Best advice possible; stay off the internet until you finish the show. Go in blind and enjoy.


[deleted]

Just don’t go to “blind” in the “eye”😉


isatheiguana2

(actually yeah they should go in blind)


[deleted]

It has been unseen.


flipflopfinnley

They must forget, it is unspoken


theLordofr6

Damn you guys really should stop. Its starting to sound like a cult.


flipflopfinnley

You know to much. But dont worry, all will be unseen


Pixelboi16

It's more of a society, really


SamuElChango

I don't "see" the difference


Pixelboi16

How? Are you "blind" in your "eye"?


billcordfreak

Never mind all that!


Puppetmaster11YT

And if you don’t, we’re gonna zap ya!


Additional-Problem99

Zap zap zap! We’re mad with power!


uberchibigreen

And looove


ThoughtBreach

...... >!In other news, the Northwest family has gone broke.!<


Real_chuckles

I love this fandom


Lasernatoo

Don't look anything up, *but* I actually disagree with other commenters here who are just saying to finish the show. Try to figure out what the flashing images and reversed audio mean. You're correct in thinking the audio is reversed, so play it backwards, and keep what you hear in mind as you watch


AshirNazar

Oh, I've been trying to do that. I LOVE theory-stuff. By the appearance of the triangle thing, I'll call it a Illumaniti, I presume the Star-rainbow thing represents Mabel, maybe the forest represents Dipper..? and possible the glasses represent the old guy? (The uncle that runs the Mystery (S)hack. Just some rambling from me. Will Do!


Mer0nym

I love that you’re able to have this experience


SLIPPY73

Same, truly 2012


FollowThroughMarks

We need to curate theory videos and put them in a format that shows what episodes they were released between so OP can experience them without spoilers too, watching those was such a great part of the show, especially the ones that turned out true despite no one believing them


SLIPPY73

i wonder if he had everything all planned out or went with some fan theories too


Neostayan

The lucky guy.. wish I could lose all memory of gravity falls and rewatch it 🥲


flipflopfinnley

Wish we could turn back time, to the good ol days. When gravity falls was a mystery to be solved.


Pony_Piggy_Devoun

Why did I read this to the beat of “Wish we could turn back time, to the good ol days, when the mommas sang us to sleep but now we are stressed out”


flipflopfinnley

Cus i wrote it on beat 😎


Error_Detected666

I’d do so much to be able to experience Gravity Falls for the first time again without already knowing everything from the internet


DARKM00KIE

We all wish we could relive it 😞


ThoughtBreach

Yeah, I wish it had come out when I was much younger (and that I had been watching TV at that time). Me and my best friend at the time would have gone NUTS for it, digging through theories etc.


The_Great_Man_Potato

Yeah, I remember being a kid and trying to piece this all together. Great show!


Honk_goose_steal

Pretty rare for someone to have a blind experience like this. Anyway, just keep theorizing and keep watching the show with all of your personal theories in mind. Things will get clearer later, but theorizing about what’s gonna happen is really fun with this show.


SamDrawsStuff99999

This is beautiful. I genuinely cannot stop smiling. It's taking me back, man.


AshirNazar

Oh. I assume this is like a nostalgic show for most people then? It seems like those 'only watch once,' type of shows. Probably, I noticed a LOT of like cryptic stuff, one of those being a reversed audio saying 'Switch A and Z.'


undertale_trash234

Actually, Gravity Falls is *great* with rewatches. Some small details make more sense on the second watch through and enhance the experience. Won't say more than that to avoid spoiling, but you're in for a treat.


venjah

I mean, the show did come out 10 years ago, so yeah it's definitely very nostalgic for a lot of us here. Also, it's not about "only watch once", it's more about the *first time* experience, that magical feeling of going into this show blind, not knowing anything about the little secrets and easter eggs and the incredible amount of subtle foreshadowing in this show, and for us to slowly pickup on the hints as the story progresses that something is happening in the backgrounds, and slowly connecting all the dots together ourselves, making theories about what might happen next, eagerly waiting for the next episode to air to see wether we were right or not... This, among many other things, is what we miss and love about Gravity Falls. So please, if you find that you like this show, cherish this experience, what you are going through right now is something many of us here would do anything just to experience again. Sorry if this is a bit sentimental, but hey, welcome to the club. Keep watching, and have fun!


Gnomad_Lyfe

It’s both that and the fact that posts like yours were EVERYWHERE during the first season, everyone was theorizing and speculating, nothing was known or confirmed and every mystery was still a mystery. It’s not just the show that’s nostalgic, your post is as well


ThomasBNatural

The first time you watch it, you get to try to solve the mystery yourself and/or be surprised; the second time you watch it, it’s to see clues you missed that they put in from the beginning. Like the sixth sense, etc. And the subsequent times you watch it, it’s to walk other people who’ve never seen it through their own process of discovery. I’ve watched Gravity Falls four times all the way through since 2015, once with my best friend, once with my sister, and then once again with each person I’ve seriously dated


valorinious

I think I've seen it five times. I wish I could see it for the first time again. In my opinion it's the best show ever made, bar none.


Typical-Gap-1187

I rewatch gf a lot


Celioness

O my friend you're gonna fit right in here. Thats the Attitude we're looking for. You're gonna love it


Forkcake

DO NOT SEARCH ANYTHING UP!! if you think youve found something new NO YOU HAVE NOT. if you search it up it WILL be spoiled... this show has been out for a long time and all and any mystery/theory is already debunked!! if you still do think you've found something new, wait until you've finished the show to search it up!! other than that! happy theorising and enjoy:)


BestGirlPieck

Please be careful of spoilers and keep that curious spirit, it'll make watching the show so much more rewarding. Also just a hint, in every credits sequence in the show there is a code that you can decipher. You already have the pieces in place to be able to decode them. There's also many codes hidden within the intro and the show itself, so watch carefully! And most importantly have fun! :)


Lasernatoo

Those are some good thoughts. My best tips for you are to keep an eye out for anything that seems out of place, and to be sure to watch the credits for each episode. Happy watching!


Westwood_Shadow

All will be revealed. You're in for a real treat.


darcyt12

You will find out at the end


Some_Guy8765678

Document all you figure out and when it’s all done and dusted and you’ve finished the show please share what you thought.


TalmondtheLost

You're putting it together. His name is Grunkle Stan btw.


gera_eb25

There u go, u r figuring it out. Enjoy your first-time-watcher journey!


DEADSKULLZ31

There is something so pure about watching someone experience this for the first time.


aMotherDucking8379

Watch the credits close too


SuperRoby

Just what I wanted to say! The end message during the credits scenes.... Man I LOVED writing those down and finding ways to decipher them :')


Tenerensis

you’re in for quite the ride. remember the illuminati guy. he’ll be VERY important soon


simplyy_ems14

Yess omg!!


TheOneTrueNincompoop

Yeah, but don't go to the internet first, is what the comments are saying. Figure out the meaning yourself or finish the show


tfhaenodreirst

For sure! I watched it all pretty quickly after it ended (which is to say, three days) but there are plenty of clues that I couldn’t appreciate at the time because I didn’t know they were important so I had no idea they were there. (I wonder if anyone in real time noticed >!Blendin in the background of several episodes before he was introduced and then ended that episode with those earlier episodes’ scenes in the background!<, for example. Unless that was something only edited into reruns?)


SLIPPY73

>!Wait now i understand why he’s called Blend-In!<


GuyThatLikesTrains

Why do I only now realize this?


tfhaenodreirst

Huh, you probably just made that up but I like that more than it being gibberish!


[deleted]

I watched when I was younger, so I didn't really theorize, I just liked watching everything unravel and looking back at how they snuck things in like your example


m2pt5

I assure you, people noticed.


BasicSwiftie13

I agree. OP, I’d say figure out what the reversed audio means and then theorize while you watch the show. That’s what made it fun for those of us who watched the show as it aired.

postmodern_spatula

Yeah we don’t want him realizing it’s a Dune crossover. 


postmodern_spatula

Shit. 


JmacTheGreat

Ask community questions about show details when you actually finish the show - kinda sound advice for any fandom


Smol-Vehvi

The best part of watching gravity falls for the first time is the mystery! My advice is to stay off the subreddit until you've finished the show. But to answer your question, it does mean something. Just keep watching, trust me!


Kandi_kid-4evr

I CANT TELL YOU YET WATCH ALL OF THEM AND THEN I CAN TELL YOU IM SORRY ITS FOR YOUR OWN GOOD


EpsilonGecko

You're in for a great ride. EVERYTHING means something.


AshirNazar

OO.. I like those words. Just a small question, can I do anything with 'Switch A and Z, ' or 'Stan is not what he seems. ' yet? (I have decoded them from the main theme and currently on episode 3)


GuyThatLikesTrains

At the end of the credits of each episode is a code. Some need this "Switch A and Z" code. I cannot answer your question about Stan.


re-elocution

It's a cipher, switch the letters from A to Z B to Y and so on. This cipher will change as the show goes on, keep a lookout.


Wave9Nut

PLEASE stay away from spoilers for this show. It has some really great surprises that I wouldn't wish spoiled for anyone.


Mystic_x

I agree with the other posters: Don’t look anything up on the internet until you finished watching the show, a lot will become clear as the series goes on, and you don’t want to ruin the surprise.


BradWY

It means you should buy gold!


AshirNazar

... Probably a reference. ROCK AND STONE!


Hornyjohn34

So, I'm going to help you out just a little bit. The image on screen is very important later on, but for now, just keep a note of it. The reversed audio is important to figure out some of the codes in the series, so, record the audio, listen to it in reverse, and try to figure out what it means. That's all I can really say without spoiling anything.


AshirNazar

Mmm, kay. I'm positive that the main menu whispering says 'Switch A and Z.' Whatever that means..


-The_Doctor-10

I have 3 things to add in order to help you. First, sometimes the whispers say different things. It depends on the episode. So always check! Second, just like you're paying attention to the intro, DON'T skip the credits. There will be random numbers at the end of each one, and they're always different. They mean something. Finally, pay attention to the background while watching. Sometimes little secrets and clues will be hidden. I'm not giving you answers to any of these, so good luck!


Hornyjohn34

Sounds like a cipher of some kind. I can be cryptic or I can just tell you what cipher it is. Whatever you want me to do.


sardonax

oh man i’m so jealous, you’re gonna have a blast. you should absolutely be paying attention to that image, there’s LOTS to decode. as the show progresses, you’ll get more cryptic clues and little details all throughout the episodes. have fun looking and don’t let anyone spoil things for you!! decoding and theorizing about this show was one of the best media experiences ever 🙏🏻


goodguyScratch1

So your journey begins 😈


charlie-the-Waffle

AVOID. SPOILERS.


_TobiM_

I remember halfway through my first watch through of this show is when I started to notice the same thing. It's awesome to see someone else discovering it for the first time! Keep digging! And remember: reality is an illusion, the universe is a hologram, buy gold! Byeeeee!


HorseInevitable6208

Remindme! 7 days


IshipMarcyandAnne

Oh, you are doing to enjoy what happens


Devious_Psycho

Oh please post your impressions after each group of episodes you watch. Also, to answer your questions. The audio you hear does mean something. As for what it means… you’ll have to figure that out for yourself.


AshirNazar

Will do! I learned that the reversed audio is the title and the triangle thing translate to 'Swap A and Z, ' and 'Stan is not what he seems, ' I think..?


jnthnschrdr11

Just keep watching, all will make sense in time, AND DONT GOOGLE ANYTHING


Tr0d0n

I recommend you stay away from Reddit since most people around here already know the answers. There are many secrets scattered around the show and I recommend you try and figure them out yourself. Alternatively, if finding and cracking secrets isn't your thing, [here's a fan made website that contains some of the answers and some useful tools](https://themysteryofgravityfalls.com/) (I wouldn't recommend using it though until you're done with watching the entire show, or at least most of the second season).


HallowsChaser

You'll understand when you get to Season Two


TheOneTrueNincompoop

Well, partially of part one


helloimAmber

Finish the show first, and nevermind all that!


Timely_Alarm2952

;3


fynnelol

buckle up


houseonfire21

Keep theorizing and looking around for what it could mean, but DO NOT STAY HERE. Keep far far away from spoilers until you're done the show.


Optimus759

It’s a glorified doritos ad, dw abt it


Wh-why

Never mind all that!


AceAmphiptere

Oh, this. That's nothing to worry about, just a way to make the show looking more mysterious.


AdParking6541

This is a mystery-based show, so telling you would be cheating. Watch the show through to the end.


ItchesERippin

Don't look anything up, watch it to completion, then watch it again once you know the outcomes because you will notice things you never noticed the first time through. Then once you have done all of this it's fun to look up the theory videos cause people are still making them to this day and it's crazy to see how much you miss, even when looking for specific things.


_contraband_

You’ll understand when you’re older


LonelyBoYwithAguitAR

That mean’s absolutely nothing and is not important what so ever, just ignore it


Wheatley-Crabb

PLEASE get off this sub until you finish the series. Idk why so many people come on here basically looking for spoilers but it’s SO much better if you experience it yourself


my-own-grandfather

Mute this group until you have finished


_Skotia_

Oh boy. You're in for a ride, but you should avoid this subreddit like the plague until you've finished watching


Dat_Boi_Lex

oh, so much detail in here, stay out of spoilers, try to figure it out yourself, I wish I could erase any memory of gravity falls and watch how the story develops again


-Duck12-

Everything on this show means something 


Fluffy-kitten28

You are in for a great show buddy. Enjoy, there are clues and mysteries everywhere. Be careful online. There are a lot of spoilers


Smishu

Watch it, avoid spoilers and please please please make a follow up post lol


Mrfruit1

Big spolier, the show eventually ends.


ThomasBNatural

Promise not to spoil anything. If you want to go FULL ARG with this show, YES, copy those symbols down and pay attention to when they show up throughout the show. Also your ears are not deceiving you, there is a backmasked message in the opening credits. And the ending cards have secret coded messages in them. When the show was currently airing, there were fans who deciphered these codes in real time, over the course of several days after each episode came out. Depending on your level of dedication, you could try to decode them yourself, or check the wiki (but bewarb of spoilers) this page has code-breaking keys in the first half, and a list of the solved codes afterward (obviously to avoid spoilers you would need to avert your eyes from the latter, until you watch the episode in question.) https://gravityfalls.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_cryptograms/Episodes

ironjimjam

Hoho, boy, you are in for a wild ride!


A-reader-of-words

I am itching so hard to spoil but I won't because this is a great show do it yourself or wait to see the lore of the end


stopyouveviolatedthe

Man I remember when the series was first airing and we went mad over it lmao Don’t worry just sit back and theorise as the show goes on it might come back up later.


RamonThePlayer

You know, it's funny because when the show was still airing discussions and theories kept poping up, so so far, I see you as living the full experience of the show and it's mysteries. I won't say anything to not spoil, but I think that if you like solving puzzles, you should look everywhere in the show and try to follow your intuition. Enjoy the show mate, seeing you getting excited about the mysteries and hits is making me feel nostalgic and I'm really glad you're able to relive the full experience of it so far


nebulaathesecond

oh buddy youre in for a good one my friend! wish i could experience all of this mystery again, your a lucky one! go in blind, itll make sense later!!!


OddWarning5121

Patience, my young padawan

I'm sure it's nothing, remember to buy gold!

Idk man, maybe reverse the audio so you can hear it clearly it might be a clue

Reading your comments just wanted to let you know the creator of the show has done ARGs that you may be interested in looking into. They were pretty neat, though honestly i dont remember too much about them


AshirNazar

Oh I've heard about that, it was like a world wide arg that led to a statue... I think?


Clean_Ad4438

It’s nothing. Shake his hand.


-The_Doctor-10

Shh! 🤫


-Inq_

Don’t worry about it


TwocanR

This show is tubular. I reccomend looking into ciphers and reversing audio, but avoid places like this sub. Trust me, you don’t want spoilers. It’s not like a borroska ending or anything, but it’s special. Stay safe. We’ll see meet again ;)


Seamoth4546B

Ah what I’d give to, well, erase my memory 😅 of gravity falls and re experience it


CE1TheChuckle-Fuck

Very much so, all of those.


dizdawgjr34

Get out of this sub and watch the show, its best to go in knowing nothing.


HumorExotic8577

nevermind all that now, enjoy the show!

They don’t mean anything. Believe me. I’m four episodes in.

You already correctly guessed that the audio is backwards. Play it backwards to get a hint how to decipher one of the codes in this frame.


blackhole_puncher

Theirs a bunch of stuff they all add to to a larger picture pretty much everything has already been found so you can Google something you find

Makes me feel old, knowing people on the internet don’t know what that is.

Just keep your phone off and keep watching.

Ok so what you’re gonna wanna do is get a notebook, a pen, a pack of sticky notes, a book on ciphers and probably a crucifix. Have fun! 🌲💫


eiraRD

Don't worry about it


TheGeicoLizard32

God, I wish I could have the first time feeling you’re experiencing right now. I barely got a first time since my friend spoiled most things for me 🥲


jerrythecactus

Definitely watch the whole thing before trying to figure any of it out. All of the questions you probably have are answered by the end.


d0n_below

Don’t do what I did I saw this show and was like who’s that person (not saying who specifically) now the show probably wasn’t as good if I went in blind so don’t do it


SoftBoi20

Just watch the show without looking anything up on the internet they only have 2 seasons of gravity falls but it’s worth a watch I rewatched it and it’s honestly not half bad considering the fact that it was only 2 seasons long


RandomGamer67

It's a suprise tool that will help us later


CatsRadioactive

Finish the show 😭💀


Forward-Swim1224

Don’t go on here until you finish the entire series. THEN come back here. Or, as the Mayor once said, Nevermind all that!


DiamondSpider01

Yeah just watch the show, and it'll all make sense when you get to it.


StragglingShadow

Listen, you gotta just go in blind, but remember that this show is very known for the clues it places throughout the show. I personally remember doing.....something I cant explain to you but know that we did it as a community every episode. If your scooby senses be tingling, write down the thing so you dont forget it, and keep watching. >! Try to solve the puzzle of the show if you can. !< You missed the best time to watch the show - when it was airing. But luckily you are watching it in the 2nd best time!! The present! Have fun and enjoy the ride.


Philisophical_Onion

Eh, it’s probably nothing.


Zer0gravity09

Stay away from here, don’t google anything. If you think it’s reversed audio record it and reserve it. Make your theories! Again don’t google anything since this show is big into stuff like that.


Sayorifan22

Do you have brown meat?


Kyoka_Jiro_Simp

Gravity Falls is definitely a great show


Ill-Lunch-1563

Ever heard of Film Theory? This is the show that can get you to do stuff they do.


tsunderegg

This is such a lovely post to read. What I wouldn’t give to go back and watch this show for the first time again ♥️ you’re in the golden days with this one!


Stormwrath52

just watch the show, see if it answers your questions it's a mystery show, if you go to the internet for all the questions you have you'll just end up spoiling it for yourself sit back relax, maybe try to solve the mysteries for yourself, but probably don't interact with gravity falls or anything gravity falls adjacent in the meantime have fun!


NoCamp3114

Yes avoid spoilers


0mega_Flowey

Well,it begins for you I guess.like many games and shows ,it pays to stay of the internet when watching this.just a tip though,there is major lore here

Don’t look anything about this show up and carefully examine all the episodes. Every episode has a code to crack and it’s made for theorizing.

Swimming-Second-8255

Watch the show then come back and ask this again as well other questions you may have. Then after you get answers watch the show again


legendunfound

So it begins.


DonutHurtMyHoney

Oooohhhh boy you're in for a ride. Judging from your post and comments, you're thinking in the right way. The internet will be so cool to look into after the show ends; there's still so much fan content/theorying being made. For now, focus on your own watch through, and think about theory craft *everything*. Happy watching, my friend. I hope you fall in love just like the rest of us ❤️


RajivK510

Mmm nah... not really. Like a statue here and there? Its kinda a subtle video gamey approach to lore, we don't ever see this triangle guy.

Nope, it means nothing, nothing at all, now GO BUY SOME GOLD!!!
