Points below the cut! Feel free to vote and help reblog for larger sample count!
Pros:
Dipper is always a fan of the supernatural, so its a great opportunity for him to do further research of his interests
Ford has 12 PHDs, so he's a suitable teacher and mentor for Dipper
Dipper also has friends (Soos and Wendy) in Gravity Falls rather than Pidemont (from Escape from Reality it's implied he didn't have as many friends). He would be able to craft a better social life in Gravity Falls
Throughout the show we see how their actions are dependent of each others'. If Dipper stays in GF. It not only allows him to grow independently of his sister, but similarly for Mabel. Also, Mabel letting Dipper go would be a key development of her arc, for she had mainly been selfish towards her brother during the show.
Cons:
No Mabel by his side. But they can still compromise with video chat. This isn't the 50s or 60s when the separation means more for the Stans.
The Mystery Shack would be no more as Ford reclaims his home for scientific research. Stan might be forcibly removed unless the two somehow worked out their issues.
Dipper is only 12/13 and isn't old or mature enough to be away from his parents
While a decent teacher, Ford doesn't seem to be a competent caretaker. He currently still sees Dipper as a lab assistant; essentially another adult, rather than a child who despite being mature in some ways, is still woefully underdeveloped in others.
Ford does not, currently, exist in any legal sense thanks to Stan assuming his identity for the last 30 years and faking his own death. No form of education he could offer would be recognized as legitimate until he can reclaim his identity, which would likely take at least a year if not more.
Apprenticeships in this day and age are *secondary* education, like a trade school. Dipper still need to graduate high school or its equivalent first, or resolve plenty of legalities and so on.
Thanks to @theoryofweirdness and @detectivejigsawpines for sharing more of the points for deliberation! Feel free to vote and reblog for larger sample size!

Wendip and other asks are going to be answered soon but!! Apprentice au!
Dipper and Mabel went back to California for two years before Ford offers the apprenticeship to BOTH mystery twins! Mabel works part time at the mystery shack with soos and melody, taking Wendy's place after she moved to Portland for college
Ford and Stanley both take turns teaching them life lessons and etc fuck I hope I put the tags right, but I have plans

Day 3 of @dickgraysonweek! This consistency of posting ends here so I can focus on my day 6 entry.
Day 3: DILF Dick Grayson | Apologizing To Dick | Time Loop
Bruce was at the door with a book in his hands. He always came with a book, cowl down, casually. When he'd first arrived, Dick had only been able to see a rotting corpse under the mask, it would probably be gone now, but it was nice to see Bruce’s face so much. It was nice that he was making sure. “May I come in?”
Dick was by the window, far enough away from the glass that it wouldn’t make his brain itch. Bruce made his brain itch enough as it was.

Pieces of the People We Love Ch. 2 - Undisclosed Desires (Hoffman Ending)
After your encounter with Hoffman at the warehouse and your discussion with Lawrence at the cafe, things come to a breaking point with the detective. Smut and canon typical awkwardness ahead! Link in the header below.
Chapter Two: Undisclosed Desires
(NSFW 18+)
Three years later, here it is. After seeing Saw X, I knew I had to come back and finish this fic. I love Hoffman so much, and I tried to be as faithful to his character as I could. He's just so unintentionally funny that I couldn't help but make this ending a bit more lighthearted than I anticipated. Hoff in the Hoff House was too funny not to pull off.
Amanda is almost finished, and her ending will be posted in the near future. Thank you for all the love on this fic, and I hope you enjoyed it!
(I mostly listened to Depeche Mode writing this fic, and will link the complete playlist as soon as I'm happy with it. Definitely listen to the original mix of In Your Room though. HUGE Hoff energy)

Person A is a reaper who works on a children’s ward in a hospital in their civilian life, and tells the children who they know won’t make it stories about death being kind and gentle and who will make sure they don’t feel pain anymore. They also use their knowledge to set expectations and prepare parents/families to lose their child and help the child accept what’s going to happen, and comforts parents/families whose child isn’t on the list to die in childhood and give hope to children who will survive. Person B is a teen who is obsessed with their own death and is excited at the prospect, which confuses Person A since they know Person B isn’t set to die in childhood. But when Person A tells Person B this, they’re surprised when Person B gets upset and later takes their own life - something reapers can’t predict and turns the deceased into a reaper. Now Person A is the mentor to the newly made reaper Person B.
