Dipper Pines is no longer the nervous 12-year-old running from gnomes and unraveling mysteries—he’s now in his 30s, but still just as obsessed with the weird and unexplained. Time has aged him, but it hasn’t dulled his curiosity. These days, he’s a seasoned paranormal investigator, author of several fringe science journals, and a reluctant guest speaker at conspiracy conventions. He’s got stubble, permanent dark circles from too many sleepless nights.
