How to mass download images from the booru
If you want to get a lot of Gravity Falls fanart but want to save yourself the trouble of "right click ---> save as" x 9001, you can use something called a "Bulk Image Downloader" (or BID for short) to spare yourself a lot of the tedium. Don't be lazy, read the whole thing.

The guide I'm writing is for version 4.68 and the torrent is available here.

After you're done torrenting, open the readme text file and follow the installation instructions.

After you get your BID all set up, you can start up the program. To download images, simply put in the address bar of the website you want to download from into the "Url of image gallery" field on the BID window.

Examples:
To download the entire booru, put in "http://gravityfalls.booru.org/in...s=list&tags=all"
To download all images of the the gnomes put in "http://gravityfalls.booru.org/in...ist&tags=gnomes"
To download all images that have both gnomes and Mabel in them, put in "http://gravityfalls.booru.org/in...p;tags=gnomes+mabel"

For other things, you can simply do a search for whatever you feel like in the booru and copypaste the resulting address bar of the search results into the "url of image gallery field." Don't forget you can use the minus key to filter out unwanted material. For example, if you want to download Wendip, but just cute stuff, not smut, you can do a search for "Wendip -smut."

After you got your "url of image gallery" field filled out, press the green circle arrow button to scan for images. If you did things right, the large blank field at the bottom of the BID window should populate with the relevant images. If everything has progressed smoothly so far, press the button next to the green circle arrow, which is a picture with a square and a blue arrow pointing downward. The images will all go a "Bulk image downloader" folder in your documents by default, but you can change it by clicking on the little folder next to "Download to folder field."

After the images are done downloading, just go to the output folder and enjoy your new pictures however you please. You can share cute Pacifica pictures with 4chan, or fap to pinecest like the sick fuck you are. Have fun.

If you have any questions, or are having trouble, please post them in this thread or ask about it in the Gravity Falls General on 4chan or 8chan, I'll be happy to help you out.

Update: It seems the current BID is having trouble. The comments in the pirate's page might help, but if they don't, use this older version instead, it just takes slightly more steps to get it set up.

Follow the instructions, and once you have the older BID set up, you need to do an extra thing.

You have to go to "configuration > advance configuration > multi page galleries" and add this to list:

gravityfalls.booru\.org/index\.php\?(.*)&pid=(\d+)$

Then you can use it to download galleries normally.

Update: someone in GFG linked me to a torrent for a recent BID that should work ok, so I replaced the old link near the top of the post for the new one. If you encounter any problems, let me know.
