gravity is falling down

terrible taste in everything

“If you’ve ever taken a road trip through the Pacific Northwest, you’ve probably seen a bumper sticker for a place called Gravity Falls. It’s not on any maps, and most people have never heard of it. Some people think it’s a myth. But if you’re curious, don’t wait. Take a trip. Find it. It’s out there somewhere in the woods. Waiting.”

So we had a model in figure drawing last week who had a little bit of Stan’s body type. Safe to say I took it and ran– also safe to say I can’t put any of these in my final portfolio

Candy and Grenda give Pacifica stickers and and scribbled drawings of their adventures and weird little origami monsters, and Pacifica keeps every single one of them and definitely doesn’t cry about it, okay?

Candy is the one who keeps the journal, and it’s this chaotic mess of glued-in notepaper and pressed specimens and photographs jammed in haphazardly (some of the photographs are of monsters. Some of them are just of the three of them making faces.)

Mabel made the actual book, and it’s bound less like Ford’s journals and more like a scrapbook. When the trio talk to the twins, Dipper calls it a journal and Mabel calls it a SCRAPBOOK OF MYSTERY!

Eventually Melody makes the three of them matching shirts. They’re purple, and have three question marks on the front and the words “Mystery Trio” on the back. Pacifica gets them tailored, but it’s not like it’s a big deal, she insists. She does that with all her clothes and she can’t be seen hanging out with people whose shirts don’t fit.

Melody was the first person to actually say “you guys are like, the Mystery Trio!” (”Dude, I was thinking the same thing!” Soos says from the corner.) Pacifica grimaces at the name at first, but eventually has a “I’ve come to accept it” scene that parallels Dipper’s.

McGucket acts as an occasional consultant to the girls, usually on issues of machines and engineering. At first, Pacifica is very, very cold to him. Both because she resents him for taking up in her family’s home, and simply on principle for him being a weird hillbilly. McGucket slowly warms her up to him the same way Mabel did-by being a sweet, welcoming cinnamon roll. 

the designs for these two are so frickin’ cute SAVE ME

im so glad this is finally done. after completely losing it to photoshop corruption i had to completely start over and now its done…

Even if the show is over, Tumblr will never forget these two awesome kids.

“IT’S DOUBLE THE MYSTERY!! That means double the price. Fork it over, people. Cloning machines don’t pay for themselves!!”

Dunno if it’ll get finished, but let’s just say the board I left it on captures the general gist:

here have this crappy edit i made because who doesn’t love recovery fidds??

just a work in progress…in flannel
