gravity falls bonus parallels

anyone else think about how Stan might have been drawn to dipper a bit cuz he reminded him of little ford....and while we get that ford saw alot of himself in dipper (what with both being slightly overthinking paranoid nerds who like ddnd and weird supernatural stuff and gaving a birth mark that sets them apart a bit(though fkrds was more noticeable with his hands)...and the ford projected his dynamic with stan between dipper and mabel so didn't see mabel as reliable enough to try to teach as often to.

But I keep thinking......what if ford actually was seeing STAN in dipper as well?

We know despite his denial he felt a void since he didn't fight his dad on kicking Stan out that he tried to distract himself with college and vengeance to prove he didnt need that other school and his friend fiddleford and anomalies which he couldn't quite fill and that bill had taken advantage off ford's need for a deep connection and close companion because deep down ford DID miss his best friend/bro Stan.

So....while I get Ford's desire for a companion who gets it and being drawn to the similarities dipper had with himself......but I wonder if he was also drawn to dipper cuz he was subconsciously trying to fill the Stan shaped hole by his side with another little boy who didn't have glasses because the mental image of stan he has doesn't have glasses.

A subtle reminder that who he really wants is stan even if ge's to stubborn to see it.

And while there is the obvious parallel with how ford was given a big opptunity that fit his interests that would separate him from Stan that Stan felt worried about abs accidentally messed up cuz he didn't want to lose fore a d how dipper was offered the apprentiship and mabel torn between not wanting dipper yo resent if he missed a opportunity he would enjoy but also very much not wanting to be left behind by dipper which resulted in her messing up with blenden blanden ect ect.

And how dipper chooses hjs dynamic with Mabel over staying in gravity falls and growing with Mabel and forgivness and understanding to contrast how ford hadn't fully accepted it was accident and how sorry stan was and had let that ruined oppottunity/project separate ford from stan and stay stuck on that one point.

But lowkey from another angle and a squint dipper has parallels with stan and mabel has similarities to Ford.

Because emotions can be weird....like....stan accidentally messed up the project abd was kicked out by the dad and ford didn't fight for stan to stay so at fjrst glance you can only see Stan being the one feeling abandoned.....from from firds persoectuve stan messed up hjs project despite knowing how important it was to ford...didn't try to tell him about it before hand...so ford seed it a a betrayal or stan abandoning him first cuz they can't really go against the dad.

Like....I wonder if ford had felt hurt or abandoned by stan first and like stan chose to leave him or made it so with his actions like Mabel felt at the authority figure ford bringing up leaving mabel to dipper.

And how it makes a parallel to how due to feeling alone despite being told they'd be fine without their twin.....they were taken advantage of by someone they thought they could trust in bill/blenden blanden bill.

Where both ford and mabel kind of tried to distract themselves with their interests....Ford with his interest in studies or anomalies for example.....Mabel with Mabel land....both trying to distract themselves from things going to shit outside their bubble like how ford had been in denial about bill til more affects on fiddleford were revealed....and trying to fil that void with a cooler 'better' replacement for their twin....like dipper fresh and how bill echoes askects if sfan while being smart and flattering and always able to get into ford's head.

Where both Mabel and Ford struggled for a while to listen to dipper and stan....how the bubble gets popped but Mabel and Ford both felt bad once they finally accepted how bad Bill's plans were and their hand in making that possible even if both were tricked.

But like stan....dipper didn't guve up on Mabel and chose her just as stan never gave up on ford....

Like dipper having that talk with Mabel in the court scene is chef kiss....but I weirdly felt a echo of how dipper got through to mabel in how ford reacted to stan doubling down in his actions with the final switcharoo in how it proves how much stan cares and how any niggling thoughts that stsn hurt him on purpose out if jealous or not caring enough to not be careless was fully put to rest(even if it wasn't just for ford...Stan did that to protect the twins and everyone but still).

Mabel in trying to lie to herself and her feelings that dipper fresh could be a real replacement even thoigh you KNOW that to her dipper couldn't really be replaced like hoe ford lied to himself he didn't need Stan abd living through distractions in his weird bubble.

And both ford and mabel have dated multiple fantasy creatures and a sort of semi evil friend/ex in fiddleford and Gideon who created sort of cults and semi reformed a little to give the other a piece that could help that spread the amount of people involved.

That their brothers of dipper and stan had to help them out with. Both dipper and stan were the ones who gave mabel and ford a little extra push(NO PORTAL PUN INTENDED FOR STAN BTW) get get away from the aweful ex.

I mean yet ford was obsessed with taking bill down pre falling in portal ect but dude was still protecting the journal from being burned by stan even if it would be safer to destroy than to hide it which showed he hadn't quite left the bubble of how he told himsekf he'd be fine without stan abd would be famous and scomplished and prove everyone wrong ect.

And dippers weres a hat with a icon and so does stan.....and ford and mabel both wear sweaters....I mean the obvious similarities are still Dipper and Ford with Mabel and Stan....but it's really interesting if you tried to read things the opposite way abd search for parallels the twins share with the other twin.

Just....wanted to mention some of the stan dipper parallels and ford mabel parallels.

Any extra thoughts you guts want to add just write in a reblog or a note.

Any other parallels you guys noticed?

So that new Twisted Wonderland update huh

(Spoilers for chapter 7 Scarabia stuff under the cut)

[gangles-toybox]

Not new years related but still Happy New years! Anyhow, but I did this as a bottlecap design for Visual Communications! I added some 80s references since I think Mabel land is based off of 80s aesthethics and she would generally like movie/culture from then :3

Stanley Pines knew when someone was trying to sell him a con- he was the expert on them after all. He'd been there, done that, and took over another man's life to prove it. Bill's tricks were familiar as an old friend and yet, the forces at work inside of Mabel’s bubble still shamefully tempted him.

Try as he might to cling to reality, when faced with the promise of his greatest hope he really did want to believe.

//The Pines family go into Mabel's bubble to find and save her... Each must face their deepest desires (and fears) to get back out again.// I did it! I did end up neatening this WIP up and posting chapter 1. I’m a bit rusty but I have missed writing. I hope you enjoy it. It’s all planned out from start to finish, I just have to write it! @stanuary

Me when someone is a Ford hater: I mean, yeah I understand why you feel that way. He really made a lot of awful and selfish choices. He’s such a compelling character though and has a better heart than people give him credit for, I’d really encourage you to put aside your frustration with him and try to appreciate his nuances.

Me when someone is a Mabel hater:

Quick Gravity Falls drawing since I'm still shaking off the effects of traveling yesterday.

The fact that TBoB confirmed that Mable is more mentally mature than dipper and is AWARE of that and is always trying to protect dipper is just heart breaking

Even setting aside the otter part, it's very funny that they're sending the multiverse's biggest city boy to the "whimsical rural fantasy" plane.

The real reason Ral never leaves Ravnica is that every time he does, the multiverse tries to turn his life into a Hallmark movie.

R.I.P TV 💀

Dipper: Hey guys, what do you need help with….

Stan: (exhales chaos)

Dipper: Whoa. 

Stan: Hey. Uhhh we’re actually good now, kid. We got everything calmed down.

Dipper: Okay, uh…just curious though, what was the not-so calm part that led to the violent feng shui furniture rearrangement?

Ford: Miss Wendy and I found Stanley’s secret liquor stash and she convinced me to have just a sip of whiskey and um…I might’ve gotten a little rowdy.

Stan: Uhhh a little rowdy might be a little bit of an understatement. 

Mabel: *walks in from the kitchen and gives Ford a glass of water* He was screaming like a goat and throwing couch chairs everywhere.

Ford: *takes water* Thank you, sweetheart.

Stan: But we managed to sober him down so he seems like he’s pretty good to go now.

Ford: I’m not sure what came over me, everyone. I hope nothing or nobody got hurt- Where’s the television? 

Stan: Uhhh I don’t think you wanna know, Sixer.

Hi okay yes so I'd like to circle back around to something I said in June of 2023:

"...thinking about Vecward "hates the system" Creel and the fact that the US Military is a huge shared enemy for both him and the Party. The military is after El, thinking she's the one behind all this, which the Party isn't going to stand for. Meanwhile, they're also trying to put an end to Vecward's apocalypse (while being the very people who sanctioned the abuse he suffered), which he isn't going to take kindly to. So I'm like. What do we think the chances of either an accidental or purposeful "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" situation are. Because El and Henward were allies once, and he still doesn't seem to want to kill her, even now he knows she's a threat to him (which...there's something deeper about that than we've been told, I'm certain of it). And even if it is accidental...it would still fit within that pattern of "we're different from each other, but not as different as we like to think we are". Vecward wouldn't be hesitant with the military, I'm sure. I'm also sure he won't be siding with them. That's 100% against his whole manifesto. They certainly aren't on his side, and they very much could present as big a threat to him as El [does]...they've dealt blows to the UD in the past, especially in ST2 with the controlled burns. I mean, I'd hate to see what napalm might do to the UD, if those lab torches garnered such a massive response. It would be in his best interest to eliminate the military, and fast.

Then, with this verse from the Presbyterian church coming out:

The meaning behind it:

All the Holy Trinity coding surrounding Henry, El, and the Mindflayer/Eddie's little monologue about finding lost sheep vs the whole "returning to God" thing from the church sign, and the title of 5.07:

I'm just...hm. We got the bridges. We have a unifying goal. We've got bible references.

Anyway the web is dense and I could go through each connection step by step, but I trust y'all to get the point: there's a theme of reconciliation, specifically between the characters who have heavy ties to the bible (El, Henry, so on and so forth).

If the characters want [insert problem] problem to go away, they need to stop fighting and reconcile...per the church sign, they specifically need to do so instead of relying on "normal" human means—which is, in the case of ST5's overarching conflict, the military.

Keeping my fingers crossed that Apollo hit me with his dodge ball of prophecy on this one.

My Love Mine All Mine — Mitski

[eldragon-x-moved]

[ID: A traditional artwork of Mabel Pines and Bill Cipher from Gravity Falls, colored with alcohol markers.

Mabel is cowering in the lower right of the image, inside a pink bubble with a shooting star symbol, resembling Mabel Land. The lower part of her face is covered by her arms and she has a distressed expression with her eyes closed and tearing up.

Bill looms over her in the upper left of the image. He's looking at Mabel through a semi-transparent bubble with duller colors and appendages, resembling the Nightmare Realm. His arms are reaching out and his hands hovering around Mabel Land.

The background is light blue and transitions into a dark blue star sky upwards. A pink, orange, and mint green rainbow crosses the light blue background behind Mabel Land. /end ID]
