User blog:The Puppeteer King/My Thoughts On The FInale

Hello Everyone, The Puppeteer King here,

Well we have reached the end, the series has ended and the twins have returned home, Stan and Ford have made ammends and the twins (and the fans) will forever remember the aventures they've had.

If you read my discussion topic called final thoughts, you've seen how I've said that I am no longer going to contribute to wikia or other things but I've realised now that there is alot I want to get off my chest because I still absorbing the ending of the series (then again I watched it on tuesday morning, nobody gets over grieving that fast)

this is all just going to be my final thoughts about the series because the ending and it's credits song still play in my memories and the more I watched the ending and its credits, the less gut wrenchingly sad it was for me but it still haunts my mind.

To get this started, I am going to start with my ship. Dipcifica (Dipper x Pacifica), I have tried and failed multiple times to convince others that I didn't ship these two after Northwest Mansion Mystery and that I ship them but not as much as the actual shippers. Truthfully I really wanted these two to be together just because of how they connected in their episode and I wanted a big romance moment between the two in Weirdmageddon similar to the one between Yoko Litner and Kamina in Gurren Lagann. The other reason why I thought that this ship would of come true was because unlike Candip or Wendip, Dipcifica wasn't shot down or discontinued and Alex Hirsch was still ambiguous about their bond after Mansion Mystery, symbolism wise it also made sense since her name was based on the pacific northwest which is a part were Hirsch spent his childhood and if Dipper and Pacifica went into a relationship then it would symbolise the enjoyment Hirsch had over his time spent on holiday in the Pacific Northwest and how he loved the experiences since Dipper represented Hirsh as a child and Pacifica was based on the Pacific Northwest.

On the bright side at least she and Dipper are friends because they did initially hate each other and it would of been "too disney" if they became a couple that fast and they are both too young for romance maybe if they were 14 or 15 or 16 then we could of gotten the ship if the series was longer but they were too young for this sort of thing. Dipper was still getting over Wendy and while Stan taught him how to successfully flirt with girls but Dipper was not able to manage this skill with love. On the Tv Tropes page, people still believe that the two will still go into a relationship because of the way Pacifica wrote her signature (with a heart) but they ignored the fact that this is a way that some girls write their signature and Candy also wrote a heart next to her signature as well. If Alex Hirsch were to say in a tweet that that Dipper and Pacifica did eventually go into a relationship in the future then I'd be happy but thats kind of a long shot given Hirsch's experiences with Gravity Falls shippings but it was a ship that I really wanted to come true but at least they no longer hate each other and that they are friends. The one downside to Weirdmageddon was how the character development for Pacifica was ignored which resulted in her being needlessly cruel to Mabel during the event then being friends with the twins at the party and in the ending with signature but the easiest explanation is that Pacifica was angry about losing both of her parents to Bill and Mabel was just a lightning rod with her anger and cynicalism and while she was slightly less hostile to Dipper, she was still aggressive to the same resistance he was a part of when she threatened to sue them if she is killed.

The series only had one mystery, who was the author? and who was hunting the author?. We all got the ending to those mysteries with Ford and Bill but there are still some mysteries still around such as Dippers name and Blendin's fate in Weirdmageddon. People assume that Dippers name is Abel because of the credits showing a picture of tree with Mabel + Abel engraved into it. I think they are both Mabels names engraved in the tree to signify that Mabel chooses to be single rather than have an epic summer romance because she realised that she isn't ready to have one because she mistreated friends and family to achieve them. In regards to Blendins fate then if you remember in Gideon Rises, Blendin was seen in the background when Stan drove to the robot crash site, I can guess that Blendin escaped to a safer time because he realised that he can't do anything useful against bill and decided to go to a safer time zone for safety and to live the rest of his life.

The other mysteries like Lebam were just made out of over excitement from the fans because Gravity Falls has been about hidden secrets so we made excessive theories out of misunderstanding character interactions such as my stupid love god relation theory which was made because I made a heavy misunderstanding about Love God and Mabel. Since they were fan theories we probably made our own answers for it rather than expect Hirsch to give the answers to us.

I've said numerous times that I wanted to see the main characters and prominant characters as adults because I think that its the best I can get if I see them grown up but since Dipper and Mabel are based on Alex Hirsch and Ariel Hirsch then I assume that they both grow up looking like them. If you really want to theorise what Dipper and Pacifica look like in the future then watch the first episode of a show called The Libarians which is about a group of people who encounter creatures like Gorgons, minotaurs and magic on a regular basis and when watching this the two characters reminded me of a grown up Dipper and Pacifica and one character slightly reminded me of Mabel because of her jumper and overall personality in the episode.

I've reacted aggressively to mentions of a possible third season or a series reboot. As much as I'd want this to happen but I have come to believe that there shouldn't be a third season because some Gravity Falls episodes have taught me aesops that have changed my perspective on things such as


 * love being not as bad as I think it is


 * to change someone for the better is to give compassion and empathy


 * not all women are helpless or damsels in distress

If there is a third season then they would run out of ideas and if there is a sequel spin off then it can turn bad like how the producers of Friends made a terrible spin off about one of their characters after the show.
 * video games can never substitute life
 * Always do whats right even if you stand alone

We wouldn't want Gravity Falls to end up like The Simpsons where we just want the show to end even though there was classic moments in the first few series. Gravity Falls doesn't deserve that fate. It would be better if Hirsch did another Q&A so that he can at least tell the fates of the characters next summer like Mabel getting a boyfriend, Ford and Stanley making millions in treasure hunting, Soos running the mystery shack, Pacifica's actions next summer or if she persues a relationship with Dipper.

I guess thats the beauty of the the ending of Gravity Falls, it essentially lets you make your own adventure by saying that you shouldn't waste your curiosity and how you should find your own Gravity Falls adventure, both literally by following your own adventurious curiosity and metaphorically by creating your own Gravity Falls fan fic ending for the twins next summer adventure.

As you can see I am rambling again but what I am trying to say is that while Gravity Falls gave us an ending that we didn't want, it gave us the ending we needed (I know its cringey but its the only way to say it). Gravity Falls is better this way otherwise we would grow to hate it or lose our nostalgia for it if it kept getting sequel after sequel or season after season.

To close this off, Gravity Falls has been more than amazing for me but like how a person picks flowers, the best ones are always the first to go. If you are like me and you still have some thoughts about the series then do what I did and make a blog post about all your thoughts and feelings about the series end, If you are bottleing up sadness about the series end then I suggest you just let it all out or get everything off your chest in a blog.

Like I said at the start, I am going to stay for a little while on the wikia but like everyone else, I will leave for other wikias eventually.
