The twins have invited her down to Piedmont so their friend can finally have the first genuine Christmas of her life. However, it seems that not everyone is happy to have a tomboy over for the holidays."

Shermie has had a very interesting life! If only he didn’t make it sound so boring…

I added an awesome design by Chakkia !

The Pines Family Tree

i hyperfocused on this the whole day it's now 2:30 am

Also, I put an x mark on Stan because he was technically disowned and his dad (presumably) still hadn't accepted him back when he started impersonating Ford. I also put "Jewish and Jewish-descent" because I know Stan, Ford, Shermie, Caryn, and Filbrick are Jewish but idk about the twins if they're Jewish too even if i do headcanon it so uh yeah.

Sometimes when I think back on Gravity Falls I just find it funny that, even if we've never seen Mr. and Mrs. Pines before except maybe their arms on the first episode, we just know that they're actually a bunch of weirdo but pretty good parents:

They named their kids Mabel and Mason which aren't really the most common twin names in 1999 because they weren't like those other parents who'd name their kids Jennifer or something as Alex said. He even confirms they're pretty counterculture.

Instead of sending the twins to his probably decent father for vacation to get fresh air, Mr. Pines sends them to his (obviously) criminal uncle in a weird tourist trap in the woods that obviously scams people.

Mabel gets to wear one of her dad's souvenir work shirts for her pajamas and I find that wholesome.

Dipper's mom used to put him in a lamb costume when he was still a toddler and he does a little dance which is embarrassing but also pretty cute honestly. He didn't seem to have issues with this until he reached "maturity" age.

The twins had matching Halloween costumes since they were basically toddlers and they seemingly put a lot of effort into them so that means that they're very open with the kids and their creativity and most likely helped them with their more complex outfits or that they're willing to spend extra cash on giving their kids cool matching outfits that they enjoy

The mail the kids send them say so much about how positive their relationship are with their kids.

Dipper blatantly explains in a postcard sent to them that there are cryptids in the town and even begs them for weapons. Mabel straight up excitedly wants to send their mom a video of her shoving gummy worms up her nose.

This probably means they're open-minded enough to let their kids do these weird things and for their kids to even share them with them with little hesitation.

Even with Mabel being initially upset that their parents wouldn't let Waddles stay (Honestly in another perspective is understandable because how are you going to care for a farm pig in suburban California? It might take a lot of work and it's probably not the best conditions to keep an unconventional pet when you're not used to it. Like we all know Waddles is great but practically speaking it's a lot to ask someone to let their kid keep a farm animal.), we know that they probably let Waddles stay anyway after Stan forces Waddles on the bus home.

They celebrate every holiday because Mabel wants to.

Some other observations on how the twins act that could clue us in on how their parents are. These are more headcanon-leaning but yeah.

Mabel's wonderchild personality filled with sparkles and rainbows definitely show that they didn't suppress her weirdness.

The scrapbooking also adds to the idea that Mabel was definitely allowed to be super creative.

Dipper's unhinged mystery solving behavior (honestly forgot how unhinged he really was until I rewatched the show this year) definitely shows that they probably didn't suppress his weird tendencies either.

Dipper, despite his child-aged pettiness (which is normal mind you), is able to handle intense social situations and could even find the appropriate words even when things are a little too complex. The standout example I could think of was learning of the true extent of Pacifica's abuse and how he's able to find a way to give her the courage to stand up against it. Definitely the most headcanon leaning but I do think that this could also be influenced to a more open household.

The twins truly don't have bad blood between them which means that it's possible that their parents had raised them in a relatively healthy (or at least healthier than others) environment. At the very least, if there was favoritism, it wasn't obvious to cause them any resentment for each other.

I could add more but that's all what's in my brain right now.

Unpopular g49/Starla opinion? I’m a forever believer idc anymore 😭

(while typing out this post, I totally just realized my timeline may have been off in my last hc post but that's neither here nor there)

I'm also a forever g4g truther. hirsch has mentioned wanting to regain the ip for gravity falls a couple times during the pandemic, and I think that at least part of that has to do with continuing the story with g4g added in. they wrote themselves into such a corner with that baby, and I want to see where they could take it.

I don't know if this is an unpopular opinion, but I think stan and carla both ended up leaving their kid. I know there's a lot of thoughts about the thistle downe of it all, but if I'm putting carla's decision to leave stan for him in context... carla was a teenage mom who was dating a boy with delusions of grandeur but barely any follow-through. I think she would have been attracted to ideas of leaving her current life behind in favor something nomadic and non-materialistic. so when there's this guy who comes around who tells you things like the best way to live life is to be above forming attachments and to go with the flow, you want to believe him. and unfortunately... lex was just collateral damage.

it’s sleepover saturday!
