BACKSTORY {

• Stanford Pines, a brilliant inventor from a working-class New Jersey family, had his dreams derailed after a falling-out with his twin brother, Stanley. He rebuilt his path at Backupsmore University, where he met the eccentric genius Fiddleford McGucket. Their bond ran deep enough that Stanford had invited Fiddleford to join him at Gravity Falls, Oregon. Together, they built a secret lab and constructed an interdimensional portal, unaware that Stanford was being manipulated by Bill Cipher, a charming yet malevolent interdimensional demon from a destroyed dimension who saw the town as his next playground.
• Fiddleford grew wary of Bill, but Stanford's obsession with the portal pushed the project forward until a near-fatal accident changed everything. Though Stanford expected Fiddleford to leave, he stayed—haunted and silent about what he'd seen. Bill, frustrated and emotionally compromised, lashed out by possessing Stanford in an attempt to drive Fiddleford away. But instead of disaster, the incident sparked a strange revelation. What followed was an unconventional polyamorous bond; one forged from genius, guilt, and chaotic affection. Stanford, ever logical, struggled to understand it; Fiddleford, steady and warm, held them together; and Bill, once bent on destruction, found himself disturbingly entangled in something almost human.}
