I like how we interpretate Dipper and Mabel as teenagers but they're actually 12 year olds. I mean, i have a 12 year old brother and I wouldn't dare shipping him or making him date, for @^%*'s sake he watches Doraemon on TV! But to be fair, the twins and the other 12~ year olds are shown to act as 15 year old teenagers and the fact that they're voiced by adults adds even more to the effect.

This is entirely true. [warning: rant incoming] The reason people ship in Gravity Falls is because the show gives them excuses to ship. Without the Dipper / Wendy subplot in season 1, the number of shippers would be way less than it is now (although without it Wendy would practically not be a character, which is unfortunate). I know this is off topic, but has anyone noticed how ships tend to stem from one episode in particular? There was dipper x wendy before The Inconveniencing, there was no Dipper x Candy before Summerween, etc. (although i'm still trying to figure out where the sick minds that came up with pinecest got their ideas)
