YES!

While I don't hardcore champion it as much as Dibper, I'm a hardcore Gaz/Mandy shipper.

Why? It's simple, actually: whenever people compare Gaz and Mandy, it's always about who would win in a fight. But nobody ever stops to consider...what if they didn't fight each other? What if Gaz and Mandy are so similar in personality that, for once, they could have someone to relate to?

A couple of other reasons I think they mesh well:

If you're into enemies -> friends -> lovers or just enemies -> lovers or rivals -> lovers, it's easy to apply that dynamic on Gaz/Mandy

Gaz may be introverted and mean-spirited, but Gaz looks more positive when put next to Mandy (For instance, Gaz can actually smile without ending the world), so it makes an interesting dynamic

HOWEVER, unlike Gaz, Mandy shows SOME interest in social connection. She has a lifelong friend (Billy!) and had an episode where she crushed on a goth boy! So even if Mandy is more of a menace than Gaz, it's safe to say she would be the one crushing on her first (think early Lumity)

Oh yeah said goth boy dressed in black and had purple hair HMMMM 👀

Mandy is goth in personality but doesn't dress like it. Gaz isn't meant to be goth in personality, but her old style was very goth. I could easily see Mandy looking at Gaz's old dresses, really liking how they look, and Gaz is just like "mehh you can have it I guess"

Gaz is a HARDCORE gamer while Mandy has shown that she thinks video games in excess aren't good for you, so she'd balance her out

Mandy finally brings Gaz to Endsville to show her friends who she’s been stealing the scythe to visit for months and chaos ensues

Bonus:

Feel free to reblog this with your own ships and superficial reasons :>

First of all, it's either Dib's idea or Mable set them all up to go together. Gaz wouldn't want her brother to "intrude" on her date with Mandy, but Dib would be very interested in meeting Mandy: the girl dating HIS sister (gotta make sure she treats her well) and the girl who owns the mf grim reaper

If Mable planned it, they're at an arcade. If Dib planned it, they're out in the woods looking for cryptids.

In practice, Gaz would be like a fourth wheel most of the time because Dib and Dipper would have so many questions for Mandy. But she would find ways to distract them so she can get back to Gaz. Gaz is a total introvert, so she prefers less attention on her, but she would get annoyed with the guys bombarding Mandy eith pointless questions.

As for Gaz's feelings on Dipper in this scenario, I think she'd just see him as an extension of her brother. She'd be happy that they're together because it FINALLY gives Dib someone to nerd out with instead of him trying to force her into his interests. The only time Gaz and Dipper would directly bond is by playing arcade games together while Gaz gives him a talk along the lines of "Look, my brother's been looking for someone like you for a long time. DON'T RUIN IT."
