#double dipper

I still remember when Wendy told Robbie about Dipper and the first encounter in Double Dipper. She mentioned The Inconvenicing and said he would remember Dipper because of it. Then...Robbie said he didn't.

At the same time, you can see him getting zapped by the memory wipe in The Society of Blind Eyes episode. In there, if I recall correctly, Robbie was captured by the Society because of the incident in Fight Fighters.

If you're combining these, you can see two options.

He got zapped and actually forgot about Dipper

He pretended not to remember Dipper on purpose

Which is your choice? If you have the third option to suggest, what would it be??

I just realized that maybe Stanley used the copier machine to multitask while he was working on the portal. Like, during the day a clone of himself will be working as Mr. Mystery in the Shack, another will be helping Stan with the portal.

What if Stanford and Fiddleford also used the machine to help them with the portal, too?

You know what else would be kinda crazy? If a copier Stanley cloned a whole secret group and they left Gravity Falls, each going their separate ways. Then they all have the same idea and cause massive destruction on every other tourist trap in the area to lower down the competition. And maybe that’s why there’s so many people out to get Stanley, and Stanley spent years doing damage control over what the clones did.

Double Dipper takes place on Stan's (and Ford's) birthday

Proof? Okay!

In Journal 3, Dipper writes a little bit about each episode. Sometimes he includes the date, sometimes not.

When the kids go into Stan's mind in Dreamscaperers, Dipper writes about seeing a memory of Stan on his birthday and notes "Apparently, his birthday is June 15th. Who knew?"

If we flip the pages back to June 15, there is no specific entry for that date. There is, however, an entry for The Inconveniencing on June 14. The next entry is undated, but shows the Clone Schedule from Double Dipper. After that is Irrational Treasure, dated June 18.

Stan randomly deciding to throw a big party that close to his birthday can't be a coincidence. At the beginning of the episode, Stan seems more grumpy/upset than usual, and it's never addressed in the episode. Soos also asks, "Mr. Pines, who's birthday is it again?" And Stan just says, "Nobody's."

Considering what happened on his birthday the year prior, it shouldn't be a shock that he didn't tell anyone it was his birthday.
