Okay, so... In my head Pacifica's the only one who's not from Gravity Falls. She's just there cus her parents wanted to spend summer in the town they grew up in. They stay at her cousin Gideon's house A.K.A The Mystery Shack. She then finds the journal and the story kinda goes on like in the show but different. I'm not gonna share the entire thing cus it's gonna be a long one, but I'm just having fun with the GF reverse falls brainrot:)
Anyways, stay sane y'all! Mwah! 💋
Oh, hey there old high school obsession. How long has it been?
when theyre so incredibly meant for each other any other ship with them is just wrong
Dipcifica Headcannon (Bantering)
If Dipcifica dated, they'd be the kind of couple that would make fun of each other's quirks and gestures - (like how Astrid was with Hiccup at the beginning of HTTYD2, all good fun and never malicious) and depending on things it sometimes ends with a fight (though, they make up quick).
This would start just before they start dating, but they're already super close friends.
Dipper would definitely do this when he's teasing Pacifica, (he was making fun of how she would look like when she loses at Mini Golf in canon) especially because of how he and Mabel tease and rough house in good fun with each other, so he'd be more use to doing it as an innocent joke.
Though, it's a hit or miss with Pacifica. When Dipper started teasing her, she'd be genuinely annoyed and bite back a comeback or do the same with his quirks but more mocking but not hurtful, in defense. Dipper tried to not do it much but he just finds Pacifica's reaction too funny. She's quick to adapt tho, and soon she's bantering with Dipper like Hiccstrid was.
There are times when it just hits home even if Dipper doesn't mean to, and Pacifica feels like the jokes was reminding her of the Northwest family shame and action- times like she feels she'd never escape being "just a link to the world's worst chain". So she'd attack Dipper with hurtful words that'd end with them fighting. Dipper would try to pacify her at first but she'd continue and Dipper would lose his temper because her words is just that sharp. They'd stayed apart and cool down, but would make up before that night or the next day.
However, this is super rare and gets rarer still, because they talk about their issues every time they fight, and it actually brings them even closer.
They'd have those photobooth strip pictures where it's just them trying to act as each other in the most exaggerated ways. They'd also do the "copying their gestures behind their partners' back while partner talk to other people, and pretend to not be doing anything when you look back, nut always be caught', tho its always only when they're around friends.
growing up is realizing that dipcifica was actually a pretty damn good ship and holy shit i totally misjudged this pairing.
i never really liked dipcifica mainly because of how it got represented by the fandom, but looking back on it, it would've made a lot of sense and it would've been beneficial for both of them to date each other. and even in a completely platonic sense, their dynamic worked well enough that they could've done a lot more together.
dipper is a very nerdy awkward guy, clearly. he likes solving mysteries and sometimes he gets a little in over his head because of it. and his silly little awkward teenage love life reflects all of these things. that little shrimp was disney's #1 simp, it's actually insane. whenever he'd start to fall for a girl it'd end up going pretty terribly because he'd have no idea how to just act like himself and he'd also become a little bit of a jerk. (i'm not trying to like dog on dipper btw. he's just a kid and these are all understandable flaws, especially at his age and at the time period gravity falls took place in). however, with pacifica, a lot of these flaws are manageable solely because of how they're introduced to each other. dipper hates pacifica at first and wants nothing to do with her, but eventually they're forced to work together and realize "huh. we actually make a really good team." for dipper, this gradual building of a relationship is really beneficial to him. he wouldn't just go head-first into simping for some random girl and he'd also learn to respect her as a person and realize when he's being a little bit of a dick. being with pacifica, platonically or romantically (though personally i think romantically would strengthen their pros more but thats just my personal taste), would've helped dipper become a better person.
this goes for pacifica as well. pacifica's homelife is extremely controlling and it's what groomed her into becoming the mean girl that she's first presented as. as the show continues though, it's clear that she doesn't really want to be mean to anybody. she only acts spoiled because she doesn't know what else she can act like. she wants to connect to people but she's been so forced into this fake rich life that she has no idea how to be genuine with anybody. that's why her having a connection to dipper is so important. dipper is a little blunt, and he especially won't hide that from pacifica because he initially hates her and her family's lifestyle, so this'll eventually help pacifica realize "oh shit. i'm kind of a dick. my family are kind of huge dicks." and we do end up seeing this from her in "Northwest Mansion Mystery". she learns how to be herself, learns who "herself" even means, and learns to stand up for who she is when she figures that out. also pacifica's pretty damn smart???? especially socially???? she could absolutely help dipper do a lot of things when it comes to mystery solving, and with her status it'll most likely be things that dipper could never pull off and never even thought about because that's just what he's used to. they'd both end up learning a lot from each other because they'd be dragged into environments that they're not familiar with, but the other is. and their different perspectives/lifestyles would help the other view their environment in a new light.
not only is their relationship genuinely really beneficial to the both of them, but i also just know that their dialogue and scenes with each other would be so damn silly i can't not say yes to it anymore. i also just personally like headcanoning them both as bisexual so that's a plus for me.
anyways, tldr: i was wrong about dipcifica and its actually really good, i just think people should really analyze their relationship more since the way the fandom presents it (or how ive personally seen the fandom present it) is a little icky and shallow at least in my opinion. yay for dipcifica being silly little goobers :3

Just rewatched the show after like 5 years...
I'm on my writer era pls go read💔💔
hi! i need someone to answer this for me because i've been rewatching gravity falls and remembered that headcannon that said the twins have lake foam green eyes which is a really cute fact if you either like dipcifica or mabcifica, right?
well there's only one episode in which u can actually see any color other than the usual black dot on the twin's eyes (The Inconveniencing), and guess which color it is?
yeah, not an exact lake foam green, but still sort-of green and to me it counts. buuutttt again, if you google this anywhere you'll find they have brown eyes?? so idk if alex said it or it's in some book, personally I don't remember so someone lmk😭😭
i just thought it was accurate lol
as someone with enough knowledge on fanfiction as i consider myself since i used to read at least 3 per day since i'm like, 11 years old, i wanna talk about the dipcifica ones please???
because, you gotta LOOK to find good ones, and they're mostly on ao3, couldn't find much in wattpad tbh they're always a little weird there
the thing is that i found one that's so good???? and i've been obsessed with it and it's like, super long??? literally a series of 4 fanfictions i think? i'm on the third and it's so well written bruh this could've actually been a published book I would've eaten it up
anyways, i'm gatekeeping this until i finish it becauseee i'm mean or idk bye
Well of course they won't say it. Pacifica paid Dipper to not to
This is what completing Pacifica’s quest will get you. (“They won’t say their in love…”)
Pacifica: So... You think I'm pretty, huh?
Dipper: THAT'S what you got from what I said?!
One of the best ships in modern animation. And since this is an official source it’s pretty clear the direction the show would’ve taken had it continued on for another season or two.
i love love love dipcifica
There's also just years and years of slow burn but that didn't fit
Their dynamic is so adorable 💕
I‘m wondering if black or colored lines are better though-
Mabel and Max though🥺
family photos be like:
please give it love :’)
Humanized But Bill stays Evil, takes over the world and Next Gen Children still make his life Hell :)

I always thought that the Gravity Falls fandom was a brilliant and awesome fandom; full of genius people who work together to make amazing AUs and figure out the secrets of Gravity Falls. Unfortunately, today, I think I was proved wrong. I, myself, enjoy just about any ship. I will happily read most pairings, and don't mind at all when the writers sway more towards a ship in each episode. I could be rooting for Billdip one second, and happily wander over to read a Dipcifica fanfiction right after. I will support Mabifica, or even Wendip. I greatly enjoy the dynamics of just about any pairing. SO when I saw the newest episode, I was pleased to see the beginning and end of Candip. It was a perfect portrayal of 12 year old children; crushes that come and go faster than the speed of light. It was good character development for both Candy and Dipper, and their friendship is closer because of it. However, this morning I decided to have a poke around the Dipcifica tag, and I was shocked to see the amount of hate being thrown around. People hating on Candy because she developed a CRUSH?? I'm sorry, but how is that unrealistic? Or a threat to your ships? It was a short plot point that was meant to show how Dipper is more understanding of other human beings, and that he is more comfortable around girls. There wasn't a single mention of Dipcifica being destroyed, nor that there is even any Dipcifica. I'll admit that ship is probably the closest to canon right now, but Alex could just as easily turn around and toss Pacifica with Mabel. WE DON'T KNOW! So everyone just needs to relax and stop hating on each other's ships; Alex will be the decider, and he'll make the right choice. He may break some hearts and sink some ships, but that's the story of fandom life.
I’ve read two different one shots with the premise that people at Dipper’s school don’t believe Pacifica exists lol
"alright dude, so you're flirting with a cute girl... who lives up in the pacific northwest... named pacifica northwest... and she's a rich teen pageant queen? she doesn't come visit you because her parents don't like you, right? even though she's got a private plane? no, no, dude we totally believe you, just making sure we have all the facts straight --"
In The Book of Bill, Dipper has his nightmare about his parents having... Maritial issues? Do you think Dipper tell Pacifica about the possibility of his parents spitting up? I know Pacifica tells her problem with her parents with Dipper.
On another note, angst dipcifica ideas?
Loooong post ahead. I think I got a little carried away.
I like the idea that Dipper and Pacifica, as they become better friends and stuff, both confide in each other - we only really see Pacifica confiding in Dipper in the show and books, which makes sense because she has one episode and one story focused on her (The Golf War was more about Mabel than her, though it was definitely important for character development) but just her telling him about her own problems probably wouldn't be sustainable for a long term relationship (whether romantic or platonic) (he's not her therapist lol)
I realize that's not really answering the question, that was just my tangent about what I headcanon (fun fact about me: I don't have very many headcanons because I like to keep my options open for what I write/draw about - I know headcanoning something doesn't automatically mean you can't ever go against that headcanon, it's just a random thought in my second tangent in this answer) so for if he tells her about his parents possibly splitting up: Maybe. I'd say it depends on how much their relationship (again, this could be platonic or romantic, even if I know we both ship them lol) has developed since the events of Northwest Mansion Mystery and Face It. It also could depend on how long it's been since they met her; she was still a bully to Mabel (and mean to everyone, but Dipper mostly cares about Mabel) and even if both the twins forgave her he might not be willing to open up very quickly to her. On the opposite side, she's already been vulnerable with him twice, which could make him more willing to open up in response to her, especially since it's (if we take his search history in BoB as canon and not something Bill made up, which I am generally inclined to do for when he was talking about anyone other than himself, but there's still the possibility that he was just Making Stuff Up) pretty much canon that he doesn't have friends outside of Gravity Falls and Mabel.
Tl;dr it depends on how you interpret them and their relationship post-canon. I would say that he'd probably tell her. Not right away or anything, but if they keep in communication with each other, eventually.
That was a lot of words, but I guess I have a lot of thoughts about these guys?
As for angsty Dipcifica ideas . . . this one's a little harder for me, since . . . well, I'd say I'm not a super angsty writer, though I've definitely done some. But I've come up with a couple!
The two of them go on some sort of adventure/monster hunt, get into a fight, and maybe they're distracted from something attacking them or one of them pushes the other and they fall in a hole. They get injured and the other one blames themselves for extra angst points! Could probably work with either in either role, though if Pacifica is the one who does NOT get injured there could be angst about her mean girl era, and if Dipper's the one who didn't get injured he could have angst because of his lower self esteem.
Other characters disapproving of their relationship. Not just Preston and Priscilla, who can definitely put a lot of angst (mostly on Pacifica) and you can definitely do a lot of different things with that relationship, but also some of the Pines's friends and family, like Stan, Ford, and Wendy, who can disapprove because she was a bully. Or even the Pines parents if they're a little older and Dipper takes Pacifica to meet them! Why the parents would disapprove, I have no idea. Well, I have some ideas, buuut I digress. This could put pressure on both of them and maybe they consider ending their relationship but ultimately decide that they're happier with each other (and they'll always have Mabel's support. She's the #1 Dipcifica shipper.) Unless you want to take it a really angsty route and they do break up. Maybe they get back together, maybe they don't.
They're dating but they're both super insecure about themselves and this culminates in . . . idk, maybe they hide their insecurities which leads to trouble, or maybe they sense the other's insecurities and try to help them, but it ends up backfiring and hurting them instead. Then they have guilt and even more insecurity!
I think that's all I got for now, though I'll probably be thinking about more Dipcifica angst stuff for a few weeks, but this was fun! I hope the wall of text wasn't too hard to get through and that it wasn't too confusing!
writing for MCSM can sometimes be like
"WHY IN THE WORLD AM I THE ONLY PERSON WHO'S WRITTEN/TAGGED A PLATONIC RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THESE 3 PEOPLE??????"
The people were Jesse, Lukas, and Radar.
Turns out I am not the only person who has written and tagged a platonic relationship between them, but I am only the second and the first one was written in February. Mine was written last August.
Guys, we've had like EIGHT YEARS to write about them.
. . . part of me feels like a hypocrite for saying this because I do enjoy reading Dipper/Pacifica and Harper/Ivor, but in Gravity Falls it's a lot easier to find platonic content to go with the romance.
"And Dipper learned the best place for romance is in a burlap sack."
That quote haunts me daily.
. . . therefore I had to draw them. Though I might go back and edit it some more. (The drawing only took the top half of the page so I drew a different frame of Lost Legends on the bottom but it's unfinished. Also, I misspelled top as otp which I think is funny.)
