Dipper and Wendy from Gravity Falls are just Ted and Audrey from The Lorax

I have a theory about the lorax

Ted is The Onceler’s Father (Theory)

     Ted? The Onceler’s father? Ridiculous! But perhaps this theory isn’t as far-fetched as it sounds. I’ve analyzed The Lorax (2012) for evidence to support this theory, and I think once you’ve seen the evidence for yourself, you’ll agree that this is actually a possibility.

     Now, of course one hole in this theory would be that Ted is a twelve year old boy, while The Onceler is an elderly man, at this point in the movie. However, this isn’t a problem, if you consider time travel as a possibility. Which I do. Keep this in mind as you read on. Let’s get into actual evidence.

     Let’s start with The Onceler’s physical appearance.

          You can see some similarities between Ted, and The Onceler. The dark hair, for one thing. The Onceler’s nose is round, similar to Ted’s, though slightly upturned like his mother, Isabella. The Onceler’s face is distinctly round than Ted’s, as well as Isabella’s. But not unlike Ted’s mother.

     The Onceler’s eye color however, is blue, unlike Ted’s. Unfortunately, it was unclear to me what Isabella’s eye color was.

There’s also some vaguely similar personality traits between the two.

     But that aside for now, let’s move on to other, more concrete evidence.

     We never hear The Onceler’s last name, as he’s only ever referred to as “The Onceler” or, by his mother, “Oncie”, meaning there’s nothing saying it couldn’t be “Wiggins” which is Ted’s last name.

     We also never see The Onceler’s father. His mother, Isabella? Yes. His elder brother’s, Bret, and Chet? Yes. His Uncle Ubb? Yes. His Aunt Grizelda? Yes. But his father? No. Unless, we have.

     Now, a few bits that first into this theory only work if you assume that The Onceler knows some of what happened in his father’s past, but not all of it. I doubt that knowing how not having the truffula trees affected the world, The Onceler would go out, and chop them all down.

     But if he only knew a portion of the story, knew that Ted did something important, did something that changed the world for the better, he doesn’t even have to know that it had to do with the truffula trees, this could make sense.

     There are things he knows that, I assume, he wouldn’t know. Not unless he’s heard it from somewhere.

     Correctly assuming why Ted is looking to learn about trees - To impress Audrey, by granting her greatest desire - perhaps because he’s heard about Ted’s former crush on/relationship with her. He also seems to instantly recognize, and know what the truffula trees are called, something that doesn't make complete sense - at least in my opinion - unless, again, he was told of them at some point in his life.

      Another thing to consider is The Onceler’s brief speech directed at Ted near the climax of the film “I know it may seem small, and insignificant but it’s not about what it is, it’s about what it can become. That’s not just a seed, anymore than you’re just a boy.” Again, implying that The Onceler knows Ted has changed the world for the better.

     Shortly after that, “I won’t let you down.” Ted says, “I know.” Says The Onceler. And he does know.

     At an earlier point in the movie, when The Onceler returns to his home after failing several times to sell his first thneed, he states that it “Turns out it’s ahead of its time” And this is a very literally true statement, given that the Onceler traveled far in the past in an attempt to change the world like his father.

     These are my main supporting points for this theory, however I have a handful of points that could make sense with or strengthen this theory while not necessarily being indicative of this.

     Those points being:

• Both Ted, and The Onceler changed the world. One for the better, the other for the worse respectively. An interesting parallel

• They also both wear striped pieces of clothing, and top hats at some point during the film, implying The Onceler possibly takes inspiration from his father when it comes to fashion.

• Admittedly less compelling than most other points, is that The Onceler carries with him an electric guitar, which seems like an unfitting instrument to have considering his previously rural lifestyle.

• And of course, what started it all, while it’s more likely that The Onceler is indeed saying “Thank you, Ted.” near the end of the song Let it Grow, it doesn’t sound entirely unlike “Thank you, Dad.”

     Given the overwhelming evidence, I think you will agree with me that it is more than likely, that The Onceler is actually Ted’s son from the future, who time traveled far into the past, likely in an attempt to make a name for himself, though the reasons he chose to make a name for himself in the past, and live out the rest of his days there, rather than in his present, is unclear.

Onceler X F!reader

MAIN STORY MASTERLIST

(also posted on Wattpad: @-beachboy !)

1. Fresh Start

It was a quiet ride to truffula forest, "Sorry about my mother back there.." Onceler apologized for his mother's actions. You wanted to smack him in the face for apologizing for his mother's behaviors, but you couldn't do that. His mother never liked you either, maybe she was scared of her son getting all successful and you stealing it- like you'd ever steal anything. "It's fine, Isabella needs to grow up and see that we both hold success in our future!" you place an arm around his, right arm up in the air, "Thneeds and Candyality!" He certainly was glad someone had trust in him. "Yeah, exactly!" Onceler responds and you grab both of yours blueprints from the back to look over them.

...

     "Are we there yet?" You groan while laying in the back. No response, "Oncie- I asked are we there-" siting up straight you see the view that you're in. All of the trees with pink and orange hues sway in the wind, you couldn't believe your eyes. "They're all, something alright..." your crus- friend speaks aloud. "Yeah!" You get out of the wagon and so does he.

     "Good job, Mellie..." you hand the mule a carrot while your friend watches. "Why are you staring at me like that! He needs to be given another treat!" "You're gonna make him gain weight that he doesn't need!" Once yells from the back. You roll your eyes and feed the mule another carrot, he deserves it after having to deal with the two of y'all this whole trip.

...

The house was pulled out and held the two of you perfectly fine, until it came to the bed situation. There was only one.

     "It's fine we can share no big deal!" Once said as you tried to hold in your excitement. "Better than when then the bar-bo-loots tried attacking us..." you mumbled while bringing your luggage inside. "Wait what?" Once yelled out, no response. Sighing, you sit on the bed wishing he was right next to you. God that stupid crush of yours was something dumb, you didn't mean to have it- it just happened? Growing up with the guy you saw how tall he was compared to other kids and how he had a kind heart to...some people?

Outside you can hear Once cutting down a tree which means he's starting to make more thneeds. From one of the windows you can see him dragging the tree, damn was he strong. He turned to see you staring at him, sent a smile your way that you returned back. You got off of the bed and took out your plans for your idea, Candyality.

The idea was basically a candy brand; lollipops, marshmallows, chocolate you name it! Your sweet tooth showed which Onceler would crack a joke about sometimes.

As you're going through your plans you heard bickering outside, Oncie and another man? Standing up you start to see a part of the house falling inward which causes you to scream while running out the door.

...

"What the hell was that?" The Lorax asks, Once almost yells at him again. "That was Y/N!" You hear the two yelling at each other from the back and you walk around to see the commotion.

"That damn wall almost fell onto me! Once, I thought you tied the foundation down-" you're cut off by seeing the short orange figure. "Who's this?" You point in confusion, the figure is appalled by finger pointing. "He calls him self the Lorax, he speaks for the trees." Once mocks. You bend over to see the man, "What an interesting species..." "Why didn't you tell me you had your girlfriend in there! I would never hurt a woman!" Lorax points at you, your eyes in shock. "Woah woah woah!" The two of you say in sync, "We're just friends!" Once states placing a hand on your shoulder. You nodded replying yet the Lorax sees otherwise.

"This man right here tried hammering pipsqueak into the ground!" You look at Once with frowned eyebrows, he doesn't like the sense of judgment coming from you. "Woah woah! You tied him to it!" he defends himself, "I would never hit this little guy! You however, I would gladly pound you and your mustache into the ground!" You couldn't help but giggle, he could never hold his temper. "For shame..." Lorax states, the other animals agree with him. "Look here I'm gonna chop as many trees I need to and you can't stop me!" You realized how bad this may start to get, "And replant them to help the forest stay as it is!" You lean onto Once's side, "Yeah!- what?" He replies.

"Yes! If we cut down trees we have to replant the same amount to keep the balance, and cut only a certain amount each time!" The Lorax becomes skeptical of this idea, but at least he keeps his trees. "I've done research and truffula trees only take 10 years to grow compared to any other tree that takes about 20!" Once is confused, "Are you on his side or mine?" he points to the orange man with his hammer. "Both." you state placing a hand on his shoulder with a mocking smile, you walk over to the Lorax.

"Believe me, I'll help replant them, I can see how much they mean to you." He still seems hesitant, crossing his arms you stand up and drag Once inside to have a talk with him.

...

Closing the door as you're about to have serious discussion with him, he yelps. "Oh what is it now? A spider again- Woah!" You turn around to see Lorax on the desk. "You've left me no choice..." he falls onto the ground, "If you do not replant those trees, all the forces of nature will be released upon you!" Once seems scared yet you're just confused. "You have been warned..." finally ending his monologue. You grab the door to open it for him as he struggled. "You have been warned..." closing it you turned back to Once. "Pound him and his mustache into the ground, really?" He places his hands into the air, "What else was I gonna say?!" You let out a small laugh and go over to the fridge, "What do ya' wanna eat?" You ask leaning and grabbing some stuff out.

...

"It was one tree, Y/N," Once sits down on the bed with his food stuffed mouth, "One tree! Not like I'm gonna cause chaos..." That's what you were most worried about, if it all went down hill. "Don't worry, if I'm by your side nothing will go wrong." Sitting by his side you eat some spaghetti, "And if you help me with my project as well!" Giving him a soft punch on the arm he looks back at you, "I'm glad to have someone like you by my side, you keep all of that hope inside of me..." You chuckle and eat, "Okay no need to get all sappy now..".
