[video] and we will be wicked and we will be fair
[It's May-May and the Hog, comin' at you live in the AM!!
Except it's really just Mabel broadcasting from her perch on top of the receptionist's desk in Angel Investigations with Boris the boar sitting on her lap. She looks... troubled, to say the least. And a bit nervous.]
Hey, guys. Mabel here. [She waves, uncertainly.] That was some event last week, huh? [Her laughter is strained and peters out awkwardly.] I guess since Dipper told you about the zombies and stuff, you figured out that it was our event. Both sides of it- the zombies are all on Dipper, since I told him not to raise the dead, and he did it anyway.
[It doesn't sound nearly as accusatory as one would expect- it's just a fact.]
The rest of it was... [she huffs, blowing an errant lock of hair out of her face.] Look, some of you guys weren't here when I first showed up in Wonderland, and some people even still don't know that I used to be a liiiittle bit... okay with what Wonderland did, if only because it kept me from real life, which is terrible, by the way. I knew that summer was ending in Gravity Falls, and I wanted someplace where it could feel like summer forever.
And then I went back home, and somebody tricked me- not naming names, but he knows who he is- [she looks around shiftily, and then adds, in a scathing tone] Bill. [ahem. moving on.] They told me I could have a little more summer if I traded them something that pretty much doomed the world. I didn't know that, at the time, but let that be a lesson to you- don't give people things that look evil or important, no matter what they're offering you.
Anyway, so Gravity Falls got plunged into crazytown because I wanted reality to go away. And I got trapped in this bubble, and... What you guys saw was my bubble. A world that was just for me that I could hide in, where anything I wanted I could have, but there was so much going on underneath it that you stopped to think about it, it was actually kinda awful.
Sorta like Wonderland, right? That's... definitely what I thought when I came back here after that.
[she sighs, realizing she's just babbling on.] I know, I know. "C'mon, Mabel, just get to the point." And... This is the point. I know Wonderland is really bad- like really, really bad- but there's a lot here that makes it worth staying in. Free stuff from the closets, awesome new friends you wouldn't have met otherwise, new experiences, new pets. [She holds up Boris.] And it's fine to think that- there's nothing wrong with enjoying Wonderland. Hating everything about it is kinda dumb, if you ask me. We all have things we like.
But, at the same time, no matter how bad your life is back home, you can't just decide a fantasy is better in comparison. I learned that the hard way- I mean, you guys saw how tempting Mabelland was. It's important to remember that Wonderland isn't forever. So appreciate what we have here, but don't forget about what's beyond that. Reality's just as scary as Wonderland is, and it doesn't have magic closets, but it's where we're supposed to be.
And I don't know about you guys, but I'm gonna keep making the most of my time here until I have to go back home. [she smiles, and this time she sounds more sure of herself.]
