Description
Just……something I noticed about Dib and Dipper. The captions are also actual quotes from them.I mean, everyone knows both of them have interest in the supernatural and almost similiar personalities. But THIS. Just……
I’m starting to suspect that the similiarities between them isn’t just a coincidence anymore. I mean, I'm pretty sure it is, but are we SURE that Alex Hirch isn't actually an IZ fan and is paying tribute to Dib through Dipper?
I posted this on tumblr too: [link]

Don't forget that they both got scolded for raising the dead!

I swear to a Planet of Potatoes Alex is a fan. The similarities in some episodes are SO uncanny!

He might be? Maybe he took some inspiration from Invader Zim in his writing for Gravity Falls. That'll be great.
I like how you put it, "I swear to a planet of potatoes".

Well, both Dib AND Dipper are on the Mystery Kids roster, so...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
They are.

I seriously CANNOT stand DIB as NOT being in the roster. He makes the team complete as a whole with his conspiracy theories & supernatural tactics. In fact, I would actually see him as creating/founding the Mystery Kids do to his reputation of solving mysteries.

Oh man, I remember being rather pissed off at fanart on Tumblr that didn't include Dib as part of the Mystery Kids team but for some reason included Zim or Gaz.
...that was a few years ago and I may have reacted a bit immaturely to it, which I regret now.
Yeah, I can imagine him founding the Mystery Kids, maybe with Dipper and Mabel. He meets them somehow and decides to form a group with them to solve mysteries, where they later meet more and more kids who have experience with the supernatural.

ugh... ZIM but no DIB? How does that work out?
Yeah, pretty much, and then they both have vid chats with Norman & Raz.

I don't know man.
Makes it worse when Gaz is there but Dib isn't. Gaz isn't even interested in the supernatural, but Dib is, she just gets dragged along with him.
That sounds great.

I know. Brings in a lot of continuity problems and- OH NOES! That only means the whole Nightmarishly bad ZIMxGAZ coupling! GAAAAHHHGGG!!!
And that's how whole new adventures start out. Coraline & Wybie would start out later. Right before having a run in with...

Oh good, you hate that pairing too. Nice.
Okay, Mystery Kids vs Freddy Kruger is something I would love to see. That sounds awesome and horrifying.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I hate those types of pairing with an utter PASSION, especially that term "shipping". It's like 'shipping & handling' at the Post Office.
Only if done right... 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
;w; I still use the term "shipping" out of habit. I've been using it for years.
Oh no please don't let Freddy Kruger kill the children. D: Even though it will be fun to see how the kids defeat Freddy.

Only the rambunctious teens get their hold of Freddy.
Also, to keep this in-topic, here's something that is of use: www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIV5x8…

Maybe related with a family member-we never knew Dib's mom so maybe she divorced Membrane a little bit after Gaz and married Dipper and Mabel's dad and had them-making them half siblings and Dib older with Gaz. This is just a theory. I want Dib to move out and get to do paranormal stuff- dragging Zim since he can't trust him and stuff.

Dipper is Dib reincarnated after Zim was cancelled

So, Dipper is Dib from a parallel universe.
I like that idea.

YES. MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY.

OI think at first it was a coincidence but then Alx was just like" let me show you my contribution to the fandom"

Dipper, Dib, are you two related somehow? Like, maybe Dipper and Mabel's mother actually had triplets (two boys and one girl) but sent one of the boys away? O_O Just sayin...

I'd say Dipper is a happier version of Dib.
While they generally have the same personalities, Dipper is a little less... well insane. Why? Well because unlike with Dib, there are a few people that actually do believe Dipper and offer to help him or ask for his help. No one asks for Dib's help because they hate him (for no reason) and don't believe any of his warnings. There's also the fact that Dipper's sister, Mabel is a nice/loving girl. Dib's sister, Gaz is an evil bitch.
But because Dib lives in a much crueler environment than Dipper, Dib has a tendency to snap and freak out when the stupidity around him becomes overwhelming. He also is a tad more sadistic than Dipper. Dipper is willing to beat up Gideon but nothing more. He would never kill him. Dib wants Zim to be ripped apart.
but again... they are both pretty much the same person and are both total badasses. If there ever was a crossover I'd totally watch it.

.......It seems then, that Alex Hirsch must indeed be making several references to Invader Zim through his show.
Thanks for the very interesting information. Is it okay if you could link me to this page?
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
I saw those similarities too! Wouldn't that be awesome if Alex could convince Nick to bring IZ back?! I mean, if both networks have a dark funny show that people like, that gives them a pretty good popularity boost, right? Too bad Disney and Nick are competitors and Nick is too quick to cancel shows...

Yeah. It's kind of sad to think that it won't happen.
Thanks.
