I'd never watched the collection of shorts from the tv show before the past two days, and I'm watching the Dipper's Guide to the Unexplained, and Mabel's dating shows and whatever and they're fuckin' hilarious. Man, I'm so glad I found this thread again (before the last few pages, though) to make me remember about this show and give it another go. Such a funny thing. I think Rick and Morty is the only show I enjoy more, but this is still the best 'saturday morning' show I can remember. :allears:

The two seem to influence each other pretty heavily considering that they have shared voice actors and a very cool little cross series easter egg and also a pretty similar sense of humour,must one being specifically kid friendly. But they're both oozing with charm.

here let's discuss a show called gravity falls, I think that's relevant to the thread. There's a lot of ongoing mysteries on the show such as: how many months to the next episode? what's its title or do we know?

also what monsters would you like to see show up? I'd like a vampires episode. Hell a series of vampire episodes. There's so many vampire shows and movies and tropes to parody. Buffy the vampire slayer had a bunch, there's Blade, from dusk til dawn, Twilight, old Dracula and noseferatu movies, Adventure Time's Marceline, sesame street's The Count...

Look at it this way, once they do one vampire episode they never have to again because they "did a vampire episode already"

I just would like to see what direction they'd take vampire jokes with so much to draw from.

That's the thing, if they do a vampire episode, I imagine they'd do their own funny take on it and if anything it'll be some thing where they have to help a vampire for whatever reason and the vampire is super nice. There will also probably be plenty of sparkle jokes

Ooh! A vampire falls in love with Mabel because of all the glitter on her! Ooooooh!

I think the closest the show has ever really gotten to just straight up using a normal monster is the zombies in the first episode this season, and then in that case they still were defeated in a completely silly way.

The thing I love about Alex is that he's painfully aware of all the gross poo poo people do, and continues to gently caress with them whenever he can.

Usually at cons.

You're right. But it's still cool to see it happen in real time. As a kid who loved Zim, and use the internet, I came across some really gross poo poo. Every time I hear Jhonen talk poo poo about those people, it makes me laugh. So I like that Alex not only notices it, but comes out and says "What are you doing to my twins!???"

"really? i don't believe you" "yeah, post the creepy stuff he did. right here in the thread, i want to see it realllly bad (so i can be uh appalled by it yknow)" "ok here it is! *posts garbage*")

This is an important distinction to make. I for instance am a total overly-sentimental sap who thought that Dipper and Pacifica were adorable in Nortwest Manor Noir, and I know a bunch of people who felt the same way. That's different from being into...whatever horrible creepy nonsense that was being posted at the top of this page. It's just being a hopeless romantic is all, it's totally harmless.

Also this is probably a good idea. This discussion isn't really going anywhere good.

Fwiw, Jhonen made a comic just on mocking his fans who tried to emulate his Nny character way back when he was doing that.

It's even better in this case because the twins are effectively himself and his real sister so he can be disturbed on a whole new level.

Mabel would make a fantastic aunt...graunt? Grauntie?

I hope the next episode, or at least one of the remaining episodes this season, is a flashback to the original Mystery Twins. For almost two years many fans suspected Stan's twin existed but he wasn't confirmed til recently, and we still don't really know much about him except some hints from the Journals. It's a weird place for a character to be in.

Sure! The artist is Llorstel (the link already goes to her art tag) and there's no reason to be afraid of any potentially horrible art because she has only one real ship and it's Stan/Carla (from his one flashback). She has only one "nsfw" pic and it's not actually nsfw, it's just Stan and Carla laying together and Stan may be shirtless (it's just a sketch so it's hard to tell) and I think she only tagged it nsfw out of extreme caution.

She draws a bunch of really adorable AU ideas, all of which are tagged. The Ageswap AU is the one we've been talking about, but she also has a cute one called the "Itty Bitty Pond AU" which is basically about a pond they find which de-ages Stan (and sometimes Wendy) to like, age 6 or 7ish. It's mostly about the twins taking care of itty bitty Stan, it's hella cute. I was also somewhat incorrect in that Llorstel wasn't actually the one who came up with the Ageswap AU, that was Gargrunk, where it's called Relativity Falls. Gargrunk is better known for (and named after) her Monster Falls AU where everybody in Gravity Falls gets turned into some sort of monster (Stan is a Gargoyle, hence Gargrunk).

I follow both Gargrunk and Llorstel and to the best of my knowledge, neither of them ever post creepy stuff. The trick to Tumblr is finding the right blogs that post the good stuff, and then ignoring absolutely everybody else.

I think if there wasn't so much time travel to the past involved in the show, that would totally be a real episode idea
