so stan totally had a secret twin brother right. im not the first one to say this but,
rounder, thinner rimmed glasses.
when he found them in the hidden room he tucked them away before anyone could see
then was just looking at them later
and who is that kid reading in the back, with similar hair
im actually betting that his twin’s name was stanley. in dreamscapers when bill was remembering “stan pines” he was actually remembering stanley, which is why he didn’t say “stanford”. speaking of bill, if you look on his wheel you see both the symbol on stan’s hat and the glasses, meaning they’re 2 separate people.
perhaps stanford and stanley were searching for the secrets of gravity falls together, that’s why grunkle stan was so adamant about lying to the kids about the stuff going on to keep them safe, he knows how dangerous it is because he lost his brother to it?
also:
the “stanley mobile”. did stanford take stanley’s car after something happened to him?
and since stan and the kids share the same last name, stan must have had a brother, and that brother must have had a son, and that son is dipper and mabels dad. so “stanley” would be their grandfather. that would have made whatever happened to him hurt more for stanford, he already had a family by the time he disappeared.
I like to buy into the theory that Bill had something to do with the disappearance of Stanley. Especially after this line.
He sounds like he has a little experience dealing with siblings before Dipper and Mabel.
Stanford, what did you do?
OH GOD YOU’RE RIGHT
THATS WHY GRUNKLE STAN NEVER TALKS ABOUT HIM
IT’S HIS FAULT HE’S GONE, SOMETHING HAPPENED AND STANFORD DIDN’T SACRIFICE HIS WORK FOR HIS TWIN
Remember when Stan did the thing?
And then he was scanning something from it?
And then he puts on this glove!
Woops, wrong picture…
This glove!
What if stans brother is the one who wrote the book. The six fingered kid. I mean, weird shit was already happening in gravity falls before the books were written so what if stan and his brother wrote it. And after summoning bill, Grunkle Stan wrote in the red part “He can’t be trusted.” and “Do not summon at all cost!”
