I hope this art will express all my love and admiration for your work. my feelings are not easy to express in words, so I decided to pour them into a drawing, and I am very proud of the result!

KMKY for me has become something more than something that you can read in a week and then switch to something else. I dare say that this is not just some ordinary fanfic, but the most real diamond in the zircon mine. KMKY is worthy of being called a full-fledged book, so that it can be published (yes, I still hope and dream of a physical copy of this fanfic, but who will stop me from dreaming?)

I can even say that I have come a long way with KMKY, from ups to downs. sometimes the fanfic helped me to distract myself from problems in my personal life, sometimes the fanfic raised topics that were really important to me, and I am amazed again and again by the skill, talent and ability of the author to write the main characters (and not only the main ones) so well, their ambiguity, their personal motives, problems, traumas. the characters turned out to be so unique and so deep (that I even had an idea to write an essay about all of Bill's psychological traumas, how they can affect not only your life, but also the lives of others, lol.) AND AT THE SAME TIME you write the secondary characters EXACTLY THE SAME WAY, which makes them all so memorable!

well, that's all I wanted to say, all that's left to add is that I'm looking forward to the next chapters and the upcoming spin-offs!

I saw this post (by @pink-november ) comparing the Nightmare/MoC and the Damsel/HEA and it refused to leave my head until I drew it out

Gravity Falls: The Finale

Been thinking about different ways bill could manifest in dreams. I've always like the idea of light, prisms, refraction, reflections etc

always just as obsessed as they were

(I made this wayyyyy back before roadside attraction but since the series is almost over I figured I’d finally post it)

Tips from a Beta Reading Writer

This one's for the scenes with multiple characters, and you're not sure how to keep everyone involved.

Writing group scenes is chaos. Someone’s talking, someone’s interrupting, someone’s zoning out thinking about breadsticks. And if you’re not careful, half your cast fades into the background like NPCs in a video game. I used to struggle with this so much—my characters would just exist in the scene without actually affecting it. But here’s what I've learned and have started implementing:

✨ Give everyone a job in the scene ✨

Not their literal job—like, not everyone needs to be solving a crime or casting spells. I mean: Why are they in this moment? What’s their role in the conversation?

My favourite examples are:

The Driver: Moves the convo forward. They have an agenda, they’re pushing the action.

The Instigator: Pokes the bear. Asks the messy questions. Stirring the pot like a chef on a mission.

The Voice of Reason: "Guys, maybe we don’t commit arson today?"

The Distracted One: Completely in their own world. Tuning out, doodling on a napkin, thinking about their ex.

The Observer: Not saying much, but noticing everything. (Quiet characters still have presence!)

The Wild Card: Who knows what they’ll do? Certainly not them. Probably about to make things worse.

If a character has no function, they’ll disappear. Give them something—even if it’s just a side comment, a reaction, or stealing fries off someone’s plate. Keep them interesting, and your readers will stay interested too.

he's doing great

🌱Master post of the Growth comic!☘️

Genuinely don't know if I'm ever going to finish these, but I'm still proud of them! I'll put the master post with the cannibalism comics up too as a last confetti toss for the cotl fandom

The exact opposite of being doomed by the narrative

I discovered this game while playing with a group of friends on Halloween, and I must say it was quiet immersive because we each wanted different things so we always had to argue together on what to do before the Voices would Took 3 days to complete a single run

my uncle was somewhat of a rascal. we were hanging out on the roof of his barn when i was ten, and we saw some shooting stars. he told me they were angels carrying messages from god. then he handed me his old hunting rifle and taught me how to nick one out of the sky, even when it was travelling all fast like that, and how to triangulate its location — taking me out in his rusty truck down dirt roads, unerring and unceasing, until we saw that gleaming lantern. he pocketed the note from god and took me down to a pinboard where he was working on deciphering the language with his friend who was a linguistics major but got kicked out of grad school. after they shook hands, they held on for just a bit too long and i started wondering why my aunt doesn’t live with my uncle anymore, but then my uncle took me back up stairs and taught me how to fry the angel up real nice, halo and all. it was tasty

Something like this would be so colossally helpful. I'm sick and tired of trying to research specific clothing from any given culture and being met with either racist stereotypical costumes worn by yt people or ai generated garbage nonsense, and trying to be hyper specific with searches yields fuck all. Like I generally just cannot trust the legitimacy of most search results at this point. It's extremely frustrating. If there are good resources for this then they're buried deep under all the other bullshit, and idk where to start looking.

A dark and bright scene from Chp.29!

(as always, the character design and concept belongs to @ckret2, check out their wonderful fic where things are ramping up)

Happy plagueiversary

the idea of mabel helping ford regain his love for puppets...

✨cute sheep fact of the day✨

(And thank you to that person who told me I mixed up the twins names, I always seem to get them confused half the time 🤣)

"I-I didn't teach him that, I promise!"

"Then WHY. does it have. SIX FINGERS."

not actually going to properly finish this but here’s a Frontier Psychiatrist music video redraw using a full grown triangle with bricks and angles

some sillies

dipper and mabel (age 22) go for a drive and have a movies argument

could you imagine?

if Bill ever got outta Theraprism and got back into the stone body he left behind in Gravity Falls it wouldn't have the blue crack/scar because Bill had to shed the body to get into Stan's head so it was never punched.

and that's fucked up

his literal soul carries a wound that will never fully disappear but it isn't visible on his physical body. there's a line left across him marking his own death but when he looks in the mirror even he can't see it. he'll always know where it is, though, just beneath the surface

something something metaphors for trauma

Look at these adorable kids! 😭❤️❤️✨

he watches you 👀

i just noticed something: take a look at this gif from gravity falls for a minute.

this gif is taken from when Bill says, “Everyone loves puppets!”

now pay attention to his pupil

notice how his pupil doesn’t keep concentrating on dipper; it moves towards the camera.
