#gravity falls speculation

(one also wonders how this carpet would interact with someone possessed by Bill, which may have been why Ford was studying it...)

One thing that was never clear to me is that if the Society of the Blind Eye went around erasing villager’s memories of the abnormal things they saw, why were Dipper and Mabel the exclusion? Sure, it could have been that they weren’t in the open with their findings, but I’m curious as to how they never found out when they first met the gnomes.

But I had to do this comic.

Something I noticed, and I'm sure others have as well: Both his black sash and the crack in his glasses are gone in this scene. That's some of the reason why I don't think this is really Ford; rather just Bill's projection to Ford of "what it would be like if he joined him". Probably to convince Ford to do just that, since it's looking like Bill really needs info that Ford probably has on how to get out of the barrier.

Not knowing how exactly everything will be resolved, I hope the final ending will involve one of 2, possibly 3, things 1) Summer Loop - some time travel is involved, and Dipper and Mabel restart the summer with knowledge of what's to come. They use it to correct future mistakes. Possible because time travel does exist, but not a permanent loop. 2) All Cleaned Up - after Bill is defeated, the town is rebuilt/magically restored. The townspeople and magical creatures know of/live peacefully with each other. At the end, Stanley and Ford go off with each other on their boat to explore the world *cue tears*. 3) Other Happy Ending - like option 2, but with Dipper and Mabel commenting on how summer ends eventually, as do all good things for a little while, but they'll be back next year. Ends with that, and with the Grunkles staying at the shop. I'm guessing a combo of 2 and 3, possibly with both types of endings: Grunkles leaving on a boat, coexistence with creatures, and Dipper and Mabel commenting they'll be back eventually. Either way *cue tears*
