I felt sad when Stanley looked so happy when Stanford mentioned their old dream of sailing around in a boat. He kept their childhood dream in his heart all that time.
I mean in a weird way it kinda makes sense for him. He was basically a loner his whole life except for him having his brother, when he lost him he got deeper into his quest for mysteries.

Kinda a reference. Remember in the last Mabelcorn Ford says "look at my eyes. Look into my pupils! Its me" Cuz that's how u can know if someone is possessed by Bill and this may be a bit after Ford shuts down the deal with Bill so he thinks that Bill could trick someone else into starting the portal back up and why not start with his brother
In the journal, Ford talks about how he visited a reality where Stan listened to him and took the journal away. Imagine how heartbroken and even more screwed up Stan would be in that reality.
Ford: driven to the point of insanity due to an evil triangle lying to and manipulating him Stan: has a mullet I think we can all agree Stan got the raw deal here.
0:36 Ford checking Stan's eyes isn't just some funny trope of an insane person being overprecautious, he's checking to make sure Stan isn't Bill trying to get another peak at his research. Keep in mind that at this point in the story he'd already been tricked by Bill several times, to the point where he almost lost his eye.
Ford: Remember our plans to sail around the world on a boat? Stan: *smiled because he thought they will go on a boat and sail* Ford: Take this journal. Get on a boat. And sail around the world onto the edge of the world. Where no one can find it. Top 10 Anime Betrayal.
What's so interesting about this scene is that both brothers have a point. Stanley saysFord cares more about his mysteries than his family, and Ford says Stanley ruined his own life. And they're both at fault, too - Stanley ruined his brother's chances at college, and Ford abandoned Stanley when their parents kicked them out. Neither brother is wholly to blame or wholly right. Now that's some deep writing right there!
Jacqueline Schat I dunno, man. It seems Stanly has screwed Ford over WAY more. I mean, he ruined his project, cost him his future, never apologized, THEN straight up cost him 30 years of his life in another dimension of unspeakable horrors because he wouldn't let him burn the journal (why did he even want to burn it), AND THEN he gets all whiny and nearly destroys the universe because he can't hold Ford's hand for a few seconds. Actually, it reminds me a lot of Mabel. Wanted your sibling to always be yours so badly you would actively sabotage their life for trying to leave you to live their own dreams. And neither ever really apologized.
Jacqueline Schat technically Stanley had it worse because no one believed in him and he got disowned for an accident whereas his brother completely disconnected contact with his family on _purpose_ so he could focus on his career and make a deal with an obvious trickster super demon like a moron. I’d like to add that Stanley would be too smart to _ever_ fall for Bill’s bullshit.
You know how you usually take sides with characters? Right now I take neither Ford or Stan's. They were both jerks to each other. Both refuse to listen, understand or forgive. Ugh. Still love them though.
Honestly Stanley suffered more than he did the past 10, just wish Ford was more honest with Stanley about Bill's plans to take over the whole universe.
Stanley and Stanford were both jerks in this tbh. Stanford didn't understand that Stanley was excited to see him after 10 years and Stanley didn't understand how dangerous this could be and how hard Stanford worked on this. instead they fought.
@@cowgod1945 yeah I mean burning the books would have erased the chance of well death guess Stan was just to prideful to let his years of work be burned that way or something
Stanford was a worse because he knew his brother was basically homeless and penniless. Stanford himself even he became successful scientist he never really bothered about his own brother after when he was kick out the house
@@cowgod1945idk, burning one book wouldn't be enough, if a genius took the other 2 could deduce the rest of the info, besides, the journals are also a counter measure against bill, both as a warning as a way to deal with hin
It's a little hard for Stanley to understand when Ford didn't really explain anything. He just rambled on about making mistakes and being in danger. If he'd said something like 'Activating this portal could destroy the entire world' maybe Stan would have taken him more seriously. At least Stan put some detail into why he was angry and what he'd suffered.
I kinda feel bad for stan all he wanted was to sail around the world with his brother even though they did in the last episode but still also I kind of thought it was sad watching the two of them fight the first time I watched this episode
I’m with Stan on this whole thing. The whole reason why he wasn’t interested in going to college was because he assumed that he and Ford would sail around the world the moment they left school and grew upset and distant from his brother. Ford on the other hand was being a complete jerk, he had allowed himself to become so obsessed with everything that’s weird all because he was bullied and wasn’t welcome into society, his family on the other hand made sure he felt welcomed and cared for and loved and that is all a human needs in a family. However Ford allowed his science and his weirdness to get the better of him, completely disregarding his and Stan’s dream without even consulting his brother. Had he done so, his brother would have understood but also try and reassure him that he wasn’t different. Their parents also begin to disregard Stan without even encouraging him to try and find something that he was interested in and just focused on Ford. And in Stan’s defence he didn’t break the machine, he just swatted it in a usual way of doing it and it didn’t break, so of course it couldn’t have been him because he put it back and made sure that it was alright. Someone else (someone jealous) broke it and Stan got the blame. The family was so unfair to him that they demanded him not to return until he paid the million dollar money that the college would’ve paid them for, which is really impossible and unfair for him to do. He also had to endure so much just to do so, but because he wasn’t encouraged to find his own hobbies he wasn’t prepared for the world. As for Ford, he began to become really obsessed and negative towards F and his research all because he was bullied just like he did at Stan. And when he told Stan to take the Journal away that was the last straw for Stan, after everything he’s been through, Ford never considered his wellbeing or anything else, just his research and nothing more
From "Dipper's Guide to the Unexplained: Stan's Tattoo": Dipper: Aha! I thought you said you didn't have a tattoo! Stan: I don't. --- Me (after seeing AToTS): He wasn't lying... HE WASN'T LYING!!! TT~TT
SPOILERS FOR THE LAST MABELCORN BUT ALSO A DISCOVERY: Notice how he checks Stanley's eyes before letting him in. In the Last Mabelcorn we learn that Ford used to work with Bill, but know doesn't trust him. He looks just old enough for it to be after he stops working with Bill. He checks Stanley's eyes to make sure they're not slits: they're not Bill's eyes. That's why he checks Stanley's eyes with a flashlight.
No No, YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT I'VE BEEN THROUGH! I'VE BEEN INTO PRISON IN 3 DIFFERENT COUNTRIES, I ONCE HAVE TO CHEW MY WAY OUT OF A TRUNK OF A CAR! YOU THINK YOU GOT PROBLEMS? I'VE GOT A MULLET STANDFORD!!! MEANWHILE WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? LIVING IT UP IN YOUR FANCY HOUSE IN THE WOODS SELFISHLY HOARDING YOUR COLLEGE MONEY BECAUSE YOU ONLY CARE ABOUT YOURSELF!!!
For anyone who is curious and hasn’t read the book of Bill, the reason that Ford asked “have you come to steal my eyes?!“ Is because, a little under three days prior he had been warned by Bill cipher that he had a friend who would come and steal his eyes unless he complied to his demands and turned on the portal. Unfortunately, even if this threat turned out to not be real, it obviously freaked poor Stanford out. And no doubt it was a pretty big contributing factor that led to this scene playing out the way that it did. With Stanford being sleep deprived and paranoid…
I'm so pissed that Ford still blamed Stanley for everything even after finally getting back to our dimension. The least Ford could've done was admit that he should've let Stanley destroy the journal. His plan was to trust his only brother with the book, and if destroying it was what he thought was best then that's that. At least then all of the destruction and weirdness that Ford was so afraid of would've been avoided.
3:24 the last thing Ford screamed before disappearing was Stanley, similar to how Bill screamed it too before getting erased. Stanley had his brother's last word be his name, spent 30 years learning advanced physics and science (which he had no understanding of prior to this) trying to rebuild the portal that would bring his brother back. He spent 30 years and an apocalipse trying to make it up to his brother, and finally, the final word that he heard before being erased from his own mind, was his name too.
@@bophi_true Or Bill because someone possessed by Bill have the cat eye pupil and maybe the term "steal my eyes" means being possessed because your eyes become Bill's eyes and the eyes are the only thing that is a hint that that is Bill
I kinda feel for stanley more tbh. He spent so many years trying to fix things and get his brother back only to have his twin say "F YOU FOR 30 YEARS AGO". I dunno. Not even thanks.
I love how Ford checks his eyes. It's not explained, but if you remember Sock Opera, it's a fun sign of what's to come. It's even more impactful after reading Journal 3 and finding out Bill possessed the entire town to torment Ford.
A plot hole here is that stanford is okay with never seeing the book again but doesnt want it burned to preserve his research? that doesnt make sense? also why didnt he just vopy everything down except for the gate operating instructions and then destroy the book? hiding it is too dangerous
Here we see how Stan and Ford fell apart due to their ego and selfishness and when Ford was truly lost, Bill was there to exploit his vulnerability. Then we see Dipper and Mabel go through the same thing with their own fear and selfishness and like last time Bill comes to exploit Mabels vulnerability. However unlike with Ford and Stan, Dipper and Mabel are able to reconcile and work together even during the apocalypse. Ford and Stan see this and are inspired by it, which leads them to reconcile and work together to destroy Bill once and for all. That’s why it’s fitting that it’s Ford and Stan who destroy Bill as it is them destroying their past demons and defeated their old enemy by working together and rejecting behind their ego and selfishness.
I love it how Dipper tries to get an answer to the "tattoo" as a spoiler-free short. I just showed mum as a little side thing for lols because she and I are going to marathon the first season tomorrow (she's never watched GF before and I'm hyped :D) and this is my point about how everything weaves together
Ya know....the events leading up to Ford's disappearance never would have happened had Stan called Ford up about the invention being broken and he would have fixed it.
This is why I love Gravity Falls. They cleverly link up these random one time parts. If you don’t know, in Dippers Guide To The Unexplained episode 1, Dipper tries to see Grunkle Stan’s tattoo which has that exact shape in the exact spot he gets it at in here. Which is super clever how they link up some random thing with a part of the series.
Stanley: No no, you don't understand what I'VE been through! I've been to prison in three different countries, I once had to chew my way out of a trunk of a car! You think that you've got problems?! I'VE GOT A MULLET STANFORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Me: ROLF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I'm so pissed that Ford still blamed Stanley for everything even after finally getting back to our dimension. The least Ford could've done was admit that he should've let Stanley destroy the journal. His plan was to trust his only brother with the book, and if destroying it was what he thought was best then that's that. At least then all of the destruction and weirdness that Ford was so afraid of would've been avoided.
Damn, they showed Stan’s pupils contracting in the flashlight’s beam! The attention to detail is amazing.
Puts life’s work into finding out how to use the portal, accidentally turns it on with 3 levers
0:35
Checking to see if he was Bill
Dammit I love this show
Sad Part at 3:12
0:18 Who is it? Have you come to steal my eyes?!!!???
I cried when I first saw this scene ... Ok I'll admit it I still get teary eyed when I see this
ughhh stanley with a mullet
also
"its okay, hes family! he wont bite."
or will he
BOW CHICKA WOW WOWWWWWWW
booo
Malarkey 1195 Yeah, booooooooooooooo!
3:24 the last thing Ford screamed before disappearing was Stanley, similar to how Bill screamed it too before getting erased.
Stanley had his brother's last word be his name, spent 30 years learning advanced physics and science (which he had no understanding of prior to this) trying to rebuild the portal that would bring his brother back.
He spent 30 years and an apocalipse trying to make it up to his brother, and finally, the final word that he heard before being erased from his own mind, was his name too.
2:56 Tattoo theory confirmed
Lmfao "I've got a mullet Stanford!"
And "WHO ARE YOU?! HAVE YOU COME TO STEAL MY EYES?!?!?!?!?
Well I could always count on you for a warm welcome
0:49 the computer on the left is… familiar to say the least
exactly the same one
"HAVE YOU COME TO STEAL MY EYES!!!"
he's freaked out about "the sight of the blind eye"
Well i could always count on you for a warm welcome
@@bophi_true Or Bill because someone possessed by Bill have the cat eye pupil and maybe the term "steal my eyes" means being possessed because your eyes become Bill's eyes and the eyes are the only thing that is a hint that that is Bill
Yes.
no wonder he was hiding that tattoo now we know what happened
0:11 best part
So 2 book are hidden in the same town while the last one is somewhere else in the world. That makes little sense.
Zenidik welcome to plot induced stupidity
I kinda feel for stanley more tbh. He spent so many years trying to fix things and get his brother back only to have his twin say "F YOU FOR 30 YEARS AGO". I dunno. Not even thanks.
1:03 This is why I prefer the original sources of Memes.
That wasn't a tattoo that was a severe burn
it's funny that soos called Wendy at the end
"I'VE BEEN TO PRISON IN 3 DIFFERENT COUNTRIES! I ONCE HAD TO CHEW MY WAY OUT OF THE TRUNK OF A CAR!"
-Stanley Pines
You think you got problems? I have a mullet Stanford!
Oh, I never realised Ford’s foot actually pinned Stanley there for a good 2-3 seconds. I thought he just stumbled back and froze in shock. Oof.
I love how Ford checks his eyes. It's not explained, but if you remember Sock Opera, it's a fun sign of what's to come.
It's even more impactful after reading Journal 3 and finding out Bill possessed the entire town to torment Ford.
The ending is killing me laughter.
"IVE GOT A MULLET"
Mullet is not that bad
The lengths to which J. Jonah Jameson will go to uncover Spider-Man’s identity
WHOA FORD IS CASTIEL!!!
A plot hole here is that stanford is okay with never seeing the book again but doesnt want it burned to preserve his research? that doesnt make sense?
also why didnt he just vopy everything down except for the gate operating instructions and then destroy the book? hiding it is too dangerous
Here we see how Stan and Ford fell apart due to their ego and selfishness and when Ford was truly lost, Bill was there to exploit his vulnerability. Then we see Dipper and Mabel go through the same thing with their own fear and selfishness and like last time Bill comes to exploit Mabels vulnerability. However unlike with Ford and Stan, Dipper and Mabel are able to reconcile and work together even during the apocalypse. Ford and Stan see this and are inspired by it, which leads them to reconcile and work together to destroy Bill once and for all. That’s why it’s fitting that it’s Ford and Stan who destroy Bill as it is them destroying their past demons and defeated their old enemy by working together and rejecting behind their ego and selfishness.
Stanley ain't dumb, he knew how to operate the portal.
Well here is the thing they call Stanford o freak for having 6 fingers when almost all the kids have four fingers
If he hadn't done that last punch Grunckle Ford Would be with us. Well Woudlve Always Been With us!
I love it how Dipper tries to get an answer to the "tattoo" as a spoiler-free short. I just showed mum as a little side thing for lols because she and I are going to marathon the first season tomorrow (she's never watched GF before and I'm hyped :D) and this is my point about how everything weaves together
But there is no edge to the earth...
He didn’t make a portal to another dimension, he made a worm hole
Oh now i get it whenever i watch dipper's guide to the unexplained: stan's tattoo people in the comments cry
Stanford: give it here malfoy
You guys keep making me feel bad. You know, I agree with you. I was a jerk.
Stanford: “Who is it? Do you planned to steal my eyes!?”
*Even people like Ford go insane sometimes*
THE ONE EYE GUY IS BILL
w(°ｏ°)w That's Brand New Information!
the memories
It’s not a tattoo it’s a branding no wonder he hates it
Nice cave johnsen found a way to keep a man's intelligence even when they are dead
A book
Ya know....the events leading up to Ford's disappearance never would have happened had Stan called Ford up about the invention being broken and he would have fixed it.
Soos is a legend
HAVE YOU COME TO STEAL MY EYES?
This is why I love Gravity Falls. They cleverly link up these random one time parts. If you don’t know, in Dippers Guide To The Unexplained episode 1, Dipper tries to see Grunkle Stan’s tattoo which has that exact shape in the exact spot he gets it at in here. Which is super clever how they link up some random thing with a part of the series.
Stan: you have been livening up in your fancy house in the woods
Stanley: No no, you don't understand what I'VE been through! I've been to prison in three different countries, I once had to chew my way out of a trunk of a car! You think that you've got problems?! I'VE GOT A MULLET STANFORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Me: ROLF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
0:15 i replayed it so many times it was so messed up
I’m glad Stanford threw his journal back to Stanley before the portal turned all the way off 3:22
It's Really Is his Tattoo WOW! 3:05 you can see it clearly
