"Stan's Fez" is the topic of the first meeting of the Royal Order of the Holy Mackerel.
Plot[]
Douglas MacKrell connects Grunkle Stan's mysterious fez to the real world and what it means.
Overview[]
As regular Gravity Falls watchers know, the symbol on Grunkle Stan's fez changes slightly between the episodes Boss Mabel and Bottomless Pit. The change comes after a short hiatus of the show, and could easily be chalked up to both physical damage to the fez itself and a revamping of the show's design post hiatus - but I believe there's more to it than that.
The symbol directly connects to the name of the secret society Stan is a part of - The Royal Order of the Holy Mackerel. It's clearly a fish with an enormous mouth that's about to eat something.
Is this change of symbols a reflection of the advancement of the coming apocalypse they talk about in Gravity Falls? Is this change of symbol because of a raise of rank within the Royal Order of the Holy Mackerel? What is that fish about to eat in the second symbol?
