Well, Tooth happened. The usual twist was mind blowing but surprisingly unimpressive. I guess now I'm just used to the Gravity Falls weirdness. I dunno.
Tonight we got the revelation that Dipper plays the tuba I think it is. Ok, just because I'm into music doesn't mean I'm familiar with band instruments and orchestras. And up until now I assumed Dipper has no musical or theater arts background aside from the Lamby Lamby Dance. That now will join the list of abandoned head canons (which I'm considering a chapter for). It's also revealed Mabel's into puppet shows with a really creepy looking mascot. Not at all surprising. At her age I went through a string of short lived hobbies before settling with what I'm already passionate about. Magician, Puppet Shows, Comedian, Ventriloquist, Arts and Crafts Master, Animation, Baseball, etc. Magic didn't stick with me, puppet shows just weren't the right way for me to tell a good story, I found difficulty in writing good jokes in advanced in comparison to saying them on the fly, ventriloquism I just flat out sucked at, paint and glue hate me, I'm simply not patient enough to animate an entire video, and I hate sports. Then one day I discovered internet culture and modern technology. Before that the computer was just for playing Barbie games. The only one of my experimental hobbies that stuck with me is writing. I knew I was good at singing and at drawing, but I felt like I needed a third talent, that there was a part of me that was missing. That I needed to find. One day I came up with a few characters and started writing short stories and attempted novels about them. But I also had stories about anime characters in my head. One day I discovered fanfiction and the rest is history. I just realized I got WAAAAAAY off topic. But now you guys know a piece of my life story.
Where was I before I started blabbing? Yeah. Ok, there were those revelations of the twin's hobbies. Either these are things they truly enjoy, or Dipper and Mabel are simply experimenting the way I did. It's almost like the CMC in MLP. I'm just gonna guess Dipper decided to try out music in some attempt to woo Wendy. Clearly she seems to like musical guys. As for the tuba, I'm randomly guess either he found it in some abandoned room in the Shack, or the dump. Stan just seems too cheap to go out and buy Dipper the darn thing. Or maybe he's going under their Uncle influence and stole it from some local orchestra or something. Stan is not a good influence, ok. Just, no. I don't know what their parents were thinking by sending the twins to that guy. Alex said that they don't know him as well as they think they do, but still. Like, whaaaaat? Anyways, that's my explanation for what Dipper is doing with a tuba. Either that or it's just something he brought from home and he actually has been doing for awhile, blahblahblah. Mabel, it's really no surprise too me that she'd try out creepy puppet shows. But seriously, Bear-O is just creepy. Tonight my nightmares will not be filled with Chucky or Pinkamena. The creature has a name, and it is Bear-O *dramatic clap of thunder*. Fellow horror writers, please write your next masterpiece with Bear-O.
That out of the way, my commentary on the creature-thingy: What? You know what, it's Gravity Falls. Don't question it. At least this time in a short we got an answer that actually makes sense. I definitely had a hard time processing the little green things in Lefty. There was like, no explanation for them at all. While true this guy is lacking one as well, it somewhat makes sense for their world. So there's a giant head-slash-island in the lake that time to time floats around trying to eat people and loses it's teeth thanks to lack of dental hygiene. Slow clap for Alex Hirsch. My theory is that it's the decapitated head of a zombie giant. Doesn't explain how it floats, but this is what I'm going with until I come up with something better.
Now I wanna talk about that guy. Mcgucket Jr. is what I shall call him until theres a canon name. We can now confirm that he is in the know as well somewhat. A previous guess that I later abandoned is that the head is another robot operated by Mcgucket Sr. But with that logic, it wouldn't explain how it was shedding oversized human teeth. What I was thinking is that maybe Mcgucket Jr. was stuck in a position where he had to defend his somewhat insane father, or at least is aware of his actions in the lake. That's no longer theory though since I'm now confident that Old Man Mcgucket is not involved at least directly with the creature's existence. But that still leaves me curious about Mcgucket Jr. He clearly knows something is up. I just don't have the evidence right now to make any theories, and I'm not the biggest on totally random guessing.
And that is my review on Tooth. S'ok.
