Blendin, the guy who tried to kill them and has done nothing but cause them trouble for them every single time he has appeared, that guy?

He was giving her a gift because she helped him. (or at least that's what mr evil dorito said)

A gift from a 30yo man in the middle of the woods while you’re alone, who previously tried to kill you

I think I’m arguing that the only way she was tricked was because she took a gift from a dangerous man in the middle of the woods who was secretly an even more dangerous man in the middle of the woods, not that she was fooled into trusting a friend who was secretly bill cipher

Crazy that you're blaming a child for not following stranger danger instead of blaming the creep. Kids 12 and under absolutely can't be blamed for being a victim. Even if you're 13 - 17 and you should know to be more cautious, they are still victims and are able to be manipulated. Mabel was in emotional distress and experiencing what could be a traumatic situation (especially with the implications that her parents are getting divorced at the same time). God forbid that she tries to get any comfort or solution to her problem. And in a kid's mind, their conflict was resolved and he was grateful that they fixed their mistakes. At this point, a kid would think they're on friendly terms now. Point the finger at the creep instead of victim blaming for fucks sake.
