(the following is what I think happened in Gravity Falls involving Stan-again, WHAT I THINK)

Okay. My theories are starting to get mixed up in my head, so I'm just gonna take it from the stinkin' top, once I think of where it would be....Ah! The books, the author. I read on one comment that the symbol-the six-fingered hand-on the covers of the books is a freemason symbol. I'm not sure what a freemason is, but it probably doesn't matter much. It just points us right to the author-a man with a freemason fez. Stan Pines. Where he was born and what things were like for him before he started researching the mysteries of Gravity Falls, Oregon are unknown, and likely unneeded. While doing his research, Stan started getting older and decided younger people needed to research the mysteries. So he tried Pacifica Northwest and Gideon Gleeful, but they somehow didn't fit it.(hense how much they don't like the Pines family-Gideon hates Stan and Dipper, Pacifica hates Mabel, assumably the only Pines she's met.  I mean, how did Pacifica know Mabel had a twin?)Stan wrote two books with freemason symbols on the covers and gave them to Pacifica and Gideon to use, taking notes in the blank pages near the back. But Pacifica probably just decided it was lame or something and gave her book, book one, back. Stan then locked it up in his secret vending machine room, locking it with a code of random numbers. Gideon might've seen him or something, gotten angered, and quit training without giving his book, book two, back, saying that he would get book one, and any other books Stan wrote. But Stan had to continue in his research and wrote a third book. He hid it in the secret tree compartment,(hense the "I must hide this before he finds it") then thought about how Gideon knew where the first book was. But Stan would take care of that later. Now he needed someone else to train. So he suggested to Dipper's and Mabel's parents that the twins could use the "fresh air" that was in Oregon over the phone. Dipper and Mabel were soon there, and Stan put them to work to distract them so they wouldn't find out about the secrets until he was ready for them to. He was so held up with that that he forgot about book. He finally found a way for Dipper to get ahold of the third book, but Stan didn't want Dipper to know about this. He might tell the twins' parents. So Stan sent Dipper to hang some signs on the trees, knowing Dipper would find the book. When Dipper returned, Stan walked into the doorway of the room Dipper was in and asked what he was reading. Dipper was reading book one, but he quickly hid it and claimed to be reading an issue of "Gold Chains for Old Men Magazine". This must've been a test from Stan. At the end of the day, the Pines twins came in beat-up-looking. Stan might've thought about Gideon and felt bad enough to give them some free items from the stock. Then Stan decided it was time to hide that book and waited until he saw the light go out in the twins' room. Then he looked around and slipped into the vending machine room. He got book one and hurried into the woods, stashing it in a tree compartment. (hense the sasqautch from the opening theme.)...What do you think? Did I miss any-oh yeah!When he decided to train some kids, he put the tattoo on his back of the map at the top of the Mystery Shack. And Gideon thinks that book one is still in the vending machine room, or that Dipper has it.
