the cringiest people in gravity falls

I really love Gravity Falls and time to time do some stuff :3

alex hirsch, trying to make a fucking cartoon in peace in like 2010: mabel pines canonically thinks alexander hamilton is hot. this joke is funny because of its absurdity! imagine if preteen girls were crushing on alexander hamilton haha.

history: [has its eyes on him]

Follow up to this. Was going for a duality, two-sides of the same coin type deal - two versions of Quicksilver, Vision and White Vision, Raven using her powers to show Charles his younger version, and two witches a la Agatha and Scarlet Witch.

X-Men but make it Gravity Falls

Looking at Korra from LOK, Mabel in GF, and Marinette in ML, I realize how all 3 of the girls were unfairly scrutinized by their fandoms that was largely fueled by some attachment and excessive comparison to a male character, with a weird Him vs. Her mentality.  

In LOK, Korra’s the successor to Aang. The fandom felt the need to constantly emphasize Aang as the better avatar and complain that Korra had it so much easier than him, downplaying her journey because she had a support system early on. The point was that the two had different character arcs, and Korra had different struggles. 

In Gravity Falls, everyone was super into the mysteries and conspiracy-aspect of the show. Since Dipper was trying to solve these conspiracies, a lot of fans were attached to him, and felt personally upset whenever it seemed like he had to give up stuff to just to keep Mabel happy (even though the examples Bill used to manipulate Dipper were cherry-picking and biased). 

In ML, Adrien’s heavily tied to the mysteries and Agreste plot, which are some of the most interesting parts of the show. People are also very attached to his abuse storyline. Because of this, many people constantly downplay Marinette’s struggles as “not being as bad”, get angry at her for not picking up his “obvious signs of abuse”, get upset at her for being the leader/guardian even though CN has never had a problem with that (his issues are about feeling needed/included), etc. 

Also weirdly, no one ever complained that Mabel didn’t have an exact 50-50 relevance and screentime to the main plot as Dipper, like everyone does for ML where they claim “Um, girls and boys should have equal screentime/importance to the plot!”🙄

Another common complaint I’ve seen for Mabel/Marinette is “Being 12/14 isn’t an excuse! Dipper/Adrien are 12/14 and they don’t act like that!”, without taking into account that Dipper’s flaw is him wanting to grow up too fast or that Adrien’s toxic homelife has forced him to adopt certain habits and mannerisms. Obviously, both girls aren’t going to be like them. Mabel shouldn’t be expected to act older than she does nor should Marinette be expected to keep all her emotions constantly in check, because both boys shouldn’t have been expected to act in this way in the first place. Also the fact that I recall Mabel and Marinette sometimes doing the same shit as Dipper and Adrien, but for some reason, only the girls get scrutinized for it. 

I’m not saying everything about these girls’ writing was executed to a perfect T, but it’s just a suspicious pattern I’ve noticed. Both the girls and guys are great characters so they shouldn’t be pitted against each other like this. 😔

(And no, don’t reblog this post on why YOU specifically hate any of these girls or think they deserve their scrutiny)

I wanted to immortalize the best moment in gravity falls on my blog

the pinnacle of this generation of cartoons
