We can say that this animated series has become a kind of cult of today's youth, so it is worth getting to know its characters and their descriptions a little closer in order to understand which characters attract today's teenagers and why.
Main characters
The main characters of the Gravity Falls series are Dipper Pines, his sister Mabel, their great-uncle Stanley, a young girl Wendy Corduroy and the teenagers' friend Zus Ramirez. In addition to the main characters, there are a lot of secondary characters in the series, whose names deserve special attention and description.
The main character of the cartoon "Gravity Falls" is Dipper Pines - a teenager with a curious character, smart, kind, who loves his sister Mabel. Together they spend summer holidays in a small province in Oregon with his great-uncle, who founded the Mystery Shack. Dipper tries to explore all her secrets with the help of a secret diary.
The hero's name - Dipper - is actually his nickname, which arose due to birthmark on the boy's forehead, which in English is called "Big Dipper". The hero's real name is Mason, but it is almost never mentioned anywhere in the series.
Dipper Pines has a real life inspiration. This is the author of the animated series Alex Hirsch. In the drawn interpretation, Dipper always looks identical, he is dressed in a blue vest, an orange T-shirt, gray shorts, white sneakers and the same socks. Dipper always wears a cap with a spruce tree as his headdress. The teenager's hair color is brown.
Mabel Pines is the twin sister of Dipper Pines. The girl is energetic, positive, amorous and naive. Mabel constantly hangs around with her brother and helps him explore all the secrets of the small outback where they came for the summer to visit their grandfather.

Stanley's character is very secretive, he is a man with a secret, he wears a fez, never undresses in the shower so that no one can see his back.

Wendy first appears in the first episode of the entire series, from which it becomes clear that the heroine is an employee of the Mystery Shack, the twins' grandfather. Wendy works at the store part-time and often takes liberties (for example, in the first episode she openly shows that she is not going to strain herself and work). However, she performs the bulk of her duties responsibly, although slightly relaxed. In the first episodes, a love line begins to develop, or rather the triangle Wendy - Dipper - Robbie. The latter is Wendy's boyfriend at the start of the series.
Dipper falls in love with Wendy almost as soon as he sees her for the first time. He strives with all his might to get into her company. The girl invites the boy to relax with her friends, who at first consider him too small, but later begin to respect him. Throughout the first season, the twin brother tries to win Wendy's heart:
- "Double Dipper." In this episode, Wendy is shown attention by several Dipper clones, but later the boy decides to just talk to the girl.
- "The Time Traveler's Pig." Dipper tries to win a toy for Wendy at the fair (he fails even with a time machine). Then Robbie begins dating Wendy again.

During Weirdmageddon Corduroy was one of the few survivors. She skillfully used her survival skills, ate bats, set traps.
The girl accompanied Dipper, helping him save his sister, and then helped build a robot from the Mystery Shack. Together with her friends, Wendy took part in the final assault, but was turned into a decoration in the demon's castle.
After defeating Cipher, Wendy attended the twins' birthday party, where she wished them:

Who created Gravity Falls? We owe the appearance of Gravity Falls to the talented graduate of the California Institute of the Arts, Alex Hirsch. Alex is lucky - he has been doing what he loves all his life. He studies passionately, enthusiastically translating the fruits of his imagination into bright animated pictures. The inspired animator with sparkling eyes, extraordinary thinking and enthusiasm was noticed by the director of Disney. This is how Alex Hirsch ended up in the “mouse house”, where he was given complete freedom of action: just create. And Alex created Gravity Falls.
Alex Hirsch was not even 30 years old when he created his masterpiece
Of course, there was a concept first. Like any artist, the creator of Gravity Falls was inspired by his experience. Childhood became an inexhaustible well of inspiration for him. During the holidays, he and his twin sister Ariel often spent time in the village with their uncle. It’s hard to imagine for the smartphone generation, but the main entertainment in the absence of a TV (tablets are out of the question) for Alex and Ariel was their own imagination. In search of miracles, the children explored the immediate surroundings and lured leprechauns with traps. Watching The X-Files and Twin Peaks contributed a lot children's interest to mysticism.
It's no surprise that the main character of Gravity Falls, Dipper, is a copy of Alex as a child. With one exception, Dipper is truly a full-fledged participant in real-life miracles. Mabel, of course, is similar to Ariel, at the age of 12 she also loved colorful sweaters and fell in love every week.

According to the hero, Gravity Falls is full of secrets. Some of his guesses turn out to be true, and then Dipper begins to investigate. Often such investigations lead to unexpected results. In his quests, Dipper often turns out to be more far-sighted than other heroes of Gravity Falls.

Secrets and Easter eggs
Easter eggs from Gravity Falls bring even the adult audience of the animated series into a state of childish curiosity. Indeed, there are a lot of allegories, ciphers, riddles, references and symbolism in the series. So, let's look at the most important secrets of Gravity Falls.
Cryptograms
If you look closely, you can easily spot the Gravity Falls codes. Cryptograms appear in the title sequence, throughout the episode, and in the credits. They are quite decipherable thanks to simple manipulations with the alphabet. By deciphering the messages, you can learn many of the secrets of Gravity Falls. The decryption mechanism will prompt the voice at the end of the screensaver. Some cryptograms end up being just "If you're reading this, you should go out and try to make friends" jokes. However, the encrypted inscriptions also contain valuable information, for example, it says that one of the heroes is lying and is not at all what he seems.
Standard cryptogram
Screensaver
At the end of the opening sequence, viewers hear a mysterious whisper reminiscent of the phrase "I'm still here." When playing a phrase in reverse direction you will hear the phrase “Three letters back” - a hint at deciphering cryptograms using the Caesar cipher. The phrase changes several times during the series: “Swap A for Z” is a hint for using the Atbash cipher, “26 letters” is a hint for decoding using a substitution cipher, in the second season a whisper suggests using the Vigenère cipher, and in one episode it says: “Stan not what he seems." For those who like to rack their brains, we recommend turning to the series in its original voice acting.
Everyone saw Bill Cipher's circle in Gravity Falls. The picture of a circle with Bill Cipher inside contains many strange symbols. All circle symbols correspond to one of the characters: star-comet - Mabel, question mark- Zusu, spruce - for Dipper, broken heart– Robbie, we saw the crescent moon on Stan’s fez, etc. If you look closely, outside the circle you will find binary code, alchemical symbols, a geometric transformation matrix and the code for the Dandy game.

Presence of Alex Hirsch
In Gravity Falls, secrets and Easter eggs are also connected with the creator of the cartoon. Alex Hirsch can be found in the cartoon: the lower part of his face appears in the title card of the animated series, he juggles next to crocodiles in the television title sequence of the episode "Bottomless Pit", he sits on a tram in the episode "Roadside Attraction", he is one of the participants in Bill's "throne of frozen agony" Cipher and is featured on the magazine cover in the "A Tale of Two Stans" series. In addition, the presence of Alex Hirsch can be felt by meeting the letter H in the interiors of the Mystery Shack - the first letter of the surname of the cartoon creator (from English Hirsch). Also in some episodes the number 618 appears - the date of birth of the Hirsch twins (June 18).
The number 618 is everywhere

There are a lot of them, take Lolph and Dundgren from the time travel episode, they are a parody of the actor Dolph Lundgren and the film "Universal Soldier". The group BABBA, whose song Dipper liked, hints at the famous ABBA group. When you decipher the diary page that appears in one mini-episode using the A1Z26 cipher, you will find words from the Sailor Moon intro. The restaurant where Gideon waits for Mabel is a copy of the Black Lodge from Twin Peaks. The series "Spirited" refers to the anime "Spirited Away". In the second episode of the second season, the monster from the heads of Dipper and Mabel looks like a creature from the movie “The Thing”. One day Stan takes a ball from a certain traveler, where we see the “Eye of Sauron”. In the witch's caves in the second season, hands create a throne similar to the throne from Game of Thrones.

Songs and music
The music of Gravity Falls perfectly matches the atmosphere of the animated series - all fans will love the cheerful, playful melody of Gravity Falls OST from the intro. Also in the series you can hear songs and funny melodies playing during the height of the heroes' adventures. When creating the project, several composers proposed their own versions of the Gravity Falls screensaver, but in the end Brad Brick's version was chosen. It was he who composed almost all the songs in Gravity Falls, creating an excellent musical score for the series.
Brad Brick is a composer and songwriter, known for many projects from Disney, Nickelodeon, MTV and BBC. He owns the famous Gravity Falls song “Disco Girl,” which is performed by the group BABBA in the cartoon - a parody of the ABBA group with their pop hit “Dancing Queen.” He also wrote Mabel’s song from Gravity Falls called “Don’t Lose Faith”, “I Am Gideon”, “It Will Be Like This Forever”, “Wendy”, “Singing Salmon”, “Wendy’s Song”, many other songs and voice-over music "Gravity Falls". Bill Cipher's song is worth special attention, as this villain is the favorite villain of many fans of the series.
Those who like to solve riddles can be advised to find the original Gravity Falls soundtrack; the music from the intro will make you rack your brains. Listen to the whisper at the end of the song "Gravity Falls", vaguely reminiscent of the words "I'm still here" (in English). Play the phrase backwards and you will hear the phrase “Three letters back.” Thus, the song from the Gravity Falls intro alludes to Caesar's cipher for deciphering cryptograms.

Despite the general approval of the animated series, there are some criticisms of Gravity Falls. They mainly concern:
- lack of real positive characters among the heroes, “examples” for children’s audiences,
- discrediting the adult world,
- occult symbols and themes, “satanic” overtones, ridicule of confessions,
- episodes inappropriate for a children's audience (Tobby's kiss with a cardboard woman, a man's wedding with a blackbird, hints at same-sex love among police officers),
- violence (cruel treatment of heroes with monsters, and of monsters with heroes),
- harm to children due to lack of morality and false morality put forward.
Mabel's Hallucination Episode
Connoisseurs of the cartoon provide counterarguments: members of the Pines family love each other and, no matter what, demonstrate mutual assistance. They sincerely care about loved ones and stand on the side of good. As for moral problems, then, as expected, the vices here are presented in a negative light - they are either ridiculed or upset the heroes. As for occult symbolism, Alex Hirsch only laughs it off, hinting that it should not be taken seriously. Therefore, it is difficult to talk about any harm that “Gravity Falls” could potentially cause to a child; the children’s own reviews of the cartoon are the most positive. Despite the abundance of opinions, the animated series "Gravity Falls" is a high-quality project, an excellent metaphor for growing up, slow summer days in the village with my grandfather. Most likely, it will remain so for nostalgic viewers.
