What makes you guys think that any part of that picture is sexual? Cant a buffed up shirtless man-pig cradle a pre-teen boy in his arms without all the sexual innuendo?

"Implied" nothing.
This is a kids show. Anything sexual is only "implied" by its very nature.

No one says that man fucks the woodpecker- and considering it's not dead in subsequent appearances, well...

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's not possible to do anything like that to a woodpecker unless that is one magical woodpecker or the dude's wood is nothing but a peck.

What if it's a woman marrying a male woodpecker?

[up] I should really look into that. Some birds have really weird dicks.

...I'm not sure what's worse, that we're discussing bird dicks, or that it's not entirely off-topic.

Is it still bestiality if it's purely romantic is the important question... Like you've all pointed out straight up sexual activity is kinda off the table.

[up]Yeah, I don't think it is bestiality, I mean I think the dude just really loves his woodpecker spouse. I mean, bestiality is sort of defined by the action, right?

[up][up]I think the fact that it's on topic may be the weirdest part. I mean in normal threads we could get away with it just being the result of a very long and very crazy derail.

[up][up]Of course it also doesn't account for the fact that the woodpecker might very well be a person who got turned into a bird or something. This is Gravity Falls after all.

[up]Oh god, you're right, for all we know the reason why it's legal to marry woodpeckers because of some incident in the past that causes mass and random transformations of people into woodpeckers! In order to stay with the ones they loves, they made a law that allowed you to be with woodpeckers.

It all makes a twisted form of Gravity falls sense!

It already makes sense. It's legal to marry woodpeckers because Gravity Falls was founded by a man who considered it reasonable to appoint 6 babies on the Supreme Court, outlawed Moon People from visiting Gravity Falls, attempted to eat the White House, gave beavers the right to vote, and was actually suffering from a concussion due to falling off a cliff when he wrote the town charter in question.

Same reason why Gideon literally holding the deed to the Mystery Shack in his hand was considered legally sufficient for him to now own the Mystery Shack, under Trembley's Finders Keepers law. Theft is legal in Gravity Falls.

EDIT: ...which explains so, so much about Stan Pines, when you think about it.

The real question is whether Trembley was entirely insane (he's obviously at least partly nuts) or if some of his bizarre laws were an Obvious Rule Patch. Maybe he was driven nuts by the area before he even became president.

[up]Yeah, now that I think about it, it makes a lot of sense for Stan to live there. tongue

[up][up] That is a good question.

He may have had a legitimate reason for outlawing Moon People from visiting. Maybe we'll see the Moon People at some point and understand why they are awful and should be shunned.

Well, Hirsch did say that if aliens ever showed up, it would be in the finale. Maybe they're responsible for the weirdness. They landed at the location of Gravity Falls in Trembley's time, drove him insane, and left an enormous magical footprint in the area. Trembley went nuts, but still had some jumbled memories of what happened. Over time, others (like the Author and Mc Gucket) began to investigate what really happened there. Stan's big basement machine might have something to do with them.

Aargh, I just remembered that woodpeckers don't have dicks… but ducks, chickens & ostriches do.

SYMBOLISM! Or, in other words, I just got the joke.

If it wasn't already obvious just from the context thereofLISTEN , Dipper's doomed crush was also foreshadowed in his symbol on Bill's wheel. Robbie being Broken Heart is obvious enough, but Dipper is Pine Tree. Wendy comes from a long line of lumberjacks. What do lumberjacks do to pine trees?
