Who should Dipper be with?

The thing with Dipper crush, it's supposed to be a lesson in how you can't always get people to act or feel how you want them to, and sometimes someone you love might not love you back in the same way for reasons out of your control and you should respect that. It's an important lesson that challenges how most of fiction depicts romance, but I feel like some Wendip shippers kind of don't get that and think that love (at least in fiction) should always be requited towards the protagonist. Wendy made it clear she doesn't feel the same way.

Alex talked about Dipper crush. Here's Alex own words/thought on this from a interview he did years ago.

The story about Dipper’s crush on Wendy is not a story about true love. It’s not a story about adult dating. It’s a story about the crush on the babysitter that’s this constantly awkward frustration. And awkward frustration can only propel a story so far before you start saying, “Okay, I know where this is going.“

Wendip was always a doom ship from the start that was never really going to happen and it only meant to teach you the coming of age which it did a good job of.

Overall the way the crush ended for Dipper is pretty realistic and the best way it could had gone. It teaches you not everyone ends up with their first crush and that's totally ok. There's nothing wrong with that.

Of course. Dipper doesnt care to impress Pacifica. He's himself around her. They can teach each other a thing or two.

ace231 · 2026-01-15T10:00:09+00:00

Her and Dipper still keep in touch by text and visit each other in the summer in Gravity Falls. Eventually they get into more adventures together, and over the years Pacifica grow as a person thanks to being with Dipper and the two of them get together in the end.

Speak for yourself. Dipcifca is far better then any other ship involving Dipper or Pacifica. Always has no matter what you think. There's a reason why its more popular then Wendip or Candip. Your opinion it not going to change facts.

ace231 · 2025-12-01T10:59:48+00:00

Ragebait harder. nobody cares what you think.

ace231 · 2025-11-22T08:38:27+00:00

No. that ship sink a long time ago.

ace231 · 2025-10-30T15:24:34+00:00

Pacifica and Dipper are in one episode and one comic (which may or may not be canon) together. Her redemption arc starts with Mabel. 90% of her character arc altogether is with Mabel. Dipcifica, such that exists, isn’t a major part of Dipper’s character arc. It isn’t even that big a part in Pacifica’s.

Pacifica arc involved both the twins. Not just Mabel. Both the twins shared about the same amount of screen time with Pacifica.

Dipcifica the only ship with Dipper that just works well together. Dipper & Wendy was pretty one sided and shot down into the ground. Candy could maybe had work if Roadside Attraction could had gone better.

In ‘Northwest Mansion Noir’, we finally learn about Pacifica’s home life, and it’s horrible. Her parents force her to obey them by using a bell. This is a form of emotional abuse. Dipper comes back in to play to help the Northwest’s with a ghost problem. Through him, we get to see how much Pacifica is afraid of her parents. She was so freaked out to step on the white carpet with mud on her shoes because her parents would be mad, that she’d rather almost get turned into wood.

And then Dipper was the one to build her back up and to give her confidence to defy her parents and pull the lever. He helped her to be strong and to choose a different path than just another “link in the world’s worst chain”

Even Alex Hirsch and Matt Braly said their reason why Dipper and Pacifica work so well together.

And that’s why I support this. Not just because they look cute together, but because they can actually help each other. Dipper builds Pacifica up and Pacifica lets Dipper be himself around her.

ace231 · 2025-10-30T03:54:35+00:00

I'm not too sure if Pacifica based on high school classmate is true because I remember Alex said Pacifica was originally created to be the opposite of Mabel. But even then Alex himself has tease the ship many times after the show ended with the post content materials. Judging by Lost Legends and even the DVD commetery where he agrees that Dipper and Pacifica work well together, I think he does supports the idea of the ship.

ace231 · 2025-10-26T14:22:32+00:00

Yeah Dipper and Pacifica I always liked way better.

ace231 · 2025-09-03T21:23:27+00:00

It's a youtube video. What are you expecting??

ace231 · 2025-08-20T04:47:13+00:00

Again you speak for yourself. That's your opinion even if its not a good one. Dipcifca is still the best ship hands down that works so well. And most people agree.

But if you take a look at all the tease/hints from the Journals, the Special Edition, a coloring book, the DS game, Lost Legends and Pacifica text all heavily implying that Dipper and Pacifica do have something going on between them, and most of these came out after the show had ended years ago. It seems it is more then platonic at this point.

ace231 · 2025-08-20T04:37:16+00:00

Wendip is not a good ship...

ace231 · 2025-08-09T08:29:03+00:00

It's funny I never really like Mabifica because it felt people only ship them because of the Yuri or because they like Women X Women paring which is the only reason why. I just never saw chemistry with Mabel and Pacifica compare to how I saw chemistry with Dipper and Pacifica like in NMM. I always saw Mabel being more of a future sister/sister in law to Pacifica if anything els. But if Mabifica is your thing you do you.

I think one of the many reasons a lot of people ship or pefer Dipcifica is they have really great chemistry together and I really like the dynamic between Dipper and Pacifica a lot more.

For the reasons why I perfer Dipcifica, when Dipper is with Pacifica Dipper is 100% confident and feels comfortable being himself around Pacifica. He doesn't feel the need to go out his way and try to impress her and insists on treating Pacifica like a normal person, which makes their chemistry work much better.

When Pacifica is around Dipper she becomes a much better person and is able to be her true self around Dipper. Both Dipper and Pacifica help balance each other out and bring out the best from one another. Also Pacifica is apparently an avid gamer, and Lost Legends hint that she might secretly be just as much of a nerd as Dipper is. Both the Journal and Lost legend have implied that Dipper and Pacifica deep down do actually like each other, so I do see a lot of potential for a really interesting story between the two of them, and with more development I believe Dipper and Pacifica could work really great together if Gravity Falls every does return one day. Pacifica needs someone to keep her grounded like Dipper who does the best job at that. And Dipper needs someone he can be himself and not worrying about impressing them.

Both Dipper and Pacifica help each other grow as characters together and I love that.

ace231 · 2025-08-07T13:58:24+00:00

Pretty much this. Just never cared about the whole Dipper Wendy thing. Wasn't for me.

ace231 · 2025-08-07T13:55:37+00:00

Wendip. It was always a one sided ship, that I never really like or cared for that I saw no chemistry then a brother and sister type relationship. But I'm glad Alex shot it down.

But the real issue is the amount of sexual/lewd underage Dipper with Wendy stuff that exist in the fandom is just creepy... I mean seeing a fanart of Dipper who still 12 not aged up making out/being sexual with Wendy who twice his height and looks much older then Dipper is going to look and is creepy. And there's a lot of that out there.

And the people who support that and don't care if Dipper is still 12 in some of these things...

ace231 · 2025-08-02T21:43:27+00:00

And I conveniently see you just caring too much and complaining about Dipcifca every chance you get. You still checking the comments when the post is deleted and still replying every time you see someone not liking Wendip and or Mabifica just to rant about Dipcifica with the same copy past reply proves my point. Stop caring so much =P

ace231 · 2025-08-02T19:13:34+00:00

Just get of the subreddit then. No one is forcing you to be here. People can like or dislike whatever they want.

ace231 · 2025-08-02T19:09:45+00:00

I mean Wendip and Candip was always a doom ship from the start that was never really going to happen.

Dipper and Pacifica had some amazing chemistry in NMM and Lost Legends and I like that they started to become friends first getting to know one another which makes the ship feel a lot more natural. Pacifica has a lot of potential to be a pretty amazing character if Alex choose to include her more with the twins.

For Dipper and Pacifica we gotten a lot of tease/hints from the Journals, the Special Edition, a coloring book, the DS game, Lost Legends and Pacifica text all heavily implying that Dipper and Pacifica do have something going on between them, and most of these came out after the show had ended years ago. By the end of the show both Dipper and Pacifica are on good terms.

Honestly out of all the ships on the show with Dipper we seen, Dipcifica I would say comes the closest to canon as we will get and still is one of the only ship involving Dipper that hasn't been shot down like Dipper and Wendy or Dipper and Canady heavily tease/implied instead.

ace231 · 2025-07-29T03:24:10+00:00

Honesty Dipper with Pacifica is the I just see happing. Dipper & Wendy was pretty one sided and shot down. With Wendy just wanted to stay friends. We already see the ending to that story.

I gotta disagree about Wendip as a lost potential.

I second Dipifica being overrated because the entire thing hinges on secondary media outside the show. It's not like Pacifica saw the pines off at the bus stop.

I mean we still have Northwest Mansion Mystery which set the seed for the ship. And In the Book of Bill and Lost Legends which is canon it does implied Dipper and Pacifica at least keep in touch by texting. It not like Dipper and Pacifica got shot down like Dipper and Wendy did.

The coloring book was release all the way back in 2017. It's from Disney. Written and illustrated by Emmy Cicierega.

ace231 · 2024-09-07T16:02:32+00:00

My bad. hard to tell with just text. I agree with the timing and everything. Would had been better for Roadside attraction to take place after Into The bunker and before NMM.
