Alright guys. I'm gonna be frank with you. This thing is gonna be really long, since it's every single thing I think about the show. I'll start with the theme song. I don't have a clue about the bigfoot in the woods. In the part where Dipper is showing Stan the "big" footprint and they're in a HUGE footprint, I think this is symbolic. Dipper thinks he knows the main thing about what's going on here-that Gravity Falls is full of mythical creatures and such-but really doesn't know the half of what is-and has been since before he got there-bruing in Gravity Falls. But onto something we all have been trying to figure out. The secret page at the end. Not the one with the pictures, the one with the all-seeing eye in the middle of a circle. Going around the circle are some symbols. We all hopefully know by now that they each stand for someone-or something-important to the mystery. I'll start at the top and go around clockwise. The glasses are Stan's glasses, so they are Stan. The question mark is the Mystery Shack's symbol, so it is the question mark, since the Mystery Shack "holds a secret you couldn't possiby imagine!". The bag of ice could be the ice monster from "The Inconveincing". Not the monster itself, but the ice monster's floatiness stands for the floating eyeballs written about in the third book. The Author wrote-"Floating eyeballs-are they watching me?". I believe that they were watching him, and that someone-possibly Gideon-was spying on the Author. The weird symbol that's like two crescent moons and reminds me slightly of a fish is not Stan, but Stan's fez. As I read in another post on this site, it did not shrink when Gideon shrank Soos. The pine tree stands for Dipper, because it's on his hat. The star stands for Gideon, because it's on his tent. The six-finger hand stands for the books, because it's on the front of all of them. The llama is Wendy, because she has long hair, she's tall, and is like "Nature's greatest warrior". The shooting star rainbow(LOVE it!!)stands for Mabel, because it's on her first and most famous sweater. Finally, the stitched heart stands for Robbie, because it's on his hoodie. Also on that page is, decoded, "Stan is not what he seems". That's it for the page, I think, since everything else was likely used to make it look cool and take up the rest of the space. Moving on to the first episode, when Stan is looking for someone to go hang signs in the spooky part of the woods. He thinks for a second, then picks Dipper. I think he was picking out someone to find the third book. 1 hint that stan is the author. Dipper and Mabel soon defeat a gnome army and their leader, Jeff, says he'll get them back one day. Then they go inside and Stan asks if they got hit by a bus, then laughs. Then he offers them each a free souvenier, like he thinks he's the reason they were all beat up. Of course, I'm not gonna count that as an actual clue, because he could've been thinking something else. Then, of course, is the ultra proof that Stan is hiding something when he goes into a secret room behind the vending machine. Some think this is because he's a werewolf, but then Dipper and Mabel would have to werewolves as well. Some think it's a room where Stan keeps the journals, and that he is the Author. I am one of these. I assume that Stan sent Dipper to get the book, and now that he knew Dipper had gotten it, Stan went into the vending machine room to get another book and hide it in the woods. Okay then I think he is the "yetti" in the woods during the theme. That yetti is no yetti. It is just bad filming of Stan, running to hide one of the books. Therefore, Stan is the author and is giving these books out to whoever he thinks should get them. Gideon likely stole or found the second book by mistake. Because of this theory, it's a sure thing that there are more than three books, and Stan is the Author. Back into the episode some, when Dipper is reading through the pages of the third book, is the famous entry:"I can't believe it's been(amount of time i can't remember)since I began my research in Gravity Falls, Oregon.  My suspicouns have been comfirmed-I'm being watched.  I must hide this book before he finds it.  Remeber, there is no one in Gravity Falls you can trust."Therefore, "he" is whoever is watching him, which is the floating eyeballs. Gideon is after the books, and has the eyeballs watching Stan. Stan left the book so that someone could find it, and sent Dipper to get it. The note at the end of the entry is a sure sign that Stan ment for someone to find the book and read it. I just realized that the ice pack doesn't stand for the ice monster. It is someone cool-popular. Icey cold personality. Pacifica Northwest. Moving on to the "Little Dipper" episode. This episode has the most clues in it since the "Tourist Trapped" episode. And I'm talking about the scene when Gideon is questioning Dipper:"How exactly did you come upon this magic item, hm?  Did someone tell you about it?  Did you read about it somewhere?"Therefore, this is the second clue that Stan is the author. Gideon recognized that Stan could've told Dipper something, and also that Stan would most definitely make sure the book got to Dipper. Another suspicous thing Gideon said was when he had Stan cornered in the ruins of the mirror maze."You have no one to protect ya now!". Now. Protect. Ya. Dipper. I'm not sure about how Dipper is protecting Stan, but he is somehow protecting him from Gideon. Then comes my theory I've been thinking a lot about lately. When Gideon tricked Stan into "signing" the deed to the Mystery Shack, Stan says,"Uh..You might wanna take another look there."Either Stan is really good at figuring out works of Gideon, or, more likely, he went back in time and rewrote the signature. He looked in the twins' direction before going back, that's for sure. Earlier in the season, the twins had messed with time. He had probably been looking at Dipper, and, though Dipper may not have known it, there might've been some sort of thing about him after "The Time Traveler's Pig" that helped Stan go back. That would explain why Gideon said "no one to protect ya now". Somehow, this could be protecting Stan. But I have no clue how that is.
