From what we've seen of her, she seems just as damaged as [[spoiler: Old Man Mc Gucket]]; that might not be a coincidence. She too might have had her [[spoiler: memories erased]]. And her name can be seen [[https://38.media.tumblr.com/f6b0e939c0e660bc0ecf66ce3f5a8cbf/tumblr_ne50t59aEI1td4sn5o1_500.jpg here]].

* The part about him being Stan's grandson is jossed: Alex has confirmed that [[https:https://twitter.com/_AlexHirsch/status/634431471336337409 Stan is actually childless.]] Additionally, the zodiac wheel doesn't necessarily have to do with Stan or the Pines family, since [[spoiler:Gideon, Pacifica, Wendy, McGucket, and Soos]] were involved in it as well.

** It may also have to do with the fact this episode focuses on the {{Pride}} of the Northwests and how Pacifica lets go of this pride and [[TookALevelInKindness becomes a better person]]. That is, if you believe the "Bill Cipher is an embodiment of {{Pride}}" theory.

** Not exactly jossed. Bill shuffling the function of every hole in Preston's face is not the first time Bill repaid [[DealWithTheDevil succumbing to pride]] (since {{Pride}} is the overarching BigBad of Gravity Falls, and Bill is implied to be an embodiment of pride) by being a total jackass. When Dipper agreed to make a deal with Bill, the latter pulled a GrandTheftMe. Pacific's reaction most likely stems from her [[TookALevelInKindness character development]]. If she knew their parents were jackasses, then she could only assume Bill himself is a jackass and sever all ties with him.

to:

* Jossed. Preston has no idea who Bill is [[spoiler: when Bill starts Weirdmegeddon and takes over Gravity Falls.]]



* Jossed. Dipper immediatedly forgives Stan when he finds out he did everything for his brother, and never even is sore with Mabel for not listening to him.




to:

* Jossed. The Author has never shown any interest in the Northwest family.



* Grunkle Stan. Maybe he's collecting the books for the society.

to:

*Implied in the real life tie-in novel Journal 3. The love potion causes the people involved to only be in love for 3 hours - anything longer, and it means they really were in love. Whether or not that means they would've gotten together on their own is unknown, though.

[[WMG: There's probably a reason why his middle name is [[spoiler: Stacey]].]]
In the episode "The Love God", we learn that his middle name is [[spoiler: Stacey]]. My guess is that [[spoiler:Stacey]] was what his parents were planning on naming him if he were born female. It's an uncommon practice, sure, but knowing Robbie's parents..

to:

* Jossed. He's got bigger fish to fry, or at least [[spoiler:a bigger fishbowl to guard]].




to:

* Half-Jossed. Grenda provides major assists in "Dungeons, Dungeons, and More Dungeons" and "The Last Mabelcorn." Candy poses a problem in "Roadside Attraction" but that's about it.




to:

** Nothing in the series suggests Grenda is trans other than her voice (and "female character with male voice actor" is a standard joke, cf. ''WesternAnimation/BobsBurgers'' and ''Film/MuppetTreasureIsland''). If Alex Hirsch intended this, it'd be fairly easy to sneak it in through the show and then make it canon in alternate publication. Of course, that would mean all of the jokes about Grenda's masculine appearance would instantly go from "a little mean" to "viciously transphobic," so it's probably better this way.



Jossed in "The Love God". His parents are, shall we say, the polar opposite of him in terms of personality.

to:

* Being a mortician doesn't make you a sociopath. (It can take away your ability to recognize what topics are inappropriate for dinner conversation, though.)




to:

* [[spoiler: Confirmed/Jossed. Robbie is one of the twelve chosen ones needed to use the Zodiac, and was thus supposed to be vitally important to stopping Bill. Unfortunately, Stan botches the ritual and it's all for nothing.]]










to:

* Bill does seem to have some kind of special hate-on for Preston; previously whenever he did something that unholy (the deer teeth, the screaming head) he reversed it immediately. Some kind of previous relationship with Nathaniel Northwest would certainly explain it.




to:

* Completely Jossed. Preston talks to Bill like the two of them are complete strangers, and Bill doesn't give any indication of knowing Preston other than the unusually cruel torment he inflicts on him.




to:

* Jossed. Pacifica's reaction to Bill isn't notably different from anyone else's. When Preston tries to make a deal with Bill, he acts like he's never seen or heard of Bill before, making it virtually impossible that he's a worshiper.




to:

* The tapestry also works metaphorically -- the protagonists are focused on dealing with the fiery ghost, while the return of Bill Cipher looms over their heads unheeded.







to:

* Given that [[spoiler: Dipper swiped their memory-eraser]], it would be in a very different form. However, it's worth noting that [[spoiler: at the end of the series, the whole town has come to a mutual agreement to pretend it all never happened. Could definitely be the remnants of the Society working through social engineering instead of technology.]]



* Quentin Trembley.

to:

* Quentin Trembley. (Jossed, [[spoiler: the Society is only a few decades old at most]])




to:

* Jossed [[spoiler: for most of the series; the Society of the Blind Eye is going around erasing people's memories of weirdness. But Confirmed as the new status quo after "Take Back the Falls."]]




to:

* Alternatively, we're ''seeing'' the side effects. He's only normal by Gravity Falls standards, after all.




to:

** Jossed. It's [[spoiler: [=McGucket=], who wore them before he lost his mind.]]

On one fateful day, the brain damage caused by extensive use of the memory eraser reached a critical point, and Fiddleford completely lost his memory. He tried to work out what kind of person he was by the available evidence. Someone with Fiddleford's accent, by-then shabby clothing, and long gray beard sounds a lot like a gold miner in a Warner Bros. cartoon. (Note how whenever we see the sane, pre-Society Fiddleford, his speech is an educated Deep South (American) accent, while his speech in the present time is absolutely ludicrous.)
