Happy New Year

He just went on Instagram Live and gave hints about what’ll be in the Kickstarter and a sneak peek of the figure!! I wrote down all the items he talked about:

-Bill figure, 8” tall, rotating parts

-Bill pochette bag in new colors

-Glow-in-the-dark pin described as “a tribute to Ford”

-Earrings - one pair described as similar to their Boiling Isles design with scenes/landscapes, and one pair designed by Susa (his girlfriend, also an artist)

-Bill locket necklace

-He said they might do another necklace but they weren’t sure

The first 200-250 people who support a certain tier of the Kickstarter will get Bill figures signed by Alex

RICHMOND I AM LOSING MY MIND!!! PLEASE START PEOMOTING THE KICKSTARTER! I WILL GIVE YOU SO MUCN OF MY MONEY FOR BILL ITEMS

Studio Bad Egg went on a livestream yesterday to talk about their Cipher Cult Kickstarter, and shared concept art for some of the major items

Someone else who had seen the concept art for the Bill and Ford pin earlier described it as “likely to cause ship fuel” and

They weren’t fucking kidding

(This is the final design, which I still love! It was chosen to be more cohesive/consistent with the design of another pin)

Studio Bad Egg is opening up Kickstarter slots for 100 more Bill collectibles with Alex Hirsch’s signature!! The regular collectible is still available, but if you want a little piece of art signed by Alex with it, now’s the time!! The original 250 slots sold out in a few hours!

I appreciate Gravity Falls immensely - for many reasons, but particularly for the way it approaches weirdness. While Gravity Falls’ anomalies are often dangerous for the characters, the show and narrative still depict them as something to be observed and understood, not as manifestations of evil needing to be destroyed. Even the most vicious of the supernatural beings, Bill Cipher, is made a villain by the actions he’s taken - not by simply being different. In fact, Bill’s weird behavior is often played for fun by Bill himself, and he’s even shown as charismatic at times. When Ford enters in the second season, the message is made clearer yet. He may not always have been accepted by others, but Ford’s uniqueness, curiosity, and unabashed individuality are admirable traits. Out-of-the-box thinking, by the Mystery Shack rebels and ultimately by Stan and Ford, ends up being what saves the world. Gravity Falls celebrates weirdness from beginning to end, summed up by some of the last words of Journal 3 -

“Stay curious, stay weird, stay kind, and don’t ever let anyone tell you you aren’t smart or brave or worthy enough.”

Because he’s hot, next question

Why do so many people want to fuck a triangle?

Slowly dying

I may start tagging Bill-related things as “triangle beam” (I am beaming the triangle at all of you) (my best friend would like to stop being Triangle Beamed)
