You ever wonder about the fact that when Dipper sacrifices for Mabel he can choose the selfish route and not do it and still be fine in Mabel's expense
Whereas when Mabel sacrifices for Dipper choosing the selfish route would not end well no matter what giving her only one choice in the matter that ends well for Dipper
Its the fact that he's resisting the temptation because despite benefitting no matter what, he'll choose the one where everyone he loves is happy
For Mabel its the fact that she will do the same for Dipper because she appreciates him, and she'll return that favor no matter what
Dipper is rewarded for sacrificing for Mabel, because Mabel will outright return the favor in the same episode
The Deep end doesnt count but its Mabel saving someones life so it gets a pass
Mabel doesnt get rewarded for sacrificing for dipper because she doesnt need to be, she's content with just dipper because he's always been there for her
there is no benefit for her in sock opera or WMG2 if she chooses to be selfish
there is benefit for dipper in time traveller's pig if he ever chose to be selfish
To expand more on the last part I put
For Dipper:
Time Travellers Pig: Dipper can choose to leave Mabel there and he'd get off scot free
Or fix the time line and Mabel will return the favor for him
The Deep end: Dipper can leave Mabel to save mermando herself and quit his job anyways because wendy gets fired
Or help Mabel save Mermando and wendy still gets fired
Weirdmageddon 2: Dipper can take the apprenticeship anyways and leave Mabel behind or grow up with Mabel being by eachothers side
Dipper has to resist being selfish and gets rewarded for doing the right thing.
For Mabel:
Sock Opera: Either she can sacrifice the play and everything she worked hard for or her brother stays possessed by Bill
Weirdmageddon 2: She can exile Dipper, Soos, and Wendy and live in mabelland but the world will end anyways or she can go with Dipper back home but He makes the decision to stay or not
Mabel asks for nothing in return other than her brother by her side.

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.

Gotta love how the Gravity Falls fandom still has no media literacy and is putting out the worst """character analysis""" videos known to man.

gotta say. i'm 100% on board with celestabellebethabelle gettin socked. i disagree when people say she had a point about mabel. first of all, mabel wasn't "just doing good deeds to make herself look better," she genuinely took c-beth's judgement to heart, declared herself "slacking in the goodness department," and set out to do good deeds because she wanted to be a better person!
but even more importantly, the whole reason she wanted the unicorn hair in the first place was to protect her family! that is, in and of itself, a good and selfless motivation.
so like, this 12-year-old girl shows up, with a totally reasonable request, motivated by wanting to protect the people she loves, and this equine asshole is just like "umm no, also you're a bad person lol," and some people apparently think the horse was right?? nah son that horse needed to get humbled. i'm actually so glad it turned out the whole "pure of heart" thing was just a straight-up scam in universe fr

Ford from Gravity Falls is used as the show's and fandom's scapegoat and it's completely unfair
This isn't written as a Ford defense squad post, as much as I love Ford, I know he is no saint and that he is an incredibly flawed yet incredibly well fleshed character, easily the best character of the entire series alongside Dipper and Stan. However, I think both the show AND the fandom tends to use him as the scapegoat to blame him for every little thing that has happened in the show, and it comes to a point that, honestly, it's downright ridiculous, like:
Getting mad at Stan over the project: yes, we know Stan breaking it was an accident, but that's because we, the audience, WATCHED Stan's memories and point of view, Ford didn't, and he has no way of checking that one out. It doesn't help that Stan's actions place him in the worst light posible: what was he doing sneaking into the school at night, specially around his brother's project? That was no accident, neither it was keeping quiet about breaking the project until there was no turning back, he could have told Ford to check it over, even if he kept his mouth shut about him being involved. On the top of that, he made ZERO attempts to show even the slightest remorse or guilt over it, he shrugged it off as roughhousing and completely dismissed it, as if he hadn't costed his brother's entire efforts and a full scholarship in the best college of the country. And to top it all, he immediately grinned while offering Ford to come sailing with him, you know, the thing the two had just talked about right before Ford's project was broken. See? From Ford's point of view and Stan's behaviour and actions EVERYTHING pointed at him doing it on purpose. At that moment, Ford had every single right to be furious and hurt at Stan for his betrayal. People need to stop acting as if Stan did no wrong in here when he screwed up big time. Ford had every right to resent Stan in here, and him managing to go to another college did not make it better: Ford making the best out of a crappy situation didn't make amends, specially when Stan had not apologized or tried to fix the mess or make it up to him.
Stan getting kicked out: Obviously Stan did NOT deserve to get kicked out over what happened, but that's NOT Ford's fault, he didn't kick him out, their father, Filbrick, aka abusive AH of the year, did, and considering what we know he said about Stan when he was young "He is a loser, an utter embarrassment, I just want to get rid of him" and the fact that he had his bag ready beforehand, it was clear he just used Ford's broken project as an excuse to do this earlier. You can't seriously expect Ford, a child at that time, to be the adult in the picture, specially in the heat of the moment when he was still hurt and angry. Not to mention that, had he tried to defend him, the two of them would have gotten kicked out. It would have helped no one. Should Ford had at least made sure Stan was okay? Yes, but that goes BOTH ways, as Stan left and didn't try to keep contact. Don't blame Ford for an abusive parent's actions.
Summoning Bill: Ford had NO idea that Bill was a demon, and the warning on the cave could have easily been a prank, specially cause you have to be THAT dumb to leave the spell to summon a demon next to the warn "DO NOT SUMMON", that's like me leaving my bank account in the open and write "DO NOT STEAL MY MONEY USING MY PASSWORD 1234". On the top of that, Bill pretended to be his friend by gaslighting him and manipulating him, feeding his insecurities and taking advantage that Ford was still hurting over Stan's loss, and trying to show that he was worth something through his smarts and to prove he wasn't a freak. Blaming Ford for trusting and summoning him is basically victim blaming him when he wasn't aware of any of this. The only thing he can be blamed is for, well, allow anyone in his mind, that should have been a huge boundary that should have never been accepted, but considering how manipulative Bill is...
Mcgucket's madness: While we can't deny that Mcgucket was traumatized by everything he saw in Gravity Falls and the portal, we can't directly blame Ford for this, he is not to blame for Mcgucket mishandling his anxiety and coping in an unhealthy way. Yes, Mcgucket was affected by all of this, but he was the one who created the memory gun, and who used it despite Ford offering him help and telling him NOT to use it cause it clearly caused brain damage, and told him to destroy it. And what did Mcgucket do? He used the memory gun on Ford to keep him quiet, created a cult, and used it on himself until losing his sanity. I'm sorry, but as much as I love and feel bad for Mcgucket, his own insanity is his own fault, not Ford's.
Not destroying his research: Would you guys be okay with destroying all your life work? It's not as simple. And you need to remember he was sleep deprived for weeks because Bill would possess him at any chance to torture him if he fell asleep, at that point Ford was suffering practically psychosis. Obviously he could have just burned the pages regarding Bill exclusively, but again, he couldn't think clearly at that point.
His fight with Stan: Again, sleep deprived, it's a miracle he could even say a sentence properly in his state, and it takes two to start an argument. Stan had every right to feel hurt, but calling Ford selfish for following his own life after Stan took his chances previously with zero remorse over it was also an AH move, which made things escalate when Ford did the same by claiming this was "the only worth thing he would ever do in his life", and then Stan, out of spite, tried to burn his journals, and Ford retaliated by tackling him to stop him, both twins blaming each other over Stan's life when really that was Filbrick's fault. Ford marking Stan was an honest accident, and he tried to stop the fight there and help him and heal him, it was Stan who out of pain and rage, continued the fight until Ford got sucked into the portal. BOTH of them are to blame for that fiasco for not even trying to communicate properly and jumping to physical fight.
Not thanking Stan right away: Stan was responsible for Ford losing 30 years of his life in the other dimension, taking his home, his life work, and his identity and on the top of that, ignoring the warnings of NOT opening the portal cause it could destroy the world, therefore opening the portal, creating the rift, and running Ford's plan to destroy Bill. From his point of view, Ford has every right to be pissed and not feeling like thanking his brother for it in the heat of the moment, specially when Stan doesn't show a single shred of remorse and his first words are "how about a thank you for getting you out of a sci-fi dimension?"
Not staying away from the kids: Ford LITERALLY does that, it's Dipper who comes to him, and then Stan accepted it.
Endangering the kids: Ford literally tried to keep the kids safe and the only time he actively risked Dipper's life was when he thought the UFO was safe. Stan literally got the kids in jail within the first week at Gravity Falls and almost got them killed multiple times, like with the dinosaur and the bottomless pit. And if we talk about Ford giving Mabel a crossbow, don't forget Stan allowed Mabel to play with an ax, Ford and Stan were raised in the 60s, where that was more than normal, and Ford openly asks if it's okay to give children weapons cause he has been out of this dimension for decades, which is a fair point. Stan knows better in here, and he has done far worse.
Not telling Stan and Mabel about the rift: Obviously telling the rest of the family would have been the ideal thing to do, but people forget that Ford is dealing with trauma and trust issues that are still untreated after 30 years: he was betrayed by his brother, then by his best friend, and finally by his muse, and it costed him everything, it's understandable he isn't going to trust his brother right away - specially considering Stan isn't taking him seriously, considering he shrugged off any problems with the portal and left the mess in his hands, assuming he won't be careful with it like he wasn't with the portal - or his niece, who he just met and for the little he has seen from her, has broken uncountable crystal balls in less than an hour, or who he has read from journal 3, has a terrible tendency of stealing or taking important things from others without permission, like journal 3 during Sock Opera and almost handling it to Bill. Was it a bad move? Yes, but understandable nevertheless given what he had gone through by that point.
"Neglecting" Mabel: This one is just downright ridiculous, we are literally SHOWED how Ford's interactions with Mabel are nothing but filled with fondness and how he claims to love this girl for being weird, praising her for being a good person and all. It's Stan who literally asked him to stay away from BOTH kids, which Ford complied to until Dipper literally busted into his lab, and it's not like Mabel showed any interest in spending time with Ford either, she only shows interest when there unicorns involved. Could have Ford interacted more with both kids? Yes, if it wasn't because...he was just adapting back into his own dimension after being 30 years away, and dealing with the stress of containing the rift and preparing for Weirdmaggedon, ALL while the kids barely had a couple of weeks left before returning home.When was Ford supposed to get extra time to bond with Mabel? Specially when Mabel didn't show any interest in him to begin with?
"Separating" Dipper and Mabel: This one is easily one of the most unfair points I hear so often, because not only it places the blame solely on Ford for problems that were taking place long before he even stepped out of that portal, but because it takes away any accountability on the children regarding their relationship, and implying that Ford was wrong in the past before the project incident. I won't deny that Ford was projecting a bit with the "isn't it suffocating?" comment, but other than that, he was offering his nephew a chance to study what he loved, giving him what he didn't get to have at his age, he wasn't excluding Mabel, Mabel simply never showed interest in the supernatural, as we all saw, and he simply helped his nephew to increase his self-confidence, something that, seriously, Dipper needed, after all the crap he got put through. And let's not pretend that all the kids' problems started with Ford, their problems started WAY long before Ford was around the picture, as we saw how basically Dipper has zero self-confidence and, as much as the twins love each other, their relationship was completely unbalanced: Dipper is constantly giving up for Mabel to make her happy, sacrificing his needs and wants for her, and everything Mabel does in return is not only not appreciating anything he does for her, but to mock him, disrespect his boundaries, ditch him for better plans, force her will onto him, and basically throw him under the bus whenever another plan suits him better, and getting all the favouritism from Stan's treatment up to that point, who joined into Dipper's treatment, favoured Mabel and gave Dipper the worst chores. Ford's appearance only balanced the equation by giving Dipper someone that he could connect with the same way Mabel connects with Stan. And the show tries to play that as a bad thing, really?
The "grammar" comment: This one is baffling to me, because while it's true Ford's reaction weren't the most mature one out of the two, the fact that people ignore Stan's own immature actions on that scene and blame Ford exclusively only speaks volumes of how much the fandom uses him as the scapegoat: at this point, Ford has been TORTURED for DAYS to no end, by being electrocuted and turned into a gold statue, and the second he comes back to his senses, he is relieved to find his family, but also has a very limited time to stop Bill, so he hurries up to draw the circle. He literally pleads Stanley to hold his hand to fix this and Stan refuses, openly accusing him of creating the end of the world (while purposefully ignoring his own share of the blame, since he is the one who opened the portal in the first place and created the rift that started weirdmaggedon), Ford apologizes and pleads him to help him by just shaking his hand, and what does Stan do? Refuse to do it until he forces a thank you out of him, effectively keeping the world's safety, their children included, out of pure pettiness and pride, and even after he gets that thank you out of him, he continues to badmouth Ford. By that point, to say Ford was irritated with Stan is an understatement. Yet somehow he gets more crap for that grammar comment, than for Stan throwing punches at him for it, let alone his entire behaviour in that episode. Again, both of them were being stubborn immature idiots, so why people blame Ford exclusively?
Again, with this, I'm not saying Ford is innocent on everything, he isn't, he has done his plenty of share of mistakes, he spends DECADES blaming himself over those, with trust and self-confidence issues, and spent over half of his life ready to sacrifice himself and everything to fix it, but I honestly find absolutely unfair and an insult to his character how the fandom tends to portray him as this selfish arrogant old man that people love to blame for everything that went wrong, ignoring Bill and basically to favour other characters like Stan and Mabel. I can understand that Ford, coming out so late in the show and his life story only been expanded in Journal 3 didn't help, but the bashing he gets even ten years later is just appalling and proves that many people didn't understand him, just look at what the fandom think about him just watching the fanmade episode "Return to the Bunker", which basically spits all over his character. It's a shame that one of the most fleshed out characters of this amazing show gets the short end of the stick by his creator and by the fandom when he clearly doesn't deserve it.

I see a lot of people blaming Dipper for the events in S1:E12 Summerween. And while I do agree that Dipper was needlessly cagey about why he didn’t want to go trick-or-treating, there is no way he could have known that getting rid of the subpar candy (which is wasteful but I digress) would summon the Summerween trickster, let alone that the trickster would be such a formidable foe. And that he looses all the candy in the gorge behind the bushes is an accident at worst, again how could he possibly have known there was a gorge there.
Mabel didn’t tell Dipper why she was performing a heist with the pool supplies. Dipper totally would’ve helped her if she had told him. And I believe Mabel would’ve been more than happy to speedrun trick-or-treating if Dipper had told her he wanted to go to the party. She probably would’ve gone with him.
But they’re kids, and kids aren’t known for their exemplary communication skills.

my opinion of noah will remain the same as always which is that i dislike him and was disgusted by his support of israel and that i also hope that he and every other liberal zionist like him who has stated they’re open to learning really does take the time to undo the propaganda that israel has fed them. hat being said it’s been very odd seeing people react so intensely in hating him that they resort to homophobia and antisemitism. i find it especially strange when you have actors like brett gelman who is one of the most vile and disgusting zionists on social media at the moment, getting less backlash for his violent beliefs than noah. it’s clear that this isn’t about palestinian lives to most people and is instead about their own guilt and petty drama. in general i find this type of fake activism disgusting and wish these people spent more time boosting and donating to gofundmes than grappling for moral superiority online. as for the people that support noah still, they’re equally as ignorant and need to learn more about what he did wrong and how to separate their view of will from him. in general we should not be focusing and talking abt him at all, it’s a waste of time and does no good. if you care abt palestine you won’t waste all your energy on some random boy who represents nothing that could help anyone who is suffering

Okay now I'm curious about your TMA/Gravity Falls crossover. Is it like the cast of TMA get a cartoony summer adventure or is it like the cast of Gravity Falls have to deal with The Horrors? Or is it something else?
See this fic enchants me because it’s sort of both. One of the Rules of the fic is that the characters absolutely must maintain the conventions of their genre. So it’s the TMA universe and all of its grimdark cosmic horror grappling with the metaphysically displaced Mystery Twins, who operate on cartoon logic.
So it’s a lot of:
Elias: As you can see, you are all quite trapped. Under the contract, you cannot quit and you cannot kill me, so I suggest you all--
Mabel and Dipper: *exchange a look*
Dipper, stonefaced: *shrinks him with the size changing gem*
Mabel: *picks him up by his blazer and puts him in a jar*
The TMA crew: *staring*
Dipper, clapping once: so that's him handled.
Tim, completely broken, having to sit down: what
Dipper: I mean he can't do his evil machinations when he's like two inches tall in a jar and he's not going to die either so--oh uh Mabel? You put holes in that jar right?
Mabel, already going through Elias’s wallet and pocketing the cash: I can't be expected to think of everything Dipper
Dipper: I'm sure he's fine there, there was some air to start with and--we'll add holes. We'll add some holes

i still will never understand why the fandom decided to demonize mabel pines
it made me angry even back when i was 14
spoilers for gravity falls btw if you happened to have not seen it
you're telling me that if YOU were placed in your ideal paradise where you have everything you wanted just like that, NO LIMITS NO NOTHING, and your brother who you just had an argument with comes in and demands you leave to go back to an apocalyptic wasteland and try to save it from ruin, you're telling me you wouldn't even be SLIGHTLY tempted to say fuck it and stay in your perfect little fantasy land where there are no problems? and again may i remind you you have EVERYTHING YOUR HEART DESIRES NO MATTER HOW UNREALISTIC OR WHIMSICAL, and she is being asked to give that up not to return even to the regular world, but to life as she knew it UNDER CONTROL OF A DEMON FROM ANOTHER DIMENSION SHE'S EXPECTED TO HELP DEFEAT. YOU ARE TELLING ME DEADASS YOU WOULD NOT BE TEMPTED TO STAY? YOU DO NOT AT ALL SEE WHERE SHE'S COMING FROM AS SOMEONE WHO'S SCARED AND HURT AND TRYING TO RUN AWAY FROM THEIR PROBLEMS?
not to mention that she probably felt so GUILTY for CAUSING that apocalyptic wasteland and was trying to avoid that guilt through indulging in the fantasy land!!!! and dipper confronting her made her shut down and deflect because she didn't want to acknowledge her own guilt! (she is such an e7)
i do NOT get it. i may have mixed up some of the facts of what happened bc i haven't seen gravity falls in years but my overall point still stands.

Negroes with Guns - Robert F. Williams
click the title link to Download for FREE from The BLACK TRUEBRARY
Negroes with Guns is a 1962 book by civil rights activist Robert F. Williams. Timothy B. Tyson said, Negroes with Guns was "the single most important intellectual influence on Huey P. Newton, the founder of the Black Panther Party".
The book is used in college courses and is discussed in debates. Negroes with Guns was Williams' experience throughout the Civil Rights Movement of Monroe, North Carolina.
Because black rights were constantly violated, the self-defense policy was born, with Williams saying there was a need to "meet violence with violence." However, Williams claimed that black militants were not promoting violence, but were combating it, believing in self-defense and not aggression.
youtube
NEGROES WITH GUNS: Rob Williams and Black Power tells the dramatic story of the often-forgotten civil rights leader who urged African Americans to arm themselves against violent racists. In doing so, Williams not only challenged the Klan-dominated establishment of his hometown of Monroe, North Carolina, he alienated the mainstream Civil Rights Movement, which advocated peaceful resistance.
For Williams and other African Americans who had witnessed countless acts of brutality against their communities, armed self-defense was a practical matter of survival, particularly in the violent, racist heart of the Deep South.
As the leader of the Monroe chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), Williams led protests against the illegal segregation of Monroe’s public swimming pool. He also drew international attention to the harsh realities of life in the Jim Crow South.
All the while, Williams and other protestors met the constant threat of violence and death with their guns close at hand. In August 1961, the Freedom Riders, civil rights activists trained by Martin Luther King, Jr. to lead non-violent resistance, came to Monroe to demonstrate the superiority of passive resistance. An angry mob turned on the protestors and, by the end of the day, the Freedom Riders had been bloodied, beaten and jailed, and Rob Williams was on the run from the FBI.
Backed by a jazz score by Terence Blanchard (Barbershop and the films of Spike Lee), NEGROES WITH GUNS uses interviews, rare archival footage and searing photographs to chronicle Williams’ rise to notoriety, his eight-year exile in Cuba and Mao Zedong’s China and his much-publicized return home in 1969. Voices include historians, members of Williams’ Black Guard—armed men committed to the protection of Monroe’s black community—and Williams’ widow, Mabel. For eight years, Williams and his family lived in exile, first in Cuba and then in China.
In Havana, Williams began to broadcast a 50,000-watt radio program called "Radio Free Dixie." Selected recordings are featured in NEGROES WITH GUNS. The radio show fused cutting-edge music with news of the black freedom movement and Williams’ editorials, which, among other things, urged blacks not to fight in Vietnam.
In exile from 1961 to 1969, at the height of the American Civil Rights Movement, Rob Williams and his accomplishments have been largely erased from the public consciousness. According to the filmmakers, NEGROES WITH GUNS helps to “restore Rob and Mabel Williams to their rightful place as important civil rights figures who defied the white power structure without the protection of large numbers or the attention of television cameras.”

I honestly don't get people who thought Dipper should have accepted Ford's apprenticeship offer or that he was once again bending over backwards to please Mabel by rejecting it, as if the apprenticeship and Mabel Land weren't two sides of the same coin.
Everybody can tell Mabel Land was a bad coping mechanism to Mabel -a way to have her avoid facing reality. But Ford's apprenticeship would've be the same thing to Dipper if he accepted it.
Since the begining of the show Dipper wanted to fastfoward childhood with his attempts to woo Wendy, lying about his age to seem more mature and skipping trick r treat to go to a teenage party, and getting the oportunity to just skip middle and high school and go straight to studying the paranormal like an adult with Ford is just more of that. It's another form of escapism, even if it seems more "grown-up".
When he gives up the apprenticeship, he's not giving up his dreams -if they defeat Bill he can come back to Gravity Falls with Mabel and study the paranormal as much as he likes and he even had a plan for making a ghost-hunting show when he grew up, as he told Ford as the latter was doing his offer.
Instead, he promisses to have Mabel's back and vice-versa as they've always had before, because as much as reality and growing up sucks, it's the people around you that make it bearable.

I think it's interesting to discuss Ford's ties to Weirdmageddon, but I hate the fandom's recent takes that involve just blaming it all on him. I think it is interesting to discuss how Bill further messed with Ford's self-esteem to make him feel like being a hero was the only thing that mattered, and since Ford had never had the opportunity to deconstruct that, he ended up unintentionally projecting this attitude onto Dipper. But in what world does that make Weirdmageddon his fault??? He very clearly had no idea how much he would upset Mabel or Dipper. He just thought he was offering Dipper the opportunity that Ford had wished he'd had himself. It is entirely normal for any family to have a breakdown in communication, much less a family that had gone through as much as Ford's family had. Bill was the one who exploited a normal occurrence to bring about the end of the world. How tf was that Ford's fault, when he didn't even get an opportunity to explain himself or even know Mabel's concerns?
Yeah like. This fandom has no media literacy and has never heard of nuance before and it shows.
This fandom also loves victim blaming abuse victims (see how they talk about Ford's relationship with Bill).
Weirdmaggedon is Bill's fault. Bill is the one who caused Weirdmaggedon.
Yes, there was a series of miscommunications in the Pines family that led to Weirdmaggedon, but that doesn't mean it was Ford's fault rather than Bill's. Bill is still the one who started Weirdmaggedon, and the miscommunications were more complicated than people give them credit for. Ford meant well, and canonically thought highly of Mabel and thought she'd be fine. He wanted to offer Dipper the chance he never had. Mabel got upset and ran out before Dipper and Ford could even begin to talk things out with her (this isn't Mabel hate, btw--if Mabel hadn't run into Bill-possessing-Blendin, she probably would have cooled down enough for them all to have a conversation and work things out).
Like guys. Miscommunications is not crossing some moral boundary. It's something that happens in interpersonal relationships. Gravity Falls fandom be normal about Ford challenge.
