Decided to watch Little Gift Shop of Horrors again and we (who have seen the episode) all remember Stan holding a Palantír with the Eye of Sauron peering through it?

Funny stuff right?

Consider this:

What if it’s more than just a visual gag?

What if Sauron has a reason to be looking around the Mystery Shack?

Is “the one ring” in Gravity Falls?

I know what you’re going to say: “NSG, why you ackin so cray-cray?”

Well you’re the one who’s cray-cray for not making this connection. Remember the episode Little Dipper when Mabel is trying to figure out what “magicky thing” made Dipper grow so quickly?

Again, I know what you are going to say: “NSG that was one joke, this proves nothing.”

Okay, sure maybe you would be right if this was just a one time joke.

Ladies and gentlemen of the court, please turn your attention to Exhibit B from Carpet Diem!

While we can argue about whether or not there is a “wizard” in the closet we cannot deny that there is in fact someone or something that is invisible in that closet!

Now for those familiar with Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, do you recall what happens to people wearing “the one ring”?

They become INVISIBLE!

I rest my case!
