AXOLOTL

Late August, I was struck with an idea for a Gravity Falls fan project that I dubbed "i, the gold,". September 1st, I started work on it, and said project would all begin with but a fun little fan song called AXOLOTL. I posted a small piece of this song the same day I began it as a teaser to TikTok, and very unexpected to me, it garnered a lot of interest -- so I made a few more videos, a crumb here, a crumb there...
But. Taking in a long breath here. An accrued 200k views on TikTok for the teaser content alone, many insanely awesome animations and edits made to the clips of my WIP song, 37 hours spent working on the song file alone, not including the hours spent falling asleep every night to the very unrefined renditions of the song (I counted 11 total different versions!!!), 30 odd something hand-drawn animations made within a 40 hour time period and about a 36 hour long all-nighter to get this video made so it could be posted on the day of its release -- BILL IS HERE.
I was unfortunately not able to get it out by 101 PM like I had planned, but all things considered, I couldn't have been happier with this little creation. I got this puppy posted at 6 PM, Many Hours late, after hosting an exclusive showing with my roommates who all September had bore witness to my complete descent into madness, and after we all excitedly squealed, I was met with obnoxious questions regarding my wellbeing. I promptly refused to comment on their concerns, and then I demanded celebratory food. Best Subway sandwich I ever had in my life. which I don’t think is saying a lot but it was incredible.
The journey to this point was CRAZY for no reason, and making everything for this song and video definitely was the most fun and fulfilling experience of my "career" so far. I just can't believe it's done and I don't have to work on it anymore?!
All my yapping aside, please enjoy this month-long passion project. And stay tuned! There is more fun stuff like this to come :-)
If you got this far in the description, clearly you're cool -- I never do anything accidentally. Everything has meaning. Find the secrets. Live laugh love corn on the cob Bill Cipher.

FAQ:
Q: What is "i, the gold" ?
A: Without spoiling too much, "i, the gold" is a totally normal Gravity Falls fan project, and is also the name of the album that this fan song and more will be a part of. :-)
Q: Who is bumr?
A: I am bumr! Sorry if it’s a little confusing, I’ve gone by a few different online aliases over the years but sumr/bumr has always been the way I’ve referred to myself when I post songs, so in order to help lead people back to my music, I use that name to credit myself. Even if I make it seem separate from “summer bloom,” it’s still me!
WHAT I USED TO MAKE THIS:
+ MUSIC: FL Studio
+ the FL plugin ZGameEditor Visualizer for some of the fun visualizations you see near the end of the video
+ EDITING: Hitfilm Express
+ ANIMATING: Procreate Dreams
+ thisisnotawebsitedotcom.com for all the screenrecorded fun!
+ A deal with Bill Cipher

DISCLAIMER! Just in case…
I never have and I never will use ai in my art — everything I share is made by my own stubby hands. And every day I strive to embrace them. So should you.
This project is completely unaffiliated with Alex Hirsch and Disney! … Obviously! heheh. That being said, Gravity Falls belongs rightfully to Alex Hirsch. Not me! I am a fan! This is fan content! but like What would happen if I just lied here? It is mine! Give it back Alex! You owe me a LOT of money, man!!!
