Did anyone else realize how important hats were?

hufzigirl:

Every important character we see from the beginning of the show wears something on their head

Soos: baseball hat - symbolizes Soos going from handy man(child) to Mister Mystery and taking over the shack and his journey to get there 

Dipper: baseball hat with pine tree - eventually traded with Wendy to symbolize that he will always hold a special place in Wendy’s heart; hides the birthmark that originated his nickname and made him “special;” symbol used on the cipher wheel

Stan: fez - eventually given to Soos to symbolize giving over the Mystery Shack; symbolized his conman background and family; symbol used on the cipher wheel

Mabel: headband - constant throughout the show, but will always match with the original shooting star sweater that she wore and is her symbol on the cipher wheel

Wendy: lumberjack hat - symbolizes her family background; eventually traded with Dipper so that he’ll never forget Gravity Falls; plays more into the “Dipper is Alex Hirsch as a kid” because Alex commonly wears that type of hat as an adult

Bonus!

Bill: top hat - symbolizes that he’s an overdressed asshole
