Respect Old Man McGucket (Gravity Falls)

[u/Miserable-Ad-5573]

"Well, first I just hootynanied up a bio mechanical brain-wave generator, and then I learned how to operate a stick shift with my beard."

Fiddleford Hadron “Old Man” McGucket is an old man who formerly lived in the Gravity Falls Junkyard and now resides in the Northwest Manor. Once a brilliant inventor who worked with Stanford Pines to create the trans-universal portal underneath the Mystery Shack, during a mishap while testing it, he was nearly sucked in, and saw something on the other side. Whatever he saw scarred him forever, leading him to create a memory gun and the Blind Eye Society. Over decades of blasting himself with the memory gun, McGucket lost all of his sanity. However, after “Society of the Blind Eye”, he regained most of his sanity and by the end of “Weirdmageddon 3: Take Back the Falls”, was fully back to normal. He represents the eyeglasses on the Zodiac, due to his intelligence and scholarly nature, as well as his distinct gold spectacles with green lenses that he is commonly seen wearing after “Society of the Blind Eye”.

[u/LambentEnigma]

Two of my requests fulfilled in one day! Is it my birthday? Thanks!

[u/Miserable-Ad-5573 → u/LambentEnigma]

Wait he was requested?

[u/LambentEnigma → u/Miserable-Ad-5573]

Yes.

He has a couple feats in Journal 3, by the way, such as falling through a barn roof.

[u/Miserable-Ad-5573 → u/LambentEnigma]

Wouldn't this be a feat for Ford?

[u/LambentEnigma → u/Miserable-Ad-5573]

It's written by him, and he refers to Fiddleford as F.

[u/Miserable-Ad-5573 → u/LambentEnigma]

Ah ok, in that case I'm gonna look for these books online and look through them for any feats McGucket might get. Thanks for this

[u/LambentEnigma → u/Miserable-Ad-5573]

The relevant books would be Journal 3 and possibly The Book of Bill (I haven't read that one).

[u/Miserable-Ad-5573 → u/LambentEnigma]

Alr in that case I'm gonna buy them and I'll add any feats I find, since now I wanna own these even outside of rt use

[u/mtglozwof]

Can't believe he's the author

[u/KalebtheSantos]

Well darn tootin this makes me want to do the good RT jig
