Dammit guys I just thought of this amazing animation music video for Gravity Falls with the song Warriors by Imagine Dragons.
Bear with me here.
At first you see Mabel and the others goofing off, but then cut to Dipper at a desk or on his bed with the book. Or maybe even see him try to show Mabel the book, but she shrugs him off. (As a child you would wait and watch from far away but you always knew that you’d be the one to work while they all play)
Then you see him up all night, frantically trying to figure things out, with the book on Bill’s page. (In youth you’d lay all night awake and scheme of all the things that you would change)
And then it happens. The shack starts to shake. (But it was just a dream)Everything turns red as he runs outside with the others in tow, just to find Bill, larger than ever, floating in front of the shack, red, with maybe some fire going on behind him.
(Here we are. Don’t turn away now.) Bill is blasting around them, everyone is scared, Grunkle Stan gets a minor blast that knocks him down, Dipper is trying to figure out what to do. (We are the warriors that built this town) Using the book he calls forth a sword, and uses an incantation to turn it blue. (Here we are. Don’t turn away now.) He slashes at Bill, who is clearly amused by all of this. Bill creates a blue flame of his own and sets his sight past Dipper- on Mabel. (We are the warriors that built this town from dust)
Dipper can see what he’s about to do, and runs for Mabel as Bill shoots at her. He jumps in front, sacrificing himself for his sister. (The time will come when you will have to rise above the best and prove yourself your spirit never dies)
He falls, and you can see his spirit depart and ascent above the clouds. Mabel drops beside the body, mouth open in a silent scream. (Farewell, I’ve gone to take my throne above, but don’t weep for me because this will be the labor of my love)
Optional: When he gets to the clouds he sees and makes eye contact with Stanley, who nods in sympathy, and they go stand by each other
(Here we are. Don’t turn away now.) We see a tear slide down Mabel’s cheek, panning to Dipper’s body, still clutching the sword. Mabel’s hand is on his own. (We are the warriors that built this town)The scene cuts to all around them from Mabel’s point of view over to Grunkle Stan leaning on his side, but still down and also in silent scream/shouts over Dipper’s death. (Here we are. Don’t turn away now.) Over to Soos and Wendy crying/scared/freaking out. (We are the warriors that built this town.) And then to Bill, who’s laughing at Dipper’s fate.
Mabel grips the sword. (From Dust.)
During the instrumental we see Mabel reading the book, using the incantation that Dipper did, as well as seeing Bill starting to notice her. She’s getting a blue aura from the sword to swirling around her, building with each second, gaining power from the pain and anger.
(Here we are. Don’t turn away now.) She rises into the air, Bill looks really worried. (WE) Boom. The blue aura/power erupts from the sword straight at Bill, who’s scared, maybe screaming, at this point. (ARE THE WARRIORS THAT BUILD THIS TOWN.) You can see it, almost slow-mo, go and hit him. (HERE WE ARE. DON’T TURN AWAY NOW.) (WE ARE THE WARRIORS THAT BUILD THIS TOWN) The blue engulfs him, overpowering and killing him. You see Mabel drop down, back beside Dipper, but still standing. (FROM DUST.)
At this outro instrumental you see it bounce from her collecting herself and Dipper from above looking proud. At the last second, she raises her sword in victory, her brother avenged.
I really wish this would happen.
