User blog:The Puppeteer King/Cipher Wheel Purpose

Hello everyone, Psychoking here

Today I'm going to try to understand the Cipher Wheel. This is a subject that I don't think is mentioned much on the wikia rather than connect the symbols to objects and characters. Theres a few rules to this that I have to follow

1) I am not going to connect the symbols to characters (theres enough debates and forums)

2) I am not going to analyse the symbols just the wheel itself

3) Dipper, Mabel and Soos are the only confirmed symbol connection so they are the only ones I can use. Not Pacifica or Wendy as they are fan speculations and not confirmed yet however I can use Robbie and Gideon since its rather obvious

4) Little Gift Shop of Horrors will not be used  because it's classed as non-canon

To start this off I am start with the wheels first appearance. The wheel has been shown at the very first episode of the series (Tourist Trapped) and it is shown during a split second shot of the wheel which has to be paused to be fully seen and it depicts Bill Cipher  being surrounded by ten symbols. In Dreamscaperers and Sock Opera, Bill has demonstrated knowledge of the wheel by calling Mabel, Soos and Dipper by their symbol (Shooting Star, Question Mark and Pine Tree). If Bill knew about the Cipher Wheel why didn't he kill them on the spot or seriously injure them.

A majority of Fans has believed that the Symbol representatives are meant to battle Bill in the future but phrophecys are never that direct its just something thats naturally associated with it (like Harry Potter and Voldemort) but when other forms of media have flipped the script (Doctor Who made a phrophecy of his death or destruction of the universe).

It would be too predictable if I said that each of the characters made a deal with Bill since Dipper and Gideon made deals with him but Robbie managed to brainwash Wendy for her to stay with him until Dipper and Stan managed to uncover his plan without Bill even being released, Stan didn't even know who Bill was so that theory just crashed and burned.

The wheel could prophesise the defeat of the symbols and the victory of Bill. oh you lovable cynic thats not possible because Bill can have omnipotence in the mind yet Dipper, Mabel  and Soos have managed to defeat him in Dreamscaperers twice even by Mabel in Sock Opera while Bill possessed Dipper but it is possible as a symbol can be defeated or even killed by Bill ( given his character death tweet) plus Alex Hirsch has been involved with animated shows that have dark or even scary moments such as The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack so its not impossible just.

I am not sure Gideon will return in the future but his symbol is on the wheel which causes me to believe that he is the one who started the prophecy by releasing Bill from the nightmare realm.

I hate to end it there but if I did it would of lead to the warrior prophecy so the warrior prophecy is the only one that can be conclusive. What do you think the wheels purpose is? comment below on your ideas or suggestions.
