Rewatching Gravity Falls Rn And This Is One Of My Favorite Jokes In The Entire Show

Chat I fear I am cooking too hard with this animatic

I never noticed that the primas-hermanas wear differently-colored clothes from the rest of their family. 

As you can see, the warm-colored family all wear orange/yellow while Dolores wears red, meanwhile the cool-colored family wears blue/green while Isabela wears pink/purple. 

But why is that exactly? Well, here’s my guess. 

Since the primas-hermanas are the oldest of their siblings in their respective sides of the family, they’re expected to get married first as per tradition. Considering that each family unit has their own color scheme, Isabela and Dolores wearing different colors from the rest of their families may symbolize them starting their own family units when they get married and have kids, with Isabela being the pink/rose(pun-intended)-colored family and Dolores being the red-colored family. 

But hold on, there’s a twist! Isabela doesn’t want to get married. She doesn’t want to be with Mariano and have five kids, she still wants to enjoy her life before ultimately getting hitched to a man she doesn’t even love. As the firstborn of the youngest generation of Madrigals, Isabela is expected to set a good example for the rest of them by getting married, but this is not what she really wants. Meanwhile, Dolores is in love with Mariano and wants to be the one to marry him, but feels in the shadows because he is engaged to Isabela instead. Therefore, it is no coincidence that Isabela both sheds her perfect demeanor and breaks things off with Mariano while changing her wardrobe to be primarily blue and dark purple, assimilating back into the cool-family color scheme, while Dolores finally gets Mariano to notice her and maintains her red color scheme. 

It’s because Isabela still needs some time to learn about herself and grow and isn’t prepared for that big leap that is marriage yet(which I don’t blame her for, at 21 you’re brain still isn’t fully developed, even Dolores wasn’t ready and she got her man!), while Dolores will one day create her own family unit that most likely wears the color red. 

Thank you for coming to this TedTalk lol.
