Figured I'd put this animation on here too

Body acting exercise from a summer course I attended. The sound clip is from The Princess Bride, but all I could hear was Bill Cipher, so Bipper it is lol

[sadcabbages]

kinda fucked up when you realise that ford probably has dreams about bill cipher, that feature bill cipher, but not the real one. He can never be sure.

[astro-b-o-y-d]

I love the implication that Ford was still writing parts of the journal right as Weirdmageddon was starting up. Like he's writing it as him and Dipper are running through the woods together, trying to keep hidden as Bill's weirdness takes over the town.

GIRL STOP WRITING AND GET HIM

[ckret2]

Ford, squatting with his journal on his knee, carefully inking in the body of the monster actively ending the world: "Dipper, stand guard for me while I finish drawing this beautiful landscape of the cliffs around our endangered town. And can I borrow your white-out? I need it to draw Bill's eye really big—"

[astro-b-o-y-d]

WAIT YEAH, HE DOES USE WHITE OUT FOR THAT PAGE, DOESN'T HE?

Post uncancelled, FORD WE ARE IN AN APOCALYPSE. STOP DOING ARTS AND CRAFTS.

He keeps his art supplies in his coat for ease of access.

You ever think about how Stan and Ford switching places in Weirdmageddon was the last time Stan ever assumed the identity of Stanford Pines. When Ford shot him there, it wasn't just killing Bill, it was killing Stan's theft of Ford's identity. When Shandra refers to Stan in the news report, she refers to him as local hero Stanley Pines, when just a few episodes before in Stanchurian Candidate, he was still going by Stanford. Stan getting his memory back wasn't JUST him getting his memory back, it was him getting his IDENTITY back. Him becoming Stanley Pines again, for the first time in decades. And everyone knows him as Stanley. He's going by his own name. Do you ever think about it and want to fucking cry

The image used in the background of the Gravity Falls logo HAS BEEN FOUND!!

It's located in France!!

I made a thread on Twitter explaining the full story and how I even asked Ian Worrel and Alex Hirsch about it, but lemme run down quickly how it was found and where it is!

After 3 years of searching with some friends on and off, we had no real luck. I've been working on a video about it for a while but decided to try one more time. My friend @trickengf suggested looking at international logos as they may have more of the image available and sure enough...we found logos like the Japanese and Russian GF logo had more visible detail of the image.

From that, Tricken made a remake of the image and used it to find it. He ended up finding the source at about 3AM for me, lol!

My friend Fried Oreos then confirmed the image was old enough to fit the criteria of pre GF pilot, by determining the image was on the Textures website it was sourced from since 2008!

Then, my friend Alex M managed to buy the HD image and we were able to analyze its metadata for more info!

Turns out, the image, called "LandscapeMountains0009," was taken by a Nikon D70 camera on April 18, 2007!

THE GRAVITY FALLS LOGO IMAGE IS ALMOST 18 YEARS OLD!!

From there, we began looking for the location. The meta data had no location, but other images taken around the same time showed signs of maybe the location being in Europe.

After over a day of searching, Tricken, Alex M and Oreos FOUND IT!!

The location of the image is a mountain range near the town of Sers, France...near the border with Spain.

Exact coordinates of the closest viewable angle of the image is 42°54'23.2"N 0°06'05.6"E

This is a major discovery and one I cannot believe we did. While this search was started by me in 2021 with some friends, it was TrickenGF, Alex M and Fried Oreos who deserve all the credit for this discovery! They were the geniuses who tracked all of this down and were able to connect the dots to get to this point.

You guys are amazing and I am beyond grateful for all of this.

Finding this image means that fans can now recreate the Gravity Falls logo as they want with anything they want. For example, Tricken made this for me using the image :D

Or, you can do this, lol

We now have it!

For 12 years as we looked at the Gravity Falls logo...we were in reality looking at a mountain in France...NOT Oregon!

So, I guess this is a major W for France but sorry, Pacific Northwest, Gravity Falls is actually French, lol!

I still can't believe we found this. I'm so happy :P

Can you imagine in a ScoobyDoo!Gravity Falls AU they met Bill Cipher and were like “how tf are we suppose to unmask this??”

Bill would probably get himself caught on purpose only to make the unmasking that much more creepy:

Anyone ever talk about how ford likely never called Bill "my muse" to his face? Each time we hear him talk directly to him he refers to him as Bill, like he was told to. I feel like "my muse" is a private little nickname he used to be flowery and wax poetic. Tbh I dont think he was really thinking about bill potentially reading his journals until things got sticky between them. I feel like hed be embarrassed if Bill ever mentioned it. Not that im going to stop using it in fics.
