Hear Me Out (convo Between Friend And I)

i’m so glad earth only has one moon, if there were more i’d have to pick a favorite and that sounds too emotionally taxing to even fathom

What if in relativity falls Mabel went under the name Macie and said she was Dipper but she transitioned and the younger twins called her "May"

My thought process behind this is if Mabel is to fake her death and take dippers place she can't use the name Mabel because Mabel is dead right so she chooses Macie because it's similar to Mason

Idk chat I'm going crazy

Theseus' Guide to Ruining a Perfectly Good Boat Binding

Name's Dream, howdy hey. I'm someone who just. Hangs in this fandom somehow. Theseus' Guide is if not one of my top, the top fanfiction in the Gravity Falls fandom for me. And as such, I really really wanted to bind it. So... I asked @stump-not-found for permission and got it for a personal binding! Here's the result [thus far].

More pictures under the cut! Including the special things I included. :] Some spoilers below as well.

I knew I had to do *something* special for these lines in Chapter 8. God. They hurt me.

I knew even before I began working on this wanted to include some of the comics. [There's more than what is pictured here!] But I had to ask how/where? At the end of the chapter where the doodled align to? Finally, I decided to add them at the end altogether. It felt like the most natural place for them to go.

The dust jacket! Given that there was no where cover art for Theseus' Guide, I had to decide on something myself and eventually settled on this piece of art by Stump. I'd rather have an image that depicts Stanley and Stanford and the kids as well- but hey! Something to consider if I want to replace the jacket or for Part 2.

Finally, the hardback itself. It doesn't have any detailing currently but the name, but I plan to add things. Currently, I have a project where I'm recreating Journal 3 by hand. When I get the brass metal plates needed for that, I hope to add custom 'gold' detailing to the book on the front and back, as well as the spine. But for now, I feel really proud of how it turned out.

It took forever to lay it all out in Latex and get it looking professional but I love the result. I might try my hand at a few other fanfictions I really love to add to my personal bookshelf. Hope y'all love it too! [Pst. @starstreampress just released their own personal binding as well, which people should *also* check out.]

This took longer than I wanted it to take. The dialogue feels a bit clunky, but between a severe flare-up of my chronic hand issues and big changes in my personal life, I've decided it is not worth despairing over.

I hope this was worth the wait, either way. <3

I love ketchup. Huge fan of ketchup, tastes good and makes a lot of things taste better

It fucking reeks though.

I am an insanely disorganized person and empty cups and plates will reside in my room for a day or two before their removal

But if a plate that had ketchup on it, either currently or previously, remains in my room for more than an hour or 2, I will start tweaking because that shit REEKS

She's so pretty and beautiful and her awakened design is gorgeous and her regular design is gorgeous and she's so pretty and she's so cool and I love her I love her I love her

HERE IT IS ALL FINISHED!!! AHHHH!!!!!

THE FAMBILY...💖

I've been planning this illustration for over a month now - in April, I had the patreon folks vote on a theme for a big gravity falls print, and camping was the winner. Even just planning the general composition took a while, figuring out where I wanted all the characters to be. Once I shored up a good thumbnail, I made it tighter twice before putting it on paper, and working in pencil. The pencil drawing part took me four sit down sessions of drawing, and then coloring the scan took another couple of days. I worked SO DANG HARD to finish this monster before mc3, and by some miracle, I did.

Overall, I'm really happy with how this illustration turned out! I feel like it does a good job of expressing my love for the show. I'm really glad people were enthusiastic about it at the convention - I had a lot stop and look at it with these really awestruck, sad wet goo goo eyes expressions LOL! They did this: 🥺 with an actual human face dskjhlsdfkjh!!

Here's a link to my bigcartel store, where you can get one! Also, info to keep in mind: members of my $5 patreon tier get 15% discount on their orders when they use a special code.

Also, side note: thank you to my expert names and wordplay consultant for giving me the name "nitelite moth." YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE :)

Under the cut: Uncolored pencil version, and sketches.
