OH BOY HOLY SHIT. GRAVITY FALLS. GENUINELY MY FAVORITE THING OF ALL TIME. i'm serious when i say gravity falls changed my life. it's like the most important thing in my life, it practically defines my entire personality and identity,,, it seriously means everything to me
i think everybody knows what gravity falls is. I do not need to explain this. Thank fucking GOD, because I'm terrible at explaining things
anyways. this page is a huuge wip. poorly written and definitely very hard to read. Beware!
I've always hated myself. I've always been fat, conventionally unattractive, socially awkward, weird, just all kinds of things that make me a generally uncool person. And in 2024, I hit rock bottom. Long story short: I've always deeply disliked myself, but in 2024 it was the worst. It was the point where I began to believe with my entire being that all of my flaws made me fundamentally unlovable. It was the worst year of my life yet.
When I first watched Gravity Falls, in September of 2024, my favorite character was immediately Soos. He's funny, enjoyable to watch, generally just a very charming character and super fun. But I also saw myself in him. It's weird, but he made me feel seen like no other character ever has.
I know it sounds dramatic to say Soos saved me, and I know it's weird to say Soos of all characters was the character to save me, but he genuniely did save me. He fixed a part of me that I always thought was unfixable. I've always hated myself, always thought I was a deeply flawed and unlikeable person, and it became a part of me that I thought would always be there: I thought it was just a part of life to hate myself. But luckily, it wasn't. :)
Soos is fat. He's weird. And he's not very socially adept, either. But he's never portayed negatively for those things. He's still a super fun character and a great, amazing guy. Watching Gravity Falls and seeing Soos—a character who's fat and weird like I am—still being a great and lovable character, made me realize that me being fat and weird didn't make me inherently unlovable. He became a huge comfort character for me, and always helped remind me that I was lovable and none of my "flaws" made me unworthy.
Currently, he's not really a comfort character for me, since I don't need that comfort anymore. But I'll always be grateful for how he helped me. This section was written entirely about Soos, but the whole show in general really helped me, too. It was also nice to have a fun new hyperfixation to obsess over, since part of what made my mental health worse at the time was the fact I just spent most of my time ruminating and fixating on all my negative thought patterns.
TLDR; I saw myself in Soos and he helped me realize that I'm not unlovable for being fat and weird. Gravity Falls also just generally helped me get out of a really bad period of my life.

I wish I had some really intellectual in-depth reaoning for why I love this ship. But sadly, I don't have a good reason. I just like seeing the old man and triangle kiss. Unfortunately. They hate eachother SOO fucking much they should have sex already
Nooo stopp it you guys are terrible for eachother, *i say unconvincingly, tossing another piece of popcorn in my mouth*
