Can’t believe it’s been 10 YEARS, since the finale aired. Seems like just yesterday I sat down to watch it as it aired. I kinda wanted to do something more grand for the anniversary but at least I made something for it. More of my thoughts and being super sappy under the cut:

I’ve talked about this from time-to-time but to give backstory on how I got to this point, Gravity Falls seemed to come into my life when I needed it most. I was at a point in my life where I felt lost and stuck. Life for me felt pointless at one point and I had nothing to my name. Hell, even art, although I didn’t get serious with it until it felt a bit too late at that point, didn’t hold weight. Art felt like the only thing I was somewhat good at and it was during 2015 that I lost spark with it and felt like a failure and not even worth saving. It wasn’t until that same year near the very end of it, is when Gravity Falls came down and blessed me with a second chance. It’s a blur on how exactly I got more serious with it, but it’s probably when I started drawing these characters in my notebook while in class. And at that point, I actually liked living again. Now that’s not to say I haven’t struggled in between the 10 years I’ve been drawing for this fandom. I’ve been in states of: “what’s the point?” and thinking maybe life was pointless after all. But even still, Gravity Falls and its characters always pulled me back out of that despair and reminded and pushed me to keep going.

I know there will come a point where my love for this show will die down significantly but truthfully right now, I owe these characters too much to quit on them. This show is the reason I found out I was aroace after feeling broken for so long and making me the person I am. I’ll always be bitter that I never got into it when the show first aired but I’m grateful when I did regardless of the time. I still struggle with self-worth because truthfully, I’m not really good at anything lol. But I hope for the 10 years I’ve been drawing for this fandom, I made an impact in someone’s life. I’ve still got a lot of spark in me to keep creating art for this show. So many comic ideas, one-off drawings, maybe some animations and animatics, and a lot more themes to dress the Pines in haha XD

Thank you guys for reading and sticking with me if you’ve been following me for however long. And I’m just throwing this out in the air but, thank you, Alex. I know you’ll probably never see this but thank you for sharing this wonderful world and your characters. Thank you for saving this artist’s life. Even if there’s a small chance you’ve seen some of my art, I hope I did these characters justice and I hope I made you proud.

Stay weird. Stay kind. -Artsy

Before the Bus Comes - Gravity Falls Finale 10th Anniversary!

Wanted to do *something* new for the 10th! Just a last relaxing moment all together.

Almost my 10th anniversary in the fandom, too. Thanks for a great ten years, Pines family and the extended family of Gravity Falls! It was great being with you for the past decade; you really helped through some rough patches. Here's to enjoying many more.

[ID: art of Ford from Gravity Falls as a young adult. He's with two of the Pokemon Wooper: a Johtonian one that climbs on his head, and a Paldean one that nuzzles his hand. Both seem happy, and Ford looks delighted, scratching the Johtonian Wooper's chin. End ID.]

Happy Thanksgiving 2024!

A nice evening out in the woods, drinking hot cider and roasting marshmallows sounds pretty good to me right now. A nice opportunity for the Pines to catch up with Bigfoot, and make friends with a Scampfire and some of its scampfirelings. Mabel is happy to furnish a steady supply of marshmallows for them. I'm not sure exactly what Dipper is showing Bigfoot on the tablet; maybe some footage from other adventures.

Previous encounters between the Pines and Bigfoot can be seen here: one, two, three, four.

[wikimyky]

Yep .

Good night.
