** Not true. Blendin is visible in the background of the first few episodes, and "The Time Traveler's Pig" shows that he was there cleaning up the temporal anomalies that Dipper and Mabel accidentally caused. Dipper saw Blendin presumably either camouflage or time travel and thought he was a ghost.

** It may not necessarily be the case, given how Wendy and her family were transformed by [[ForTheEvulz Bill]]...

* Blendin's message never being decoded is a ''good'' thing, since it would’ve caused a paradox - if Ford had managed to decode it, he would’ve immediately stopped building the portal, since he would now know that Bill was using him to jumpstart an apocalypse. As a result, Fiddleford wouldn’t have accidentally seen Bill during the portal test, and thus have no reason to found the Society of the Blind Eye out of a desire to forget the incident, thereby keeping his sanity intact. However, this means that Stan would still be homeless and running from the authorities, since Ford no longer has any reason to contact him. And if Dipper was the one to decode Blendin's message, he’d refuse to listen to Ford and ''immediately'' warn Stan and Mabel about the interdimensional rift and what it could do, since he now knows the consequences of not doing so. This would’ve caused Weirdmageddon to never occur since Mabel would know not to give the “snowglobe” to the disguised Bill, and Blendin wouldn't have become a criminal. Thus, there would be no need for the message to even exist.

* When Ford meets Jheselbraum (AKA The Oracle) in Dimension 52), she tells him that if he wants to face Bill again, he needs to protect his mind from his intrusion, and he allows her to install a metal plate in his head for that purpose. But this ''wasn't even necessary''- WordOfGod states that while Bill can feely haunt people’s ''dreams'', he can't enter their ''minds'' unless they shake his hand and ''let'' him in. While Bill ''did'' con Ford into a deal to let him into his mind freely “till the end of time”, Jheselbraum, with her [[{{Seers}} clairvoyant abilities]], knows it won't matter - once Bill unleashes Weirdmageddon and (temporarily) kills Time Baby, time in Gravity Falls will be “dead”, thus breaking the original deal between them. Without the deal giving him 24/7 access to Ford’s body, Bill won't be able to simply pluck the secret to collapsing Gravity Falls’ WeirdnessMagnet directly out of Ford’s mind the ''second'' he learns he knows how to do so - he’ll have to get Ford to give up the secret willingly, which Ford staunchly refuses to do. If Jheselbraum ''knows'' Ford’s never going to be in danger of being possessed by Bill again, why install the plate at all? Simple: ''to protect him from the memory gun.'' She knows that during the events of “The Last Mabelcorn”, Dipper (mistakenly believing Ford is working with Bill) is going to panic and attempt to use the memory gun on him, and that Stan's TheChosenOne who's destined to destroy Bill. The plate solves both problems in one stroke- it ensures that Ford survives Dipper’s misguided attack with his memories intact while denying him the chance to make the HeroicSacrifice needed to destroy Bill for good himself, allowing Stan to fulfill his destiny by [[TwinSwitch taking Ford's place!]]

* Better World!Stan Pines’s fate after leaving Ford and taking Journal 1 are unknown, leaving fans to fear the worst, to the point that he may have killed himself after hiding the book. Worse, the Ford of that dimension ''doesn’t care that he could be dead,'' only hoping that Journal 1 is hidden.

* If you read Ford’s entries after Fiddleford created The Memory Gun, you can see that he’s already creating The Society Of The Blind Eye (he’s shown giving Ivan a card when he meets him at the carnival) and mind-wiping the lumberjacks who built the Bunker. And if you read the blacklight edition, ''he used it on Ford after Ford protested about using it on the lumberjacks.'' It puts his moral compass into question…
