mabel hate in 2024 is CRAZY...
lets not forget that she is 12...! in basically all canon media she is 12 or newly 13!!..... i dont even know what people hate her for ??? shes "selfish" for wanting to stay with people she loves? for being scared of change?
"it was selfish for her to expect dipper to stay with her!!!" hey go rewatch the whole show actually!... did you not watch ATOTS at all ?? i never see that same point of hatred perpetuated onto stanley when him and ford are LITERAL parallels of dipper and mabel 😓😓
especially with tbob coming out and us finding out that dipper and mabels parents dont have a great relationship ->
- this explains why mabel lied in that scene when she overheard stan and fords conversation. she was protecting dipper
- this also explains why dipper possibly staying with ford would bring up so many conflicting emotions for her, she wants the best for him- and she knows their home life isnt the best, and she knows that their parents arguing really affects dipper, but she obviously doesnt want to be alone.
^^ and THIS is why she gave away the rift. not only did she NOT know the ramifications (this was ford and dippers faults for not trusting and telling her such important information {she wouldve understood, she had also faced bill before}) but she believed that MORE SUMMER = more time with the people she loved, more time with dipper without having to face reality alone.
pre-weirdmageddon pines family just needed some group therapy and communication 😞 some people act like the apocalypse was mabels fault when she didnt even know ?? and she didnt know because FORD (and dipper but ford was makinf him) purposefully kept the rift from mabel and stan. dipper KNOWS that mabel and stan would understand, since they both have dealt with bill ALONGSIDE dipper. cmon guys.
its okay though i still love ford 😇 heehhshweh okay he needs to learn communication but hes so cutie... i could literally talk about this show for hours. someone save me from gravity falls hell.
