From the CTN panel. Turns out Hirsch was actually trolling us with the ‘leaked’ image.
oh my god
JFC that bastard
Let me put this in perspective for all you non-Gravity Falls people. See, in the show there are these journals containing all the secrets about the paranormal nature of Gravity Falls. The biggest mystery of the series is WHO wrote them. A lot of attention has been dedicated to this one plot point.
A few months back, this image was leaked. It’s a younger version of the character McGucket, who has a few screws loose but is an amazing mechanical engineer. He’s a pretty reasonable answer for “Who is the author?” Alex Hirsch then tweeted “fuming now” before quickly deleting the tweet, and some attempts were made to erase evidence of the leaked image.
And it was…rather disappointing to have the big mystery popped like that. No reveal. No explanation. Just “yeah I guess it’s McGucket.”
In one of the most recent episodes, the main character Dipper comes to the conclusion that McGucket must have written the journals. All the promos for the episodes said we would finally learn who wrote them! And everyone was thinking, “yeah, well, we knew that already…”
Until the end of the episode reveals, without a doubt, that McGucket is NOT the author. He WORKED with the author, but he himself couldn’t have written them.
THIS MAN is Alex Hirsch, creator of Gravity Falls. Here’s his smug ass smiling next to the “leaked” picture. He released the picture, pretended to get pissed, pretended to cover it up, and now here he is basking in the satisfaction of throwing the entire fandom for a loop.
Alex Hirsch is everything I admire and fear.
