Don't screw up the OP.
It looks like I was too late
>>77952979
First for The Sqoou did nothing wrong .
>>77953000
Trips tell truths.
Reposting Dominica's art
>>77953000
>>77953058
Anons, please. We have a fresh new thread. Let's try to make it slightly less terrible than the last one.
>>77953000
Literally who
>>77953097
Dominica's other art from last thread.
Can we get back to talking about wanting to fuck prepubescent white boys
Have we've been getting fucked with by an interdimensional leprechaun this whole time?
>>77953311
>just the white boys
I don't know, man, probably not. That lone Nate poster is pretty vocal.
Dqg wkhq wkhuh'v wkh jrdw jxb.
>>77953311
whoa. Nice double dubs bro. Awesome !
>>77953311
I'd rather talk about turning into prepubescent white boys and being hit on by older dominant girls who are still technically underage too so it's okay if something happens.
>>77953097
Man, this shit is beyond adorable.
>>77953362
Yes.
>>77953000
>>77953400
These are sqoou.
>>77953405
Id rather turn into Pacifica, buy Dipper, then make him my pool boy slave who sneaks into my room every night and kekolds my father
>>77953462
So what ? Oh noez, he's lurking like we said.
The fuck is even wrong with you?
>>77953416
I have a strong feeling that's what going to happen in the end.
>>77953493
This is sqoou as well.
>>77953462
Seems like it.
In any case. If you're still around and reading this Sqoou, the easiest way to make everyone not hate you, is to just stop ever using the name.
You are on an anonymous image board.
Use that fact to your advantage. If you never write Sqoou again, and just post like a normal person, then everyone will forget you exist and you can be a part of /gfg/ just like every other anon here.
>>77953526
Dude, you know it's just gonna be Shipless Dip.
Pacifica will get three lines, and then stop being relevant.
>>77953472
This, desu
>>77953557
Please don't derail another thread just because you have issues with me.
I tried to share theories with /co/ and they requested I stop.
I did. You should too.
>>77953617
I picked that up a few threads back. Thanks for the advice.
If I have something specific to share from that internet persona, then I'll use the name.
>>77953294
>>77953097
I'll continue tomorrow guys, sorry... You really cheered me up, and I'm thankful for your support to no end.Thank you Nontoxic <3
>>77951191I really enjoyed reading this... Even though I use a trip, I still engage in discussion as an anon... I wouldn't want Dominica to constantly shine when I want to reply something simple to somebody (sometimes I accidently do though). I guess I can understand why people dislike trip names... I'm not sad to admit I lurk here everyday (Y) [I don't want gf to enddd...]
so, what do the lorefriends think of this?
>>77953655
Best just not to respond to it. Or if you must, limit it to a reaction image.
>>77953617
>Pacifica will get three lines, and then stop being relevant.
She'll get the llama sweater from Mabel, that's a "thank you" right off the bat, I can imagine her being badass against Bill and throwing some cliche lines here and there. In the end, you're probably right.Shame, because I'd like to see much more of her post-NMM character.
>>77953759
Creative if somewhat autistic? Also, using the term BLAM will trigger the anti-tvtropes anons.
>>77953707
I think in general, even if you have something to share from it, don't. At least not here.
The way you showed up caused a lot of damage to the name. Anything you say as Sqoou at this point is probably going to be met with derision. If you want to bring anything up, just share it from anon. It's the better way to do it anyways.
>>77953493
>he's lurking
Just so you know, when people tell you to lurk here, they mean "stop posting and read the threads passively" not "take off your name post anonymously". Talk less, listen more, etc. The hope is that you'll get a good feel for what other anons like and don't like, and you'll make fewer missteps as a result.
Not an attack; just an explanation.
>>77953712Hey, we're all in this together. Thanks for doing what you do and making these threads a brighter place.
>>77953712It's great to have you here, so hang in there.
>>77953759
>Big Lipped Alligator Moment
Fucking kek, every time. I just imagined it popping up during the scene
>>77953834
>She'll get the llama sweater from Mabel
What makes you think that?
>>77954527
She's in rags and it'd make sense if she really is on the wheel
who /sqoou/ here
I want to destroy mabel!
>>77954593
Yeah, there were a lot of things that made sense and didn't happen
But if you say so
>>77954593
I have to watch not to derail the thread by being here as myself.
If you'd like to discuss the llama symbol in detail, I have quite a lot to say about it.
I'm not allowed to talk about it here though.
It always incites a riot.
>>77953759
The problem with theories like this one is that character designs in Gravity Falls are limited in range and variety. If you get caught up in analysing hairstyles and face shapes, you can find "evidence" to support all kinds of farfetched theories.
For example, maybe you remember when there a large contingent of people who believed Stan was the twins' real grandfather.
At the time, one of the more popular arguments used the shape of Carla McCorkle's face and hair as supporting evidence, going off the notion that she was the best candidate for Stan's ex-wife. And she does bear a slight resemblance to Mabel. But so do a lot of other characters. Mostly background ones with no significance to the plot. And sure enough, that one got debunked hard.
Recycling elements from main characters' designs is one of the easiest ways to ensure a cartoon's characters have a cohesive feel to them--without forcing your lead designers to vet every single one, anyway. I'm not saying people should never look for a Chekhov's gun among background characters, just that those arguments need to be taken with a fuckton of salt.
>>77954879
I think a lot of people believed Stan was the twin's real grandfather because it made more sense than what actually happened.
>>77954811Just go ahead, don't ask. I don't have any quarrel with you. Everything is fine until you start linking your own tumblr and saying you're the only person on this planet who discovered it.
>>77954879
I find, when theorizing, to find multiple pieces of corroborating evidences.
In the real world, things aren't scripted. In the scripted world, things are more easily quantifiable.
The act of brainstorming and coming up with outlines often leads to walls filled with rainbow colored post it notes and an outline draft.
It seems, in Gravity Falls the clues come in twos. It's as if their clues are numbered, as if to have come from an outline.
The theories you've cited drew conclusions based on little evidence, where as they should have had much.
Perhaps red herrings are numerically quantifiable in a similar way to the clues.
I wonder if those people were wrong, or duped.
>>77954879
Yeah, there are a few background characters who look like they could be Mabel's mom/older sister but obviously are not related to her. Bearing visual similarity to another character does not mean they're supposed to be related.
>>77954879
So do you guys think the story about the hippie was actually true or do you think it's a lie Stan told to cover the fact he separated from Carla due to becoming a traveling criminal?
>>77954989
>it made more sense than what actually happened
Well, that was before AToTS, so it's not like they had anything in canon that said otherwise to object to. But I get what you're saying.
Honestly, though, I never liked the grunkle4grandpa theory because it seemed too complicated. How do you become a secret grandfather, exactly? Mr. Pines would know his own father unless Stan had abandoned him at birth (something that would be wildly out of character for Stan as we know him). Sure, there was also the body swapping theory, but it still would have been strange for Stan to cut all ties with his own son and masquerade as his uncle instead. You'd expect him to maintain way closer ties even if he had a good reason to hide who he was.
Of course, what we got in canon was even more ridiculous. But hey.
>you'll never sniff the pits of Ford's sweater
Why even live?
>>77955095
Gideon had Ford's journal and Ford invents stuff.
Maybe ford invented cloning.
Bill said in the AMA he's multiversal. Maybe he knows other versions of the team as well.
If cloning and multiversal doppelgangers are possible, maybe the multi symbol characters have reasonable explanations, including Mabel's backwards symbol.
They've claimed to have done multiple versions of the show, so maybe it was a scrapped story line, but each episode has added more evidences of backwards characters. Especially how Mabeland connects to the old PixelWizard poster.
>>77954879
I'm glad you posted this because after the twin reveal I'm pretty much susceptible to any theory there is but grunkle4grandpa
in fact, I once found a similar theory that a background character found in the future with his back turned was Dipper because of the hair floof (instead of being Ford, who has 6 fingers)
>>77955264
Neither, I'd say. The end cipher for RA strongly implied he never dated Carla at all:
>CARLA MCCORKLE RETURNED ALL HIS FLOWERS
>MARILYN DIVORCED HIM AFTER ONLY SIX HOURS
>BEATRICE SLAPPED HIM FOR BEING A CAD
>OLD GOLDIE’S THE BEST GIRLFRIEND STAN EVER HAD
So there might have been a hippy she ran off with, but Stan didn't get c ucked by him.
My take is he was exaggerating his relationship with her, probably because it was mostly one-sided. Maybe she just wanted to be friends after he helped her, and he fooled himself into thinking he had a shot with her. Puts an interesting spin on Stan's reaction (Yeah, "chances") to Dipper's crush on Wendy. I wish that had been addressed in the episode.
>>77955310
Between the implications that Grunkle Stan had an ex-wife and his confirmed criminal history at that point, the theory I had put together in the gap between NWHS and AToTS was that Grunkle Stan had an ongoing criminal, but at some point met a woman he really loved, but from whom he hid his past and fake identities from in an effort to win her over, lying about himself as a normal member of society. His wife found out about his past life and lies, and is both outraged at Stan and now actively afraid of him, and so she breaks off with him and does her best to hide from him, taking with her Stan's unborn child and knowledge of his brother, Stanford. I had no guesses as to what happened to the Author or how Stanford came to Gravity Falls, but I figured sometime after taking over Stanford's identity he got a call or letter from his now older child, who had kept in occasional touch with his uncle. From there, I imagined he just tried to reconnect with his family through the identity of Stanford, never revealing the truth because all they known about Stanley is that he's a deceptive criminal dirtbag.
>>77955766
They gave us a massive red herring in Dipper and Mabel's Guide to Mystery and Nonstop Fun.
It had some of us believing Ford was future grownup Dipper. They appeased it by having Ford say "You remind me of myself"
Or when Dipper connected the strings all to McGucket and hoards of kids felt less bad for reaching that conclusion.
>>77955839
Now, that's an explanation I don't mind. It's a little melodramatic, maybe, but not in a way that's unbelievable for the show. And it does fill in the plotholes. If I'd seen it at the time, I might have warmed up more to the theory.

Thing is, there is no such thing as universal sexual appeal. Standards vary greatly from culture to culture, and individual to individual.
[That's probably a moot point, since you are very likelya straight man. Of course he wouldn't be sexy to you.

>so in love with yourself you date a r63 version of yourself
so much unresolved sexual tension with his twin smfh
>>77957110
I've had exactly two /gfg/-related dreams.
In one, I was a museum curator dealing with a haunting. It escalated into summoning Bill to make a deal to get rid of the ghost. I woke up before anything was resolved, I think. But it was pretty good otherwise. Very cinematic.
In the other,some anon dug up irrefutable proof Alex really is a FTM transsexual and spammed it all over /co/. Shoutout to the one alexposter who kept bringing up that possibility in these threads..
>>77958026
Don't make things weird, guy.inb4 "where do you think you are"
Is anyone else...kind of...worried about Gideon?
We've never seen someone break a helldeal with Bill before, have we? Well, it seems like Gideon just did. What happens to you? Is there any chance the show might kill him? His "tell Mabel what I did" sounded kind of...final.
On the other hand, the way the finale's been going, it seems most likely that they won't even mention anything about the deal. Gideon will just show up in the background with the rest of the crowd at some point, no explanation, and have maybe two or three lines. Also, I don't know if anything bad would happen to a kid. If there even are any consequences to breaking his deal, it'll be something silly, like his hair turns into a duck or something.
So on the one hand I'm disappointed that there will likely be zero fallout or mention of Gideon's whole face heel turn, but on the other, I don't think he deserves a horrific death or anything, he is just a ten year old kid.
>>77958545
Bill failed Gideon first. That might grant him some kind of immunity that will come into play.
Will we ever get to see inside Mabel's box?
>>77958771
Maybe Dipper will bring it along before they go on a roadtrip and spill it in front of everyone.
>>77957319Appreciate it. Best Gompers.
>>77958669
Well, Bill didn't get a favor from Gideon since he failed to deliver; the deal wasn't broken so much as called off.
In this case, it seems like Bill delivered on freeing Gideon. Of course, we don't know what Bill asked for in this case.
Also, I'm not sure if Bill has to follow through on his deals. Not sure if there are consequences for the other person but not him or what, really.
>>77958545
I'm thinking Bill might make an example out of Gideon to try and freak out Ford.
>>77958545
If I claimed to be emotionally invested in Gideon's fate, I'd be lying. Ten years old or not, he's been exceptionally terrible. But Alex seems determined to at least start him on the path toward a redemption of sorts, so I have no doubt he'll get a hopeful ending. Maybe not entirely happy, but with room for improvement.
That said, I really do want to know if there are formal consequences to breaking a deal with Bill. It seems like Bill's deals aren't governed by any power higher than himself, so perhaps his retaliation would be limited to things he could accomplish on his own. Prior to Bill entering reality, maybe it was as simple as Bill giving the person sanity-destroying nightmares for the rest of his life. But who knows what he'll do now. Hopefully, it'll be something more interesting than just turning Gideon into gold or stone.
But even if there's nothing more to the deals, I also want to see Bill and Gideon interact on screen. Alex has talked a lot about Gideon's tense dynamic with Bill, but we've seen next to nothing of it in the show. I'd like to that to happen in the finale, ideally sometime before the final confrontation. But it's more likely Gideon will just be (temporarily) turned to stone, waiting for the twins and their party to find him.
Part of me is expecting one of his tween fangirls to stab somebody someday and tell the cops that Bill Cipher made them do it. I hope not, obviously.
>>77959844
You mean like those crazy girls who stabbed another and blamed it on being manipulated by Slenderman?
Honestly Stan's life is just depressing as fuck. The only time he's had something close to a functional life is impersonating his brother while trying to rescue that brother from an accident he caused.
it kind of bums me out
>>77960032
Yeah. I was saddest for the girl who got stabbed and their families and everyone involved, obviously. But I was kinda sad for the guy who invented Slenderman on SomethingAwful, too. You just invent something silly for fun, and you can never tell which creative thing might get used as an excuse by someone with problems. Catcher in the Rye being another obvious example, although that author had some problems himself, obviously he's not at fault for the crimes connected to the book.
>>77960032
I'm pretty sure Bill made a reference to that in the AMA
>>77958545
>We've never seen someone break a helldeal with Bill before, have we?
Who is Ford?
>>77960345
A miserable pile of secrets?
Also a chunk of solid gold right now apparently.
>>77960345
Ford's making up for it by doing time as his trophy wife.
>>77960345
To be fair, we don't know what happened to Ford when he did, either. There may have been repercussions. Guess that's another thing to look out for in the journal replica.
>>77960042
I think the show actually does an incredibly job selling just how much the events in Stan's life have worn on him just through regular behavior that looks normal on the surface. Stan bases his whole business on deceiving people and in general has a borderline predatory attitude towards people outside his family, played for laughs most of the time, but very clearly the result of having to struggle to survive in a world where seemingly no one loved him. And while it's not really remarked upon, his treatment of Dipper and the lessons he learned from his father are obviously him to trying to rationalize the fact that his parents just didn't love into something positive and projecting his issues onto the children.
>>77960345
I thought of that, but all Bill said was, "Just let me into your mind, Stanford," Ford was the one who threw in the, "Until the end of time" (what a fucking dumbass, by the way), so was that even part of the deal?
Ford obviously did let Bill into his mind for a pretty long time, that alone might count as fulfilling it.
Another thing we might never know for sure.
>>77959642
Thurop Orman did just recently say he recorded the last episode of Gravity Falls.
No one else said that, so maybe it's relevant as he was the last one recording.
>>77960253
>But I was kinda sad for the guy who invented Slenderman on SomethingAwful
Oh, you weren't the only one. I don't know whether or not he felt any kind of responsibility, but it's not hard to imagine that he would. My heart really went out to him. At least the girl survived...she and her family were certainly traumatized, but it's far from the worst that could have happened.
>>77956484
You gotta
>tfw no background character episode
>>77960042
>>77960520
In addition, it's clear Stan sees himself as having little in the way of self-worth. That he so readily "killed" himself off, though for practical reasons, almost seemed to punctuate how disposable considered himself to be.
>>77960721
Do we really need them?
No, of course not.
WhoPineswesthere?
Finally got around to re-watching the last episode. I'm sorry but I can't feel any sort of emotion from either of the twins, everything feels so rushed and unlike them somehow.
Pic related was the only time I can remember the show actually making me feel for a character. I really hope with the double-length finale we'll have another one of these moments, but with how they treated the scene in OP I'm not optimistic. That just felt way too forced.
Anyone else feel like this?
>>77960764
All that is exactly why I hate the expectation Stan will die in a blaze of self-sacrificial glory. He's already thrown his life away for the sake of his family once.
I want him to earn a happier ending this time around, where he not only gets to prove his worth to Ford, but actually sticks around to enjoy the benefits of reconnecting with his family. Something a little more life-affirming than a hero's death, no matter how impressive one might be for a Y7 show to pull off.
>>77961022
The show has more or less put all its eggs in one basket and assembled the narrative in such a way that it's ability to generate viewer investment is at this point almost totally dependent on how much that viewer cares for or agrees with Mabel.
Unfortunately, I no longer care for Mabel.
>>77960972
Always.
>>77961022
I actually did get a bit teary eyes at the flashbacks and a bit of what followed, but the rest of the episode felt remarkably flat compared to what I expected.
The end of DaMvtF was so emotional for me twins wise and then a lot of last ep was so...meh.
>>77960721
Depending on how you look at it, that scene is one of the most tragic of the series.
His family can afford to send him to private school, yet there he is, with the commoners.
>>77961246
That's a cute one. I wish there was more art for this ship.I actually do have a really nice sketch drawn by a pretty good artist, but they never posted it on their own blog so I would feel like a piece of shit if I shared it without their permission.
>>77961246
The flashbacks seemed really cliched to me, I agree with >>77961244 in that they're trying to push the whole Mabel thing.
I hate that the show is ending like this. Back when season one ended I never would have expected to hate Mabel by the time the series finale rolled around.
Reminder that Mabel was an accessory to rape and forced two people who don't love each other into a life together.
I've never really been able to hate Mabel. I see tons of reasons why people have grown to dislike her get posted in the threads but none of them really seem to click in my mind.
She's a bit brash and a little obnoxious, but good at heart.
The argument that never made much sense to me at all was the idea that Mabel was forcing Dipper to abandon his dreams when he declined Ford's apprenticeship. He'd never met Ford until a few weeks ago, so this wasn't him putting an end to a lifelong ambition. It was a whim, and one that he saw as childish after spending time in Mabel's fantasy bubble.
She'd even told him that he could go with Ford, but he chose not to of his own free will. No compulsion, magic or anything like that forced his hand.
I can't understand all the fury that caused.
>>77961247
Clearly, you haven't watched the show
Rich people are the scum of society
I bet Bill is rich as fuck
>>77961022
>Pic related was the only time I can remember the show actually making me feel for a character.
Huh. That was a good scene in a great episode.
But. Stan resigning himself to sending the the kids home in Gideon Rises didn't do anything for you? Or the scene where they board the bus? What about the confrontation in front of the portal in Not What He Seems? Or when Ford rejected Stan in AToTS? Dipper and Mabel's "don't get stupid" talk, maybe?
I mean, I can't tell you how to enjoy the show, and I hope I'm not coming off like I want to. I'm just curious why NMM had the only emotional moment that worked for you. Do you see something of yourself in Pacifica, or just generally find her more sympathetic than the others?
>>77953834
>Pacifica isn't barefoot
You had one job Alex.
>>77961715
Well, the position the show has unintentionally or not solidified its support of is that family is the most important thing, and that anything is worth giving up to maintain it. While a reasonable moral, the actual execution is lacking and the show doesn't seem to acknowledge that it's perfectly normal for family members to remain emotionally close even if they have to go down different roads in life.
Stan's heartbreak over his brother departing him was treated sympathetically even though Ford being able to travel far away from his low income Jersey neighborhood and their abusive parents for free would have been the best thing for Ford, and would not have in any way reduced his ability to love his brother, who in addition has obviously made no realistic plans for his own future.
In the present time, the show is so dedicated to its "family is the most important" ideal that pushes the implication that family members should be glued at the hip to each other, even though that's obviously unhealthy and is actively stifling both twin's ability to develop their own identity.
>>77955670
You talk about the multiversal doppelgangers; HOW on Earth could Mabel's supposedly-from-another-universe horizontally-flipped (that's what I understand you're talking about) llama symbol be possible to exist (be knitted in on a sweater) in the current canon Gravity Falls universe?
>>77961946
I think there's a bit of difference between being glued to the hip with someone and leaving home and abandoning school at the age of 13 to chase monsters with your autistic great uncle.
Ford willingly cut his family ties in favor of pursuing his dream and he wanted Dipper to take the same path, but the whole summer has been reinforcing that family should have each others back. Almost every problem has been resolved either by Dipper and Mabel joining forces instead of working alone, or by having Stan come in and rescue them.
Anyway I know its normal for people to drift apart as they grow older, but that comes from normal growing up and not a sudden sharp separation at a young age.
>>77961150
I could accept Stan sacrificing himself for the twins sake (because it is something he'd do), but I likewise would prefer a happy ending for him. He can be a terrible person at times, and he's certainly made plenty of bad mistakes, but he's also paid dearly for them. He's suffered enough. I want the poor guy to live out his last years in genuine happiness and self-acceptance.

>I no longer care for Mabel.
Mabel's more or less my favorite but man was I let down but how emotionally un-invested she was last episode, when we got a great scene like this on in Dipper and Mabel vs. the Future.
Mabel's scenes were much more emotional and human over a few friends not being able to come to her party over the end of the world. Some people said she was hypnotized, but that was, first off, really shittily established if true, and second, at the end when they got out of the bubble you didn't see anything from her either. Her parents, her friends, Stan could be dead for all she knows, and there's no real reaction. I feel like you saw how run down and upset Dipper was by everything last episode, but with Mabel nada.
>>77962110
>spectacular in every way
Thats definitely taking things a bit too far anon, but I do appreciate the compliment!
>>77962118
I want for Pyronica too, but there's no need for those stereotypes.
Also Pyronica is pretty much the only waifu in the show who ISN'T jailbait. Just let me have this.
>>77962145
>over the end of the world
at no point in the episode had anyone told her the world was ending though. she had no clue how bad it was outside the bubble and was knocked unconscious before seeing bill take shape and start messing stuff up.
also no one in the episode told her what was happening, so she'd have no way of knowing how bad it was either. soos and wendy both got distracted by their fantasies and dipper was just arguing with her about fantasy vs reality instead of pointing out that the end times were on their doorstep and ford was a statue.
>>77962203
I was talking about the pigtailed girl in the pic I was replying too, but I didn't have any SFW pictures of her, so I just posted a random Pyronica picture.
I went though the whole Pyronica tag on tumblr and got a bunch of new art and porn of her, so fans of her can look out for her on the booru later.

Clockwork.
>>77962228
>dipper was just arguing with her about fantasy vs reality instead of pointing out that the end times were on their doorstep and ford was a statue.
This was a shitty bit of writing in and of itself (so why the fuck wouldn't Dipper mention that?!?), but there was also the part where a portal to Gravity Falls was opened right in front of her and EVERYTHING WAS ON FIRE. No worries there, really?
Either the writing was crap, or Dipper is acting retarded and Mabel is being an apathetic cunt and/or also retarded.
>>77961762
>I bet Bill is rich as fuck
I can't see Bill having a use for money.
>>77962317
Well he did tell everyone to buy gold that one time. Maybe he just loves gold?
>>77962095
The way Dipper disparaged Ford's offer was obviously the show presenting things in the most Mabel sympathetic view. From an objective standpoint even within the show's universe, the offer is not that bad.
For one, Ford is not a crackpot. The mysterious phenomenon of Gravity Falls objectively exist so what Dipper would be doing would be not be any less "real" that the work and science done by astronomers who lived in times when it was believed the sun went around the earth. Modern technology would allow Dipper and Mabel to stay in contact, greatly dulling the impact of physical separation. Dipper is already an incredibly lonely child. He's been living in the real world for his whole life until now and already has no friends besides his sister, who he shares no actual interests with, and indeed she frequently ridiculous him for them. He's still pining for a clone of himself he only knew for a day because he felt like somebody finally understood him. Finally, I'd argue that at this point Dipper wouldn't be able to go back to a normal life. Could you imagine having gone through such eye opening, fantastical and even scarring adventures, and then one day have to go back to a mundane world where no one would ever believe you? If Dipper returns to a normal life after Gravity Falls, his only options would be to bottle it all up inside or quickly be regarded as a lunatic and disregarded by the normal world.

He seems to be able turn things into gold so he probably has a limitless supply.
On a side not I remember an old theory about Bill having some sort of connection to gold and that he was the result of an alchemy experiment.
>>77962306
>Either the writing was crap, or Dipper is acting retarded and Mabel is being an apathetic cunt and/or also retarded.
or the writers just wanted to tell a story about the twins coming to terms with adulthood, putting aside the main plot for a while to have a little bit of character interaction.
for all the emphasis the thread puts on lore and plot and stuff, the show is primarily a comedy that leans heavily on the relationships between the different characters. its usually tries to be more funny or schmaltzy than dramatic.
>>77961966
The Cipher wheel symbol went blank on Tyrone.
A blank sweater backwards Mabel was shown with Lil Gideon, a day after Mabel snuck out with him. He did her hair and nails while she was wearing a hair sweater.
Gideon's foreshadow was on a magazine. The same magazine showed beard hair growing into a man. That same scene Mabel produced a lock of beard hair and denied having pictures of gnomes.
Later, in Mabel's scrapbook, a mirror reversed setting across the two episodes, Mabel revealed gnome pictures do exist.
The sweater reflection itself is likely the clue, not an actual backwards sweater.
Maybe they opted to have Pacifica be the llama. The evidences for that, are something Hirsch said and a painting. It would have to be a late decision, because their breadcrumbs seem to lead to multiverse and/or clone doppelgangers.
So far we've had many doppelgangers in the form of shape shifting and demon caterpillars.
Is it really that much of a stretch to have copies that don't dissolve? Weirdness in Gravity Falls always goes into hiding. If it's a plot twist, they wouldn't tell us outright.
I think Grunkle Stan has one too, and has been using him to run a two places at once scam for years.
Backwards messages, backwards audio, backwards characters.
It seems perfectly logical to come to this conclusion from my pov.
>>77962345
The real reason was of course just a jab at the whole "civilization/the economy's going to collapse so you'd better invest in gold" conspiritard idiocity, but this does remind me that I wish there'd been a few more of those jokes on the show. At least a few Bill lines about false flags in the media.
>>77962366
>From an objective standpoint even within the show's universe, the offer is not that bad.
That depends on your priorities though. If I had to choose between a mundane life but having my best friend with me or working my dream job, I'd take my friend every time.
Plenty of people would make the second choice, but not everyone would.
>>77962457
>its usually tries to be more funny or schmaltzy than dramatic.
As people have said, everything would have been accepted just fine if this wasn't the penultimate episode.
I don't mind it being 100% about Dipper and Mabel's relationship, either. That's exactly what I expected. It just:
1. Had so little weight and skirted around the actual issues either their relationship, which was never Fantasy vs. Reality. Mabel was worried about them growing up and growing apart ("getting stupid"). That was reduced to a single line. No, "Here Dipper, we never have to grow apart like our dumb Grunkles," and Dipper countering with, "We may not live under the same roof someday, but we'll always be best friends," that's what I wanted.
2. The twins' relationship was only addressed in the flashbacks and right after, which was the part of the episode I really liked. The rest of the episode was mostly kind of an 80s/90s parody (which seems a bit off anyway for a girl born in 2000, but that's fine).
I was looking for a big Mabel character episode/twin relationship character episode and don't feel I got it, it's not that big a deal, but a bit of a letdown, that's all.
>>77962457
>leans heavily on the relationships between the different characters
Hello, Alex. How does it feel creating the biggest disappointment since L O S T?
>>77962373
I want to see Bill eat/drink something.
>>77962464
Interesting theories.
However, from a strictly storytelling point of view, having doubles from both the copy machine and clones or multiverses is kind of weak, especially consider the show is only two seasons long. As for Stan having his own double, I think it's unlikely since he has explicitly expressed a distrust and disdain for the supernatural. He wants nothing to do with that stuff. If he ever indeed had a clone, it's probably long since buried somewhere behind the Shack.
>>77960414
Underrated post
>>77962228
>so she'd have no way of knowing how bad it was either
She got a pretty good look at downtown Gravity Falls through this portal, and Wendy was very sincere when she told her the town was in trouble. But I agree Dipper should have been more direct. I blame that on plot convenience, mostly. And, although it wasn't very satisfying, I can accept the excuse that Dipper was caught up in the moment too.
But I do agree with >>77962145 that Mabel's blase attitude when they first found her in the bubble was a big disappointment. It's true Mabel had no idea exactly what Bill intended or what the Rift was. But she did know Bill was a major threat to them all thanks to the family meeting with Ford in TLM. And she certainly seemed to recognize Bill before she collapsed. So why is she so calm after four days with no sign of any of her family or friends?
She's pleasantly surprised when Dipper arrives, but I didn't get the sense she was worried for their safety so much as happy they had joined her. And she seemingly has no interest in what might be happening outside the bubble. Not even to Stan. If she wasn't hypnotized, her desire for escapism should have only gone so far, you know?
It's just weak writing, where they've allowed the needs of the plot to drive characters' emotional reactions instead of the other way around.
>>77961463
It doesn't help there are people who are just downright incapable of accepting Mabel is Alex's pet character
>>77961657
And people still wonder why other people dislike Mabel and/or hate Love God
>>77962662
By comparing Gravity Falls to LOST, you are admitting that while the end fizzled out in a disappointing way, it was still considerably good to a point and thus Alex has some degree of talent.
>>77962680
Do you, though?

>>77962763
>If she wasn't hypnotized, her desire for escapism should have only gone so far, you know?
well, she did kind of have a 'snap out of it' moment at the end of the episode where she realized how bright and obnoxious the colors were and how annoying the same song looping over and over again was.
it could be viewed as her being influenced by the magic, if not exactly outright hypnotized.

What i really like about this episode is the lesson wasn't learned by just one-sided, both has learned something. Dipper actually learned that the reason she's acting horrible is because of her parents made her to, so there's no reason to hate her anymore. pacifica learned that she could stand by herself to face her awful parents and doesn't have to follow them.
This is the kind of character exploration that failed to achieve at The Golf War. Mabel didn't learn anything about pacifica, but at least we've got a little glimpse of issue with her parents. Both development only resolved around rivalry and didn't get any depth like the banter between dipper and pacifica on NMM.
It kinda saddens me because even though their rivalry ends, we still don't know if she's already in a good term with mabel or not, because she still doesn't look care about mabel and her friends when they come to her party. But she's already in good term with dipper, so we can say she'll warming up to her too.
>>77962855
>it could be viewed as her being influenced by the magic, if not exactly outright hypnotized.
The fact that viewers often didn't come away with that impression or even disagree that this is true indicates the show failed to make that clear.
She also didn't get upset after they'd left the bubble, really. I don't agree that Mabel's actually at fault with what happened at all but I think a moment of concern or guilt would have helped.
>>77958258
>MRA>an insult
>>77963014
i guess, though i feel focusing on the negative right after they'd beaten the episodes challenge (escaping the bubble) would have been a bit out of place tone-wise.
plus the whole sequence once they got out of the bubble was compressed so they could get to the shack and find stan and the resistance army anyway.
>>77962855
As uncharitable as I feel saying this, I get the impression that when it comes to how Mabeland works, the writers wanted to have their cake and eat it too.
On the one hand, Mabel's reactions are most consistent with the idea that Mabeland has some kind of mind altering component to it. Like you described, maybe it was just subtle magic, or even Mabel running off the psychic equivalent of a sugar high due to all the pure, instant gratification it provided. But it had to be doing something to keep her some complacent.
But at the same time, they also wanted Mabel to be lucid: capable of making and understanding decisions. Otherwise, Dipper's heroic act of persuasion would be meaningless. For the court scene to work the way they wanted it to, Mabel had to be tuned in mentally and emotionally.
Obviously, those two goals aren't very compatible. So they compromised, and consequently we got something that doesn't quite check out.
>>77962961

Perhaps, but a lot of people were expecting some sort of emotional payoff to the events of Vs. the Future and feeling that wasn't given might be one reason for a lot os dissapointment, narratively speaking. I agree with what others have said in that it felt like any episode where the twins disagree (and honestly less emotional than a lot of them). Part of it is too high expectations, but I also feel that the show is capable of doing better than this.
>>77963164
>But at the same time, they also wanted Mabel to be lucid: capable of making and understanding decisions.
thats the thing though, when you are high you don't always know your judgment is impaired so you make poor decisions based on your altered perceptions. those decisions seem perfectly logical to you at the time and then when you come down you realize that you were being an idiot.
in this case i'd say that if there was any kind of subtle mind-magic going on (not impossible to picture since bill is some kind of mind demon or something) it wasn't putting any ideas into mabels head, it was just emphasizing things she was feeling and amplifying those feelings to a higher level. making her more paranoid about the future, making her more disappointed with reality, making her more resentful of dipper. once he'd talked her through it and she'd broken its hold she saw she was being dumb.
even at the start of the episode dipper had been saying he knew that mabel was smarter than she was acting. mabel isn't a dumb person, just one who was in an emotionally vulnerable place mentally and found herself in an area that provided instant gratification to sooth any fears or discomforts she had.
god damn that is a lot of words i just typed about a cartoon.
>>77961805
The portal confrontation was a close second, that's a good point. I really wanted more with the whole "trust no one" thing, like some conflict between the twins (what was the whole frame shattering thing even about then?)
The scenes from Gideon Rises were some of the biggest I had issues with. They didn't give us any time to take in what had happened, instead they just rush through the scene up until Gideon shows up. Everyone was just suddenly standing in the street with a sad face, there was no conversation or anything, it all felt way too forced and shallow to me.
I still can't come around to liking Ford as a character, for someone who lost 30 years of their life he kind of let Stan down easy (and was even quicker to forgive him). AToTS gave us some really good background on the brothers, but I dunno, I guess seeing Stan grow up the way he chose himself kind of lessens any sympathy I could feel for him.
Pacifica has had the most character development in that we get to see both sides of her, and I think that's what made NMM such a strong episode to me. Sure it's a bit cliched to have the snotty rich kid have a troubled home life, but you don't get to see that kind of moment of realization she had often.
The last episode really screwed up any genuine twin relationship feelings I'd seen between them. Even after Mabel saw that she was living a daydream in Bill's trap, we didn't get any type of remorse for what she'd (mistakenly) done earlier. Not to give off the impression that I'd want something as overly-dramatic as SU, but I've been wanting a character to have a breakdown since AToTS. Mabel came close with her scrapbook scene in D&MvTF, but like the other scenes it just felt like we didn't have the time to let them expand upon it. The actual time restraints of the show, paired with the fact that they have to wrap everything up in 44 minutes (maybe a solid hour if we're lucky), really makes me feel like the finale is going to be more of the same.
I still think Weirdmageddon Part 2 would have been better if Mabel was convinced that her bubble world WAS reality and Dipper was some kind of Bill Cipher trick. Kind of like that Superman story 'For the man who has everything' where superman is trapped in his near-idyllic fantasyland and eventually has to come to terms with itI don't think you're real ;_;
You could still have cutesy Dip and Mabel memories and have Mabel come to terms with the reality of adulthood and Dipper realizing that the apprenticeship would be his version of Mabel's fantasy life, but still give the show stakes and have an actual conflict to overcome. The courtroom scene wasn't enough to give the trial of convincing Mabel to free herself enough bite.
>tfw no corrupted Mabel

Whoops, should read *so complacent.
>>77963014
>She also didn't get upset after they'd left the bubble, really.
That's one thing I didn't mind, actually. Between spending days wallowing in the surrealism of Mabeland, and the way everything turned into nightmare fuel as they escaped, I figure she'd be more or less numb by that point. So I didn't mind her taking the physical destruction more or less in stride.
As for concern or guilt, it's worth pointing out she still doesn't understand her role in all this properly. I was glad she at least acknowledged how badly she behaved inside the bubble.
>>77963407
When in doubt, stroke it out anonaka sometimes you gotta make the material for your specific fetish yourself, whether by commission, requests, or any talent you can muster up through art, writing or voice
Think we should make Hirsch a thank-you card to send before the finale? A nice one. With no Alex-hate.
Even if the show is ending and may end badly, I still appreciate that it exists.

I'd recommend writing. It can be very fun when everything is going just right.
It can also be frustrating as hell when its not though, but ignore that for now.
>>77963342
Again for me it's not that big of a deal but I don't feel they touched upon that at all. For all we know, she just liked the Happy Fun World and didn't want to leave. Many were left with the impression that she is actually dumb, which sucks.
>>77963375
This is what I was hoping for.
It would really give Mabel a chance to be heroic to have to save herself to some degree and having to choose to destroy a more perfect, subtle world because it would help others.
This would also tie up her character arc from TLM very nicely, show that she is a genuinely good person, even as it hurts her.
Mostly this is an issue of wasted opportunities, and kind of a backhanded compliment to the show. There's show much that could have been done. This episode would be great for many kids' cartoons but for this show, we know it can aim a little higher than they did in this case.
>>77963546
>This is what I was hoping for.
>It would really give Mabel a chance to be heroic to have to save herself to some degree and having to choose to destroy a more perfect, subtle world because it would help others.
look, i like the alan moore comic too but i think its better that they did their own thing instead of just straight up ripping off a plot from a similar story. yeah, its not as subtle and stuff but it was a visually fun episode and it had some good comedy and character moments in it. that's pretty much all i ask of cartoons.
>>77963479
The show's really brought joy to me. I'm on board for this.
>>77963486
Stupid sexy AU.
>>77963641
Well it doesn't have to be a shot for shot remake, but just give Mabel a little more agency I guess? Everything felt like it should have been stopped as soon as Dipper told Mabel what was going on, and they only dragged it on in order to show their memories and have a trial.
>>77963737
the memories were some of the best parts of that episode though. also dippy fresh.
Do you think it would have been better if Gravity Falls was three seasons, with the Ford reveal being the season two finale, and Weirdmageddon being Season 3B?

Depending on how the ending turns out, it could be possible that the world becomes more aware of the supernatural, since there is no more Society of the Blind Eye to constantly mindwipe witnesses.

Mabel didn't remember that. She said her recollection of the events was running into the woods, falling asleep, and waking up in Mabelland.
>>77963375
>I still think Weirdmageddon Part 2 would have been better if Mabel was convinced that her bubble world WAS reality and Dipper was some kind of Bill Cipher trick.
That's what I thought would happen. It'd be cool to have the FakeDipper Mabel thinks she known her entire life insist the new Dipper who shows up out of the blue to be a trick by Dipper and help toss him back to "Bill's Dimension" which would actually be the real world.
>>77963733

Yes, I wish we had more episodes with Ford in it.

>Mabel didn't remember that. She said her recollection of the events was running into the woods, falling asleep, and waking up in Mabelland.
Wasn't that before she realized what was going on? Did Bill have the ability to modify memories instead of just being able to access them?
>>77963819
Heaps better, as a fan I'd like more content and I feel the pacing would've been planned out much better
>>77963819
No question. Even 4 more episodes would have sufficed. All you'd need to wrap the story up for good is:
1) An episode with Ford interacting with the Mystery Shack staff other than that thrown together D&D parody. Maybe a good old fashioned Bigfoot hunt or something?
2) An actual Wendy-centric episode where her whole deal is explored a little more beyond badass who Dipper pines for. Maybe that Stan teached Wendy to be a master thief idea Hirsch was kicking around.
3) A Stan/Dip and Ford/Mabel bonding episode, maybe showing us that Dipper and Mabel aren't carbon copies of Ford and Stan respectively
4) a Lil Gideon busts outta jail episode or at least give him a little more time to come around to betraying Bill. Maybe have him chafe at some orders or realize that his previous approach to Mabel obviously wasn't working.
But alas, that is relegated to our darkest dreamscapes and fantasies.
>>77963856
>She is also very definitively not a 12 year old girl
Most definitely.
Its a good AU for cranking up the weird sexual stuff. Sometimes I really think I should try to do something with it.
>>77963981
>who Dipper pines for
Heh
I agree, regardless of how the finale turns out it's going to leave a lot of stuff poorly resolved or unexplored.
>>77963981
Reading makes me sad to think about what this show could have been with more episodes.
>) a Lil Gideon busts outta jail episode or at least give him a little more time to come around to betraying Bill.
I especially agree with this. I'm ok with gideon betraying Bill but I wish we had some more time before he switched sides. He went from trying to capture Dipper and Wendy to being a good guy in like 2 seconds.
>>77964056

>I really wanted more with the whole "trust no one" thing, like some conflict between the twins (what was the whole frame shattering thing even about then?)
A slow-rising tension built between Dipper and Mabel throughout 2B. I'd call it a conflict based on a lessening of trust. Trust was a big theme in 2B, period.
At the end of AToTS, Mabel worries about her future with Dipper. She's losing faith in their seemingly unshakable bond. Stan and Ford have lost all faith in each other: there's a complete absence of trust.
In DD&MD, Mabel tries to bring up her concerns about the time Dipper's spending with Ford. In spite of brushing off his offer to play earlier, her newfound insecurity prompts her to try to reconnect with him. But in the process, she makes a tactless joke at his expense and hurts his feelings. She recognizes that, and withdraws. In Dipper's eyes, Ford is reaffirmed as the family member who "gets" him best. And when Ford asks him to keep Mabel out of the loop, he accepts Ford's assessment she can't be trusted with the truth.
TSC pitted the twins against Stan. They didn't trust him to succeed on his own, and Stan lets his pride get the better of him instead of putting his faith in their advice.
In TLM, neither Dipper nor Ford bring their siblings in on their secrets, even though it would logically add an extra layer of defense against Bill. Ford sends Mabel on what he thinks is a wild goose chase. Meanwhile, he and Dipper enact the real plan of encoding their minds. Dipper struggles with his curiosity about Ford's past, which quickly morphs into suspicion, and then fear. Ford tries to talk him down, but Dipper can't bring himself to trust him and shoots Ford. Ford, in turn, praises Dipper's fearfulness. Mabel returns with the unicorn hair, but that doesn't earn her any trust from her great uncle.
And all this comes to a head in D&MvtF, when Dipper's slow drift into Ford's orbit reaches its logical conclusion and Mabel's insecurity erupts.

Nah, it should be something from the actual show.

>>77965336
At least Mabel admitted that Dipper might've been lying to get her ass in gear.
Honestly the obvious answer is, "Go up to work with Ford in the summers." but you need something for the finale.
>>77965295
D&MvtF was pretty decent, it just didn't have a satisfying outcome so far. I think people wrap it together with the weirdmageddon stuff but it was a pretty tight narrative and had good character moments. Honestly we just needed more time to expand on characters like Ford, Wendy and Gideon to make Weirdmageddon feel more final. I think half the problems we have with it is that we feel like it's ending too soon, before getting us that sweet sweet catharsis. Like a murakami novel, only less surreal.
>>77965391
>Go up to work with Ford in the summers
I really fucking hope that's the resolution and Ford doesn't die, because Dip is in dire need of a friend who shares his interestsand we already lost Tyrone ;_;
>>77965162

He got into a tiff on twitter semi-recently with fans who were jokingly (and not so jokingly) threatening him over the upcoming events in the show post-D&MvtF. Basically, saying things like "if you hurt waddles i will hunt u down and murder u in ur sleep" and crap like that.
But he was offended by their rudeness rather than frightened by the threats themselves. I don't think he cares much about average shit talk online, and he seems to be able to spot empty threats well enough.
Whether he'd find it funny is another matter, though.

Alex is sort of a puss
>>77965592
It might be fine for a while, but spending most of your time with a socially awkward 60 year-old whose only friend is his 12-13 year-old nephew would probably become tiring eventually, no matter how much they shared interests.
>no more shorts
>no spinoff
>>77965738
Dat's why it's only during the summers, silly.
>>77965997
You know, that might not be so bad, especially if Stan somehow managed to still be around. Dipper could study under Ford and go on adventures with him, and then throw a disguise on the old man and drag him into town for a bit for some much needed socialization.
A joke I would love to see in the show that I'll never see:
>Mabel says something and emphasizes the word "five"
>she holds up all fingers in one hand, and one finger on the other hand
>guise alex hates his dad so all the show's dads are bad lol
>Manly Dan is a single father, works hard, somehow makes time for his kids, and cared enough about his childrens' survival that he had them trained for the most extreme emergencies
>Old Man McGucket tries his hardest to be there for his son, but fails due to the portal and the memory erasing fucking his brain
>Bud has a shit child he is legitimately afraid of
>Robbie's dad is an honest man, just has a kid going through a phase
>>77967965
Yeah, it doesn't make sense and is pretty forced. All hackposting is stale as fuck.
Wasn't there a thing in the last thread where most posters had said that pinecest was less of a cancer to /gfg/ than all the hackposting memes?
How did I not noticed this before. Bill blowing up the church tower was a major scene, too.
>>77968089
In the thread before the last one, yeah. It was nearly unanimous that Pinecest offered more than hackposting. That said, it's not going anywhere anytime soon...though fewer do seem to be paying attention to it.
>>77968381
well, it is adorable
>>77968758
Indeed anon
>>77968967
I still find it hilarious that if you remove the incest then this would be the most absolutely vanilla ship on /gfg/. People come up with some crazy fetish ideas for the others, but Pinecest is like, cuddling and holding hands and stuff.
>>77968758
Three years ago I never thought I'd say this, but...it really IS adorable.
>>77969083
Yeah, I'd heard of it before coming to /gfg/ and had thought the very idea was gross. Then I saw all the art posted here and the fics that got linked and now I'm shipper trash. No regrets though, its too cute.
>>77963357
Are you even SUPPOSED to like Ford?
>>77968758
>>77968967
>Mabel will never give Dipper a platonic kiss and tell him how lucky she is to have a brother like him
>>77969555
I think we're supposed to acknowledge that he's a flawed character who made mistakes and cheer on his redemption.
>>77970092
I'm fine with that. The show is great as is, and there's a wealth of cute romantic stuff in the fandom. No need to worry about trying to force it where it doesn't fit.
>>77967965
>>Old Man McGucket tries his hardest to be there for his son, but fails due to the portal and the memory erasing fucking his brain
>tfw we will never see a reconciliation between the two
>>77970092
Don't worry anon, it can still happenlike a little kiss on the cheek
>>77970307
Not onscreen, anyway. The best we can hope for is probably a shot of them standing side-by-side as the twins leave the town, or something like that.
This show has the best representation of cute and innocent sibling relationship. Don't ruin it with your sick fantasy, you incest faggot
>>77971755
Nah man.
It's too cute
>>77971813
>tfw they will never invent a button that makes all pinecestfags drop dead

>tfw you will never surgically remove anon's shit taste
Pinecest is a meme ship. Everyone knows Padippica is best.
>>77972009
Man, you just got even more wrong.
Padippica is the plebiest ship in all of GF.
Candip is less pleb-tier than Padippica
>>77972009
>two characters who have barely interacted
>not a meme ship
>>77972009
>Hetero pairings
>Ever
Oh the laughs. Dipper has got nothing but sorrow and disappointment from bitches and whores.
>>77972055
That's Misha for you
A stupid faggot
>>77967965
mcgucket having a son is weird as fuck
>>77971755
If God didn't want us to ship pinecest, then how come he made it so damn adorable?
A reminder that Bill has legs but we've never seen him walking/running on his two legs
>>77972550
A reminder that Bill has his bodymeats up through his hat- where he was shot which did nothing, so shooting him through the heart would also have done nothing. So Ford's plan to shoot Bill with the Cobra gun was never going to work.
>>77972550
>>77972624
A reminder that Bill has a dick and is probably shoved Golden Ford up his asshole
>>77972049
>>Padippica is the plebiest ship in all of GF.
I thought that waswendip.
>>77972624
Maybe he had some sort of vital organ in the triangle part of his body that Ford was aiming for.

>Maybe he had some sort of vital organ in the triangle part of his body
Bill's eye seems like an obvious target. Given his association with sight, it would make sense if blinding him affected his powers.
>>77953097
Posting the most logical ship.
>I still don't like her though.
>>77970364
Yeah, the kiss..
>tfw we'll never see this many sexy chubs in one single show ever again
>>77973032

It doesn't normally bother me, but Bill's S1 design looks awful after seeing his S2 design nonstop in the last couple of episodes.
I could take or leave the black outline and the bendier movement, but I'm glad they've kept his proportions more consistent since then.
