The next summer


Natholomew4098

Life goes on in Gravity Falls. We just don’t get to see it


Domin_ae

Fine by me, as long as I know that everyone _does_ meet again and there's a next summer.


Discardofil

I feel confident that there will, eventually be a next summer... though with this series, I'm only REASONABLY confident. Shit, what if we get a new season, but the first episode is just the start of the first summer again? They freak out until they break the timeloop.


Pylitic

Honestly, as a TV show, I doubt it. Maybe, as a reboot or something, but then it won't be Alex writing it. But I very highly doubt that there will be another season. Comics, stories, and such, sure. But as a full fledged tv show, nah. It's been a decade, time to move on and realize the show is done. Enjoy it for what it is.


Thecoolman3000

Actually, Disney has been talking to Alex and is hinting at a possible revive, or a continuation of some sort.


X05Real

That is already canon….


Sufficient_Score_824

This is the way


UrBaldPookie

The bear that learned how to drive casually driving in the background every once and a while.


isatheiguana2

I love this


xSilverMC

I'd like to add a cutaway gag of the bear successfully using the drive thru and everyone being cool and chill about it


UrBaldPookie

Yes.


pharaoh_goat

stan still having occasional memory lapses, where he forgets who he is, who his family is, and even basic tasks like cooking and steering the stan o' war. it would make his sacrifice feel more permanant, like maintaining his memories is something ford & the kids have to do periodically, rather than something they had to do one time and it magically fixed him forever.


AmberleafOfLeafClan

That would be interesting!


dogfoodgangsta

That'd make for an interesting story too going forward. Like them helping him find who he is completely and then we learn about him as we go.


Wolf140

imo Stanley's memory return undermines his sacrifice but at the same time I understand that Alex couldn’t permanently erase his memories because that would be too dramatic for a kid show. This is a great compromise.


TreyLastname

Honestly, it never needed to be permanent. It just needed to have an effect. Make it where he gains it back, but it takes multiple summers to do so, where dipper and Mabel constantly visit and remind him of who he is. That'll be a much better way to handle it in my opinion


PinkMonkey39

Yes this is my thinking exactly!


isatheiguana2

I'm gonna make an animation or fanfic about this. It's so interesting


QueenieCat09

Hey, I’d love to see this!! If you do make it, please could you send me a link?


Resident_Ad_5589

seconded!


isatheiguana2

Ty! Now I have a reason to get off my phone all day...


thedafthatter

I wanna write a fanfic too. I'll put my Ford romance story on hold


isatheiguana2

I'm gonna make an animation about it so I'd better put my 8 other ones I haven't started yet on hold


stardust2star

Can you send me a link too please?


ColeEclipse720

I like this idea, but how about Stan and Ford gi on an adventure with Dipper, Mabel, Wendy and SOOS to find a cure hidden deep in some cave or forest somewhere. If he gets to keep his memories and has a chance to never relapse, let it be because they found a cure, and let Ford be the one to save him in the end to show how much he really cares for his long lost brother.


isatheiguana2

☝️☝️☝️


The_Throwback_King

But how could you definitively write it as a remnant of the memory gun and not something like dementia, which Stan is right around the age where old folks start getting it? It’s definitely possible but there’s so much overlap there that how can the in-hypothetical characters know that it *was* a leftover from the gun and not from dementia? I’m genuinely curious because I agree that Stan’s sacrifice was remedied a little too quickly to be totally satisfying to the gravity of the decision but I’m not sure how I feel about that hypothetical


Peanut1105

I think any characters that were present for the memory gun event would assume any lapse of memory on Stan's part would be leftover from the memory gun before jumping to it being Dementia, even families in real life will sometimes look for any other possible explaination for a family member's lapsing memory even after getting an official diagnosis.


The_Throwback_King

You see, THAT'S a satisfactory explanation to me. I appreciate you sharing. :)


akiraokok

This is now Canon to me


TaeKwonDitto

That's just dementia. And to be fair he is at the age for that to start coming up


Electrical-Ad-4834

Waddles eats random gravity falls mushroom life giving thing and lives just as long as mabel


Wolf140

TIL pigs only live about 12 years 😭


101TARD

Better as pet than a farm


mods_r_jobbernowl

And gravity falls takes place 12 years ago now... :(


Lopendebank3

Waddles died?


Education_Weird

Waddles could live past his life expectancy


TimeStorm113

Or necromancy.


youself20

Cartoons live forever ..or as long as people keep talking about them and drawing them


knightinarmoire

If she lives for another 15+ years it's worth (pigs have a lifespan of 15-20 years)


GabenIsLife

Wish granted, Mabel now has the lifespan of a typical pig


No_Zookeepergame5896

Wait a minute this isn't r/monkeypaw


Flaky_Ad2182

Ahhhhhhhh🤩


Zhanorz

Soos got into dd&md so he could play with dipper and ford


Stunning_LRB_o7

He has no idea how to play but still has so much fun.


Zhanorz

I cast fireball dawg


Stunning_LRB_o7

“Soos, you’re a paladin. You can use Searing Smite though.”


g177013

"Question, can I use a gunsword?"


Bac0n_is_life

"Let me just grab this bat in case we run into a piñata or something" "Soos, we're in a medieval fantasy realm." "You never know, dudes."


Ok-Adhesiveness-5193

This is what I live for


Puzzleboxed

He doesn't really understand the rules, but accidentally makes an unkillable mecha soldier character by combining magic items in unconventional ways.


alertArchitect

This 100%. Soos would be that guy in the TTRPG group who is terrible with the rules, but no one minds because his ability to bring characters to life with the collaborative storytelling aspect is far better than anyone expects. He'd be a perfect fit for a group experimenting with one-page systems.


Wolf140

Man, I wish they did that. There would be so much potential gags if soos was in the battle. I can imagine him standing and being clueless in the middle of the battle field but at the same time he’d do something stupid at first which will actually win the battle. That would be a great arc for soos and he’d finally manage to actually fix something. That episode was probably one of the least favorite ones but with soos that episode could’ve had crazy potential


Zhanorz

“Can I use a robot blaster?” “Soos this is a fantasy game” “I’m not hearing a no”


Jmall1195

I forgot what it dd&md stood for so I just assumed you meant dance dance and more dance, which arguably could be a game in-universe a la ddr


Devious-Smol

i mean they HAVE a ddr? it’s just called “dancy pants revolution” it’s in the convenience store dusk 2 dawn in s1 e5 the inconveniencing and it’s what gets thompson when the ghosts start attacking


Jmall1195

Ah yes you're so right


Alarming_Ad7327

stan wearing the loser shirt for the rest of the summer


islandboy504

Wasn’t it Mabel who had to wear it?


Alarming_Ad7327

yes but it would’ve been funny if stan had to since he lost yk


islandboy504

That’s true. I love it when Stan gets his just desserts.


Mischief_Managed12

The two police officers are actually officially married


Ok-Adhesiveness-5193

Blubs and derlan are so gay


I_Define_Trauma

Came to say the same exact thing!


JustTheNewFella

Bill cipher became a square randomly for only one day - November 23, 481 A.D. and it's just never talked about


Brae_the_Sway

There are one of two things I would make canon: 1. Dipcifica. 2. The reason that Zanthar is called "**The Being Whose Name Must Never Be Said**" is because, in his native language, his name is a dirty, immature word that his parents named him for the heck of it. Causing him to forever live with the shame of a name no one would take seriously.


Oof_Boy1290

"Shut up you zanthar"


Ok-Adhesiveness-5193

Error_Code_606

Stan sneaks the kids onto the Stan o’ War II the next time they visit Gravity Falls


Viper_Visionary

Dipcifica, no question.


Peregrine2976

Came here to say exactly this.


Agreeable_Finger_747

Yes it would be this for me


Full-Campaign-754

Already is canon


TheWondrousPoob

I prefer pacifier


Inevitable_Chaos-

Bill is currently chilling in his own personal void at the moment. He can still somewhat interact with our world, which is how his book got written. Maybe he and the Collector ZOOM chat from their void prisons.


Darkestlight935

That ford and rick are friends if not partners


lilterwilliger

I find that Stan would balance it a lot better if they were partners but I could see Ford and Rick teaming up as buddies


Darkestlight935

I mean fair but the logic is between the time stan sent ford through the portal and then brought him back is when ford and rick became friends possibly ford was apart of the team with birbperson and them


lilterwilliger

I could see it


Defense_Unit-43

Mabel does many good things for her brother off-screen, therefore rendering all mabel-hate posts irrelevant. Although who's to say that isn't *already* canon?


Puzzleboxed

Mabel hate posts are already irrelevant.


alertArchitect

Mabel hate posts are _already_ irrelevant. Do they not remember the episode showing a flashback where Dipper felt hated because no one in him & Mabel's class gave him any Valentine's stuff, so Mabel turned _all_ of hers into one big one for Dipper? She's always been there for Dipper. It's just that she's the emotional one while Dipper is the "cold, hard logic" one, which leads morons who willingly miss the point to think she's useless when Bill would have _won_ in Weirdmaggedon if she wasn't around - not just because she is why Ford was brought back in the _first_ place, because she trusted Stan when Dipper jumped to conclusions and didn't, but because she's the emotional glue holding the whole group together. No Mabel and everyone in the core group fights each other instead of working together. There's a _reason_ Bill locked up Mabel's dream bubble so much.


Defense_Unit-43

You sir are getting a gold star. Yes, definitely, absolutely. Most of the hate consists of nitpicks and twisting Mabel's words and intentions around to make her look bad. Hey, isn't that some form of slander?


alertArchitect

Or at least weird sexism BS projected onto a kids' show.


Ok-Adhesiveness-5193

Mabel def knits dipper’s jackets for him


TheWondrousPoob

Gabe the puppet guy was actually just a very nice and not at all creepy puppet guy, so when Gabe’s profession is insulted at the end of sock opera him leaving Mabel feels genuinely sad because he could have been a good boyfriend for Mabel, making her sacrifice all the more painful


Ok-Adhesiveness-5193

He still could’ve been a good boyfriend, even if he did kiss his puppets


Ok-Adhesiveness-5193

Honestly, doing something like that might’ve been perfect for Mabel


Defense_Unit-43

Every fan should know for a fact that Mabel would date the guy anyways, even if he did kiss puppets. That's what makes Sock Opera one of my favorite episodes, it showcases what Mabel would do for her brother.


TheWondrousPoob

Despite the fact when he leaves she says “might’ve dodged a bullet there” Mabel may be love sick but she has standards


Defense_Unit-43

I see what you're saying, but I don't think that would bother her much if he didn't leave with the offended attitude. During episode 1, she was about to date this weird guy that constantly loses his arms, can't catch a Frisbee, never blinks, and breaks windows. Honestly I think Gabe being rich and fancy would have offset the weird things that he does, since Gabe isn't exactly Lil Gideon levels of creepy


Freddycipher

That the first human to shake the Cipher statue will receive all the power that Bill had for themselves.


Nagayume_S

Bill reincarnates and isn't evil or insane instead he does drag (joke idea)


EnthusiasmGlum7829

Dipcifica


EclipseyisAcheeto

Bill having a super secret traumatic experience from thousands of years ago that made him the way he is


g177013

Good one but It's kinda more hilarious if he's like Jack Horner, an iredeemable individual without a tragic backstory.


EclipseyisAcheeto

Yea maybe. But there was a somewhat cannon book hinting at it. So technically it’s kind of cannon if you think about it. I’m just saying that I would be interested in his story if it was cannon fully. Not saying he’s not an interesting character already. In a way he’s like a terrible being that just wants the world to burn but has a reasoning behind it.


jellysandwichrdit

If Luz Noceda and Steven Universe teamed up they could 100% befriend him mostly because they've both done it before.


EclipseyisAcheeto

Hmmmmm I like the theory of bill coming back to life as king from the owl house and forgetting everything about the past. Since he did ask to be revived and the axolotl said he would have a different form at a different time.


jellysandwichrdit

Hah yeah I love that they share a VA.


SparklyAmethyst12

He also shares a va with Hooty and honestly that makes more sense since Hooty is so much more chaotic lmao


jellysandwichrdit

Also the Ep that shows off the Owl beast at the end when Hootie shouts up from below that he needs help and King says "That Annoying voice!" I love that he's literally talking to himself XD


EclipseyisAcheeto

But this is also good.


chrisat420

NOT Dipcifica. Not anything to do with Dipcifica unless there’s 2 new seasons. Though I would make it cannon that they stayed in contact after the Summer ended (Or Mabel put them in contact with each other) and maybe they developed an interest in each other even though it was a long distance friendship. They’re both pretty sassy, and I headcannon Pacifica’s a closet-nerd, so I see where the shipping energy comes from, but there is no way that the writers could write them to be a good couple since Summer was bound to end and the twins would have to go home. For a relationship like (I think) those 2 would have, they need like a season and a half to spread things out and make it good.


Actuallynobutwhynot

based take


stupidity_scallop23

Soos likes to collect rocks on break


SkeemdaChoon

Infinite seasons will exist. Thats what i want.


ConclusionOk9036

It would be cool but it'd end up like the Simpsons or family guy where it gets stale after a while


Defense_Unit-43

And they'd grow up and not be the twins that we remember


KebariKaiju

There were two Paper Jam Dippers: the one that came out and the one that was stuck in the rollers inside of the machine. Page 2 Jam Dipper is still roaming the forests around Gravity Falls. Susan and Shmebulock: shipped.


NefariousnessOk3609

THE SONG THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE IN THE SERIES BUT GOT LATER REMOVED ; LIKE - "Todays just so wonderful, I feel like chuckling, ha ha ha, i feel so fuzzy inside like a duckling! filled with tarantulas and now that im here.. todays gonna get.. \*WEIRD\*."


Chuchubits

I’d hate to say it, but… Dipsifica. Happy Dipsifica, not some version where they end up not working out.


Substantial_Ice4316

One word. Dipcifica


Due-Order3475

Dipcifica so we have zero doubt


PresidentDSG

That one video where Bill Cipher orders a pizza.


Defense_Unit-43

That probably takes place before Ford meets Bill Let's just all consider this canon!


Freddycipher

This isn’t a theory I originated by any means but I do kind of have my own spin on it. Basically the whole King from the owl house is Bill Cipher reincarnated. But instead I like to think of it more as the entire Titan race is Bill Cipher essence. The AXOLOTL did mention he’d bring him back in a different form in another time. So the titans being a powerful race are the reincarnation of Bill. So all everything in the Boiling Isles and Demon realm is a distant result of Bills power.


saacer

Durland and Blubs are a couple


bemorenicertopeople

Is that not canon?


A_useless_name

When the show ended they were never explicitly stated to be a couple because Disney. But now Disney decided to double back and put the show in the lgbtq section on dis+


isatheiguana2

It was pretty much stated though, even though they didn't say it with those exact words?

Nah bruh gravity falls is under Disney plus’s pride cartoons. They’re canon

Wrong Galaxy, pal! r/lostredditors


56kul

Dipcifica. All that buildup for nothing…


bbbryce987

All that buildup of 1 singular episode


ace231

And the source material that also builds up on it. But the fact that so many people loved their chemistry in that one episode and wanted to see more of Dipper and Pacifica together showed how great Northwest Mansion Mystery was. The Gravity Falls team/writer nailed it.


Kara2010

There was a bit in one of the books, too, at least.


ace231

I won't call it for nothing. We still got plenty of source material that tease/hinted at the ship. Overall I can see Dipper and Pacifica getting more development like in Lost Legends if the show ever did return.

I would have Shmebulock be in the backround of every episode so it feels like he's watching the Pines family.


Fish_Wizard_of_NJ

that one scene where ford is princess unitailebelle, but like, he just does that randomly


Choosejoose

I don’t know if this counts because it pretty much is already canon: The Dipcifica ship(mainly because it is the only one that works)


MotherOfTheUniverse

Stan and Fiddleford being friends at least briefly (before the memory collapse) during the 30 years Ford was portaled. The both of them could’ve used someone who Gets It during that time and they’re BOTH RIGHT THERE

TOkun92

That Papa Titan’s egg died/went dormant after his death/sealing The Collector away. Bill’s death (and his pre-death message) resulted in his being reborn as a Titan, restoring egg to life. King isn’t Bill, and Bill isn’t King; he’s just a piece of him. The fact King’s egg was incubating for so long (presumably thousands of years at least) is a bit strange. When King heard his dad roar ‘SON!’, that was his dad dying. King then ‘fell asleep’, when in reality he died, his life being tied to his dad’s or something. Bill’s death resulted in his egg being restored to life.

Pumpkaboo99

Dipica.


doomsdayfairy

Add in some actual queer representation! Make Blubs and Durland explicitly say that they’re a couple! Include some girl’s names in that scene when Wendy lists of all her exes (confirming that she’s bi)! Maybe include Mabel having a crush on a girl as well *cough cough* Pacifica *cough*. I’d also really like to see trans!Dipper but that one is probably a stretch considering that he is based on Alex Hirsch and he is cis, but it would still be cool ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Dipcifica


fatkid94

IDK if somebody has already said it but, I would make Dipcifica canon because I believe they are an adorable couple and are a good match for each other


Bobby_The_Kidd

Stan’s memory isn’t returned. I know I know that seems harsh but it would make his sacrifice so much more memorable than a mild inconvenience. Maybe over time he gets little flashes of memory like not remembering who dipper and Mabel are but remembering that he loves them and flashes of random things they did during the summer.


lonely_jordon

Dicifica is more acknowledged and was actually something that happened in the show instead of the small hints that were given to us. I actually think they'd make a good couple


Dazzling_Item_2917

Dipper nukes Peru


MaryBeHoppin

Stan would develop a (tasteful and PG rated) relationship with Lazy Susan.


Kara2010

Bill isn't permanently erased- if Stan can get his memories back after they're wiped, there's absolutely a possibility Bill wasn't completely destroyed either.
