Reblog If, No Matter The Size Of The Role, You Would Agree To Work With The Muppets If Offered The Chance

It's officially May! And with that, it's time once again for The Month of May-bel!

Like Stanuary, this month is dedicated to Mabel. And as we know, Mabel has had a pretty tumultuous relationship with the fandom in the past. While nowadays, that's more so a thing of the past, I still feel that each May we should take the time to show our favourite pig and sweater loving girl that we do care.

This year, to mark the resurgence of popularity Gravity Falls has had thanks to The Book of Bill, I figured we'd mark the month with GF books as the focus of May-bel Month. So, each week of May, we will have a different theme related to a GF book that you can partake in!

You can make fanart, write a story, cosplay, DIY, make an edit, etc. Whatever you choose, be sure to follow the theme of that week and the rules, stay SFW, and of course, have fun. Be sure to tag your post with #MonthOfMaybel2025 so that others can see it (and optionally, tag me too). You can make as many contributions a week as you please. Remember his is not a contest, it’s all for fun, so do the best you can.

With that said, here are the themes for this year!

Week 1 is about Lost Legends! Show Mabel in whatever way you want in relation to the book. Be it a story within it, an art style you like, a fanfic, etc.

Week 2, in celebration of its re-release this month on May 6th, is all about Gravity Falls' Coloring Book! So, remake or create something related to the coloring book however you please! If you don't have a copy, now you can finally buy one again and just in time for week 2, lol.

Week 3, is about Curse of the Time Pirates' Treasure; the most underrated Gravity Falls book! Just like with Lost Legends, show Mabel in whatever way you want in relation to stuff in that book.

Finally, Week 4 is all about either Journal 3 or The Book of Bill. Due to the more limited original content in both books about Mabel, this one gives you the choice of either or both. Just like the other weeks, do whatever you want, so long as it's in relation to them.

Let’s show Mabel that this fandom still very much cares for her! Week 1 starts on May 4th. Good luck :)

What if Fiddleford wasn’t the one that went mad? Part 2

AU where they pull the prank on Max but Pete warns him about the instability of the floor and pulls him off right as it collapses and they all become friends and the nerds help max and Steph pass and max and Grace are a happy couple and they all graduate together and live happily ever after

no you have to contribute to your fandom if you don't want it to die. most fandoms die because people say 'it's so sad watching the fandom die when the hype dies' without doing anything about it. I'm not saying you have to push out 100k word slow-burn fic, I'm not saying you have to make fan art or gif sets or edits or anything. I'm just saying we as a community should contribute to our fandom if we don't want it to die, and by contributing, I'm talking about giving kudos, commenting on your favorite fics, reblogging your favorite art and just talking about your favorite characters. that's enough to keep a fandom alive. that's the most effective way to keep a fandom alive in my humble opinion.

fandoms die because people stop talking about it, fandoms die because people stop engaging with fan content once the hype is gone. what I'm saying is, mainstream media's hype may be gone, but our fandom can stay alive and thriving if us as a community don't let it die.

this is me realizing I never posted the doodles I made after my second read-through of Fisherman’s Knot by Scribefindegil on Ao3 (if anyone knows their tumblr pls lmk) (I’d @ them otherwise)

Shrek the musical is one of my all time favorites in like 75% sure it's the musical that got me into musicals in the first place
