Today is the day. July 6th. Five years ago today, Gideon Charles Gleeful made his TV debut in the Gravity Falls episode "The Hand That Rocks the Mabel". And today is also his birthday!!

(Okay in case you missed it, today isn't his official canon birthday, but we were only ever given a timeframe of when his birthday is and the anniversary of "The Hand That Rocks the Mabel" fits perfectly within that, so I decided that June 6th is Gideon's birthday. If canon doesn't give something to you, use details to make it acceptably believable yourself.)

Ah, my bratty son. I can't believe it's been five whole years. Gideon would be fifteen today. Fifteen. Can you believe that? He would be a teenager! Oh dear. I'm getting old.

To celebrate this all-so important day, I found that Gideon montage above and I have also collected some Gideon fanart! Here we go!

This one is so simple and cute! Also, the artist made sure to remember that Gideon's cape has pink sparkles, which is a detail that a lot of people seem to forget. Pink sparkles, everyone, never forget the pink accents.

This is one of my favorite things that emerged after "A Tale of Two Stans". In the midst of all that angst and sad predications (and also little Stans fanart), someone stepped forward and said, "Wait a minute. Stan was able to tell that Gideon was a fake psychic because hIS MOM WAS A FAKE PSYCHIC" and then stuff like this was born.

PINK SPARKLES!! Let's be for real; yeah, blue, white, and black are the basics of Gideon's aesthetic, but there are definitely some pink thrown in there too. The boy likes his pink. Have you seen his dressing room??

THESE COLORS ARE SO PRETTY EEEEEEEE

I'm not exactly sure what's going on in this picture, but look at how happy he is. Awww

Okay, did you guys see that animatic of the storyboards for finale end credits? Because this one was one of my favorites of the ones that didn't get used. I SNORTED first time I saw it.

Why is he sad?? I don't know bUT I DO KNOW THAT I WANT TO GIVE HIM A BIG HUG

I love Ghosteyes

I LOVE THEIR WHOLE PRISON GANG FAMILY OKAY

(Also look at how happy Gideon is to have them there. He adores them so much oh my heart)

I agree with that mug

"Hello sparkly child" PFFT I wish we could have seen a Gideon/Ford interaction. Can you imagine?

Look at that regular ol' kid busting a move on his skatin' board.

And of course, let's take a moment to appreciate all of the AU Gideons! Look at that adorable little Vampire Gideon. HE LOOKS SO TINY

Reverse Falls Gideon is so innocent and sweaty and pure

Law of Gravity Gideon is a blessing upon all of us and he does not deserve anything that has happened to him. Someone please protect this precious child.

*casually uses this as an excuse to slide this Mabeon in*

Also, Conspiracy Falls Gideon doesn't get enough love aT ALL. Look at that face. Poor precious child just wants to help his best friend.

Happy birthday, my darling son!
