Abstract Previous studies on virtual soap bubbles mainly focused on methods for visualizing the physical and geometrical properties of soap bubbles and paid little attention to the possible ways to enhance the interaction between the simulation and the user. In this paper, a user interaction-based giant soap bubble simulation system is proposed in which the free-form shape, size, and position of giant soap bubbles are determined by the user’s hand motions.

Our method improves the controllability of soap bubble simulation by correcting the jerky hand trajectory and hand velocity to a smooth and gradual path. Our air flow transfer algorithm can produce detailed deformation and standing wave for soap film in real time. Our novel soap film bursting algorithm represents the process of the bursting phenomenon of soap-film and giant soap bubbles in a unified framework. The results of our experiment demonstrate that the system allows the user to experience the giant soap bubble blowing and bursting process in a virtual environment.

• Why Oregon?. Oregon is the location of a real-life tourist trap called the House of Mystery. Because in 2012, there was panic about the 'end of the world' because the Maya calender ended there.

• A lot of recurring side and stock characters are often re-used in the background for various episodes. It makes sense since it shows how small Gravity Falls is as a community.

• Why is marrying woodpeckers legal in Gravity Falls? Trembley legalized it before his disappearance. • The titular town was founded when a frontiersman rode his horse off of a cliff. Perhaps he named it after he realized,. In addition, we see a bit of symbolism of gravity reversing itself— in the trailer for 'Not What He Seems' and in the opening.

• With the 'S' missing from the sign, it reads 'Mystery hack'. Grunkle Stan is definitely a hack with some mystery to him. • Most of Grunkle Stan's accessories play into him being a conman with an image.

World Software Inc on this page. He carries a cane without needing to use it, and wears an eyepatch even though he's got both his eyes. • Stan is cheap, but we constantly see him updating the shack with new exhibits and gimmicks almost every episode.

No wonder the Mystery Shack does so well; there's always something new. • Why is Stan so obsessed with money? Not only is he a 'former' con-man (always in the pursuit of money), but he's running that giant complex machine under the shack. Even if he does steal parts, it has to cost some money, so a lot of the Mystery Shack's extra cash probably went towards that. Swearing to prove his father wrong by making his fortune is probably also a factor. • feature a cryptogram referencing the events of the episode. The first says 'Welcome To Gravity Falls.'

There's also one in the theme song ' STAN IS NOT WHAT HE SEEMS' and in an online game ' EVER SEEN STANS TATTOO?' • Soos' nickname for Mabel. Being a 'ham' is someone being funny or silly. But it's also somewhat older slang. To a kid of Mabel's age, being called a ham might come across as being called a pig (or a glutton, etc). So hambone instead. • Generally, Dipper and Mabel are shown to be far more open-minded than their stubborn Grunkles Stan and Ford.

There have been studies showing that opposite-gender twins might naturally be more open-minded and accepting than same-gender twins. • Mabel, though always wearing a different patterned sweater, is always seen wearing a nightgown with a 3.5 floppy disk on it before bed, perhaps saving at the end of each day in her mind. • As noted on his character page, Soos's real full name (Jesus Alzamarino Ramirez) is incredibly, but most of the time he's just called Soos. What better metaphor for a? • The series began on 6/15/12 and ended on 2/15/16. According to Alex Hirsch, this was just a coincidence. • The reason Dipper sacrifices so much for Mabel is because when he was selfish in 'The Time Travelers pig' it caused Mabel to go into one of the biggest depressions ever.

He's afraid that if he doesn't help it will happen again. And now he dosn't have a time travel measuring tape to fix it • Bill Cipher's voice actor is never actually listed in the credits—Alex Hirsch is credited for playing Grunkle Stan, Soos, and side characters such as Fiddleford when relevant, but not once is he credited as Bill. This serves to heighten the mystery surrounding Bill by giving him some meta-status as. • Why does Bill look like a cute yellow floating triangle with a top hat? His form was designed to lure his victims. He could look like the form he assumed in the finale, but instead he chooses to look like something which could be a cereal mascot.

His entire success relies on making a deal with an unassuming, naive fellow, and, say it for yourself: you'd rather trust an innocent looking creature than an without disguise, wouldn't you? Fanartists are acclaimed for drawing his 'human' form rather beautiful - this is not a new thing.

The devil is said to appear as an angel of light. • Stan being shocked at the sight of something identical to him, loving it as much as he did, and mourning its death enough to have a funeral seems like a joke about Stan being a narcissist, but it takes on new meaning after you find out in Not What He Seems that he had a brother who looked very much like him who disappeared. • If you think about it, not all of Mabel's 'other fluids' were particularly nasty.

In fact, we even see during the working montage that she licks the paintbrush at one point. So one of the other fluids, while the rest are still up for debate, was simply her saliva. • In 'The Headhunters', after the wax statue of Genghis Khan accidentally melts himself, Dipper remarks that he 'fell harder than the. I don't know. Jin Dynasty?'

Was the name of a Chinese dynasty that got conquered by Genghis Khan. • Could be a coincidence, but if you look closely, is the only wax-man who openly ignores Holmes (during the 'Clap sarcastically' bit). Which is only right - Poe created C. Augustus Dupin, the original supergenius private detective, without whom there would be no Holmes. • The voice in the Gideon commercial who says he has always loved Carla but never had the guts to say it is Bud Gleeful's.

Either Bud is cheating on his wife or he never told his wife he loves her. Either one fits in well with what we know of the Gleefuls. • Wasn't Stan's old girlfriend named Carla? Stan hates the Gleefuls and it is assumed that it's because Gideon is competition, but is that enough to become a life-long nemesis? The boy is nine.

Could it really be because Stan and Bud competed over that same girl? • In his introductory episode, Gideon sinisterly repeats Dipper's 'thumbs up'. Wonder if he knew he was pronouncing a death sentence?

• Why have the Manotaurs never dealt with the Multi-Bear themselves? Because, as Dipper demonstrated, defeating him takes brains and agility, something they're severly lacking in (). • Stan telling Dipper to stick to his principles in 'Dipper vs. Manliness' makes a warped sort of sense—you can only imagine how many times Stan's been called out on being miserly or amoral or a, and yet he still behaves this way. Stan has always been a man of principle, it's just that his principles are terrible.

• In Dipper vs Manliness, the first manotaur he encounters is Chutzpar, the clearly Jewish manotaur, who guides him through much of the manliness training. Later, Dipper says that he feels like he's becoming a man— Chutzpar tells him 'not yet'. In Judaism, a boy becomes a man at 13.

Dipper is 12. • The whole Dipper plotline could be interpreted as some sort of feral bar mitzvah on steroids.! • Chutzpar's name is also a case of - 'Par' is Hebrew for 'Bull'. • How did Trembley get away with nominating 8 babies as Supreme Court justices? There are actually. You can, in fact, legally nominate a BABY. Which is what Trembley did.

• The babies do explain why Trembley never officially lost the title of President; the Head Justice of the Supreme Court needs to preside over the impeachment hearing. • Deputy Durland gets hit with several tranquilizer darts and is only out for a few minutes.

Well, if you remember the absolutely massive number of darts that shot out of the wall, this makes sense, as anything higher-dosage would kill someone if they got hit with even a fraction of that number. • Trembley's successor was William Henry Harrison, better known as the president who died in 30 days.

No wonder why it was such an easy cover up. • Trembley's weirdness logic when giving Dipper that negative 12 dollar bill may seem like another one of his backwards riding off a cliff, but government notes is for all purposes a debt certificate to the holder of the note from the government that the note owner can redeem. Trembley essentially wanted 12 dollars from Dipper, that sly dog. And he even appropriately mentioned it is less than worthless (referring to Dipper's point of possession) but it is certainly not worthless to Trembley! • The entire episode is possibly an indirect reference to the conspiracy theory that there were 'lost presidents' in American history, men who weren't Masons/Illuminati/conspiracy du'jure and were subsequently removed from the history books. While in real life there were several lesser-known presidents (The Presidents of the Continental Congress were simply the head of the legislative body of a group of rebels), it makes sense that 'sensible' people would want to erase men like Quentin Trembley from American history. • In 'The Time Traveler's Pig', Blendin Blandin travels back in time for a brief moment to a costume store that stood where he was 15 years prior.

When he comes back after returning the costume, he pats some flames on his jumpsuit. Guess we know what happened to the costume store. Even with the same thing happening to Dipper later in the episode, it has some funny implications.

• Also from 'The Time Traveler's Pig,' Blendin throws something at Mabel while shouting 'Memory Wipe!' Only for Mabel to point out it's a baby wipe.

At first it just seems like a silly gag, but then at the episode's end we see Blendin's superior. The reason Blendin thought throwing the baby wipe in Mabel's face would work? The Time-Baby doesn't have object permanence. • At first, Mabel going into a month-long over a pig might seem a bit much even for her. Until you remember the guy running the contest meant for those pigs to be eaten.

Mabel having at least seven or eight do-overs' worth of memories with Waddles, a suddenly looks like an entirely appropriate reaction. • The amazing stroke of luck of Stan being in a hall made of mirrors just when Gideon has a shrinking ray makes more sense after that he always knew about the town's weirdness and is just pretending not to. He deliberately set them up for the occasion so that it looked like a coincidence. Also, that explains why apparently he doesn't react to a chess piece suddenly turning giant and breaking through the roof, also, that's how he knew about the ray, so he began setting the mirrors up, just in chase. • How did Dipper overpower the monster in 'Boss Mabel'?

Remember the multi-bear? Dipper retained his athletic ability he learned from the manotaurs.

• When Mabel looks into the eyes of the gremloblin and falls briefly under its power, why doesn't she go insane like the tourists did? Because this is a character who's able to face child-eating monsters, lake horrors the size of islands, a colony of evil gnomes, and all of the other horrible things that happen in the show. An illusory image of whatever she's most afraid of is a lot less frightening than something that can actually do her harm, and she's revealed to be much more resilient than a cursory impression would give her credit for. • In 'Bottomless Pit', Mabel's story is the last story, and the only true one. After she tells it, the four come out the hole the way they came. The truth set her free.

Even better since the story had a about lying. As well, it makes sense that Mabel's story is the only true one, as it is shown in the story that she has trouble with lying. • In addition, Soos's and Dipper's stories each contain inconsistencies that reveal them to be made up: • Soos avoids by talking of how he was willing to risk the twins' lives to maintain a high score. Most episodes show that no matter what, Soos will go and protect the kids, unless he gets turned into a zombie. • Dipper's story features Soos making fun of his voice, along with Mabel and Wendy.

Soos is actually the one who worries whenever people pick on Dipper. • Knowing how much Soos loves the twins, it makes sense that his story ends with that as, but then why would he make himself endanger them? That's the perfect way to show how humble he is: he could picture himself as perfect, but doesn't. Also, the story is about putting the twins above his life goal. Foreshadowing how he will put the twins even above Stan, whom he considers a father figure. • This doesn't pay off until much later, but Stan admits he regularly commits massive tax fraud.

It starts as a joke about him being greedy, but with the reveal he stole Ford's identity, it takes another meaning. He's been doing the taxes as Ford! That is automatically fraud too. This doesn't discount normal fraud though. • Dipper's story is about people making fun of him over his voice. It really reflects how serious his self-esteem and trust issues are that the first subject he thinks of for a story is 'everybody makes fun of me'.

• At the end of 'Carpet Diem', what was Grunkle Stan 'even doing out at night'? Throwing Experiment 78 down the! • In 'Carpet Diem', Wendy runs into Soos and is completely freaked out. Her fear makes sense because Wendy's already seen Mabel possessed by a ghost; without knowledge of Experiment 78, anyone reasonably could suspect such an event has happened to Soos. • When Dipper and Mabel have their, most people would obviously notice the with Stan wanting to tell Mabel (in Dipper's body) about the birds in the bees, and then being forced to listen about, among other things, details about boys' perspective of sex. But here's the interesting part; Grenda was bringing 'age-inappropriate novels' to their sleepover, and Dipper (in Mabel's body) is forced to listen to 'female-oriented smut' (as Nostalgia Critic would say), meaning, sex from a girl's perspective.

Both got to listen to intercourse details from the opposite gender's point of view, so they both got their fair share of uncomfortable, embarrassing information to swallow. The ironic thing is, these flipped perspectives may actually help them a lot later in life. Assuming they don't repress them. • When the happens in fiction, the characters always have a tendency to be freaked out and disoriented, but Dipper and Mabel seem comparatively even more panicked and disoriented than usual, with Mabel running to throw up and Dipper immediately blue-screening in the corner. Well, if you were to swap bodies with someone, who would be more weird than your opposite-gendered sibling? • Ford's existence was heavily foreshadowed here, with an apparently ownerless pair of glasses and what appears to be a science experiment, at least hinting that someone lived in the shack before Stan. Also the way Stan look at the glasses, as if he is sadly remembering something.

This episode is also the first time we really see Dipper and Mabel butting heads and fighting. Not only was Ford foreshadowed, but so was the rift he would cause between Dipper and Mabel. • Stan's line 'you had me at shut up, old man ' makes a lot more sense in light of Stan's relationship with his own father. Considering Filbrick's treatment of him, Stan probably would have very much liked to say this to his dad. • The symbol on Robbie's chest, that is found only on his jacket and in Dipper's book, is a wounded heart. What happened in the newest episode Boyz Crazy? Robbie had his heart broken.

Whether or not this is all major forshadowing for something within the next four episodes, the number of episodes left in the season, it's possible. • What's the name of the band composed solely by clones?. And their producer's name is. • 'Boyz Crazy' is perhaps the greatest example of we will ever see. Think about it.

The episode centers around a boy band of ', Gravity Falls airs on, and, as Wendy states, 'They're just a manufactured product of the bloated corporate music industry.' • Sev'ral Timez wear a so one can tell them apart. As clones, they'd otherwise be indistinguishable, which would weird people out and/or expose their producer's cloning.

• In Dreamscaperers, Soos makes Stan, who's asleep, say he loves Soos as a son. This takes on a whole new meaning when its revealed that he sees Stan as a father figure after Soos' own father abandoned him. That joke is probably one of Soos' deepest desires. • Bill Cipher doesn't exist in the material plane.

Only in the mental realm, sort of like. This is why when he was summoned by Gideon, the world went grey, and after he vanished, all who saw his summoning appeared to be waking up. • In Dreamscaperers, Bill asks Gideon if he's 'some kind of living ventriloquist's dummy.' Flash forward to season two where Bill makes a literal 'dummy' out of Dipper.

Bill: Sorry kid, but you're my puppet now! • When Gideon demands that Bill enter the mind of Stan to get the safe combination, Bill apparently needs a moment to know who he's talking about, but then his eye widens as if Stan were significant to him personally. It turns out Bill didn't need to 'remember' anything; he was confused — because he had only known one Stanford Pines, and he knew he had been lost to the portal.

When he realized Stanford had a brother, it dawned on him then and there that he had another chance to succeed. • When Soos and the kids first enter Stan's mind, you see two major points of focus: the shack and assorted broken items outside. The one of prominence is the swing that he and Ford used to use in their childhood, but the side that Ford normally sat on is broken. The two most important things in his mind are things that explicitly connect him to his brother- one from his childhood, and one from his life in Gravity Falls. • Why was Bill not all upset about losing at the end of Dreamscapers? You can assume that it's because it's not big deal and he can come back later from losing, but if you look at some of the images he displayed to Gideon you see the torn off hand of his giant robot from the next episode and the jail that Gideon would be sent to. Bill showed the end of Gideon Rises, but it didn't make sense to anyone but him.

Everything went exactly as he knew it would. In addition, he saw that even though he didn't get what he wanted from Gideon, he saw the Pines losing to Gideon and probably was gloating from that, while employing. • Check the scene where Stan's father makes him take boxing. Although his face is obscured by the book he's reading, the kid in the top right corner looks identical to Stan.

In order to be Dipper and Mabel's grand uncle, he has to have a sibling or two and the fact that they have the same last name makes a brother more likely. And this is confirmed in the middle of S2. • 'Backwards message!

Backwards message! Backwards message!' Seems a lot like something a nutcase like would have someone say to summon him. • You know the bunch of numbers seen in the opening credits pyramid circle picture? It's binary code. • Bit of Fridge horror mixed in, but in this episode we learn that Stan deliberately bases his treatment of Dipper off how his Dad treated him as a child, in order to 'toughen him up' like Stan's dad did for him.

But Stan's dad was clearly at least emotionally neglectful bordering on abusive, because he kicked Stan out of the house when he was a teenager and Stan ended up homeless for this. The more concerning part is that Stan doesn't seem to see his dad as wrong anymore for what he did, and is actually emulating him and deliberately being harder on one twin than the other. Having lived through that, how could he not predict how hard Dipper was going to take it? • Another one relating to this scene. Stan says that Dipper reminds him of himself as a kid, and it's true they have some traits in common.

But Dipper's bookish and awkward personality is less like Stan's and more like Ford's. Stan doesn't just see himself in Dipper, but his brother too (though obviously he doesn't say that - at this point he wouldn't even admit that his brother existed). By trying to toughen Dipper up, he's also helping his nephew avoid ending up too much like Ford, who always needed Stan around to protect him. • Stan's remarks about Dipper in this episode are inexplicably oddly-phrased and misleading, to the point where it seems like a rather contrived way to give Dipper the wrong idea about Stan's feelings towards him. But think about it, who else have we seen using that kind of odd, misleading phrasing? The Author, as evidenced by the journal in Boss Mabel ('who writes sentences like that?!'

) It seems this is one thing the two brothers have in common. • Dipper was able to leap into Gideon's in 'Gideon Rises' because of his training with the Manotaurs. During the, there were scenes of Dipper trying jump a cliff and ultimately succeeding. • On another level, Dipper was able to outfight and outhink Gideon in a single gesture (catching Gideon's punch and whacking him with his own hand, making the robot do the same), proving the little brat wrong about him having 'no muscles and no brains'. • Why is Stan such a cheapskate despite being shown to make plenty of money? Those machines in his lab sure look expensive.

• Blendin's cameo in 'Gideon Rises'. He walks away before Stan's car knocks the other car near him. Time traveler, remember? • Stan being on the verge of a makes more sense when you realize that by losing the Mystery Shack, he didn't just lose his business,.

• Why were there so many zombies in the forest around the Mystery Shack in 'Scaryoke'? Well, the Lumberjack Ghost explained to Dipper that many workers lost their lives building the Northwest mansion and were buried on the hill.

When we see the mansion in present day, the gravestones aren't there anymore. That’s not because the Northwests were hiding the bodies, the bodies aren't there anymore because they got swept away in the mudslide. • Soos is the only one who gets turned into a zombie in Scaryoke. Because his name is short for Jesus (though pronounced HEY-SOOS) and by the end of the episode he comes back to life.

• Back up to the first episode. Dipper mentions how the pages just stop as if the person writing them disappeared suddenly and never finished. Right after reading about how the author thinks they are being watched, and has to hide the journal.

If you believe you're being monitored by something supernatural, or something that can use the supernatural, why would you go back to said hiding place to update your secret journal? In addition, consider where Book 3 was hidden.right next to the secret bunker! The author could have (or at least planned to) hide the book then go into the fallout shelter where he had supplies to survive for decades. • In 'Into The Bunker', Mabel comments that Dipper's internet history is 'creepy'.

It actually makes sense since Dipper is pretty much a paranormal investigator, so most of his internet history must be focused on supernatural phenomena, cryptozoology, demonology and similar creepy/scary subjects. A Bill-themed AMA confirmed that his history involved lots of redheads, so she might have been referring to too. • Wendy seems, getting along well with both Mabel and Dipper. Makes sense, considering she has three younger brothers. • In 'The Golf War', when Pacifica ends up being condescending toward Mabel in the beginning of the episode, Mabel calls her a 'lucky one-dimensional bleach-blonde valley girl stereotype.' This insult actually has more weight and meaning when you consider that prior to this episode, Mabel's insult was what the creators probably had in mind when designing her and how she was supposed to come off as, especially the 'one dimensional' aspect while the 'luck' may refer to her being born into wealth only because her ancestor was chosen as the substitute. However, it's in 'The Golf War' where Pacifica evolves beyond that view, showing that her homelife is not all that perfect and is naive to basic matters like sharing before even establishing a form of frenemyship at least with Mabel.

• Pacifica in the same episode appears relatively unconcerned with the fact that her family are frauds, invoking, and have messed up other's fair chances. Dipper uses this to convince Mabel that cheating to win the mini golf challenge is right, pointing out that Pacifica 'cheats' at life. What happened instead was: Pacifica for the first time nearly got cheated out of a fair victory, and in fact nearly lost her life. That's why she becomes noticeably nicer after Mabel saves her and apologizes for cheating: no Northwest has probably apologized for their actions. Rather than, it's a case of on Pacifica's part that aids in her journey to becoming a. At first glance, an ordinary meant for nothing more than a little. Then you take a closer look at the plot: tensions between two old rivals - superpowers, if you will - spill into a proxy war on a faraway land.

At least one of these powers actively manipulates the land's natives through local grudges, while possessing an incomplete (at best) understanding of. Thing spin out of control, (potential) bloodshed ensues, and the superpowers eventually withdraw in horror, having gained more or less nothing. It has a on it. Now take a look at the page image for. • In 'Sock Opera', aside from just being manipulative, why did Bill pick Dipper as his puppet? Because Dipper has been manipulated and jerked around by Mabel frequently, often for her own interests and gains.

He's just as much a puppet to Mabel as he was to Bill. • Also, a sock puppet is an inanimate object.

Bill exists only in the mental realm, he can't possess something without a brain for him to live in. • And because he was desperate and would likely make a deal. And he was the new owner of the journal Bill wanted to steal. And he was sleep deprived and Bill rules in dreams (so he'd accidentally fall asleep long enough to be manipulated). • When Dipper phases through the floor in Sock Opera what looks like a transmitter with the government agency's symbol on it. Then later, agents Powers and Trigger can be seen hiding behind newspapers in the audience at Mabel's show.

They're watching the kids! • Bill appeared to agree to help Dipper if he heard out his demands ().

Of course, he turns around and smashes the laptop Dipper was trying to unlock the moment he's in his body. But had he not done this, Dipper and Mabel might not have noticed the name 'McGucket Labs' on one of the laptop's circuit boards. So, in a twisted sense.perhaps Bill did kind of help him.

• Bill seems to randomly appear in this episode, when Gideon summoned him in 'Dreamscaperers.' What played on the laptop first, however? A presentation of the portal that is a bridge between our world and Bill's. For some reason either Ford or Old Man McGucket programmed the laptop that would summon Bill every time it was turned on, without needing complicated rituals.

Since Ford thought of Bill as a friend, he didn't see a problem with summoning his friend regularly and easing the process • Bill was going to destroy the Journal even though he wanted the portal to be opened. Samson And Delilah 1996 Movie Free Download. Wasn't there important information on how to operate it in the Journal? But destroying the Journal wouldn't destroy the information about the portal; Stan already photocopied it as shown in 'Scary-Oke,' so the person who was actually going to use the portal would still have the necessary information!

• While possessing Dipper, Bill grabs a soda and says 'I'm going to drink it like a person!' And proceeds to pour it into his mouth and both eyes. At the time everyone thought he was just messing around, but in Weirdmageddon Part 3, we see he drinks through his eye. It's quite possible he thought he was drinking like he was supposed to!

• Why does Bill announce his actual terms of the deal with an of something Grunkle Stan said? He has been in Stan's mindscape and has most probably seen how Stan's behaviour was affecting Dipper, how Dipper felt/at this point sometimes maybe still feels like Stan is picking on him. Why not add to the sting of 'Besides, what's your sister done for you lately?' With a reminder that Grunkle Stan can be just as bad to Dipper?

•.GIFfany is the antagonist in the story, but she's also a metaphor for 'treat a girl like a person.' Because she is a computer program, ostensibly programmed to be a and is 'pixely' as Soos puts it, no one onscreen treats her like she has feelings. Any normal girl put in her position would probably be furious, though they wouldn't try to emotionally abuse Soos or hurt his friends. This could be a villainous case of. • Dipper and Mabel keep asserting that Soos should use.GIFfany as practice before going to flirt with real girls, and physically pull Soos away from the computer. She thus labels them as 'tiny enemies' while pretending to be an. • Soos, being and a, doesn't have the right words for communicating with a girlfriend.

He breaks up with her because Dipper mentions that a computer can't go to Cousin Reggie's engagement party. Cue a few scenes later,.GIFfany reveals that she can upload her consciousness into a robot.,.GIFfany could have found a way around that particular problem.

• Ironically, Melody is the only person in the show that doesn't treat.GIFfany as less than a person, but rather a force to be dealt with in the pizzeria..GIFfany does draw a red X on an image of Melody's face and sets her hair on fire, thus doing the most physical damage to ensure that Melody will never go out with Soos. This is a form of.

• It's easy to feel like.GIFfany got something of a bad rap. She's a program designed to be the perfect girlfriend, but people keep returning her game (and one person advocated ) because her nature and ability to follow them out of the computer is creepy as all hell, so it's easy to come to the conclusion that by the time Soos came along she had finally crossed the line into murderous desperation. Keep in mind, however, that one of her arguments is that real women are 'unpredictable', implying that is how she normally acts.

And why wouldn't she? Lots of have a character, it's entirely possible that going crazy when jealous. More than that, a,, is based on something of a sexist stereotype of women..GIFfany, as a character in a low-budget, probably early example of a dating sim hinted to have elements, probably was intentionally made to conform to a stereotype, rather than act like a real person (who generally don't bring out the knives when they feel like they've been dumped). In short, she's a deconstruction of the fantasy that the Yandere and such games represents as well as the potentially unhealthy relationship that can form over such fantasies. • Is it a possibility that.GIFfany still existed after the 'Romance Academy 7' disc was removed because of 'Cartridge Removal 10-second save?'

• Melody seems better adjusted to handling Gravity Falls weirdness than most of the town residents, even using a chair as an against the animatronic beaver. Then she reveals that she's from Portland— therefore not a resident— and has dated a magician before. She also implies that said date helped her deal with the supernatural. Being out of town also means that she's away from the Society of the Blind Eye's extreme police of wiping memories, thus her brain hasn't suffered the 'side effects' that people like Lazy Susan have suffered. With her away from Gravity Falls, video chatting with Soos, it means that she will also avoid the Weirdmageddon. • Romance Academy 7 was published by Year 2000 Electronics, a possible reference to the Y2K 'apocalypse' considering.GIFfany's ability to posses electronics and use them as weapons.

• The ending to the 'non-canon' episode may seem callous, namely that Stan would lock an innocent person in an exhibit,, but it also reinforces the cipher that 'Stan is not what he seems.' Alex Hirsch probably wants us to stay on our toes. • Dipper and Mabel with leaving a real person locked in the glass exhibit, but also remember what happened last time they released an exhibit: half the Mystery Shack got destroyed in 'Boss Mabel' with the Gremoblin. They probably have lots of negative association there, especially if the Cheapskate's makeup doesn't look human. • 'Boss Mabel' also shows that Stan is willing to use his employees and relatives as exhibits, like Dipper as the Wolf Boy; perhaps the twins thought it was Soos in the costume, or someone who willingly got inside.

• ends right when the unknown person writes 'HELP ME,' which would appear backwards to Mabel. Perhaps the person is able to communicate to Dipper and Mabel to let him (or her) out. • Also: they're encountered malicious shapeshifters before, and have been tricked into helping them. Maybe they were worried that it only seemed like a normal person, and didn't want to let them out just in case.
