* Considering how much of Dipper’s bullying the show PlaysForLaughs this one has some DEEP UnfortunateImplications if true.

[[WMG: Dipper’s reasons for turning down Ford were insincere.]]
While there are a bunch of legitimate questions you could ask about the feasibility or morality of Dipper taking up Ford’s apprenticeship, the reasons he sprouts off in the bubble barely seem grounded in reality and are very clearly not based on anything he experienced during his “test drive” adventure with Ford, and he talks about needing to leave Gravity Falls to make friends when he has friends in town but none back in California. It seems more likely Dipper still did want to be Ford’s apprentice but is too psychologically beaten down to resist caving in to Mabel and is just giving out some poorly developed sour grapes justifications.

** This, coupled with his actions in weird-mageddon pt. 2, might end with him being hailed as a hero if he explicitly sacrifices himself for his family. Perhaps in the rebuilding of the town, [[TheAtoner Pacifica]] or one of the twins would insist that a statue of Stan (in his Mr. Mystery persona, complete with the 8-ball cane and eye-patch) be erected in place of the Northwest statue that Bill destroyed. There would also be an inscription at the statues base, calling Stan '[[MeaningfulEcho The Greatest Uncle]]', among other things, and [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming good ol' Stan will finally get recognition for his great deeds]]. Also, to back this theory up, the show itself has been hinting at Stan's mortality quite a bit recently...

\n* Jossed. Shermie is confirmed to be a son. The confusion over the impossibility of this timeline is actually lampshaded in ComicBook/GravityFallsLostLegends, which simultaneously further implies that the baby in "A Tale of Two Stans" was indeed Shermie.

[[WMG: Dipper is a transboy.]]
This could explain his obsession with being seen as a male during the Manotaur incident, and why he hates his voice being made fun of. He wore a shirt to the pool as well, when really, he shouldn't needed to. Additionally, while it's hard to tell because of the medium, Dipper and Mabel seem to be identical twins, and identical twins are almost always the same sex. Dipper being AFAB would make a lot of sense.

[[WMG: The twins from the pilot would have swapped ages. (As in, Dipper would be the older sibling and Mabel the younger).]]
The proof? The height difference that can be spotted in some of the scenes the two are standing beside each other (Pilot!Dipper is a good bit more tall than Pilot!Mabel, while its slightly the opposite situation in the finished series).

[[WMG: Following the events of the finale, Dipper swiftly slipped into a state similar to [[WesternAnimation/StarVsTheForcesOfEvil Marco Diaz]] in the episode [[Recap/StarVsTheForcesOfEvilS3E13SophomoreSlump Sophomore Slump]]]]
By all impressions given by the show, Dipper's life back in California was dull and friendless at best, and now he's living it after having been exposed to the potential of exploring the amazing mysteries of the universe alongside good friends and encouraging mentor figure. Life in normal society under those circumstances would quickly become suffocating and disappointing.

[[WMG: Mabel self harms]]
* She almost always wears long sleeved sweaters (despite it being summer) to hide the scars. The times that we see her with her arms exposed are when the scars have started to fade enough to not be noticed. While Mabel may appear constantly cheerful; many people with issues related to depression and self harm actually appear cheerful on the outside; but its mostly a façade.

Just want to throw this one out before the next episode: "Stanley" is presumed dead and has been for thirty years. Thus, the need for fake IDs makes a lot more sense.

Just like how Stanley and Stanford have a third sibling named Shermie (presumably the baby seen in ''A Tale of Two Stans'').
Dipper and Mabel's third sibling wasn't sent to Gravity Falls along with the twins because s/he was too young to leave his/her parents.

[[WMG: Stan was an unwanted/unexpected twin]]
The Pines seemed to have been pretty hardscrabble, paycheck-to-paycheck family back in the day. The Pines family were only expecting one child--Stanford, whose name they'd already chosen--and ended up with surprise twins, which created a financial burden on the family. Grunkle Stan also states that he was a wimp growing up, which might imply he was always the smaller, more sickly twin, and thus a bigger drain on the family's meagre budget. Both these things together could have combine to make him TheUnfavorite, which explains his attention-seeking, his unstable relationships, and his need to "toughen up" as an adult. It would also make Ford's accusations of "you ruined my entire future!" even HarsherInHindsight, as what he would ''really'' be saying is that Stan ruined his life ''by being born'' (due to the financial strain of providing for two children, there was never quite enough money to afford the sort of educational opportunities Ford would need to reach his potential. That Ford later made up for the lost opportunities wouldn't matter, since at the time, he was a teenager, and to teens, everything seems like ''forever''). Please be aware that this is the world's most tenuous speculation based solely on the theory (from FridgeBrilliance) that the Pine Twins, Mark One were so poor they had to share a single nickname.

[[WMG: Stanley wasn't as irresponsible as Stanford claims when he reopened the Portal]]
Because throughout the 30 years he's spent working on and repairing the Portal, all he's had available is Journal #1 - the first journal to get filled up. Stanford didn't learn about Bill's perfidy until later, and all the warnings of potential bad things are in Journals 2 and 3, which Stan didn't have. Now, Stan *did* have them later, but what we're shown on screen is Stan flipping directly to the wiring diagrams and working on the repairs. He didn't obsessively scan every single page of the the other Journals like Dipper did, and never saw any of the warnings. Yes, opening the Portal was an incredibly risky move, but Stanley was completely ignorant of the risks.
