Agreed. It was perfectly normal for Dipper to have a crush on Wendy, but him realizing that it can't work and moving on was an important part of his growth as a character. Trying to make it happen regardless kinda invalidates his development. Plus, Dipper's dynamic with Pacifica is more interesting, and I wish we'd seen more of it.
Two years matter a lot a that age. And while I agree that as both get older a two year gap would be nothing... I think the fact that they knew each other at that age makes it weird and awkward. Like, a 10 year gap between someone who is 50 and someone who is 40 isn't that big a deal. But if they knew each other back when one was 20 and the other 10... It feels different. Get what I mean? Like... the age difference matters less as both get older, but the established age gap remains?
I agree wholeheartedly, especially because you get the chance to see how much of her negative traits are entirely based on being shielded from others or denied the exposure that would let her learn better.
You're right, thank you kind user. I don't know why I said it was Echo Creek, must have had a brain fart. In my defence I'd had a stressful day and didn't think before I posed the comment.
You gotta have some nuance here. Nothing inappropriate happened between Dipper and Wendy, either in the show or in this comic. They explored awkward teen crushes, which is a real thing, and they resolved it by saying "nah."
It's exhausting watching people try to be the morality police on kids cartoons. Go complain about ICE if you want to fight evil.
I don't see how this is different. It's still exploring awkward teen crushes, and leaving it unresolved. Saying there's potential in the future isn't inappropriate.
When two children have feelings for each other, the best practice is to shun them and not be supportive at all while they explore emotions that are new for them, clearly. This is about using nostalgia of when crushes were innocent and delightful to remind the reader of better times while letting them identify with the characters.
You know that teenagers date right? This isn't about sex. It's about a kid's crush. No. It isn't creepy as fuck. It's sweet when kids have crushes. Why are you weirded out by crushes? That's on you.

Kinda creepy tbh.

Was expecting Mabel to fold it into a hat and have the message revealed through silliness, though it wouldn't make sense for Wendy to do that.

Oh God my heart.

Paper jam Dipper welcomed death.

Really. This was the only one I knew about.

Well there are other clips that he's done; I think that's all there is to this particular one

go and read the comment section from this imgur post from 2014 :D thank me later /gallery/every-fucking-time-DsAM8yF#/
Sloppydrunkcatlady
Anyone else prefer him and Pacifica over him and Wendy? I can only see a cool older sister with Wendy
MidoryMoon
Fun note, the Amphibia crew actually dropped a hidden Dipcifica reference in one of their episodes.

Show me

Still prefer Dipper and a reformed Pacifica over Dipper and Wendy
LincLoud
There is a comic that has that happen, sort of. It's from the creator, I believe.
sherlockhooves
You have a link?

You can't read it here, but this is the name and other info. https://comicvine.gamespot.com/disney-gravity-falls-lost-legends/4050-112579/

There is canonically a two year age gap between them. Wendy's just tall. And Dipper very much isn't.

There was an afterstory comic book that added a bit more to Dipper and Pacifica eventually being a thing.
Fastjack2056
I don't understand what this has to do with the Owl House, tho
sailorjurai108
I dont think this is one of MoringMark’s comics but not sure…I know he did do Gravity Falls before Owl House
MidoryMoon
It does remind me of the time Moringmark shipped Hunter with both Blight twins...
MoreCatsThanSense
It's Echo Creek, not The Owl House.
drpain522
Gravity Falls

MoreCatsThanSense
Not only that, the name is listed in the Tags....... DOH!!
Revicus
Nothing. Was that in the tags at some point or something? I'm not seeing it there currently but maybe it was edited.
AVerySillyPuppy
Gravity Falls, predates Owl House by 8 years.
Nerdy0ne
And is better IMO
AVerySillyPuppy
Better ending, Owl House was better overall.
meme2zombie
I don't understand why you think it does or is supposed to?
Fastjack2056
Just a joke. We get about 50 Owl House comics on the frontpage for every Gravity Falls comic.
meme2zombie
Oh woosh, yeah that works XD
PrincessLeliana
Why are yall trying to ship people with kids
Altanese
Is this one of those anti-ship things that bombastically claims moral concerns but is spread primarily by groomers to teens on TikTok and Discord?

VosperOfAntarctica
Why are ICE trying to human traffic kids???
MimiMaura1996
they are kidnapping people on the street, including women and children and making them disappear.
KafkasKarma
Just shipping them anywhere. Even if they have cancer.
ChiLLeCheeze
Gotta legally transport them to the pedos somehow.
MithridateEupator
Ok. But then this comic purposefully undoes all of that and insists that there is a romantic connection. You can't have it both ways.
Fastjack2056
I don't see how this is different. It's still exploring awkward teen crushes, and leaving it unresolved. Saying there's potential in the future isn't inappropriate.
keyblader1985
Insists that there is? It's a comic. You do realize this isn't canon?
MithridateEupator
Fine. Fantasizes that there is. You understand that isn't any better, right?
keyblader1985
No.
Oh God; a teenager likes a younger kid in a non-canon comic based on a fictional cartoon! We're all going to prison!
drousnavat
Isn't the age difference 3 years? Plus it directly addressed that by saying when he's older
imgurmage
Two years at the end of the show. 13 and 15. It's also just a crush.
PrincessLeliana
i mean still, shipping a 15 year old with a 12 year old is still creepy.

insane that everyone is downvoting it lmao. Creepy as fuck

Why are you making this about sex? You're the creepy one.
drousnavat
Youre acting like they want the characters to fuck when it's literally a childhood crush.

You know that teenagers date right? This isn't about sex. It's about a kid's crush. No. It isn't creepy as fuck. It's sweet when kids have crushes. Why are you weirded out by crushes? That's on you.
