Dude, I Want To Express My Opinion.

Fellow Gravity Falls fans, it is with great excitement that I reveal, the script to Not What He Seems!!

In 2015, a guy named Mason McGrew won a contest Alex Hirsch was hosting by making this awesome stop motion video of the theme song with the VinylMation toys!

His prize was the entire script to Gravity Falls' biggest episode!

I reached out to him last week and he graciously scanned every page and gave me permission to release it for you all to read.

There are some differences in it to the actual episode. Some funny and some...I'm gonna go cry now ;-;

Link to the Google Drive of the script!

Link to Archive Upload I made as well

A huge thank you to Mason for doing this and letting me share this. Please do go check out his work as it's amazing. I'm truly grateful for his kindness and trust in letting me share with you all this rare and amazing piece of Gravity Falls fandom history!

Now go! Read every page, find every cut scene, share what you can. This script is now public and for all of you to enjoy.

It is complete…! :’D I wanted to get these done in December but life happened. Regardless, I’m glad I got to finish at a decent time. Enjoy some lovely Pines Winter bonding :D

so @skittlestew​ brought up an ‘angsty stans clothes swap scene, but with the tattoos’, and i had to see this idea through

Don't know if I'm doing the meme right, but I had fun regardless. Got the idea from a reply to my comment on @dark-lord-of-awesomeness Princess Stan story describing Stan as Ford's emotional support.

sigh, today i'm thinking about ford settling back into the lab after he first comes home, and seeing the proof of how hard stan worked to bring him home

stan was always the "dumb one" between them, always riding on ford's coat tails and slacking off. but he was able to do, on his own, without help from anyone, what it took ford 12 phds, fiddleford's help, and bill's guidance to do. just based off of ONE of ford's cryptic journals and whatever scattered notes and blueprints he was able to find, all while having never graduated high school.

ford having to confront how hard stan worked, how far he pushed himself, how smart he actually is

EDIT: also, stan only had journal 1, that's NOT the one he was working with bill in! that's his first few years in gravity falls, when ford was just as ignorant as stan was! there probably isn't a lot for stan to work with in there.

I’ve already seen a post going around about not feeling bad for Mabel because she wouldn’t play the game with Dipper. I get that it’s been a while but I’m just going to refresh everyone’s memories about what happens when Mabel plays ‘nerd’ games with Dipper.

She loses.

She loses a lot. 

Why would she want to play a game where he completely and utterly demolishes her time after time? Who would do that to themselves? She was all for the game when it mentions Unicorns and elves like, hell yeah she’s going to play it with him! But there’s a reason why the camera was on her face when Dipper started talking about Math Math and More Math.

Mabel has deep self conscious issues and you want her to play a game that would make that worse just for her brother to be happy? Sorry, I’m a pretty egotistical person but even I don’t want to play a game that is so out of my comfort zone just to make someone happy.

And yeah, she made fun of him. You know when she made fun of him after playing a game? Little Dipper.

“You’re better then me at, like, everything. And you always rub it in my face.”

I agree that there needs to be some communication and that Dipper should get an apology, but as an audience we also have to remember that Mabel is constantly thought of as the stupid twin.

Even by Gravity Falls fans. 

Of course she doesn’t want to play a game centered around math. She only starts playing when she can just use her imagination. That’s what Mabel is good at.

Please let a twelve year old girl play towards her strengths rather than being torn down repetitively because she’s not as mathematically capable against a kid who can do this:

I wouldn’t even want to play against Dipper and I have taken three levels of calculus.
