One last treat. Ever curious about the fights I had with the censors on Gravity Falls? I probably shouldn't share this buttttt here are some REAL NOTES from DISNEY S&P and my REAL REPLIES. You are not prepared #10YearsOfGravityFalls
I have literally *thousands* of these. Each one still haunts me ImageImage
All of this…
To get 2 seconds of this
Thanks to genius mega-talent @bauzilla for performing the voice of “S&P” in this video. To answer everyone’s questions, yes these are 100% real and yes I still wake up in cold sweats thinking about them

#BookOfBill ARTIST APPRECIATION THREAD 🔥 ⃤ 👁️

I was lucky enough to work with a true MURDERERS ROW row of badasses on this book!

Scroll to peek behind the scenes at the hall of fame artists behind the nightmare! (1/?) Image
1) IAN WORREL: The Emmy-winning genius who designed the Mystery Shack & threw the #CipherHunt with me never stops pushing the envelope! He did the cover, the spread above, even our cursed B&N stand. A wizard & lifelong inspiration

The problem with anti-vaxxers isn’t that they’re stupid (though plenty are) or that they trust grainy memes more than they trust science (though they all do) it’s that they’re being lied to for profit. There’s a massive ecosystem of MAGA grifters peddling this & killing us
In 1955 EVERYONE took the polio vaccine- and ended polio. The difference? Back then there was no FOX news & social media to launder their bullshit through. These grifters will ensure COVID never ends as long as they stay rich from selling paranoia, phony cures & clickbait
They’ve created a full parallel reality. From morning to night you can spend your entire life in a bubble being spoon fed these lies which literally kill people and keep COVID alive. Deliberate misinformation is its own pandemic and we aren’t taking it nearly seriously enough

DUDE- this #Amphibia season finale is everything a great Disney Channel show should be- lovable iconic characters in high stakes, memorable, beautifully animated compelling stories that don’t talk down to their audience. I CHEERED & GASPED. Congrats to @Radrappy & team! ⚔️ 🐸 👑
Ever since Snow White & Fantasia, “Disney” has included devils & witches, betrayal, fear & death- creating drama, thrills & entertainment. What makes something “Disney” isn’t that its sanitized, it’s that it hits ALL the emotions, light & dark- in service of great storytelling
When I worked for the Disney Channel, the craziest thing in the world was having them tell me to soften & dumb things down, because anything that might raise the audiences pulse 1.5% or elicit any surprise “wasn’t Disney.” Needless to say, this GIF got a lot of use

Seems to me that in order to adapt a beloved IP like, sayyyyy, a video game, you need to start with a simple question- what do fans love about this character? What do they love about this world? What FEELING does this game give them? How can we strive to create that feeling?
This means thoughtfully and deeply mining the emotions associated with that game, favorite moments, the design, the MUSIC, the common experiences everyone has had with this game, common frustrations with the game, it’s history, learning to speak the LANGUAGE of that fan community
You do this by getting a team, and team leadership, that’s immersed in these feelings, that had strong personal love and nostalgia for that property, an intrinsic sense of what FEELS like the IP they know and love, what lived up to & what violates its promise
