>>93507904>I'm sorry, what? This literally makes no sense given the context.Buddy boy there's a big difference in wanting to help somebody out of the good of your heart and wanting to help them for your own benefit of being the person who helps them.
A good example of this is in Transformers Prime where Starscream goes to rescue Megatron from a collapsed mine, he fucking hates Megatron at this point and would rather see him die but does it because he wants to get back in favor nor wants anyone else to get the credit for the rescue.
In this case Mabel wanted Mermando to be forever grateful to her thus fall in love get married have fish babies w/e, he didn't want and that's why she didn't include Dipper into the plan, it would mean Mermando's thanks would be shared between her and Dipper. And I don't think for one second that it wasn't because she didn't think her plan through, we all saw Sock Opera, when she wants a boy she plans it like its a fucking episode of Death Note.
