![]() ![]() Afterall, when Ford, Grunkle Stan's twin brother, came through a portal in Season 1, the twins discovered their uncles' relationship wasn't the best, so Mabel developed a fear from this, not wanting to have a broken relationship with her brother. RELATED: Gravity Falls: How the Gnome Episode Examines Rape Cultureĭipper tries to get her out, but she doesn't want to leave, fearing what the future will hold if she does. It is during this time that the twins discover some important things about their relationship, and it's all during Weirdmagedon, an apocalyptic event Bill Cipher started, quickly trapping Mabel in a bubble universe that seems like her paradise. Mabel and Dipper want to plan an epic party to commemorate the end of summer. Their relationship is also put to the test leading up to their 13th birthday party. This is a recurring theme for the two of them, sacrificing their wants and risking their lives for the sake of each other. Dipper also comes to terms with the fact that he and Wendy are not meant to be, which was all the result of Mabel's meddling. He sacrifices his chance of ending Wendy and Robbie's relationship so that Mabel can adopt Waddles. He later realizes his sister's happiness is more important to him than his feelings for Wendy. This leads to a huge fight, with Dipper getting his way at the cost of Mabel's happiness. Mabel wants to relive her moment getting Waddles, her pet pig, and Dipper wants to ruin Wendy and Robbie's date, but they soon discover they can't have both. Mabel and Dipper end up with a time travel device, which they use for their interests. During the episode "The Time Traveler's Pig," the Mystery Fair comes to town. Even series creator Alex Hirsch sees that as a possibility, confirming on Twitter that Wendy could be lesbian or bi.RELATED: How The Owl House Confirmed Its Major Gravity Falls Connectionĭipper has also encountered some similar problems with his crush, Wendy. If anyone on Gravity Falls would have been fine with accepting fluid sexuality, it would have been Wendy. But it's Wendy's chill vibe and "cool in the face of danger" demeanor that suggest her queer identity. While it can be problematic to read stereotypical male behavior as indicative of sexual orientation, it certainly doesn't rule out that aspect of her identity. Many are quick to point out that Wendy was young, so experimenting with boys could have been a stage and therefore her relationships don't rule out the possibility of her being a lesbian.Ī lot of Wendy's actions were influenced by her upbringing in a family of men, from her single dad to her three younger brothers. Although Wendy dated boys on the show, that hasn't prevented fans from viewing her as bisexual, pansexual or even lesbian. Wendy Corduroy - Mystery Shack employee and ax-wielder - is another Gravity Falls character frequently read as queer-coded. By the end of the episode, Dipper realized there was no "right" way to be a man - a gender-critical approach to identity that further supports the theory that he was transgender. That is a pressure many transgender men feel in order to pass as men in society. Manliness" grappled explicitly with Dipper's quest to appear more like the cisheteronormative, binary ideal of a man - as taught by the mythical "manotaurs." He wanted to grow chest hair, gain muscle and have a deeper, gruffer voice. The show focused on Dipper's relationship with masculinity in a number of different episodes. (It seems more likely that Dipper and Mabel were based on creator Alex Hirsch and his fraternal twin sister Ariel.) However, this evidence is thin in comparison to other hints throughout Gravity Falls that Dipper was transmasculine. Dipper and his sister Mabel appeared to be identical twins, which would lend credence to the theory they were assigned the same sex at birth. ![]() ![]() Some Gravity Falls viewers interpret Dipper Pines as a transgender boy. ![]()
