I’m taking a class about fantasy literature, and Propp’s theories came up in our discussion. Propp came up with a list of 31 plot elements contained within Russian fairy tales. I got excited when I noticed many of the elements can be found in Gravity Falls, so I made a bunch of screenshot redraws to share with you. (And practice coloring. And give you more Stan twins feels.)
Alex has been feeling chatty lately over on twitter, and since a lot of these are FAQs, decided to post them for posterity’s sake. (Since he’s in the habit of trimming his feed.)
