorder from Studio Bad Egg from February 14th to March 14th!
What does the collection contain? Well…
Ford-Saken Mind: 8" tall vinyl figure
An exotic 8” vinyl figure of Bill reshaping Ford into one thing he’s never truly had - a friend just like him. While Ford remains in meditation, Bill Cipher adorns him with all manner of accoutrements to create his sole goal - an ally, a friend, and somebody who can join him on his journey - whether he wants to or not. This figure showcases Ford in his younger, more studious years, lost in the mindscape, complete with glow-in-the-dark eyes and mindscape pencil.

Ford-Ever at Odds: 8" tall vinyl figure
A dashing 8” tall vinyl figure of Ford in possession, manipulated by the strings of fate, worked from within. This beautifully spooky figure showcases Ford as we know and love him, with a dark glow in his eyes. Through crooked limbs and that beaming smile, it’s obvious that something isn’t quite right… Perhaps he shouldn’t have shook on it.

Checkmate 3” Stained Glass Enamel Pin
You can tell your dynamic is broken when every conversation feels like a game of strategy. Where the board seems to bend and malform before your eyes, and pieces seem to exchange and intermingle colours, who knows if you can ever truly win… A huge stained-glass effect pin, sitting at 3 inches wide and boasting a glorious stained glass effect to the chess-board laden mindscape. Complete with glow-in-the-dark effect, Studio Bad Egg backstamp and rubber clasp.

Parallel Lines: 8" x 10" Art Print
You’re Acute: 8" x 10" Art Print

Fellow Gravity Falls fans, it is with great excitement that I reveal, the script to Not What He Seems!!
In 2015, a guy named Mason McGrew won a contest Alex Hirsch was hosting by making this awesome stop motion video of the theme song with the VinylMation toys!
His prize was the entire script to Gravity Falls' biggest episode!
I reached out to him last week and he graciously scanned every page and gave me permission to release it for you all to read.
There are some differences in it to the actual episode. Some funny and some...I'm gonna go cry now ;-;
Link to the Google Drive of the script!
Link to Archive Upload I made as well
A huge thank you to Mason for doing this and letting me share this. Please do go check out his work as it's amazing. I'm truly grateful for his kindness and trust in letting me share with you all this rare and amazing piece of Gravity Falls fandom history!
Now go! Read every page, find every cut scene, share what you can. This script is now public and for all of you to enjoy.
I never thought I'd say this but here it is!!
The long lost Gravity Falls "Next Time On," reel has FINALLY been found!
This right here is what made this show happen and the reason why every new Disney cartoon also has a next time on reel. GF's last big lost media hunt is over!
Alex Hirsch said that he was okay if this ever was to leak. So, if this goes down, blame Disney!!
did I do it. did I do the funny
Its this time of the year, lads! Say "Hi" to Dave and welcome the bees!
Oh. And its Christmas soon. Yippie!
