He did very well with Pacifica so I have no idea what happened during this episode lol Well Dipper has no romantic intrest in Pacifica (at least not yet), so without that filter he's able to talk to her normally. Yeah but that's exactly why I question it. During Northwest Mansion Mystery, Dipper pretty much did all of the stuff that Stan told him in Roadside Attractions. Being a jerk (telling Pacifica she's the worst), being confident (he was very confident before and after capturing the ghost in the mirror), being funny (he smacked his face against the wall lel), the only thing missing from the list is annoying in a loveable way lol That's a good point, but I think its where these actions came from that define them. Dipper acted like a jerk to Pacifica because she's a jerk to him. He's confident because he loves monster hunting and has an ego about it, and he's funny when he's trying to be cool and serious. The point is these actions didn't come from trying to impress her, they just came naturally.

That's why I ship Dipifica, it feels more natural. The Candip stuff in this episode just felt forced. Exactly. The setting of Northwest Mansion Mystery was more of a natural flow rather than an awkward turn of events. I think we can both agree Dipper isn't as super awkward as he thinks he is. In fact, during NMM, Pacifica seemed to enjoy Dipper's company, she wanted him to stay around for longer during the party and even felt the heaviness of Dipper's words to the point where she changed herself for the better when Dipper realized Pacifica's parents lied about the ghost simply haunting them, that's a big thing for Dipper to do lol

Dipifica is the real deal!

So yeah, I don't feel bad for Dipper overall in Roadside Attractions. He had the traits, I think he just let the thought of Wendy get in the way too much (I mean when Ford scanned his brain, he felt awkward cuz Wendy lel).
