Where your favorite blogs come alive
I always thought that the Gravity Falls fandom was a brilliant and awesome fandom; full of genius people who work together to make amazing AUs and figure out the secrets of Gravity Falls. Unfortunately, today, I think I was proved wrong. I, myself, enjoy just about any ship. I will happily read most pairings, and don't mind at all when the writers sway more towards a ship in each episode. I could be rooting for Billdip one second, and happily wander over to read a Dipcifica fanfiction right after. I will support Mabifica, or even Wendip. I greatly enjoy the dynamics of just about any pairing. SO when I saw the newest episode, I was pleased to see the beginning and end of Candip. It was a perfect portrayal of 12 year old children; crushes that come and go faster than the speed of light. It was good character development for both Candy and Dipper, and their friendship is closer because of it. However, this morning I decided to have a poke around the Dipcifica tag, and I was shocked to see the amount of hate being thrown around. People hating on Candy because she developed a CRUSH?? I'm sorry, but how is that unrealistic? Or a threat to your ships? It was a short plot point that was meant to show how Dipper is more understanding of other human beings, and that he is more comfortable around girls. There wasn't a single mention of Dipcifica being destroyed, nor that there is even any Dipcifica. I'll admit that ship is probably the closest to canon right now, but Alex could just as easily turn around and toss Pacifica with Mabel. WE DON'T KNOW! So everyone just needs to relax and stop hating on each other's ships; Alex will be the decider, and he'll make the right choice. He may break some hearts and sink some ships, but that's the story of fandom life.
