I don't think I've seen many people point out Stan's tattoo so early on, it does become fairly significant later on in the show so well spotted! The code at the end says "Sorry, Dipper, but your Wendy is in another castle"
@@Izuku_Midoriya_No.1 Yeah, I couldn't believe it when it was revealed to be a special Glyph - especially since Owl House wouldn't air for another 6 years.
The water towers are a way to gravity feed a water supply for different things. We've got giant ones for city water supplies (which is probably what the one in this episode is for) with fresh water pumped up into it and gravity forces it down and keeps water pressure steady.
To add onto this, water is pumped up almost constantly. The idea is that gravity will provide water during the times of day when demand is high & a regular pump wouldn't be able to keep up.
Isn't it that you need more pressure to pump all that water up than what you would normally require to pump it through the pipes to the city's houses? Why not pump them directly to the houses then, with lower pressure? :q Unless it's just for storage, then OK. It would also make more sense if it collected rain water, because rain water comes down from the sky naturally, so it doesn't have to be pumped up. The rain water collected in that container could then be distributed to households with gravity's help.
@@bonbonpony The water gets pumped up into the tower slower than gravity can feed it out. The gravity feeding system helps keep the pressure in the pipes up when the demand gets high. It's basically pre-pumping the water now so you don't have to pump a whole lot at once later. I don't believe they actually pump the entire water supply through the tower but even if they do the limits on the system have more to do with the maximum height you can pump the water to than with how much energy you expend because most of the energy is conserved within the system: almost all the energy used to pump it up there becomes gravitational potential energy which can be used to send it just as far. As for why they don't collect rainwater: because most American households/pipe systems don't have a feed for greywater all the collected water would still need to be fed into water treatment to clean it. They also wouldn't be very efficient water collectors compared to just using existing or man made lakes, ponds and rivers which have a much greater surface area from above.
This is the first time we see Wendy with her father and brothers at the same time. All the way back in "Legend of the Gobblewonker," we see the dad and brothers fishing, but no Wendy. At the beginning of "Dipper vs. Manliness," Wendy is sitting at the diner's counter next to her dad, watching him. Then during, "Double Dipper," Wendy showed a picture of her with her brothers. So, there were hints up to this point, but this is when they full out show them all together.
There are so many video game references, it’s great… The game Soos ‘gets inside’ is ‘NORT’… (TRON backwards) “Uppercut, Downercut…Bowl of …Punch! “This is as still as I can stay” (idle animation) “ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT!!!” (Said in the street fighter style of the “HAUDOOKEN!” move) The car smashing scene and end response is right out of the Street Fighter series “This street has really dangerous litter…” Dipper using two boards to imitate the “letterboxed” cut scene Donkey Kong reference “I have no looking up animation!” “SUPER POWER MEGA UBER PREFIX COMBO!”
I got the donkey kong and idle animation! Tho I didnt speak about them, I understood them when they were on screen but a lot of the others I missed hahaha thanks for pointing them out
@@WeeLassReacts this was a great episode for Arcade Rats like myself, sooo many memories, dear Og I’m bloody old… Also love all the Scottish mannerisms and fun stuff on your channel, I may be a stupid Yank (Maine) but I’m a big fan of British Isles culture, from Scotland, to Wales, to England (hey, I’m 1/3 Scottish myself, Scots/Brit/German ,yes, a strange combo…) and I get more than the average number of references from your channel (being a fan of Python/Dwarf/Young Ones/Fawlty/Hyperdrive/etc… helps)
the ladder thing is actually a call back from an earlier episode. Remember the ladder to the roof Wendy kept covered up and Soos was like Stan wouldn't like that. Yeah, this was why that was hidden before.
I'm not sure if old wooden water towers are still actually in use anywhere, they're just a really iconic aesthetic of the American West. Also, the "oh! my car!" bit was a reference to a classic gag from Final Fight.
They usually hold water, except when they hold molasses, but that can lead to molasses floods, which is probably the most random way to die but is a true story.
The primary function of water towers is to pressurize water for distribution. Elevating the water high above the pipes that distribute it throughout the surrounding building or community ensures that hydrostatic pressure, driven by gravity, forces the water down and through the system. Yes most are filled with water.
@@michaelward5302 It's probably not. In the commentary Alex Hirsch mentioned that "Gravity Falls" was a name he came up with in college for a story idea (still a town name though), and it wasn't until he had to come up with something for his pitch to Disney that he thought to use it. Also, there are waterfalls drawn throughout the area.
Imagine how much more it would cost to push water throughout a town rather then have a big pump push it into a tower which then uses gravity to push it down.
I mean, reasonable, but it’s not like it’s not going to all get explained later. If you miss something, then it’s generally not a huge deal. Plus, things in this show don’t start going HUGE until ep 19 and through season 2. There are tiny foreshadows, but not anything huge. I hope you are just able to enjoy it!
I love the pixel art they did in this episode, really a big love letter to video games, specially old ones. also you might be overanalyzing a tad too much but you do pick up on good and potentially important details :)
You probably have seen a few water towers around. It's just the most common ones in the UK are rectangular. They're quite often found next to railway lines. Sometimes the metal tank will be visible at the top of the building, but a lot of them just look like regular brick buildings with no windows on the top floor. When we do have round ones they tend to either look like big industrial concrete things or are disguised as fancy towers.
I think the ones next to railways lines are are hangover from when steam trains were more common, as they would need to regularly fill up on water to make steam to drive the engines.
most in the US don't look like the cartoon ones anymore either, even in rural areas you will get at most a skinny metal tower with a sphere. Otherwise its a round metal drum of a building or a smaller version of that ontop off a building.
Modern water towers in the US don't really look like that anymore, either. The "wooden barrel on a wooden scaffolding"-style water tower is the sort of thing that was common in the 1930s. Most US water towers today look more like this: preview.redd.it/r0wb5bklw49y.jpg?auto=webp&s=fa6dac0a323651fcc3eb11e2ee979bebab7dba62
You missed the biggest foreshadowing of all actually! When Soos drives up with the pickup truck, you can see that the cabinet he came out of was for a game called NORT, as in "TRON" backwards. And THAT's why his superspeed only works when he's running backwards!
... What tattoo? I like how Stan says he was expecting this but just went along with it anyway. Those are water towers, they do contain water and can be used to supply water when other means fail because they rely on pressure. They're a pretty common sight in the US. Yes, Manly Dan is Wendy's father. I don't think it's been directly stated before though. The code is "SORRY, DIPPER, BUT YOUR WENDY IS IN ANOTHER CASTLE."
This episode has a lot of video game references. Dipper: "Look at these noodle arms!". That is identical to the Owl House pilot to what Luz says. And if you plan on watching Amphibia there's another identical line. Soos: "I wonder what it would be like to go inside a video game for real" Scooby Doo Cyber chase (favourite Scooby movie) and 5 years after this episode aired, Jumanji Welcome to the jungle released. Mosco: "What's his tattoo?" There are these Gravity Falls shorts about subtle mysteries and the tattoo may be involved, and they are canon to the story and they naturally take place before season 1 episode 19, if you plan to watch them. I love Mabels' finger sweater.
Waddles is indeed incredibly important! When Dipper and Mable get trapped in a demonic cave, he learns how to talk and battles the monsters that try to eat the twins. Eventually, Waddles finds a spell to send the twins home, but he has to stay behind. It's ok though - he marries a lovely girl called "Grimhammer" and starts a family!
@@WeeLassReacts No spoilers, but since you've already seen this: minor Owl House villain Tibbles' last name is "Grimhammer", and he is vaguely pig-looking. The best real fake spoilers have a hint of truth!
Yeah I live in the American Midwest and there’s pretty much a water tower of some kind in every town on the map. And yes, the town name is always written on the water tower in big letters. Although nowadays, most water towers are made of concrete and metals rather than wood.
15:00 water towers if I’m not mistaken draw water from underground slowly, and gravity pulls it down into a house or facility. I have a stock tank and a windmill. So water gets drawn from the windmill and is stored in the tank.
Not quite. "Manly" Dan Corduroy was shown with his sons in episode 2, and their relation was established by them calling him "Dad". Wendy revealed that these same boys were her brothers in episode 7, when she shows Dipper her photo of the four of them. So, it was _technically possible_ to deduce they were one family, by that point.
Mosco, don't forget to watch the Gravity Falls shorts whenever you finish s1 (Dipper's Guide to the Unexplained, Mabel's Guide to Life, Mabel's Scrapbook, Fixin' it wih Soos, and Gravity Falls TV Shorts)
Just 9 more episodes untill the story picks up! The creator of the show even said that episode 19 is when disney finally let him have more creative freedom.
I suck at fighting games. I would be physically incapable of unleashing ultimate power. Anyway Dipper not having an actual chance with Wendy is kinda irrelevant. What's sad is that Robbie actually sees him as a credible threat. That just shows how insecure he is and probably that if Dipper was just a couple years older he knows he wouldn't have had a chance himself.
Water towers are elevated so they can pressurize the water supply for the town/building/etc. They can also be used for extra water storage in event of fires or other emergencies.
Very late comment but, water towers do hold water. It's pumped up into the tank and is used for many things depending on the area. Smaller ones are placed on buildings in cities as local water reserves for example.
That style of water tower isn't for conservation. It's actually for water pressure. Most of our water lines are on grids, so you need a high amount of pressure so they can get to all the houses evenly. Boring, complicated details aside, having a huge amount of water really high up is our solution to that problem.
One of the reasons big standalone water towers are probably more common in parts of the US than in the UK is that we have the great plains which are very flat so you have to create artificial height for them to do their job effectively. If you have a large hill nearby you can just build the water tank there without needing the obvious tower, but many parts of the US don't have natural elevation.
It _was_ technically possible to deduce that "Manly" Dan Corduroy was Wendy's dad, but it would take a good memory and an eagle eye. In episode 2 ( _Legend of the Gobblewonker_ ) Dan was shown fishing with those three boys, and they referred to him as "Dad". Five episodes later ( _Double Dipper_ ) Wendy showed a photo of herself with those same three boys and called them her brothers. In addition to that, there is the purely circumstantial stuff, like all of them sharing a hair colour and Wendy sitting next to Dan in the diner in episode 6. The mystery of Stan's tattoo is brought up explicitly in one of the _Gravity Falls_ shorts that were aired in the year between season 1 and 2, and the question is resolved in Season 2 (amidst a _massive_ avalanche of revelations, origins, and exposition). Water towers were (and are still) used in Europe as well, though around here they are usually either built of stone (the old ones) or metal. The point of a water tower is to let gravity keep up the pressure in the surrounding city's water lines. That way the water pumps are only required to push water up into the reservoir when needed, but do not have to run constantly to keep up the pressure in the pipe network. Basically it's a clever form of energy storage, in the form of potential energy. This week's code translates to, "Sorry, Dipper, but your Wendy is in another castle."
Water towers are an emergency rationing system set into the standard water piping system, they are kept full and fresh in normal times and act as a buffer of potable water so that in times of drought, problems at the water plant, mass fires, or for some other emergencies they can have their storage released and give a location water due to gravitational flow. However you can see abandoned ones in many places, and some have been repurposed over the years as well.
Water towers are a low tech way to regulate water pressure and even out water flow requirements. The difference in altitude between the water tower and the water user causes the water pressure and it stays relatively even regardless how full the tower is through gravity. So you can fill the tower at the average rate of consumption and you can have big peaks and dips in the actual usage and the pressure stays pretty even. This way the pumps don't have to be able to provide the peak consumption flow, just the average flow. Here in the Netherlands we still have a few old monumental ones, some still in use, others converted to other uses. Nowadays over here their purpose has been taken over by using bigger pump systems that can regulate water pressure by themselves because that is cheaper now with our advantages in technology. The same can also be achieved by having a reservoir on or in a hill or anything tall, as long as it's tall enough. Once you have buildings that are higher than the water pressure can manage, the buildings have to have water pumps in them to pump the water to the higher floors, or to a water tank on the roof, which works the same way as a water tower.
20:00 yeah, them being wendy's family has been confirmed for a few episodes now like in double dipper where we see a picture of her with her brothers or dipper vs manliness where she is sitting next to her dad, but don't worry, i didn't notice either until the second season lol
Here’s a thought. Compared to Mabel who stayed behind to help their Gruncle Stan get a date, enter a singing contest to help her new friends STAND UP TO THEIR LOCAL Bully, when was the last time Dipper did something that was either A) not to save Mabel from GENUINE THREATS or B) self-serving. Even now, Mabel is doing something to help her Uncle. And at her own expense because she is the one with a fear of heights now. I love Dipper, but it’s as Mabel said before. Dipper gets in his own way and he can get a win when he gets out of his own way.
Mosco, considering your reactions to the video, I highly recommend watching Gravity Falls shorts between Season 1 and Season 2. It would be more fitting than after the whole show.
If you go to Wikipedia and look up "water tower" you'll see some significant tower listed, and some cool pictures. But yeah, as others have already mentioned, it's for emergencies mostly. Sudden need for lots of water? One huge tank of H2O coming up.
Every town no matter how small has a water tank all sorts of different shapes, some can even have art on them they hold water in them and use gravity to push it threw but I need to do a bit of reference to get the details. A water tower is an elevated structure supporting a water tank constructed at a height sufficient to pressurize a distribution system for potable water, and to provide emergency storage for fire protection. Water towers often operate in conjunction with underground or surface service reservoirs, which store treated water close to where it will be used. Other types of water towers may only store raw (non-potable) water for fire protection or industrial purposes, and may not necessarily be connected to a public water supply. Water towers are able to supply water even during power outages, because they rely on hydrostatic pressure produced by elevation of water (due to gravity) to push the water into domestic and industrial water distribution systems; however, they cannot supply the water for a long time without power, because a pump is typically required to refill the tower. A water tower also serves as a reservoir to help with water needs during peak usage times. The water level in the tower typically falls during the peak usage hours of the day, and then a pump fills it back up during the night. This process also keeps the water from freezing in cold weather, since the tower is constantly being drained and refilled. History Although the use of elevated water storage tanks has existed since ancient times in various forms, the modern use of water towers for pressurized public water systems developed during the mid-19th century, as steam-pumping became more common, and better pipes that could handle higher pressures were developed. In the United Kingdom, standpipes consisted of tall, exposed, N-shaped pipes, used for pressure relief and to provide a fixed elevation for steam-driven pumping engines which tended to produce a pulsing flow, while the pressurized water distribution system required constant pressure. Standpipes also provided a convenient fixed location to measure flow rates. Designers typically enclosed the riser pipes in decorative masonry or wooden structures. By the late 19th century, standpipes grew to include storage tanks to meet the ever-increasing demands of growing cities. Many early water towers are now considered historically significant and have been included in various heritage listings around the world. Some are converted to apartments or exclusive penthouses.[4] In certain areas, such as New York City in the United States, smaller water towers are constructed for individual buildings. In California and some other states, domestic water towers enclosed by siding (tankhouses) were once built (1850s-1930s) to supply individual homes; windmills pumped water from hand-dug wells up into the tank in New York. Water towers were used to supply water stops for steam locomotives on railroad lines.[citation needed] Early steam locomotives required water stops every 7 to 10 miles (11 to 16 km). for more information google the wiki I was copying or google images "water Tower" other fun landmarks we have in America (see Goggle images) Extra Credit if you do a reaction video Water Tanks American Roadside attractions (the Mystery Shack is one such roadside attraction and reflects real places we have here) Light Houses Advertising Mascots Restaurant franchises Sculptures, monuments and memorials 9/11 Memorials Revolutionary War and Civil War historic sites Artistic power boxes Public Art works' Muffler men American Folk Lore figures and Urban Legends or Cryptids places named for celebrities murals Colonial towns Old west towns national parks and natural wonders filming locations from movies places related to historic figures actually as I list stuff, since I didn't know water towers were uniquely American Im not shore what classifies as a thing only Americans have. like do I put suspension bridges on the list? or grave yards?

I work in Water distribution, water towers provide water to a region through gravity. The higher the tower, the greater the water pressure. The company providing water will pump the water to the tower and then distribute the water to any homes or businesses. They're also only needed in flat areas, mountains normally have tanks on them providing the elevation needed.
Yeah the water towers as some have pointed out are gravity feeds. Fresh water is usually pumped up into it and then even if power goes out there will still be water for a time as it feeds back down. Old timey ones were also wells, but these days they are fancier looking, smoother and metallic with a solid body, you get small ones atop tall buildings, and you even in the desert will have these huge tanks *that can actually be refilled by trucks bringing in water* that sit atop hills above a town *for gravity feeding the water to the town below*.
We see Wendy's brothers in the clone episode as a photo, and we actually see her and Manly Dan in the diner in Dipper vs Manliness! I enjoy when shows don't always feel the need to hammer in details like this. We can piece it together ourselves thru background details!
I know I'm a year too late, but on the water tower thing. I'm studying civil engineering and yes, they're all over America. They do contain water. There is a pumping station that pumps water into the towers, which are typically near the location you want to distribute the water. I along with my partners designed a water distribution system and we had to implement a water tower into our design. Water towers provide consistent water pressure to homes and businesses. The height of the water in the tower creates pressure through gravity, which helps ensure a reliable and stable flow of water throughout the distribution system. There is a lot of engineering that goes into how much water, emergency water, fire protection, etc. I didn't know Scotland didn't have water towers, that's really interesting!
We have one in our place, a subdivision, water towers make water while distributing water to our houses at the same time. That way we still have water for at least weeks or months when a super drought comes, but good thing we still haven't experience super drought since our country is surrounded by waters.
water towers essentially store potential energy. You pump the water up, storing the energy used to do so, then when you need to use it, the weight of the water causes it to shoot out with pressure.
I think the thing about water towers is because most of the populated land in the US is flat, so water supply constantly needs power to keep the pressure in the system. Adding a reservoir higher then the rest of the town not only ensures pressure for when the power goes out, but also eliminates the need of a sophisticated system to keep the pressure constant for a whole town: Any peaks or lows in the incoming pressure turns into a harmless level change in the water in the tank, instead of affecting directly the domestic supply of the people.
I love this episode, not just for the video game references, but it's a better takedown of toxic masculinity than episode 6. There are so many subvertions of expectation. It's set up as if Dipper "manning up" will allow him to overcome the odds, but no he just gets beaten to a pulp even worse than Robbie could have done (if Robbie wasn't just as much of a "whimp") as Dipper. Oh, and the water tower is literally just that: a water tower. Gravity feeding is by far the easiest way to secure a steady water supply for a town. As long as the tank is in a higher position than any faucet in town, you have running water. And I can guarantee you, that you have these in the British Isles, though they are probably more permanent structures and less obvious.
So fresh water towers help supplement water storage and delivery to houses. Water is pumped up at night when the demand of electricity is low then is released back to help the water pumps. It is easier to use gravity to push water around then electric pumps.
i love the fact that rumble mcskirmish is based from the actual game of street fighter is awesome, and this code on the side of the arcade machine reminds me of the old nintendo game cheat code to access all kinds of cheats, i feel for dipper too, i was bullied by someone similar to robbie, and finally stood up to him, he backed off and left, its funny how stan has a fear of heights i shouldn't be laughing though, i have vertigo real bad, it affects me too
the city during the day pumps water into towers so at night or a power failure theres always water pressure in a city, since pumps usually are turned down at night if I recall for maintainence reasons
An electric pump fills the towers up, and then in the case of an emergency and the power goes out, gravity allows water to be useable until it completely drains. I don't know if they are part of the normal water system or only for emergency hydrants. Firefighter trucks use them I think.
Go down to London, there are plenty of old water towers there. They're just made of brick, and look like towers, not tubs on stilts. Water towers are used to ensure water pressure where supply is varying and unreliable.
The cheat code that brought rumble mcscirmish to life has to be based off of the komani code which is an old video game code from the 90's that goes up up down down left right left right B A The animaniacs water tower is what yako wako and dot lived in since it was empty
always loved how they play with the animation and arcade game references in this. They really put in extra effort with the visual direction and animation to make it more than just a basic reference and played with it a lot. As mentioned by others water towers are very much a thing at least in America, they're especially common or at least especially visible in small towns on flat terrain. They're basically engineers going "Hey physics, we've gotta pump a bunch of water to people but it's like super expensive to do that when everyone needs water at once. Could we like, pre-pump the water before we actually need it?" and physics going, "Sure I've got you covered have fun." If you're super curious here's a short video on the how/why: th-cam.com/video/yZwfcMSDBHs/w-d-xo.html

Well... If I had to decide between abandoning my pet or my brother not having a perfect "date" with a girl who don't even like him back, the choice is pretty obvious here, I wouldn't even hesitate, which maybe makes me a worst person than Mabel, because at least she did try to help Dipper and didn't complain much after, she just got depressed, if I was her I would have fought my brother with tooth and nail.
I don’t think we’ve seen manly Dan and his sons and Wendy in the same scene till this episode, so the fact that the penny didn’t drop till now is forgiven. However we may have seen Manly Dan in episode 3 he was in the crowd watching. But we had no way of knowing that Dan and Wendy were related then
15:07 if i'm not mistake, those store water to use in case of a drought so people don't run out of water in the house, the water is deliver to it inside through pipes that conwct it to the main water suply and the houses of the town. What are the chances of her actually reading this?
This looks like a job for random physics person! Water towers exist to provide water pressure to the water supply system without relying on electricity or tying to exactly match use. Since water pressure increases with depth you can just calculate how much height you need to get the pressure you want and it just works. It doesn't need to be powered or any maintenance besides refilling the tower as the water as it is used. It's a dead simple solution to what would otherwise be a complex problem. Of course, the area they serve needs to all be roughly at the same height otherwise the pressure will varry outside of the desired range. Also, it's not worth building unless there are a lot of people. Real engineering has a good approachable video on it I'm sure. Random physics person away!
I mean, for redeeming qualities of Mabel... There's always her taste in sweaters. She has fantastic sweaters. I don't even like sweaters and I'd totally wear some of hers. Or, I guess it's "jumpers" over there? Do you also call them sweaters interchangeably, or are they just called jumpers?
IM SORRY IN ADVANCE BECAUSE I AM VERY ANNOYING WITH DEFFENDING MABEL. Why does waddle's have to prove to be ''useful''? It made Mabel happy, it didnt hold any less significance than Dipper's crush, its something she wanted and that made her happy and a concept she got attached too. Dating Wendy is something he wanted and that made him happy and a concept he got attached to.
My opinion on the whole Mabel and waddle thing. Dipper changed the original timeline and was the reason she lost waddles in timeline, he was simply restoring the original timeline which the time police would have probably eventually restore it as well. Also I think Mabel keeping a pet she was attached to is more important than dipper getting his chance with Wendy, especially since even then dipper and Wendy were still friends.
You might have a point if it wasn't because later we see Mabel placing her random crushes of the week over Dipper's time with Wendy, his pool job and his laptop. I dunno, I find very hypocritical to put Dipper's crush under Mabel's crush, when seriously, Mabel's crushes are far more unreallistic and have bigger age gaps than Dipper's. Not fair for Dipper always having to be the one losing.
I never thought her of all people to hate Mabel I’ve seen lots of people love her and thought she was a fan favorite into I saw people calling her the worst character even more than perifica(I don’t care enough to try to spell her name right take it or leave it) which can’t be real and I actually kind of like Robbie for some reason well at least tolerate him

The water towers are a way to gravity feed a water supply for different things. We've got giant ones for city water supplies (which is probably what the one in this episode is for) with fresh water pumped up into it and gravity forces it down and keeps water pressure steady.
To add onto this, water is pumped up almost constantly. The idea is that gravity will provide water during the times of day when demand is high & a regular pump wouldn't be able to keep up.
Isn't it that you need more pressure to pump all that water up than what you would normally require to pump it through the pipes to the city's houses? Why not pump them directly to the houses then, with lower pressure? :q Unless it's just for storage, then OK.
It would also make more sense if it collected rain water, because rain water comes down from the sky naturally, so it doesn't have to be pumped up. The rain water collected in that container could then be distributed to households with gravity's help.
Thats FASCINATING!!! All our water runs underground! So we have nothing like this anywhere in Scotland (not that I've seen)
@@bonbonpony The water gets pumped up into the tower slower than gravity can feed it out. The gravity feeding system helps keep the pressure in the pipes up when the demand gets high. It's basically pre-pumping the water now so you don't have to pump a whole lot at once later.
I don't believe they actually pump the entire water supply through the tower but even if they do the limits on the system have more to do with the maximum height you can pump the water to than with how much energy you expend because most of the energy is conserved within the system: almost all the energy used to pump it up there becomes gravitational potential energy which can be used to send it just as far.
As for why they don't collect rainwater: because most American households/pipe systems don't have a feed for greywater all the collected water would still need to be fed into water treatment to clean it. They also wouldn't be very efficient water collectors compared to just using existing or man made lakes, ponds and rivers which have a much greater surface area from above.

“Says the guy who wears the same pants everyday!” Beautiful way to open the video
This is the first time we see Wendy with her father and brothers at the same time. All the way back in "Legend of the Gobblewonker," we see the dad and brothers fishing, but no Wendy. At the beginning of "Dipper vs. Manliness," Wendy is sitting at the diner's counter next to her dad, watching him. Then during, "Double Dipper," Wendy showed a picture of her with her brothers. So, there were hints up to this point, but this is when they full out show them all together.
It’s obvious, that Wendy’s true father is actually Fiddleford McGucket, the cipher do decode it is extremely well hidden…
There are so many video game references, it’s great…
The game Soos ‘gets inside’ is ‘NORT’… (TRON backwards)
“Uppercut, Downercut…Bowl of …Punch!
“This is as still as I can stay” (idle animation)
“ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT!!!” (Said in the street fighter style of the “HAUDOOKEN!” move)
The car smashing scene and end response is right out of the Street Fighter series
“This street has really dangerous litter…”
Dipper using two boards to imitate the “letterboxed” cut scene
Donkey Kong reference
“I have no looking up animation!”
“SUPER POWER MEGA UBER PREFIX COMBO!”
I got the donkey kong and idle animation! Tho I didnt speak about them, I understood them when they were on screen but a lot of the others I missed hahaha thanks for pointing them out
@@WeeLassReacts this was a great episode for Arcade Rats like myself, sooo many memories, dear Og I’m bloody old…
Also love all the Scottish mannerisms and fun stuff on your channel, I may be a stupid Yank (Maine) but I’m a big fan of British Isles culture, from Scotland, to Wales, to England (hey, I’m 1/3 Scottish myself, Scots/Brit/German ,yes, a strange combo…) and I get more than the average number of references from your channel (being a fan of Python/Dwarf/Young Ones/Fawlty/Hyperdrive/etc… helps)
the ladder thing is actually a call back from an earlier episode. Remember the ladder to the roof Wendy kept covered up and Soos was like Stan wouldn't like that. Yeah, this was why that was hidden before.
I'm pretty sure it was mainly because she didn't want him finding her hangout space, but that's a good additional explanation.
I'm not sure if old wooden water towers are still actually in use anywhere, they're just a really iconic aesthetic of the American West.
Also, the "oh! my car!" bit was a reference to a classic gag from Final Fight.
It’s very important. i cannot wait for you to see just what the triangle is, Mosco
They usually hold water, except when they hold molasses, but that can lead to molasses floods, which is probably the most random way to die but is a true story.
The primary function of water towers is to pressurize water for distribution. Elevating the water high above the pipes that distribute it throughout the surrounding building or community ensures that hydrostatic pressure, driven by gravity, forces the water down and through the system. Yes most are filled with water.
Hence the name of the show Gravity Falls.🤔💡
@@michaelward5302 It's probably not. In the commentary Alex Hirsch mentioned that "Gravity Falls" was a name he came up with in college for a story idea (still a town name though), and it wasn't until he had to come up with something for his pitch to Disney that he thought to use it.
Also, there are waterfalls drawn throughout the area.
I can’t believe that Dr. Karate not only killed Rumble’s father… multiple times… but that he was the author of the journals!
And the reveal in season 4 that the entire show was nothing more than a Sims style virtual people simulator…
@@MacTechG4 If only Dipper had learned that the spoons were fake sooner...
@@MattTOB618 Mgucket, I think it’s time to get off the phone.
@@thatrandomdude_404 It was meant to be a Matrix reference, but that works, too 😂
water towers both store water, but becuase they are elevated, they can use water pressure to supply homes with water even during blackouts
Imagine how much more it would cost to push water throughout a town rather then have a big pump push it into a tower which then uses gravity to push it down.
This show has a lot of random conversations, don’t think too hard on what could be relevant because than you’ll miss all the fun!
BUT WHAT IF I MISS SOMETHING!?!!?
I mean, reasonable, but it’s not like it’s not going to all get explained later. If you miss something, then it’s generally not a huge deal. Plus, things in this show don’t start going HUGE until ep 19 and through season 2. There are tiny foreshadows, but not anything huge. I hope you are just able to enjoy it!
I love the pixel art they did in this episode, really a big love letter to video games, specially old ones.
also you might be overanalyzing a tad too much but you do pick up on good and potentially important details :)
You probably have seen a few water towers around. It's just the most common ones in the UK are rectangular. They're quite often found next to railway lines. Sometimes the metal tank will be visible at the top of the building, but a lot of them just look like regular brick buildings with no windows on the top floor. When we do have round ones they tend to either look like big industrial concrete things or are disguised as fancy towers.
I think the ones next to railways lines are are hangover from when steam trains were more common, as they would need to regularly fill up on water to make steam to drive the engines.
most in the US don't look like the cartoon ones anymore either, even in rural areas you will get at most a skinny metal tower with a sphere. Otherwise its a round metal drum of a building or a smaller version of that ontop off a building.
Modern water towers in the US don't really look like that anymore, either. The "wooden barrel on a wooden scaffolding"-style water tower is the sort of thing that was common in the 1930s. Most US water towers today look more like this: preview.redd.it/r0wb5bklw49y.jpg?auto=webp&s=fa6dac0a323651fcc3eb11e2ee979bebab7dba62
Yeah I just googled them and they look NOTHING like this! The one in Glasgow looks like a UFO LOL
You missed the biggest foreshadowing of all actually! When Soos drives up with the pickup truck, you can see that the cabinet he came out of was for a game called NORT, as in "TRON" backwards. And THAT's why his superspeed only works when he's running backwards!
Actually, it's a reference to Kingdom Hearts.
... What tattoo?
I like how Stan says he was expecting this but just went along with it anyway.
Those are water towers, they do contain water and can be used to supply water when other means fail because they rely on pressure. They're a pretty common sight in the US.
Yes, Manly Dan is Wendy's father. I don't think it's been directly stated before though.
The code is "SORRY, DIPPER, BUT YOUR WENDY IS IN ANOTHER CASTLE."
This episode has a lot of video game references.
Dipper: "Look at these noodle arms!".
That is identical to the Owl House pilot to what Luz says. And if you plan on watching Amphibia there's another identical line.
Soos: "I wonder what it would be like to go inside a video game for real"
Scooby Doo Cyber chase (favourite Scooby movie) and 5 years after this episode aired, Jumanji Welcome to the jungle released.
Mosco: "What's his tattoo?"
There are these Gravity Falls shorts about subtle mysteries and the tattoo may be involved, and they are canon to the story and they naturally take place before season 1 episode 19, if you plan to watch them.
I love Mabels' finger sweater.
It wasn't the pilot, it was episode 1 of TOH, though what Luz said was "No! My weak nerd arms!"
I figured there was probably a lot of references I didnt get hahaha
Waddles is indeed incredibly important! When Dipper and Mable get trapped in a demonic cave, he learns how to talk and battles the monsters that try to eat the twins. Eventually, Waddles finds a spell to send the twins home, but he has to stay behind. It's ok though - he marries a lovely girl called "Grimhammer" and starts a family!
Also, Waddles is actually the secret identity of Neil Degrasse Tyson…
I feel like theres references / and / or / hidden jokes in this comment that I am not getting hahaha! *Sus eyes*
@@WeeLassReacts No spoilers, but since you've already seen this: minor Owl House villain Tibbles' last name is "Grimhammer", and he is vaguely pig-looking. The best real fake spoilers have a hint of truth!
Yeah I live in the American Midwest and there’s pretty much a water tower of some kind in every town on the map. And yes, the town name is always written on the water tower in big letters. Although nowadays, most water towers are made of concrete and metals rather than wood.
Waddles is the key to EVERY mystery in the show, and he’s the only reason Gruncle Stan survives the finale.
15:00 water towers if I’m not mistaken draw water from underground slowly, and gravity pulls it down into a house or facility. I have a stock tank and a windmill. So water gets drawn from the windmill and is stored in the tank.
Don't worry, this is (I believe ^^") the first time we got concrete information about the lumberjack being Wendy's family
We saw them together in the Diner in episode 6 but nothing beyond that.
Not quite. "Manly" Dan Corduroy was shown with his sons in episode 2, and their relation was established by them calling him "Dad". Wendy revealed that these same boys were her brothers in episode 7, when she shows Dipper her photo of the four of them. So, it was _technically possible_ to deduce they were one family, by that point.
@@SebastianWeinberg yea it was fairly clear after she said those were her brothers
Characters: *says quirky nonsequiters about robotic pancakes or something*
"IS THIS A FORESHADOW?"
Mosco, don't forget to watch the Gravity Falls shorts whenever you finish s1 (Dipper's Guide to the Unexplained, Mabel's Guide to Life, Mabel's Scrapbook, Fixin' it wih Soos, and Gravity Falls TV Shorts)
Just 9 more episodes untill the story picks up! The creator of the show even said that episode 19 is when disney finally let him have more creative freedom.
I suck at fighting games. I would be physically incapable of unleashing ultimate power.
Anyway Dipper not having an actual chance with Wendy is kinda irrelevant. What's sad is that Robbie actually sees him as a credible threat. That just shows how insecure he is and probably that if Dipper was just a couple years older he knows he wouldn't have had a chance himself.
Water towers are elevated so they can pressurize the water supply for the town/building/etc. They can also be used for extra water storage in event of fires or other emergencies.
Very late comment but, water towers do hold water. It's pumped up into the tank and is used for many things depending on the area. Smaller ones are placed on buildings in cities as local water reserves for example.
That style of water tower isn't for conservation. It's actually for water pressure. Most of our water lines are on grids, so you need a high amount of pressure so they can get to all the houses evenly. Boring, complicated details aside, having a huge amount of water really high up is our solution to that problem.
One of the reasons big standalone water towers are probably more common in parts of the US than in the UK is that we have the great plains which are very flat so you have to create artificial height for them to do their job effectively. If you have a large hill nearby you can just build the water tank there without needing the obvious tower, but many parts of the US don't have natural elevation.
Good on Dipper for seeing and correcting his mistakes!
It's times like this I wonder if Dipper even remembered his almost DEADLY triumph over the Multibear.
Compared to that beast, Robbie is a joke...
It _was_ technically possible to deduce that "Manly" Dan Corduroy was Wendy's dad, but it would take a good memory and an eagle eye. In episode 2 ( _Legend of the Gobblewonker_ ) Dan was shown fishing with those three boys, and they referred to him as "Dad". Five episodes later ( _Double Dipper_ ) Wendy showed a photo of herself with those same three boys and called them her brothers. In addition to that, there is the purely circumstantial stuff, like all of them sharing a hair colour and Wendy sitting next to Dan in the diner in episode 6.
The mystery of Stan's tattoo is brought up explicitly in one of the _Gravity Falls_ shorts that were aired in the year between season 1 and 2, and the question is resolved in Season 2 (amidst a _massive_ avalanche of revelations, origins, and exposition).
Water towers were (and are still) used in Europe as well, though around here they are usually either built of stone (the old ones) or metal. The point of a water tower is to let gravity keep up the pressure in the surrounding city's water lines. That way the water pumps are only required to push water up into the reservoir when needed, but do not have to run constantly to keep up the pressure in the pipe network. Basically it's a clever form of energy storage, in the form of potential energy.
This week's code translates to, "Sorry, Dipper, but your Wendy is in another castle."
Yayyy, been waiting more Gravity Falls reactionsssss
Water towers are an emergency rationing system set into the standard water piping system, they are kept full and fresh in normal times and act as a buffer of potable water so that in times of drought, problems at the water plant, mass fires, or for some other emergencies they can have their storage released and give a location water due to gravitational flow. However you can see abandoned ones in many places, and some have been repurposed over the years as well.
Water towers are a low tech way to regulate water pressure and even out water flow requirements. The difference in altitude between the water tower and the water user causes the water pressure and it stays relatively even regardless how full the tower is through gravity. So you can fill the tower at the average rate of consumption and you can have big peaks and dips in the actual usage and the pressure stays pretty even. This way the pumps don't have to be able to provide the peak consumption flow, just the average flow. Here in the Netherlands we still have a few old monumental ones, some still in use, others converted to other uses. Nowadays over here their purpose has been taken over by using bigger pump systems that can regulate water pressure by themselves because that is cheaper now with our advantages in technology. The same can also be achieved by having a reservoir on or in a hill or anything tall, as long as it's tall enough.
Once you have buildings that are higher than the water pressure can manage, the buildings have to have water pumps in them to pump the water to the higher floors, or to a water tank on the roof, which works the same way as a water tower.
20:00 yeah, them being wendy's family has been confirmed for a few episodes now like in double dipper where we see a picture of her with her brothers or dipper vs manliness where she is sitting next to her dad, but don't worry, i didn't notice either until the second season lol
Here’s a thought. Compared to Mabel who stayed behind to help their Gruncle Stan get a date, enter a singing contest to help her new friends STAND UP TO THEIR LOCAL Bully, when was the last time Dipper did something that was either A) not to save Mabel from GENUINE THREATS or B) self-serving. Even now, Mabel is doing something to help her Uncle. And at her own expense because she is the one with a fear of heights now. I love Dipper, but it’s as Mabel said before. Dipper gets in his own way and he can get a win when he gets out of his own way.
Very excited to meet Rumble McSkirmish, the first of many fantastic gaming characters.
Mosco, considering your reactions to the video, I highly recommend watching Gravity Falls shorts between Season 1 and Season 2. It would be more fitting than after the whole show.
If you go to Wikipedia and look up "water tower" you'll see some significant tower listed, and some cool pictures.
But yeah, as others have already mentioned, it's for emergencies mostly. Sudden need for lots of water? One huge tank of H2O coming up.
Every town no matter how small has a water tank all sorts of different shapes, some can even have art on them
they hold water in them and use gravity to push it threw but I need to do a bit of reference to get the details.
A water tower is an elevated structure supporting a water tank constructed at a height sufficient to pressurize a distribution system for potable water, and to provide emergency storage for fire protection. Water towers often operate in conjunction with underground or surface service reservoirs, which store treated water close to where it will be used. Other types of water towers may only store raw (non-potable) water for fire protection or industrial purposes, and may not necessarily be connected to a public water supply.
Water towers are able to supply water even during power outages, because they rely on hydrostatic pressure produced by elevation of water (due to gravity) to push the water into domestic and industrial water distribution systems; however, they cannot supply the water for a long time without power, because a pump is typically required to refill the tower. A water tower also serves as a reservoir to help with water needs during peak usage times. The water level in the tower typically falls during the peak usage hours of the day, and then a pump fills it back up during the night. This process also keeps the water from freezing in cold weather, since the tower is constantly being drained and refilled.
History
Although the use of elevated water storage tanks has existed since ancient times in various forms, the modern use of water towers for pressurized public water systems developed during the mid-19th century, as steam-pumping became more common, and better pipes that could handle higher pressures were developed. In the United Kingdom, standpipes consisted of tall, exposed, N-shaped pipes, used for pressure relief and to provide a fixed elevation for steam-driven pumping engines which tended to produce a pulsing flow, while the pressurized water distribution system required constant pressure. Standpipes also provided a convenient fixed location to measure flow rates. Designers typically enclosed the riser pipes in decorative masonry or wooden structures. By the late 19th century, standpipes grew to include storage tanks to meet the ever-increasing demands of growing cities.
Many early water towers are now considered historically significant and have been included in various heritage listings around the world. Some are converted to apartments or exclusive penthouses.[4] In certain areas, such as New York City in the United States, smaller water towers are constructed for individual buildings. In California and some other states, domestic water towers enclosed by siding (tankhouses) were once built (1850s-1930s) to supply individual homes; windmills pumped water from hand-dug wells up into the tank in New York.
Water towers were used to supply water stops for steam locomotives on railroad lines.[citation needed] Early steam locomotives required water stops every 7 to 10 miles (11 to 16 km).

actually as I list stuff, since I didn't know water towers were uniquely American Im not shore what classifies as a thing only Americans have.
like do I put suspension bridges on the list? or grave yards? Wind Turbines? Amusement Parks? like what's a thing I see every day that I don't think is special but actually is special? I would love a place where I could post photos or some things and then link you.
I work in Water distribution, water towers provide water to a region through gravity. The higher the tower, the greater the water pressure. The company providing water will pump the water to the tower and then distribute the water to any homes or businesses. They're also only needed in flat areas, mountains normally have tanks on them providing the elevation needed.
I should add, many skyscrapers have their own water tank(s) on or near the top of the building.
20:57 Decrypted: Sorry Dipper, but your Wendy is in another castle.
Yeah the water towers as some have pointed out are gravity feeds. Fresh water is usually pumped up into it and then even if power goes out there will still be water for a time as it feeds back down. Old timey ones were also wells, but these days they are fancier looking, smoother and metallic with a solid body, you get small ones atop tall buildings, and you even in the desert will have these huge tanks *that can actually be refilled by trucks bringing in water* that sit atop hills above a town *for gravity feeding the water to the town below*.
We see Wendy's brothers in the clone episode as a photo, and we actually see her and Manly Dan in the diner in Dipper vs Manliness!
I enjoy when shows don't always feel the need to hammer in details like this. We can piece it together ourselves thru background details!
I know I'm a year too late, but on the water tower thing. I'm studying civil engineering and yes, they're all over America. They do contain water. There is a pumping station that pumps water into the towers, which are typically near the location you want to distribute the water. I along with my partners designed a water distribution system and we had to implement a water tower into our design.
Water towers provide consistent water pressure to homes and businesses. The height of the water in the tower creates pressure through gravity, which helps ensure a reliable and stable flow of water throughout the distribution system.
There is a lot of engineering that goes into how much water, emergency water, fire protection, etc.
I didn't know Scotland didn't have water towers, that's really interesting!
Hi nuggies and hi Mosco, loving your reactions as always 💜
We have one in our place, a subdivision, water towers make water while distributing water to our houses at the same time. That way we still have water for at least weeks or months when a super drought comes, but good thing we still haven't experience super drought since our country is surrounded by waters.
water towers essentially store potential energy. You pump the water up, storing the energy used to do so, then when you need to use it, the weight of the water causes it to shoot out with pressure.
I think the thing about water towers is because most of the populated land in the US is flat, so water supply constantly needs power to keep the pressure in the system. Adding a reservoir higher then the rest of the town not only ensures pressure for when the power goes out, but also eliminates the need of a sophisticated system to keep the pressure constant for a whole town: Any peaks or lows in the incoming pressure turns into a harmless level change in the water in the tank, instead of affecting directly the domestic supply of the people.
I love this episode, not just for the video game references, but it's a better takedown of toxic masculinity than episode 6.
There are so many subvertions of expectation. It's set up as if Dipper "manning up" will allow him to overcome the odds, but no he just gets beaten to a pulp even worse than Robbie could have done (if Robbie wasn't just as much of a "whimp") as Dipper.
Oh, and the water tower is literally just that: a water tower. Gravity feeding is by far the easiest way to secure a steady water supply for a town. As long as the tank is in a higher position than any faucet in town, you have running water.
And I can guarantee you, that you have these in the British Isles, though they are probably more permanent structures and less obvious.
We all need a Soos in our lives.
So fresh water towers help supplement water storage and delivery to houses. Water is pumped up at night when the demand of electricity is low then is released back to help the water pumps. It is easier to use gravity to push water around then electric pumps.
Waddles goes back in time and is actually the inventor of Pitt Cola.
i love the fact that rumble mcskirmish is based from the actual game of street fighter is awesome, and this code on the side of the arcade machine reminds me of the old nintendo game cheat code to access all kinds of cheats, i feel for dipper too, i was bullied by someone similar to robbie, and finally stood up to him, he backed off and left, its funny how stan has a fear of heights i shouldn't be laughing though, i have vertigo real bad, it affects me too
the city during the day pumps water into towers so at night or a power failure theres always water pressure in a city, since pumps usually are turned down at night if I recall for maintainence reasons
Holy crap. I never noticed the triangle in the game before.
An electric pump fills the towers up, and then in the case of an emergency and the power goes out, gravity allows water to be useable until it completely drains. I don't know if they are part of the normal water system or only for emergency hydrants. Firefighter trucks use them I think.
3:55 Buddy, Literally Every Animated Cartoon character is always wearing the same Clothes 😂😂😂😂😂 The writing in this show I can’t
Go down to London, there are plenty of old water towers there. They're just made of brick, and look like towers, not tubs on stilts.
Water towers are used to ensure water pressure where supply is varying and unreliable.
Only just found your channel, I’m a few months late but I love how protective over dipper you are 😂
I need that shirt of mabels with the two hands…i feel like you could likely use a few too haha
The cheat code that brought rumble mcscirmish to life has to be based off of the komani code which is an old video game code from the 90's that goes up up down down left right left right B A
The animaniacs water tower is what yako wako and dot lived in since it was empty
dipper and mabel are twins. They're the same age.
Winners don't lose!
Water is pumped into the tower to create water pressure at the tap and also for putting out fires
always loved how they play with the animation and arcade game references in this. They really put in extra effort with the visual direction and animation to make it more than just a basic reference and played with it a lot.
As mentioned by others water towers are very much a thing at least in America, they're especially common or at least especially visible in small towns on flat terrain. They're basically engineers going "Hey physics, we've gotta pump a bunch of water to people but it's like super expensive to do that when everyone needs water at once. Could we like, pre-pump the water before we actually need it?" and physics going, "Sure I've got you covered have fun."

Waddles is the MOST IMPORTANT character in the show! Blenden(the Time Traveler) called Waddles their leader. A coincidence? I think NOT!
Thx for the reaction
I love how much you love Dipper. Him and Stan are the best
Well... If I had to decide between abandoning my pet or my brother not having a perfect "date" with a girl who don't even like him back, the choice is pretty obvious here, I wouldn't even hesitate, which maybe makes me a worst person than Mabel, because at least she did try to help Dipper and didn't complain much after, she just got depressed, if I was her I would have fought my brother with tooth and nail.
I don’t think we’ve seen manly Dan and his sons and Wendy in the same scene till this episode, so the fact that the penny didn’t drop till now is forgiven.
However we may have seen Manly Dan in episode 3 he was in the crowd watching. But we had no way of knowing that Dan and Wendy were related then
We’re getting closer to episode 1x19…
15:07 if i'm not mistake, those store water to use in case of a drought so people don't run out of water in the house, the water is deliver to it inside through pipes that conwct it to the main water suply and the houses of the town.
What are the chances of her actually reading this?
Half-way through the season!

Waddles does, in fact, become indispensable.
And... Tattoo? Stan doesn't have a tattoo.
Water tower are there to keep good water pressure
They pull water out of the ground and store it until it is needed and then they use gravity to pull it down a tube when they need it.
I've always wondered why Mabel wears the Irish colours in this episode. It's hard not to notice, being from Ireland xD
This looks like a job for random physics person!
Water towers exist to provide water pressure to the water supply system without relying on electricity or tying to exactly match use. Since water pressure increases with depth you can just calculate how much height you need to get the pressure you want and it just works. It doesn't need to be powered or any maintenance besides refilling the tower as the water as it is used. It's a dead simple solution to what would otherwise be a complex problem. Of course, the area they serve needs to all be roughly at the same height otherwise the pressure will varry outside of the desired range. Also, it's not worth building unless there are a lot of people. Real engineering has a good approachable video on it I'm sure.
Random physics person away!
They r filled with water and help put out fires
This is the child that would eventually beat the hell out of Gideon and throw a punch at an all powerful interdimensional demon
6:22 Preach!
4:13 This but for Mabel
I mean, for redeeming qualities of Mabel... There's always her taste in sweaters. She has fantastic sweaters. I don't even like sweaters and I'd totally wear some of hers. Or, I guess it's "jumpers" over there? Do you also call them sweaters interchangeably, or are they just called jumpers?
0:50 i have never seen/ noticed this
9:20 *excitedly* _No_ 😄
Do you plan on watching the Gravity Falls shorts? They aired in between season 1 & 2.
Wendy being related to Lumberjack dude and the other kids wasn't made explicitly clear before. You aren't stupid. ;)
IM SORRY IN ADVANCE BECAUSE I AM VERY ANNOYING WITH DEFFENDING MABEL. Why does waddle's have to prove to be ''useful''? It made Mabel happy, it didnt hold any less significance than Dipper's crush, its something she wanted and that made her happy and a concept she got attached too. Dating Wendy is something he wanted and that made him happy and a concept he got attached to.
My opinion on the whole Mabel and waddle thing. Dipper changed the original timeline and was the reason she lost waddles in timeline, he was simply restoring the original timeline which the time police would have probably eventually restore it as well. Also I think Mabel keeping a pet she was attached to is more important than dipper getting his chance with Wendy, especially since even then dipper and Wendy were still friends.
You might have a point if it wasn't because later we see Mabel placing her random crushes of the week over Dipper's time with Wendy, his pool job and his laptop. I dunno, I find very hypocritical to put Dipper's crush under Mabel's crush, when seriously, Mabel's crushes are far more unreallistic and have bigger age gaps than Dipper's. Not fair for Dipper always having to be the one losing.
I never thought her of all people to hate Mabel I’ve seen lots of people love her and thought she was a fan favorite into I saw people calling her the worst character even more than perifica(I don’t care enough to try to spell her name right take it or leave it) which can’t be real and I actually kind of like Robbie for some reason well at least tolerate him
