[@SKy_the_Thunder]

"R34LITY" might just refer to _our_ reality. Real life. The only place Bill can't possibly use his godly powers in, because it's outside the scope of fiction. It's the one place Hirsch can't write larger scale events for. Bill can at most hope to act on an individual level, which other characters have a good chance avoiding. Plus it ties into why this ARG plays out in our world.

[@TheDark4light]

It also ties in to why it's a weak point. If you believe the idea that every story, every interpretation and so on has its own universe then in order to destroy that universe you'd just need to get rid of the person "dreaming" it up. Millions of not billions of lives ended or changed because a writer forgot a plot point. Id call that a serious weak point.

Well the first thought that popped into my mind with the words "Hole in Space" is the concept of a wormhole... Which (according to the slightly-wrong, but often sited paper-folding with pen inserted example) makes me think that there is a page in the book (Possibly more than one...) where if you fold it in some way shape or form, you'll get some new piece of information.

The phrase “I cannot see him, he is blind” is likely a reference to fiddleford erasing his memory and to the society of the blind eye. However, this got me thinking, did McGucket create the memory gun to defeat bill? When mcgucket found his old memories, he references bill cypher in the last memory shown. This is well after mcgucket had already erased his memories of entering the portal, and this always struck me as odd. Furthermore, why did he use the memory gun so much more than anyone else? My theory is that in the portal, bill corrupted mcgucket’s mind, and that fiddleford continuously used and adjusted the memory gun to be able to destroy the corruption.

[@lulolie]

It's confirmed in the same episode that shows he made it that he made it because he was traumatized by Bill (and used it so many times because of his guilt of potentially ending the world through helping make it) So kind of, but no, not really. Would be a feat and a half if that was the goal though, seeing as McGuckets mind is too broken and volatile for Bill to inhabit.

[@alexkingsley2364]

And it WAS what let the cast defeat Bill! Erasing Stan's memories is what 'banished' Bill (dunno what else to call it).

[@electricity-192]

Funfact: when the shapeshifter said "finally.. after all these years.." could of been foreshadowing stan saying "finally.. after all these years, i have them all."

[@ultimateeevee9588]

If you are talking about the Shapeshifer from Ford's bunker, then no? Stan got all 3 books, and said that line, by the end of season 1. The bunker was explored during Season 2 episode 2 (I could be wrong, but I know it's not episode 1 since that's when the invisible ink is discovered). So the Shapeshifter would be quoting Stan, and not foreshadowing him.

​@NajeebGamer190your not special

[@TheCartoonConnoisseur]

I feel like the unravelling of the Nightmare Realm (In the book of Bill, it is shown that the Nightmare Realm is slowly destroying itself) has to tie in with this. Maybe the hole in space is the Nightmare Realm itself or some leftover residue from Weirdmaggedon. Also in Weirdmaggedon part 1, when Time Baby shows up to defeat Bill he says that if weirdmaggedon continues, it could destroy the very fabric of existence. Seems like that fits with the whole "There's a Hole in Space" thing. But I'm not quite sure how

[@AgnusMiddle.]

In diary number three, after Stanford goes through the portal to end up in Bill's dimension, he manages to get to safety and find a group of refugees who ended up stranded in the realm of nightmares, it is mentioned that they were space collectors and that they ended up there after falling into a vortex (Basically a free entry where you can end up anywhere). Are there entrances and accesses throughout the multiverse connected to the realm of nightmares? Could the hole you mention in the Gravity Fall universe be one of them? All this resonates a lot in my head.

[@EditDeath]

Maybe Time Baby's defeat is part of it? I know he's supposed to be able to come back after 1,000 years, but his absence during that time, leaving time master-less, might be the tipping point, especially if anything happens to prevent Time Baby's reconstitution

[@lordavalanche13plays74]

Bill wants the axolotl to Gain immortal power to become most powerful being in the Multiverse, and all he has to do is to gain the power of the ancient axolotl. He says he invokes the ancient power that he may return. That means he’s going after the axolotl.

[@disguisedskeleton7592]

Btw antimatter is not “negative matter”. It’s a form of matter that annihilates when it comes into contact with its corresponding antiparticle, annihilating meaning converting all the energy in their mass to other forms. Basically, exploding.

[@mikeyallen6758]

Small correction, the three body problem isn't unsolvable. It is just as beholden to the laws of physics as a two body system. Its just that the system becomes chaotic, which just means that the result is very sensitive to the initial state. Knowing the initial conditions means you can predict how the system will evolve

[@lubie_nalesniki_3436]

Gravity rise releases

[@PotatoNuggets26]

Spoilers for Gravity Falls and Amphibia!!!!! As I was watching this, I actually realized something. As many people know, the other Disney shows Amphibia and The Owl House all take place in the same universe a Gravity Falls, though judging by easter eggs Gravity falls takes place much earlier in time than the other shows. While most to all the connections are just easter eggs, and they may not even be "canon", but it still begs the question, what if there is more of a connection than we originally thought, especially to Amphibia. A book written by a Mr. P is what leads Marc to the box in the first place and we see Bill in that book. Main point here is that axolotls, like Mother Olm, are very important the plot of Amphibia and are shown to have a closer connection to the Guardian, a figure that seems very similar to the Axolotl in Gravity Falls. While the physical form we see of the Guardian ends up being Anne's cat, it still begs the question. What if the Guardian and the Axolotl are the same entity? Edit: I just realized that the solar system doodle at 7:23 matches up with the layout of the invisibility glyph from The Owl House near perfectly!!!

[@CoolScratcher]

This is actually a very good idea, but there's sadly not much information about either entity. All we know is that the Guardian has been guarding the box for a VERY long time, and the Axolotl has been worshipped. There's a possibility of them being the same entity but I don't think there's any direct evidence to support the theory.

[@PotatoNuggets26]

@CoolScratcher I know there is literally no evidence, It was more of a sudden "Wait a dang minute" moment than something I actually did any research on, other than that I watched both the shows tbh 😅

[@AnthonyWeust]

@@PotatoNuggets26I had a theory, before the book of bill, the thing bill was alluding to when saying that he will return was going back to the start of the universe and redoing everything, making the same mistakes again and again forever

[@sophiastargazer]

Olms are a different species than axolotls, though, from a different family within the order of amphibians. Olms also evolved in underground caves without natural light (unlike axolotls), which is why they're blind - just like Mother Olm.

Axolotls are usually blind because then tend to live in bark places where sight isn't viable, and if like other eye related religious symbols Bill can see through eyes or eye runes (like what are scattered all across the show) then that would explain why the Axolotl is a problem for Bill. If you read this far please comment and like so that this can get some attention and not get passed up

Towards the end of the season 2 episode "Dungeons, Dungeons, and More Dungeons", Dipper asks Ford what he had been working on. Ford then yanks the cover off of the portal and explains that it was constructed to punch a hole "in a weak spot of our dimension". Ford and McGucket had built the portal together with Bill as Ford's muse, and McGucket was never keen on having Bill around as shown in a flashback in the episode "The Last Mablecorn". I think the "hole in space" from McGucket's paper refers to the portal and it would have been written when the portal was being built. The more frantic scribbles would have been from after McGucket got sucked headfirst into the portal, beginning his descent into paranoia and madness. The phrase "I cannot see him, he is blind" may be linked to when McGucket created the memory gun and Blind Eye Society as a result of his paranoia from Bill, although the identity of "him" is ambiguous to me. It could refer to either Bill or Ford, it could even be from Bill referring to McGucket if he entered his mind during his sleep.

little theme i noticed regarding the infinity symbolisms here. a lot of it isnt actually just symbols representing infinity, but broken ones. Like the snake in the book, it has ouroboros written on it but it is restrained in a way to straighten it out unnaturally, break the infinite cycle. in McGuckets drawings "theres a hole in space" is a magnified part of the ripped apart infinity symbol below. now this seems to me like there is something wrong with the universe, maybe some event caused it to break apart. Since the snake was left by Bill and the whole ouija board lining him up with the space hole thing, it obviously has some implications McGucket mustve known something and frantically tried to figure out what to do, wanting to tell ford about it, but from the context im guessing that was around the time he went mad. Reality 34 could also BE that hole in space, but that requires a bit of mental gymnastics. Im not entirely caught up on the lore so this is just some of my little thoughts

I think if they go there and fight, they’d be erased, this also includes Bill. MAYBE except for Mabel because Anti-Mabel was in Dimension M4b3L, in which makes her immune somehow.

But anyways if you go to the 2nd page and look at the bottom, you get a cipher code to figure out. If translated then you get "Per aspera ad astra". It's some wording in Latin, translate and you get "through the rough,to the stars" reach is relating to something in space, maybe it's that Galaxy or universe 34 we found?!

[@coffeedrinkerrr]

i have a theory! what if ford knows about the real world? us? he's been through a LOT of dimensions, maybe including ours! i mean, he changed clothes with stan, but he kinda hid it from the viewer. 'what if it was for bill?' if it was for bill, bill would've already seen them change clothes, so it has to be us, right?

[@Yami-mugoni613]

I don’t think so he never break the fourth wall and there is no reason to show us in case we snitch

[@coffeedrinkerrr]

@ Maybe Ford’s implying it?

3:04 It took us 13 years, but we finally got a Ninjago reference in Film Theory! Now I’m gonna need that Ninjago Film Theory video because I have a lot of questions I need answered. Who caused the merge? What powers Zane? Who really is Mr. E and his connection to Mr. F? I need answers! 😂

[@lowkeyscustomcars]

3:04 Ninjago mentioned⁉️ Oooh are we gonna get a theory? Would love to see a vid on that, i mean theres like 18 seasons, a special, bunch of books, and a movie (that is almost completely unrelated from the show). Maybe we could get a vid on what happened to the time twins? We havent seen them since s7, and im PRETTY SURE they arent dead because we havent seen a new elemental master of time, and if there was one, they wouldve gotten invited to the tournament of the sources. So maybe Krux and Acronix are still alive, or in a different realm, or in a different time altogether. Or maybe because theyre lost in time, there just are no more elemental masters of time, like they broke the cycle.

[@Arqade-2562]

7:22 It could actually relate to atomic structure assuming it is a Bohr model but it could be either or.

[@TheCollector73]

What if bill avoids reality 34 because his parents escaped to that demension

[@Nartymer]

My take on Reality 34 is that the henchmaniacs found a home there by tearing a hole through the fabric of space which is what "There's a hole in the space" and "weak point" are meant to say. The weak point being the fact that that's the weak point of reality, i.e. the easiest way in and out of bill's dimension. Maybe the next clue is found with this interpretation? I guess it doesn't make much sense for that reality to be the one to hide from bill then so idk

[@ElLiAnimates]

The thing that made my heart ache is the fact that even when he was going insane you can see at the bottom of the page he wrote 'IS MY SON SAFE' 😭😭

[@PipHalsey]

My theory is that Dimension 34 is the dimension that Rick and Morty exist in. Hear me out. Rick and Morty are "Originally" from C-137, until they switched to a different dimension that was similar but was never out right named. What if that was Dimension C-134? There has already been connection from Gravity Falls and Rick and Morty before. While I doubt Gravity Falls would directly reference Rick and Morty, I could see the villains that escaped to Dimension 34 popping up in Rick and Morty. And it would make sense that dimension would be "forbidden" since it was locked out by the finite curve. But the finite curve was brought down by Evil Morty, so it might not be off limits anymore.

[@jaydengalo7470]

Ninjago stoped being good as soon as the third series came out

[@Darkvest13]

Long before time had a name, the First Spinjitzu Master created Ninjago using four elemental weapons. But when he passed, a dark presence sought out to collect them all: Lord Garmadon. So I, Sensei Wu, his brother, sought out to find four ninja to collect them first.

[@therealmakemotion]
