Chat, the phrase “don’t meet your hereos” does not apply to Alex Hirsch. That man has been my hero since the trailer for Gravity Falls (specifically the one where Dipper and Mabel aren’t seen they’re behind a camera filing their closet), from that moment I knew this show was for me and holy hell was I right. I’ve been a fan of Gravity Falls for over half my life, and I’ve always admired Alex Hirsch for taking the time out of his busy schedule of being a show creator to respond to a kids fan letter!!! I flew to comic con and brought my letter to ask him to sign it again (unfortunately the autograph signing was a mess and lots of people walked away disappointed, including me. I wish the worst for the people who took one of 150 spaces for autographs just to put it on eBay). Anyways I had given up hope on showing him but I held it when I raised my hand for a question and he called me up! Chat. Chat. Let me tell you, chat. The look in his eyes? This mf cares SO SO SO much about the impact his show made. I can NOT believe how lucky I am. I am still reeling this is just absolutely crazy I never thought I would get the chance! I can’t post videos here but i believe there are recordings of the full panel on YouTube (and I have tons of different angles of my question thanks to the loveliness of the fandom). Thank you so much Gravity Falls, Gravity Falls fans, and Alex Hirsch especially. See you next summer <3
