Episode 5 has the most reprehensible, vile, and scurrilous rap that has ever passed through mine own ears. Homework's wack, and so are rules! Tucking in your shirt's for fools!

So is my understanding that the official term for fan of this show is a "Gravita" or "Gravitas" for plural, correct? Is there any information on how the show is doing compared to TRON:Uprising? I like both shows but I've heard that Tron isn't doing all that well. So I'd like to see a comparison of viewership. It would suck to loose either show.

Vargo posted:The Mystery Shack is absolutely a real place. It's actually called the House of Mystery, and it's about a half-hour drive from my house. This show is already awesome.

One of my favorite parts so far have been the shows-within-the-show. It seems that animal + random drama trope = comedy. Vaerai Archon posted:So is my understanding that the official term for fan of this show is a "Gravita" or "Gravitas" for plural, correct? No. No, no, no, no. NO! We are not tumblr. We are fans of the show, leave it at that.

It's a pretty nice hat but a little big on me. I'd post a pic but I don't have a camera. Here's the hat if anybody wants one:

So there are plenty of sites out there that encode/decode caesar cyphers like the secret messages in the credits, but now there's one with an explicit Gravity Falls theme!  http://themysteryofgravityfalls.com/ Qrz zh kdyh dqrwkhu, wrwdoob qrw reqralrxv, zdb ri klglqj vsrlohuv!

The name for someone who likes Gravity Falls is whatever their name is. Period. Don't try to make some cutsie name for liking a how, it's dumb.

I really miss the days when I could call myself a "fan" of something without the added baggage of "fandom". Now people assume you've got a tumblr full of original character do not steal self-insert fanfic at the very least, and in the most extreme cases, you literally think that one of the characters lives in your head and occasionally takes control of your body.

Wklv lv jrqqd jhw rxw ri kdqg vr idvw. So this guy makes some pretty awesome (if tiny) pixel art of Gravity Falls (there's spoilers from ep. 5 on his tumblr).     and some guy made an 8-bit version of the opening theme. Now I just want a Gravity Falls video game. Someone call Double Fine, they got their new adventure game.

I wouldn't be surprised if someone makes a Gravity Falls adventure game somewhere down the line. I would pay good money for something like that. It lends itself almost too well to the point and click genre. I guess some generic Mega Man platformer might be fun too. Poultron fucked around with this message at 02:52 on Jul 10, 2012 |

Also, the trees depicted in the show are Redwoods, but the middle of Oregon would either be Douglas Fir or ponderosa pine forests. Also the shack kind of reminds me of Marsh's Free Museum in Long Beach, WA as well as the Ye Olde Curiousity Shoppe on the Seattle waterfront.

I've been there--and to the Oregon Vortex (which my father almost got us kicked out of  )--and it's an obvious mishmash of the two. The House of Mystery is part of the Oregon Vortex attraction, by the way.e: Oh yeah, and Ye Olde Curiosity Shoppe in Seattle has a lot of this going on, too, except most of their stuff is legit, such as the prize geoduck and mummified sailor.

It's not distancing from loving bronies it's not being dumb. No one watching the show needs to draw ocs or give themselves a name or summon a Mabel Tulpa or write violent rapey fanfiction, not because bronies do all that but because it's all awful.

Literally every TV show in existence has a fandom, complete with cutesy nickname for the fans, SA is just one of the few bastions on the entire internet from this kind of thing (well, aside from the Avatar threads). If Breaking Bad fans wanted to start calling themselves Heisenbergs or something we'd be just as critical.

Literally every new show that gets popular recently has people trolling by trying to force the stupidest loving fandom nickname they can think of, which isn't hard because naming fans is inherently the stupidest loving thing and has been since the history of people liking things. See: trekkies, avatards ect.

Fair enough. I agree. It's a drat shame when normal people who like a show have to pretend they don't because the internet has creeps on it.

Did Adventure Time ever have a dumb fandom name? It has a dumb fandom yeah, but I don't think I've heard anyone call themselves something like Timers or Oolings or something. Although I guess Adventure Time is slightly different because the creator of that show, and the crew in general is really into internet/fan participation. Their official tumblr reblogs fanart, crafts, actual things people are selling from Adventure Time and being totally cool with it, everything, while Pen Ward himself is a huge fan of some of the bigger webcomic people like Anthony Clark and Kate Beaton. Anyway, speaking of fanart, I drew a picture of Mabel if... if you all are interested
