Light Mabel Analysis Just From The First Episode Of Gravity Falls

light mabel analysis just from the first episode of gravity falls

when dipper has just read "trust no one" she jumps out and spooks him to ask what he's looking at and when he hesitates there's a tone of surprised amusement in her voice when she asks "what you're actually not gonna show me?" which shows that they are really close and that he's likely never done that before

when she's hanging out with norman she says "daisies? you scoundrel!" and in flower language daisies represent innocence, purity, and cheerfulness. they are also commonly thrown at weddings

when she's in the woods with norman she's obviously disappointed that he's actually a bunch of gnomes but you can also tell she's deeply uncomfortable, for one because dipper was right and she feels she should have listened to him, and for two she was being taken advantage of! she's a 12 year old girl who got tricked by a bunch of men to marry them!!! and she feels like it's her fault for not listening to dipper (it's not her fault, sure she could have been more careful but that's exactly why they picked her )

when one of the gnomes latches onto dippers face she yells "i'll save you!" and punches the fuck out of the gnome. and when they are confronted at the shack she asks him "trust me dipper, just this once trust me" and uses the leafblower that she had earlier injured herself with by practice kissing to take out the gnomes, who she yells at for lying to her and for messing with her brother.

all of this just in the first episode alone shows who mabel is as a person, which is a funloving girl who cares about her brother immensely and also knows when to fuck shit up!!!!!!!! like damn!!! she's so cool!!!! and also a good precursor to irrational treasure, because had mabel not been silly she wouldn't have known to use the leafblower, as well as starting off they're mystery adventures by being what brought their first supernatural encounter on

Proof that Google isn't always right

No one voted so I'm going to take that as a yes. One day I may or may not get around to actually making said incorrect quotes blog, but not right now.

I appreciate it! However, I've already read See A Better Day (so so good, I too recommend it) but I'm not fond of trans Dipper or major character death/sad endings, so I probably won't be reading the others!

I was going to lament the complete lack of longer fics centered solely on Dipper and Mabel's relationship, before realizing that I have, in fact, read one story like that. However, Dipper was so traumatized he acted pretty different.

This is also the story that convinced me I shouldn't read main character death.

I just realized the correct tag is "anti billford"

Every day I long to shake roughly 3/4 of the fandom by the shoulders and shout at them that any relationship Bill and Ford had was horrifically abusive

Am I the only one who noticed just how SAD Mabel was in Mabel Land? She was nowhere near the excitement and happiness she felt when she first held Waddles or when she shares a laugh with Stan or when she admires her smart brave brother. There was this deliberate undercurrent in every word she spoke of a girl whose heart was broken. (seriously MAJOR props to Kristen Schaal for getting that across in her voice alone)

That’s why Dipper could say with complete certainty “You’re not happy here”. And Mabel KNEW IT, she knew it from the start! She just needed to hear the words spoken out loud. Which is often what needs to happen for a person to realize that what they’re doing is wrong.

story time:

I got extremely obsessed with mcsm when during the summer when I was 11, to the point where 99% of my thoughts were about this game. everything was going fine until the first day of school came around and my brain suddenly realized that I cant think about mcsm all day anymore. apparently this was so upsetting that it caused my brain to start melting. Like I felt like I was genuinely losing my mind. I had to grab my planner and start pretending to read it so other people wouldn't catch onto the fact my sanity was slipping because of a fucking block game.

on an unrelated note I got diagnosed with autism a bit ago
