Eleven years. ELEVEN YEARS. How could that even be possible? This show seems like it aired yesterday, it’s so fresh in my mind. A show this special might never stop feeling like yesterday, because it’s a part of me now, a part of who I am in the present. In eleven more years, I hope to still be rewatching. Happy 11 years of Gravity Falls!
Oh, and happy birthday to Stan and Ford - that’s today too!
jcogginsa asked:
From what I've been able to find, Hagsequad seems to refer to the older characters who used to go to Hexside. Eda, Lillith, Raine, Alador, etc. And since I've explained that, I might as well ask about number 6
6. Favorite Hagsquad member?
Ah, that makes sense, thank you! Out of that list of characters, I think I have to choose Raine. Even with how little screen time they were able to in season 3, I still love what we were able to learn about their character. I love that they’re a quiet and shy person who still consistently exhibits extreme bravery, a trait I feel is more commonly attributed to more extroverted characters. In fact, I would call them one of the bravest characters in the series, with how they are willing to completely sacrifice themself to stop Belos while simultaneously trying to protect everyone else from getting hurt in that process. Their sheer willpower in their final fight with Belos is incredible and heartbreaking to watch. Plus, I can’t pass on some of the best (and only) nonbinary rep I’ve ever seen in a show aimed at kids.
Thanks for the ask!

7. Favorite palisman?
This is a tough one! My first thought was Owlbert, the OG who we haven’t been able to see much of lately. Then I remembered Flapjack, the most fleshed out palisman whose story I find really touching. Ultimately, I think I would have to say Flapjack is my favorite palisman, due both to his story and his design. A close second that I do want to name, though, is Emmiline Bailey Marcostimo, Gus’ palisman. That lizard is so cute and goofy, I can’t help but love her.
Thanks for the ask!
I love that Luz had to apply to Eda’s magic school. So much potential for shenanigans there. “oOoo luz you were expelled from hexside? hmmmmmmmmmm I don’t know if we can admit you with that record… I personally can never imagine doing such a scandalous thing…”
"For I am the Good Witch Azura, Warrior of Peace!"
Quoting the fantasy she isn't a part of, but hopes to be.
"For I am Luz the Human, Warrior of Peace!"
Including herself in the fantasy now that she has a chance, albeit with the acknowledgement she isn't a witch.
"For I am the Good Witch Luz, Hunter of Monsters!"
Fully recognizing herself as a witch.
"For I am the Good Witch Luz, Child of the Human Realm, Student of the Demon Realm, and Warrior of Peace!"
Acknowledging not just herself as a witch, but as a human; These are not irreconcilable, and both defy Belos despite his claims to eradicate one for the other. Luz makes sure to specify herself as the result of those around her, who helped Luz get to this point. Luz has finally achieved the fantasy, and she’s grinning this time; No need to act dignified, Luz has won and she’s allowed to have fun and enjoy it. She’s earned this.
I think that the confirmation that all of the people the Collector turned into puppets were conscious and aware the entire time may be the darkest thing in the entire series. Not only the fact that they were forced to watch everything in a completely powerless state, but imagining what that could have felt like. Could they feel their bodies as they were being manipulated, sometimes into unnatural and likely painful positions? Can you even breathe in that completely frozen state? Even if they weren’t in pain, what must it have been like to be so confused and scared and not even be able to move your eyes to figure out what happened to you? The series plays with darker themes a lot but holy hell the implications of the puppets have been haunting me.
there’s something about eda going from despising school to running a school that hits deep. something about rebuilding instead of destroying. something about turning anger into positive change. something about recognizing that you have the power to be better than those who hurt you. you get what i’m saying
that’s Dana, right? That’s definitely Dana! Between the glasses, the hair, and the eye color, that really resembles Dana and how she has drawn herself in the past. I think it’s super cool that Dana got to make an appearance. The finale had so many little details intended for the biggest fans to recognize.
