"everyone grieves in their own way, and throwing an insane international treasure hunt was the way I grieved for Gravity Falls" - Alex Hirsch

Alex Hirsh actually recently revealed this on a gravity falls podcast but in the treasure chest, there was a note that said "______ was here" (I forget the name) and people just assumed it was another fan or crew member who got there first. But apparently some random 14yo kid who lived in the area found it like a month before the end of the show and he posted it on an unsolved mysteries subreddit. The kid had no idea what gravity falls was, he just thought he found some random statue The crew found the post and Alex got into contact with the kid, literally called him and bribed him with $100 to take down the post and never tell anyone. The kid agreed only with the caveat that he got to have credit as the person who found it first. So he left that note in the treasure chest!

I love how much involved they were with this show, it was truly special.

The interesting thing about Dipper is that his comedic moments happen while he is the straight man of the situation. Like when he says that he says that Pacifica is to worst to her face, which makes even funnier.

This playlist is one I always binge every now and then. It’s so much fun to see people who had no idea what the show was and go through the mystery all over again. Reminds me how I was when I was a preteen getting into it. There will never be another show like this for kids.

Their reaction to Soos’ grandma explaining where her late husband is, and especially Rick’s insane laughter when from McGucket told Soos “I’LL STILL EAT YA” while Calvin complains McGucket should be locked up, are my other two favorite reaction moments.

I was one of those guys who asked you for years to react to Gravity Falls and once you finally did I was not disappointed. :)

I started watching Gravity Falls because Blind Wave was reacting to it. I had no idea what this show was about and damn....it was a hell of a ride and the crew's reactions to "Gravity Falls" are one of the best reaction series I've seen on any reaction channel. Thank you to all the people who voted for it.

It was a fantastic run. I hope we one day get some kind of follow up to it. As long as all the original creators and talent are involved.

Did anyone point out the dark note that Bipper left to Mabel about how he was gonna throw Dipper’s body off the water tower?

Gravity Falls may be over, but the writers and animators went off to shows like Amphibia and Owl House, which are similar. Not the mystery or the codes, but the vibe. And of course lots of easter eggs

The funniest part is I remember the leak. Between S1 and S2, a bunch of people got wind of all the riddles and codes and the deciphering and theory crafting went absolutely bonkers. I remember seeing the author picture and all the comments like "no way", "there's no way", "boom, that's confirmation" and the counter arguments about the "twin theory", as it was called. Such a fun couple of months.

Back when the show was airing, I never saw the cops' relationship as romantic. Even when they say & do something that's subtly romantic, I just thought they were being wholesome pals. So I don't know what the hell Disney's problem was with having two guys have arms around each other.

I find it ironic they finish the reaction in my first day of college, thank you guys for teh incredible journey through my senior year of highschool. It feels like yesterday since I watched that finale and trying to figure out the mysteries since middle school, thank you for reminding me if the good times and the kid that will always be in me!

A fitting series for the boys I can’t believe it’s over

You guys probably have the greatest Gravity Falls reaction that has ever been posted and will ever be posted on yt

In addition to what was said about Time Baby, in the short with The Mailbox, they ask it when the end of the world is and it says 3012 (1000 years after the events of the show)

This was an amazing series. I loved watching you throughout summer, a fitting season for the summer show. I loved watching you obsess and theorize while I waited for my players to show up to our Sunday D&D games. I truly don’t think, no matter how much I hope, that there will ever be a another show like Gravity Falls. Best of luck with your next series. Batman and Ben Ten look like they’re going to be great.

14:46 Editor needs a raise!

Alex: Can i make this extra dimensional being rearrange the holes in someone's face? Disney: Sure Alex: Can these two guys show affection? Also Disney: Dear god no, what is wrong with you!? Children are watching.

I'm still not ready to say goodbye. Thank you guys so, so much for taking me on a journey through my favorite show again - it was amazing to watch you unlock the mystery for the first time.

I can see that you guys really enjoyed this show because i think ive never seen yall do an entire podcast to one show. Gravity Falls will go down in history as one of the best western cartoon shows for eternity

(34:15) When I read "Not S&P approved" on Tambry's Summerween party flyer, I laughed, because I thought it was just an inside-jokey way of saying, "This party is gonna be so wild, that the stuffy censors would be shocked by it". I didn't find out about the story behind it, until I saw Alex Hirsch tell the tale of this note exchange at a con panel. Now I love the joke even more!

When I was a teen, I loved Gravity Falls and since I was into Fandom culture all the AU’s like Reverse Falls or Transcendence that sprung up from it. One of the better shows in my opinion.

I just loved watching them try to find the key every episode.

I will always love Gravity Falls, and it stays as my #1 TV show of all time.

Yeah, I remember seeing Alex's tweet and thinking "what a fun idea for the fans in the US, I wish I could be part of it" and like an hour later I find out that the first clue was found in Piter, where I was literally 2 days ago. The Universe has a sense of humor. To answer Eric's question I really like this type of podcast. It would be fun to watch something like this after the end of Attack on Titan, for example.

I did my Senior Project on Cryptography because of Gravity Falls. And boy was that tough

1:34:33 i just realized something to add onto this. In one of the shorts with the all knowing mailbox thing, one of the question asks when will the world end and it responds to 3012. So maybe time baby’s tantrum leads to the end of the world

Your journey through Gravity Falls is the reason I subscribed. It was so fun to go through it with you guys. I really loved every single video. Thank you!

That genuinely made me sad when you played the intro one last time

The Gallifrey Gals did the cyphers but then never figured out that there were keys hidden in the episodes so they were never able to figure out the cyphers after season 2 started.

Maybe you guys could try Amphibia and The Owl House next. They’re sister shows of Gravity Falls. Or maybe, Phineas and Ferb.

So glad they watched Alex talk about the show! He’s been my idol for close to a decade now

Guys there's a show that Alex Hirsch was executive director of and it's called Inside Job. It's a great show that you guys would like that's on Netflix.

I adored this podcast and would love for you guys to do something similar every time you finish a show.

Put this on watch later cus it's currently 4:06 am. But yeah hyped to see this.

I've seen some Gravity Falls Reactions, and about the ciphers most of them just look them up, i think i've seen one that was doing it offscreen but stopped cuz it were mostly jokes with nothing really important. But you guys were so fun to watch! Watching you look for the keys and cracking the codes, and how you were genuinely loving the show, it was just so cool. I was a kid when watching some Gravity Falls on tv, so i didn't participate on treasure hunts and keys and codes, i discovered all of that after, but with you're reactions i felt like i was experiencing that too. Thank you, it was the best reaction series i've watched, for anything really 😁

That Gravity Falls Point & Click game idea from Rick is perfect, I want that made. We need more great point & clicks😭

Axolotls are named after the Aztec god Xolotl, the twin of Quetzalcoatl (incidentally making him the god of twins) whose divine duty was to escort the souls of the departed safely into the realm of the dead and escorting the sun through the realm of the dead at night so that it could rise next morning. Aside from being a thanatosian twilight deity, Xolotl was also the god of monsters and deformities and was regarded as the personification of Venus, the Evening Star... Makes sense that an entity so connected with some central themes of Gravity Falls would be the top god of the setting. Also makes sense that Bill would call out to such an entity in his dying moments.

You really fell in love with the series! And I'm so glad it happened, Gravity Falls is a special series that draws everyone into it, the mystery, the humor and the characters, I'm sorry it ended so quickly but...summer is over So *welcome* you will now not be able to sleep at night because of the thoughts "Maybe there will be another season" "Wait, Bill is alive?!" "It's Bill, obviously he's alive!" "Maybe Alex Hirsch is begging for a third season!" So *congratulations* you are now officially a Gravity Falls fan

If i hadn't found you years before and became a patron, i guarantee i'd have done so through this reaction series

I just thought of a suggestion. It's getting to be fall and I wanted to recommend another "cartoon" series that's related to this time of the year. "Over the Garden Wall" It very much has the large age appeal like Gravity Falls. It has wonderful songs, stories, and characters and I think it would be a good time watching it.

I would love to see you all take on Owl House! Alex Hirsch plays a few characters + has been dating it's creator, it is influenced alot by Gravity Falls but has a more fantasy vibe. No matter what, can't wait to see what you all have planned! This has been my fav series :3

This was a great send off to a great series, my only issue is I wish someone had explained the axolotl thing to you guys because it goes a lot deeper Hopefully someone will bring it up in a future podcast

Adventure time is soooo good. The beginning is a little simplistic, but it just keeps building and building throughout the seasons, adding depth and maturity, turning into a show that’s very dear to my heart. Also, there’s a hidden snail in almost every episode… ;)

Nothing more beautiful than some adults taking a kid show as seriously as possible

I was unable to catch the stream, so glad they uploaded it and that they did watch videos about the show and the Cipher Hunt specifically! 😃😃

We'll meet again Don't know where Don't know when But i know we'll meet again some sunny day! You're leaving Gravity Falls

What I love is that when people started figuring out the Twin thing, they gave a red herring instead of completely changing course. So many shows will have a plan and then change it to make no sense when people get to close (i.e. pretty little liars), but this show stuck to the plan. Also I think the reason Mable is close but not actually annoying is because she isn't dumb, like she is extravagant and loud but she sees things too and is always willing to help people. Usually characters like her, they play off as ignorantly selfish.

Always Remember Big Henry

Dude imagine when they get to adventure time. That's gonna be a great time

I recommend The Amazing World of Gumball, it's hilarious

this was incredible, by far one of my fave reaction series on youtube. thank you! 🫶🥰

So happy you guys enjoyed the show! It was so fun watching it again through your eyes. Would love for you guys to check out the new Ducktales, as well as Over The Garden Wall around Halloween. Both shows are super wholesome and enjoyable.

"Alex you made a show for children" - random twitter user complaining about Alex Hirsch swearing in his tweets "I made a show for me" - Alex Hirsch

wish they were shown how blevin(?) the time traveler is in the background of a lot/every episode, like episode 1 he is by bushes near end when dipper and mabel are talking after fighting the gnomes

Well guys if your looking for more shows that have all the great elements you've come from Gravity Falls, I recommend you guys giving either DuckTales, Amphibia or The Owl House a good watch. Anyway before I leave, *"REALITY IS AN ILLUSION, THE UNIVERSE IS A HOLOGRAM, BYE GOLD BYYYYYE!"*

Seeing Blind Wave watching blameitonjorge makes me unreasonably happy.

this intro was so cute

Damn that intro made tear up a bit what a journey!

Duck tales when? It had a very gravity falls feel

A bit "late to the party" but I definitely enjoyed binging and watching your journey with Gravity Falls. I can't remember how many times I've had the tendency of playing this show in the background in the summer, but it's without a doubt one of the most well-written animated series I'd ever had the pleasure of experiencing. (I definitely credit my nieces and nephews for vouching the series for me back when it was running.) Although I feel like even if I put this series down for years and watch/read other things, it never loses the 'magic' it held the first time I experienced it; which is something you don't often see in other animated series from the West to such a degree. And just to ensure this series continues to remain alive in another generation, I've recently customized a Dipper Pine's Hat for my younger nephew's belated birthday recently; along with Journal 3 that I found on Amazon.

You guys are really cool

I had such a fun time watching you guys deep dive into each episode. And y’all said it; a great reveal to a mystery, doesn’t happen from nothing. There are breadcrumbs to follow, and when you finally reach the end point, you just feel satisfied and rewarded.

I totally agree with Rick’s daughter. I started watching this show solely so I could watch and understand your reactions. By the end of the series, I was in love with the show, thanks in part to you guys. Your reactions always enhance the experience for me.

Eric is right, Fringe would be so deserving of a worldwide hint hunt but I know it’s somehow still an under appreciated show. Hopefully once you start reacting to it, people start waking up to its brilliance.

1:39:50 in the game Multiverse Morty is now a playable character and one of his moves is him using a plumbus. Its a cleaning device.

I sincerely hope somewhere down the line you will also add Amphibia and The Owl House to your polls, as they were created by fellow animators of Alex Hirsch's team; who he generously assisted by voice characters in their own projects. Much like Gravity Falls they are surprisingly more than what they are marketed as (seemingly projecting to "ages 6-11"), and honestly even without the puzzles and such that Gravity Falls was known for, they really stick with you. It's just great writing in the world building, stories, but most of all the characters.

14:48 MR. DORITO

I’ve literally been a fan since the show came out, and I had no idea Dippers actual name was Mason

Really hope gravity falls comes back in some capacity some day. It had such a unique aura around it that almost makes me nostalgic for it even though I watched it with the crew. This is definitely gonna be one of those shows I’ll check in and see if there’s any news of a revival every few months just in case

14:46: Wait. Did your guys' editor make a shorter version of the "Between the Pines" video? That's hilarious! 😂

I remember watching this show when I was a little kid when it was airing. Solving all the ciphers and puzzles while everyone was figuring out the big secrets was so much fun and is now a big part of my childhood. I’m so glad 10 years later people are still enjoying this amazing show :)

ABSOLUTELY consider Amphibia. It's technically set in the same continuity as Gravity Falls and makes some huge references to it. The Owl House is as well, but that's probably less up your alley.

I hope someday you guys get the Lost Legends graphic novel! Four new stories to read. Or you could watch the excellent fan dub on KZfaq!

I'm going to recommend that you guys consider watching Over the Garden Wall with how much you loved Gravity Falls. It's super short (basically movie length) and is themed for October.

Definitely watch Adventure Time next It’s one of those “kids” cartoons that you can enjoy as an adult.

1:09:27 a very strange quote out of context

This is awesome. Gravity Falls is so good and I'm happy you guys had enjoyed watching it. Love the reactions

That intro is still 🔥

Gravity falls is such a good show and I am so happy you guys watched it. This and phineas and ferb are my favorite cartoons

I would love more series specific podcasts in the future! Also, a lot of people mention The Owl House and Amphibia, which I'm glad for, but not that many mention Infinity Train. So yeah, Infinity Train could also be good, looking for something similar, but also different. I know it works with replacement polls, and it already happened with Gravity Falls, I'm just putting the title out there, give it more chance to stick.

I'll miss looking forward to ur reactions every Saturday hahah, now onto Ben 10!

If you're looking for more western animation in a vein similar to Gravity Falls, I'd highly recommend The Owl House, Steven Universe and INFINITY TRAIN (although Infinity Train has just been removed from HBO Max because Discovery hates good television)

Please react to Film Theory’s videos on Gravity Falls

I love the idea of a gravity falls point and click game! I want to play that now.

1:33:34 Matpat Jumpscare! 📽 This was a wonderful journey revisiting my favourite show, only this time I got to watch the Blind Wave crew slowly noticing all the little ciphers and secrets!🌟

it was a great journey with you guys your reactions are awesome and im so happy you loved the show so much

I can’t believe I missed this stream and actually forgot about it until today considering that gravity falls is my favorite show, blind wave are by far my favorite reactors, and this is prolly my favorite reaction series of theirs

Amazing! My all time favourite show! Glad to see the Twitch stream released here! Really brings me back to the time they talked about Avatar Last Airbender!

I hope that one day they will react to adventure time, but I don't know if it is too long for them or if they will be interested in it for all seasons since some are very different in tone, I just hope they give it a chance

I think they should hop on the Regular Show train. I think they would enjoy the series. Anybody else agree?

Can’t wait for the owl house or amphibia next!

The treasure we got is not material it truly is the journey and the show itself

I'm pretty sure my first ever KZfaq comment was on a 'The Royal Order Of The Holy Mackerel' theory video about Dipper's real name and I ended up being right, which was well before the journal came out and actually revealed it.

3:14 "Dan Vs." is the epitome of this

Dipper and Mabel and the Curse of the Time Pirates' Treasure! either is a book of short adventures that continue the story or contains at least 1 story that continues the story.

I don't know if you guys ever saw or commented on it but i would love for you to watch adventure time

Y’all should definitely check out the owl house next
