This is going to be a long deliberation, but I implore you fellow community member to read the whole thing through even when it sounds redundant.

After some long reflection upon Dipper and Wendy and the current episodes I've come to some more points regarding what I'd like to see happen in the future of Gravity Falls. Some of what I am going to say I've said before, but I'll say again to put it in context.

When this whole thing began we kind of knew that nothing would really be able to come of Dipper's crush on Wendy. We figured that he'd have to move on at some point.

As it is, their friendship is safe and strong as ever. It makes sense that Dipper liked Wendy. She's pretty dang awesome. She cares deeply about Dipper, but she can't see him as anything other than a kid. Her relationship to both Dipper and Mabel is that of an older sister. This is how it must be for at least several years after they first meet and especially during their first summer.

As I have said, I would love for the stories of Gravity Falls to continue long after that first summer. In my vision, Wendy and Dipper remain steadfast friends from youth into young adulthood.

Dipper will have tried to move on but will have failed in every attempted relationship. Mabel is always there to help Dipper through his troubles. While one might say that Dipper had nothing more than a simple crush on Wendy I'd like to think different.

While a young boy may not know much of love Dipper did say that he loved Wendy when he thought she was injured or dying. It certainly wouldn't be at odds with Disney's style for Dipper to truly love Wendy and for it to be more than just a simple and passing crush.

So, I believe that Dipper truly loved and still loves Wendy even after their resolution.

Since Wendy has apparently already experienced a number of failed relationships, it is not outside the realm of possibility that all her subsequent relationships also eventually failed.

I want the character's stories to cover many points in their journey of growth, but let's say that at some point, perhaps ten years after they first met, when Wendy is twenty-five and the twins are twenty-three a glimmer of possibility is introduced. At this point in time, the age barrier no longer exists. Wendy can and would see Dipper and Mabel as equal young adults rather than as kids.

At this time in their lives, a romantic relationship between Dipper and Wendy isn't out of the question.

In my vision as I have said, Dipper failed in all his attempts to move on because he fell in love with Wendy and never stopped. Perhaps she comes to this realization on her own or with Mabel's help.

I desperately want just for a glimmer to exist so that if the show ends I can be content knowing that the possibility for a more than friends relationship exists between the two.

In their youth it could never happen, and that's okay. That summer was only just the beginning of a lot of things.

I know this is a lengthy deliberation and if you've gotten this far you have my undying gratitude.

You must understand that my love for Gravity Falls stems from my connection to Dipper Pines and to what Gravity Falls represents. Thus I have grown a bond to these characters and Dipper most of all. He is a reflection of myself. I relate to him in so many ways that I could be another version of him from an alternate universe.

I hope you understand fellow community member, and I thank you for reading my deliberation on this subject. If you have any comments please share them.
