I hear a certain mouse lives here. I’d like to have a few words with him.

Ok, technically I am on vacation with my family. But I am still working. I even snagged an interview with an under appreciated Gravity Falls crew member.

Yes technically I am at a convention for my other favorite TV show— Psych. But I did met a couple of folks from a sleepy little town called Twin Peaks. I suggested they take a visit to Gravity Falls and they seemed pretty into it.

As I’m rounding out the back half of this book, I got to sit down with my friends at Mystery Shack Lookback and talk about curators, the Simpsons, if podcasts are even real (spoiler: they’re an illusion! Buy gold!) Now I’m shifting through hours of repetitive gags and off topic stories for the nuggets of gold they gave me. @charleydriftwood

I’ve known about this for a few months now and it feels so good to not have to keep the big secret anymore. My bigger worry is… did my section make it in???

[keepweirdzine]

Now announcing Keeping It Weird: a Dipper & Mabel Pines centric Gravity Falls zine!🌲🌠 Planned to release as a free digital PDF on August 31st, 2026.

Official information and guidelines will be available in April, but here's a Read More on what to expect!

🐷THEME: Dipper & Mabel after the summer of the show. Have you drawn what they look like next summer? Maybe you've drawn them at college age? This all counts! SUB-THEMES: Celebrating birthdays, visiting the Falls for winter/summer, life in Piedmont, bonding w/ Grunks, etc!

📘HOW TO JOIN?: This zine is open entry, meaning that submissions will be accepted by email or form and everything received that follows guidelines will be accepted. There are no contributor applications, no Discord server, no schedule for check-ins.

🐷Art & fic are both allowed! If you are a sculptor, fiber artist, cosplayer, or other media artist, it is being considered.

📘The zine is SFW and not about shipping. Other characters are important to Dipper & Mabel, so they are not disallowed. But the twins are the focal point!

✨The final submission deadline will likely be August 10th. Our Carrd and guidelines will be available in April when we formally open submissions! I wanted to announce the zine a little early so people would have more time to prepare.

Stay weird, and see you next time, everyone!

You can't convince me otherwise.

The use of blue is amazing. I wish Ian would answer my emails to talk about it.

What do I even say about Gravity Falls ending 10 years ago?

In the days leading up to the finale, I recreated the flag from the promo materials (the first of its kind) and posted it to Twitter. It was the first interaction I had with Alex. The show’s ending felt like a literal wound, knowing that a huge part of my life was over— and I wondered what could possibly be next.

Well, it turns out everything after the finale would be the most important parts of my life. If you had told me back then where Gravity Falls would take me; I’d think you were a liar. But I’m so proud to be in this fandom and so excited to see how it changes in years to come.

Hi everyone! ✨

I’m a Communication Studies student (Cinema and Television) and I’m currently writing my dissertation (final thesis) on transmediality in animated series, using Gravity Falls as a case study.

It’s a show I’ve loved since 2014 and that has meant a lot to me over the years 💙

To carry out my research, I need your help! I’ve created a short survey about the series, which you can find below. But I need as many answers to the survey as possible.

📋 About the survey:

- it includes only a few simple multiple-choice questions

- it asks things like when you watched the show or how active you are in the fandom

- it takes just 2 minutes to complete

If you’re a Gravity Falls fan and would like to help:

✨ fill out the survey

🔁 share it with as many people as possible

If you’re not familiar with the show but still want to support me:

🔁 share the survey

❤️ interact with the post so it can reach more people

I’ll be truly grateful for any kind of help. Thank you so much 💫

This February 15th marks the 10-year anniversary of Gravity Falls’ finale; Weirdmageddon 3: Take Back the Falls. And we’re marking the occasion as best we can!

Like the 10-year anniversary of Gravity Falls’ premiere in 2022, I’m opening the floor to all of you! I’m working on a special video to mark the day comprised of the emotions of that episode from fans. So, with that said, here’s what I ask from you!

How did the ending of Gravity Falls impact you and your life since? Share your feelings on the finale and how it helped you through life, if it was a defining moment in your childhood or adult life, how it paved a major path in your life for the better if it did, influences on your viewing preferences of shows and movies, etc. Basically, anything that made the finale special to you and how you dealt with the end of Gravity Falls, I wanna know.

Like the 2022 video, there are some rules to follow, so listen carefully! I have updated them a bit from what we learned with that video.

Per the above paragraph, share in your recording what GF’s end meant to you and how it has affected your life since. Also, if you can, your thoughts on if it was a good finale or not.

Mention when you watched the finale. Was it the night it premiered or years on when you watched GF for the first time. I’m preferably looking for fans there the night of in 2016 and were in the fandom when Alex Hirsch announced GF was ending, but post finale premiere submissions are accepted too.

All submissions must be SFW. Please refrain from discussing in it anything that may be explicit or trigger inducing such as depression, abuse, harm, etc. I understand that for some that may have been part of their memories with the finale and GF may have been something that helped you through that time, and while if you are comfortable to share so we will still consider it, please phrase it in a way that is within a PG-13 at most manner (nothing that’ll get the video community striked).

Due to YouTube rules and privacy matters, we will NOT accept any audio submissions by people under 18. While I am aware many viewers and fans who may wanna submit are younger than that, this is how it will have to be I’m afraid.

Please include in your submission therefore a social media link with proof of age by your own account. We will be checking and anyone lying will not be considered.

Your submission must be an audio file between 15 to 30 seconds (preferably in .mp3 or .wav format). If you must go over that limit to tell your story, please ensure it’s not over at least 45 seconds and only IF need be. Depending on submission amount, anything longer will NOT be considered.

Follow proper audio etiquette and ensure your submission is clear audio wise and not too quiet or loud. While I of course can edit to fix these things, having that done so by the submitter, if possible, makes my life easier. Bad audio quality will NOT be considered for inclusion. Sorry, potato mic owner, lol.

Video submissions may be considered too but audio is what we’re after mainly. Video submissions will only be accepted if it adds to the project like maybe you filmed it in your Gravity Falls room or something.

Include with your submission a name or username you wish to be credited under and a picture associated with it. That can be your profile pic or anything else you wanna be associated with. Just ensure the image is in a 1x1 format and again, it and your name are also SFW.

Please name your audio file and image file with the same username to make it easy to find them when editing.

Have fun. Submit something true to your experience and belief on Gravity Falls’ end. Tell the story you wanna…so long as it’s about the topic at hand of course and follows the rules, lol.

I should also stress that depending on submission numbers, we may not be able to include everyone who submits. So, if you do submit, I wanna stress there isn’t a guarantee you will be part of the video. My goal this time around is for the video to be engaging and full of fan stories, but also not over an hour long like the 2022 video ended up being. So, please follow the rules on submission length as we will be stricter this time on those who don’t follow it.

The deadline to submit is January 24th. Any submission made after that day will NOT be considered for the video. Ensure to have your recording done by then if you are interested. Remember also that this is a free project, so all submissions are voluntary and you doing so means you are giving the ThatGFFAN channel permission to use your audio in a video if selected. If that is not something you are comfortable with, please refrain from submitting.

With that said, best of luck if you choose to submit. I can’t wait to hear what you send.

SUBMISSION LINK!

NOTE: Due to submitting files, the Forms link can only be accessed if you're logged into Gmail!
