Calling all Gravity Falls fan artists for a charity project benefiting Palestine!
Hello, Hana Hyperfixates here! I’m a YouTuber with videos focusing mainly on Gravity Falls and fandom culture. But I’m also a Palestinian person who has been heartbroken watching the violence unfold in Gaza. So far more than 40,000 people have been killed, and countless more have been injured, starved, displaced and oppressed under the threat of genocide.
I want to do something about it, and if this fandom is what I know it to be, I’m sure others do, too.
The Gravity Falls fandom has had no shortage of wonderful, generous efforts to extend aid to various charities and to those in need. Through my ten years in this fandom I’ve seen calendars and zines and similar projects be sold, with hundreds of dollars being raised.
So I am happy to announce a new fundraising effort: Mystery Twin Mystery Bags.
The idea: bring in artists from across the fandom to design pins, stickers, charms, posters and more. These items would be pre-ordered, purchased, randomly assorted into mystery bags and shipped out to fans like you! Options would exist at differently-priced tiers, for you to buy anything from a handful of random stickers, to a big box of everything, and the funds would all go to a great cause!
After shipping out items, 100% of the profits for this project would be split 50/50 between these two funds for aid and relief in Gaza.
Watermelon Relief: Aid for Displaced Families in Gaza
The Sameer Project - Tents for Palestine refugees
As the situation in the Gaza is ever-evolving and needs change, we might add other charities onto this roster. We will be transparent if this ever happens. The most important thing is getting the money where it is needed the most.
We need artists and graphic designers with a wide range: Remember, the plan is to make everything from stickers to posters!
If you would like to be a part of this project, either as an artist, as a manufacturing manager, or as a mod, please apply with this link:
In the past few months, more than 38,000 people in Palestine have been killed, and countless more have been injured, starved, displaced and
Before you apply, I also want to make something clear: Our ability to extend compassion and aid to Palestinian refugees is not at all at odds with our commitment against antisemitism. We condemn any antisemitic rhetoric in our space, in our replies, in our askbox and (once established) in our Discord, and that rhetoric is not welcome here.
Our condemnation of the horrific actions of the government of Israel does NOT mean that we can’t protect and stand with our Jewish friends and community members. Likewise, us standing against antisemitism does not mean we can’t extend empathy and funding to the refugees of Palestine. People are dying, to help them is to be human.
So do your part to help! Apply above to be an organizer (bonus points if you have experience managing a large fandom project), as an artist (bonus points if you’ve made art for a big fandom project before), or as a manufacturing manager (bonus points if you have experience with selling stickers/pins/etc.)!
And if you can’t apply, please reblog this to give us a boost! Spread the word!
