Make sure you keep an eye out for the vigenere key hidden somewhere in this episode. ;)
MysterySeeker can u plz at least tell us what time in the video if not the key? I’m begging you
19:35
Key: MIDQUEL
Code: HANG ON TO YOUR SNOW GLOBES KIDS
Bro Please make more of this even if u don't have so many Subscribers its very cool to see such good animations.
Alice Bydinger I don’t see it.
To answer my own question, it’s on the little flags.
Every fanmade episode i've seen is so lore accurate that I just immediately accept it as canon
@@clarathefilmbreaker We did write it with the intent to fit into canon seamlessly!
This show really needed a third season to let Ford breath as a character before reintroducing chaos like weirdmageddon. I also think it would’ve been a good way to flesh out the other two journals.
Yeah that's the only problem I find with just the 2 seasons, is how Ford and the Journals weren't fleshed out more. Ford is fantastic and deserves more development.
At least we have a bunch of GF books and stuff that help with that! ❤
The cast of gravity falls nearly died multiple times cuz of overworking on the show.
Although we all would have loved a third season of this show, especially for more character development, I wouldn’t want to force it because of the burnout the cast got from it. I’m glad they were still able to work through it and still make an awesome show with only two seasons. Though I still wish there were more fan-made episodes on the internet, because we’d get to see what ideas others had. Sad that I can’t find any others besides the ones made by this guy.
Something tells me we might still get a Spinoff, but probably not a season 3! We could see more of the first two journals-despite them having been released, we could see the black light stuff and even see more hidden codes :3
@@bing_crystal4831 I hope you've discovered "Return to the Bunker" since you've written that comment
This is the most gravity falls episode ive ever seen being a fanmade episode of gravity falls
Big honor!
@@MysterySeeker are you sure you are not Alex Hirsch in disguise???
@@azmn2656Well I do wear a suspicious amount of flannel
@@MysterySeekersame😂
there is also another high quality fanmade epiosde "return to the bunker" but that one kinda ruins ford's character and has a cringe ending. this one is seriously underrated
The only inaccurate thing I find from this is that Stan doesn't trip that much. He's a boxer, it's part of his life to have good balance and footing. But overall, very impressive! 👍
To be fair he is in his 70s, he isn’t gonna be as balanced as he used to be
@@PK-Radiohe literally fought a dinosaur
And your saying he's getting weaker.No offense but that's the truth
@@PK-Radiohave you even watched scaryoke
Another inaccurate thing is that leprecorn doesn’t play Danny boy it specifically said in the journal that it plays it nonstop
I like the part of Ford explaining the spacial anomaly thing to Stanley
It actually makes sense in the show cuz the Shack is often way bigger on the inside, with entire exhibits, a show stage, and that giant mirror maze
I guess what I mean is it’s a clever way of clearing up the inconsistencies with the shack
i always thought there was a basement and thats where all the huge exhibit stuff was
@@waffler-yz3gwthat probably wouldn't make much sense cause then it would overlap with the lab
Since Gravity Falls is the center of all weirdness in the show, I always thought that Ford built the Shack using some sort of non-euclidean wood or something
I've actually always wanted to see Ford and Wendy interact on the show. So it's nice to see it happen in this.
A lot of this episode are things that we wanted to see happen with Ford in the show, but just never did (Like him meeting the townsfolk for the first time since his return, and them reacting to him)
@@MysterySeeker that made me laugh 😂
@@MysterySeeker It was really great that you guys decided to do this! I really loved that part when he went to the townsfolk lmao. And his interaction with Wendy was nice. :D I really loved this!! Great job!
Same here. I even made Roleplays about their interaction.
They did in the canon Lost Legends comic.
I audibly cakcled when Ford fell into the bottomless pit with "dangit how did I forget about this"
Is this just a new gravity falls episode?
*yes
*definitely
*absolutely
That's what I'm telling myself😂
You really nailed the Stan twins' mannerisms lol 21:12 with Ford choosing the most dramatic option while Stan goes through the hole that was literally already in the fence
I WISH that Alex would've done a Stanley and Stanford adventure episode. I know we got the comic of them as kids, but something like this would've felt so natural for the show, instead of Roadside Attraction or something. But yeah, this is fantastic! Well done! Filled a void in my heart I didn't even know I had! 💜
Disney just hates him lol
i keep forgetting roadside attraction was in season 2, what were they thinking lmao. it shouldve been a season 1 episode, then have a season 2 episode or two like this
... I liked roadside attraction...
@@zetaabsbs2329Right?!
@@zetaabsbs2329 As a Season 1 episode, yeah. It just felt strange for things to go back to normal again. Especially for Stanley, who after years of forcing himself to learn something he was never interested in just to find his brother, only to be met with spite; a more accurate next episode after Ford's arrival would've been that episode where Stan got jealous and decides to run for Mayor. Or this.
Plus, the show never really touched on Ford's character-- _especially_ Ford and Stan's relationship. It's kind of why I felt that Stan's outburst against Ford felt a little too shallow. I get that Stan's supposed to be shallow, but all his anger against Ford is justified, I just don't really think it was executed well since we don't actually get to see more of Ford and Stan.
For anyone who is wondering what the journal says:
*September 14th*
Picked up this odd plant at the store today. Its blossoms strongly resemble an eye. I took it home to study.
The plant is alive! The eye has begun to move around. Is it observing me?
*September 16th*
Ever since I picked up this plant I have begun having strange dreams of it appearing before me and repeating the phrase “Feed me, Stanford” over and over again. [What?]
Is it craving BLOOD?
It was simply asking for some water.
*September 19th*
The plant has grown considerably over the few days, the pot is getting too small. I’ll replant it outside.
*DO NOT PLANT IN OPEN SPACES*
As soon as I took it out of the pot, the plant began growing rapidly, and created a body for itself. It even started to grow minions to protect itself. Of course I acted quickly and pushed the plant into the cooler I always keep nearby. It quickly withered away, while the minions scampered off. The seed survived, going to [throw] it away.
*WEAKNESS: THE COLD; DO NOT LET IT WARM UP.*
*September 20th*
Today I woke up to the minions rummaging through my home, searching for the seed. When I approached them, they shook some leaves off their [back], which then came to life and started to dance. Very distracting. Apparently even the minions can create their own minions. I reacted quickly and burned them in my fireplace.
*September 25th*
No further incidents took place, the seed has been safely stored in the basement. Note to self: never buy flowers again, under any circumstances.
The blood part sounds like Little Shop of Horrors.
@@morganghostbusters-egonfan
Feed me Seymore!
@@billolson8766 Yeah
🤔
bottomless pit scene: *exists*
My lazy ass: *slowly dying of laughter*
17:25 ohhhh. That's the hand that smashed Ford's car when he first came to Gravity Falls. Didn't know they become friends :))
Stanford called that hand Steve🙃
I know this is 3 years old now and I'm sure someone mentioned it, but I just had to say that it was so genius to chock up the weird design of the mystery shack to 'space anomalies'. Its just such a smart way of explaining why the mystery shack's design changed so much in the original show, I can't believe I'm only finding this series now!
Finally someone who appreciates that bit of lore
@@MysterySeeker Oh wow! Didn't expect a reply, I wish you and your team all the best for this little series! If you ever get around to releasing more episodes, I'll be sure to watch. But if not, you've done an amazing job with what you've created!
@@Millie-Million Thank you very much. Yes, we're still working on the series, it's just taking us a while, but we'll get some more stuff out eventually lol
@@MysterySeeker will you make more episodes with Stan and ford?
15:31 *looks at Disney*
that was fucking beatiful
Wow
Perfect way to do a classic Gravity Falls meta moment lol
“HANG ON TO YOUR SNOW GLOBES KIDS!”
Also the codes in journal two are “not the fun, kind of weed” and “DANGER”
Ford:*sees tiny dancing leaf*
Ford: ...
Ford: EVIL
🍃🕺💃
Ford seed a dorito evil
11:38 at this moment I can't help but imagine Ford cursing in alien.
SAME!-
The fact this all seems fairly in character for them is insane, it feels like a canon episode
You have no idea how long I've waited for a Just-Stan-And-Ford episode. These two deserve their own miniseries.
The Journal page was so accurate-looking! You guys did your homework. AND great setup by showing us the context of Ford's nightmare. "Aren't you a sight for sore EYE?" But seriously, if that's the case, then Ford's life totally sucks. He's getting it from every side. I do love how you explained why he's sleeping in his lab coat...on the couch...in a super-awkward position...wow, Stanley.
Keep the awesomeness coming! I wish I could like this video more than once...
Thank you! Part of the reason why we chose to do this plot was to explore the dynamic Stan and Ford had during this time period of the show, which was unfortunately never focused on because they were kept apart. (Though I get why, it was pretty tricky to not have them talk about their issues, so we just had them interrupted whenever it was brought up).
But yeah, we tried to keep the continuity between the show, Quest for the Northwest, and also the real life journal 3 as intact as possible, so hopefully it now seems seamlessly integrated into the canon.
cool. did u see my other comment with the Google doc link?
@@musingsofahomeschooler5332 nope
docs.google.com/document/d/1g2BElBSuzCP1Bl9Wt2vmKs9MRT7jImWaqy0Eg902AAo/edit?usp=sharing
Thanks for the link. Skimmed over it, but I have to say that we already have our own story for Deep Woods planned out, and have started writing scripts for it over a year ago, so we're not really taking suggestions for it. I'm pretty proud of what we came up with, and I hope you will enjoy it too.
Couple of things though: We will stick as close to the tone of the original show as possible. We wanna do a Gravity Falls sequel, and by switching up too much, it wouldn't be the same. Some of the things you mentioned in the doc are things we wanted to do anyways, so if you notice any of those, it's not that we took your ideas without telling you, trust me.
We are gonna introduce a few new characters, but not just to mix things up, but to play into the plot. We are still mostly going to rely on those characters that people have come to know and love already. There's still a lot of stories you can tell that develop these characters, and we will try our best to do so. They will continue to learn and grow, and change over the course of Deep Woods.
Also, we included the Durland and Blubs thing because it's something Alex Hirsch would have done if he could, without the censors jumping him. We don't have censors, so if we want to be more explicit with Blubs and Durland, we would do that. Now, of course we won't do everything that Alex would have put in, to keep with the spirit of the original, but we will play it a bit looser with what we can put in. After all, the kids are growing up, only makes sense to have the show grow up with them.
17:30 this was my my favorite creature in the show despite only getting a few seconds in the actual series
I FRICKIN LOVED THE CALLBACK THIS GUY DID
I also like Steve. He is cool.
It feels like I'm actually watching a Gravity Falls episode. I love that we get to see Stan and Ford have an episode together. Great animation and storyline. You guys did this so well.
My soul still misses gravity falls
BUT DEEP WOODS IS GETTIN BETTER
But your aim is gettin better 🔥🗣️
Wendy's dad is currently having World War 2 flashbacks.
This episode was great and the jokes were funny! A wonderful focus on Stan and Ford. I also loved the moments with Wendy and Mabel that happened. Plus, this was a good way of showing what happened before "The Last Mabelcorn" in canon.
BUT HER AIM IS GETTIN' BETTER
Seriously, it's awesome that you guys are making these. Sure, they're not fully animated but who cares, that would take forever and this is still so good, they feel almost like real episodes! Truly amazing work, thank you for making these.
Has Alex seen these? Why has no one seen these? They’re amazing!
The only bad thing with these episodes are that so few whatch them
This is illegally good. The humor, voice acting and animation are just impossibly amazing! Also we really needed a Stan twins adventure in the show.
Edit: Y'all did your research, I can tell youve read the journal. Great job.
Edit: anyone else notice Pacifica's missing posters?
Love how the other “residents” of the area help out.
Ford: **Looks at the monster not even for just a whole second**
"I don't think this is even right"
Me: *_Well that escalated quickly_*
"I have to warn them, hes coming"
*_B I L L C I P H E R I S T H A T Y O U ?_*
When they were hunting the plant minions I saw how gravity falls has a way of fixing it's own weirdness.
Damn, Flamethrower Ford looks awesome.
This story between "Quest of the Northwest" the time that Dipper and Mabel spend their time with Pacifica Northwest.
This was an awesome episode! Loved the use of Stan's classic joke. XD Alex Hirsh himself could have written this.
why can't stan just buy a mini fridge for the basement or something
That's what I was thinking high five ✋
Stan is one of the biggest cheapskates ever. He charges people for the most basic things. Like 5 bucks a hat or sticker. It takes money just to enter. He forces sues to work as weird stuff all the time
And beyond that, he will ruin other attractions and vandalize them for more to go to his place. He is insanely cheap.
But he has a heart of a very nice uncle
the twins' voices are spot-ON, wow
edit: wendy and lazy susan also have really accurate voices
Are you guys sure you weren't the writers for the actual show? This is too accurate!
I'm just sayin', if the Society of the Blind Eye is worth their spit, I'm pretty sure they would have spared Gordie from having to remember the tragic events of Summerween. Even so, I love the callback joke. These episodes are nothing if not well-researched. Also, good job finally explaining how so many secret rooms fit into the Shack.
Nah, he’s still traumatized. He just can’t remember by what.
You really can't forget trauma. You can unremember it, but you can't forget. Why else would McGucket still know of Bill in Day ???
AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! ITS SOOOOO GOOD!!! ITS JUST LIKE THE ACTUAL EPISODES!!!!!!
Edit: Oh look at that! This comment was hearted by Mysteryseeker!! And its a highlighted comment now :D
of course, i gotta push the positive feedback to the top, like the master manipulator i am ;)
@@MysterySeeker LMAO
We need more Stanley and Stanford adventure^^.
Ps: They're really need spend more time for each other
15:08 *HAH!* Leaf dance!
This was worth the wait. All of you have done an incredible job. Can't wait to see what's in store next.
Job well done all of you :)
:0
Oh heyyyyy I remember you
Hello again! :D
So good. Good job to all the artists. Can't wait for more Soos lines. Love VAing him
people used to say someday they'd just make their own episodes of various things, but holy damn you actually did it.
5:54 they even got stan's secret tatoo, now that is a nice callback to dipper's guide to the unexplained
I miss Gravity Falls...
BUT MY AIM IS GETTING BETTER! (No seriously, I actually miss it though)

@@MYSTERIOUSORBSSay what now?
Me recognizing Charley immediately even though I had no idea this existed before right now. This is great.
This was so well done! I can tell a lot of effort was put into it!
My favorite parts were Kiki-Kit’s bit (just cuz I love Kiki) and the whole scene where Stan carried Ford (because it was ADORABLE and because I feel bad for Gourney)
Hah. Leaf dance. I get it.
_-(I KNOW YOU WROTE THAT CHARLEY)-_
oh that was all me ;)
@@MysterySeeker Thanks for the homage to Real-Time Fandub! (editor and VFX artist for the show)
@@evolve330 you're welcome! this script is so old that the leaf dance gag was still a fresh one at the time haha
@@MysterySeeker That makes sense, to be honest. People have mostly forgotten about -that guy- those memes by now.
So hey, I know it's kinda weird to ask in the comments, but are you looking for an audio mixer or assistant editor for the series? The audio certainly seems like it could be improved in further episodes.
So good I just can't believe it's fab made
I CANT BELIVE IM JUST FINDING THIS THIS IS FUCKING GOLDEN
Boyish DAN??? Is that YOU?
Oh, this is fantastic. The pacing could use some work (I watched it on 1.25x speed and it was much better) but the voice acting, art, use of classic Gravity Falls music? Very well done.
I wish we got an episode like this. But very well done it seems like an actual gravity falls episode
17:00 *Minecraft spider noises intensify*
Being a part of this project has been such an amazing experience and I am so amazed by how well this turned out!!! Everyone did so well!! I'm legit gonna watch this on repeat for like a week xD
No raccoons (or possums, or chipmunks) were harmed in the making of this episode.
17:33 GO STEVE!!!!!
If you don’t know who Steve is, it’s the tree giant that Ford has never really seen the face of.
Of course I know who Steve is. I am an educated man.
THIS IS SOOOOO GOOD! It needs way more attention
7:07 tbf stanley cant really be mad if ford considers him to be dumb since he failed a test that his touchers thought was mathematically imposible to fail
Omg, this is so good wtf- the voices are on point too 😂😭 the music in the background seriously ties the whole thing together too. The sound design is great, the writing is on point, and this made me so damn happy ;w;
Thanks you for keeping the best tv show alive for us well...
edit: Sorry i cant ignore this minecraft spider sound 17:00
Well, my birthday came early. To give my abridged thoughts, this has amazing quality just for the sake of what it is. And i didn't expect it to be a direct paralllel to ''Quest for the Northwest''. Kudos to everyone involved.
This episodes tie prefectly in the cannon !!!!!
This is so well done! Really felt like a lost episode pitch. Pacing and timing all around felt so natural and new ! Astounding work on everyone’s part!
0:15 that sounded like the UA-cam samonella academy
I've never seen a fan episode that's as amazing as this one. Seriously you guys have made it feel like the original
Remember to back these up
Like previous episode, quite impressive accomplishment that deserves more attentions, in my opinion. Extremely detailed for animatic as well, overall story is believable as canon with in-character dialogs, and canon musics are well used(Ex. Stanley's battle rumble moment in Mystery Shack with mutated plants). It's great to see and know about Deep Woods and what you guys have accomplished! ;)
I love this so much! It’s just like another episode in the series! Nicely done!
Did anyone notice how stan changed clothes into his suit.... Did he just find his whole outfit and change in the middle of this????? 8:12 😂 that's actually kinda funny
I really wish this was a real episode of gravity falls! I think it would have been really popular👍🏻😃
Please do another episode with stan and ford as a main character. Please!!
Is it just me or does ford get hurt a lot more than other characters. He got into a portal mess.then in Dipped and mable vs the future he ends up hurt bad. Then he get tuned solid gold in weridmaggedon.
I like your profile picture of Nerd Owl, it's adorable 💖
I think it’s tends to be more serious, so he lacks the invincibility bestowed by comedy.
Can’t wait thanks so much for this
i REALLY NEED TO CATCH UP ON FANMADE EPISODES! This is so wonderfully drawn, the script feels very much like the original shows, and I LOVE the fact that Ford was being seen for the first time in the town!!!! ITS SO GOOD
this does work as a gravity falls episode
omg they used the minecraft spider sound XD
Biblically accurate Toby impersonation 👍🏼
There really need to be more of these, I love it

Toby and lazy Susan are perfect.
They remembered the giant caterpillar from the episode with the size altering crystals!
This should be a episode!!!
5 years later and still got recommended this, this is peak
The end is connected to Last Mabel corn. The time that bill was in Ford mind.
I love the montage from 16:07 It's like Dipper and Mabel dynamic but a lot more butting heads
Oh my gosh I can already see how this ties into your other episode! This is amazing

"HANG ON TO YOUR SNOW GLOBES KIDS"
12:20
You don't understand, the whole time I was quoting that song the WHOLE TIME-
So, imagine the SCREAM I let out when Stanley said that, I freaking lost it-
Lol I love fords voice it really caught me off guard he sounds like someone from dragon ball z and how he just popped out of the floor! XD
The fact that I'm only now discovering these shames me greatly. Wonderfully done work from a group of talented and passionate people! If there's more in the future, I await eagerly!
