Headcanons

Dibper Headcanons (Part 1?)

Note: Headcanons will mostly take place when they're teens unless I state otherwise. As I've been drawing them as teens lately and I'm having a lot of fun with that.

Neither of them have really dated before, so they have a lot to figure out. It's awkward at times, they have a lot of moments where they have internal gay panic, but they learn from one another and make each other happy.

Dipper at first dated/met up with Dib in secret, not telling Mabel & co that he had a boyfriend. He wasn't worried that they wouldn't accept him or anything like that (Mabel's bi, and come on, can you really imagine any member of the Pines family being homophobic? No way.) But coming out can still be intimidating. Plus, knowing Mabel, she might make a big deal out of Dipper having a date/significant other and accidentally embarrassing him (and overwhelming Dib) as a byproduct. 

Dib kind of has the opposite problem. With his sister and dad pretty much ignoring him 90% of the time, he figures: "Why bother? They don't care anyway,"  so he doesn't tell them, but he also doesn't treat it like it's a big secret. When they do find out, and his dad asks him why he never mentioned having a boyfriend, Dib just kinda shrugs and says something like "it never came up before." (No, Dib is totally not doing this out of slight spite because he feels that his dad doesn't give him enough attention and care. Not at all. /sarcasm)

Dipper is the one who kisses first. He kisses Dib on the cheek.

The two usually go cryptid searching in the woods as dates (imagine Dipper showing Dib all the cool supernatural stuff around Gravity Falls, tell me that he wouldn't do that)

Trans Dib anyone? Maybe?

Words cannot describe Dib's utter joy when Dipper sees Zim and immediately knows he's not human.

Dib is touch starved. I imagine that since Dipper grew up with lots of physical affection, (for example: hugs from Mabel, pats on the back from Soos & Stan, getting his hair ruffled by Wendy, etc,) Dipper is just… naturally affectionate, even if it's not romantic. So when Dipper does something like pat Dib on the back without even thinking about it, you can imagine his surprise when Dib starts getting emotional, even welling up a bit.

Once Dipper knows Dib is touch starved, he does his best to give more physical contact/affection. Holding Dib's hand or arm, resting his head on Dib's shoulder, doing that whole "hands accidentally brush against each other while reaching for something at the same time and letting them linger for a bit" thing, sitting closer to Dib so their shoulders/arms are touching, and the list goes on.

Dib only ever calls Dipper "Mason" in two scenarios: A. It's something serious (have you ever had someone call you by your full name and you go: "oh shit" ?) Or B. It's a particularly personal/tender moment between them (can also be serious, but more in a grounded, comforting way rather than a "you're in trouble" way) imagine Dib whispering to Dipper "I love you.. Mason." When Dipper's having a rough time.

When Dib actually gets to meet the Pines family (the Grunkles & Mabel, and Soos and Wendy if you want to count them), they pretty much welcome him immediately. They might as well have adopted Dib.

Dib is not accustomed to do much attention, but he loves Dipper's family (even if they're a bit much at times, especially Mabel's very lovey dovey, high energy personality. Dib likes Mabel though, she's very kind and often compliments his "goth" clothes, sometimes she makes things for him)

When Dipper meets the Membrane family, things are… awkward. Gaz is intimidating (as usual), and Professor Membrane is kinda hard to read.

Dipper likes Professor Membrane's upbeat greeting and admires his work, but it didn't take him long to realize why Dib's relationship with his dad is a bit rocky.

Side note: At first Gaz treated Dipper the same way she does everyone: mostly ignoring him and occasionally calling him annoying and other various insults, as well as sarcastic comments (like: "you like my brother? Why?" And "Great. Now there's two of them.") She did have a slight change in attitude when she realized they had one thing in common: video games. After playing a few rounds of a game they both liked, she pulled her brother aside and only said: "Keep him."

Ya know how in Invader Zim people give each other meat on Valentine's Day? And how in Gravity Falls they… don't? Well Dib gave Dipper an entire turkey for Valentine's Day. Dipper got him cookies shaped like things such as UFOs, Skulls, Unicorns, etc. (He made them with help from Mabel). So Dib is half like: 'Wait, you DO give each other candy!' And half: 'Shit. I'm the weird one again.' Dipper is shocked by the gift, but he's all for it. Who else should give him a turkey?

The turkey does present one "problem" though, it's a lot of turkey. Even with Dipper, his sis, and his Grunkles, there'd still be leftovers. His solution? Invite Dib to dinner! (Kinda wanna write a drabble on this, cuz I have a pretty funny idea for it)

This is getting kinda long, so I'll stop here. Thanks for letting me ramble all the time lol.
