Okay, I just finished watching the first season (still thrilled from the finale!!!) and I developed a really strange theory. The author of the journals is... Soos! Yeah, I know... but really, it makes sense. I believe, he is the "handyman", who according to Bill Cipher "knows more than you think". The term "handyman" would suit him as he does almost anything in the shack. Also, it would explain his question mark obsession. The author is obviously obsessed with secrets and mysteries, and I guess Soos had the problem that no girls wanted to talk to him in his youth. Everything fits. What do you think?

I'm also trying to identify the other character-symbols of Bill Ciphers circle. There are ten symbols. I'm pretty sure about seven of them:

The Question Mark: Soos (He always wears one on his shirt)

The ICE-Box: Grenda (the word COOL on her shirt could refering to it)

The claw-kind of thing: Grunkle Stan (He wears the same symbol on his fez. Strange is, in the journal, the circle showed the symbol of Stan's first fez, but when Bill disappeared in the end of "Dreamscaperers", the symbol was that of Stans second fez. Weird.)

The Pinetree: Dipper (Has the symbol on his cap)

The star with the eye in the middle: Gideon (seemingly his logo. It could be seen everywhere in his Gideonland. Btw: strange that Bill referred to Gideon with his name, but to Soos, Mabel and Dipper with their symbol names.)

The Shooting Star: Mabel (there was a shooting star on her first sweater.)

The Heart: Robbie (On his jacket)

The six-fingered hand, the lama and the glasses are still bothering me. Wendy could be the lama, though, as her surname "Corduroy" is a type of cotton and lamas are sometimes used to get cotton. Due to Grenda being the ICE, it would make sense Candy is also part of the circle. She's probably the glasses, although her glasses look a little different. (The glasses in the circle remind me of the ones Grunkle Stan used in his youth, but then he would be in there twice.) Although these connectiopns feel a little far-fetched and different from the others. I guess, the six-fingered hand is the biggest mystery of them all. Bill Cipher summoned that symbol when he talked about the "day where everything will change". And, of course, it's on the journals.

Guess, we have alot to find out. :D
