Yes, Checkers is gonna get a redesign at some point, here's a sneak peek of it :eyes: Whoo, it's been a while since I've logged into this account, hasn't it? Aaaanyway, I've been starting to get back into Gravity Falls recently, and there's something I was thinking about that I wanted to just talk about for a little bit. Are Stan, Ford, Dipper, and Mabel identical twins or fraternal twins? Well, there are several factors that I considered when trying to figure this out: Biological gender, genetics, appearance, and Ford's polydactyly. I'm going to cover them in that order. First things first, biological gender. Identical twins are *always* the same biological gender. Stan and Ford are, but Dipper and Mabel are not. Yes, transgender Dipper is a popular fandom theory, but as mentioned in one of my previous projects, it's incredibly unlikely. Mabel could also be transgender, but there isn't much evidence to support this either. So, that's one point for fraternal twins so far. Secondly, genetics. I believe it was confirmed in one of the official Gravity Falls books that twins run in the Pines family. Only fraternal twins are genetic. So, that's two points for fraternal. Third of all, appearance. Stan and Ford look quite similar to each other, as do Dipper and Mabel. You might think this would make them more likely to be identical-- However, you'd be wrong! Fraternal twins can look identical too. For example, the Olsen twins, who look very similar, are actually fraternal twins. So, this doesn't actually have any bearing on whether the Pines twins would be identical or fraternal. Last but not least, Ford's polydactyly. I don't know much about polydactyly, but if memory serves me right, it's a genetic mutation, and identical twins have all the same DNA-- Meaning that if Stan and Ford were identical, Stan would have an extra finger too, which he does not. So, are the Pines twins identical or fraternal? All evidence points to them being fraternal twins. So, either the Gravity Falls team knows what they're doing, or it was just luck! But either, way now we know!
