Any headcanons for Dipper and Mabel as they grow older? Like, what will their careers will be?
Dipper, I truly believe follow’s his dream and goes on to a tech school to learn filmmaking and does independent studies on the paranormal and “oddology”.
He gets a comfortable income through his YouTube videos, Patreon, TikTok and such, where he travels to famous haunted locations like the Stanley Hotel or Queen Mary. He makes multi hour long specials about Gravity Falls. At some point he does a multi part series where he tagged along with Stan and Ford out to the Arctic.
Mabel starts a small business where she sells her knitted quilts, clothes, and accessories. She frequents trade shows which do alright, but her online shop keeps her lights on. She also gets a cut when she makes appearances in Dipper’s videos, makes art for his socials (cover art, thumbnails ect). But I like to think she pays her rent by job hopping. I feel like she wouldn’t be able to sit still employed in one place, and has worked just about every restaurant in Piedmont. Collecting and displaying all her name tags on a corkboard. She also volunteers at the local shelters to walk dogs and play with the kitties on her off time. She eventually goes on to her nursing assistant certificate to take care of an elderly Ford and Stan after they retire to the lake house
