The Love God is a cherub, capable of making people fall in love via a variety of love potions. Since the Internet seems to do his job for him nowadays, he has taken on a second career as a musician.
History[]
In his eponymous episode, the Love God comes to Gravity Falls to play in the Woodstick festival. He arrives at Greasy's Diner, showing off his matchmaking abilities to the patrons. After a brief talk, Mabel steals a love potion from him in order to play the role of a matchmaker for Robbie and Tambry.
When Mabel later goes to his van to retrieve the antidote along with Dipper, the Love God catches them in the act and goes after the twins, who are trying to escape with it. The Love God then chases after Dipper and Mabel until he conjures up the "Visions of Heartbreak Past" to convince Mabel to give him the antidote. This succeeds, but the Love God is then hit by Stan and Soos' hot air balloon. He survives, but gives the antidote back to Mabel, angrily telling her to meddle in other peoples' lives all she wants. He then stumbles away, calling for a medic.
Personality[]
He loves to spread love and takes his job rather seriously, such as when he tells Mabel that love is not something to fool around with because she was eager for one of his love potions. He also enjoys eating sandwiches, throwing concerts and partying. He is also shown to be somewhat oafish and clumsy.
Appearance[]
The Love God physically resembles an overweight human male. He has several tattoos, small wings, and a belt made of rope around his waist that holds his love potions. He wears a grey, horizontal-striped tank top, blue cut-off shorts, flip-flops, and pink straps running under his arms. He also wears a brown cuff on his right wrist and a necklace with both male and female gender symbols.

Trivia[]
- He could be considered an anti-villain, as he only becomes an antagonist when trying to stop Mabel from using his potions irresponsibly, but he is overall a positive force who makes others happy through matchmaking.
- According to Michael Rianda, he was the inspiration for Love God. Given he was described as being an "exuberant, slurry, possibly drunk, positivity-monster," Mike got heavily drunk prior to auditioning for the role. He didn't get the part however.[3]
- He was supposed to wear a LGBTQ+ symbol instead of his interlinking male and female sign necklace, but Disney didn't allow it.
