I Was Rewatching Gideon Rises And That Scene In Which He Taunts Dipper By Saying He Has No Muscle Nor

I was rewatching Gideon Rises and that scene in which he taunts Dipper by saying he has no muscle nor brains to fight back by himself without the Journal's help really gets to me...

And you know what? Ignore Ford's biased by society's expectations on a 1960's man: Dipper's greatest strenght was NEVER his brains.

I mean, he's incredibly smart, there's no doubt. But Gravity Falls is not a place in which you can survive with that alone despite Gideon and Ford saying so.

Dipper's greatest strenght was always the same as Stan: it's how much he loves his family and how far he's willing to go for his sister.

That same love was what made him stand up to the weirdness in Gravity Falls and always find a way out countless times. It's the reason he could sacrifice things for Mabel again and again and never once feel like she was in debt. The reason he could rescue her from Bill's perfect prison in Mabeland and EVEN THE REASON FORD WAS STILL HERE FOR WEIRDMAGEDDON.

The only thing able to subdue Dipper's very naturally human fear of death was his love for his new great uncle.

On a parallel note, Ford's strenght was actually the same as Mabel all along. His love for the unconventional and ability to think outside the box.

The same episode Mabel meets her favorite magical creature and finds out they're an asshole we get the flashback of Ford experiencing the exact same thing.

I LOVE THEM T-T

ogmgomgmgo little request of melody and soos from instagram while trying out a new brush BROOO theyre so cute i cant btw if yall wanna leave request here on tumblr u can do it id be happy to play with them around !!

I hate them

dyou guys ever think about memory gun standoffs between them bc i dont

!!!!

it's weird to me when I see someone argue Stan is more noble than Ford specifically because he offered himself as a sacrifice to stop Bill. Any other arguments, I'm not talking about, those aren't what this post is about. I'm talking about the memory gun one.

like, "lure Bill into my head so he can be erased" was Ford's idea. He was very much also willing to do it. The reason he didn't go through with it is because the metal plate would have prevented it from working. The guy who thinks his only worth is his brain was ready to sacrifice that to stop Bill.

Stan and Ford were equally willing to give up everything to protect their family.

The reason Stan did it isn't because he had more heroism; it's because he had less aluminum.

I wanna tip my teeth out

got a major pest problem this year actually

Thanks I'm gonna go cry now.

like. imagine seeing your sibling at 18. and then not seeing them again until you’re 28. and then not seeing them again until you’re both 58. but you’re identical twins so every time you look in the mirror you wonder if this is what they would’ve looked like.

imagine never needing glasses but your brother did, and then in your adulthood your eyes get worse and you suddenly need glasses and you pick out the same frames your brother wore.

imagine always protecting your brother growing up cause he was different and kids picked on him. but you always protected him. and then you have a falling out and neither of you speak for years, and then finding out that in those years you didn’t speak, he was being isolated and tortured by a monster and didn’t think you’d come if he called. but then he calls and you go. and his house has blood on the floor in every room and writing on the walls and his journal devolves into paranoid ramblings. and you can’t protect him because you showed up and he got ripped away. and you can’t even ask him what the writing or the blood or the state of the house means because he’s gone. and you don’t have a penny to your name so you have to clean the blood up yourself and fix the house and live there. so you board up his room.
