As we stared up at Gravity Falls’ beautiful and strange constellation patterns, we found ourselves discussing our future as if we were back in our old college dorm.

Journal 3 shitpost disguised as a

doodle dump. (Honestly, there’s more where this came from – there’ll probably be a part 2 as well!)

At least 75% of the journal is just Ford being a weenie and it’s great.

thesnadger:

Wait a minute, in Journal 3 it makes it clear that Fidds was using the memory gun well before the portal accident even happened, but in Society of the Blind Eye he says he’s going to be the first test subject and he isn’t sure if it will even work! What a huge plot hole! I mean how can they even explain that, did Fidds just forget he used it bef–oh.

blacklight edition of the journal reveals that ford wrote “oh shit, still gay” all over this section

busket:

oh my god so, we know ford visited an parallel earth where he didn’t go in the portal and he ended up achieving all his dreams and founding a huge institute where they explore other dimensions without risk of connection to bills dimension

so i imagine at the International Institute of Oddology they probably build a whole bunch more portals and use them to explore and they test them. like does a huge institute where they do science and make portals sound familiar

parallel ford is cave johnson we knew it all along

pitopishi:

F WAS RIGHT

cosmicpines:

But Dipper had a better idea: we burn all my Bill Cipher artifacts instead. So we did. My scrolls, carpets, window… everything I’d ever collected with Bill went into the fire. We made s’mores and told stories until sunrise.

miss-azura:

What have I done?

frickstanchez:

ford.. listen.. hear him out.. settle down with him…

this was like one of my fave parts of the journal

Sooo okay, can we talk about Tate for a minute. Because, according to the journal he was still back in Palo Alto when Fiddleford left for Gravity Falls, and then disappeared from his life. He was just a little kid when that happened. So I headcanon that Tate moved into Gravity Falls when he was older, for the purpose of checking up on his father. He tries to reconnect at first, wants to take his father in and give him a place to sleep. But Fidds, keeps running away, ranting and raving, sometimes not even recognizing him. Tate eventually gives up trying to bring him back home. He’s ashamed that his father is dubbed the ‘town cook’, and at what his dad has been reduced to. But he sets up a bait shop and starts a business, and makes the excuse it’s because baiting is his passion. In reality, he wants to stay in the town, and tries to keep tabs on his father. He had to make sure he wouldn’t disappear again.
