On July 15, 2023, I had the once in a lifetime opportunity alongside my friend and fellow creator @hanahyperfixates to interview the creator of Gravity Falls himself; Alex Hirsch!

Be sure to watch Hana's end of the interview here:    • Interview with Alex Hirsch: Unlocking...  

In this video, you'll get to hear the questions I asked Alex and hear for the first time what he has to say on some long standing questions about the show, scrapped ideas for Lost Legends, the fate of the GF art book, lost media and more!

Few GF fans can say they met Alex Hirsch! Even fewer can say they got to interview him! This is a project months in the making and years in the planning!

This is, AN INTERVIEW WITH ALEX HIRSCH!

    BE SURE TO WATCH HANA'S PART HERE: https://youtu.be/Slg-lwF23hU I cannot thank them enough for all their help in this project. Getting to meet and talk to Alex Hirsch was a dream come true and one I will never, EVER forget. I hope you all enjoy what we've both created here and managed to ask him. Long Live Gravity Falls!!

    Alex Hirsch : "Behold the world's most distracting interview just try to look away you can't ..... I .. I don't even know what I was talking about"
  • @lasernatoo0
    The implicaton that Stan just straight-up didn't know Dipper's real name is interesting. You'd think he would know the twins and their parents well enough to have heard it at least once.
  • @Rusheman13
    GF fan: Who is the baby? Alex: So when I first thought of the show back in the 90s, I really wanted a strong theme of found family...
  • 4:45 "if you make this cut way gags their lizards brains will like the show" He fooled the producers into believing they were making another Family Guy but for kids
  • @mageoflight1637
    I really appreciate Alex's love of the characters and yet he has, in recent years, let the fandom breathe. "What's canon? Whatever the most fun for you." "Is X true? It is now!" "I'm reading way too far into this! Good for you, I hope it's fun!" and I love that energy.
  • @JozlynMoon
    GOD THE TALK ABOUT THE ART BOOK, I grieve for what it potentially coulda become😭😭
  • @Vorixian
    YES ITS FINALLY HERE "GRAVITY FALLS ITS GOOD TO BE BACK!" -Bill Cipher
  • I love how I projected this image that Alex Hirsch was this "logic and reason" guy when in reality he's the "emotion and feelings" guy and cares to have a "continuity and chronology" guy to balance it all out
  • @AJedits65
    Hearing Alex hirsch swear is crazy man
  • How to fix the Shermy dilemma. Write another journal and say that the baby is Shermy's kid and they are watching him.
  • I didnt expect the question about Bill and Ford during the portal years to be asked!!!! Ive been wondering that for so long!!! AAAAA THE FINAL ART AT THE END?? ugh im already so insane about Ford + Icarus this will make me so much worse
  • 55:59 book of Bill reference????? I'm pretty sure he knew he was making it at this point, he might mention something that completely skrews up the timeline so then hana can make a new one.
  • @misfits9294
    Personally I think Don't Dimension It was helpful because it wasn't solely Mabel's fault, but she has her own growing up to do herself that I don't think was fully shown in the show. They started it and had a bit of it in Mabel land, but I feel there should be a little more for her that basically didn't get in the show just because of time. It's not a story that puts on the blame on Mabel to me, but one that helps her mature and be aware of her own weaknesses.
  • @onecoolboy98
    If I could've asked him anything, it'd probably be about Filbrick Pines and his connections to the Royal Order of the Holy Mackerel and if they actually do worship the Axolotl.
  • @stxrstruck6755
    To hear the first question being about how Alex got Gravity Falls greenlit as a future screenwriter who is writing a career paper about it in school right now. Inspiring. I absolutely love Gravity Falls and Alex Hirsch's work so much!! Made my childhood <3
  • 25:10 "it was hard writing Tales of Two Stans because we wanted to write 1 million stories of them both" You had my interest buy now you also have my undisputed attention AND my money
  • @sodaberryfox
    7:00 mark cipher says "LOST MEDIA HUNTERSGET CRACKING ON THIS!!" 14:00 is Abtash: MABEL IS THE GLUE THAT HOLDS GRAVITY FALLS TOGETHER
  • @ObsessiveGod
    I’m glad that Alex doesn’t let the fans have a say in the make-up of the story. The story is amazing as it is. We did not need any more or any less. It is how it is. If anyone is frustrated about any part, that is on them. It was an interested video anyway. Thank you
