Whenever I need to laugh, I just look up WIT animation Aot official art, every time they came out with more art, every person was at the crime scene.

ESPECIALLY Levi’s official art. why was he acting so zestylicious for these drawings.

Like I get it, this was made back in 2012-2014 but damn 😭

Rlly had him out here looking like this

2020-2021 was absolutely insane and crazy to me, cause wdym when I was a teen I was literally running a whole suicide hotline on discord for people who were complete strangers and were way older than me at 3am.

They always had these pfps and were called ‘ace’ or ‘axel’, had phantom touch and had a million and one triggers words.

If I was given a penny for the amount of times I’d go and try to read angst and it has some type of smut in it, I’d be richer than Elon musk.

This also goes for reading fluff to. Like PLEASE NO MORE SPICE.

My opinion on the “weirdmageddon was Mabel’s fault”

Just a heads up (please read!)

This is my first post, so I’ve been really anxious about actually posting it, but I decided to go for it. I love in depth and passionate conversations, especially taking both complex and simple narratives and looking at them realistically while also looking at the bigger picture. Since this is my first post, I want to make it clear that this is a safe space! If you’re planning to respond, please keep that in mind.

This post is not about “good guy vs. bad guy.” It’s just my take on how everyone had a role in Weirdmageddon. If the comments and discussion become too negative, I might delete this, but feel free to share your opinion!

I’ve been slowly getting back into Gravity Falls over the past few months, watching a bunch of TikToks and Tumblr posts about people’s opinions on the show. One of the discussions I keep seeing (especially on TikTok) is whether Weirdmageddon was Mabel’s fault. Personally, I agree to disagree.

Personal experience

As someone with a twin, I can say that your twin is literally your first friend from birth. I can’t imagine going through my teen years without my twin sister(even though she’s a high pain). Those years are already hard and stressful ( my personal experience) , so the idea of going through them alone would be terrifying. That’s why I understand why Mabel didn’t want Dipper going off with Ford. He had only known Ford for about a week(maybe even less, I’m not too sure), whereas she had been with Dipper since before they were born. It makes sense that she was sad, mad, and scared about the idea of losing him to someone who was practically a stranger.

Being Self centered

At the same time, I also think Dipper didn’t fully understand what it would be like to live with Ford. I’m sure that ford didn’t have any malicious intentions with giving the offer to dipper, don’t get me wrong, but Ford is self centered and I think everything he does is ultimately for his own benefit. He called up Fiddleford to help build the portal, stripping him away from his wife and kids. He only reached out to Stan because he wanted the journals destroyed. It wouldn’t be surprising if he planned to use Dipper’s knowledge of Gravity Falls’ anomalies for his own purposes.

(I’m not saying that he would’ve done that, it’s just a possibility!!)

Fords paranoia

Ford is also incredibly paranoid. Even before we meet him, his journals warn not to trust anyone in Gravity Falls. He later tells Dipper the same thing in Season 2. His paranoia also makes him secretive, especially about important things like the rift, his time in the multiverse, and Bill Cipher himself. If he truly wanted to keep everyone safe, he should have informed them about the dangers of the rift and other threats in the forest.

Filbrick Pines

That being said, I believe Ford’s self-centeredness has a reason behind it. I’d even argue that we can trace the blame back to Stanford and Stanley’s father. He was neglectful and clearly had a favorite, which never ends well with siblings. If he had given them equal attention, not kicked Stanley out, and been a better father overall, maybe the twins wouldn’t have had such a bad relationship and could have lived a normal life.

Also, let’s not forget that Mabel didn’t even know about the rift. Ford was too paranoid to tell anyone except Dipper. On top of that, Mabel and Dipper had already made amends with Blendin Blandin back in Season 1, so there was no reason for her to be suspicious of him. Mabel is emotionally intelligent, but that also makes her an easy target for villains because of how accepting and caring she is.

Mable’s selfishness

Even though I don’t think Weirdmageddon was all Mabel’s fault, that doesn’t mean I’m saying she’s blameless. She definitely played a role, and she was selfish in that moment. But I’d argue her actions were similar to how Stan was selfish when he ruined Ford’s science project as a teenager. Mabel should have been more considerate and not given away Dipper’s personal belongings so easily.

And, of course, let’s not forget the biggest culprit ,Bill , because, well, we all know why. (He’s hilarious tho, one of my favorite characters)

Overall, I don’t think Mabel should take full blame. Weirdmageddon was most likely a domino effect, with many different people’s actions leading up to it!

Pleaseeee tell me your thoughts!! I would love to know, I’m not a full on expert on gravity falls, I’m just curious to see what others think and thought this would be a good conversation starter, I might missed some very important details so please let me know, I tried to include everything!
