WOW, maybe 5 minutes of her being an ok person., and the rest of her screen time had just been her being rude to everyone for no reason. Either her character arc is the worst written thing on the show or she's just acting.

Tl;dr I wouldn't want any character I think is a good person dating someone who would be as much of a nightmare in a relationship as Pacifica. '

What?! She had amazing character development, a complete attitude change from the start to here.

She was rude at first, but she gradually became to be more likable. If you tell me, opening the gates against to her abusive parents was a complete 360 of her character and it was more than being an 'okay' person. Confessing about all the horrible things her parents did to Dipper was much more than being an 'okay' person.

Here's why I ship Dipcifica:  http://otakusiren.tumblr.com/post/111293776911/im-sorry-they-made-me-i-shouldve-told-you

Gravity Falls has characters that develop over entire season, spanning across several episodes. While it has many episodic stories, there is still a very important continous narrative. I would have been perfectly fine with her character development if it was as you said a gradual development, as opposed to being crushed into a wattered down version of what it could have been throughout a single episode (and the last minute of another episode.) With a show like Gravity Falls, her changes happen too spastically. The writers have shown they are good at what they do, and it would have been smarter of them to provide a little bit more of her change from the end of 'The Gold War' to ' to 'Northwest Mansion Noir'. Because they didn't, the "360 of her character" feels much more sloppy then it really should have. I guess all we can hope for now is some damage control.
