A few older Pines family (extended) headcanons cuz why not. @choc-chip-pancakes and @headful-of-feathers, i’m tagging you guys because headcanons.



-In their teenage years, Dipper pulls a Stan, and basically frequently walks around the house in a tank top and boxers because he’s going through a lazy teen phase, and starts complaining about his bad back (because of terrible posture rather than age though). Dipper somehow doesn’t see it, but the whole thing amuses Mabel to no end.

-Mabel, Candy and Grenda all dye their hair at the same time, with Mabel having rainbow hair, Grenda having a bright pink mohawk, and Candy having an electric blue pixie cut (dunno where this hc came from tbh, I just like picturing them with these hairstyles XD)

-Pacifica getting her own place and everyone being shocked when they come over and find her lazing about in a sweatsuit with messy, unwashed hair, because everybody’s used to Pacifica making herself look her best, but she’s just so damn happy to have this freedom, she finally has total control over her home and can do whatever she wants in it, and if she wants to slob out a little in her own place, she damn well will thank you very much.

-Mabel collects all sorts of bits and pieces for no particular reason, like shiny candy wrappers, buttons, loose rhinestones, posters from magazines. She sometimes uses some of these things for art projects, but mostly she just likes to take them out and look at them every so often.

-Dipper starting off from the bottom in the entertainment industry, because media degree or no, that’s one hell of a competitive industry. So he starts off as an assistant to a producer or something, basically fetching coffee and the like, and slowly he works his way up, because every so often he gets an opportunity to show off his skills, and he is damn good at it, so he eventually works his way up into becoming a camera assistant, then an editor, then a directing assistant, and finally he becomes a showrunner for his own TV show all about the paranormal.

-Mabel doing everything, and I mean everything artistic. She paints, draws, makes some music, does a little acting, fashion designing here and there and so much more. Also she gets ridiculously good at electrical engineering (remember the light-up sweater). Nobody knows how she has time for it all and yet still has time to spend with friends and family. The power of Mabel conquers all.

-Dipper trying out tennis in highschool, and to his surprise, he actually gets really into it and gets pretty good at it. He plays against Pacifica in the summers/when they visit, and they become friendly rivals in the sport.

-Mabel having a kid, and the entire time at the hospital Dipper is just really emotional and crying a lot because Mabel’s a mom and he’s an uncle and he’s just so full of love and joy. Meanwhile Mabel is tripping balls on pain meds and is the most hyperactively overjoyed that she’s ever been, basically yelling shiz like “I AM THE FAIRY QUEEN OF NARNIA AND THIS IS MY BEAUTIFUL PRINCESS!” as she holds her baby for the first time.

-Stan and Ford keeping up their adventures well into their very advanced years, because they’re stubborn and won’t let their deteriorated elderly bodies get in the way of adventure, until it’s at the point where Stan’s just like “Sixer, I will explore this ancient crypt of doom in my wheelchair if I have to”.

-Dipper and Mabel of course frequently going on sibling adventures together, and sometimes they’ll just vanish for weeks at a time and everyone’s just like “where the hell did they even go?!”, because literally nobody has the slightest clue.

-Mabel being really averse to swearing well into her teen years, when she suddenly gets really frustrated one day and let’s out the biggest F-bomb ever heard by human ears. People are at first shocked, and then Stan’s just like “Sweetie, I am so proud of you right now”.

-Wendy becoming a sort of drifter, going from place to place at her own chilled out pace, just living life as she sees fit, and she’ll just randomly show up with like new tattoos and scars and the like, and a whole bunch of new awesometacular stories to tell everyone.

-Soos getting really, really good at the Mr. Mystery schtick, and taking the Mystery Shacks to levels of quality and popularity never before seen, and Stan just being the proudest dad-figure in all the world, he’s so proud of what his wonderful manchild son has made of himself. Sometimes he still performs alongside Soos as “Mr. Mystery Senior”.

-Dipper and Mabel getting tattoos of their symbols, but they get their twin’s symbol rather than their own, so Dipper has Mabel’s shooting star on his wrist, and Mabel has Dipper’s pine tree on hers. It’s a permenant physical statement of their eternal sibling bond, and they both display these tats loud and proud to anyone who shows interest.
