No Such Thing as Bad Publicity: In-Universe. After the Woodstick Festival disaster caused by Stan's shoddy hot air balloon, Stan expressed no concern about the physical and psychological damage caused by it, claiming that "all press is good press".

Love Potion
 Gravity Falls: Journal 3 / int_14a8974a
comment
Love Potion: As seen in "The Love God", but notably the creepy moral quandaries about using a potion to force someone to like them are played with and ultimately averted. Mabel mentions that the Love God's potions aren't actually permanent; they only work for a few hours and act as more of a nudge between the two people under its effects. If the potion wears off and the two are still in love, then it's true love.

Tempting Fate: After the encounter with Quentin Trembley, Dipper and Mabel prank Soos into thinking he himself had been transported into the future. Upon noticing Agent Trigger spotted the journal, Dipper writes "I hope he doesn't ta..." The next page features Trigger's notes. Trigger's last note is about how people will never forget about the arrest they're about to make in "A Tale of Two Stans". Ford uses Fiddleford's memory-erasing ray to make the agents forget.

The Cameo

comment
The Cameo: When Ford went to confront the Northwests over their fraudulent history, he wasn't able to meet the family patriarch. Instead, he met Preston, the future father of Pacifica. Ford's entry on a carnival he and Fiddleford went to had a few familiar characters in it: A fortuneteller that is most certainly the Hand Witch from "Little Gift Shop of Horrors" segment "Hands Off!" reads Ford's palm, gives him a cryptic warning...and then hits on him. Blind Ivan working the rides. It's implied that his encounter with Fiddleford eventually led to his membership in the Society of the Blind Eye.

Birds of a Feather: Dipper writes on his entry on "Dreamscaperers" that one of the memories he saw was of Stan marrying a Las Vegas waitress, Marilyn Rosenstein. It lasted 48 hours because she was just trying to steal his car. Dipper wonders if Stan had really found his soul mate that time. It is much later implied that Marilyn Rosenstein was in fact Eda Clawthorne.

As part of his Must Make Amends towards Fiddleford, Ford encourages him to apply for patents on his inventions. Fiddleford does so, with Ford's help, and becomes wealthy as a result. While Ford could do the same, it's not what he wants anymore so he decides to travel with his brother instead.

Shipper on Deck
 Gravity Falls: Journal 3 / int_31da1e24
comment
When describing the events of "Northwest Mansion Mystery", Dipper mentions he was surprised at how decent a person Pacifica turned out to be. He then writes she "looks kind of okay in an evening dress, I guess". Then Dipper mentions that she smells nice and wonders if they had "some vibe going on", both of which are struck-out but still legible. Pacifica is also illustrated in the same angle, pose, and style as Wendy was earlier in the book. The blacklight edition includes a poem written by Mabel where she implies she noticed the aforementioned entry and advises Dipper to "start combing [his] hair".

Adapted Out: For one reason or another, Dipper does not catalog the events of "Dipper vs. Manliness", "Little Dipper", "Bottomless Pit", "Boyz Crazy", and "Little Gift Shop of Horrors". However, Ford does inadvertently allude to things that would occur in those episodes (such as the Hand Witch and telling stories for 22 minutes after falling into the Bottomless Pit).

Heroes Gone Fishing: One entry states that after an encounter with the Gremloblin, Ford decided he and McGucket needed some downtime and visited a carnival. Ford's writings make it clear that the excursion was mostly for Fiddleford's sake, as after growing up in Glass Shard Beach and losing much cash on the midway games on the boardwalk, he has no real interest in such things.

Would Hurt a Child: Bill reveals that if he had his way in "Sock Opera", he would have forced Dipper's body off the water tower, making it seem like the boy committed suicide. He then implies that he would have subjected Mabel to the same fate.

White Hair, Black Heart
 Gravity Falls: Journal 3 / int_4a0e2f8d
comment
The blacklight message for the mystic amulet states that using it whitens your hair, implying it to be the reason for Gideon's own white hair. However, when Dipper and Mabel traveled ten years into the past in "Blendin's Game", Gideon was seen as a baby, already possessing pure white hair. It is possible that it darkened as he aged, then was whitened again.

Artistic License – Paleontology
 Gravity Falls: Journal 3 / int_4c4bebf4
comment
Artistic License – Paleontology: The Compsognathus in the book is based on outdated designs (i.e., two-fingered and scaly), never mind the fact Compsognathus wasn't discovered in North America let alone Oregon. Of course, none of the other dinosaurs in the show were accurate either. Interestingly, the book seems to allude to the fact that certain dinosaurs were bird-like, by having the Compy show traits of a Thieving Magpie. Lampshaded when Ford and Fiddleford come across a non-fossilized skeleton of a pterosaur, whose species Ford was unable to identify claiming it is "bigger than anything known to science". Said pterosaur is clearly the same kind as the one in the show, as it also resembles a giant Pteranodon with teeth.

Intimate Artistry

comment
Intimate Artistry: Most of Dipper's drawings portray scenes or creatures as they happened, but his first drawing of Wendy, before he properly realizes he's in love with her in "The Inconveniencing", notably has her smiling with her hair blown in a slight breeze, a few leaves trailing her around. Later, in an entry written after "Into the Bunker", he bemoans his "impossible crush on an impossible girl" next to a beautifully crafted picture of Wendy sitting in profile in front of a forest backdrop. Tellingly, a smaller but similar side shot of Pacifica is drawn on a page recounting the events of "Northwest Mansion Mystery", being one of couple hints in that entry that Dipper had a crush on her. In Soos's entry about the events of "Soos and the Real Girl", there's a cute drawing of Melody.

He Knows Too Much: It's implied that Bill messed with Fiddleford's mind when he went through the portal, since Fiddleford was suspicious of the triangle. If it was the case, then Fiddleford was in no state of mind to fight back for thirty years. A young Preston's reaction to Ford telling him about the lumberjacks suggests this.

Mabel has a moment of this in her entry for "Bipper" where she feels like a jerk for not only taking the Journal without asking Dipper, but being so obsessed with her play for her crush of the week that she had no idea Dipper was possessed by Bill the entire time. She feels even worse when she discovers the note that heavily implies if "Bipper" had destroyed the Journal like he'd planned to, he would've jumped off the water tower and made it look like Dipper went crazy. After realizing this, Mabel writes a letter of apology to Dipper and says she owes him a week's worth of ice cream sandwiches.

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Ford had been fighting Bill Cipher during the events of "Not What He Seems", with the portal activating when he was mere inches away from destroying the triangle. Ford had to use a concussion grenade to keep the rest of the demons from following him through the gateway and entering our world. If Stan hadn't activated the portal (or at least waited another couple minutes), Bill would have been destroyed much earlier.

Advice Backfire: Ford's advice to Fiddleford that, as scientists, they must use their own talents to overcome their problems, is what leads Fiddleford to create the Memory Eraser Gun. Subverted by the gun's role in the series finale. Ford realizes that his "Trust no one" warning at the journal's beginning was also a mistake; While trust shouldn't be given unconditionally, you should always give people the chance to earn your trust, and that if he had widened his circle, Bill might have been defeated sooner and Weirdmageddon prevented.

Friendlessness Insult
 Gravity Falls: Journal 3 / int_89e55922
comment
Friendlessness Insult: It is revealed that, ever since the events of the episode "Blendin's Game", Blendin Blandin is still shunned by others despite getting his job back, and is mocked for being friendless by his piers. Even Time Baby, of all beings, mocks him by calling him "No-Friendin Blandin". This results in Blendin Blandin becoming an easy target for Bill Cipher's Demonic Possession, as Bill promised that Blendin will not be mocked anymore.

Reed Richards Is Useless

comment
Reed Richards Is Useless: Something that Fiddleford pointed out to Ford; the man is a genius with a PhD, who could earn all the fame and glory by publishing his findings about Gravity Falls and they could benefit the world. Unfortunately, he presented it by going behind Ford's back and compiling it in a research paper under Ford's name to prove his point, feeding into his friend's paranoia that Fiddleford wanted to steal the glory from him. As part of his Must Make Amends towards Fiddleford, Ford encourages him to apply for patents on his inventions. Fiddleford does so, with Ford's help, and becomes wealthy as a result. While Ford could do the same, it's not what he wants anymore so he decides to travel with his brother instead.

Art Shift: Ford, Dipper, Mabel and Soos all have different art styles: Ford's drawings are very detailed and realistic. Dipper's drawings are like Ford's, but less skilled due to his age. Mabel's drawings are more cartoony than her grunkle and brother and use more than one color. Soos's drawings are fairly average but slightly more realistic than Mabel.

comment
Riddle for the Ages: Despite many references to the other two journals and the fact that the book only has a third of the Universal Portal blueprints, Journal 3 is the only book so far to have been made real-life, leaving us to wonder what occurred in the six years prior. It's implied that while Journal 3 eventually emerged from the bottomless pit, the other two volumes were lost forevernote considering how dangerous the second volume is, it might be for the best.

Never My Fault: As an excuse not to thank him for getting back home, Ford blames Stan for getting him tossed into the portal, stealing his identity, and turning his lab into what he considered a mockery of the paranormal, neglecting both the fact that he was the one that started the fight with Stan that got him thrown into the portal, and that Stan only created the Mystery Shack to pay off Ford's mortgage and bills so that he could fix the portal. He comes to regret this after Stan sacrifices his memories in order to stop Bill for good.

Cerebus Rollercoaster: The book starts out with silly, though sometimes macabre, descriptions of monsters and paranormal phenomena. It then turns much more serious as Ford details his manipulation by Bill and falling out with McGucket. Then it suddenly becomes much lighter as Dipper starts writing. When Ford resumes writing the entries, it gets serious again (barring Mabel's entries), but also much more hopeful.

Been There, Shaped History: According to the journal's hidden messages, Bill had deceived the Egyptians and George Washington into opening a portal to his realm, and the pyramids and the Illuminati symbol on dollar bills were created to appease Bill's anger after they failed to uphold their end of the deal. While Blendin fixed most of the changes Dipper and Mabel made to history in "The Time Traveler's Pig", their presence still resulted in the invention of the high-five over a hundred years early.

Foreshadowing: Inverse examples: In an entry detailing the events of "The Legend of the Gobblewonker", Dipper finds Stan's "StnleyBle" license plate odd. It's actually evidence of who his great uncle really is. Ford's entry and drawing of Wendy has her notably carrying a bag of ice, which is noted in the book from Ford's observations as well, more explicitly linking her to the bag of ice in the zodiac.

comment
Jerkass Realization: In the journal's epilogue, Ford realized what a fool he was not to listen to McGucket, that his belief that greatness can only be achieved alone was ridiculous, and that Stan was not the selfish jerk he thought he was. Mabel has a moment of this in her entry for "Bipper" where she feels like a jerk for not only taking the Journal without asking Dipper, but being so obsessed with her play for her crush of the week that she had no idea Dipper was possessed by Bill the entire time. She feels even worse when she discovers the note that heavily implies if "Bipper" had destroyed the Journal like he'd planned to, he would've jumped off the water tower and made it look like Dipper went crazy. After realizing this, Mabel writes a letter of apology to Dipper and says she owes him a week's worth of ice cream sandwiches.

Rule of Three: For Fiddleford's traumatizing interactions with Gravity Falls, which ultimately ends up causing him to take a turn for the worse to the crazed old man we see in the series: The first time is being attacked and taken away by the Gremoblin. The second time is when the Shapeshifter captures and stuffs him out of the way, while assuming his form in order to deceive Ford for the Journal. And the third time is Fiddleford's accident with the portal, leading to him quitting the project and starting his memory gun inflicted degradation.

Adaptational Jerkass: In the series, Grunkle Ford was arrogant and high-handed, but everything he did seemed to be For Science!. While he still isn't exactly a villain, Ford's journal entries paint a portrait of an obsessed, arrogant Knight Templar whose arrogance and eagerness for fame (almost as much as knowledge) led him to nearly destroy the world. His dismissal of his newly-discovered family (and contemplation of doing experiments on them) doesn't help. He does start to get better after bonding with Dipper, but it takes time.

Halfway Plot Switch: The book starts with a very loose narrative of the Author describing various monsters and other oddities of Gravity Falls. It then transitions into a much more focused story of the Author and 'F' building the Portal, going up until the Author's disappearance. From then, Dipper (sometimes Mabel or Soos) started writing his own adventures in the journal, recapping the events of episodes while telling of some events that happened between, like Dipper crawling through the Mystery Shack's AC system to track down the head of Wax Larry King. Once Ford returns, most of the entries are again written by him, detailing some of his 30 years in the other dimension and experience upon returning.

Anthropomorphic Typography: One of the alternate realities the Author mentions visiting is the "M Dimension", a place where everyone and everything is shaped like the letter "M". He found the place completely baffling, wondering how things like an M-shaped vacuum cleaner would even work. The locals' tendency to replace the first letter of every word with M, leading to sentences like "Mave a monderful mime", left him feeling "muicidal" by the time he was able to leave.

"Where Are They Now?" Epilogue: Following Bill's defeat, Ford writes a final entry that depicts him making up with Stan and Fiddleford, as well as him saying he's thankful to have a family that was there to save him from a disaster of his own making.

When he used Fiddleford's omnispectrascopic goggles, he saw that their true appearance was that of a hideous thing whose silhouette is only in the shape of a Wizard Classic.

Irony: Ford mentions that during his travels throughout the multiverse, he ended up becoming a wanted man much like Stan is on Earth, and was sure to draw attention to the irony. While Ford hopes that the Portal would get him fame and recognition, Fiddleford points out that he also could do it with his previous findings instead. It's strongly implied that had Ford listened to him, he would have indeed found fame and made millions, instead of going near insane and ending up lost in the multiverse for thirty years.

It got so bad that Blendin made a deal with Bill Cipher to stop the teasing. This unfortunately led to Bill possesing Blendin to jumpstart Weirdmageddon.

Shout-Out
 Gravity Falls: Journal 3 / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: The settlers Dipper and Mabel met in "The Time Traveler's Pig" are Grady and Fertillia Mecc, their last name being a nod to the Minnesota Education Computing Corporation, the company that published The Oregon Trail. Some of the ghosts that appear in the book are clearly based off Casper, Slimer, Pinhead and Freddy Krueger. A hidden message on the Level 1 page says, "Can I keep you?" According to a cryptogram on the entry for Level 9 ghosts, Bill Cipher once told Ford that gum he likes is going to come back in style. Dipper points out the Summerween Trickster's similarity to No-Face from Spirited Away, talking about how he looks like "Mr. Faceless" from The Cranky Girl Who Did Chores in Spirit Town. Apparently in one dimension, Ford got a tattoo on his neck that said "HEY NOW, I'M AN ALL-STAR!" He is deeply embarrassed by it. A movie called "Return Backwards To The Past Again 3" is mentioned. Apparently, it's required viewing in the Time Police training. Mabel's entry on unicorns says they're supposed to "happily accompany you and a bumbling wizard companion on an animated PG adventure for the whole family" and "are always 'The Last One'". The Two-Dimensional Dimension is very clearly a nod to Flatland. Ford shows a drawing of one of the skeletons of the alien pilots that is a clear visual nod to the "space jockey" alien corpse found in Alien.

Series Continuity Error: According to the show, Soos' birthday is on July 13; the journal puts it on an undated entry between July 29 and August 22. The blacklight message for the mystic amulet states that using it whitens your hair, implying it to be the reason for Gideon's own white hair. However, when Dipper and Mabel traveled ten years into the past in "Blendin's Game", Gideon was seen as a baby, already possessing pure white hair. It is possible that it darkened as he aged, then was whitened again. In the show, it is shown that Dipper had his hat since the fourth grade but, in the book, he says he had it since the fifth grade.

Connected All Along: Wendy's father Manly Dan built Ford's lab, which later became the Mystery Shack, back when he was known as "'Boyish' Dan Corduroy". The Author's notes on ghosts in "Northwest Mansion Mystery" were also made while renting Dan's shack. Lampshaded by Ford's entry on Wendy. Why were there so many dead people to resurrect as zombies in front of the Mystery Shack in "Scary-oke"? Turns out they were the lumberjacks killed in the flood caused by the construction of the Northwest Manor detailed in "Northwest Mansion Mystery". That's how Ford got the land so cheap. Dipper finds a photo suggesting the lumberjack ghost from "Northwest Mansion Mystery" was a relative of Wendy's named "Archibald Corduroy".

What the Hell, Hero?: Fiddleford rightfully calls out Ford for his obsession and carelessness, but Ford dismisses him as "superstitious." As soon as Fiddleford is gone, the previous pages of praise for his partner's scientific acumen are replaced by a snappish description of Fiddleford as a useless jumped-up farmer. Ford gives this to himself after the Grand Finale, realizing how badly he messed up.

comment
Ship Tease: Dipper's first drawing of Wendy, before he properly realizes he's in love with her in "The Inconveniencing", notably has her smiling with her hair blown in a slight breeze, a few leaves trailing her around. Later, in an entry written after "Into the Bunker", he bemoans his "impossible crush on an impossible girl" next to a beautifully crafted picture of Wendy sitting in profile in front of a forest backdrop. When describing the events of "Northwest Mansion Mystery", Dipper mentions he was surprised at how decent a person Pacifica turned out to be. He then writes she "looks kind of okay in an evening dress, I guess". Then Dipper mentions that she smells nice and wonders if they had "some vibe going on", both of which are struck-out but still legible. Pacifica is also illustrated in the same angle, pose, and style as Wendy was earlier in the book. The blacklight edition includes a poem written by Mabel where she implies she noticed the aforementioned entry and advises Dipper to "start combing [his] hair".

Call-Forward: Several in the pre-portal half of the Journal. Much like Dipper would in "Tourist Trapped", Ford got some mosquito bites that spelled out an ominous message. Unfortunately, the "Soothquitos" suffer from Spoonerism, and he wrote off "BATCH OUT FOR WILL" as gibberish. Ford on the Bottomless Pit: "One day I may have the courage to leap into it out of curiosity. Although I might find myself on a plane of existence that I am not ready to handle (or just waste twenty-one minutes telling stories to myself to keep entertained)." On the entry on "The Great Flood" a coded message from Bill Cipher reads "DON'T CARE FOR PRESTON'S FACE / MIGHT FIX IT ONE DAY" In the entry on the Truth-Telling Teeth, Ford notes that he's 90% sure the mailman is a werewolf (a theory also floated by Soos in "Tourist Trapped"). Ford warns Fiddleford that he better not see a pig in the shack. Ford laments that the town is so gullible it could set up a savvy conman for life. Fiddleford runs into a young Blind Ivan at the carnival, who wants to forget a traumatic experience from earlier in his life. On hiding the Journals, Ford writes that he hid #2 at the elementary school; Surely no kid could be smart or cunning enough to find it, right? Dipper finds Stan's car license plate rather strange, as it spells "Stanley" instead of "Stanford"…

An encoded message on the UFO suggests that some tiny aliens escaped and live in town in Mobile Suit Humans. Remember Lefty, from "Dipper's Guide To the Unexplained"?

Page-Turn Surprise: After recounting the account of the portal test, the next two pages are nigh-covered with black-ink scrawling, drawings of eyes, and red text spelling out "MY MUSE WAS A MONSTER", "I WAS A PUPPET", and "F WAS RIGHT".

comment
Suspiciously Specific Denial: Human blood tastes bet-(rest of sentence scribbled out). I can only ASSUME human blood tastes better. note I have not sampled human blood. Not in the journal itself, but co-illustrator Andy Gonsalves' biographical blurb on the dust jacket states very explicitly that he is not secretly a reptilian alien disguised as a human.

comment
Laser-Guided Amnesia: We see the events that led McGucket to build the Memory Ray. It's implied that he used it even before starting the Society of the Blind Eye; Ford mentions seeing lumberjacks helping with the construction of the bunker, but when he questioned them later, they seemed to have forgotten everything, and Ford wrote his earlier sighting as a hallucination.

Conveniently Interrupted Document
 Gravity Falls: Journal 3 / int_f65c014c
comment
Conveniently Interrupted Document: Ford included a biography of himself in Journal 3. However, the illustration of himself had a large red blot over the face- and the 'Property of" tag, like in the show, had the name ripped off. Dipper also mentions, in his entry on "Dreamscaperers", that several pages concerning Bill were ripped out, implying that, in the throes of Sanity Slippage, Ford damaged the Journal. Apparently these pages were restored after Bill's defeat in "Weirdmageddon 3".
