I rewatched Time Traveler’s Pig, and you know how Grunkle Stan spends most of the episode in the dunk tank, taunting the people who can’t dunk him?
Some episode ideas that never made it into Gravity Falls (text below in case pictures don’t load (italicized comments are mine)):
Dipper and Mabel are pretty good and actually kind of respect them now. (guessing this was the last part of one from a previous page)
The BIG THING is in town…redneck owner taunts Stan. Mocks him in front of other tourists. Stan feels washed up? Or tells the kids to go spy on the BIG THING?
Episode with They Might Be Giants voicing ACTUAL GIANTS. Huge footprints in forest get Dipper curious. And he and Wendy go out to find out the source? Whats the story here? They can cause earthquakes?
Superpowers- Episode where something gives Mabel super strength. Dipper gets the ability to make his enemies grow hair. Or something random and stupid. Soos gets the power of lightning. Wendy can control animals? But only snails or something? (I think Alex might have mentioned this in one of the commentaries, I might have enjoyed this)
Pacifica needs the kids help- against her better judgement. Something went missing from daddy’s mansion. Hates them but is going to get in trouble, lose her credit card privileges, etc. Dipper helps her but hates her. She meanwhile tries to seduce Dipper to learn something, and he tells her off LOUD and VISCERAL. You are what’s wrong with this world. She’s hurt, but also impressed. And Kinda likes him now. No one talks to her that way. We learn that she’s more human than we thought. It turns out she’s under a LOT of pressure from her parents? Still is terrible though. (looks like elements from this one made it into “Northwest Mansion Mystery”)
RumorCrunchers (Mythbusters) come to town and Stan doesn’t want his Shack getting debunked on state-wide television.
Story where horrible new mayor causes intense censorship. Where we can stick it to censors for being the bain of existence. (HA!)
Durland has book and can’t read
Mabel gets good at miming )
“Christmas” Special- Starts with Stan blanketing town in snow trying to free mammoth. Maybe THIS is where we do our THE THING parody? Or maybe something more horrifying? Must defy everything we hold dear about the holidays. (glad we at least got THE THING parody in “Into the Bunker”)
“The Fly”- Dippers fly is always down. Turns out this is caused by the ghost of a kid he used to always mock in elementary school. He’s getting what he deserved for tormenting the guy. In order for him to let the curse go Dipper has to get the ghost what the ghost wants- a date with his sister or whatever. (Dipper does not end up caring what people think about his fly, and not caring makes him impossible to mock? Etc?)
Stan builds a Computer- Explores Dippers obsession with the internet, which he misses, and Stan’s phobia of technology. Computer leads to fascinating horror. But what? Kids really need to check their internet things.
Scary-Oke- Story which begins with kids needing to sing karaoke song together, somehow involves them using karaoke to (page covered) whatever in the end (okay, so THIS one got made)
Harryhausen Episode- Season Two’s “Fight (page covered) Stan fighting off 30 claymation skeletons (page covered) giant crab? Robot Owl? Something (page covered) (seeing bits from “Little Gift Shop of Horrors” and “Soos and the Real Girl”)

I need a compilation of all the theories the GF fandom came up with before the finale, like “significance of some characters having 4 fingers while others have 5″, “Dipper’s been possessed by Bill since Sock Opera”, “Gideon is a vampire”…so many good ones that amounted to nothing lmao
Hah oh my god where do I start…
I’ll try to do it per episode.
• Stan is not what he seems. Connected to Grandpa Stan theory.
• Soos is a psychic/knows more than he seems.
• Wendy is a mermaid. Because her boots were always muddy.
• McGucket and Stan were friends. That’s why Stan didn’t laugh at him in The Legend of the Gobblewonker. This also inspired the Mystery Trio headcanon.
• Wax Larry King is lurking somewhere. [ACTUALLY CONFIRMED].
• Gideon is a vampire. Because Dipper said “maybe your next boyfriend will be a vampire”.
• Lebam theory. That one animation error that caused many people to believe Mabel has an “evil twin”.
• Robbie is a zombie.
• Dipper clones 3 and 4 are still alive somewhere. [ACTUALLY CONFIRMED].
• The president’s key will be useful someday.
• Stan Twin Theory. [ACTUALLY CONFIRMED].
• Fiddleford McGucket is the Author of the Journals.
• Stan’s twin is the Author of the Journals. [ACTUALLY CONFIRMED].
• McGucket is the baby in the covered wagon.
• Where did Robbie get that CD?
• Grandpa Stan.
• Carla McCorkle is/was Bud’s love interest and possibly Gideon’s mom. She may also be the girl in Cash Wheel.

• Mabel really is Lolph’s ancestor.
• The mailman is Soos’ father.
• Robbie and Tambry’s love potion will wear off.
• Stan will die through fire. [ACTUALLY CONFIRMED].
• Pacifica and Dipper will be in a relationship.
• Pacifica will move in with the Pines.
• The Northwests got their fortune by making a deal with Bill. Seriously what is up with that tapestry?
• Stan is “Stanford” while the twin is “Stanley”.
• The number of fingers theory.
• The infamous Cipher Wheel. [ACTUALLY CONFIRMED but fight me Hirsch it’s cooler than “Zodiac” I’m still bitter about i-].
• Gompers is Bill all along.
• Gompers is Tad Strange.
• Tad Strange is a demon.
• Tad Strange is to Mabel as Bill Cipher is to Dipper.
• Bill never left Stan’s head.
• Dipper’s first name is Mason. [ACTUALLY CONFIRMED].
• Stan’s tattoo is gonna be important. [It kinda is?]
• The Mailbox short which tells the apocalypse in 3012.
• Stan’s fez change.
• Mabel will die.
• Dipper will die.
There are probably more I missed but these are my notes during my theorist days.
Also: – Filbrick Pines was secretly Bill
– Dipper was still somewhat possessed by Bill while Nwhs happened
(I feel like a couple more of these got confirmed.  Like, “the portal will bring in the apocalypse” – well, *technically* that’s true?  Although not immediately.  And “Robbie and Tambry’s love potion will wear off” was confirmed by Journal 3.)
