Since we’ve all been rewatching Gravity Falls bc of the Book of Bill I decided to compile my favourite joke of each episode in the show. Here’s season 1. Enjoy

[nonsensology]

I was still in an Oz mood, so I finally got around to drawing my Wizard of Oz AU for GF (I nicknamed it Emerald Falls). I've had this idea for a long time, after realizing that Stan fits incredibly well as the morally grey character of the Wizard himself. While the Wizard does become a sort of helpful uncle figure who learns real magic in the later Oz books, judging him solely on his appearance in the first book alone, he does a lot of questionable things that make it perfectly understandable why adaptations like Wicked choose to portray him as a villain. Also, I'm amused by the idea of Stan stressing himself out pretending to be the ruler of a fairy country.

In addition, there is:

Ford as the lost Prince Ozma, based on Princess Ozma (Ford's journals also take the place of the Silver Shoes / Ruby Slippers)

Dipper as a combination of Dorothy Gale and Ojo the Unlucky

Mabel as Scraps the Patchwork Girl

Fiddleford as a combination of the Scarecrow and Jack Pumpkinhead

Soos as Nick Chopper, the Tin Woodman

Wendy as the Lion (not so much cowardly in this version, but rather secretly stressed out like in canon)

Waddles as Toto

Axolotl as Lurline the Fairy Queen

Melody as the Good Witch of the North

Jheselbraum as Glinda the Good Witch of the South (in the original Oz books, Glinda has a magic Book of Records that instantly records everything that happens in the world)

Pacifica as Princess Langwidere

Gideon as the Wicked Warlock of the West

Gnomes as the winged monkeys

Bill as the Nome King, which I changed to the Troll King in this AU to avoid confusion with the monkey gnomes

Bill's henchmaniacs as Whimsies, Growleywogs, and Phanfasms. It's not entirely clear in my drawing, but in this AU they would appear to be made of rock, gems, and lava. I imagine they would move like how the gnomes were depicted in Disney's Return to Oz in creepy claymation.

ok cuz why did ford get a LOVE ANGLE

[mr-croma]

grown-ass man vs a maniacal 10-year-old kid will always be one of my favorite things about Gravity Falls.

Also I love Gideon so much

The following tweets were sent out by Alex Hirsch in response to the Moo Moo Farms Cow being playable in Mario Kart World.

Therefore it is now canon.

thinking Such Insane Thoughts about gravity falls and parental love and liking your kids like. idk.

filbrick might love his kids in some way but he doesnt really like them. caryn loves her boys but doesnt care for them enough.

soos's dad might have liked the idea of a kid. but he never really loved him. abuelita had to take his place.

dipper and mabels parents probably love their kids, sure, but they fuck dipper up because of their issues.

wendys dad loves her as much as he can but she misses her mom so so much.

gideon and pacificas parents dont really love them. gideons parents fear him and pacifica fears her parents.

bills parents loved him so fucking much. it wasnt enough.

fiddlefords parents loved him enough to let him leave. but they left him with a bone deep fear of the "outside" in his bones.

but.. ford and stan. they arent even the twins parents but oh my GOD they love them. deep in their crazy old man bones they LOVE these kids.

fords angry and resentful but he sees them and he goes SOFT. he watches dippers every move and sees himself. he pats mabels fluffy hair "you're a good person, mabel."

stan loves these kids so much goddamnit. everything he does is for this family. you can see in every inch of him he just wants these kids to be ok. even when hes picking on dipper he wants to help so bad. he dies for them.

they are the best parents in the series and they save the world.
