User blog:CaveJohnson/New Author theories

Ok so. i've been thinking hard about the Author now, harder than i've ever thought before,  I mean the Author is a mystery again, bfefore Society of the Blind Eye half the fanbase was convinced it was McGucket.

Heck, I was convinced! right up until they had Dipper say his name in that promo, it sounded way too much like McGucket, and I knew they wouldn't reveal it in the promo.

The thing that convinced me was Gideon Rises, that skull thing and Compass and Wooden table, it all looked like that leaked image! so I guess Alex Hirsch or someone else working on it faked it to lure people away from the true author? some people are screaming Stanford or Stanley, and part of me feels like Poolcheck, (for reasons explained in my other blog)

This blog will address why the author CANNOT be Stanford or Stanley, (Y'know unless continuity errors, or they pull some mess to make it work.)

The Author claimed in a page of the journal that he had never been to the Mystery Shack.

Well not exactly... his words were something like this. "If you've traveled down the Gravity Falls highway a lot, you'll notice a certain license plate, what is the Mystery Shack?"

Ok those might not be exact words, but basically the author said he noticed the mystery shack's name sake on people's license plates, and didn't know what it was.

We've seen in Time Traveler's Pig, (If we're to assume the Stanley theory is true) that Stanley lived in the Mystery Shack, at least for a time, BEFORE it was the Mystery Shack.

the Mystery Shack seems to have been founded by Stanford, (maybe with Stanley) so both of them would have recognized that License Plate.

Previously I stated I believe Poolcheck to be the Author, and personally I still feel like he's a fare personality. (Again read my 'Society of the Blind Eye Regarding the Author' blogpost for my reasoning.)

However a theory I concocted, may just mean the Author could be pretty much be ANY male character in the show. (Even female if they forgot if they were man or a woman like Susan claims she did, but I seriously doubt it would go there,)

It has to do with the 'finger count' some people believe this is just random, or due to character size.

But when asked about why Gideon has five, Alex's response was, "Look it's the world's most distracting object!" (I think)

If this were just choice, he would have most likely told this, unless... he wants to throw everyone off.

Some people claim they believe each character with five fingers is 'untrustworthy' and I at first bought into that...

But I don't believe Gravity Falls (a Disney show, for kids.) would make Stan, or Soos, or any of the main cast into a villain. (Minor character's maybe)

So what other reasoning could there be?

Well if you think back to what Gideon said about the author, it might become pretty clear what i'm saying. he said The Author learned secrets too powerful for one man, meaning he 'knew things'

Come to think of it, just about every character in Gravity Falls with 5 fingers, (Though I admit there are exceptions) has been alluded to knowing something.

So here's my theory, it sounds crazy but bear with me, I think when character's discover certain things about Gravity Falls, (For instance the portal.. about the journals.) They literally GROW another finger.

The Author would have known more than anyone else, and that would be why he had six.

So if these memories were erased by something, they might LOSE that additional finger, though this wouldn't be the case if their memory was erased by the Society of the Blind Eye, as the memory is still the back of their mind, thus why McGucket could remember it.

HOWEVER, I believe the Author lost his memory a different way, the shifter implied the Author was insane, but I don't think the Society of the Blind Eye would've erased his memory and here's why.

The Author was completely aware of their existence, he stated in a cryptogram, "If my suspicions are correct, this is the work of Fiddleford does he really have to try so hard to forget?" when referring to the Blindeye symbol.

Also it seems the Society only erases the memory of those who try to expose the findings in Gravity Falls, which would be why the main cast never had theirs erased, because for some odd reason they never think to find proof and give it to the police.. then again they wouldn't believe it anyway, proof or not.

So this could mean ANYONE, who is male with four OR five fingers, has the potential to be the Author, and never have had that sixth finger cut off.

But wait, there's the age thing right? negating time travel the Author has to be over 30 years old.

Except, that the author had a lot of MAGIC in his possession, at least he could...

He probably wanted to go into hiding, and I can't think of a better way to do it than transforming myself into a kid again. (Y'know if I was staying in Gravity Falls)

So you may be thinking of asking right now, "Well do you have a paticular theory?" Well it may be a semi-unlikely one, but yes, I have a theory, and it all came to me after watching the second trailer for 'The Love God."

Robbie Valentino

I know he sounds unlikely, just go with me on this, i'm rather known for my outlandish theories about this show.

I've always felt like Robbie had a secret, Is he a Zombie? is he a Vampire? is he Stan's son or a Pizza monster? (Don't ask)

To me he's the hardest person to figure out, because I don't know for sure whether or not he has a secret.

Other character's like Dipper Mabel and Wendy, they obviously don't, (well Wendy wouldn't have an earth shattering secret anyway.)

And character's like Soos Stan and McGucket. I knew they had secrets, problem was just trying to figure out what.

If you're go with my theories above, imagine the  Author was a kid.

Remember in Blendin's game? when Young Robbie says, "HAH! YOUNG ROBBIE!" Now it could have just been for comedic affect, OR it could have been because he was transformed back into a child at some point, and therefore refers to himself as 'Young Robbie'

Yeah it might be a little weird with the whole Wendy thing, but eehhhhh, it's usually physical age difference that affects television, though irl it would definetily be weird...

next up, Robbie draws a lot, and also writes, in fact his writing style is similar to that of the Author.

^ In fact, the Author did both of these things.

Robbie has been alluded to all of this season, SERIOUSLY! almost every single episode!

WHY?! Are they just trying to make sure we don't forget who he is?!

The Author has also been alluded to be a lot like Dipper, and Dipper and Robbie are a lot more alike than EITHER of them would care to admit.

The Author was also a total jerk, given his experiments on the Shifter, and Blind Ivan. (Though the latter has yet to be confirmed) point being, Robbie's a jerk, then again so is Stan...

Robbie's on the wheel, then again a lot of character's are, and there's a six fingered hand too. (I'm starting to believe that's just the journals themselves)

In Into the bunker and Society of the Blind Eye, Dipper acts as if he 'idolizes the author' and wants to be his best friend..

Which kinda leads me to believe their meeting won't go this way at all, in other words I think they might be enemies.. maybe they already are?

Perhaps the most interesting piece of evidence, there's a skull in Robbie's room, seen in the trailer for the newest episode, remember in Gideon Rises? (and that presumably faked image) the author had a skull!

Robbie's all on his own, or at least it looks that way, if not, where ARE his family?! are we ever gonna see them?

Anyway, I think I had more on it than this, but I forgot some of it.. lol

Is Robbie the Author? Probably not...

Am I reading too far into things? DEFINETILY XD

Never the less, as per the usual, please post your thoughts on what you think.
