BYEEE Multiverse Collection [Gravity Falls x Amphibia x Owl House collab]

Alex Hirsch (Gravity Falls), Dana Terrace (The Owl House), and Matt Braly (Amphibia) are teaming up with Richmond Parakhen (Studio Bad Egg) for what I assume is just a merch drop, since that's what [Studio Bad Egg](https://studiobadegg.com/) is. But it'll be nice to get some more official merch from the creators including probably some crossover stuff > On what should have been a normal September day at Studio Bad Egg HQ, chaos erupts. A glowing portal, suspiciously triangular, bursts into the studio - bringing together three separate worlds. The Pines family come face to face with Eda the Owl Lady’s entourage and The Calamity Trio. > > Its all the work of Bill Cipher - emboldened as he is by a New York Times bestseller and the Cipher Cult Collection. There’s only one answer. It’s time for every one of our animated heroes to come together - and see off that dapperly-dressed evil once and for all. > > *Gravity Falls*, *Amphibia* and *The Owl House* merge together in the *BYEEE* collection, Studio Bad Egg’s big send-off, developed in collaboration with the pop-culture-defining trio of Dana Terrace, Matt Braly, and Alex Hirsch. In this explosive merging of worlds, we say goodbye to the family of shows that have inspired us from day one. Get your hands on some exclusive, never-before-seen cult merchandise, starring some of the most iconic characters in animation, developed in partnership with their creators, with incredible concepts and ideas by Richmond Parakhen the owner of Studio Bad Egg, with designs and illustrations by the remarkably talented Kyri45! > > This Kickstarter is set to launch October 5th at 1pm PST time, make sure to click that notify button so you dont miss out! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/studiobadegg/byeee-multiverse-collection ------------ s/o [@bolverkr@masto.es](https://masto.es/@bolverkr) for [sharing this on Mastodon](https://masto.es/@bolverkr/113142669977743731), where I first saw it

WYR: Fly low or jump high

You can fly at a height of up to 6ft/2m above the ground. You can propel yourself in any direction midair, expending energy at the same rate as the corresponding running speed, but without straining any muscles (so you will be tired but not sore). You will be fully subjected to drag and will be based on air speed, not ground speed. That means you could coast along all day at 20mph/30kmh in a strong tailwind, or get thrown backwards by a strong headwind. OR You can jump up to 30ft/9m high. You will also be able to comfortably land from that height. Jumping higher will require more work from your legs, and the highest jumps will leave your legs immediately quite sore. You will have control over how high you jump. You're not gonna be immobilized, but you are gonna feel it for the rest of the day. This only benefits your vertical, your horizontal will only be affected by increased air time to travel forward at the same speed as before (you'll be moving longer, not faster).
