Brothers and sisters, this video marks our 25th meeting! And to celebrate this milestone of half a years worth of mystery solving, challenge taking, and code cracking - Ive decided to tackle dissecting the series of Gravity Falls shorts, Dippers Guide to the Unexplained! A topic SO MASSIVE that Ill be taking 6 meetings to discuss it. One for each episode, and a final meeting to talk about the secret image at the end of each short and what is formed when theyre combined!\r
\r
The first episode of Dippers Guide to the Unexplained starts off in the middle of Dippers Guide to the Unexplained - Gravity Falls Anomaly #13: The Mobius Chicken Strip. Though this is quickly abandoned for the sake of the core plot (chasing down the unnamed monster that loves Summerween candy), its a very important puzzle piece to analyze. \r
\r
A Mobius Strip is a shape with only one side. Think of it as a road thats looped in a way that if you walked in one direction long enough you would walk on both the top and the bottom of that road without having to change sides. This is important because the Mobius Strip is usually represented by the symbol for infinity.\r
\r
The infinity symbol sort of looks like a sideways number 8 (∞) - but the symbol can also be shorthand for the Ouroboros. The ouroboros is a symbol that looks like a snake eating its own tail, and its woven throughout a few religions, but notably its used by alchemists.\r
\r
This is important to note, because its just the first of many direct references to the symbol in Dippers Guide to the Unexplained. \r
\r
This short also breaks the floor plan for the second story of the Mystery Shack! When Dipper chases after the unnamed candy stealing monster, we see a brief 3D recreation of the upper floor of the Mystery Shack. This quick sequence locks some locations into place that completely warp the internal space of the shack!\r
We know that the triangular window opposite the doorway to Dipper and Mabels bedroom leads to the front door of the Mystery Shack (The assumed main entrance to museum for visitors). We know this because Mabel fires her grappling hook out the window in Tourist Trapped. We also know that the stained glass window near the stairs opens to the green awning over their rear porch (the main entrance for their private quarters) . We see Dipper escape Wax Sherlock Holmes via that window. The problem is that Dipper runs from his bedroom to the stairs passing the stained glass window to his left. Theres no way that can work though, because the building isnt L shaped - its rectangular. \r
\r
But what do you think? How will alchemy play a part in the unfolding story of Gravity Falls? How can the Mystery Shack warp its internal space like that? How did Dipper and Mabel get the Candy Monster out of the house - and will we see it again in the future? Leave your theories and suggestions in the comments below!
