* WoundedGazelleGambit: During the final confrontation, [[spoiler:the Mother Plan cowers in fear, making Ford wonder if she's really that dangerous. Then, the second he drops his guard, she attacks him]].

* BagOfKidnapping: The gnomes use one to kidnap [[spoiler:Pacifica]]. [[spoiler:Dipper and Mabel]] are able to find the culprits easily, because of the huge traces they leave while dragging it.

The first episode, ''Quest for the Northwest'', has been released in two parts, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPasWS_qEf8 the first one]] in January 2017 and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ib-3MhdUV4U the second one]] in June 2017. It takes place after the events of ''[[Recap/GravityFallsS2E14TheStanchurianCandidate The Stanchurian Candidate]]'' and before the events of ''[[Recap/GravityFallsS2E15TheLastMabelcorn The Last Mabelcorn]]''. The gnomes are revolting against Jeff, because he's a terrible leader, and give him an ultimatum: Either he finds them a new queen by sundown or they will depose him. At the same time, during the parade honoring the election of Mayor Cutebiker, Dipper and Mabel help Pacifica escape her parents' watch and have fun.

* AndThereWasMuchRejoicing: At the end of ''Quest for the Northwest'', [[spoiler:Mudflip is grabbed by an eagle to be eaten offscreen.]] [[BlackComedy The gnomes pause for a moment, then cheer.]]

** At the end of ''Quest for the Northwest'', Pacifica gives to Mabel a unicorn soft toy she won during the afternoon. The same one that Mabel hugs in her sleep at the beginning of ''[[Recap/GravityFallsS2E15TheLastMabelcorn The Last Mabelcorn]]''.

** ''Quest for the Northwest'' makes several references to the events of ''[[Recap/GravityFallsS2E10NorthwestMansionMystery Northwest Mansion Mystery]]''.

* ContinuitySnarl: Dipper is at first rather cold towards Pacifica, even though they left on good terms in ''[[Recap/GravityFallsS2E10NorthwestMansionMystery Northwest Mansion Mystery]]''. WordOfGod acknowledged it and admitted that they didn’t anticipate that it would be this noticeable. But once they realized it, when starting to put the scenes together, it was too late to change it.
* CrazyPrepared: The Northwest’s staff have Missing posters at the ready after Pacifica disappeared for an ''hour.''

* ItsAllAboutMe: Due to the Northwest’s funding the victory parade, they plaster themselves all over the event from a Pacifica lookalike contest to merch. Preston even hijacks Tyler’s victory speech to brag about his family’s achievements.

* RichBitch: While she’s nicer than before, Pacifica still shows shades of this. Her phone has "Keep your poor people hands off of my phone!" engraved on it.

* TheStinger: The second part’s code reads [[spoiler: “The gnomes have found their peace at last, no longer troubled by their past.”]]
* StylisticSuck: The balloons on the Northwest’s float…leave much to be desired.

* TrophyChild: During the parades her parents throw to boost their family's reputation, Pacifica's role consists of waving to the crowd and looking pretty. The Northwests most likely use her to give themselves the image of an ideal family. Priscilla won’t even let her rest while Preston is giving a speech.

* CallForward: Ford uses the crossbow he will give to Mabel in ''[[Recap/GravityFallsS2E15TheLastMabelcorn The Last Mabelcorn]]''.

*** In the beginning, Preston Northwest is shown on TV bragging about his family’s wealth.
*** When Stan and Ford search the town looking for the last plant monsters, the Northwest's butlers are seen placarding 'Missing' posters for Pacifica.

* DeadpanSnarker: Half of Stan’s lines are snark at Ford and the situation.
* DoubleMeaningTitle: "Deep-Rooted Misunderstanding" is a pun. But it also sums up Stan and Ford’s resentment: a misunderstanding that’s been rooted in their high school years.

* NotEvilJustMisunderstood: {{Subverted}}. During their final confrontation, [[spoiler:Ford starts to wonder if, maybe, the creature that spent her time fleeing them is not really dangerous. Then it turns out that she simply pulled out a WoundedGazelleGambit and attacks him the second he drops his guard.]] Stan agrees. [[spoiler:Then he sees that the Mother Plant's minion has eaten a child when the monster spits the kid out.]]

* TheStinger: The episode’s ending Atbash/Vigenère code is [[spoiler: HANG ON TO YOUR SNOWGLOBES KIDS]]

* WoundedGazelleGambit: During the final confrontation, [[spoiler:the Mother Plan cowers in fear, making Ford wonder if she's really that dangerous. Then, the second he drops his guard, she attacks him.]]

* AllJustADream: Mabel thinks the events of "Dipper and Mabel vs The Future" were a nightmare. This and [[spoiler: Bill brainwashing her with a crown]] make it easy for her to stay in her bubble.

** Dipper’s tale ends with him hiding in the ruins of Gravity Falls High School, trying once again to contact Mabel as he starts crying.
** Mabel’s tale ends with her fully brainwashed by Mabeland.
* OriginsEpisode: Mabel’s tale shows how Mabeland came to be in this adaptation.

** Dipper’s is [[spoiler: THE FIRST OF MANY TALES]]
** Mabel’s is [[spoiler: STUCK IN A TRANCE IN A BUBBLE IN THE APOCALYPSE IN YET ANOTHER BUBBLE]]

The next part is called the ''Tales from Weirdmageddon''. It's a series of shorter episodes. Each will tell the unheard tales of the Weirdmageddon survivors. The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOt5a3bBxy4&feature=emb_logo first mini-episode]] was released June 18th 2020 and narrates Dipper's Tale From Weirdmaggedon. The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ardunxrLmik second]] (released July 24th 2020) narrates Mabel's Tale From Weirdmaggedon.

* AbsenteeActor: ''Quest for the Northwest'' takes place somewhere after ''[[Recap/GravityFallsS2E14TheStanchurianCandidate The Stanchurian Candidate]]''. However, among the main characters, only Dipper, Mabel and Soos make an appearance.

* ThounsandYardStare: Manly Dan sits and stares at nothing when Wendy introduces him to Ford.

* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: Pacifica defeating the gnomes is offscreen.

* LonelyRichKid: Pacifica doesn't have friends and her parents favor their responsabilities and the maintenance of the family's good name over her. They often drag her at the parades they throw to boost their reputation, but force her to only wave at the crowd and look pretty in order to give the impression that their family is perfect; something they later use for commercials.

* TrophyChild: During the parades her parents throw to boost their family's reputation, Pacifica's role consists of waving to the crowd and looking pretty. The Northwests most likely use her to give themselves the image of an ideal family.

-->'''Pacifica:''' "And my parents drag me to these big publicity things where all I'm supposed to do is wave and watch everyone else have fun... Dad wants me to take over the family's business someday, but I'm not sure if I want to do that, you know?"

-->'''Dipper:''' "Now is still not the time to talk about the Lamby Dance!"

-->'''Dipper:''' "This might be the most embarassing moment of my life."

-->'''Pacifica:''' "And my parents drag me to these big publicity things where all I'm supposed to do is wave and watch everyone else have fun..."

* RealityEnsues:
** Jeff, disguised as "Norman", talks creepily to [[spoiler:Pacifica]] and after a one-minute conversation ends with: "[[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything Now that we got to know each other... How about we go for a walk into the dark part of the forest?]]" [[spoiler:She answers by throwing tear gas at him with a pepper spray.]]
** The twins and Pacifica train Jeff to be a better leader [[spoiler:for a good twenty minutes]] and most of the training doesn't have anything to do with actual leadership. [[spoiler:The other gnomes are not impressed.]]

The next part is called the ''Tales from Weirdmageddon''. It's a series of shorter episodes. Each will tell the unheard tales of the Weirdmageddon survivors. The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOt5a3bBxy4&feature=emb_logo first mini-episode]] was released June 18th 2020 and narrates Dipper's Tale From Weirdmaggedon.

* ADayInTheLimelight: Each episode is centered around a specific character and how they survived through the three-days timeskip during Weirdmageddon: the first one is about Dipper.

** An [[Disney/TheLittleMermaid Ariel-ersatz]] can be seen in a FreezeFrameBonus on the Shack's TV at the beginning of the scene in which Dipper is channel-surfing.

The next episodes are a two parter called the ''Tales from Weirdmageddon''. They are currently still in very early development.

* ShipTease: A brief moment between Dipper and Pacifica at the end of ''Quest for the Northwest''. He even blushes a little.

** And there are also references to ''Quest for the Northwest''.
