Here we are, 10 years later

Hey folks. It's been a while. I really wanted to have something to post in time for the anniversary but I've gotten held up and was unable to make anything in time for the date. We are however on 618 today! So I'll take what I can get lol.

You may have noticed this account has been pretty barren the last couple years, and it's not hard to guess that is because I had moved on, I have fallen into other hyperfixations, and I'm also an adult now with more responsibilities than I had when I was running this account as a teenager. I almost have some sort of guilt from leaving this behind and even wonder if anyone still cares about what's on here, which is part of the reason I haven't posted much. But I'm feeling nostalgic and I want to talk about Gravity Falls and this is the perfect place to do it! So I thought I'd give you all an update on what I have going on and how I've circled back here.

Let me just start off by saying I'm sorry for falling through on a giveaway I had promised right before I had left this account, I still feel bad about it, I was at a real low point in life and should have never promised something I felt I could not follow through on. I didn't know what else to do except run away from it. But I'm better now, and to anyone who is still upset at me over this I encourage you to contact me for a free commission of your choice, because I'm actually serious about art now! (Seriously you have no idea how bad I feel about this I am so so sorry yall)

I have had one major hyperfixation since my GF one faded, and that would be Hatchetfield. I guess I'm just drawn to small towns where weird things happen! In the same way GF changed my life, Hatchetfield also has, I would not be where I am today without either of them. And if you also like Hatchetfield I have side account if you wanna check it out! This is definitely where I'm most active these days. I actually have a fic for it with a premise which many times has been compared to Bipper, and yes I do think that is an accurate callout lol

I've also gotten into The Owl House quite a bit lately, I wasn't too into it when it first started airing like I was with GF but once season 2 hit I started watching pretty regularly, and I'm sure many of you also watch it because of Dana. I'm definitely not as into it as I was with GF but I'm having a good time! A thing doesn't have to take over my life to be good lol.

On a personal note I have moved back to Minnesota! I'm currently a waitress trying to save up enough money for an apartment, I haven't finished college yet but now instead of animation/writing I'm hoping to get/finish my degree in theatre with a focus on costuming and SFX makeup. While I still love animation and could see it as something I would like to be a part of, theatre just seems more realistic to me at this point, and I like it and am already kinda good at it! I've always done theatre, this makes sense for me.

Back to why I came here. With all the hype recently leading up to the 10th anniversary I have been missing Gravity Falls, and I have been missing the community, and I want to get involved again. I don't think I ever truly left Gravity Falls behind, it stayed with me one way or the other, having this presence in my life I couldn't deny, and I think I want to come back home to it. My life has changed a lot the past 10 years, i wanna look back on something that made me so happy.

So I'm gonna try to be more active on this blog! I'm gonna start a long overdue rewatch on the series and maybe liveblog some parts of it. I think that's a good starting point. I'm happy to be back, and I hope I maybe still have friends here after being absent for a few years, and I'm willing to make new ones too. Thank you everybody, for everything. Stay weird.

#sorry this is long and a bit of tangent this is a long overdue post dsvdfbgfb #i love yall if you are still here after all these years thank you <3

What do you think of writing?

1 Story of Floyd and Lynn? Pathetic

2 Making Leyla look like the damsel in distress and never show off her professional side? Meh

3 Helen as the head of her clinic was always shown to be inadeguate. Why😭😭😭

4 Max represented as Jesus walking on water, solving all problems (other doctors must be idiots) and bringing peace to the world

5 Iggy aka the only one that Veronica should have fired and disbarred 💀💀💀 sorry not sorry

6 Karen pulled out of a wizard hat in the last episode and Wilder's best friend out of nowhere 😵😵

7 Veronica made so bad only to exalt Max when it would have been enough to highlight how he is an idealistic dreamer while she is pragmatic (see the episode in which she had to work with Reynolds)

The only ones saved are Casey, Lauren and Leyla (despite point 2 but that is more on the professional side than on the human side )

i'm gonna preface this by saying that i don't expect NA to be the pinnacle of storytelling or tv writing. at the end of the day, i try not to take it too seriously because it's suppose to be just a silly little show that i turn my brain off to watch and relax. except for when my ship is on screen then i'm dialed to 100000 at all times.

i had hopes for lyn and floyd getting more depth to their storyline but it seems like she's basically chosen claude and given how this open relationship mess was a result of miscommunication between them... i can't say it's surprising? BTS for 4x22 looks like it shows floyd going to lyn's house in the rain so.... who knows if that's a romantic moment or a 'i take it back i want to be with our child and actively involved in their life' moment. all i know is, it's not too late to bring back evie. pretty please writers 😭 like i'm still going to my grave believing she was suppose to be his endgame and the plan was never for floyd and evie to split up but the actress got a main role with TWD and that threw a wrench in things.

i've answered this in a previous ask but i don't feel like the story/narrative has really shown leyla in a 'damsel in distress' or in constant need type of light. but leyla's professional side shined in 4a and we got to see her back in doctoring action for 4x14 and now teaming up with lauren in the recent episode for their on the fly mission to save casey and came in clutch with the caulking gun idea. but yeah, overall not as much doctoring so far in 4b. however given that in 4b she was absent for 4x11-12, reintroduced at the end of 4x13 and even lauren was barely in 4x15, there hasn't been many opportunities.

RIP Medical Director Helen, you were short lived and taken from us far too soon. I guess it's a good thing she went rogue and hired 3 deputy medical directors cause between her traveling back to NYC and now this stroke, they're basically running the place.

lol alas the theme of the show, local man tries to fix everything for the praise and need to feel needed. just once i'd like someone to press him about his long term plans. my boy casey did and you know what? max DIDN'T have an answer! but unfortunately that piece just kinda got... brushed under the rug by the end of the episode. which btw, i just rewatched that sequence and it's so funny how max was bemoaning about nobody wanting to fight for NA to floyd and trying to make everyone seem like quitters and calling them his friends when 4/5 of these "friends" were people max threw to the wolves and laid off to save the others.

i feel like this is gonna be my unpopular opinion moment but while iggy's personal life decisions are really annoying me because hello? martin is the best husband in the world. i actually don't find him to be unbearable professionally. now don't get me wrong, i do think he absolutely whiffs it at times with patients (ex. that poor kid with the school shooting denier father) but i don't find him to be grossly incompetent like it seems the general fandom views him as. also.... wilder and everyone who participated in the rogue morgue surgeries... were extremely reckless with the possible risk and that is fair grounds for getting reported to the AMA *ducks*

karen's inclusion in wilder's storyline was weirdly out of left field for me too lol. but i guess it's because everyone else had their assigned people and since max was obviously preoccupied with helen, just having ben look for and be a part of wilder's storyline wasn't enough oomph.

that's the thing with veronica, most of the time i find her pragmatic though in her disillusion of the medical system, she's become part of the problem, but then sometimes she'll make objectively awful corporate decisions that you can't defend. for example pressuring the FDNY ambulances to be more aggressive with patient pick ups leading to recklessness in order to keep their contracts with the hospital. which, of course as the anthesis of max, she has to have her extremes too. i personally enjoy fuentes' character but i hate, haaaaate that it's always the same goddamn dance between her and max with the 'you'll bankrupt this hospital', 'you're evil!' squabble. with the exception of the creation of NA's own ambulance fleet, rarely have their clashes resulted in something actually helpful for the hospital and we never see any introspection from max to see the flaws in his tenure as MD.
