A skinny, grey creature sighted once in 1978. Capable of speech, this tunnel-dwelling beast is seems to desire to be left to itself.

The Flamebel Mystery!

Now, I'm sure you all know who this is. That is of course, Flamebel from Gravity Falls Lost Legends. Appearing only in the story "Don't Dimension It," she's become arguably the most iconic and remembered of the alternate Mabel's we see in that story (aside from Anti-Mabel of course).

However, this is NOT Flamebel! You might already know this, but in case you don't or forgot, given how many years it's been (just like I did), then you should know that this Mabel was NEVER referred to as Flamebel at any point within Lost Legends. If you read through DDI, she's never mentioned in name. Of all the alternate Mabel's that helped Mabel defeat Anti-Mabel, she was the only one who didn't have her name be stated in the story.

I looked over LL again and sure enough, nowhere in the DDI is she referred to as Flamebel. But okay, there's a Barnes and Noble edition of Lost Legends where we see the names of all the Mabel's in Dimension MA-B3L. Surely in it there will be a name for her and it would be Flamebel. Well, not every Mabel in that page was given an official name and surprise, surprise...neither was this Mabel...

In fact, she isn't even the same Mabel here! "Flamebel" didn't even exist in this original line art of the page. She was added in later and neither her or the Mabel that used to be there was named.

So, that brings up an interesting question; Where did the name Flamebel come from if it was never her official name?

Having been in the fandom back when lost Legends came out, I do have some theories. And it starts with this fanart that was posted in 2018 by turquoisespace35.

In Turquoise's post, which was made on August 14th, 2018, she refers to this Mabel as "Flamebel." This was the oldest mention of the name that I remember. And given Turquoise back in 2018 was one of the most popular GF fan artists at the time, it's possible her post helped popularize the name, given it got over 3K notes on Tumblr and also likes of that same amount on Instagram, as well as over 300 favourites on Deviantart.

However, in my research, I found some older posts that may have been where the name initially came from. For one, found this now deleted post from a user named korla-the-kenku that was made on August 2nd, 2018. In it, they list their favourite Mabel's and among them, is our mystery fire Mabel under the name of Flamebel.

I did also consider asking Kiki-Kit; the artist who worked on Don't Dimension It, about Flamebel and if she knows how the character came to be and if that was her name at any point, but uh...for obvious reasons...that was out of the question...

But then, I found what was the oldest post I could at least find during my own research, that used the Flamebel name. And it was this piece of fanart that was posted on July 28, 2018 (4 days after Lost Legends came out), that was made by hntrgurl13.

In the post, she refers to this Mabel as Flamebel. But what's more intriguing is the fact that she made this for an ask question and in it, the anon refers to her as "🔥Mabel," which suggests that before this post was made, the name Flamebel was not what she was known as.

Like Turquoise, hntrgurl13 was a pretty active and popular artist in the GF fandom back in 2018 when Lost Legends came out. And while her post of Flamebel only had a little over 650 notes compared to the 3K Turquoise had, her post is the oldest I could find that uses the Flamebel name.

It's possible there are older posts out there or now deleted ones that use the name, but as far as I can tell, hntrgurl13's post was the first one to use it. I did find this post on Reddit of Flamebel art dating to July 27th, 2018. However, given the OP posted it in May 2019, I can't tell if they referred to her as Flamebel then or added the name in based on the fact that was by that point the name she was most referred to as.

I also found this post hntrgurl13 reblogged on the same day in July, from a now deleted user that talks about Flamebel and while the name isn't used, it could be where she got the question asked to her from that made her post the art where she first used the name. I also found this fanart of Flamebel (but not using that name) posted on July 28th too by Pitopishi; the artist who worked on the story Face It in Lost Legends. But uh...for obvious reasons there too...I don't think there's any chance of asking them about Flamebel either (why did both Lost Legends fan artists have to screw up big time?).

My theory therefore is that hntrgurl13 was the one who came up with the Flamebel name while posting that fanart for the ask she got. From there, given her popularity in the fandom at the time, the post got the name to be used more. Eventually, artists like Turquoise used the name in her viral post and that caused it to stick. Plus, with how wholesome and on point of a name it is to the theme of that Mabel, it worked and people probably didn't bother to realize that wasn't her official name.

I did reach out to hntrgurl13 to ask her about it, but she never got back to me. So, I can't say for certain if she made the name up or heard it from someone else, but it seems she was the first or at least oldest remaining person to use the name that I could find a record of.

At the end of the day, does this all matter? Of course not. I'm not trying to say we shouldn't refer to this Mabel as Flamebel cause even I love the name and think it's super wholesome and on point for her. Alex never bothered giving her a canonical name but the fandom did and she became legendary through it.

But what is funny is how the name became so common place that so many of us, including me, thought it was her canon name and was what was written in Lost Legends itself. I didn't even realize that wasn't the case till a few days ago when someone asked me about where the name originated from and I realized, "Oh...she's never officially been called Flamebel!"

I used to think the Mandela effect wasn't as prominent as it often gets talked about as being. But even I believed for a good while that Flamebel was really this Mabel's name and was in Lost Legends...only to realize that was never the case.

I guess it goes to show; even when you think you know the source of something, you may be wrong. So, always work to make sure what you believe really is based on solid fact. Whether it be something you hear on the news in this divisive world we live in, or just verifying if a character name fans use really is that character's real name.

At the end of the day though...I just hope like we see in this wholesome fanart that mischieflily made for the Epilogue fanzine for Lost Legends, Flamebel finally got to canonically reunite with her Dipper ❤️

And that, was the Mystery of Flamebel; the Lost legends Mabel that Gravity Falls fans named themselves!

The front garden is all abloom with daffodils, narcissi, anemones, hycinths and muscari, and the camellia is flowering gorgeously. And until today, the skies had stubbornly remained cloudless and blue! I thus could not remain in a bleak mood, especially when Spring comes with the sound of Oscar Peterson playing I Got Rhythm!

Your Essential Guide to 2025 Canadian Grand Prix Tickets

If you are planning a trip to Montreal for the 2025 Canadian Grand Prix, get ready for an exhilarating and stylish experience. At Grand Prix Getaways, we specialize in helping travelers create unforgettable race weekends through VIP access, luxurious accommodations, and concierge-level support. If you need insider tips on ticket options, seating arrangements, and availability, you've come to the right place. Here’s what you need to know:

When do tickets go on sale for the 2025 Canadian GP? Tickets for the Canadian GP typically go on sale in July following the previous year's race. That said, there was a 2024 customer presale earlier this year, so if you're reading this in June 2025, ticket availability is already very limited. Now is the time to act. If you're looking for grandstand or VIP hospitality packages, we have exclusive access others don't.

Are tickets still available? Most general public ticket outlets are sold out or showing extremely limited availability. However, Grand Prix Getaways still has premium ticket allocations for select grandstands and hospitality lounges. These include Paddock Club, the F1 Legends Club, and a few coveted grandstand sections like Grandstand 11 and 24. If you're serious about attending, reach out today before these are gone.

Are tickets reserved seating? Yes. Grandstand tickets are assigned seating and offer a guaranteed spot with a view of the action. General Admission, by contrast, does not offer reserved space and is first come, first served. For those who want the comfort of knowing exactly where they'll be, reserved grandstand seating is the way to go.

What are the different ticket options (grandstand, general admission, terraces)? There are several tiers of tickets available:

General Admission: Budget-friendly, standing-room or grass seating with views from various trackside zones.

Grandstand: Reserved seating with varying views (pit straight, corners, or hairpins).

Terraces and Hospitality: Includes gourmet food, drinks, private bathrooms, and elevated views.

F1 Paddock Club, F1 Legends Club, and F1 300 Club: Top-tier VIP access with exclusive perks, driver appearances, and more.

How do I purchase accessible seating? Accessible seating can be limited and must be booked in advance. Circuit Gilles Villeneuve offers designated areas with wheelchair access, typically located near the grandstands. If you're booking through Grand Prix Getaways, let us know your needs—we’ll handle it personally and ensure you have everything you need for a comfortable and seamless experience.
