#Suddenly he had a decent complexion and he'd grown into his gangliness and all that exploring had finally built some muscle on his frame

If Stan notices all the people who like Dipper, did Mabel or Pacifica notice when they were growing up?

I feel like Mabel missed in this area! I can see a lot of misdirected attention and wrong guesses, with her wanting to be a matchmaker for her brother, while simultaneously having the wrong instincts. Mabel's got rose-colored glasses on, and she's very firm about her opinions.

Meanwhile, Pacifica was in the right circles to hear people say they'd date Dipper Pines - then look around at their peers, and instantly play it off as a joke. Like, what? That weak nerd? No chance, haha, just kidding. That obviously raised a perfectly threaded eyebrow.

While Pacifica might be really out of touch with different social classes - she's not dumb.

#Headcanon that Dipper had a really awkward puberty phase #We're talking full on pizza face #Not quite fitting into his limbs and greasy - don't even get started on the voice cracking all the time #That cleared up after a year or two #Suddenly he had a decent complexion and he'd grown into his gangliness and all that exploring had finally built some muscle on his frame #And he started turning heads #Except the awkward phase was in recent memory so it was social suicide to admit you'd date that nerd #Combine that with social awkwardness and weak magically and wow like definitely still a huge nerd #And it wasn't the greatest combination #Also headcanon that Pacifica may have made a few comments about him being decently cute now #If only to salvage the ego of some of her friends that were interested #She is again not dumb and Dipper was shaping up well #But that didn't fly great so she shrugged it off #High school was gonna be over soon in any case #Everyone had already graduated prior to the start of Faking It #answers #Dipper in this AU is a pretty cute guy - but if you asked Bill? #He's Absolutely The Cutest Human. No Contest #Objectively he might be wrong but Subjectively? For once he's telling the absolute truth #He'd pick this weird unshowered nerd with a cheetos stain on his shirt and five-o-clock shadow going before he picked a sexy model #He's very biased and an unreliable narrator #Bill is Deeply In Love and it's Incurable
