"It's Located In France" Holy Crap That's Where I'm From!

"It's located in France" Holy crap that's where I'm from!

"Was taken on April 18, 2007" Holy shit this is so close to my birthday date!?

"The town of Sers, France" HOLY SHIT MY GRANDMA LIVES, LIKE, 2 FEET AWAY FROM THERE?!?

It's like I was made specifically to love this show... The logo has been forged with the same mixture of metal, cigarette ashes and baguettes as I was!

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

Holy Cungadero this is good. I have 4 criteria when it comes to what I think makes the best Sneo design interpretation:

-Is an actual robot

-Looks somewhat like Mettaton Neo

-Is way bigger than he is in the game because even though it doesn't make sense, that dude need to be the size of a 3 story building.

-Have elements that show that the Neo body was never meant to be used by Spamton, and that this is a (kinda horrific) forced fusion where Spam is just shoving himself in the body by force, and doesn't control shit.

Your design meet most of those criterion, with the exposed wires and constant steaming which is just such a great idea I think. 😙👌

I've been trying to came up with my own interpretation for a while now, and honestly, I'm struggling. So I was wondering if it would be okay if I took inspiration from your design to make mine.

My take on Spamton NEO: over sized PC that is always hot, takes A LOT of power to function, and never has enough fans whirring

Interpreting the NEO sprite was difficult AGSHAGSAHG he’s just little mspaint polygon lasso tool shapes. NExt up is EX but I should honestly draw other characters from the dang game fr

Not as much background for this one since it’s p much the one we see in game

Oh hey, it's been a while since I was on Tumblr, I wonder if Spamton answered my quest- *Gets fucking annihilated for being nitpicky* ... Worth it!

Seriously though, I didn't mean to bother, I just really liked the chip since it explains Spamton's glasses not being the same shape in the game, and just adds to his charming "broken homeless guy vibe".

Hey, I was wondering, I couldn't help but notice that throughout whatever time has passed since we started to waste your paper, you've changed your pair of glasses, several times! I'm pretty sure they were different shapes at first, then they were round but one was missing a bit, and now they're seemingly fixed?

So what's up with that? How many pair of glasses does a big shot need in his suit?

Alright Mr. Consistency, point it out why dontcha

i phased out the chip in his lens at one point on accident and just stuck with it and nobody had said anything until you….. /lh

Spamtober day 3: Glitching

This one is a fucking eyesore, you've been warned.

Here's a somewhat clearer version

And an actually clear one !

Spamtober day 2: Keygen

If you don't think Spamton is on concaïne throughout the whole game, then we must have not played the same version of chapter 2.

*Looks at Swatch*

*Looks at Jevil*

I'm starting to notice a pattern here... Oh, of course. Man titties, he's definitely into that, there's no other explanation.

What's your type? Like, any particular personality or physical trait that would make someone attractive to you?
