Escape from reality

Redraw of the promo art !

[cartoonfan7]

Gonna be honest, I'm a bit disappointed that the fandom hasn't really tried to extrapolate what a Dipperland would be like, a dream bubble prison meant to entice specifically Dipper into staying the way Mabelland did for Mabel, particularly since we know what Mabelland was originally going to show Dipper thanks to the episode commentaries. I'd like to think that in contrast with Mabelland, which was very obviously indulging in Mabel's desire to escape into fantasy and never grow up, to the point that Mabel is somewhat aware of what Mabelland is doing, if not to what extent, why, or what's really outside of it, Dipperland would essentially leave Dipper in the dark about being in a prison and essentially play an idealized version of his life on fast-forward, where he and Mabel get to stay in Gravity Falls, he gets to study under Ford, their parents move to Gravity Falls, and several other things happen that sound too good to be true if they happened all at once, but the time skips/dream logic causes Dipper to not question it that much. Like, Ford eventually bringing Tyrone back, for example.

I’m surviving solely on day dreams and fantasies at this point.

Okay but can we talk about how this is LITERALLY what happened to those dream boy high guys at the end of escape from reality in gravity falls

One Mabel Pines criticism that I hear all the time and drives me absolutely insane is the existence of Dippy Fresh

"MABEL REPLACED HER BROTHER FIRST CHANCE SHE GOT!" They cry.

Did you all watch the episode?? She was hypnotized by Bill. That's why Dippy Fresh existed, it wasn't Mabel, it was was Bill--or rather Bill's influence on Mabel.

Mabel being hypnotized isn't even like a "well if you read between the lines and do some critical thinking, it becomes clear" thing either. It's legit spelled out for us in the episode:

Dipper yells at Mabel "Bill's got you hypnotized or something!"

After the sibling hug, Mabel blinks several times and suddenly realizes she's been "listening to the same song an entire week"

This is so damn clear, what more could you want to convince you that she was essentially under a spell????

I think the only thing more they could do to make it clearer would be to either have Mabel look straight at the audience and say "I was being hypnotized by nacho demon" or for Bill to look straight at the audience and say "I have Shooting Star in under a spell, she's completely hypnotized."

Watching this scene has become part of my daily routine

For those few minutes everything is right with the world

Thank you Andy and Danai, thank you for giving me a break from reality and a break from the world

Re-watching Richonne scenes help me get through the day ❤️

What Fake Wendy of Mabeland means for Wendippers?

While some people can say it's the end of Wendip, explaining that it signals that he completely moved on from her as a crush, I also remember that Wendippers thought there was still room to think otherwise.

For example, it can mean that Dipper simply noticed something went wrong compared with her after getting out of the bunker. It can be another sign, such as he learned how to respect her and that was how he realized that Wendy he met was fake. Other ideas would follow depending on people.

Feel free to suggest and share your thoughts!

i escape and i fade a hundred times a day into rose gardens and evergreen forests as the world i know has turned into desolate badlands rotting and burning every direction i look; my inner universe is the only place safe for me

but when i must step back into the monochrome landscape i reside in, what good does the constant escape inward do?

hey so if you haven't listened to the adventure of the deceased doctor yet you are missing out on all kinds of time travel shenanigans, multiple versions of sherlock, and a surprise villain that had me pacing around my apartment at 3:30 in the morning
