Have you watched Gravity Falls?
Which are your favourite episodes?
Who are your favourite characters?
For their summer vacation, 12-year-old twins Dipper and Mabel Pines are dropped off from their home in Piedmont, California, to the fictitious town of Gravity Falls, Roadkill County, Oregon to spend the summer with their great uncle Stan Pines (often shortened to Grunkle Stan), who runs a tourist trap called the "Mystery Shack". Things are not what they seem in this small town, and with the help of a mysterious journal that Dipper finds in the forest, they begin unraveling the town's mysteries.

I love 'Gravity Falls', man. It's like 'John Dies At the End' for kids, or Lovecraft for kids, or...you know, something that's just fun and well-written for anyone, for once.

Favourite episode is "Fight Fighters". No question. It's just brimming with game references like quick-snap (ready your pause button, man), and
Spoiler.
I love that Dipper realises he's sort of the bad guy of the episode at the end, and he accepts his comeuppance without question like a champ. Even when he's a buttface, Dipper's still a pretty darn good guy. It's really admirable.
"Double Dipper" and "Time Traveler's Pig" aren't far behind.

...I don't know that I have a favourite character. They're all really good in there, they all just fit. I guess I can't help but identify most with Dipper, because I also was timid and bookish growing up, and my sister was similarly there to push me around and occasionally give me a boost.

[EDIT...that theme song is too dang cool for school, man. I don't think I can come up with anything awesomer this side of, like, 'Baretta', and that's almost cheating to win, because like how the heck do you compete with all that Sammy Davis and wocka-chicka and soul, man? Unfair.]
