This is INCREDIBLE. WHAT.
THE CIPHER ARCHIVES!!! is this too niche
i feel like since the magnus archives and gravity falls both have a focus on monsters, uncovering mystery, the Eyepocalypse and deep interpersonal relationships, they would make a great crossover!
dipper is the archivist, attempting to organise the archives and investigate the mysterious "smirke's 13", catalogued by the tapes, journal and files left by the previous archivist, a man named stanford (i dont know how stanley plays into this crossover yet).
mabel is dipper's estranged twin, hired by Elias Bouchard (Bill Cipher) after she lied on her CV as an archival assistant, attempting to reconnect with her brother and pay the london rent. she takes on a role similar to martin (swapping out romantic love for familial obviously), and gets entangled in the lonely towards the end of the storyline.
Bill Cipher is the head of the Cipher Institute (taking on the role of Jonah Magnus), an immortal patron of the All-Seeing, All-Knowing Eye. He masquerades as a mortal by posessing the body of Elias Bouchard.
im yet to figure out which other characters from gravity falls are part of this AU, but i think soos will take tim's role and wendy will take sasha's. other characters like basira and melanie might stay the same. i thought robbie would make a good gerard, and instead of being immortalised in a creepy skin book, he lives on inside the cursed cd from that one episode
yeah i really love the idea this au and i hope that there is at least one other person out there that also appreciates this. gravity falls x the magnus archives goes hard
I think this is my favorite drawing of cult leader number two, Hassan! He's such a cutie urgh

new tumblr game. put in the tags a GENUINE flaw your fav(s) has. cant be something like "too kind" or "loves too much" like something genuinely bad messed up morally wrong they are or have done
Ugh how do you draw women, I am suffering
ok here's my hot magnus protocol theory: the gifted kids program was really a program meant to find a new archivist (which explains why gerry (eye-aligned) and sam (EYE-ALIGNED, SPEEDRUNNING GETTING HIS ASS CEASELESSLY WATCHED) were there) (and could also explain the artifact storage category of 'catalyst') and [error] is a failed archivist trapped beneath the archives until sam and alice unknowingly freed them.....
also sam still searching for answers for why he wasn't chosen even all these years later to the point where he has the voice of the ceaseless watcher's former special little boy egging him on tells me he may have been a better candidate for archivist than the institute realized. which. bad news for sam. great news for us, the viewers.
still thinking about Needles I headcanon them to be covered in hundreds of needles that are part of them and regrow on their own, but they still add additional, bigger needles like they're piercings
more gore-ish version below (tw for holes i suppose)
