Gravity Falls Conspiracies

The place for theories, headcanons, and other wild mass guessing involving Gravity Falls. Nothing is too wild to be submitted! This is *not* a confession blog.

I miss gravity falls. Do you think it will come back?

Most likely not. I wouldn’t be surprised if there was some one-off follow up short or comic or something

It's over I'm free

Hi, I’m sorry this isn’t quite Gravity Falls related, but I really need some help. I’m bed bound with post-brachial plexus injury neuropathy, and I desperately need help with my healthcare costs.  My friend is doing art and cosplay prop commissions as rewards for donations. I’d be so grateful if you could my reblog fundraiser post   when most people are online  -sophaldred.tumblr.com/post/128465568793 [pls reblog rather than publish] The photo is the medical evidence. Thank you so much!

Dippers name

Ok, so in Gravity falls we don’t know Dippers real first name.

What we do know is that a couple of generations above them were another set of pines twin’s names Stanley and Stanford.  At least someone in the pines family gets a kick out of twins with ridiculously similar names. My girlfriend pointed out that possibly Dipper was the same, and maybe the reason they gave only one twin a nickname is because the names were similar, causing confusion. Picking a word out she thought of “Gable” After confirming that Gabel was in fact a real name, we looked up the meaning and…

Triangular…

Just a thought.

[undertakers-convention]

In the AMA Bill mentioned that if he had Dipper`s name he would go by a nickname too, implying it was a dumb name; Gabel seems to fit that description okay.

[desdemonia]

Not to hijack this post, but consider this: Stanford and Stanley don’t actually rhyme, they just begin the same way. So maybe Dipper’s real name just starts the same way as Mabel’s. How about… 

Mason?

this is supposed to be a kids show

Why didn’t Stanford run for mayor?

According to Sheriff Blubs: The first prerequisite for candidacy is being able to cast a shadow.

No shadow.

Fits like a glove!

[gravity-falls-conspiracies]

This is more of a headcannon than an actual theory per-se, but I think Bill may be the one writing the ciphers at the end of each episode. He seems like enough of a trickster to do so, honestly.

[gravity-falls-conspiracies]

It is confirmed that the baby from that scene is the grandfather. Stan refers to Mabel and Dipper as "Shermy's grandkids" and they don't contradict that statement. An interesting thing to note however is that he would be ~40 years old in present day if you did the math. However the information is probably an inconsistency rather than a conspiracy.

[gravity-falls-conspiracies]

So far everyone's saying that Stan is the grandfather of the twins, but i really doubt he had any children since he was mostly on the run.

I think it is more likely the real grandfather is the baby that appears in the scene where Stan is kicked out and I'm really curious why he isn't mentioned at all, didn't have any kind of relationship with his brothers, etc.

I'm not sure if this is considered a long submission, but you can post this nonanonymous.

The Gideon theory

I got a bit of this theory from Channelfrederator. After Mugucket left ford's testing, ford begain to look for more people to help him. Eventually he got two people an a adult version of Gideon and another person. Gideon has two children and his"parents" are actual his kids.Gideon was a very abusive and strict father and that's why his kids are afraid of him.when they ford and his helpers where working on the portal Gideon, went into the portal and on accident he got turned into a baby and it stayed that way for a while until he started to age he began to hate the pines family a lot. That's why he wants the books he wants to go back into the portal and find the thing that turned him into a child to turn him back into a adult. Sorry if my grammar or spelling is bad.

So here’s my attempt at grasping the timeline post-AtoTS (Warning: This is gonna be LONG :\)

[fuckyeahgravityfalls]

starfleetrambo:

The author studied the anomalies of Gravity Falls six years prior to the writing of Journal #3 which was on the 18th June (Summer)

he was already on the works of journal 3 when he started building the portal with Fiddleford.

He saw whatever it was in the portal mkay? He went nuts and like it was an amazing plotpoint. Something strange is clearly the many underground places most importantly the underground basement of the mystery shack, probably leading to the portal, though that is conjecture. The govv't can be forgetful, dipper used the memory thing and gave it to Stanford. Stanford made them forget. MORE TO COME

[disneyjail]

SERIOUS AMAZINGNESS OMG READ ASAP THE GRAVITY FALLS BOOK I FORGET THE NAME IT HAD CIPHERS THE CIPHERS, HALF OF THEM PREDICTED STORY AND I THINK I UNPLUGGED THE BIG PLOT POINT OF SEASON 2.5 OKAY BEAR WITH ME HERE: The ciphers "MCGUCKET HAS SEEN TERRIBLE THINGS" "SOMETHING STRANGE IS BURIED UNDER GRAVITY FALLS" and "THE GOVERNMENT CAN BE FORGETFUL" are all things that happened. The terrible things McGucket saw SPOILERS FOR TODAYS EPISODE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! were that time when he entered 2BCONT

this reminded me that i run a gravity falls sideblog with over 14,000 followers

Didn’t realize I left the submission box closed for over a year lmao

Stan taking the “death” of Wax Stan way too seriously is one of my favorite jokes in the show. In all likelihood, it is just a joke about how egotistical Stanford Pines is.

But, if you want to hate yourself, here’s another way to look at this. Stan has someone (well, something) that looks exactly like him. He watches tv with Wax Stan. He cracks jokes at Wax Stan. He’s got pictures of himself with Wax Stan. Until Wax Stan is murdered, that is. What does Stan do? He buys a coffin. He hosts a memorial service. Perhaps, because this time around, Stan has a body to bury.

Goofy, egotistical old man? Yeah, probably. It’s a silly show after all.

Grieving twin staring into the face of the man who was taken from him thirty years ago? Well, why not?

[phantomrose96]

Ah, remember when all these Stanley ideas were just grasping fanon?

[phantomrose96]

OH

“Stan having a secret brother was the plan from the very beginning…and I think your mind might be a little blown by just how many clues and hints we planted pointing to this conclusion…Ever wondered why Stan was so distraught at his wax doppelgänger’s “death” in “Headhunters”?”  —ALEX HIRSCH

Someone toss me a basketball because I need to celebrate this SLAM DUNK.

[gravity-falls-conspiracies]

Gravity Falls fandom, 2013: Guys, I know this may seem a little far-fetched, but...I think Stan might have a secret twin. I know, it sounds dumb, but look. I have a few screencaps of license plates and memories that I think point towards some guy named Stanley...OMG, and what if he's the Author too?
