While The Obvious Comparison Is Mabel With Stan And Dipper With Ford Both The Younger Twins And The Older

While the obvious comparison is Mabel with Stan and dipper with ford both the younger twins and the older ones all share comparisons with each other.

Mabel and stan are both very intelligent when it comes to people, with Mabel that manifests as a bubbly outgoing personality and the ability to make friends with almost anyone and with stan that manifests as an incredible con artist and salesman but they both understand people.

Dipper and ford are both the conventionally intelligent twins who have trouble when it comes to understanding people and both have an innate connection with the abnormal, both with fords sixth finger and dippers birthmark.

But dipper and Stan parallel each other in their love for their family. Stan, a man with no higher education had to teach himself complex physics and mathematics to save his brother after losing him again. Dipper pushed Mabel away by saying he wanted to stay in gravity falls and went to extreme lengths to save her from Mabelland. Not to mention fighting off a massive robot without help from the journal because his sister was in danger.

Mabel and ford in my opinion share a very fatal flaw and that is their trust. Ford trusted bill when he said that he was a friend and that cascaded into all the crazy shit in the show happening. Mabel trusted bill when he was disguised as blendin and gave him the rift, which resulted in weirdmaggedon. Also side note, MABEL DOES NOT DESERVE THAT HATE THAT SHE GETS FOR THAT SHE IS A TWELVE YEAR OLD. Mabel also trusted the unicorns, even though they were a bunch of pricks.

My point is you can’t just say, “Dipper is meant to parallel Ford and Mabel is meant to parallel Stan.” Well you can say that but you’d be missing a pretty big point.

I feel as though that the main parallel isn’t as much with the characters but with their relationships.

The grunkles were best friends their entire lives until one stupid mistake pushed them away forever, even though if it wasn’t for Filbrick Pines they probably would have gotten over it and stayed best friends but that’s besides the point, and they were only reunited because Stan pushed ford in the portal and dedicated his life to bringing him back.

With dipper and Mabel, I think they learn, not just from their grunkles’ mistakes but also their own. We see that Dipper and Mabel are best friends as well but as the show goes on, they don’t become distant but they rely on each other less. Mabel goes to talk with candy and grenda more then she does dipper, but dipper doesn’t rally have the same privilege. This culminates with dipper deciding he wants to stay in gravity falls and him and Mabel falling out, but they eventually make up, just like Stan and ford

We always talk about how Stan looks at Dipper and sees Ford but like what about Ford looking at Dipper and he sees Stan??

Like at first Ford notices how Mabel is a lot like his twin. She's fierce and laid back and tends to just sail through life with an optimistic point of view. She's outgoing and her with Waddles makes Ford see Stanley in her quite a bit. However it takes longer for Ford to see his twin in his grand nephew. It's something small. Ford notices how Dipper seems to keep an eye on Mabel, always ready to stand up for her should the need arise. And the more Ford sees the miniscule details, the more he sees Stanley in the boy. From his sarcastic remarks to his suspiciousness towards others who come off too fake, to his loyalty to his sister. It becomes achingly obvious that Dipper is like Stan in so many ways. And it makes Ford ache something fierce seeing this boy who reminds him of his little brother before life had come along and tore him down.

And one day while he, Stan, Dipper and Mabel are out doing a field search and Stanley and Mabel are further up ahead chatting and joking around. Ford finds himself looking at Dipper and catches his beaming smile and excited form and Ford has to fight the wave of deja vu because he looks so much like Stanley in that moment of peace. So much so that it makes his throat all tight and he finds himself willing to do anything to keep that smile on his grand nephew's face. That smile that's so much like his twin's it's almost painful because of how innocent it is. And as Ford looks up at his twin and grand niece he mentally swears that he'll do whatever it takes to keep these three smiling and happy for as long as he's able. Because he loves them to bits and pieces.

What do you think Dana has in store for Hunter and Willow in the upcoming specials from the way she reacting in live Instagram Q and A?

I don't know ow the answer to this any more than another fan would, but it's clearly going to be more than I originally let myself hope we'd get. A lot of people have already registered the parallels between Hunter and Willow, and Caleb and his witch!wife, and how karmically appropriate it would be for Belos- who killed his brother for falling in love with a witch- to know before he fully dies that the last clone he made of Caleb fell in love with a witch as well. And for Willow and Hunter to find the happiness together that Caleb and his wife were robbed of.

*vibrating in place*

Okay so, thanks to the lovely mutual @localcanadiancreature62 I've been been thinking about similarities between the four pine twins. Mainly Dipper and Stanley, and fam I think that maybe Dipper takes after Stanley a lot more than he does Ford. Let me explain.

Dipper's main motivations is protecting Mabel. While he loves the mystery and gaining knowledge, at the end of the day Mabel's the most important thing to him. Dipper gives up a lot for his older sister, so much so that when he's possessed by Bill and Bill mockingly asks who'd give everything up for their dumb sibling Mabel without hesitation replies-

"Dipper would."

And who else do we know who gives up everything for their sibling?

Stanley.

Stanley spent 30 years giving up his life, his identity, his remaining family, literally everything just to bring back Ford. Because Ford's more important than anything else. Just as Mabel is to Dipper.

Dipper also has an uncanny knack for spotting con artists. This kid is always suspicious of free offers and deals too good to be true. Examples of this are the first episode when Stan offers the twins something from the shop. And Mabel is quick to jump on board with it, not questioning a thing while Dipper immediately is like-

"What's the catch?"

Or during the Gideon Glee arch, when Gideon was doing his thing at the tent and his advertisements. Dipper wasn't buying it, and at several points outright scoffed at things that were clearly a scam. He's even more critical of it because his Gruncle Stan isn't Gideon's biggest fan and Dipper surprisingly takes Stan's words to heart. Which we see in the episodes like Dipper trying to be a man and Stanley praises him for standing up for what he believed in. And Dipper's attitude immediately brightened at it. Or the moment when Bill offered a deal to Dipper in exchange for a puppet. Dipper was incredibly hesitant and even asked a few times if that's all Bill wanted. Who else is like this?

Stan is.

Stanley is critical of anything that seems off. Always questioning if there's a catch or if something else is going on. He's not easily bought, and neither is Dipper.

And finally Dipper and Stanley believe that family is the most important thing.

Dipper when he's offered the apprenticeship from Ford his first reaction after excitement is-

"What about Mabel?"

Because Mabel is one of the most important things to Dipper. In fact this scene reminds me of the scene when Ford and his parents are in the office about his scholarship and while everyone else is focused on that, Stan and Ford's mom is the only one to ask-

"What about Stanley?"

Anyways, Dipper's biggest thing is family. This kid gets into dangerous situations to protect Mabel, Ford and Stan with everything he has. And is more than willing to die for them if it comes down to it. And Stanley is the exact same way. Just like Dipper, Stan will fight tooth and nail for his brother and nibbings till the very end.

In short I think Dipper takes more after Stanley than we realized. It's all there in the finer details and it makes me feral just thinking about it.

Dipper and Mabel visiting Werewolf! Stan and Vampire!Fidds (who are married by this point, and both working to bring Ford back. ) .

Mabel almost immediately finds a dog chew toy (a joke gift from Fidds to Stan but turned out it was actually useful so..) and is excited that there is a dog. The lie is that there is a dog but it's a outside dog and they mostly come and go as they please.

Stan has ended up showing up to the kids in wolf form. Mainly when he checks in on them.

Stan has eaten a gnome because of the incident with the gnomes and the kids. A warning to the gnomes to never mess with them again. Stan ended up having to brush rainbows out of his teeth for a hour after.

Fiddleford's lies are that he just burns in the sun easily. Always wearing big sun hats during the day.

Stan getting wounded i wolf form in a way that's noticeable even in human form and he has a hard time explaining away.
