I need a compilation of all the theories the GF fandom came up with before the finale, like “significance of some characters having 4 fingers while others have 5″, “Dipper’s been possessed by Bill since Sock Opera”, “Gideon is a vampire”…so many good ones that amounted to nothing lmao
Hah oh my god where do I start…
I’ll try to do it per episode.
• Stan is not what he seems. Connected to Grandpa Stan theory.
• Soos is a psychic/knows more than he seems.
• Wendy is a mermaid. Because her boots were always muddy.
• McGucket and Stan were friends. That’s why Stan didn’t laugh at him in The Legend of the Gobblewonker. This also inspired the Mystery Trio headcanon.
• Wax Larry King is lurking somewhere. [ACTUALLY CONFIRMED].
• Gideon is a vampire. Because Dipper said “maybe your next boyfriend will be a vampire”.
• Lebam theory. That one animation error that caused many people to believe Mabel has an “evil twin”.
• Robbie is a zombie.
• Dipper clones 3 and 4 are still alive somewhere. [ACTUALLY CONFIRMED].
• The president’s key will be useful someday.

• Fiddleford McGucket is the Author of the Journals.
• Stan’s twin is the Author of the Journals. [ACTUALLY CONFIRMED].
• McGucket is the baby in the covered wagon.

• The Northwests got their fortune by making a deal with Bill. Seriously what is up with that tapestry?
• Stan is “Stanford” while the twin is “Stanley”.
• The number of fingers theory.
