Gideon Gleeful - Tumblr Posts
I’ve been rewatching the show (again) and I can’t get over this early rivalry. Stan was really out here swearing revenge on a child
“I like him as a friend, or a little sister.”
gideon is so strange to me.

My son who is evil.
Wanted to test out toonsquid and took the opportunity to animate my Gideon cat design. My boy…
Also I’m distraught that I forgot his folded ears, arrrggg… I can’t change it now :((
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
so I very briefly mentioned this au I have in my last gideon doodle post and saw one tag saying to elaborate and thats all the excuse I needed. ok to be honest i didnt need an excuse i was going to talk about it anyway
i had a dream shortly after the stanchurian candidate aired where my brain made up a fake episode of GF to essentially finish gideons 'arc'. and it involved him making a deal with bill to gain demon powers. bill promised him All The Perks, and he was desperate to get outta jail, so he took it.
turns out 'all the perks' involves being trapped in the nightmare dimension without a physical form and, while being tremendously powerful, unable to truly utilize those powers without being summoned. so he sort of just gets condemned to existing as a demon and is desperate to get back into a physical body because, turns out, the human brain is not really.. designed to process that existence for too long. it freaks you out. especially if 'you' happens to be a ten year old who is still afraid of the dark and spends most of their time surrounded by nightmares.
it was weirdly grim and i woke up like 'holy shit. i need to make that an AU' and it developed from there. in the more thought-out version, bill and gideons deal involved him swapping into gideons body to further his plans for a while. he never promised he'd give it BACK, though. it, uh. ended how you'd expect bill possessing a body to end.
'what happened to his eye?' bill thought it'd be funny if it was part of his collectin on gideons 'debt'. hes got one eye, you should have only one of em, too.
honestly I make most of the details up as I go and its mostly an excuse to draw my favourite worst son in various levels of power-thirst and distress. sorry gids even you dont deserve this one
welcome one and all.
to WEIRDMAGEDDON!!
Prom-cifica (& friends) headcanons:
Lakefoam green, obv
Pacifica goes to GFHS for high school instead of continuing at her private school, but only after she threatened her parents with telling all the other rich kids' families about the Northwest drama if they made her go.
Yes, she's prom queen thank you very much. she's trying so hard to seem surprised and gracious about it but truthfully she was pretty sure she would win. old habits die hard. (but she doesn't win because she's a mean girl, she wins because she's actually very well-liked. and blonde and pretty, I mean, it is high school.)
Dipper makes her corsage himself (with a lot of help from Mabel) using pine tree needles (get ittt??) and a single red rose that he is still scared is "like, way too much and is definitely going to freak her out." (it doesn't. the needles are kind of itchy and sticky, but she loves it and keeps it in a memory box after the night)
Mabel really wants to go but since she and Dipper don't go to GFHS she needs a date who does. Gideon is only TOO happy to step up, but Mabel only agrees to go with him after he writes and signs a declaration stating he understands it will only be as friends. (he doesn't.)
Grenda is sad at first because it looks like Marius won't make it after all, but he ends up pulling in last minute in a helicopter blowing everyone's minds a la Romy & Michelle.
Wendy agrees to chaperone but only so she can (affectionately, in a friendly way) make fun of Robbie's band, who somehow swung the gig. (they're terrible and Wendy ends up saving the day with her iPod and an aux cord.)
The gnomes have decided this would be a great place to find a new queen so they reconfigure themselves into Norman, though it prove fruitless as Shmebulock is inexplicably chosen to be the head, and he's just not great at conversation. They're all pretty good on the dance floor though.
I really really want to write a prom ficlet but have no ideas for mini plots, character arcs, internal/external conflict etc. sooo

Happy 10 year anniversary to everyone! I got into this show way late, so for me it's just been something like a year and a half. But I can't believe this show is already ten! Thank you all for this time, for all the fanart, and fics and friends! It's been awesome and here's to many more!
I'm sad bc it seems like the fandom is going into hibernation again, so I made these
Decided I should probably post this while I’m at it! It’s probably my most favorited piece on DeviantArt. Original description under the cut if you’re interested in reading more about it!
Something I've been working on periodically between owed art for a while now, just a neat lil thing to put on my wall now that mom's stopped buying me calendars (it's 2020, after all!) Traditional work is a bit stress-inducing since there's no undo, but I find it kind of relaxing at the same time; it's nice to physically feel your work underneath your hands, I feel like I'm in more control of my brushstrokes. The background was brutal, I cheap'd-out half-way with a Sharpie and nearly died from the fumes LOL Edited a little bit in Photoshop to enhance the lighting and hide the terrible marker strokes in the black. Don't tell nobody. Inspired by this piece from Gnome Prince Studios! Go give them some love. <3
Ten years. Holy wow. There are so many things I want to say that I don’t even know where to begin! But, first of all, I’m truly desolate that I wasn’t able to finish this piece properly in time; this was supposed to be a full work but unfortunately paired with my graduation, a nasty cold and just an overall busy year I just totally ran out of time. I intend on finishing this properly at some point, but for now all I can offer is the line work and the character flats. I hope you enjoy it anyway!
The really sappy stuff is beneath the cut. Happy double digits, Gravity Falls; I will always love you!
My brother and I have been close our whole lives. We first watched Gravity Falls together in November of 2015. These memories are some I hold so incredibly dear to my heart for so many reasons, but mainly because it was the summer of 2019 when my parents separated, and unfortunately also when my brother was hit very hard by puberty. He suddenly wanted nothing to do with me. We rarely even spoke because more often than not it’d end in a fight that brought me to tears. He hated me, and I could not stand it. I felt so lonely, so betrayed and, more than ever before, longed for the good ol’ days to come back to me.
Eventually, my brother’s destructive behaviour came back to bite him. One day I woke up to hear from some of our mutual friends that everybody had abandoned him; every single one had dubbed him a horrible monster and refused to talk to him ever again. He was completely alone, and, despite everything, I made the decision to ask him what was wrong. For the first time in years he opened up to me. We went on a long evening drive down the highway, just listening to his favorite music and seeing where the road would take us. After this, we finally began to talk again. He’d pop into my room every night just to say hello, watch YouTube and even asked me to teach him how to draw.
The reason I’m telling you all of this is because, during the endeavour, I was often reminded of Dipper and Mabel’s plight near the end of the series. It struck a cord deeper than I had expected it to when I rewatched it during this era, and it gave me hope. Gravity Falls was the last thing we had shared together and bonded over at the time. We created together, we imagined together, we loved together. The days we spent walking around the local track on sunny summer’s days musing over fun ideas for stories and fan-comics were some of the best ones of my life. So, you can imagine how difficult it was to feel like that had all been torn from me.
Nonetheless, just like the Pines twins (both sets! Happy birthday Stan and Ford <3 <3), we forgave each other. We’re best friends again, and I am so incredibly grateful for that. I can’t imagine my life without you, little bro, and I hope we continue to take on the world together for decades to come!
Thank you, Gravity Falls. Thank you for making me laugh, making me cry, making me think, making me feel and making me create. Thank you for the nights I spent curled up on the couch with my whole family, laughing and smiling together. Thank you for making me believe in the power of a sibling bond. Thank you for all of the inspiration, motivation and artistic growth (and being responsible for the first time I was drawing humans regularly!). Thank you for helping me bond and connect with my closest friends in the entire world. It is an absolute privilege to be able to be here to celebrate an entire decade of some of the best television to ever air. I know this show will never truly leave me; how could it after all of this? One day, I’m sure I will watch it again with my children, and then again with my children’s children, and create those memories all over again. And with each line, each frame, I’m sure I will look back to these memories. Moments forever frozen in time, where my family and I were as we should be: well and truly as one.

Oh man now I’m crying lol, sorry if that was a bit incoherent I am beyond exhausted (been drawing for like eight hours straight) :’D But hey, it came from the heart!
Adios folks, I’ll hopefully see you soon with the proper iteration! And remember: “Gravity Falls is real and it will never die.” I, however, am going to die in approximately five seconds. snzzzzz

Mabel wishes you a very Hope Your Parents Divorce, Gideon. (She deserves to run away with someone though, I agree)

Every single time I read "Stanford Pines" I read it in Gideon's accent like "STAENFURD PAENES" and it's a good thing I don't verbally say Stanford Pines often because I don't think I could actually keep it in
