I’m tired of seeing ‘Dipper’s name is Abel’ everywhere so allow me to make my own post to throw my two cents in.
First of all, the tree said ‘Mabel x Mabel’
And given it’s a tree full of her crushes, it looks like Mabel has decided to love herself!! You go girl.
Now allow me to make a compelling argument for why Dipper’s real name is probably Marty.
Here’s a picture of Marty McFly from Back to the Future, a movie Gravity Falls has already referenced numerous times. Dipper’s clothes are a color reverse of what he’s wearing basically. This alone is enough for me to think that Dipper’s real name is probably Marty as another nod to the movie but, it actually fits with what we know about his name too.
1) Marty and Mabel fits the twin first letter the same thing. (Stanford and Stanley, Ariel and Alex)
2) Also Dipper is sitting after Mabel on picture day, so alphabetically his name must be after hers (this also rules out Abel) and Marty DOES come after Mabel.
3) Oh look Marty McFly even has a Dippy Fresh version of himself.
And with that I rest my case.
Ford and Marty and their adventures, Marty. Ford and Marty, forever and forever, a hundred years Ford and Marty.
