Happy Valentines Day!!

Have some cute art starring my fave Gravity Falls ships

[when-gravity-has-fallen]

Background details/me blabbing about my askblog yaaay!! Mostly because it's difficult for me to get motivated as it is! Plus maybe after being inactive for 2 years (rip 💀) this will help pique interest? Idk I just wanna talk about my sillies tbh. And the Axolotl needs a break you know? My guy's watching over an entire multiverse.

First off. The post about my LGBTQIA+ headcanons here: https://www.tumblr.com/craycray-wolf/737090570384703488/while-in-wait-for-the-book-of-bill-already-hard?source=share

It's still accurate to how I feel about the characters...mostly. In the time since I made this post, I have since been converted to "Grunkle Stan is bi" and I'm now preaching the Good Word 🤟

Anyway with that now amended, here's some stuff!

I originally made the majority of the posts about where everyone is now back in 2022, when I intended to have the blog launched as part of the 10th anniversary of Gravity Falls airing.

Well clearly that didn't pan (🩷💛💙🍳) out but maybe it was so it could instead coincide with all the revelations from TBoB! Life is kinda a beautiful thing sometimes.

Anyway point being, I'll have to tweak the timeline a bit. Which is fine because I wanted Dippin Dots and Mabes to hold some jobs before college anyway so really my lack of updating is just an excuse for this. That's the major point I could think of but if I didn't properly consider others please sound off 📣 (yes I'm a cringe emoji user AND I'M PROUD)

Soos and Melody are still attempting to conceive because they want at least one bio child if they can but they're working on adoption.

Many assume Gus Burnside to be missing or worse dead. But maybe... he's still out there somewhere...with his physical body fulfilling a deal. But y'know! No one can say for certain!

To be completely honest I'm still figuring out my interpretation of Bill's backstory. Sorry about that.

Though the reason the Axolotl has contacted our dimension to begin with has to do with his concern...about a certain someone. And who better to give a helping hand than the fandom and the Zodiac?

Since Stan taught Wendy how to hot wire vehicles and whatnot, they one day found a fairly intact Harley motorcycle in the dump. They fix it up together and Stan declares it hers. This is where her Harley previously mentioned in other posts comes from.

When did this happen? I've always assumed the Stans come back to land from time to time, including some summers. So likely during summer but a holiday could work too!

Mabel loves being a passenger. Dipper not so much unless he clings tight. Wendy installs a seat back at some point and this helps ease his anxiety. A little. He likes seeing the scenery though so he'll bare through it if asked to ride. Not to mention he cares for Wendy and thus doesn't want to deny her sharing her joy.

Robbie probably figured out he wanted to be an anime artist while doodling in college classes he wasn't paying attention to. Either he was in generals or some other degree at this point. He only drew in private during high school.

THIS NEXT SECTION WILL BE SHIPS 🚨 YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

Pacifica during her high school/diner years thought she like liked Dipper. And well, she was Dipper's rebound crush so at around 15 or so they dated for a while. Pacifica however eventually realizes she's actually a lesbian and was misinterpreting her care for Dippin Dots, as well as thinking she only had so many options initially. Dipper realizes it was to cope with Wendy.

Therefore they cut off romantic ties on good terms and continue to be good friends.

(I have nothing against Dipcifica, it's cute. I'm just personally a Mabcifica person and enjoy my lesbian Pacifica hc)

In their early college years Mabel and Pacifica become girlfriends, LET'S GOOOOOO

Candy and Dipper have began to catch each other's eyes... they've healed from the events of Roadside Attraction in the years since and now they can have a healthier relationship in several ways. I WILL DIE FOR THIS SHIP OKAY

Fiddleford and Ford are sweet old man boyfriends. Though romance baffles Ford it makes enough sense with Fiddleford.

Stan is Stan. Though maybe all of his family coming out awakes something in him... something new to explore about himself...

Past Billford will likely be discussed at some point, though they haven't been a thing for decades and it was toxic to begin with.

Grenda and Marius are of course married ❤️ Candy, Mabel, and Pacifica were her bridesmaids. Mabel and Candy were piling over each other trying to get the bouquet, though Wendy catches it. Uninterested in marriage she throws it back out and reflexively Dipper catches it. After confused for a solid moment he tosses it and finally Pacifica then catches it.

SHIP SECTION FINISHED ⚠️

The Pines Twins revisit Gravity Falls every summer until their high school graduation. Well *maybe* they go one more after graduation but then they have job schedules to contend with.

One of those summers (probably when the Mystery Twins are 15) their parents surprise them with a visit! But then they start to question everything because y'know. Weird town.

Eventually the truth comes out about everything, and they better understand their kids.

It wasn't the easiest summer but an important one.

They let their children return because they know how dearly they love their time there, albeit with ground rules established.

As for their jobs, Mabel was a barista and Dipper restocked shelves at a grocery store.

Dipper now has come to care for his birth name and birthmark. He still likes going by Dipper but he insists that only those close with him use the name. The only reason he still wears bangs is that his hairstyle is just comfortable and familiar. This also keeps his birthmark special as only some get to see it (in full).

Mabel still loves knitting and sweaters, but she's experimented a lot with fashion throughout the years. She now has more variety in her wardrobe than sweaters and skirts.

The twins live in dorms with a couple roommates and return back to their childhood home during holidays and summer. They intend to live in Gravity Falls once they get all their education/credentials.

Waddles is an old man but still kickin'. The parents were initially upset with his presence but were convinced by Stan to begrudgingly keep him. They grew to care for the piggy as well.

The family cat (Sniffles) has since passed :(

They have a dog (Honey) now though! She was a puppy from a dog Dipper once dogsat. The owners didn't realize said dog was preggo. It was a whole thing. Anyway Mabel loves putting her in cute outfits that match Waddles, something she used to do with Sniffles.

Mabel is a k-pop multistan (originating from Candy and Grenda introducing it to her) and absolutely loves drinking boba/jelly milk tea. Dipper likes the sound of k-pop music but isn't a fan the same way his sister is. He likes milk tea but the boba pearls themselves freak him the heck out.

There's a lot more but I'm blanking 🤪

[hkthatgffan]

Would you agree that Candy/Dipper is an underrated GF ship?

Oh 100%. You just don't see any candip art anymore out there. It's sad tbh how it all but died after Roadside Attraction.

There was fanart for it prior but then it all dried up after.

[car9723-t]

Suggestion: If Candip wasn't shot down by Roadside Attraction, how would the fanbase be like?

I remember a personal speculation or two that if it wasn't canonically killed off, it may have been like Mabcifica or something? I personally think it may have remained as a small niche, but survived a bit longer? Interactions between them are extremely rare in comparison with Wendy or Pacifica, which still wouldn't help, but some people still found they both have some things in common. Not killing it off may have opened a slightly bit more breathing room to discuss it.

Share your opinions and speculations freely!

[candip-soul]

Dipper: On the count of three, what's your favorite cake? One, two, three-

Dipper and Candy, in unison: Chocolate cake peanut butter frosting with chocolate chunks!

Mabel: Our turn, Pacifica! One, two, three- vanilla!

Pacifica, deadpan: I've never had cake, what is cake.

[quadrupletsau]

Camera turns on and we see Evelyn and Albert standing in the living room. Albert holds the camera.

Evelyn and Albert : Good day, everyone!

Evelyn : We're sorry for disappearing for so long, but something's came up and we lost the touch with this blog.

Albert : But we're here today with a special occasion, as today you'll see what would happen if our children- (whispers) say hello, kids

Albert turns camera to the quadruplets, who all smile and wave into the camera.

Quads : Hello!

Albert : -Brought home a date! This will be interesting for sure.

Evelyn : Happy Valentine's day, everyone!

Ford's boyfriend

Ford : Family, this is Fiddleford H. McGucket-

His siblings scream and cheer

Dipper : Woo! You go, Ford!

Stan : Darn it, FINALLY! I thought its never get anyone, Sixer!

Mabel : I'M CALLING THE BRIDESMAIDS! Or is it groomsmaids..?

Evelyn : I'M NOT GONNA BE A YOUNG GRANDMA! (Also, good for you, honey, I love you no matter what)

Albert, laughing : Hon, we have three other kids to get through. (I like you, kid. Don't make me regret that decision.)

Stan's girlfriend/boyfriend

Stan : Guys, this is-

Ford : NO!

Stan's partner : Wow. That was fast.

Dipper : I thought it'd be longer. He's worse than Mabel!

Mabel and Stan : HEY!

Albert : Well... can't say I approve... but let's see, where it takes us.

Evelyn, nodding : Yes. Let's see.

Mabel's girlfriend

Mabel : Pines, meet my second half, Pacifica Northwest.

Pacifica, smiles, waving to the family : Hello, everyone.

Ford : NO. Mabel. No.

Dipper : A girl? Now that's new...

Stan : I thought you hated each other?

Albert : Is that girl from the stuck-up family?

Evelyn, holding hands together : Oh my gosh... they're like Lady and the tramp... so cute..!

Dipper's girlfriend

Dipper : Candy, you already know my siblings, and this is my parents.

Ford : N-... ugh... fine. (But don't you dare break my baby brother's heart. I won't care you're Mabel's best friend.)

Stan : Finally... you two together too.

Mabel, squealing : My best friend... and my brother... together... THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE!

Evelyn : So... you're Candy, Mabel keeps talking about huh? It's nice to finally meet you.

Albert : You're actually pretty cute. Are you from Korea, right?

[bumpscosity]

Actually all gravity falls shipping wars in back when the show was airing were hilarious. i once saw two ppl arguing abt wether pinecest or stancest was better like guys i think its better if we just throw both of you into the bottomless pit forever

[jenneyquinn]

so apparently roadside attraction is 9 years old today

my forever love-hate episode for gf 😭

okay, like i get a lot of people didn’t like the episode either because they shipped dipper with either candy or pacifica (or, like dipper, was still not over wendy LMAO)

but i think the episode was kinda ambitious because even though it made sense that dipper needed some more confidence and rebound before really moving on, i think we can agree that it was too much for one episode, right?

i mean, i’m not a candip shipper but like i feel bad because you can’t even really say it’s a candip episode (even when you can tell it was supposed to be one) if dipper was gonna be a fboy the whole time (and even hurt candy’s feelings on top of that)

if anything, summerween was a better episode for candip shippers because of that one moment when candy is clinging onto dipper in fear (ONE MOMENT BTW)

for me, it wasn’t “oh pacifica should’ve been in the episode instead of all the girls” or “they should’ve focused more on candy” but more like, if we were meant to get candip content, it could’ve been done better than “dipper’s trying to get over wendy and uses a bunch of girls—including candy—to do so”

my guess is that they didn’t want to use pacifica and make another dipcifica episode was because a) they already had a dipcifica episode, b) it would’ve been a dipper version of ‘soos and the real girl’, and c) i could be wrong about this, but alex never really confirmed dipcifica to be endgame 😶 it just happened to get a lot of traction and is basically milking us every chance he can get because he’s ALEX 😭

it’s just kinda sad because even though this episode was good-intended [for dipper], candip shippers deserved more than to have candy share the spotlight with a bunch of girls who only show up for that single episode (and have her feelings misled due to someone getting over a past crush PLUS their insecurity)

all in all, the dipper rebound episode absolutely did NOT deserve to be squashed in with candip

[kaiynite]

Ok for Gravity Falls ships: wendip, dipcifica, mabcifica, fiddauthor, fiddlestan, candip

Ok for wendip I did two templates bc I have very strong feelings abt it and the og one didn’t have the words lol

Dipcifica:

Mabecifica:

Fiddauthor

Fiddlestan

Candip

GRAVITY FALLS FANDOM IS BACK

it actually never completely died, it was pretty inactive tho. now thanks to alex hirsch it's back and so happy about it!! that show was a huge part of my preteens and early teens. back in the day i related so much with dipper (probably because it reminded of me and my twin's dinamic). nowadays thanks to a rewatch i understood how much i feel mabel too. honestly i dont even get the hate she went through. lets be real, the real "selfish" sibling was dipper. he was obsessed with wendy and he would have done anything to hang out with her, even time travelling. at the end of the day we are talking about two 12 years old children, they are obviously not perfect and that's okay. im 19 now, im too old to be pissed off. in fact im rewatching the series with a smile on my face all the time. i need to admit it's weird to feel more soos now, im closer to his age than dipper or even wendy.

oh, anyway if they are gonna make a season 3 i demand that dipcifica is 100% canon! (fck dipbill, wendip and candip)

i have mixed feelings for billford... i mean bill is literally a demon

as a twin i love the way alex portrayed mabel's and dipper's personalities (stan's and ford's too) . i hate when authors show creepy identical twins or completely different twins. twins are somehow similar in personality department because they live in the same house, you know just like normal siblings... at the same time they don't read each other mind, they are humans (and alex knows it well, he is literally a twin too)

[cosmicriff]

I should make a rewrite of roadside attraction

It’s kinda already been hinted that Pacifica is being set up to be Dippers new love interest. If there HAD to be ANOTHER Dipper getting over Wendy episode it should be about fleshing their dynamic out more and maybe further redeeming Pacifica

It just feels like a way to kill CanDip which…didn’t really need to happen?

[hubbabubbagumpop]

So yeah I think these two would make a cute nerdy-couple

That is all

[mymanyfandomramblings]

Hello, do you take questions from ask game you just rebloged? I'd like to suggest...

"One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon"

...with Wendy or Candy. You can choose Melody or Pacifica instead.

Since you only picked one question, I can very easily do four characters. Let's go:

For Wendy--I do think a look at her home life would have been nice.

Candy--Maybe foreshadowing her crush on Dipper a little more. I'm not really a Candip shipper, but I do like the idea of her having a crush on him.

Melody: I wished she'd been in more than one episode. Just...more Melody would have been good.

Pacifica: Maybe a cut in the finale when Dipper's giving the end narration to show her befriending the townspeople. Also, I feel personally robbed by the lack of Pacifica-Gideon interaction, and I wish there'd been more.

ask game ? 👛♟️🌸♠️

Hi thanks for the ask <3

👛 - favorite rare pair

Ooh for Gravity Falls that would probably be either Candip or Mabifica. For DC, I'd say probably Steph Brown/Cassie Sandsmark or Cassie/Cissie King Jones (idk if they have a ship name)

♟️ - a character you feel is overrated?

Oof this one's hard, because most characters in the media I watch/read are actually pretty decent. For GF I'm going to poke the bear and say Bill, because while he's a cool villain, I do think he's a bit oversaturated, at least in fandom. For DC I'll say Shazam (sorry billy stans)

🌸 - a ship others dislike but you don't?

With Gravity Falls, people seem to hate on BillFord a lot bc it's abusive, but I think if handled correctly, it's a really interesting exploration of a toxic dynamic. For DC though... Timber (timbern? Tim Drake/Bernard Dowd? idk which name is correct). Honestly, like, it's a little bland and underdeveloped, and yeah, maybe nobody's cloning anyone to bring them back from the dead, but I've seen some fun fics for them

♠️ - favorite protagonist?

For Gravity Falls, it's Mabel, hands down. I love her. Light of my life Mabel Pines you will always be famous. For DC, it's Tim Drake, but I need to acknowledge the fact that I love him because he's an unhinged asshole that thinks he's the only sane person in the room at any given time and I think that's really funny

[fereality-indy]

Can you do Another Gravity Falls Ships?(OTP/Loved, Liked, I'm Fine with that, Neutral, Dislike, NOTP/Hated, Underrated, Overrated and BROTP)

OTP/Loved - Wendip obviously, Wendipbry for the Trio, Mabcifica

Liked - Tapper (only fitting since I think I'm the one who came up with the name), Soelody, Blurland, Grenda/Marius, Mabel/Pacifica/Candy

I'm Fine With That - Stan/Eda, Ford/Lillith, Cancifica, Canbel, Canda, Candy/Kevin, Tambry/Thompson, Thompson/BeeblyBoop's Videogames cashier (one of my own)

Neutral - Candip, Nate/Lee, Ford/Fiddleford, Dipcifica, Mabel/Mermando

Dislike - Stan/Lazy Susan, Mabel/Gideon, Mabel/Her summer crushes

NOTP/Hated - Robbie/Wendy, Robbie/Mabel, Robbie/Tambry, Robbie/Dipper, Bill/Anybody, Preston/Priscilla

Underrated - Wendip

Overrated - Dipcifica, Bill/Anybody

[candip-soul]

Candy is one of the few people Dipper allows to brush and touch his hair and he makes sure it's long enough for her to do tiny styles in
