Back to Stanley

Back to Characters

Stanley's room is the subject of the episode Carpet Diem. We can deduce a few things from it.

calendar

July 4, 1982

This is believed to be the date of an important event in Stanley's life. See this page for more details.

owl

According to Stan's Tattoo (DGttU), all secret societies worship a barn owl. Owls pop up all over Gravity Falls. I'm not quite sure what this means, but owls will definitely play a factor later in the series.

rainbow pyramid

Continuing the trend of referencing Bill Cipher and Illuminati symbols.

Experiment 78

clockwise and counterclockwise arrows

body swapping properties

OK. We know Stanley was likely an inventor. According to my theory, he was the mastermind of his secret gang, which included McGucket and later Stanford.

rimmed glasses

The rimmed glasses are the same as the ones seen on Bill Cipher's wheel. Now, they could represent Stanford, but he already has the first symbol on his fez. I think they represent Stanley.

Stanford's mood shift

Stanford seemed to be grumpier than usual on this day. It could easily be because the room reminded him of the date when his brother was kidnapped.
