Reject humanity. Embrace triangle.
I rewatched gravity falls and was make my childhood dream come true - drawing own bill humanisation….
Here is some sketches
literally how i am in the gc n i KNOW they sicka me
Part 2
excited for his book
As most Fallers already know, the symbol that we associate Gideon Gleeful with (besides his unnatural white pompadour, of course) is his star.
Now, the eye has various symbols within it that invoke the image of another character to our minds. Single eye in the middle of the shape, several, lightly colored triangles, one of which is yellow. That’s right; it’s Bill Cipher himself. Now, as we all know, Bill is a dream demon that can only be seen in two ways; either in the Mindscape itself, or when he possesses a body and controls it (ex. Bipper).
Now, Alex Hirsch and the folks at GF HQ didn’t just make us relate the star to Bill for kicks; they were telling us something. Yes, the evil image told us that Gideon wasn’t going to be a goody-goody Boy Scout of a character, but let’s be honest; none of us expected him to be that way from the get-go. No, the meaning behind this was far, far more sinister.
After a long night of searching through the “Gravity Falls Theories” Tag and googling random leads for my next theory, I came across this fellow.
DECARABIA.
Decarabia (or just Carabia), is a demon who supposedly is a marquis of hell and has many legions of demons under his command. At first I was like “oh, ok cool” but when I read deeper into this, some things began to line up.
First off, Decarabia’s symbol. Can you guess what it is?
That’s right; a star with an eye in the middle. Kind of like some false psychic’s symbol, huh?
So, I kept reading further and further into Decarabia’s mythos. Apparently, Decarabia was the 69th demon out of Solomon’s 72 spirits to fall from Heaven, and his most important “infernal duties” tend to include herbs and precious stones.
HERBS
AND PRECIOUS STONES.
Decarabia also is said to be capable of instructing sorcerers in the arts of astral and dream shape shifting.
Seems a bit convinent, eh?
Too convenient?
Now, I know that Gideon read the ritual from Journal #2, but you’ve all seen enough movies where demons are summoned to know that when a ritual is improperly prepared, the results are disastrous. Gideon may have gotten the ritual from Journal #2, but who’s to say he didn’t get the experience of summoning spirits and demons from another source? Say, Decarabia?
Now, this also further encouraged by the Bill Cipher AMA that occured on April 1st, 2015. In it, “Bill” stated that, “EACH IMAGE OF ME ACTS AS A PEEPHOLE FROM MY DIMENSION TO YOURS.” Now, if we make the assumption that Decarabia operates by the same basic rules as Bill (since they are both demons), he too can see out of his image; a pentagram with an eye in the middle. Now, who would spread this image around but a follower of Decarabia?
Also, despite not containing Decarabia’s symbol, Gideon passes out pins during the Season 1 Finale, all of which contain a hidden camera within so that he may spy on Gravity Falls to further cement his position as town psychic.
“EACH IMAGE OF ME ACTS AS A PEEPHOLE FROM MY DIMENSION TO YOURS.”
Gideon had to get the idea for his secret pins from somewhere, right? Perhaps from his demonic master?
Now, I’m not saying that Decarabia is even a character on Gravity Falls, let alone that he’s definitely up to some thing with Gideon, but the similarities match up too often for this to be anything more than a coincidence, or a real happening.
And as you all know, in a town like Gravity Falls, there’s no such thing as a coincidence.
just beautiful
IM BACK YEAH YEAHAHWHH
turns out the only problem I had with drawing him this whole time was his pin straight hair…………i literally could’ve started cutting it w/ a razor and gotten out of my willblock or whatever

thank u megan thee stallion for your song about jerking it to lezzy porn and passing out. no one is doing it like you <3
So you’ve figured out that you want to work with a pop culture deity in your foray into pop culture magic and/or paganism (PCM or PCP). Firstly, congratulations! Choosing to work with a deity first instead of waiting for them to reach out is always nerve-wracking, and I’m proud of you for getting this far!
“Thank you, Jasper. But how do I do research into the pop culture deity?” you may ask. Pop culture deities tend to get little press, and you’re not alone in your struggle to find information on offerings, associations, or even domain. As I only work with pop culture deities at this time, that’s what I’m covering here. I’m also not going to cover picking the deity, as that’s a deeply personal process and is honestly just like picking a non-pop culture deity to work with or worship.
Luckily, there are six basic steps that you can take:
1: Scour canon and supplemental materials.
Checking the canon material is kinda self-explanatory for pop culture magic. While non-canon materials can often contradict canon, they can also provide some further insight into a character (when written well). If you’re working with a deity from supplemental material, I wish you luck, because this is going to be more irritating.
2: Fandom wikis.
If you don’t have access to the canon/supplemental material, fandom wikis are a good backup. They are sources of knowledge that are absolutely dedicated to a piece of media and can help you learn more about a specific pop culture deity without making you play through a series of 60+ hour games or spending a small fortune on books if you don’t have a library or your library doesn’t have the series.
3: See if anyone else has covered the deity in a PCP context.
For more popular series such as the Elder Scrolls or the Legend of Zelda, their deities may already be worked with by other pop culture pagans online. Trying to find PCP spaces (Tumblr tags, Discord servers, etc) can help you learn others’ perspectives on the deity you’re trying to study for.
4: Check fandom writing blogs.
Headcanon and fandom writing blogs are a pop culture pagan’s best friend. These fine folks put endless hours, often for free, into some top notch stuff. Many take requests or commissions, and you can tip them for their help. Really, go befriend a writing blog right now.
5: Unverified Personal Gnosis (UPG) and personal headcanons.
I consider these two things to be the same but some other magic practitioners say that UPG comes from experience and headcanons are just “there”, so take whatever definition you’d like. They’re essentially the same in a PCP context because non-pop culture practitioners are going to treat everything you ever say as UPG and fandom blogs (because you will inevitably get those unless you make a point of saying “this is a religious post, fandom blogs do not interact”) will think they’re just weird headcanons written from an in-universe perspective. You really can’t win here.
Anyway, through personal experience and associations, you can learn more and more what a pop culture deity is associated with. This is an important step in the process of any form of deity relationships, not just with pop culture deities.
6: Just ask the deity.
At this point, you’ve decided that you want to work with this deity. You’ve done your deep-dive into canon. You’ve reached out and learned a few initial things. Now, you’re talking to the PCP deity in some manner, so any questions you have about them...you can just ask.
This ties back into number 5, in that whatever you find out with be UPG/a headcanon because you can’t point to something in canon.
