Where Every Scroll is a New Adventure
*The Pines Family (and Bill) are gathered together in the Mystery Shack's living room as Mabel attempts to teach a lesson about ethics using the infamous trolley problem. Bill is fixated on doodling on the paper he's holding*
Mabel: "Bill. You've been quiet. What do you think about this?"
Handyman Bill: "Well, obviously the dilemma is clear: How do you kill all six people?"
*He turns the paper he was drawing on around, so that the Pines can see it properly. It's a vivid depiction of bloodshed and massacre utilizing creative methods that only a psychopath could think of...which he is. Sparkly, red glitter is glued on to color and illustrate the blood rushing from the victims' wounds*
Bill: "Well, I would dangle a sharp blade out of a window to slice the neck of the guy on the other track as we swoosh our five main guys."
*He looks around expectantly only to be met with tired expressions, too used to this kind of mayhem*
Bill: "Oh... I did the thing again, didn't I?"
Mabel: "Yeah. Ten more more, buddy."
*She flips around the blackboard she had borrowed from Ford to use for her lesson to reveal hundreds of "People=Good" messages scribbled on the other side in chalk*
Bill: "People. Good. People... Why is that so hard to remember? "

AUGGH THERES SOMETHING ABOUT THE PARALLELS BETWEEN THE OKDER TWINS AND THE YOUNGER TWINS
Like how the younger twins have parallels between each of the older twins, but are still not them and super different just as much as they are similar!!
Like,
Stanford & Dipper (Dippers birthmark parallels Fords six fingers, they’re both nerdy and were bullied, etc.)
This one’s obvious, along with Stanley & Mabel (being the twin that feels ‘lesser’ or ‘dumber’ than the other, fear of being abandoned, etc.)
But people don’t notice and/or talk about the parallels between Stanley & Dipper and Ford & Mabel!!
Stanley & Dipper (Being weak and kinda wimpy as children, Stan related to him with that, both of them being stubborn and reckless, etc.)
Stanford & Mabel (They both can get way too absorbed in their own things that they forget about other peoples feelings, etc. I love Ford and Mabel so much and this isn’t meant to be mean.)
But then we see that the younger twins are still very much themselves, and not direct copies of the older twins, and I love that so much!!
Hi! I’ve made a Google Drive folder of all of the Gravity Falls things I have so far! (Cut scenes, storyboards, concept art, etc.) I’m still adding to it, but I wanted to share it with everyone!

Just a little doodle to celebrate the cutest twins 🌲💫
Okay, but we all do agree that Stan and Ford send letters with the address where they're going to spend the Christmas to Dipper and Mabel so they can send them gifts and vise versa. Right?
I think that Mabel would send them sweaters that she made. Stan uses them when it's really cold (he pretends that he doesn't like them) and Ford it's always using them (after all, he also loves sweaters). Mabel always makes turtle neck sweaters for Ford because he showed her his tatto once (and she plans to do the same tatto because she loves it) and said that he wanted to hide it.
Dipper would send Ford a copy of a book that he read about paranormal stuff or some accessory of some movie/series/game that they both like and he would give Stan a key chain related to money or cassinos or a pair of pants.
Stan would steal a wallet from someone in the street and send the money he finds there (or in his brother's bedroom) to the twins or he would ask Ford to buy something for them for him. Or he even would walk into a shop and buy the first thing that he sees with glitter or animals and the first thing that screams "NERD" (or that puts Ford's eyes glowing).
Ford sends Dipper books that he liked to read when he was his age and he gives Mabel romance books that have colorful covers or something related to Ducktective.
Is this headcannon or cannon?
EDIT: I didn't know that the Pines are Jewish. So, instead of Christmas, they would buy this gifts for Hanukkah. They buy 8 gifts for eachother (out of the things I said) and they open them during the 8 days of Hanukkah :D
Those are crazy parallels, well pointed out!
I made a past post showing parallels between Gideon & Bill a while back but the main parallel I noticed are their relationships to Ford and Mabel:
They used to be close to Ford/Mabel before their messed up actions caused a falling out between them
Gave them chances to join their side
Held them captive during the course of Weirdmaggedon
Now this could've been accidental and me just reading into things but the Book of Bill had this recurring idea of Bill being Ford's toxic, abusive ex. It just really cemented this parallel and the idea of Bill being Ford's Gideon.
IN ADDITION - While this might be reaching, I think with this idea in mind, there's an additional way to read to Gideon's line:
"Bill explained it to me nice and simple. She was always destined to be mine. Now that I have her trapped in a cage, she'll learn to love me. I have an eternity to wait"
Another way to read that is, Bill's projecting onto Gideon & Mabel a bit and this was what he initially had planned with Ford: Keep them trapped, and use the endless amounts of time they have to make him "learn" to love him, but then the barrier surrounding Gravity Falls derailed that
mabel pines my queen!
May bill have the pain of a thousand period cramps
I just finished the first season of gravity falls and HOLY SHIT ITS GOOD LIKE I KNEW IT WOULD BE BUT HOLY WOW
I’ll probably talk about it more in the morning but it’s almost midnight lol
OKAY SO ITS MORNING NOW >:))
Soos is already my favourite character because he’s just like me fr fr
Mabel and Stan have such a chaotic and beautiful dynamic even when their beefing but in saying that man Mabel was on her ‘lying is bad’ high horse for a little bit longer than I thought she would but it’s kinda fun watching her change to ‘I’ve been cheating for the last three rounds’
I found it so funny just how often dipper would whip out the book at any sign of an oddity and with little to no regard about who really saw it
I DONT KNOW HOW IVE NEVER WATCHED GRAVITY FALLS BUT OH. I AM A FOOL.
IVE BEEN ALIVE FOR (almost) 21 YEARS AND IVE NEVER. WATCHED A FULL EPISODE OF THIS AND IM MAD AT MYSELF FOR IT
THIS IS AMAZING I LOVE IT AND JUST YESSIR
Anyways it’s (probably) going to take over my life and if so you better be ready for me to be insufferable
Anyways have a wonderful day/night/afternoon!!
A human condition fanart dump 😼 I wasn’t going to render but I emded up loving the sketch of Bill in Ford’s outfit so I chose happiness 🥹
I was on a PLANE rendering him, and when I tell you my ears have not been free of the aftermath 😭 this might be Bill’s karmic justice against me
Always on about my love for long hair yet I still struggle to draw it 😭 I have a lot of concept ideas for environments in mind like Bill’s and Billy’s headspace. Left brain Right Brain at it’s finest !!!
Of course !!! I had to draw the twins !!! My sibling had looked at my collection of A Human Condition fanart and started DRAGGING ME for completely blocking out Dippers face in my comic canvas 😭 He clocked me, by pointing out the obvious that I didn’t want to draw another face 😿 obviously came to redeem myself I do not like Ford’s face once so ever, so I’ll probably have to make a more updated face model chart for Ford and Stan since they are twins 💀
I want to draw the enviorment headspace between Bill and Billy now as a warmup😼 and maybe get a headstart on the grunkles 🔥🔥🔥 but for that eviorment concelt to work, I might need to rewatch a movie I mentioned before 🐺 So with that, I leave with one of my MANY favorite quotes from The Last Unicorn that fits Bill a little too well:
“Do you hear me? You lost her! You trapped her in a human body! She’ll go mad!”
This isn’t my ultimate favorite quote, it’s what Almathea says when she wakes up after what Molly just said 🥹 But I’m begging everyone to gp watch the Last Unicorn if you haven’y sern it !!! It’s free on YouTube i always start crying after finishing it
@sapphosscribe i might dm you again to show the concept of environments, but I am currently in a whole other country at a party so it’ll probably take a while 😭😭 ENJOY THE SNACKS I HAVE PROVIDED
Shout out to Everlasting Night gang 🗣🗣 Last time when I compared the upcoming sequel to a song I chose “Like Him” by Tyler the Creator
Today I’m just saying “Dear Theodosia” is hitting close to home 🐺 Swear I’m gonna drop a playlist ong 😭
Aside from that, I geniuely can’t wait to drop Irene and Ivory's content with their fathers 🥹 Bill and Ford are certainly strange parents. I feel like Bill is definitely going to have a bunch of mix feelings with how he parents which is what I intend for him lol 💀
The dynamic everyone will have in the future will definitely have you guys on edge. Not even Stan is safe 😨 I think I’m talkin a little too much IM ZIPPING MY MOUTH SHUT FOR NOW
After a billion years, I finally finished the newest Everlasting Night chapter !!! And I got a drawing to go with it !!! Go read the newest chapter folks !!! And say hello to the girls 🔥🔥🔥 i am never drawing babies again
How it feels to finish writing one ending and to realize i need to still go over and edit it before posting it 💀 this to my readers that want to just choose joy and whimsy
I was down in the dumps with writer block, but gang inspired me today so I’m pushing through. The fic has reach 100k words on my doc !!! I’m going to finish this ending and hopefully post it this week and I will then get started on true ending 🥹 I hope we can get through to see Billford at their highest and lowest, but I’m sure we’ll come out strong !!!
A HUMAN CONDITION CHAPTER 29 RAAHHHH
Dropping these fanart of these guys ! I’m gonna have to work on Fiddlestan this weekend maybe, since I can’t draw Fidds at all 😭 gonna figure out how to draw him today 😕
BUT HERE IS BILLFORD and holy shit 😭 I love how Bill expression came out, Billy looking quite happy 🥹 it’s totally going to be my new pfp me thinks !!!
I definitely recommend listening to Impacto for the candyland scene, geniuely so fitting they make me SCREAM 😭 Aside from that, I changed a little thing up about Billy 🥹 Those eyes are looking a little more cooler… Wish i could animate, it looked way cooler in my head LOL
Personally, I feel like if you let Bill play on the Sims, there’s two households and one Billy takes care of while Bill takes care of the other. One house is in flames and the anger and hate is being projected, the other is a normal home that totally isn’t mourning the home that died all those billion years ago chill 😦 totally… just a funny thought in mind 💀
P.S. I nearly forgot to go back my classroom after my break, I ended up showing up late because I wanted to finish rendering Ford 😭🙏 None of my coworkers were bothered tho !!!
@sapphosscribe fanart has been delivered 🙏 expect more 🥹🔥
I finish one render of a human condition, now I have to start the other !!! Really grateful for the series, it’s gotten me to be more faster at rendering and improve my art more !! I finished rendering Bill’s skin in an hour and rendering skin has usually taken me FOREVER 😭 I think as of now though, I’ll finish Ford and Bill, with a small comic for them 😭 Stan and Mcgucket might come out next week since I never drawn Fidds before 💀 so maybe a new character sheet in the upcoming days 😭
I am writing guys trust, it just takes FOREVER 😭 Billford fanfics goes crazy. This is quite random but very much revelant to Everlasting Night and the future of it, but I’d like to think that Ivory and Irene are little bit something like
Ivy: I’m a geek 😕
Irene: I’m GEEKED
Sigh, can’t wait to reveal them 😭🙏 Although, I do get the feeling Ivory will likely have mix feelings in regards of her actions in the far future 💀 Definitely got both her parent's attributes 😭
Just sayin chat, the history book on the shelf is ALWAYS, repeating itself. Dare I say, I hate to be ANYONE 😭 But, that’s for the future, let’s focus on the good ending that is being worked on 🙏
