Pacifica is one of the few characters that Alex Hirsch has bothered mentioning what she's up to since the series ended. She's currently working at Greasy's Diner thinking about Dipper and Mabel everyday.
Aand then she almost rejected to take McGucket's hand in order to save the universe and was devastated after hearing she would have only one ponny instead of two. I think the writer decided to ignore her character developement a bit..?

I have never seen more of an informative character moment than Pacifica's reaction to _THAT BELL._ Seriously. That goes down in my book as one of those "this is how to do that" examples.
It was a complete accident. The writers never intended the bell to be so sinister. It was just supposed to be a physical representation of her parent’s authority, not some pavlov’s dog experiment. When Alex Hirsh and the other writers heard what the fans thought the bell meant, they were surprised. Such is the drawbacks of not seeing your work with fresh eyes.
@@connorgrynol9021 Alex was probably too busy arguing with the Disney censor's ridiculous standards, seriously some of the things they took issue with were just flat out dumb.
@@mauricioandres7470 There's an old experiment called "Pavlov's Dog". It involved ringing a bell before feeding dogs. Eventually, all it took was ringing the bell to get the dogs to start salivating. The experiment's purpose was to extract pepsin from the dogs' stomach (which were cut clean open). The experiment wasn't as successful as many people think it is but it left a mark on pop culture. People think that the bell was supposed show Pacifica's obedience conditioning (brainwashing) caused by her parents. The story writers, however, say that this was never the intention.
Everyone's talking about the Dipper x Pacifica ship, but I'm astonished at all the little things you notice in this episode about how Pacifica feels about her parents, and how they treat her behind closed doors. Her utmost fear of ruining the carpet, her utter dismay at the history of her family, and the bell. Oh God the bell. One ring from it, and not only does she go silent, but she avoids eye contact as well. It makes you wonder how they would've had to punish her for her to have such a negative reaction to this Pavlo-esque stimuli. They're able to say so much with so little words. And that just because your parents don't treat you or others well, doesn't mean you have to follow in their footsteps.
They are basically deadbeats For example: 1.leaving Pacifica at a mini golf course so they can attend a FUCKING PARTY! 2.They are controlling as hell like : forcing her to obey them like a fucking slave 3.Since they are deadbeats , ofc she was spoiled because there’s no one there to educate her.
The whole bell thing is really scary to me, with literally one ring of that bell she goes completely silent and avoids eye contact and steps back. Like that’s hella concerning, I honestly feel really bad for her she’s probably being mentally abused.
In this episode, there were some scenes where its seems like that both Dipper and Pacifica are starting to have a crush on one each other. She seems to be a perfect match since Wendy is too old, and the Candy shipping get blown over in Roadside Attraction.
Beyzoş I don’t think so....... If you’ve known anybody younger than you it’s kind of awkward to see them past the brother zone. I knew a kid since he was 6. Our age difference isn’t far apart but it would be weird if we started seeing each other romantically.
Wendy is the high school girl you have a crush on when your in middle school Pacifica is the girl you actually care deeply and love but never noticed till it’s either too late or finally go for it.
I think part of the reason people ship these two is their honest dynamic, neither has a reason to appease or impress the other, so they don’t even try. It makes for a better chemistry than Dipper and Wendy because Dipper is *always* trying to impress her and scarcely acts natural. This coupled with their fun banter, makes for a great pairing.
Another reason is that only mabel and dipper treated pacifica genuinely without money or anything but out of the two i think dipper cared more about her even if its just one episode. ranging from the fraud acts the northwest made throughout, pacifica's hard life behind the scenes due to his family and childhood, etc. Its not like mabel wouldn't care if shes in that position instead of dipper but i'd bet dipper would understand it more since both are kinda same
Okay, I admit it. I adore the "popular mean girl falling for the dork (who dislikes her)" trope. Like, look! 2:05 - She initiated the hug, 2:14 - she became a bit disappointed that he was going to leave, 2:39 - and then rejoiced when he returns. It's cliché for the dork to get a crush on the popular mean girl who has no interest, but when it's reversed it just becomes really sweet, and wholesome, and not so pathetic. Although, a variation that I wish was more prominent is when the popular mean girl gets all soft and nice, and generally being genuinely pleasant, towards the dork she has a crush on, _but _*_still_* retains her mean girl status. She doesn't really compromise, she just makes an exception, and doesn't hide it. Maybe mellows a bit when she's around her crush, but thinks of it more like: "You're lucky my dorky crush is here." kind of type.
I agree I feel like she started forming feelings for Dipper throughout the process of him n her an being together during the mission or whatevs. I feel like she likes him more cuz he is there for her throughout the whole thing besides the beginning when she asked him for help an when he's mad at her for lying. Just my thoughts
I mean Dipper just went there to do his job an help them, but she was obviously glad he was there an she got upset when he was trynna leave. So she either wants him to stay cuz they now friends or she has feelings for him. Cuz if she didn't like him she wouldn't get upset when he's leaving. Just my thoughts lol
Soos is a dork Dipper is Geek And Mabel is the sweetest little freak. Grunkle Stan is the man. Ford is a lord And Wendy is at her best when she is bored. Bill is a shill. Gideon is a joke. Is it just me, or is that Tad Strange fella an odd bloke?
03:43 I never got the joke but now I realpize how hilarous a literally *painted record* of every Northwest crime is. Someone spent hours at painting their misdemeanor only for them to store it away so no one could ever see them.
My theory: People over the decades have tried to convince the public to fight against the Northwests through painting and propaganda. However they were always caught and probably executed in the end.
Hints this was coming: 1. In one of the episodes Pacifica sees Mabel holding Waddles and tells her that she found her real twin. This is obviously teasing Mabel, but ironically it's also implying that Dipper is better looking than Mabel (or just good looking in general.) 2. In the golf episode of all the insults to their family, (old, fat, braces) she called Dipper "lame" which is probably the least insulting one of them all, considering she's not making fun of anything (Stan being old, Soos' obesity, Mabel's braces) but just calling him lame. This didn't start during Northwest Mansion Mystery, and if it did Pacifica wouldn't have gone to Dipper for help. She thinks the Pines are disgusting and poor, and she chose Dipper for the job because it was an easy way to get to know him better (and she admired his intelligence, even though he outed Nathaniel Northwest as a fraud)
@@iantaggart3064 let's be real, do you think he knew enough about someone he considers so far below him he won't even share the same food as him? Or is it more likely Pacifica who clearly has SOME sort of crush/attraction to Dipper telling her dad she knows someone who can take care of the problem for them?
Also, Pacifica's feelings for Dipper were confirmed in the official "Lost Legends" comic book. And in the official third journal Dipper wrote this about Pacifica: "she's nice, smells nice (like champagne)" and "she's pretty". He also draws her looking the right way. That's also how he drew Wendy. The ship is canon and we all know it
3:06 I know people like to mention the bell, and believe you me it and its implications are disturbing, but the thing that always gets me is Pacifica's reaction to being called just another link in the world's worst chain. It isn't as if Dipper hasn't regularly insulted and demeaned her before. In this very episode he calls her the worst to her face and slams the door on her and she barely reacts, and while she does act upset when he implies that her hair is fake, it is a decidedly different emotion. Most of the time, Dipper's goading provokes outrage. This scene is totally different; Pacifica looks genuinely hurt. Dipper, too, seems genuinely hurt, not merely goading her for being annoying and stuck up but actively trying to hurt her back. The sheer amount of work the episode puts in to get to this point and make it feel like a believable place for both characters cannot be understated.
Man, when Dipper was telling her she was just “another link in the world’s worst chain,” her lip quivers in a way that looks like she’s on the verge of tears. Even as she immediately starts apologizing, you can see wrinkles just underneath her eyes. She was holding back tears. You can tell she had her feelings hurt..
I feel like Pacifica would absolutely have a rebellious teen phase, maybe even trying out some not-so-posh-and-perfect hairstyles and outfits, and judging by Dipper’s crush on the punk-loving tomboyish lumberjack teen Wendy, maybe he’d actually start crushing on Pacifica at that point in their lives
After reading the Lost Legends (Gravity Fall canon comic book) and seeing that one of the writters of the show leaving a easter egg that he shipped them, pretty sure comfirms this
@@mubassirzaman7202 Not only that, Alex also ships them. He didnt ship them when he was making the series but after all the hype it got he also started to like it, so its pretty much canon
I 100% believe it’s canon that they like each other. I got the journal yesterday and one of the things Dipper wrote towards the end was “She also looks kind of okay in an evening dress, I guess.” And then he writes this but draws a line over it “And when she hugs you she smells like champagne and flowers and… Am I crazy or was there some vibe going on?” When I read that I yelled “I KNEW IT” Yeah I’ve been shipping them for a long time but that kinda confirmed it. Another thing is in one of the books, Pacifica basically admits to liking him, I listened to the dub of it a bit ago.
From the Special Edition of Journal 3: "Roses are red, Pacifica's blood is blue, I read what you crossed out, I'm on to you" Start combing your hair, brother! -Mabel
something i noticed just now. the secret room had paintings of every Northwest, except Pacifica. and she let herself stay in that room, thinking she deserves to be there after what she did to Dipper
These two are literally the only reason I’m sad this show is never coming back. Ik this show was never about shipping but they honestly were a pretty good pairing and I’m really annoyed that we never got to see them together again
I think it's nice this trope Alex Hirsh gave because Dipper is the only thing that makes Pacifica herself. The lost legends book explores more and it reveals the truth about her family and heritage and how she became an awful person, but with Dipper, she started to become more herself out of her parent's control. I really like that Pacifica World isn't the money and wealth, but it is more to Dipper appears in her life. for that, it's bittersweet to see an animated series going there.
@@primeofthejustices7127 whoever ships that just I don’t care about “in my au dipper is __ and bill is __ 🥺” N.O BILL ISNT EVEN HUMAN F YOUR AU AND F YOU
this episode touched me when she told dipper that her parents made her that way i mean she never got to be like all the other kids like him and mabel doing fun and dumb things pretty sure her parents didn't like it they be pretty mad if they saw her hanging out with them or telling everyone that all this time they lied cheated am i right
ok but has anybody noticed that when pacifica and dipper are hiding in that back room, and pacifica looks at him, pacifica has the same glimmer in her eye that fundshauser had in his eye when he realized he liked Grenda? just me? ok
I noticed that. Add the instinctual hug from her, and the lost legends book confirming that they like each other, and you have a recipe for a happy healthy ship.
I just love the dynamic they have. At first its pacifica just thinking all the pines' are lame but no real annoyance toward dipper, and dipper just teasing her because he didnt like her. And then they actually started liking eachother (in terms of canon, just as friends unfortunately)
Friendship leads to relationship dipping on the friendship. Cuz the more they hang out an just do there thing. The more they start to get to know each other an like each others qualities. Or they just vibin. So then being jus friends at the beginning is perfectly fine
3:33 The right moment Pacifica stopped being just another link in her family's chain. The moment she, not only recognized, felt terrified about her family's past.
2:23 How the shot goes from them to showing the Mayor taking cookies from a monkey, all the while Preston is talking about how he’s hosting a party for the “MoSt PoWeRfUl PeOpLe In ThE wOrLd”, always makes me chuckle a bit. Its ironic how Preston is trying to tell Dipper he’s hosting a party for powerful people, when in the background the “powerful people” include a 100+ year old mayor taking cookies from a monkey, and a basketball player. Also, at 3:45, I also find it funny that the Northwest’s actually *have* paintings of all the horrible things that they did, and plus instead of just destroying it, they just threw it away behind another painting. Like, that’s just wrong and hilarious at the same time.
Okay here are my opinions on the topic of Dipper’s love interests 1.) Wendy is that girl the middle school boys would have a crush on but has no chance with due to age 2.) Candy is what I would describe as more subtle less stalkerish version of Tootie from the fairly odd parents, she’s a sweet girl but she the girl who really wouldn’t have a serious relationship until adulthood with someone later on 3.) Pacifica oh boy where do I begin when you first see her you think she’s just a shallow, entitled, selfish brat but it was when she started talking to the “dorky and unpopular” boy whose much more down to earth and at first he had no interest in her because of how she treats his sister but eventually the walls she has up crumble down and that when they start to fall for each other. In my opinion out of all the girls Dipper is shipped with Pacifica is without a doubt the best choice for him.
If someone told me I would love Pacifica and even ship her with Dipper when I first started the series, I would have questioned whether it was me they were talking to. But this episode changed *everything*
I think what surprised me is just how one episode was enough to many people ship Dipper and Pacifica, granted there might have been few who way back in Season 1 already shipped them but that one episode in Season 2 changed everything and now...well look how far this ship sailed now, extremely popular and even given us proof from time to time
The one thing I hated about the finale of Gravity falls, was how it reverted Pacificas character development and relationship with Dipper to the state it was before that episode. Idk what they were thinking, since this episode made her my favorite character on the show and the finale did her dirty.
@@margeryojije7862 I could see that being intentional in a show where they had more time to develop it and make it more of a focus, but the way it was handled in Gravity Falls just falls flat. Now it just makes it feel like she only had development for that one episode because it was near the end of the show and then in ended after reversing that development.
It's even worse when you realize that she's not just scared of her parents cause they're naturally demanding, she was literally trained to fear them. They pavlov'ed her to fear the bell like some sort of pet they kept from misbehaving
Bro Dipper is low key savage for saying her family was a another link in world worst chain. That's probably his best roast ever along with saying that Pacifica is rich and that she cheating in life.
Would've confirmed the ship, cuz ppl don't fully know if Pacifica likes Dipper or not. Just based off watching the show, not reading the comics or whatevs
@Perfect Events I don't mean a kiss on the mouth, that would be weird, it would have been nice if pacifica would have given depper a kiss on the cheek idk
The saddest thing about this is that I’m now realizing that Pacifica was probably traumatized really badly from a young age- associated with the bell- for her to respond so quickly like that when it’s rung. Maybe she was physically hit or punished in some other form baldy enough when she didn’t respond to the bell like we now see her do
Pacifica made a better partner for Dipper, than his own sister. Mable only did things for her own benefit. It’s just refreshing to see dipper do something because he wasn’t guilt tripped into it.
It's sad how the best ships last for so short, this ship actually reminds of of Kick Buttowski and Kendall, another extremely good show that only had 2 seasons, so sad 🥺
Wow i never thought about it but your right they do have somewhat of the same dynamic also the fact that both pacifica and kendall have blonde hair and somewhat the same attitude.
I’m kind of disappointed Pacifica’s character development didn’t last. It would have been good to see a bit more of her interacting with Dipper and maybe befriending Mabel during weirdmageddon instead of losing the redemption completely.
“Pacifica Northwest is the WORST. **knock** “And that’s not just jealousy talking, I would say that to her face.” **opens door** “I need your help.” “You’re the worst.” **slams door** G O L D
I love that in the follow up comic for Gravity Falls Alex simultaneously poked fun at shippers and also gave them more content to work with, what a chad
I've been on Dippifica since this episode first came out, and as much as I Iove the cute banter and development in this episode, this also just reminds me of how much both the Pines twins helped Pacifica grow just by treating her like an equal. Pacifica's a kid who's had to live up to ridiculous expectations all her life, and both Mabel and Dipper were probably the first times anyone acted out against her and, more importantly, treated her with compassion in the rare moments Pacifica let herself be vulnerable.
@@lanie995 what is the idea behind billdip? Like He is a nightmare from a demon that has the age of the 3rd dimension and the other one is a 12 years old kid Bill didn't even show any signs of feeling towards anything nor anyone Why is that a ship¿ Like For me it would be the same as shipping Gideon and that monster that copies the bodies of live beings
I know it's late but y'all, this eps kinda sad tho. Pacifica's parent always told her abt her family's glorious and victorious events letting her to believe it and naturally develope a rlly spoiled and bratty attitude. In this eps, the truth leaked out and she learned that her family from before and even now are actually scammers and evil.
The roadside attraction episode seems like it's in the wrong spot. They just made it so they were safe in the shack, so they leave? The writers set something up with Dipper and Pacifica, and then make an episode about getting over Wendy? It just feels wrong.
Upon rewatching Northwest Mansion Mystery, I’ve got to say I completely understand where the ship is coming from and I’m proud to be a supporter of it.
I love these two. I love their chemistry this episode and they both got along really well and Pacifica had so much character growth in this episode it made me not despise her.
Pacifica is one of the few characters that Alex Hirsch has bothered mentioning what she's up to since the series ended. She's currently working at Greasy's Diner thinking about Dipper and Mabel everyday.

Like, look! 2:05 - She initiated the hug, 2:14 - she became a bit disappointed that he was going to leave, 2:39 - and then rejoiced when he returns.
It's cliché for the dork to get a crush on the popular mean girl who has no interest, but when it's reversed it just becomes really sweet, and wholesome, and not so pathetic.

So she either wants him to stay cuz they now friends or she has feelings for him. Cuz if she didn't like him she wouldn't get upset when he's leaving. Just my thoughts lol
If that’s a “trope” then it’s a rare one
Soos is a dork
Dipper is Geek
And Mabel is the sweetest little freak.
Grunkle Stan is the man.
Ford is a lord
And Wendy is at her best when she is bored.
Bill is a shill.
Gideon is a joke.
Is it just me, or is that Tad Strange fella an odd bloke?
Damn girl u smart ash
God the best plot twist wouldve been Pacifica not being an actual NorthWest XD
Then she wouldn’t have been able to break the curse
So just like star?

"Can I pay you to pretend that never happened"
I’m the 69th like, so now that it’s a funny number, we can never forget about it.
She’ll remember definitely
that's what she said
pacifica's probably gonna have to pay more than just 1$
Should’ve asked the fandom that question instead.
03:43 I never got the joke but now I realpize how hilarous a literally *painted record* of every Northwest crime is. Someone spent hours at painting their misdemeanor only for them to store it away so no one could ever see them.
My theory:
People over the decades have tried to convince the public to fight against the Northwests through painting and propaganda. However they were always caught and probably executed in the end.
this whole episode is dipper basically trying to convince himself he's committed to wendy and doesnt have a crush on pacifica
good shout 😂
Cap
@@JJ-uj4eg wdym
@@grablemon3691 cuz he ain't committed to Wendy it's so obvious
Pacifica tried to make him stay at the party and hugged him
Now there is definitely something going on between them
Hints this was coming:
1. In one of the episodes Pacifica sees Mabel holding Waddles and tells her that she found her real twin. This is obviously teasing Mabel, but ironically it's also implying that Dipper is better looking than Mabel (or just good looking in general.)
2. In the golf episode of all the insults to their family, (old, fat, braces) she called Dipper "lame" which is probably the least insulting one of them all, considering she's not making fun of anything (Stan being old, Soos' obesity, Mabel's braces) but just calling him lame.
This didn't start during Northwest Mansion Mystery, and if it did Pacifica wouldn't have gone to Dipper for help. She thinks the Pines are disgusting and poor, and she chose Dipper for the job because it was an easy way to get to know him better (and she admired his intelligence, even though he outed Nathaniel Northwest as a fraud)
Hiring Dipper to get rid of Archibald was Pacifica's father's idea.
these feel like a huge reach but nice optimism anyways
@@iantaggart3064 Actually the dad wanted someone to get hired to get rid of the ghost and Pacifica was like: DIPPER!
@@iantaggart3064 let's be real, do you think he knew enough about someone he considers so far below him he won't even share the same food as him? Or is it more likely Pacifica who clearly has SOME sort of crush/attraction to Dipper telling her dad she knows someone who can take care of the problem for them?
Also, Pacifica's feelings for Dipper were confirmed in the official "Lost Legends" comic book. And in the official third journal Dipper wrote this about Pacifica: "she's nice, smells nice (like champagne)" and "she's pretty". He also draws her looking the right way. That's also how he drew Wendy. The ship is canon and we all know it
3:06 I know people like to mention the bell, and believe you me it and its implications are disturbing, but the thing that always gets me is Pacifica's reaction to being called just another link in the world's worst chain. It isn't as if Dipper hasn't regularly insulted and demeaned her before. In this very episode he calls her the worst to her face and slams the door on her and she barely reacts, and while she does act upset when he implies that her hair is fake, it is a decidedly different emotion. Most of the time, Dipper's goading provokes outrage. This scene is totally different; Pacifica looks genuinely hurt. Dipper, too, seems genuinely hurt, not merely goading her for being annoying and stuck up but actively trying to hurt her back. The sheer amount of work the episode puts in to get to this point and make it feel like a believable place for both characters cannot be understated.
Man, when Dipper was telling her she was just “another link in the world’s worst chain,” her lip quivers in a way that looks like she’s on the verge of tears. Even as she immediately starts apologizing, you can see wrinkles just underneath her eyes. She was holding back tears. You can tell she had her feelings hurt..
I feel like Pacifica would absolutely have a rebellious teen phase, maybe even trying out some not-so-posh-and-perfect hairstyles and outfits, and judging by Dipper’s crush on the punk-loving tomboyish lumberjack teen Wendy, maybe he’d actually start crushing on Pacifica at that point in their lives

You'll find Dipper crossed out that he was talking about how she smells when you hug her, Bruh SHIP
WHERE!?
@@dumbass762 in one of the books based off of his. look up “journal 3” for gravity falls.
After reading the Lost Legends (Gravity Fall canon comic book) and seeing that one of the writters of the show leaving a easter egg that he shipped them, pretty sure comfirms this
@@mubassirzaman7202 Not only that, Alex also ships them. He didnt ship them when he was making the series but after all the hype it got he also started to like it, so its pretty much canon
@@Ceciliaqq not really, that's not how it works
I 100% believe it’s canon that they like each other. I got the journal yesterday and one of the things Dipper wrote towards the end was “She also looks kind of okay in an evening dress, I guess.” And then he writes this but draws a line over it “And when she hugs you she smells like champagne and flowers and… Am I crazy or was there some vibe going on?” When I read that I yelled “I KNEW IT” Yeah I’ve been shipping them for a long time but that kinda confirmed it. Another thing is in one of the books, Pacifica basically admits to liking him, I listened to the dub of it a bit ago.
Exactly
So glad I put my heart and soul into this ship
From the Special Edition of Journal 3:
"Roses are red,
Pacifica's blood is blue,
I read what you crossed out,
I'm on to you"
Start combing your hair, brother!
-Mabel
AHABAGAAHAYYA WHEN I READ THAT LEGITIMATELY SCREAMEDDD
Which book did she admit in liking him??
something i noticed just now. the secret room had paintings of every Northwest, except Pacifica. and she let herself stay in that room, thinking she deserves to be there after what she did to Dipper
awhh :(
These two are literally the only reason I’m sad this show is never coming back. Ik this show was never about shipping but they honestly were a pretty good pairing and I’m really annoyed that we never got to see them together again
Look into the gravity falls comics these two are there it's cute

@@bengilhooly3616let me dream
@@bengilhooly3616 yeah but one of Dipper’s search history in that book as shown would have something to do with this couple.
I think it's nice this trope Alex Hirsh gave because Dipper is the only thing that makes Pacifica herself. The lost legends book explores more and it reveals the truth about her family and heritage and how she became an awful person, but with Dipper, she started to become more herself out of her parent's control. I really like that Pacifica World isn't the money and wealth, but it is more to Dipper appears in her life. for that, it's bittersweet to see an animated series going there.
If they ever bring gravity falls back i would love to see them become a couple their chemistry is so good

this episode touched me when she told dipper that her parents made her that way i mean she never got to be like all the other kids like him and mabel doing fun and dumb things pretty sure her parents didn't like it they be pretty mad if they saw her hanging out with them or telling everyone that all this time they lied cheated am i right
ok but has anybody noticed that when pacifica and dipper are hiding in that back room, and pacifica looks at him, pacifica has the same glimmer in her eye that fundshauser had in his eye when he realized he liked Grenda? just me? ok
I noticed that. Add the instinctual hug from her, and the lost legends book confirming that they like each other, and you have a recipe for a happy healthy ship.
These two are why i started reading fanfiction
Same 😆
Same
Same 😌

I just love the dynamic they have. At first its pacifica just thinking all the pines' are lame but no real annoyance toward dipper, and dipper just teasing her because he didnt like her. And then they actually started liking eachother (in terms of canon, just as friends unfortunately)
Friendship leads to relationship dipping on the friendship. Cuz the more they hang out an just do there thing. The more they start to get to know each other an like each others qualities. Or they just vibin. So then being jus friends at the beginning is perfectly fine
Unfortunately? UNFORTUNATELY? What?
@@SuperiorChaotic Meaning it’s unfortunate that they’re only friends, though I believe various books heavily imply something more
The fact that Ford hid a "Pray for mercy" with the invisible ink seems something so sarcastic and funny
Wow, gravity falls is funny, who could've known.
3:33 The right moment Pacifica stopped being just another link in her family's chain. The moment she, not only recognized, felt terrified about her family's past.
the amount of character development in this one episode is astonishing
2:23 How the shot goes from them to showing the Mayor taking cookies from a monkey, all the while Preston is talking about how he’s hosting a party for the “MoSt PoWeRfUl PeOpLe In ThE wOrLd”, always makes me chuckle a bit. Its ironic how Preston is trying to tell Dipper he’s hosting a party for powerful people, when in the background the “powerful people” include a 100+ year old mayor taking cookies from a monkey, and a basketball player.
Also, at 3:45, I also find it funny that the Northwest’s actually *have* paintings of all the horrible things that they did, and plus instead of just destroying it, they just threw it away behind another painting. Like, that’s just wrong and hilarious at the same time.
That mayor may have possibily started ww1
Okay here are my opinions on the topic of Dipper’s love interests
1.) Wendy is that girl the middle school boys would have a crush on but has no chance with due to age
2.) Candy is what I would describe as more subtle less stalkerish version of Tootie from the fairly odd parents, she’s a sweet girl but she the girl who really wouldn’t have a serious relationship until adulthood with someone later on
3.) Pacifica oh boy where do I begin when you first see her you think she’s just a shallow, entitled, selfish brat but it was when she started talking to the “dorky and unpopular” boy whose much more down to earth and at first he had no interest in her because of how she treats his sister but eventually the walls she has up crumble down and that when they start to fall for each other.
In my opinion out of all the girls Dipper is shipped with Pacifica is without a doubt the best choice for him.
If someone told me I would love Pacifica and even ship her with Dipper when I first started the series, I would have questioned whether it was me they were talking to.
But this episode changed *everything*
I think what surprised me is just how one episode was enough to many people ship Dipper and Pacifica, granted there might have been few who way back in Season 1 already shipped them but that one episode in Season 2 changed everything and now...well look how far this ship sailed now, extremely popular and even given us proof from time to time
@@gospel1029 well because it gave a reason to why Pacifica was so horrible to everyone, and even redeemed her
3:07 "Another link in the world's worst chain"
Probably one of the best thing Dipper had ever said
Dipper and Pacifica had such an interesting dynamic, it sucks they only had one episode together.
Dipcifica was my first and lovable ship! Of all time!
Lmao, that's a hilarious ship name and I totally read it in Mabel's voice 😂
Yep, mine's too,.
The one thing I hated about the finale of Gravity falls, was how it reverted Pacificas character development and relationship with Dipper to the state it was before that episode. Idk what they were thinking, since this episode made her my favorite character on the show and the finale did her dirty.
Change isn’t always linear my friend, people expect that way too often in most redemption arcs
@@margeryojije7862 I could see that being intentional in a show where they had more time to develop it and make it more of a focus, but the way it was handled in Gravity Falls just falls flat. Now it just makes it feel like she only had development for that one episode because it was near the end of the show and then in ended after reversing that development.
It's even worse when you realize that she's not just scared of her parents cause they're naturally demanding, she was literally trained to fear them. They pavlov'ed her to fear the bell like some sort of pet they kept from misbehaving
2:06
Oh.My.God.
Bro Dipper is low key savage for saying her family was a another link in world worst chain. That's probably his best roast ever along with saying that Pacifica is rich and that she cheating in life.
And where’d she pull that cash from nobody will ever know 🧐🤯👀
She is rich
@@salvadorenoify they mean the dress doesn't like it has pockets
"What am i, made of money? Tap, tap "
I was still a little bit unsatisfied from the broken dynamic between Wendy and Dipper, but when this episode came around, I felt tons better 😂
I wish there would have been a scene where Pacifica kisses Dipper, even if it's just on the cheeks haha
aw i wish it happened
That would have been awesome
Right!
What most ppl want
Would've confirmed the ship, cuz ppl don't fully know if Pacifica likes Dipper or not. Just based off watching the show, not reading the comics or whatevs
The Fact that so much Development between these two happened in just 2 Episodes still amazes me 7 years later.

All Dipcifica Shippers gather here!

Hi there
@@collectivelykris Hi! All aboard the Dipper x Pacifica Ship! May it last forever!
I am here!
Hello Dipcifica Shippers :D
Hi
When Pacifica said “You were right about me. I am just another link in the world’s worst chain”, I felt that
Her voice went sassy to cute.
The saddest thing about this is that I’m now realizing that Pacifica was probably traumatized really badly from a young age- associated with the bell- for her to respond so quickly like that when it’s rung.
Maybe she was physically hit or punished in some other form baldy enough when she didn’t respond to the bell like we now see her do
That’s horrible
Pacifica made a better partner for Dipper, than his own sister. Mable only did things for her own benefit. It’s just refreshing to see dipper do something because he wasn’t guilt tripped into it.
Except that one time in the handpupped episode where Bill possessed dipper.
“And he should probably be out of your probably fake blonde hair”
Honestly I loved this episode because of the ship and how goofy they look together.
It's sad how the best ships last for so short, this ship actually reminds of of Kick Buttowski and Kendall, another extremely good show that only had 2 seasons, so sad 🥺
Wow i never thought about it but your right they do have somewhat of the same dynamic also the fact that both pacifica and kendall have blonde hair and somewhat the same attitude.
True
I didn't even think about that😃💕
I’m kind of disappointed Pacifica’s character development didn’t last. It would have been good to see a bit more of her interacting with Dipper and maybe befriending Mabel during weirdmageddon instead of losing the redemption completely.
Fr
They confirmed that she's working at greasy diner I'd say pacifica is still going strong on her development in Alex Hirsch mind
2:52 my dude, the boy captured a murder ghost. Look at who *you’re* talking to
Amen
Love how Dipper slams the door in her face at first.
My Teacher asked us to Photoshop a wedding card for grades and I made one with Dipper and Pacifica. Those are the good old days.

Lost Legends just brought more light to this ship and I love it.
How does Dipper and Pacifica have far more cemestry in this one episode, then Dipper and Wendy had in the whole show?
I hope this show comes back and it has a time gap of about 5 to 6 years so it can blow up on adult swim!
I love that in the follow up comic for Gravity Falls Alex simultaneously poked fun at shippers and also gave them more content to work with, what a chad
Pacifica's character redemption was so satisfying, I almost wish she got together with Dipper tbh
Literally one episode of these two and that's enough for a whole universe of fanfiction
This is one of my favourite episodes
I've been on Dippifica since this episode first came out, and as much as I Iove the cute banter and development in this episode, this also just reminds me of how much both the Pines twins helped Pacifica grow just by treating her like an equal. Pacifica's a kid who's had to live up to ridiculous expectations all her life, and both Mabel and Dipper were probably the first times anyone acted out against her and, more importantly, treated her with compassion in the rare moments Pacifica let herself be vulnerable.

I know it's late but y'all, this eps kinda sad tho. Pacifica's parent always told her abt her family's glorious and victorious events letting her to believe it and naturally develope a rlly spoiled and bratty attitude. In this eps, the truth leaked out and she learned that her family from before and even now are actually scammers and evil.
Dipper: “it’s not to late”
The ghost: “It’s To Late!”
Dipper: “don’t listen to him”
that was what was on my mind when that part happened
why am i obsessed with this ship trope hahahah
I wonder... do they like each other? Cause I saw sparks flying!!
They could've kept them together instead of having the exhausting "dipper can't get over wendy" storyline a few episodes later.
The roadside attraction episode seems like it's in the wrong spot. They just made it so they were safe in the shack, so they leave? The writers set something up with Dipper and Pacifica, and then make an episode about getting over Wendy? It just feels wrong.
Dipper told them, and he delivered it.
Such a chad
Im surprised at how well they work together. It’s pretty awesome
1:48 I guess Dipper used "Mirror Force" XD
Upon rewatching Northwest Mansion Mystery, I’ve got to say I completely understand where the ship is coming from and I’m proud to be a supporter of it.
its also very heavily hinted at in canon material like thr irl journal 3 amd the comic face it, with a mabel teasing both of them about it
I love these two. I love their chemistry this episode and they both got along really well and Pacifica had so much character growth in this episode it made me not despise her.
