✨Neurodivergent Pines Twins✨ return at last!! This time, they battle the executive dysfunctions with the power of body doubling!

I feel like Dipper's neurodivergence presents super differently from Mabel's, where he tends to have the opposite problem as her, with finding schoolwork (almost too) easy, but struggling with daily tasks like cleaning. But this doesn't stop them from supporting each other!

I think they also both struggle with socializing sometimes (with Dipper overthinking/overanalyzing and Mabel having social cues fly blissfully over her head) and hyperfixating on stuff SUPER HARD.

Dipper Pines is totally autistic

Hear me out. The mystery shack is a great source of discontentment for Dipper. He thinks everyone is stupid because they believe in the sas crotch and all that.

Which…yeah they kinda are “stupid” but I think they’re also completely fine with pretending to believe in fake monsters because it’s fun. It’s just like magic tricks! We all know it’s not real, but it’s fun to pretend.

Illustrated by the fact that the tourists didn’t like when he caught a real creature. They judged it harshly because it looked boring and wasn’t “real.”

It’s one big inside joke, but it’s not obvious to Dipper because he doesn’t Get It. He can’t pick it up because no one talks about it. Even Grunkle Stan thinks they’re all stupid, saying he conned them. But we all know he’s not a good conman, evident by his constant fleeing all over the country.

He’s not in on it either, because he thinks something else is going on.

Autistic peeps oftentimes(like me) can’t pick up social cues that easily when it’s not directly explained to us. We can observe, but sometimes we get it wrong.

And we feel a need to correct incorrect information. Not from a selfish perspective, it’s just Not Correct, and it should be Correct.

That’s how Dipper feels to me, at least.

it's been five years and Ford and Dipper's dynamic in the show is still CRIMINALLY underrated tbh... just love to see these traumatized autistic nerds help each other heal yknow?

Sorry it took a while to respond, this one got away on me and became more of an almost complete illustration than intended ;^^ Anyway, here’s some post-Weirdmageddon (maybe the day before Dipper and Mabel’s birthday so Stan’s doing well with his memory by this point) Pines and some Dipper and Ford having a moment of rest together for all of your traumatized autistic nerd needs :D

All of the Pines twins are neurodivergant and I will fight you on it!!

Stan and Ford are autistic, Mabel and Dipper have ADHD!

Neurodivergent mystery twins return, at long last!! These two supporting each other is everything to me 🧡🩷

I imagine Mabel would get diagnosed way before Dipper, since her executive dysfunction effects her schoolwork (and she's more hyperactive) while Dipper's has more to do with self-care and cleaning. Fortunately, this does mean he has an understanding sister!

Neurodivergent Pines twins, as per usual! 💜💙

If my artstyle looks super inconsistent here, it's because I drew some of it months ago and just finally finished it now lol! Happy disability pride month!!

Midnight Tales

Requested by @nour386: Ford comforting Dipper after a nightmare.

I have this headcanon that whenever Stan or Ford would have a nightmare as a kid they’d sneak down to the kitchen and have a snack and tell funny stories and joke around until whoever had the nightmare was ready to go back to sleep.

When Ford went upstairs to get something to eat, he didn’t expect to see his great nephew sitting at the kitchen table, quickly clicking a pen and staring at the surface of the table.

“Dipper?” Ford spoke. The boy jumped slightly and looked up, but seemed to calm a bit at seeing who it was.

“H-hi, Grunkle Ford,” Dipper greeted, his eyes darting back down.

“What are you doing up so late, my boy?” Ford asked.

“Ha-had a nightmare,” Dipper answered. “Di-didn’t want to wake Mabel.”

Ford frowned slightly, sliding into the chair besides Dipper. He searched for words, carefully planning out what he should say. He played with a loose thread from his sweater and made a mental note to ask Mabel if she could fix it.

“Would you… like to talk about it?” Ford asked. Dipper shook his head. Ford nodded and slowly stood up, going to the kitchen and returning with two sandwiches. He set one down in front of Dipper. The boy looked up at him and he smiled comfortingly. Dipper gave a shakey smile and took the sandwich, biting into it.

“Thanks,” he said quietly.

“You’re welcome,” Ford nodded, taking a bite of his own sandwich. The two of them remained silent for a bit. “Did I ever tell you about the time Stanley and I found the New Jersey Devil?”

Dipper shook his head, although he look intrigued.

“Well, our parents didn’t believe that we saw it, but I swear to you, we really did find it,” Ford began.
