My favorite thing I learned from the Gravity Falls commentaries is that the team developed a set of rules while working on Sock Opera for Dipper to be in a situation where he’d make a deal with Bill and then at the end of the season with Mabel’s deal they had to update those rules to make it Not Bill offering the deal because there was no situation at that point in the season she’d be dumb enough to make any kind of deal with Bill no matter how harmless it seems.

They also mention that if Dipper had just told Mabel about the rift she wouldn’t have made the deal with Blendin either, she only makes it because she really believes it’s an unimportant object in exchange for a small bit of extra summer.

#but it’s somehow still Mabel’s fault that weirdmagedon happened when she was the smarter one they had to change the rules for #(according to the Mabel haters who drive me nuts)#I think dipper’s rules were like he had to be under pressure he had to think the deal was fully harmless and he had to believe Mabel #would really throw him under the bus the same way #mabel also has the Has to believe it’s harmless rule but the main rule was it can’t be bill or she won’t even consider it #and then I’m the bubble it’s acknowledged again that that’s Bill’s very best trap #also I think they mentioned there was a chance dipper’s pressure from the laptop countdown might not have been real life #bc other than Gideon summoning him and weirdmagedon we only see bill in dreams #so Dipper might’ve fallen asleep from his sleep deprivation and bill made up the countdown #gravity falls #good show. love rewatching it a million times
