Hello. I'm back with some more secrets about Gravity Falls. This time it's character mystery's. Enjoy!
Secrets about/related to GRUNKLE STAN/ WADDLES/MABEL/PACIFICA
[Warning - Really long theories and there are spoilers as well to other previous episodes]
1. Secrets about GRUNKLE STAN
Bill Cipher does seem to be controlling Stan throughout the series. It is also true that almost every episode in the night time Stan goes outside. This is even addressed in episode 16, Carpet Diem, at the end when Dipper hits Stan with an eyeball when playing golf with Mabel. Stan had previously told Dipper that he would get rid of the carpet. But then, Stan says something perculiar, “Ah! Why am I even out here at night?”
Why would Stan question himself being outside if he was already in the process of getting rid of the body switch carpet, having told Dipper this literally a minute ago.
This fact can be further verified by the whole “Remember, reality is an illusion. The universe is a hologram. Buy gold buyyy!!!” said by Bill Cipher in episode 19, Dreamscapers. The statement about buying gold is also said by Stan to Robbie in episode 17, Boyz Crazy, when consoling him after Wendy dumps Robbie. “Look if it makes you feel any better the apocalypse is coming soon bury your gold. You’ve been buying gold right?”
Ok sure buying gold is great but why does Bill say it. He actually wanted money from Gideon in episode 19, Dreamscapers, after almost finding the code for the safe that has the deed for the Mystery Shack. Here’s where my theory may be kinda mistaken; however I’ll pose the theory anyway and let you all fill the gaps hopefully :D
First, in episode 6, Dipper vs Manliness, when Mabel asks for pancakes instead of salad that Stan was going to buy her. Stan replies with, “With the fancy flour they use these days? What am I made of money? Tap. Tap.”
Ok.. I believe the way Bill Cipher’s ability to control a person depends on that person’s desire. The more Bill has of that desire, the more he can control a person. In this case, the more money (Stan’s desire) Bill has, the more he can control Stan. But he must keep this money on him at all times and the control is temporary for now. A bit believable I assume but, over the various episodes this has started to make more and more sense to me.
Now there are several theories I have read and think are true about Stan, but to make it short and talk about something else I will state briefly what they are.
A. Stan may be aware of that time seems to be stuck in gravity falls. Shown by his desire to keep a calender in episode 12, Summerween. (time is stuck is a theory, where the day of change or day that has the most possibililty for change is in episode 9, the Time Traveller’s Pig, where only Mabel can have an affect on time)
B. Behind Stan’s vending machine, seen at the end of episode 1, Tourist Trapped, is an apocalypse bunker. Making sense considering the things that Stan says about the apocalypse coming, said in episode 17, Boyz Crazy.
C. Stan met Soos when Soos was little. Hard to believe but my only direct evidence is that in episode 1, Tourist Trapped, Stan shows the tourists the world’s most distracting object and it seems like the child is Soos and those with Soos are his parents. Could also explain why Soos lives with Grunkle Stan and why Gideon’s mother and Pacifica’s parents seem like they are under a trance/spell. The distracting object may have been stolen/used by Gideon and Pacifica during their time at Gravity Falls.
D. Stan’s secret behind the vending machine is also one to drive people insane. Especially after episode 19, Dreamscapers, with Soos closing the door on us before we get to find out what is actually behind the door. I believe Stan’s hiding an apocalypse bunker, which makes the reason why Stan was talking about the apocalypse in episode 17, Boyz Crazy understandable.
2. SECRETS ABOUT/RELATED TO WADDLES/MABEL/PACIFICA
The time traveller’s pig.. that title for episode 19 seems like one of the secrets that haven’t been talked about in detail. Waddles, in episode 9, is introduced to Mabel but not ever introduced as Blendin Blandin’s pig. We recall that Blendin Blandin is the time traveller that came to gravity falls to fix a time alteration, but we don’t see him having the pig. If this is true. That Blendin Blandin is not the time traveller that the title is referring to… could this mean Mabel is or will be shown as a time traveller.
Mabel has, in episode 9, showed that she is the only one who can change time. With Dipper constantly going back in time using Blendin Blandin’s time traveller device, the only person that was able to alter/affect the fate of Wendy and Robbie getting together was Mabel. Now if Mabel is a time traveller, she sure doesn’t show it at all.However, at the end of the episode when Dipper finds Mabel so upset in losing Waddles, he goes back in time by a day to see if Mabel will get over it. She doesn’t. Then, he goes back by a week. She still doesn’t get over it. Then he tries a month and seeing Mabel still hitting her head against Gravity Falls’s totem pole, he decides to go back in time and fix it so Mabel will get Waddles. HOWEVER.. it is not explicitly shown which version of Mabel goes back with Dipper, whether he leaves Mabel where she is in that month version or he goes back without Mabel to the time where Mabel was going to win Waddles. I BELIEVE MABEL FROM THE MONTH IS THE ONE DIPPER GETS BACK. Sorry for the caps, but very important to know. This would explain the reason why she is the only force of change in gravity falls. This would also explain why the only time of change in gravity falls would be the fair because that’s when Dipper was able to get hold of the time traveller’s device and it would explain why Mabel is taller than Dipper in episode 11, Little Dipper.
Furthermore, it is in episode 9, Time Traveller’s Pig, that Mabel lets the person that runs the pig contest know that she is a witch. Later, a mob forms trying to catch Mabel the witch. So I also think Mabel either in the last episode we are on now or in season 2 that is now confirmed!! I think Mabel will be under attack for being thought of as a witch. When Mabel goes back in time and shows the pioneer family, in episode 9, a calculator, her blinking shoes and the fact that woman will be able to vote; this is proof enough that Mabel will be sought after.
More in relation to Waddles though..
I believe Waddles is Mabel’s actual twin sister or just another Mabel from a different time. This doesn’t necessarily mean that Dipper and Mabel aren’t siblings.. however Pacifica does say “Look Mabel’s found her real twin.” when Mabel wins Waddles and I don’t believe Alex Hirsch would take it on himself to break the bond between Mabel and Dipper as Mabel was primarily based on his actual sister. So this leaves the question, how did Mabel’s twin or Mabel from a different time, manage to get turned into a pig? Well first how are there two Mabels? Well if we go with the understanding that Mabel from a month in the future was brought to Gravity Falls by Dipper. Then, there has to be 2 Mabels. This also is shown on Book 1 with the symbols surrounding Bill Cipher. The Symbol of the llama and the symbol of the shooting star have been both associated with Mabel but this can give a better reason why. Simply, because there is 2 of them.
But Waddles turns into Soos in episode 16, Carpet Diem and he acts exactly like a pig, wouldn’t Soos have acted as Mabel if this Waddles is actually another Mabel? Well, the spell cast on Mabel to be a pig could’ve kept her as a pig regardless of the body switching capabilities. I know its still sketchy but that’s all I can answer for now.
Now, how did Mabel’s twin or Mabel from a different time, manage to get turned into a pig? Pacifica hates Mabel a lot for her different personality and her ability to gain friends.. there is probably more that she hates about Mabel too but let’s leave it there. What do we now about Pacifica now?
She is the descendant of Nathaniel Northwest. Gravity Falls fake founder who replaced Quentin Trembley. He was said to have been a village lunatic that said he could eat an oak tree to prove he is a powerful wizard. This reminds me of the person who is considered to be the current town kook of gravity falls Old Man McGucket!!! In episode 3, Headhunters, it was Old Man McGucket during an interview between Mabel and the crowd of gravity falls members that had asked if the wax statues are alive and if he can survive the wax man uprising. This later on turned out to be true, so who’s to say old man Nathaniel Northwest was lying about being a powerful wizard. If wizardry is also in Pacifica’s bloodline, she could’ve used that power against her parents and made them the way they are now.. close similarity to Gideon’s mom and she could be able to change Mabel into Waddles. I believe Mabel then escaped from Pacifica as Waddles and ran (as a pig) to the mystery fair and got put into the pig contest; where regular Mabel finds her.
