You know, kids used to make fun of my birthmark before I started hiding it all the time.

Alright. This is an addendum to the previous Dipperpost that I felt deserved its own topic. It has to do with a certain fantheory that was introduced to me in the discord following the episode Dipper Vs. Manliness. Initially I was dismissive at best, but the more of this series I watch the more plausible it becomes.

Is Dipper Pines subtly but deliberately coded as a transgender character?

Now, of course I’m aware that there’s never anything close to explicit confirmation of this, either in the show or outside of it, but there’s enough circumstantial evidence to definitely raise my eyebrows.

Over the course of season 1 and the shorts, we’ve learned the following:

Dipper has gone by an androgynous nickname since well before the age of five, and has completely abandoned his legal name.

He has always wanted the name Tyrone.

When he confronted and annoyed a distracted Manly Dan Corduroy, this happened:

He is insecure about the pitch of his voice, and even though he’s good at impressions and modifying his vocal tone, he still desperately wishes for a deep, extremely masculine voice.

He spends an entire day with dangerous monsters in an attempt to learn how he should go about being masculine.

When he and Mabel swap bodies, she begins to overdramatically pretend to vomit in the toilet. Meanwhile, he’s cowering in the corner doing this:

Mabel has an obnoxious habit of picking at his masculinity in ways that are plausibly deniable but specifically targeted at his insecurities. Note the placement of her fingers:

He ends the big heartfelt conversation with Wendy in Double Dipper with the line “I guess we’re both freaks, huh?”

If Stan and Stanford are identical twins (more on that later), that adds fuel to the fire. Twinning is partially genetic, but there’s no correlation between likelihood of fraternal versus identical twins. Therefore, if the Stans are identical it only raises the likelihood that Mabel and Dipper are also identical. Meaning they both presented the same sex at birth.

And finally, there’s the first seven minutes of Dipper Vs. Manliness, home to the following interactions:

Mabel directly going after his masculinity,

Dipper completely freaking out and reflexively covering his chest when Stan walks in on him,

and finally this bizarre conversation which stood out to me at the time as being paranoid, forced, and unusually unfunny in a show that crams humor into every second of airtime. 

Take a close look at Dipper’s facial expressions during all of these. None of this is casual or out-of-context, as someone spent hours drawing each one of those faces to the last detail. 

Now, obviously, all this “evidence” is circumstantial, and there are counterpoints. For one thing, Dipper seems to expect a reasonably “normal” male puberty, which would be extremely unlikely if he were on some kind of hormone treatment. Secondly and perhaps more importantly, Dipper Vs. Manliness is one of a very small number of episodes to not directly credit Alex Hirsch as a writer, which means the subtext of that episode is of slightly dubious canonicity.

Ultimately, I’m on the fence on this one. At the beginning of writing this post I was leaning about 60/40 against the theory, but the more research I do and the more close rewatches of particular telling scenes I get, the more plausible it seems. 

In the end this comes down to opinion and I don’t think there’s a right or wrong side of this particular question, but it’s definitely something I will be considering as we move forward.

I KNOW I NEED THEM BUT I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO DOWNLOAD SHIMEJIS. DO I NEED A PROGRAM??? WILL IT EVEN WORK???

✨LOOP CRITTER SHIMEJI!✨

IT'S FINALLY DONE!!!

Finally, you can have a critter of your very own! Or 50 of them! Your call!

Looplet features a couple more traits than your standard shimeji, including some interactions, a hotspot (so you can pet them) and adjusted chances for various animations to play. Ultimately, they'll make doing anything on your computer 5x harder by running around and distracting you constantly :)

This shimeji contains vague spoilers for lategame In Stars and Time, but you can probably get away with using them if u haven't finished the game, since they are so so vague. Still, be mindful of this if you care about spoilers!

To use the shimeji simply download, unzip, make sure you have Javascript 8 installed, and doubleclick the jar file inside the folder! If you have any other issues running the shimeji, please consult the readme txt inside the folder.

ALSO! If you encounter any bugs while using the shimeji, please let me know! Editing the code was a bit nightmarish (there's so little documentation online) so it's a bit held together with duct tape and I wouldn't be surprised if anything went wrong. As a side note, yes the 'dragging' animation will delete one of the looplets if cloning is disabled, unfortunately there's nothing I can do about that one 😔

In any case… have fun, everyone!

Brief Little Drabble

Mabel you've made me want to do something again. How dare you/lh

Mabel -- @drifting-stars-mabel Dipper -- @drifting-stars-dipper (me actually, go check it out) McGucket -- @it-is-unseen (sorry for the ping i just got inspired)

Dipper's not sure why he's running or why his heart is beating so fast. He's panicking, and it's a familiar feeling at this point, spurred on by months of wandering the multiverse, months of seeing horrible things and not sleeping due to the pervasive nightmares.

But whatever he's running towards is worse, and he can't explain why it is, but he also can't shake the feeling.

Mabel, Mabel, Mabel, some part of his brain is whispering, the part that tells him when there's a monster behind him or when he's going to have a particularly bad nightmare. Mabel, Mabel, Mabel. She's in danger, isn't she? She has to be. He wouldn't be able to hear his heartbeat in his head if she wasn't.

And she's been so bad recently. So stressed and uncomfortable. She won't tell him what's wrong and it hurts because even if she says she trusts him, it doesn't feel like she does. It briefly crosses his head that she's protecting him, but he shakes that thought away. It's not that it's wrong - it's that he can't afford distractions right now.

The communicator in his vest screeches with feedback, and he follows it, turning it down slightly as it gets louder and louder, more staticky and more staticky, more and more persistant and keeps just getting loude-

Mabel.

She's standing in front of a man who looks like Fiddleford McGucket when he was younger. On the memories they watched. He's holding the memory gun to her head.

"Ready to forget, little lady?" he's asking, and Dipper's running, he's pushing himself as hard as he can go.

Mabel swallows audibly, or maybe she doesn't and he's just imagining it based on the little lump in her throat and the minute bob of her head. Her hands are shaking so badly he can see it as he runs towards her.

"Y-yeah. I think I-"

"MABEL," he's screaming, wedging his body between her and the young man McGucket, batting the gun away with one hand. His chest is facing her and he turns slightly to fix McGucket with a glare with all the rage in his tiny little body. So, so tiny, so helpless, so pathetic.

"Dipper?" Mabel asks, her voice breaking in a way that her voice never does. "W-what are you doing?"

"What am I doing? Mabel, what are you doing? That's the memory gun. Were you really gonna go behind my back like that? Just wipe your memory?"

"Dipper, you weren't supposed to be here, I-"

"

I wasn't supposed to be here? Oh, so you're upset at me for stopping you from wiping your memory? Mabel you know what that thing does to people. You were there when we got McGucket's memories back. That- that thing drives people insane! It does the same thing that drugs in movies always do. Do you wanna end up like Old Man McGucket? Mabel, I-I can't believe you. You went behind my back to do this. To wipe your memories. Would it have stopped here?"

"What are you-"

"Would you have just wiped this? Would you have wiped something else next?"

"No, Dip-dop, I was just gonna wipe this one thing."

"Oh, really? And you wouldn't wipe anything else? Bill possessing me? Gideon kidnapping you in a giant robot? Anything?"

"No, really."

"I don't believe you."

"Dipper, you don't understand," she pleads, her voice cracking. "I'm a wreck over this. I-I can't sleep, I can't eat, I can barely think." She lifts her shaking hands. "I'm a mess, Dipper, I need this. I just, I just need it this once. You don't understand what I've been through, what I'm struggling with."

"I don't understand? Mabel, I've seen shit too," he says, cursing without even thinking. Her eyes go wide but she doesn't stop him. "Do you know what I've been through? I haven't slept in literal months. Sure, I've tried, but that's no excuse for actually doing it. Mabel, I can't even touch you without being terrified you'll turn to bugs in my hands."

His hands shake as he lifts them, nearly as much as hers do, and a flash of panic rushes through him, the intrinsic fear of her dissolving into a mass of wriggling creatures, writhing in his hands.

He grabs her shoulders, holding her arms as steady as his own trembling ones can manage.

"We're both suffering, Mabel. I may not know what you're going through, but I can. I can learn. I can listen. Just- just tell me, Mabes. Let me into your messed up head."

"I..." she glances behind him, and belatedly he remembers that he shoved McGucket to the side to get to her. He glances at him to see McGucket with his arms crossed, tapping one finger on the memory gun.

"Are y'all done yet?" He makes a pointed expression. "I offered to help, not watch whatever this slop was. Little lady, do y'all want yer memory wiped or not?"

"I..." she glances back at Dipper. He's so close to her, and it's terrifying him but he does nothing but hold her closer.

Mabel stops shaking.

"Thanks for offering, Mr. McGucket. I... I think..." she takes a deep breath in. Her arms wrap around Dipper and he's so happy she's chosen him.

Then she's pulling him to her chest, one hand on the back of his head.

"I think you should do us both."

The memory gun hurts. He forgets it in seconds.
