(it's hard to tell without clicking on em, but one is transparent and the other has a white background)
this was SO much fun to draw! ive never really drawn clothes on bill before, so that was a nice little challenge. my personal favorite part of this piece is 100% the flesh pillow.
That’s such a fun art style! Look at his silly eyebrow! And he would one thousand percent wear these types of T-shirts. I think he canonically wore one in TBOB 😭
HEY FELLERS! I am working together with @gfnonfictionzine to bring YOU!!! A PHYSICAL COPY OF THE ZINE THEY WORKED SO HARD ON: Reading Between the Falls!!!
Over 180 pages of content with juicy analyses of the story and characters of Gravity Falls! I've included a couple pages as an example here to show you what you're in for! It's a super cool project and I'm happy to be helping them out!
TONIGHT! MIDNIGHT(EST)! But no need to rush, pre-orders are gonna be open till the end of JUNE! Retail price will be $25 USD + shipping and applicable taxes (boooo)
Lil bit more info under the cut! Stay tuned for the preorder link!
Preorders will be taking place on my website, triclopsrabbit.com, which I found to be the easiest way to handle a project like this with the ability to calculate/remit taxes/duties and stuff, without a bunch of additional merch and 1099K tax forms and other things to worry about. In addition, the zine is already done! It's even available as a free download! Link is at @gfnonfictionzine!
You may remember me as the head mod of the Dimensional Dreams zine, so no worries about production and fulfillment, okay!!! 🫡 All profits of this zine are going specifically towards being able to provide all the contributors with a copy at no cost to them. If we've got leftovers they'll go to a charity to be determined!
Over a year ago, I set out to make a short, straightforward, easy Gravity Falls video on The Book of Bill, and why it includes 6 pages of The Great Gatsby.
I never made that video, but the project I DID make is now complete.

HEY KIDS. IT'S TIME FOR SOMEONE TO LEARN A LESSON.

I encourage anyone trying to decode stuff to collaborate, connect with one another, etc. Make your discord channels, message your friends, make posts, and work together!
Would KILL for a sitcom-style Henchmaniac show where the events of Gravity falls are only ever mentioned and never shown
Ford is never directly shown but Bill will come back home (implied that he spent the whole day with him) in a good mood to see Pyronica duct-taped to the ceiling, 8-ball stuck in the fridge, and ANOTHER warrant out for Xanthar's arrest
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.
