I had to mute some music in a few spots due to a copyright claim from UMC. A few hours later, the new Bill Cipher book was announced so I bet the almighty algorithms were doing a sweep for Gravity Falls content.

Check out my other Gravity Falls videos on the internet!

And be sure to pay a visit to all the artists who worked on this! Linked in the description.

"Your brother is dependable. When I give him an order, I know he won't question it!"

This is a fantastic line. "Dependable" makes you expect him to say "I know he'll accomplish it" or something similar. Yet instead of valuing Dipper's competence, Stanford prioritizes his nephew's blind loyalty.

Oof the parallel. Ford not telling Mcgucket about the shapeshifter is what causes him to unintentionally free it. The same thing happens with Mabel and rift

THIS. THIS IS WHAT WAS MISSING FROM FORD.

Ford needs so much more screentime than just being the author for 5 more episodes. I absolutely LOVED this storyboard. The McGucket encounter, the throwback to the bunker, everything about this is amazing. It fleshes out Ford more as a character and favors Mabel's point of view during the portal incident.

“I’m sorry, but I’m not wearing a sweater in 90° heat.” Says the guy wearing a sweater AND jacket in 90° heat.

“Hey, hi! It’s me, Mabel! I have a pig! I’m your niece!”
That sounds *exactly* like something Mabel would say

[Capeey]

the fact the ending would make sense to further episodes and doesn't ruin the plot actually is clever af

[erikm]

Okay, "70th Annual Gravity Falls Middle-Of-The-Night Parade" is a top tier gag that would easily fit in the show

[justlikethis]

the ''...for love, dude'' sign falling and turning into ''f love, dude.'' is such a gravity falls thing to happen

"DON'T BRING MY PAST RELATIONSHIPS INTO THIS!"

"THAT WAS THIS MORNING!"

Props to the VA cast for being able to not only imitate the OG characters but also they're taking on multiple roles and still nailing it!

[viberadio]

"SO! Where are we going? A fairy ocean? A nymph forest? *Gasp* OHIO???!!"

Love the energy!

[LamerGuy]

this is actually insane

this needs to be canon as it adds so much more depth to ford's character

bravo to the people who worked on this

[jeffreycruz]

It really does just take the first 30 seconds to feel like you’re sucked back into this world. The editing, direction, story boarding, writing, and voice acting is perfect! Thank you for having me be a part of this project, it was more than an honor! And major hats off to EVERYONE involved. Congratulations all🙏

[aamorigaines.]

It's crazy how much this seems like an actual lost episode of the show, down the great impersonations done by the VAs, the score, and the story. Well done, Keyan!

[StickBreightley]

The dopamine rush from seeing a code after the credits, running it through caesar and atbash, realizing neither worked, and then realizing I need to comb through the episode again to find the vigenére key is something I haven’t felt for a *long* time. This is going to be amazing.

Thank you Keyan for keeping the dream alive.

The fact that ford couldn't let go of his "Don't trust anyone" code could have given the scene where mabel was tricked by bill wayyy more depth because in this case weirdmaggedon would have been truly made possible because of ford as bill had said, ford not trusting mabel to help protect the rift in the end would have caused her to have her guard lowered enough to give bill/blandon the rift and in the end of the season where he had to erase stan's memories to get rid of bill would have also had a bigger punch because imagine the pain he would feel while aiming the memory gun at stan, he'd reflect on how pretty much everything that had happened was his fault, Trusting bill, not trusting fiddleford, constantly fighting stanley especially when it mattered most at the banishing spell scene and choosing to not trust mabel after she had helped him and now he's going to use the memory gun on a member of his family again but this time he's doing it out of trust in stan's plan to get rid of bill. The irony it would have brought to the finale man.😊

This episode should be considered an original part of the series, and the twist at the end that explains why Mabel didn't know about the rift. Perfect.

4:27 "I appreciate the gesture, but I'm not wearing a sweater in 90 degree heat."
Brave words coming from a man who's wearing a turtleneck under a trenchcoat.

Y'all did a fabulous job with this!! Thank you so much for all your hard work. :)

Honestly everything I'd want from a fanmade GF episode. Amazing job to everyone who was a part of this 🥳
