Everyone knows that Summer is the worst time of the year for people who are fans of Halloween. Well thank goodness for Summerween! Why celebrate pure evil only one time a year when you can do it twice?
The Event:
A day celebrating Summerween, spoopiness, and Gravity Falls in general.
When:
June 22nd, all day in every time zone. (Late submissions accepted for a week or so after.)
How to Participate:
make something Summerween-themed. Anything creative is accepted. If you decorate you desk or slap a witch hat on a triangle and tag it #SummerweenCelebration we’ll reblog it.
make something for others to use. Banners, icons, recipes, etc. if you have something you feel comfortable with this blog showcasing for other people to use (under our #celebration tag), please message this blog (preferably before the 22nd) and let us know!
get into the spirit. Decorate your blog, change your icon, listen to some spooky music, make some food, anything you want. Its entirely up to you! (Feel free to check out our #celebration tag for ideas if you’d like!)
join the stream. (Schedule and link here. The link will be officially added there on June 22nd.) We’ll be streaming the Summerween Gravity Falls episode as well as a few other episodes and some spooky-scary movies.
Content Submission Rules:
must be tagged #SummerweenCelebration.
must be Summerween-themed (so Gravity Falls + spooky). What counts as “Summerween” will be flexible but it must have something to do with Gravity Falls.
no nsfw will be reblogged. This is an event intended for a broad age range. We’re more flexible on the blood, gore, and body horror than nudity though (this is Gravity Falls after all.)
no ships will be reblogged. Just to avoid drama.
obviously nothing offensive will be reblogged either.
it’s funny to me how different my life is today, during the blacklight journal release, than when the regular edition came out. this week I’m starting a new job, making plans for Independence Day weekend, and still trying to find my way around Portland. last year was Cipher Hunt. when I open Journal 3, it takes me back to that late July—the muggy heat of Florida, coffee runs, staying up late, falling asleep on one of the uncomfortable futons in the sitting room we had then, waking up in the middle of the night to the sound of a Twitter notification. staring at my copy of Journal 3 as it sat on the corner of the coffee table, easily within reach.
Journal 3 always fills me with that same sense of wonder I felt during Cipher Hunt—and the Journal itself has it’s own magic. I wonder if the special journal will remind me of that time, or if I’ll create all new memories around it.
hey holly…………..you know what we need…………………….
another hunt
while on one hand I don’t think my nerves or my wallet could take it, I know deep down that if Hirsch ever tried to pull off another thing like Cipher Hunt I would drop everything w/o question
Au in which Grunkle Stan has also 6 fingers, like the author journals, his brother. And Dipper trys to proof that Grunkle Stan is the author, without asking him directly.
No you don’t understand this would change Dipper’s entire reaction to actually meeting the author oh my g o d
the original 2000 piece puzzle from Cipher Hunt—the same one that was found by May Walker in the post office next to House of Pies and put together by the tireless GF fans who participated in Puzzle Hell—has been brought to stay with the Bill statue at Confusion Hill! the puzzle will be displayed soon for all visitors to see.
Thanks to Momo (@officialgfmayor) for being my wheels! We drove down to LA to pick it up together, and a few trips to Confusion Hill to work out the details involved in getting it displayed safely indoors (without covering a bunch of displays). (This was also part of the reason it took so long to get it to CH after we obtained it from LA, since I no longer have a car of my own we can only go on certain days that we both have off work. Also the road to CH got blocked for a bit because of rockslides lol)
And the staff at Confusion Hill are awesome and amazing and everyone needs to go there and check it out and support them! If you stop by, dont forget to ask about Bill’s treasure box! And go see the Gravity House while you are there, Alex hid a Bill drawing in there somewhere… 😉
