Staneda is just silly :P

enjoy!

GF Shipruary Day 10: Candip!

Lack of free time due to IRL matters in this year restricted myself from managing a full-fledged, more refined form, but at least this quick doodle allowed me to materialize one potential Candy - Dipper interaction moment when I can.

Happy Valentines Day!!

I tried not to mention ships in the list because I didn't want to ruffle any feathers, but now you've forced my hand /j

Jokes aside, I get the appeal of Dipcifica - and have enjoyed multiple fics with it! - but I don't think it's happening in my headcanons. I've always felt that Dipper post-show is a 'married to the job' kinda guy, too immersed in his Weirdness interests to really see the point in a relationship; meanwhile, Pacifica would join him on adventures but would much rather not deal with any more Weirdness than strictly necessary.

I do have a weakness for Candip, because she and Dipper have much more in common - nerd supreme, don't look after themselves (look how messy Candy's hair is usually), and can be seriously scary when they want to be. I know Roadside Attraction tried to shut this down, but Candy never got to know the real Dipper on that trip, just that corny pick-up artist persona he was putting on - give him a few years of proper conversation and a glow-up, things will be different :V. Though I'm still undecided if things go that way in my headcanon timeline, or they just remain Protective Platonic Pals.
