Fun fact: some of the voice actors from Magic School Bus also appeared in Are You Afraid of the Dark?, and I was feeling nostalgic so I drew the MSB kids as their AYAOTD counterparts.

I was still in an Oz mood, so I finally got around to drawing my Wizard of Oz AU for GF (I nicknamed it Emerald Falls). I’ve had this idea for a long time, after realizing that Stan fits incredibly well as the morally grey character of the Wizard himself.

#gravityfalls #wizardofoz #ozian

- Stan as the Wizard of Oz
- Ford as the lost Prince Ozma, based on Princess Ozma (Ford’s journals also take the place of the Silver Shoes / Ruby Slippers)
- Dipper as a combination of Dorothy Gale and Ojo the Unlucky
- Mabel as Scraps the Patchwork Girl
- Fiddleford as a combination of the Scarecrow and Jack Pumpkinhead
- Soos as Nick Chopper, the Tin Woodman
- Wendy as the Lion (not so much cowardly in this version, but rather secretly stressed out like in canon)
- Waddles as Toto

- Axolotl as Lurline the Fairy Queen
- Melody as the Good Witch of the North
- Jheselbraum as Glinda the Good Witch of the South (in the original Oz books, Glinda has a magic Book of Records that instantly records everything that happens in the world)

- Pacifica as Princess Langwidere
- Gideon as the Wicked Warlock of the West
- Gnomes as the winged monkeys
- Bill as the Gnome King, which I changed to the Troll King in this AU to avoid confusion with the monkey gnomes
- Bill’s henchmaniacs as Whimsies, Growleywogs, and Phanfasms. It’s not entirely clear in my drawing, but in this AU they would appear to be made of rock, gems, and lava. I imagine they would move like how the gnomes were depicted in Disney’s Return to Oz in creepy claymation.

I really wanted to celebrate the 40th anniversary of my favorite Oz movie; Disney’s Return to Oz (premiered June 21, 1985).
I included Master Wix, from the cancelled book series Abadazad; and Finley and China Girl from Oz the Great and Powerful.

There is no denying that we live in a scary world, where leadership and authority is abused. It feels so easy to give up right now. I wish I knew the right words to help make it all better. All I can offer is this: Deep breath, chin up. Tomorrow is another day. I wish you the best. 🌈

I’ve been having a hard time getting back into drawing, so here’s some cute doodles from a while ago.

Yesterday was the 13th Anniversary of Gravity Falls!
For a little throwback, here's some fan art I made back in 2022 of the AU fanfic "Some Sunny Day" by anistarrose.
For context, this fanfic is based on the Same Coin Theory.
👁️🎱

#gravityfalls #billcipher #stanleypines

Art based on a scene from Chapter 10: Happy to Know.

Stan's connection to Bill is revealed.
“Face it, Sixer — you never had a twin.”
Ford reacts in shock.

Art based on a scene from Chapter 11: Trust.

A fist-shaped hole punched straight through Stan’s chest, edges of the cavity burning blue as cracks spread out all across his torso. They crept slowly and steadily further like slow-motion lightning bolts, snaking up his neck and down his arms, branching out and criss-crossing each other until it looked like a stiff breeze could break Stan apart, could easily shatter him into a thousand fragments that would be lost forever to the wind in a matter of seconds. (Written by anistarrose.)

Art based on a scene from Chapter 12: The Ancient Power.

Stan confronts his past self of Bill, while his family supports him.
"You want to know why time is so meaningless? It’s ‘cause I grew up more in sixty-two years than you did in a trillion.”

This past Sunday was Alice Liddell’s 173rd birthday (b. 4 May 1852).

I’ve always thought the visuals in Disney’s The Nutcracker and the Four Realms are utterly gorgeous, and I wanted to create something based on the aesthetics of the Four Realms.

While I have found no evidence to confirm that the filmmakers intended for Magnifico to be a criticism of Corporate Disney, considering the inclusion of the animation sweatshop scene in Pixar’s Inside Out 2, I think the probability is likely.

Later at the wish granting ceremony, CEO Magnifico announces he’s greenlit Ice Age 6 and five more live-action remakes. 💀

I was in the mood to create more creepy candy characters and made a trick-or-treat wizard, an ice cream witch, and a candy apple scarecrow.

Anyway, this is your friendly recommendation to read more banned books. #ReadBannedBooks

Able Tong @nonsensology.bsky.social · Sep 24

Also, it’s currently Banned Books Week. Here’s a (not-so) fun fact, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz has been banned at various times for a variety of silly reasons, including: being “untrue to life”, depicting women in strong leadership roles, and promoting “godless supernaturalism”.

I didn’t love Was as much as I wanted to, but I still thought it was fascinating, even if it does end bittersweetly. Also, I personally think Was is more engaging to read than Gregory Maguire’s Wicked. That said, I am still looking forward to seeing the Wicked movie. (🎶 Defying Gravity~)

I hope everyone had a great summer! I myself was busy with summer reading. I wanted to draw the boys reading Oz books; Lumpy is reading the original Wonderful Wizard of Oz, while Flippy is reading Was by Geoff Ryman.
