Watching Gravity Falls with siblings is great.
"I didn't think it was possible to be a worse guardian than Stan, but at least he has some idea of child endangerment." - my sister when Ford brought Dipper to the alien ship.
"That's not up to him, that's up to his parents." - my sister on Ford's apprenticeship offer.
"Is she about to get Bill'd?" - my brother when Mabel is in the forest.
"This show took a turn." - my sister in the episode thats name is like Xqthfqx or something.
"It takes a special kind of brain to come up with this." - my brother on the same episode as the previous quote.
I'm a bit of a character outfit/costume nerd and I was wondering if you had anything to share about what went in to making the outfits for The New Order's season 2 outfits? I can tell that Lukas and Petra keep the more "hero" appearance because they are still active adventures, while Axel and Olivia have more casual clothes becuase their focus has shifted from being adventurers to being leaders of Redstonia and Boomtown respectively. (Also whoever decided that Axel should wear a flannel and a skull shirt was so right and deserves cookies.)
The goal for season 2’s costume design were to reflect two things:
1. How things had changed in the characters’ lives since the first season - Lukas is still an adventurer, but a new one focused on stories and exploration, hence his new (frankly, anime-inspired) outfit. Petra is still clinging to the past which is why her armor is still the same one from the portal arc, just endlessly repaired and cobbled back together. Axel and Olivia have traded adventuring for running their towns, so their clothes reflect that… and then of course Ivor is a ninja now. Naturally.
2. How the server/world on the whole had changed and evolved - Something we never got the chance to show is that Beacontown is a hub city connected to every other town by a complex subway and mail tube system. It’s even connected to worlds within the portal network thanks to complicated and well-organized use of the enchanted flint & steel + the atlas of the old builders. This means that people from all over the world(s) are coming together in Beacontown to make it a melting pot of all kinds of styles and appearances. Characters like Radar in his hoodie + tie combo, Jack’s urban pirate look, Stella’s power suit.. these are some of the looks meant to reflect the increasing diversity of Jesse’s world and move the art direction away from some of the semi-medieval/fantasy vibes that were still hanging around.
Honestly tho
This is basically all of my siblings (myself included) when one of our family asks us to do literally anything
I just wanna hear more of Dipper being a Menace
alright fuck it yeah
𖠰 once he gets back to piedmont, dipper isn't exactly rebellious, but in gravity falls, he got very used to being the master of his own schedule -- going wherever he wanted, whenever he wanted, without adults -- and it absolutely becomes normal for him to just ignore whatever rules his parents try to set about curfew or supervision.
𖠰 dipper plays a game with mabel where he sticks things to the back of her sweaters and waits to see how many things he can put there until she notices. it drives her absolutely insane and usually ends with her attacking him via stuffed animals.
𖠰 if someone tells dip no, he often just quietly does it anyway. who's gonna stop him?
𖠰 one of the reasons he enjoys playing video games with pacifica on call during the non-summer months is the outlet for friendly bickering. like puppies biting each other's ears in an enclosure.
𖠰 as he gets older, dip always carries some kind of weapon on him: switchblade, swiss army knife -- even a box cutter at one point. he never knows what adventure he's going to get embroiled in next and refuses to get caught unawares.
𖠰 he loves responding to the question "dipdop, can you do me a favor" with a simple, "no" -- usually while he's already getting up to do mabel the favor.
𖠰 beware a bored dipper pines. if he's bored, he will make it everyone's problem. best to avoid him.
𖠰 he once nearly burned the kitchen down trying to warm up food. he's put metal in the microwave. he's burned himself on the oven. the kitchen is not a safe place for him.
𖠰 he writes in various codes and ciphers on his shoes, pants, takeout containers—mabel is confiscating his pens at this very moment.
𖠰 sometimes he cuts his own hair and it looks... not awesome. but he has curls so it hides a lot of the fuck ups. mostly.

I would love to read anything you write about them!
I was going to lament the complete lack of longer fics centered solely on Dipper and Mabel's relationship, before realizing that I have, in fact, read one story like that. However, Dipper was so traumatized he acted pretty different.
This is also the story that convinced me I shouldn't read main character death.
Oh cheeseburgers, I lost my keys!
What if instead of cursing we just said random food things
