Stan twin theory

Times my brother and I had theories that technically ended up being right but not in the way we expected

My brother’s:
Remember when the entire fandom was freaking out at the end of season one, we were freaking out because at the end of Gideon Rises we were all pretty sure Stan said “finally we have them all” when he had all three journals together, and we all had theories about who “we” was supposed to be. Well I told my brother about that when it was buzzing in the fandom, and asked him who he thought “we” was, and he responded (with hardly any hesitation) “The Pines family”
Obviously he meant just Dipper and Mabel at the time, but hey, here we are today and it turns out Stan was doing it for his family all along, my brother just didn’t know Ford was included

Mine:
From the second I first read about the Stan twin theory, there was one thing that always bugged me about it: the name Stanley. I kept thinking to myself “why would anyone name one kid Stanford, and the other Stanley? Even if they are twins?!” So I refused to believe Grunkle Stan’s brother’s name was Stanley.
Well, I was technically right, Grunkle Stan’s brother is NOT named Stanley

Gravity Falls Not What He Seems thought (SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS!! AM I CLEAR? SPOILERS!!!!)

So let’s say the government guys didn’t show up this episode, there was no conflict, and Stan was able to be right there at the portal when his brother came in without Soos or the twins there. (Like how he probably originally thought it would all happen)
…
What was he planning to do after he got his brother back? Was he gonna drag his brother upstairs and introduce him and the twins? Was he gonna make his brother stay in the basement and hide from Dipper and Mabel so they wouldn’t be able to ask questions? (That one might be hard considering the damage the portal caused). Was he gonna take his brother out of town to do stuff or make him wear a disguise of some kind? Will we ever even know? Will it even matter what he WOULD have done? SO MANY QUESTIONS!!

P.S.

sialise:

Stanford is the twin’s great uncle. Meaning he’s the brother of a hypothetical grandmother or grandfather. That’s what great uncle means. So the existence of a sibling is proven right there.

What proves it’s a male, is the name Pines. The only way for Dip and Mab to have the same last name as…

THANK YOU! Thank you for bringing that up, I’m with you, I sure that Stan has a brother for those exact same reasons, and people lose their minds on YouTube especially, claiming “Stanly” isn’t real, and is just  theory. Kinda ridiculous considering all that you just pointed out and I wish more people would talk about things like that, because its basically irrefutable evidence.  
One can say “Stanly” is only a theory, but no one can deny at this point that Stan has a brother. Do we know his name? No. Do we know if he was Stan’s twin? No. But he know he exists, or at least existed.

As for whether or not he will play any significance, well, as someone who’s been writing for years, and has goals to become a tv show animator, I have to question the use of having Stan being the twins’ great uncle, if the sibling (in this case a brother) played no significance to the story at all, especially since I believe Stan was based off of Alex’s grandfather not great uncle. Just seems like it would over complicate things if you ask me.
Course, about 95% of the fandom was convinced McGucket was the author and that theory ended up not being true, so who knows with this man lol

sorry if there’s any bad typos,  just got a new laptop and I’m not used to the keyboard yet

I have a gut feeling that this episode has a lot of evidence for the Stan Twin Theory. I can’t point anything out at the moment because I have to rewatch episodes to find that stuff and I gots school stuff :/
But I’m sure someone on here will find interesting things!
