I finished nearly all of the shorts the other day. In addition to the six I mentioned last time, I've now also seen all five Mabel's Guide to Lifes, all two Fixin' it with Sooses, and two Mabel's Scrapbooks (the petting zoo one and the Heist Movie one). Not much to say about these. They're the television equivalent of an omake at Comiket. Fun little morsels for fans, yes, but emphasis on the "little morsels" bit. They're not very long and they're not very substantive either.
I've also seen the first three episodes of Season Two! I'll give more in-depth thoughts below, but as for general impressions so far ... I guess the number one thing I want to say is, I feel like there's a clear difference between Season 2 and Season 1. I enjoy the difference myself, but I imagine many fans might be upset with it. Season 1 felt a lot more "Monster of the Week"-ey. It did have some character development here or there, but it was sparse and small. Likewise, we obviously received some plot advancement, but your typical Gravity Falls Season 1 episode was not one which would advance the plot much at all. Season 2, on the other hand, has so far seemed to be all about the plot development and the character development. I'll discuss this in more details in the individual episode sections. Season 2 Episode 01: Spoiler: show Season 2 Episode 02: Spoiler: show Season 2 Episode 03: Spoiler: show If I remember to bring up anything else, I will. And if I've left out anything important you want to discuss, feel free to bring it up first. But for now, I'll move on to some more general thoughts about the future of the story. (Spoilers through S2E02.) Spoiler: show

>For Talon
I'm glad you're enjoying the series! Yes, Gravity Falls is a very different show, but it has a lot of charm that you eventually get used to, but I'm sure you've figured that out by now. >Talon's Stan thing Spoiler: show |

I was amused by the first sketch, though I didn't really think about the real-life implications. Second made me a little uncomfortable for the same reasons you listed. Didn't think too much of the third.

Mike Inel, the artist who made that animated gif I shared a while back, had been working on another, more ambitious animation fan project for Gravity Falls. Well, he finished it. Here it is.

There's been a lot of fanart of S2E08, but this one in particular out of the ones I just saw is worth a share.

Season 2 Episode 09:
Spoiler: show I noticed some fans making remarks about the season going on hiatus after Episode 10 or so airs and then resuming airing in the spring. Is this speculation based on Season 1 or is this something that's known for a fact to be happening with Season 2? It'll really suck if we only have one new episode a week and a half from now followed by months of nothing.

This fake Twitter tweet is pretty great as well.
Spoiler: show Oh God, and this play on the classic Christmas tale, The Gift of the Magi is priceless. Also, this just in: word of God confirms that the Pines are not Jewish. I lightly assumed that they weren't but this was definitely an on-again off-again assumption for me and so I welcome the clarification so I don't have to wonder about it anymore. (I mean, I know the kids are based off of Hirsch himself and his own sister, but with a name like "Alex Hirsch" I really can't tell whether they are or aren't Jewish, y'know? Not that it should even matter, but still.)

I didn't get a Bill on my poster. ;-;
Tried to see if a walrus showed up anywhere prominent, and this is what I get. (From the episode Into the Bunker.)

Yuki was telling me the other day about a fan-made Mabel sweater, and now I see this one here. Not sure if the same or different, but this one's a great effort for what sounds like a cosplay beginner.
We've heard about Gravity Falls crossovers before, but this one is both delightfully obvious and yet one I don't believe I'd seen before. It's kind of a shame that Disney and Hanna-Barbera aren't likely to cooperate to make a crossover episode with these guys happen. Oh well. Probably for the best.
