GF Challenge – Day 4:Favorite Fan Theory or Headcannon

Posted in 20 Days Gravity Falls Challenge, Gravity Falls, Uncategorized on November 29, 2014 by Sara Hammerzmith

Hmm. This one got me thinking for a little while. I think I like the idea of Stanford’s twin though.

stanfordtwins

Just as Dipper and Mabel are twins, the theory is about Stanford having a twin as well, called Stanley. If you look at the numberplate of Stan’s car, you can see it says “STNLYMBL” rather than “STNFD”, which is one of many, many reasons the theory has started. The theory and it’s “evidence” are explain pretty good in _THIS_ Tumblr post, so go check it out!

It seems pretty reasonable to me, considering that he’s Mabel’s and Dipper’s GRANDUNCLE it only makes sense he’d have a brother, and since the two young ones are twins, why couldn’t Stan and Stanley? I hope this is something Hirsch is truly working on, so we don’t end up with nothing. God, I wish Seasons 2 of Gravity Falls could just start here in Sweden!

20 Days Gravity Falls Challenge: Day 01: Favorite Character

Posted in 20 Days Gravity Falls Challenge, Gravity Falls, Uncategorized on November 23, 2014 by Sara Hammerzmith

So, since I only have a few extra bonus days left on my 30 Days Song Challenge, I’ll start another challenge. This time we’ll focus on one of my favorite Disney Channel series – Gravity Falls. Nerdfactor 1000, but who cares.

20daygravity

Day 1 – Favorite Character.

I’ll be honest about this one. I actually turned to Michelle and asked HER if she knew who my favorite character was. At first I spontaneously thought Mabel, but then I came to think about Dipper. But do I love Dipper or do I love his voice actors? Then I cam to think about the epicness that is Bill Cipher, and the viciousness that is Gideon Gleeful, or the characters that are Wendy and Stanford.

That’s when we came to the conclusion that pretty much ALL Characters on Gravity Falls are so lovable it’s hard to choose one.

But, I have to, and therefore I’ll go with this one.

MabelPines

Mabel Pines.

Mabel… what can we say about her. She’s basically my spiritanimal. Despite her being like, 12, I still relate to her so much on a personality level. I tend, A LOT, to do things the goofy way and more often than not do people get fed up with it. Fed up with my childish behaviour in the sense of making stupid voices to animals or being playful at a concert and doing things like hanging upside down during “It Snows In Hell” or screaming “DET FINNS INGET SKROT – ALLT SKROT ÄR BARA GAMLA MOLEJOKSER OCH MOJÄNGER” on a German train in the middle of the night to shut up the angry german or to just run around and love myself, or at least try to.

Mabel Pines is the exact kind of character that kids need to see featured in television today. A girl who is nothing but herself, who’s witty and smart without compromising other interests. Alex Hirsch, I salute you. You sure know how to properly write a good, female lead character. Thank you, Thank you.

Gravity Falls S2 & Phineas & Ferb: Star Wars

Posted in Gravity Falls, Phineas&Ferb, Uncategorized on August 5, 2014 by Sara Hammerzmith

A lot of exciting things has happened in the Disney camp lately. On July 26th, the newest Phineas & Ferb Special STAR WARS had it’s premiere in the United States, and I can’t fucking wait ’til it gets to Sweden. It’ll probably be here by November, seeing that both “Where’s Perry?” AND “Mission Marvel” was released in Sweden in November.

Man, I can’t even tell you. I still remember the day Disney bought Lucas Film and EVERYBODY tweeted Povenmire and Marsh asking them if there would be a Star Wars special, and I also remember when they mysteriously dropped sketches and fake posters…. and when it was finally revealed they were ACTUALLY doing this I sort of lost my shit.

It’s been a year or so since they announced this, and now it’s here. It’s finally freaking here. Or well, in the States. Not here. I’ve even heard some exciting things about it, which I won’t bring up here (in case it turns out to be fake, haha). Nevertheless, I can’t wait.

Yesterday, Gravity Falls season 2 had it’s premiere in the US as well, with the first episode being called “Scary-oke”. Of course, I have yet to see this, and if you calculate as they did back in 2012, this will come around the same time as Star Wars, or perhaps a little behind in order not to clash.

Gravity Falls… where do I begin about that series. I love it to death. Phineas&Ferb in all it’s glory, but Gravity Falls, damn it. That series excites the hell out of me. And I’ve heard that apparently, this season is supposed to be a tad bit darker than the first season, which excites me even more.

At times like this, I really, REALLY wished we were quicker in getting our shit voiced and released over here. I just can’t wait for these specials.

Dreamscaperers

Posted in Gravity Falls, Uncategorized on December 4, 2013 by Sara Hammerzmith

clopinstop

Uh. I haven’t updated my spoiler pic it appears. Oh well, you get what I want to have said with it…

HOLY HELL!

I’m not even joking. Seriously. I’m almost at loss for words. It wasn’t as I had expected it to be, it was BETTER. Comparing to previous episodes of Gravity Falls, I must say that things got fairly more intense in this one. Not only the storyline, but also the language. I read somewhere on Tumblr yesterday about how they didn’t understand how Alex had been allowed to put certain things in, and now I understand them. It has been some time since we saw something like this on DC, that’s for sure…

But you know, I’m confused. I always thought Bill Cipher would be the worst thing the Pines’ would come across, but it appears I was wrong. I mean, I have seen the show before, I do know who Gideon is and what he is and has been capable of doing, but seriously, SCREWING OVER THE DREAM DEMON? BLOWING UP THE SHACK WITH PEOPLE IN IT? This 9 year old ain’t joking around, that’s for sure! Now I can barely wait for “Gideon Rises”.

Although I must say, I was a bit surprised to see that they’d actually translated and voiced the backwards message in Gideon’s summoning. I always thought they’d leave it as it was, appears I was wrong! They do this better than I expected them to. And also, as I thought, they did translate Bill’s last name (it became Chifer in Swedish, based off Chiffer, literally meaning Cipher). Even though it wasn’t the actor I had in mind to voice Bill, I still think they did a smashingly good choice, and he did a fantastic job as hell! I’m pretty sure it’s the same guy who do McGucket’s voice, but I won’t swear on it. And I don’t know today who it is. I have planned to go on a voice-hunt some time now to figure who did who besides the five main characters.

Well… Yes. This was well worth it’s waiting, I can say that much. “Gideon Rises” can’t come soon enough now!

Land Before Swine & Mission Marvel

Posted in Gravity Falls, Phineas&Ferb, Uncategorized on November 30, 2013 by Sara Hammerzmith

Well, ain’t this cute. For the first time in what would be like forever I’m up very early. I have an exam coming at me this Monday, so I really need to shape up my sleep-cycle. And when’s a better time to do that if not when they air new episodes of Gravity Falls in Club DC? I must say I did manage to make it rather cozy with candle lights and all. Huh, I guess the upcoming winter is coming onto me.

But yes. “Land Before Swine”. It was cute. I never really paid much attention to the relationship between Grunkle Stan and the twins, but I think it just kinda hit me with this one. And I love McGucket. I don’t know what it is, but it’s something about him that I just love. Now I’m looking forward to Dreamscaperers. It might be coming to an end, but now I’m excited about it.

Now, let’s take a moment to talk about part two of “Mission Marvel”. Now, I’ve never really engaged much interest in the Avengers prior to this, the closest being me watching Spiderman when I was younger. MUCH younger. When it was actually called “Spindelmannen”. Yeah. So. Well. Iron Man. I just, I’m so done with his sarcastic attitude. I’ve never laughed so hard at a Phineas&Ferb episode as I have with Mission Marvel. The dialouge, seriously. The DIALOUGE.

But over all, I really loved this special. It doesn’t quite beat out “Across the 2nd Dimension”, but it did sure whipe the floor with “SBTY”. What failed it in the end for me was the last fight. I don’t know why, but something was lost there. I guess I kind wished they had just stopped after the first fight, or something. But the Candace&Phineas moment was beautiful. Yeah. This was dope.

Sorry. I’m not good at writing about these things. But yeah. It was dope.

Te Deum

Posted in Gravity Falls, Uncategorized on November 27, 2013 by Sara Hammerzmith

Te Deum is the name of the Eurovision anthem, apparently. You know that, that melody that goes off before the show starts. I love that little piece, or the whole piece, but even just that little part just brightens my day so much at times. I think I really love Eurovision Song Contest. Or well. I must do, I wouldn’t spend all this money that I don’t have on Eurovision if I didn’t. Iceland’s entry in 2008 represents my feelings about Eurovision pretty damn good.

But on a more serious note, I found out today that Dreamscaperers, the first part of the 2-part-season finale will air on Tuesday, already. Literally four days after “Land Before Swine”. I’m not ready for this. It’s too soon. I don’t want to let go just yet. I mean. Think about the day when “Gideon Rises” have aired. Sure, the people in the US has already gone through it, but you know… what will I do with my life. I… I’ve waited for this so long. Perhaps I’m just scared it’ll be bad you know. Or that they’ll fuck it up. I can’t wait to hear who’ll voice Bill Cipher though. Oh happy days!

Dreamscaperers, TUESDAY, Dec 3rd, at 16:50 Swedish time, Disney Channel. There. Don’t fucking miss it because I’ll go beserk if you do. I also recommend you all to buy gold for the oncoming apocalypse.

Boyz Crazy

Posted in Gravity Falls, Uncategorized on November 23, 2013 by Sara Hammerzmith

It appears it was a new Gravity Falls episode this morning after all, “Boyz Crazy” which I completely missed.

Am I happy about this? Hell yeah! But on the same time not. This means, we are only one episode away from the season finale. Only one episode away.

And then the big strike came.

“Land Before Swine” is to be aired next week. Do you understand what this means? It means we are the end. We’re getting closer and closer to the end, to the end of the first season of Gravity Falls.

I know they’ve already wrapped up the whole thing in the States, but you know…. I don’t want it to be over just yet. We’re in the middle of Mission Month, which ends next week, and right after that, Gravity Falls ends too? No. It’s way too many feels in too soon. BOTH Mission Marvel and Gravity Falls can’t be over on the same time. No. It’s not okay.

Then comes the next scare. DisneyChannel in Scandinavia (Europe?) aren’t exactly the best ones on keeping their promises. They write that “Boss Mabel” will air, but then they air “The Deep End”. What if they accidently air “Gideon Rises” ahead of “Dreamscaperers”? Does it matter? Of course it does. I suppose. Jesus.

Too many feels. I can’t even right now… I just.

Bye.

Dippers Guide to the Unexplained

Posted in Gravity Falls, Uncategorized on November 19, 2013 by Sara Hammerzmith

I’m sitting here, 10 o clock, trying to write a personal letter for an important job oppurtunity, also knowing I have to get up in five hours to go to my temporary work, but all I can think about is Jason Ritter.

I just thought I’d let everybody know that I really, really, really love Gravity Falls.

In case you didn’t know, you know.

I hope these comes to Sweden. I love Jason Ritter, but I can’t wait to hear Freddy kill these. Seriously.

Summerween

Posted in Gravity Falls, Uncategorized on August 28, 2013 by Sara Hammerzmith

After a long hiatus, Gravity Falls is finally back on Disney Channel Scandinavia. For one episode. Summerween. Why on EARTH they’d want to air only one episode I fail to understand, but there’s probably some deep logic buried in that. Or not. Oh well.

Just as for “Where’s Perry?” we, my platypus and I, figured we needed some big sort of celebration, said and done. Since it’s Gravity Falls and it’s mystery and shit, we brought out Cinderella as our houseguest when it came to tablecloth, cause I mean lets face it – midnight theme is a whole lot better than pink princesses or Phineas&Ferb’s Backyard Beach.

I had been downtown earlier and picked up new candles and also glass-jars to have them in.

We later got home, set everything up, Bill Cipher paying a visit (Seriously GF fans – we are WELL aware of who he is and what he does, we’re merely celebrating the premiere, aye?) and Searchfortheblindeye.com for mood music. It was… magical. Or perhaps mysterious fits better.

greavity 026

Or as Alex called it – snackrifice. Yes, the little fangirl in me fangirled over getting noticed by Alex. THE Alex. Whop!

Oh well, continuing onto “Summerween” as an episode. To be fair, we were a bit uncertain at first if they were really going to air “Summerween” – I mean, do you remember the time when they accidently aired “Just Desserts” on Phineas&Ferb, or even better, when they switched airdates on “Time Travellers Pig” and “Irrational Treasure”? No wonder it never made sense what they said before the episodes.

But gladly, they didn’t mess up with time. They did indeed air Summerween, and I’m just in love with it. It was good. I’m not sure, what I’m going to say here. It wasn’t exceptionally good like for instance “Fight Fighters” or “Little Dipper” but everything can’t be perfect, right? Although, I’m more than in love with the ending sequences of Waddles. I love Waddles. We watched “Little Dipper” right afterwards, since we failed to see it during Skogsröjet. That episode on the other hand, had us screaming. In frustration. I nearly flipped the table when Dipper and Mabel fought over who to be first. Seriously. Goddamnit.

Oh well. That’ll be all for now, I’ll see yah all later!
