NOTES, CORRECTIONS, AND FOLLOW UP INFO: WRITTEN VERSION OF TIMELINE: www.tumblr.com/fordtato/721241687528177664/the-gravity-falls-timeline 1.) Mothra (1961) is a more accurate reference match for the Mothgar poster in the room, mentioned in chapter 3. Thank you to those who have pointed it out. ^_^ 2.) THE STAN O WAR THING MIGHT HAVE BEEN 1961, but I am not sure, and it is killing me. Upon looking closer, Stan says he was 10 when he started writing Lil Stanley comics. And I can not tell if this means that the Lil Stanley comics were BEFORE they found the Stan O War by a few years or if they found the Stan O War when they were 10. Looking very closely, the Stans look younger in that panel when Stan is drawing than the Stans do in the show, AND younger than the way the artist draws 12-yr-old Dipper and Mabel in that comic, and Stan appears to have one less front tooth and is wearing a different outfit than both of his other Young Stan appearances. But also, the mess in their room looks the same as when they find the Stan O War in ATOTS. BUT ALSO THE FURNITURE does NOT match the furniture in ATOTS, so it might be a different year actually? But also, Stan has a bandaid on his cheek, similar to ATOTS and The Jersey Devil Comic (but the bandaid *is* in a different placement in the JD comic, and we know Stan gets THAT injury by getting cut with glass when he breaks into the chain case, seemingly AFTER finding the Stan O War, so the bandaid on his cheek might be from a different injury in the Lil Stanley flashback.) But if it IS 1961, this would make the Lil Brucey quote make more sense. It would mean that the references to xmen and skimparella need to be treated similarly to the pop culture references in the Journal (We know when the X-Men came out, but not when the X-Cessive force came out.) I gotta think about it. BUT WHAT ABOUT THE SHARPIE? ... Hana, you hack. 3.) I have not been able to confirm the validity of the tweet from Hirsch regarding Ford being dragged to a party with weed in college. I remembered seeing it, as had several friends of mine, but upon searching after this video was posted, we could NOT find the original tweet. I am not sure if the tweet was deleted or if it is a fake tweet, but I had a responsibility to verify this tweet before I included it in my video, and did not check as thoroughly as I should have. If it is fake, apologies. 4.) Thank you to everyone who has watched and commented so far.

Stan said he wrote his comic at age 10, and he and Ford look the same as other flashbacks. Along with Soos' birthday, there's also Saturday of NWHS directly followed by DD&D on lazy Tuesday. And the portal activating 18 hours after 5am must be no later than 11pm but it's still not dark out. I also tried determining the chances of Eda being Marilyn, though things started flopping around revealing she mid-40s, and got earth access as a teen, on the other side of the country.

I reread the comics last night and saw the "when I was 10" line, and I'm already working on a "Things I got wrong" follow-up video. I DO think that this might mean they found the Stan O War in 1961, then, and it would make the Lil Brucey thing make more sense. (Though it is possible that he started the comics before he found the Stan O War, but the state of the mess rooms being identical to the series makes me doubt that, THOUGH, they do have a different furniture arrangement, upon closer inspection .) But also they look a little younger, and Stan seems to be missing a tooth? so maybe they're 10 when he draws the comics, but 13 in the show? The jury is out, but it's going in my "corrections" short video.

What if Fiddleford made the video logs after the portal test? It’s after he leaves that Ford starts to notice all the Blind Eye symbolism appearing. I might be wrong, but I think I remember in Journal 3, Ford mentions that after Fiddleford left, the memory gun also disappeared. We know he saw… terrible things… in the portal, that might have been the incident that led him to start really testing on himself. It would be a bit of a retcon from “Society of the Blind Eye” but at least then, he would actually be (more) right when he said he’d been with Ford for a year.
@hanahyperfixates

That actually makes a lot of sense, and I am considering including that in my written version of the timeline - the only issue is that Fiddleford calls himself "Test Subject 1 - Fiddleford" when he shoots himself with the memory gun, and we know he's used it several times before then (on people he hired for construction, etc/ on Ford), and has even begun talking to Ivan, etc. BUT he likely wouldn't want to divulge that on tape, so perhaps he lied on his official records? I'll have to think about that!

I relate to you a lot on the Tad Strange Intermission. Not with this specific case but in other fandoms like Zim and whatever. At least a bunch of the other creators understand they shouldn't be making fun of the fanbase that's GIVING THEM MONEY! People would ask Jhonen Vasquez questions about what he hated about the fanbase and he'd refuse to answer and honestly I think that's the best thing! Sigh. Edit: I wrote this very late at night so it's poorly phrased, what I meant was less with the monetary transaction between fans and creators and more about how humiliating it would be to spend money going to a con to see your favorite creator, and then they openly mock your ideas on stage. Can you imagine how embarrassing and hurtful that might be? Why would any creator think that's okay to do to their fans?

If I were in that crowd, I would have felt so stupid. Alex made a show we were supposed to analyze, but apparently the fans went too far by,,, creating a character from the little material they had? That's a really odd place to draw the line. Overall, it was an incredibly mean response. Jhonen's fan-creator boundaries have always stood out to me. He isn't afraid to disappoint fans, which, let's be real, is the worst-case scenario of not answering. That got him through some rough Q&A panels. Not to shade Alex too hard, but we love a man who knows when to stay quiet.

For the Reagan bit, it could be that in the Gravity Falls universe, Reagan is actually somewhat smart / interesting. There's been a precedent in the show of the US government just kind of doing whatever they want when it comes to US presidents (Quentin Trembley), perhaps they used Ford's tie in order to make Reagan a puppet rather than the possibly capable politician he could have been. That way Ford could have wanted to debate him because he knows what Reagan was actually like? Idk, just a possible explanation I thought of. EDIT: And we could also say that Reagan was hypothetically a good person in this universe, but turned into who we know him as through mind control. Making it so Ford doesn't like Reagan in the sense that we might think, but rather imaginary cool gay left-leaning Reagan.

My headcanon is that the memory reel of McGucket that we see is recorded after the portal incident (since he said that he had quit the project) but that was when he invented a new version of the memory that was more effective (he emphasized "permanently") and that for the same reason affect the brain aggressively and dangerously. I believe memories erased with the old gun that he invented after the Gremoblin incident would eventually come back on their own without visual aids - like how Ford in one of the blacklight pages describes how his memories have come back - and didn't cause neurological damages with repeated use, since we don't see that with Ford and Fiddleford in that period. Tbh I came up with that theory after mistakenly thinking I had identified discrepancies between the gun schematics in the journal and between the show, which I just checked again and they aren't really there. Though now I've noticed that in the journal it is said to blast "a wave of radiation" and not the lightning beam we see with later iterations. But on the other hand, on the aforementioned blacklight page, there does appear to be a flash, so it is actually established that the 'former' one also caused a flash somehow. Well, even if they look and maybe work (mostly) the same way, I still think it fits if "anal-retentive" Fiddlefore (Ford's words, not mine) treats some tweaks he made to an existing prototype with the same hubbubb than a genuine new invention, especially because the changes would have been so important to him. He whose aim was to forget traumatic events couldn't deal with not having succeeded preciously in preventing them from coming back, likely causing him to relive them like the first time (and that over and over again).

Could not figure out the reversed audio on around 2:04:00 sadly even after multiple listenings. 2:04:32 the bottom code translates to "What's the second KEY?" I haven't even figured out the first one 😭 The upper one reads Pw: al mw grrvouvi I am enjoying it so much anyways. A video I needed and a video I wanted. Overanalyzing everything and taking it to their advantage. I was never able to map out a timeline on my own so this was really satisfying going really into detail There is a code on the fridge kn 2:34:28 It reads "rab gatftj fcf kbs" and before that, the blue letters in the message write the word "two" Yeah, no idea The blue letters at the end message read "Codes but where are the key.

I was thinking D, D & more D had another name before 1974 and rebranded during that year. They did it in the 90s and became "Diggity Dungeons and All That" before rebranding back to the name we know it as, so maybe it was just something the game did sometimes.

Alright, I'm back to decipher some stuff. The chapter title "Wkh Zulwlqj Rq Wkh Zdoo (Theme Song)" uses a Caesar cipher (all letters are shifted over a certain number of spaces, in this case, three). When shifted back, "Wkh Zulwlqj Rq Wkh Zdoo" translates to "The Writing On The Wall."

2:04:33 has a couple of codes. The only one I can decipher right now is "Texq'p qeb pbzlka HBV?" When run through another Caesar cipher, it reads" What's the second KEY?" I presume this means that "KEY" is the code for a Vigenere or potentially Slidefair cipher. I tried both for the other code (PW almw grrvouvi) on the screen at the time, but didn't get any results. So, we're going to have to do this out of order.

2:20 my thought for the memory gun thing is that Fiddleford is saying Day 74 of USING the memory gun rather than Day 74 since inventing it. I feel like it’s very heavily indicated that Fiddleford overused the memory gun, especially in the beginning. I hope this makes the timeline make more sense.

There are some great photos of the older rides online. I wouldn't be surprised if it has a real world analog.

Halfway through here, but on the topic of Ford misremembering TTRPGs that he played and the weird copywrite date there I think are three equally understandable explanations (that aren't just the writers making an oopsie whoopsie). First and most likely, he doesn't literally mean Stanley mocked him for specifically the D&D analog. It's likely just him referring to all the versions as one game, the same way people today classify D&D 3.5, 5 PF, PF2E as one game with different rules between each version. The second is that the game he cited was copywritten in 1974, but he played an open source more word of mouth loosely defined version of it previously. It doesn't line up with reality but neither does 90% of the show. The third point is just that he misremebered the copywrite year, and/or wrote the last one he remembered seeing which could have been an updated copywrite year. Which I believe is more plausible than him forgetting which game he played. I mean the real reason is that's the year the real game came out, and the writers didn't think about the timeliness. A shocking revelation, I know
