Okay so something I have not seem anyone talking about that I am just now kinda realising..

Does Tate think Stanley is who Fiddleford left their family for?

Tate moved to Gravity Falls at some point in adulthood (this would be after Stanley assumes Ford's identity) to keep an eye on Fiddleford in his unwell state. So does Tate see Stanley (who advertises himself as Ford!) and the mystery shack, and have to think, "This is what it was for? This is who my dad left me for? This was more important?" every time?

And like, as much as we all love Stan we know he did not exactly treat Fiddleford kindly, he literally ran the man over with his car and treated him like a vermin to be rid of. So Tate also has to witness that with the idea that Stan is the man Fiddleford abandoned their family to persue! Tate already had a skewed perception of Fiddleford, but I think moving to Gravity Falls and seeing Stan and the way Stan treats Fiddleford, only made that worse. Because that man is his father, and he clearly has no self respect if this is what he chose to reduce himself to just for that guy, right? I think this just kinda adds another layer to how pathetic Tate thinks Fiddleford is, and I think that's really sad.

You know what would be funny?

If Pacifica unintentionally became somewhat friends with Fiddleford.

Like at first he's just known as the hobo she had to hold hands with during the whole Bill fiasco. And then he becomes the guy who bought her parents house. And Pacifica not even thinking about would sometimes walk by her old house because it was her home originally for 12 years. And Fiddleford he'd notice her stopping by and looking at the home from time to time and then one day he's outside and he sees her walking towards the gate.

Fidds doesn't hesitate to call out to her, startling her and Pacifica sees him and she gives him a look that's supposed to be unwelcoming but it's hard to take her seriously when she's blushing from being embarrassed at having been startled. She'll huff and stick her nose up in the air and dramatically storm off in an effort to save face and as she's walking away Fiddleford calls out-

"Stop by again sometime Pacifica!"

And she stops, whirls around and snaps-

"As if old man!"

But despite her saying that, Fidds once again finds her coming back around. And he humors her, getting reactions out of her and finding her amusing instead of intolerable. This continues on and then before Pacifica and Fiddleford realize it, he's invited her inside and they continue their strange friendship. Fiddleford learns that Pacifica's pretty smart and kind despite her snarky and uppity attitude. She just hides it beneath a mask of "I'm better than everyone."

And Pacifica learns that Fiddleford isn't just the crazy town weirdo. Instead he's a genius and to her surprise, beneath his somewhat timid, polite, nature he's got a dry sense of humor and hidden snark under the surface. He's also incredibly sharp and keeps it up his sleeve as his ace.

They bond over the snark and jabs, and they teach each other things without realizing it and for awhile it's this tentative thing till one day Pacifica shows up on Fiddleford's doorstep. Looking miserable and red eyed and Fidds he doesn't hesitate to bring her inside, his dad alarms kicking in much like how they do with Tate. He doesn't say anything, and she doesn't explain it. But an unspoken barrier has been crossed and neither of them mind. They don't knowledge it, mainly for Pacifica and her refusing to do so.

But Fidds doesn't mind it. In a way she reminds him of his son, with the way she handles things. Pacifica would tell him in her own time, and Fiddleford was more than patient with her taking her time.

Afterwards they're basically in a strange mentor/mentee/paternal/unspoken adopted daughter kind of deal.

[slightlyartist]

HIHIII!!! i just want 2 say i love ur tatexbackle art SO MUCH do u have any headcannons for them?*I LOVE THEM SO MUCH I STRIVE OFF OF CONTENT OF THEM, also im a sucker for tate media)

HEWWO! I'm SO HAPPY people want to know more about Tackle, so I stayed up until 5am writing these. Enjoy!

Backle was born in Australia but moved to Florida in his late teens.

He is a few years younger than Tate (Let's say if Tate is 35 then he is 33) (Was born in ~1980, the Gravity Falls Timeline is a mess don't make me do the maths)

His fave movie is Nemo, he was already in his 20s when the movie came out but he was SEATED. Loved the Barracuda cameo (one of his favorite fish). His Shark obsession got worse. Watched it while he was in Florida and made him miss Australia.

He has a picture of Steve Irwin in his wallet.

Tate doesn't like having his picture taken but Backle convinced him to take one selfie together. He keeps it next to the Steve Irwin picture.

Very active, also loves hiking! Loves collecting little trinkets along the way and puts them around the shop. Tate doesn't like that habit but Backle insists it's "decoration".

Backle isn't a very crafty man but he made some fishing line bracelets for him and Tate. They kept on breaking so Tate built some fishing line rings, Backle keeps his on a necklace and Tate sometimes fidges with his own when he gets nervous or overthinks.

Backle never made fun of Old Man McGucket, even before Tate confessed that he was his father. Florida made him immune to any type of "crazyness" and he understands that some people are unlucky and that life sometimes isn't fair to them. Backle explained this to Tate on an afternoon they were fishing and Tate got so comforted and less embarrassed of his dad.

Backle introduced Tate to "Stoic Monthly" so he could get his anxiety under control. Tate insists that he can buy his own but Backle always gets him the new issue the moment they release it.

Backle's love language is Words of affirmation and Gift-giving (I bet this heals Tate's inner child).

Tate's love language is Quality time and Acts of service.

Tate is very reserved and it took him some time to open up to Backle. After that Backle discovered that Tate is actually a Yapper and he loves listening to him.

Backle is an even bigger Yappertron 3000.

Despite that, they can spend hours sitting in silence just fishing without being uncomfortable.

Backle finds Tate's quirks really endearing and likes noticing them. Tate mumbles a lot when mad, bounces his knee when overthinking (got it after his father), and hums and whistles when happy (got it after his mother).

Tate doesn't like Public Displays of Affection but that didn't stop Backle from trying.

Backle keeps insisting that Skinny Dipping is so much fun and that they should do it. Tate picked a date to do it and Backle got really excited, only to discover that on the day Tate picked there was a huge storm. He suspects Tate chose that day on purpose because he is awfully good at predicting the weather. Backle will keep suggesting it until they try it.

Backle knows how to cook really well. Tate is the one in charge of keeping everything clean and in order.

Backle would love to have a dog, Tate would love to have a cat, they settled on gluing googly eyes on a rock. Tate named it Dwayne and Backle found it hilarious. Every time they see it they smile.

He likes watching poorly made, low-cost movies. Tate always ends up joining him after saying that "there's no way you like that". After each one, they always end up agreeing it's the worst movie they have ever watched.

Backle was a camp counselor when he was 16. His easygoing personality made kids love him. He also likes kids because they don't judge him for info dumping about sharks. In fact, they would keep asking for more shark facts.

Tate is scared that Backle will end up leaving him too, tries to not get too attached. #DaddyIssues

Tate wonders why Backle doesn't freak out when encountering Gravity Falls' weird creatures. Backle says it feels like a normal day in Australia.

No one in town knows the nature of their relationship. If you ask them, they'll tell you they are Fishing Buddies. If you ask Tate and Backle, they'll also tell you that. Only Blubs and Durland know.

Backle fully believes he'd be able to win a fight against an alligator/bear

Tate confessed that he had never watched Nemo and Backle couldn't believe it. He worked twice as hard on his shift to have everything done sooner just to close the shop early on that day. Then prepared snacks and organized a movie night. Tate really liked it, but found every scene with Dory difficult to watch because it reminded him of his dad (he never made a comment about it, but Backle probably figured it out). Backle would remind him to "just keep swimming" during hard times. During boring days at the shop, Backle also likes to mess with Tate by "speaking whale".

I could probably keep on adding more and more but I'm gonna stop here! Everyone is free to ask me for anything specific or even drop your own HCs! Would love to hear them and maybe even make them "canon" teehee <3

Wouldn’t it be horrible if he’d witnessed something so scary while in Gravity Falls that he makes a memory gun and ends up using too much to the point he loses his own self identity for the next 30 years and never returns home.

[misteria247]

Me when. Me when. Me when Pacifica is the child fiddleford never got to raise and when fiddleford is the good father Pacifica never had

Man, having tate be around for this, being silently a little bit jealous and wondering why he wasn't as lucky as Paz and did not get to have Fidd in his life like this.
