Mabel and every sweater she has ever worn
2012: ooo I wonder who the triangle man at the end of the theme song is, so mysterious
Now: ALEX GOD DAMN HIRSCH YOU PUT IT BACK WHERE IT CAME FROM RN
For the past month or so I’ve been drawing these little Gravity Falls vignettes based upon memories of vacations my brother and I spent at my grandparents’ summer cottage in Nova Scotia. Click through for captions explaining my strange childhood. I did something similar previously here.
Come to think of it, most of the times Stan shows up in these he’s standing in for a memory of my grandmother, probably because she has a rather larger-than-life personality. It’s a shame I didn’t realize sooner, though, because in his own subtle, quiet way, my grandfather is the biggest troll in the world. Ah well, I’m too tired of working on these for now, maybe I’ll do another set later on.
Every important character we see from the beginning of the show wears something on their head
Soos: baseball hat - symbolizes Soos going from handy man(child) to Mister Mystery and taking over the shack and his journey to get there
Dipper: baseball hat with pine tree - eventually traded with Wendy to symbolize that he will always hold a special place in Wendy’s heart; hides the birthmark that originated his nickname and made him “special;” symbol used on the cipher wheel
Stan: fez - eventually given to Soos to symbolize giving over the Mystery Shack; symbolized his conman background and family; symbol used on the cipher wheel
Mabel: headband - constant throughout the show, but will always match with the original shooting star sweater that she wore and is her symbol on the cipher wheel
Wendy: lumberjack hat - symbolizes her family background; eventually traded with Dipper so that he’ll never forget Gravity Falls; plays more into the “Dipper is Alex Hirsch as a kid” because Alex commonly wears that type of hat as an adult
Bonus!
Bill: top hat - symbolizes that he’s an overdressed asshole
