I don’t think Dipper is necessarily choosing Wendy over Mabel. It’s moreso that same kid fear that all kids go through, of being seen as a child rather than a mature “adult”. It’s a feeling adults get too. Dipper’s main issue is wanting to grow up too fast whereas Mabel’s is wanting to indulge in childhood far too much. Neither are really right.
Yeah, I feel like that's definitely what the show was going for. Mabel doesn't want to grow up, Dipper wants to grow up as soon as possible. Mabel's story is all about accepting that growing up is okay while Dipper's story is all about learning that he should appreciate childhood while he can, because he will regret missing out on it later. I love how both can be really good for kids to relate to. I always related to Mabel's fear of growing up.
@@VenhedisKaffas I was a bit of both. When I was young I was like Dipper and then when I got older I became like Mabel. Reasonings for both being a bit different of course, but both stemmed from the same fundamental issues
I just realised, according to the calendar Stan is holding, this takes place a week after Double Dipper, since the party was on the 15th of June. Added up, Irrational Treasure is one full day. Time Travelers Pig is an afternoon. Fight Fighters is maybe 2 or 3 days since Wendy went camping. And Little Dipper is one day. So 4 episodes happened in that span of a week.
Fun fact: The Summerween Trickster is a homage to 'No Face' from the film 'Spirited Away' & his voice actor is Jeff Bennett. I love how they foreshadowed how Soos popped out of the Tricksters using Waddles earlier
No-Face’s name can also be spelled “Noh-Face”, because his face is literally a Noh theater mask. Not relevant here, I just like trivia, and puns, and trivia about puns.
The code translates as "BROUGHT TO YOU BY 'HOMEWORK: THE CANDY." Also, according to the official copy of Journal 3, Dipper acknowledges the Summerween Trickster's resemblance to their own in-universe version of Spirited Away, 'The Crabby Girl Who Did Chores In Spirit Town.' It's Mabel's favourite movie, having watched it 31 times.
*Fun Fact:* The Disney execs being the pricks they are caused Alex so much trouble with requesting edits and censorship. The flyer for the party was meant to say *Spin-the-Bottle* and S+P didn't approve of it . . . *Alex:* Can I place on the flyer instead . . . Not S+P Approved? *Disney:* S+P approves of this
I’ll be honest It made an even better joke. I’m Normally against censorship but by doing that they not only made a joke at the expense of S&P, took a bit of petty revenge, and they made it so that ppl could imagine ANYTHING happening at the party. It could be things that are far worse than spin the bottle.
If I remember correctly, this episode was because Disney always had their TV shows do a Halloween special. So Gravity Falls had to do one! But obviously...Halloween is in the fall not the summer, so instead they added lore to gravity falls that the people of gravity falls love Halloween so much they made a second one! I really love that little work around and it adds some more character to gravity falls (like it needed anymore? 😂)
I laughed so hard when Soos crashed into the Trickster and asked "That was not a pedestrian, right?" And that batteries scene was so forced that it made it funnier cause if how ridiculous it is. Can't wait for more Soos one liners.
Candy is voiced by Niki Hyun who also voiced BMO. She has a very distinct voice like Charlyne Amanda Yi, the voice actor for Ruby and the Three Gem deity in Amphibia
For the record the voice actress for Mabel Pines is Kristen Schaal. She also voices Louise Belcher from Bob's Burgers as well as the Triceratops from Toy Story 3. Just so you know.
Personally out of all the side villains of the show, my favorite has to be the Summerween trickster. He has the perfect amount of creepiness for the episode, the reveal that he’s candy was great, he’s a wonderful homage to No-face, and Jeff Bennett rocked the role.
1:27 omg I loved lumberjanes so much as a kid it was literally my first introduction to lgbtq+ characters (so ofc my homophobic mother took it away loll) so happy you can read it now!
Fun fact: That white stuff that sometimes appears on old or cheap chocolate is called "chocolate bloom" and it happens when either the fat or the sugar in the chocolate separates from the chocolate. If the happens the chocolate should still be okay if ate it, but if didn't want to that's understandable.
When you get done with 'Gravity Falls' you should watch 'Over the Garden Wall' it is a 10 episode series but it is very good (especially around Halloween).
Fun fact: A couple years ago me and my friends loved this show so much we celebrated summerween and one of my friends actually accidentally broke my leg.
This episode actually contains a giant hint to the main mystery of the series. So it’s prob one of the most impt season 1 episodes, tho for some it doesn’t become obvious until a rewatch.
@@bjp4869 man your so right that’s why my dad and I look and sound the exact same, oh wait we don’t, and neither does my brother, and my mom doesn’t look or sound exactly like her mom, neither do any of her sisters. Do I need to go on with countering your snide and just incorrect comment.
Although i always forget about this episode i still love it! Not sure if it was intentional but he really does gives me no face, from studio ghiblis spirited away, vibes. Cant wait for more!
I looked it up because I thought I remembered learning about Candy's voice actress and her being from another TV show. She's actually the voice of BMO from Adventure Time and a couple other Adventure Time characters! ✨
Also, that swap meet thing you mentioned was a family tradition in my household, growing up. I grew up in a big family, too, so no candy ever went to waste in our house. There was always somebody who'd take it.
oooooohhh Sunstone is amazing. Stephan Sejic's artwork is stunning. If you're enjoying it i would highly recommend "HARLEEN," its by the same author/artist, and its probably the best Harley Quinn comic out there atm.
Sejic is fantastic with the art and the driving. I'm mostly hiped for the Queen and the Woodborn on Webtoon. Also woth to check his twitter/socials, he has amazing fanarts from various franchises... the "Wondercroft" still fan favourite and a sin never to be an official book :)
17:10 There are no filler episodes if you follow the under themes/stories, *ESPECIALLY* if you get the extra content that has come out since the end of the show.
This is my favorite episode also I remember when I was little, some girl showed me those types of videos and it was the gummy bear song and then a jump scare popped up I was traumatized 😂
Actually! It WAS INDEED insipred, in the official journal 3 book dipper writes about how mable said it reminded her of her fave anime i forgot what they called it i think it was something like "girl lost in spirit town" ill have to find my book to double cheack
I saw an Owl House AU where Luz and Gus joined the trick-or-treating and fought off clowns, Eda dropped her head spooking the last two kids, and King and Gideon raced to get the most candy. XD
Mabel is voiced by Kristen Schaal who is also known for her roles as: Louis-- Bob's Burgers Bella the Bellhop-- Amphibia Trixie (the dinosaur)-- Toy Story (3 & 4) and others...
"Why are you dating him?" Available evidence suggests Wendy has dated *everyone* else in town her age range (which honestly, given the size of the town, probably isn't that many people). I guess it was just his time in the queue... ;)
You should react to DuckTales (2017). I’ve been watching it and so far it’s perfect. Like Amphibia, Owl House, and Gravity Falls levels of perfect 🦆2️⃣0️⃣1️⃣7️⃣.
In band class, our band director told us he was in a that jumpscare car commercial, and played it with the room lights dimmed down. He said that we could see him if we looked closely.😅🤣
My only crazy Halloween story was one day when I got to a guy that was clearly just done with the whole production, but no one had come around before me so they just stood up and dumped the entire bowl of mini reeses cups into my bag.
Fun fact: Wendy is actually bi but Disney didn't allow Alex Hirsch to put that in the show (This is my second time making this comment because for some reason it's not showing up)
Alex Hirsch: "Let's do a Halloween episode!"
Other Writers: "This show is set entirely in the summer of 2012."
Alex Hirsch: "Hmmmm..."
Genius!
say less i’ve already thought about that.
When there's a will, there's a way
Funny but hirsch is the writer
@@rocky.rocks1445 He wasn't the only writer
Not only does Mama NSAF look JUST like Elijah, but she has immaculate taste in superheroes.
They also SOUND the same…
She even sounds like her
Seriously! They look like sisters.
@@shanenanigans27 Was just about to say this. If they weren’t in the same space, you could convince me it was a bit and they were both Elijah.
This wasn’t the first time I’ve seen her mom but for some reason her mom looks exactly like Elijah why am I now noticing this

Dipper’s main issue is wanting to grow up too fast whereas Mabel’s is wanting to indulge in childhood far too much. Neither are really right.
That's a great analysis of the dichotomy of the Pines Twins

I’ll never forget when Soos said, “I ate a man alive tonight.“ That may just be my favorite line of this episode.

Added up, Irrational Treasure is one full day. Time Travelers Pig is an afternoon. Fight Fighters is maybe 2 or 3 days since Wendy went camping. And Little Dipper is one day.

If it's exactly like the original version, I wonder about her views of the fate of the parents at the beginning of the movie.
Elijah: when are we finally gonna see the triangle character
Also elijah: watches one gravity falls episode once every three years

I love how she reacted to summerween barely within a month of Halloween
I missed your reactions Elijah, I like how into it you get when you watch stuff, it brightens my day in my very dark times as of late.
When you get done with 'Gravity Falls' you should watch 'Over the Garden Wall' it is a 10 episode series but it is very good (especially around Halloween).
It is SO GOOD and has the best fall/Halloween feeling to it. I rewatch it every year.
The sunstone comics are really good and very well written i honestly never expected to see someone talk about them.
Fun fact: A couple years ago me and my friends loved this show so much we celebrated summerween and one of my friends actually accidentally broke my leg.
I really love Mabel's and her friends' costumes!! So cute and adorable!!!!
13:44 that's the same voice actor that does BMO from Adventure Time
This episode actually contains a giant hint to the main mystery of the series. So it’s prob one of the most impt season 1 episodes, tho for some it doesn’t become obvious until a rewatch.
What's the hint?
Jeez you and your mom have such similar voices it’s uncanny
Yes exactly. Pause at 3:02 it's the best
The resemblance in general is uncanny, her mom just looks like a older version of her, and not even that much older them some good genes
It's almost like they're related
@@bjp4869 man your so right that’s why my dad and I look and sound the exact same, oh wait we don’t, and neither does my brother, and my mom doesn’t look or sound exactly like her mom, neither do any of her sisters. Do I need to go on with countering your snide and just incorrect comment.
Fr for a second I wasnt sure if she'd done an edit and pretended to be her own mum as a joke, they look so similar
Although i always forget about this episode i still love it! Not sure if it was intentional but he really does gives me no face, from studio ghiblis spirited away, vibes. Cant wait for more!
Halfway through, they realized the resemblance and just went with it. More info on Mystery Shack Lookback.
Yes! Just in time for October!
Also, It's crazy how much you look JUST like your Mom. You two can be twins fr. XD
Finally,Gravity Falls returned with Elijah❤❤🔥🔥
Elijah's mom has the same energy as Elijah, but a lot more... mom-like? Idk how to describe it.
I remember being SO scared of this episode when I was like, 8 years old
Such nostalgia for this show
I looked it up because I thought I remembered learning about Candy's voice actress and her being from another TV show. She's actually the voice of BMO from Adventure Time and a couple other Adventure Time characters! ✨
Hi it me Joshua thank you for the shout out i’m running around my house like very happyyelling as loud as I can

This is my favorite episode also I remember when I was little, some girl showed me those types of videos and it was the gummy bear song and then a jump scare popped up I was traumatized 😂
Yep The Summerween Trickster was inspired by No Face and also DC’s Scarecrow plus he’s voiced by Candlejack’s voice actor.
The definition of filler is no progression of the plot, or characters
There was clear progression of the characters
_this was probably the first episode i saw of this show_
I love that you're watching Gravity Falls, it gives me an excuse to rewatch it again. Can't wait for the next episode 😁
Elijah was not born, she is a grimwalker of her mother
Oh no

One of my favorite Halloween specials from an animated series
Actually! It WAS INDEED insipred, in the official journal 3 book dipper writes about how mable said it reminded her of her fave anime i forgot what they called it i think it was something like "girl lost in spirit town" ill have to find my book to double cheack
I can see why people were and still are obsessing over this show.

One of my favourites episodes from s1!
Perfectly timed 😂 Happy early Halloween 🎃

Amazing reaction video Elijah! 💜 This episode is definitely one of favorite ones to watch. Halloween is the best! 🎃
I love how your mom is part of your channel
Awesome!! I’ve SOOO been looking forward to seeing your reaction to this one!! 😁😁
14:00 Elijah you literally said “dude!” the same way Soos does haha
THE TOYOTA COMMERCIAL WITH THE ROLLING GREEN HILLS AND SHIRE MUSIC YESSSSSSSSSSSS
You are like 7 eps away from seeing the character, don't worry, it's worth the wait
The halloween episode on Spooky month?? Epic
happy summerween 🎃🏚️🪦🩸🖤💀👻🔪
Aww. I like your mom, she seems so sweet and genuine. ^_^
This was definitely the scariest Gravity Falls monster. I'd say Giffany was the strongest, not including Bill.
Nooo! We agreed to keep that name a secret from Elijah! (Also, I personally find yanderes way scarier than halloween killers).
I Disagree the shape shifter I's way more scary
Yep it is inspired with spirited away!
Journal 3 gives it a reference with Mabel’s favorite thing to watch.
This is such an amazing Halloween episode!!!!!
6:40 Mabel always chooses her boy-of-the-week crushes, friends, and Waddles over Dipper.
Fun fact: Wendy is actually bi but Disney didn't allow Alex Hirsch to put that in the show
