This Got Me Laughing Like I Just Saw Two Identical Rocks In The Dessert

Why Gompers the goat is one of the most underrated characters in Gravity Falls

Despite being in over 20 episodes, getting multiple Journal 3 mentions, having dialogue directly referring to him, kicking off the plot of several episodes, including Weirdmageddon, he is barely mentioned by the fandom.

The majority of Gompers focus from the fandom has been being the subject of theories trying to connect him to Bill Cipher, due to the similarities in their eye design. While not confirmed to be connected to Bill Cipher, it is stated in the Book of Bill that goat pupils do not change when he possesses them, possibly as a reference to the theory.

Although any connection to Bill Cipher is only speculation, he is supernatural in his own right.

Gompers first came to Mystery Shack when a man attempted to pay for a tour with a baby goat. Based on Stan’s love of money, it can be presumed that he denied the offer. However the goat stayed, as confirmed by Alex Hirsch. By July 13th 2000, as seen in season 2 episode 8, “Blendins’s Game”, Gompers lives at the Mystery Shack.

In the present day Gompers is mostly a background character, only occasionally interacting with the main cast.

In season 1 episode 18, “Boyz Crazy” Gompers makes his first contribution to the plot. He chews off Ergman Bratsman’s license plate, getting him arrested and starting the conflict of the episode.

His second and more serious contribution to the plot is in season 2 episode 13, “Dungeons, Dungeons, and More Dungeons” when he attempts to eat Dipper’s 38 sided die. Dipper tries to get him to stop, causing him to fall through the roof of Ford’s lab. This begins the plot of the episode where in Ford and Dipper bond, allowing Ford to trust Dipper enough to help him repair the rift, leading to the beginning of Weirdmageddon.

All of this already makes Gompers an interesting character, but there may be even more to him than meets the eye. When asked about his opinion on Gompers, the official Bill Cipher Reddit account repiled “I LIKE HIM BETTER THIS WAY” implying he wasn’t always like this. In Journal 3 there’s a coded message on the page after “The Carny” page. After decoding the message it says “NEVER TRUST A WITCH SHELL CURSE YOUR EAR AND TURN YOU INTO AN IMMORTAL GOAT SO I HEAR” despite this not directly referring to Gompers, as the only goat in Gravity Falls we can assume that he was cursed, and turned into an immortal goat.

Maybe we’ll learn more about this mysterious goat, or perhaps he will remain one of Gravity Fall’s unsolved mysteries.

Bro I was freaking out on the floor when I first read it

Wanted to draw that scene from The Book of Bill :D

First ever time drawing Stanford. Looks like he’s on drugs, which he probably is

Oh my goodness

Go nuts!

Minabillism

I’m watching JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure for the first time and I feel like the scene where Speedwagon cures Zeppeli’s frostbite needs to be talked about more. Because I’m pretty sure his jacket or arm to arm contact would have sufficed, but instead Speewagon goes straight for the abs. And it may be my yaoi rotted brain but I think there’s something not 100% platonic going on.

I squealed like an ugly bird

cringefail old men @handymanbill

I fucking love these memes

I do not control the speed at which birds die!

Did a bit of a vibe overhaul on my blog, nothing else. Thanks for listening ♡
