Gravity Falls Geekout Session

-Ever since episode 1 of season 2, I've been ridiculously excited about Dipper resurrecting the dead. The first thing that came to mind was that one-off scene from Invader Zim implying that Dib had done similar...I don't know why this odd similarity amuses me as much as it does. I guess I just really love the idea of these two meeting, geeking out about the paranormal, and sharing theories. While these two have a lot in common, Dib is far more zealous and obsessive than Dipper; while Dipper can get to Dib's level, he has other interests and concerns, as well as stopping points. Dib can't even shelve pursuing Zim for an hour to eat pizza with his family! (Dib has valid reasoning for that, of course, but I digress. Dipper would make an active effort to try and meet his family, while Dib wouldn't even try at all. I'm only pointing out differences for the sake of comparison, not pointing out who is more in the right or not.)

-I still hold the opinion that the Dipper focused episodes have been the best ones in season 2 so far (The first two episodes of this season actually led to Dipper becoming my favorite character). They seem to be the more plot-driving episodes. While I'd mark "Soos and the Real Girl" as one of my top ten favorites in the entire series overall, I'm itching to know more about the author and see where that plot thread leads. 

-As a huge fan of "Five Nights at Freddy's" and Gravity Falls, I can't express how excited I was to see evil animatronics appear in Gravity Falls. I'm fully aware that Hooty's wasn't inspired by Freddy whatsoever; it's just an awesome coincidence. I'm itching to write an AU fan fic where Dipper and Mabel visit Freddy's and Soos is the security guard...

-I remember seeing rumors about Dipper getting a new love interest that could tame dragons in a bunch of YouTube comments....I'm crossing my fingers and really hoping that's true! We still don't know who the llama is on the Cipher wheel. Give us a badass dragon tamer, please!

-I started out disliking Mabel's new love interest Gabe (I'm a MermandoXMabel shipper). Then shared a crazy, but very believable headcanon about him possibly being a rehabilitated Sev'ral Timez clone. And now I'm hoping he makes another return appearance confirming it. He has a lot of unusual potential, simply because of how bizarre and creepy he is. I also ship him with Candy.

-Bipper. Do I really need to say anything more about this? The fandom's littered with fan art of him! 

-When will Gideon return...?
