#I also believe home is helping Poppy in some way...

[car-o-line]

REQUEST ALERT!! What about Doey with a player who is a perfectionist?(Gets hard on themselves when they mess up.) ( I’M 100% SERIOUS WHEN I SAY THIS, BUT I AM NOT TRYING TO ENCOURAGE THIS BEHAVIOR! THIS IS A WAY TO SHOW PEOPLE THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO GO THROUGH THIS! Which it makes me sad :( ) sincerely, a person named Aiden!!

I REMEMBER YOU AIDEN😈😈😈😈 ALSO LIKE WHAT AIDEN SAID THIS IS NOT ENCOURAGING THIS BEHAVIOR I LOVE YOU GUYS STAY SAFE<3333

Doey with a reader who is a perfectionist

Big dough man was, well obviously learned about you from Poppy. She told him how perfect you were. How you did everything perfectly and without flaw.

He was quite surprised but also intrigued by you because Poppy never really gave him such a high stander for anyone in the facility.

He started searching for you, and eventually found you trying to escape from Yarnaby. He let you know of his presence quietly and lit a small fire to drive Yarnabys attention away from you so you could escape without the possibility of being harmed.

Once you finally came into contact with him he acted as he normally did, he still couldn’t trust you all that much but he wanted to believe in Poppy, believe her words that you truly were here to help(you weren’t, you just wanted to go home😐)

After some 1 on 1 time with you he started to notice the oddities about you as a person. How you wouldn’t let anything within your path be dirty, wiping even the smallest piece of dust off a toy whose life was long gone already. Or, how you’d restart a whole puzzle if you made a fixable mistake in the midst of it.

He thought your way of doing things was odd, I mean. He doesn’t believe making sure the chain is connected to the door perfectly is necessary. He thinks a lot of the things you do are unnecessary actually-

But the souls inside the toy just believed that those little habits were just small quirks about you.

“Safe Haven is right ahead..I’ll have Kissy show you around.”

“🙂, 😐, 😦, 😧, 😬.”

(that was you when you saw Safe Havens state)

He noticed your reaction and gave a playful giggle towards it, mentioning how it wasn’t the cleanest because he didn’t have the time TO clean it.

You immediately offered to do it for him, it wasn’t that you were upset or angry with him, it’s just that you yourself couldn’t stay in a place so messy without wanting to bang your head against a wall.

He denied, of course. He didn’t want you cleaning after him and the others but you insisted. So instead of putting more attention to that subject, he switched it and brought you to Poppy where she’d speak more on what the plan was. But before she gives you more tasks to do, Doey suggests that you take a rest. “You’ve been working too hard and you’ll get too tired to do anything else,” he’d say.

Poppy, thankfully, was fond of that idea as well. She also told Doey it’d be best for everyone in Safe Haven to rest too(something they can finally agree on💀)

You were hesitant because since you’re down here already instead of where you’re actually supposed to be to be- cough cough home cough cough chapter 2 ending- and you just wanted to get all this mess fixed up as soon as possible.

But you had really no choice on the matter, you were afraid of going out in the danger again without a partner to go with. So just following what Poppy and Doey say are you best option.

Though while everyone was resting, you just couldn’t seem to do so yourself. You just couldn’t fall asleep somewhere so meet, not when someone could actually do something about it and clean it.

So that’s what you did, you spent the whole night cleaning and throwing trash away to the best of your ability. Even if something seemed impossible to clean because of how dirty it was you didn’t give up because it just felt wrongly to leave something imperfect.

You even took the time to wipe off any and all dirt off of most of the sleeping toys. Gently using a wet clothing to get them clean again.

Once everyone awoke the toys were pleasantly surprised to be cleaned, like they just took a “shower” but as a toy.

Doey was actually quite saddened by what you did, don’t get him wrong though. He appreciates it truly, but the result was that he didn’t get to help you and that you didn’t get a wink of sleep.

Matthew was the most worried about your habit of making sure everything’s perfect. He’d remind you that even if the thing wasn’t flawless that it could still serve its purpose. He doesn’t like when you insist on working on something past evening just because you don’t think it’s good enough, he doesn’t like that you don’t you’re good enough. In the end he’s try his best to reassure you that you’re doing the best you can in this situation, and that’s all that matters.

Kevin thinks your mindset is just plan unnecessary. Like, why are you brushing kissy fur until she looks brand new? She’ll get dirty anyway. What’s the point? He doesn’t see why you do the things you do, but once he gets slightly closer with you, he starts to get used to it. He wouldn’t find that concerning because he hasn’t talked to many actual people since he got transferred to Doey. He wouldn’t know what’s concerning and what’s not unless you were just psychotic. Which, you weren’t(maybe, who knows🥳)

Jack is more playful about the whole thing tbh. He thinks it’s funny how you rush around to make sure everything is in order. But he gets somewhat whiny when he asks you to draw a picture of Doey or Poppy and you throw a hissy fit because you drew an imperfect circle for the head, or it just doesn’t look like the Mona Lisa. He giggles when that happens, he doesn’t mean to but when you actually get really upset he worry’s and holds you hand, then tells you that you did good.

New yandere poppy playtime idea.

(ALL OF THE CHARACTERS IN HERE ARE ALL STRICTLY PLATONIC!!)

Hear me out guys. This au I kinda wanna do is called forgotten memories. (I'm not good with names.)

What if for this au, y/n is kinda like a younger y/n like now for this is in their mid teens y/n when coming back to playtime co, y/n use to be a orphan in the playtime co playcare and was going to be new experiment of the Bigger Bodies Initiative but was actually able to kinda sneak their way out to their parents who adopted them and was one who successfully escaped from playcare and was able to find their parents and go to their new home. I do imagine Harley Sawyer being actually furious yet curious how y/n was able to do easily get to their adopted parents and get out the facility without being caught by a guard or even any employees. But after all those years, y/n only comes back because of a stupid dare by bully (might change that later) and was locked into the factory by them as the bully only wanted to scare y/n for fun but this only had y/n end up going deeper into the factory to try and find a alternative exit.

As in this au y/n was the kinda youngest in the playcare so they met everyone who had become experiments for the bigger bodies initiative as they refriended them but y/n doesn't remember this place well as they were as a kid when being adopted so they just try to go through this factory by their fuzzy memories of this place. But the toys remember them as all they see y/n as is the small kid from playcare who always was a joy to be around, the employees like them as y/n tried to always be cheerful and polite similar to Mathew in a sense (also kinda like putt putt from humongous games. That's the kinda personality I'm sorta going for?) and y/n is still kind to them even after trying to kill y/n in the first place. Harley Sawyer does think y/n is like some kind of hope for sanity for the toys due to basically y/n being their childhood friend yet still treating them with such kindness.

Doey especially is excited to y/n as well as dogday. (also this au again has the smiling critters alive cause I love them bro. And some other toys who I like and don't why as much spotlight.) y/n helps dogday basically escape death and helps other toys to the safe haven (after making them sane again and not violent anymore) but y/n is kinda sour to poppy. They believe that what she is doing is right but now y/n doesn't know If they can really trust her anymore. Plus after basically having to escape near death experiences so many times it has y/n sometimes think that poppy doesn't care about them just about her plan and to just have y/n alive is all. But y/n finds a way out that could get everyone out of the factory and after they do, y/n is able to call their parents at a pay phone found still working at the front gate entrance to have y/n's parents pick them up and the toys.

And y/n's parents let the toys stay at the house as well their child goes missing and comes back with toys who are alive and then has to be explained how these toys were kinda turn into these things so yeah. Y/n's parents decided it better just to get y/n home safely cause holy shit they panicked when y/n wasn't home for so long and being home for two days had they genuinely believe their child was actually gone but now their safe and hopefully stays that way but they'll deal with the toys getting situated later.

(I'm still doing some new home sweet home au stuff and other things come soon so watch out for that but I though if this idea and hopefully it's not to weird. But for now that's it for my yap session today. If you want more please don't be shy and request any ideas for stories or y/n's you have. Please stay safe and drink water!)

I realized I know why Harley strikes me as honest despite that he told us in QnA that he manipulates us with his words.

It's because he believes in things he says. Ofc he's biased but what he told us about Poppy is what he actually believes to be true that she like her father is a backstabber.

And you know we can't call it a manipulation if a person believes in the things they say to us.

Ofc Harley is full of himself and he sees himself above everyone else.

But there's something about him that doesn't allow me to say with 100% certainty that he's a narcissit like many people seems to believe so.

Cause honestly I think that the only person Harley is lying to is he himself.

He didn't even say that he hates Elliot the most even though I bet everyone thought so. And yet.

And he was shocked by Dr White's betrayal. He said that he thought that he saw his vision.

And even if he hates Leith the most he said that he's two-faced and a backstabber.

So do you want to tell me sir that at some point you thought that you could trust any of those two?

Even if you already had trust issues after Elliot backstabbed you?

Idk I'm probably grasping at straws but Sawyer seems like he's looking for any form of connection but because he is the way he is everyone denies him.

He even tried to get us to understand him. But why?

I get it. He was trying to manipulate us.

But there was something in his answers in QnA.

I just can't shake off the feeling that Sawyer seems to act like a kid. As if he just stuck at one point in time and never actually grew up.

And the fact that he's so distanced and almost detached emotionally from his past - childhood especially - I'm pretty sure that he went through something traumatic that he represses and is socially and emotionally stunted.

He still displays sociopathic/psychopatic and narcissitic traits but he seems plenty delusional.

Not only in grandiose way that he has a mission to find immortality and lead humanity into the future.

But also in a way were he still expects that he'll finally find understanding. Despite his paranoia and that Elliot betrayed him and that his coworkers used to laugh at his fears of world ending soon he still thought that someone saw his vision. He still was surprised that someone betrayed him.

Despite that he projects his trauma on everyone around him he still felt that he could trust someone at least about work and then was shocked at the betrayal.

He's biased as hell but he's honest.

And I think that he was still afraid of dying. Is it because he's so obsessed with himself? Maybe. But a part of me thinks that this is something that goes deeper. This fear is a core part of him hence his paranoia about world end.

And I believe it's due to his childhood trauma. Whatever his parents did to him caused him to be like that.

And I believe that Elliot kicking him out of YGP hurt so much also and maybe even mainly because he had to go back home. He wrote that he thought that Elliot cared.

This is something that stood out to me. Cared about what?

Because lines like "I thought he understand" and "nobody understands" are just your really simple lines of someone who will soon become a villain.

But "I thought he cared" it reveals to us that Sawyer liked Elliot. It's a line that comes from the kid that yearns for connection. That yearns for care and love that he never received at home.

I feel really bad for him.

He was betrayed so many times and he hoped for something still...

That's why he works as the main antagonist of horror franchise. Cause he's a tragic character that is so broken that he turned into a monster and he'll torment everyone by projecting his trauma and hurt.

And it's also tragic because he would never change because no one would help him because he's done so many awful shit.

I love him <3

[nobodysdaydreams]

I have a theory about Wicked Part 2 and what they are going to add to it, and why it's going to add so much to the movie.

I think they are going to add Dorothy's POV.

In the musical, she's mentioned, but Dorothy never appears on stage. We never know her POV or how much she knew about the witches, Fiyero, Boq, the lion, or what was actually going on in Wicked beyond the Wizard of Oz plot. But in the Wicked two trailers, we see scenes of Dorothy and those scenes are shot as if from the Wizard of Oz, not the traditional Wicked musical, in which Dorothy's character is only briefly mentioned or shown as a shadow. Which means we're going to get to see her story this time!

However, if I was going to include Dorothy's POV for Wicked, I don't think it would be anything like the Wizard of Oz, for a few clear reasons:

Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz is a perceptive and animated child and unless they plan on erasing that aspect of her character, she is not going to go home from Oz at the end of the Wicked movie with the same beliefs as the Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz. She sees the Wizard is a fraud and calls him out just like Elphaba does. Besides this, there is no way she would just not pick up on the fact that Galinda, the dead witch, Boq, Fiyero, Elphaba, and the lion have a deeper history together than meets the eye for the entire trip.

This one might sound stupid, but trust me, it's important: Toto as a character. Here me out. In the Wizard of Oz, Dorothy's distress in the real world is centered around a mean lady trying to drown her dog and the Witch of the West tries to do the same in Oz. However, in this version, Elphaba's whole thing is animal rights. She'd probably be horrified that Toto can't talk or Dorothy would be surprised and delighted to find that in this world, Toto can talk depending on what they decide to do with the dog. And if Dorothy comes to this world distressed about a lady trying to kill her poor dog, Elphaba would surely empathize. There might even be a misunderstanding between them if Elphaba believes Dorothy is working for the Wizard and Toto is a dog that needs rescuing.

So how does this change things?

There are a number of wonderful options.

The most obvious one is that we could see Dorothy put together and discover the story of Boq, Nessarose, Galinda, Elphaba, Fiyero, and the Wizard. She and the rest of the gang would formulate a plan to help Elphaba fake her death to save her from the people of Oz and the Wizard.

Within that narrative, we could see Elphaba enchanting the sleeping poppies to stop them from getting to the Wizard with the goal of protecting them from the Wizard (rather than to stop them from getting home). In Act 2 of Wicked, the Wizard again tries to form an alliance with Elphaba but Elphaba rejects his offer when she discovers what he's done to her Animal friends. It's possible that Elphaba believes the Wizard is trying to use Dorothy too and is trying to protect her from the same fate.

We could also see conversations between Dorothy and Fiyero about Elphaba (and there are many AO3 fics that have been going with that concept. I see y'all, thank you for doing the Lord's work 🙏🏻) and possibly some conversations between Dorothy and Boq since they'll be traveling together and we don't really get to hear about Boq's ending in the musical. I think the last we see of Boq is that he's angry at Elphaba for his condition and rallying crowds against her, but with all that traveling time and secrets coming out, I could see him getting, I don't know if I'd call it a "redemption arc" per say, but finding his heart again (a real one). Additionally, conversations between Dorothy and the lion about how Elphaba saved him would be nice too. Even if the lion had learned to blame Elphaba for what happened to him, I'm sure Dorothy would be quick to correct him once she discovered the full truth.

But my favorite, my absolute favorite and darkest possibility is the interactions that Dorothy can have with the Wizard. In the Wizard of Oz, she exposes him as a fraud, but in the Wicked movie, he's much worse than that, and I can totally see Dorothy being the one to point that out to him. Why?

First of all, Dorothy is not from Oz. Most people there would never question the Wizard, but if he's so powerful and generous, why is he sending an innocent little girl and three down-on-their-luck guys to go murder his dangerous enemy? That right there is a red flag, and again, if they don't change Dorothy's character, she's going to be a very honest child and comment on how strange this is.

Second of all, if anything I speculated above is true and Dorothy realizes this the Wizard is an animal abuser who vilified an innocent woman, she's going to be very angry at the Wizard, and rightfully so (I hope Toto bites him).

Third of all, and here's where it gets good: in the musical Wicked, the Wizard discovers he is Elphaba's father at the very end because of the bottle Galinda has. Dorothy is not on stage for that because she's not in the main cast of the musical, only mentioned by the other characters, but what if she was? What if she's the one that discovers the connection? What if she calls him out the exact same way Elphaba did after the Wizard gave his little "I always wanted to be a father" speech?

What if the Wizard had a little animal-loving girl who reminds him so much of the daughter he just sent to her to kill standing in front of him with a horrified expression while he puts the pieces together?

What if Dorothy's POV in Wicked isn't about her exposing the Wizard as a nervous fraud, but as a heartless monster?

What if Dorothy's POV is about her exploring this new world and discovering for herself who is truly wicked or good?

yapping about the welcome home 10/18 update because i am so incredibly normal

Hello neighbors! Not exactly my usual content, but since when was I consistent :P I have a lot of thoughts about the new Welcome Home update, so I thought I’d make a post discussing my thoughts n findings, and try to analyze them to make sense of Welcome Home. 

SPOILERS BELOW THE CUT! YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!

First of all, right off the bat, on the first page of the storybook, you can see this:

All of these dots in white diamonds are meant to represent eyes, like the Looky-Loo branding alludes to. While they’re all mostly looking in different directions, we have these two who are looking right at the reader. I think these are meant to represent Wally’s eyes. Since we know from the hidden audios from the June ‘23 update that Wally can see through every drawing of his eyes, it looks like Wally is watching us or at least W through the storybook. It’s a tiny detail but so creepy nonetheless!

I want to focus on the end of W’s version of the storybook rather than the contents of the storybook, but I loved seeing a story centered around Sally and some depictions of Sally & Poppy’s dynamic! (Also Eddie calling Sally rude—THE GIRLS ARE FIGHTING. Based eddie tho LOL) I also loved seeing the neighbors all being so eager to help Poppy, but oh my goodness, the way that they did it… YIKES. Poor Poppy…

It’s so interesting that we’re seeing the characters one by one realize that something is wrong with their neighborhood—first Sally in last year’s Halloween update, then Eddie in the Homewarming update, now Poppy. 

It’s also interesting how Eddie and Poppy’s episodes(?) parallel each other. First of all, they very clearly focus on isolation from the rest of the neighborhood. Eddie loses all perception of the other neighbors, and the “single pea on a plate” represents his isolation from everyone else. Poppy is literally bricked off from the other neighbors, and she can’t hear them and vice versa until she screams and the door is opened.

The second interesting thing is that both of these episodes have Home involved. Eddie gets uncomfortable and immediately finds himself staring down Home even though he’s inside them. Poppy hears knocks, doors opening, and doorknobs turning—all of which are methods Home uses to communicate. I don’t know if Home is meant to be a metaphor for isolation or a genuine antagonistic force trying to corner the characters when they’re alone and at their weakest. Maybe both? 

Still, I was considering that the character who scares Poppy at the end of the storybook audio could also be one and the same with the “monster” (in quotations because it’s unclear whether this is an actual monster) Sally talked about in last year’s Halloween update. That would create a common thread between the two Halloween updates. Still, I’m not sure what that monster is meant to represent and if it is supposed to mean Home or something related to them, like the weird portal underneath it…

Third, it’s very interesting how the two episodes end. Both Eddie and Poppy are brought out of the episodes by the intervention of the other neighbors. But it’s not just any neighbors—both times, it’s Sally and Frank. Sally is the neighbor who notices something is up with Eddie first; she brings him to the Homewarming party, then pulls Frank over to Eddie at the end of Eddie’s episode. When Poppy’s episode ends, we hear two neighbors asking about her. It’s not explicitly stated whose voices they are in the transcript, but it’s clearly Sally and Frank.

Sally and Frank are a really interesting pair; their canon interactions include them getting into a physical fight over song lyrics. But somehow, we’ve seen them twice breaking up these episodes. They don’t appear to be as close as Frank is with Eddie or as Sally is with Poppy, but it would be a very weird coincidence if this was an accident both times. 

I strongly believe that Sally and Frank are both aware of what’s happening and trying to work together to either gain a bigger understanding of it, protect the other neighbors, etc. (I also have a theory that Howdy is in on it too, but I won’t focus on that right now.) This is why we see them coming to both Eddie and Poppy’s aid after their episodes. 

Another thing!! Connections to other literature seem to be really important in the lore of Welcome Home, so it’s not a throwaway that the play Sally puts on is Tell-Tale Heart. I don’t know a lot about Tell-Tale Heart, but it appears to be about a character who kills a man and buries his still-beating heart under the floorboards, only to be driven mad by the sound. I’m pretty sure we’ve heard Home’s heartbeat before, so I wonder if Tell-Tale Heart is supposed to connect to them… I’ve seen people connect it to Cask of Amontillado, but I’ve never even heard of that so I’ll let other theorists tackle that for now.

On a final note, Wally saying that “everything is as it should be” as the last line of the storybook…completely creeps me out!!!

That’s all for now. I should probably update my other theory soon lol

The Betrayal • A Full Breakdown

This post serves as an in-depth explanation of everything that occurred with the Betrayal arc regarding qRoier at the beginning of the server. Everything is split into 10 separate sections detailing what exactly happened as well as explaining qSpreen's side of this arc. Below the "Context" section you'll find a compilation of clips all of which are translated and captioned into English. Anything not shown in the video or lacking context is explained in their respective sections. In these sections you'll also find transcribed pieces of conversations not shown in the video translated into English as well.

— Context —

VOD 1 | In order to properly understand how this all unfolds I must explain some things first. Roier had set his mind on making a taqueria on the SMP which is a Mexcian restaurant that specializes in tacos for those unaware. To do this he had to, well, make tacos. Crafting tacos took a decent amount of ingredients but one ingredient in particular proved difficult to find. The tomatillo. After 1 hour and a half of search and calling out for Osito Bimbo's help, with no response, Roier finally found a single crop of tomatillo which gave him a single seed. He's ecstatic and starts making his way back home.

3 minutes later after he found the tomatillo and acquired the seed by himself Osito Bimbo makes an appearance. Roier quickly informs Osito that he came a little too late and questions why he now appears after having found what he was begging for minutes ago. Osito Bimbo doesn't offer any response and after lingering for a bit Roier decides to ask him something else.

Roier: Since you arrived so late, could you give me a lot of tomatillo? A lot, a lot of tomatillo. I think this is the only way I could forgive you.

Osito Bimbo: Maybe.

Roier asks Osito Bimbo for specifically a stack of tomatillo seeds, which commences a deal being inevitably struck.

Osito Bimbo tells Roier that, in exchange for the seeds, he has to do something for him. Roier, with a mischievous tone, agrees without hesitation and without knowing what it would be that he had to do. Osito then gives him a book instructing Roier to make him 10 tacos and 3 chimichangas. Osito then hands Roier 62 seeds of tomatillo. Roier thanks him graciously and sets off home to make the long-awaited tacos.

After he arrives home and begins preparing the tacos, he realizes he doesn't have salt or lettuce, so once more, Osito Bimbo appears, and he asks Osito for the missing ingredients. This time, however, instead of food, Osito Bimbo asks Roier to give him information on Vegetta in exchange for his help. Osito was of the belief that Vegetta was plotting something that Roier may know of. Going to the extent of using gunfire on Roier to threaten information out of him, however, Roier did not budge and instead acted aloof to what Osito Bimbo may have been referring to. Osito believed his act and handed him 17 seeds of lettuce and the coordinates of where he could find salt on the island. He sets off to the coordinates and, in fact, finds the salt where Osito Bimbo had said it would be.

Roier once again returns home and begins crafting the ingredients needed for the taco, such as cheese, salsa, tortillas, etc. During this time, Roier first sees two Cucurucho's at once. One in his kitchen and another in his garden. And finally, after 3 hours and 6 minutes, Roier crafts the first taco. He hands the taco to Osito Bimbo (The one in the kitchen) and he eats it. Roier makes a joke and Osito Bimbo shoots him. To this, Roier reacts negatively and says, "It's not cool for you to treat me like that. ... You can't just shoot me then simply leave like that." As a consolation of sorts, Osito Bimbo hands Roier a poppy. Roier informs Osito that he has to leave and won't be able to make the rest of the tacos for him that day. Osito Bimbo exclaims "No!" repeatedly. Roier challenges him and says, “Oh. You won't let me leave? You won't let me leave? Are you sure?" He then spits at Osito and throws the poppy back at him. After this, Osito Bimbo replies, “Finish what I told you.” Roier then, visibly irritated, says, “You know what, Osito? You know what, Osito? I'm tired of you treating me badly. I'm tired of you treating me badly. You and I are no longer friends." And he logs out without giving Osito Bimbo a second to respond.

VOD 2 I The following day, Roier logs on and finds a trail of poppies in his home, which leads to the upstairs of the house. Following the trail, he finds a chest with 3 tacos and a book inside.

Roier reacts to the letter warmly, declaring that he wants to keep spending time with Osito. He begins writing his own letter back as a response.

Roier leaves the book in the chest, knowing that Osito is likely watching him in that moment and will read the book later. Then Roier commences his day by gathering ingredients and crafting more tacos.

VOD 3 | Now, before this occurred and before Roier had logged on for that very day, Spreen was also on the server exploring when he was approached by the Devil, who proposed an alliance between the two of them.

Devil: I come here to propose an alliance. You and I, what do you think?

Spreen: What type of alliance?

Devil: An alliance. You do bad things for me and I do good things for you.

Spreen: So, I do bad things for you but it's going to be your fault?

Devil: No, because-

Spreen: So, I have to take the blame for my own actions?

Devil: You just have to- No, you just have to play carefully and not get caught doing bad things.

Spreen: So, I have to play with people's feelings?

Devil: Exactly, that's what I like, that's what I like.

The agreement goes as follows: Spreen will do whatever bad things the Devil asks, if Spreen so chooses to accept them, in exchange for whatever he desires. The greater his desires, the greater the sin he'll have to commit. The Devil says that there's only one condition to their alliance, which is that Spreen can never tell anyone that he's had contact with the Devil, and if in any situation the Devil is implicated, then he will rain hell on Spreen's life, like destroying his home and so forth. Additionally, if Spreen agrees to do a misdeed prompted to him by the Devil, he must complete it in the given time, or else he'll have to punish him severely. It is important to note that while talking to the Devil, Spreen mentions Roier being his "great comrade" and saved a cat from being burned alive by the Devil. The devil then conducts an interview with Spreen to see if this alliance is truly beneficial to him, and this is where Spreen reveals some information about himself.

Devil: I'm going to ask you first, who is the person you like best from this world?

Spreen: From this world?

Devil: Yes.

Spreen: My comrade Roier I honestly really like him a lot. We live together for now. And there's Missa too... My bros at home are the ones I like the best.

Devil: And would you betray Roier and Missa?

Spreen: Yeah, no problem.. Depends on what cost.

When told to list the first three acts of misdeeds that come to his mind that he could commit against his fellow islanders, he includes on the list killing one of their pets. When asked by the Devil what he'd do to someone he cherishes, like Roier or Missa, Spreen replies that he'd kill them relentlessly to the point of exhaustion and to where they log off the server. Spreen asks the Devil what he'd give him in exchange for such a misdeed, and this is where the Devil proposes a plan.

Devil: Wait a moment. Does Roier have any type of pet?

Spreen: I really don't know. I think he has a cat but I don't know if it's his or Missa's.

The Devil says to find out specifically if Roier has any pets he cherishes and if that pet has a name. Giving him a piece of paper and telling him that if the pet doesn't have a name, then either name it himself or ensure Roier names it. Stating that if Spreen gathered that information he'd give him the sky and anything he could ever want. He also mentioned he'd be observing and watching Spreen from the other side while he tries to gather that information from Roier.

Now after this, Spreen heads off to his home with Roier and Missa, and Roier offers him a taco, which he gladly accepts.

— The Clips —

Further details on what is going on in the video are in the sections below. These sections include additional context and information that was not included in the video itself, which are vital to grasping the full picture of this arc.

— The Lie —

Spreen begins telling Roier that he's decided he wants to be a veterinarian and open a vet on the island. However, he wants to take a count of who on the island has pets as a form of data to see if the business would do well. So he asks Roier if he has a pet of his own. With the context provided, we know that this was a lie to find out the information assigned to him by the Devil. Roier replies that he has a dog in a cage that he has yet to tame, then proceeds to set it free and tame the dog. He names it Firusflais. Spreen tells Roier that, as a veterinarian, he shouldn't leave the dog inside a cage all day, but Roier disagrees, saying that his dog is different and likes being left inside the cage in his backpack. Spreen prods Roier further about the matter, and Roier reveals that he prefers keeping his pets in his inventory and not out in the open, like Missa's cat, out of fear of the pet being killed by someone else. Spreen disagrees, saying that Roier has a keypad door, so it's unlikely to happen. Roier then mentions that the only people who can enter the home through the keypad door are Spreen, Mariana, Missa, and him. A symbol of those that hold his utmost trust.

— The Deal —

Spreen uses and mentions a bubble blower, which reminds Roier of the turtle racing bet in which he lost it to Spreen. They laugh about it, and Roier asks if Spreen would like to do another turtle racing bet. However, Roier questions Spreen's trustworthiness when it comes to how these races are done and the possibility of them being rigged. This is right when Spreen receives a private message from the Devil telling him he has 5 minutes to return to the bar alone to inform him of what he has learned.

Spreen quickly shuts down the accusations and says that Roier can pick the turtle himself and where the race takes place. Roier then suggests the idea of doing a test race with a taco on the line. Spreen says he doesn't want to do all the work of setting up a turtle race for a simple taco. Roier defensively says that the taco isn't something to be taken lightly and took a lot of work to craft. Spreen sarcastically agrees and says it's only 5 ingredients. Roier decides to challenge Spreen to go gather all the ingredients and craft a taco himself in just ten minutes if it's so easy, and if he somehow accomplishes this, then he'll give him 100 subs. Spreen quickly agrees, stating that he'll bring all the ingredients to Roier and craft the taco in his face.

And just like that, a bet is made.

After Spreen leaves to find the ingredients, Roier reassures the voices that there is no way that Spreen could find all of the ingredients in time. The only possible way would be if Spreen sneaked into his garden to gather the ingredients.

Some further reasoning as to why Roier so confidently bet 100 subs can be looked at through two lenses. Through the meta-explanation and through a character analysis. In meta, Roier fully knew that the previous day he had spent hours trying to gather the proper ingredients to craft that taco, so logically, he knew there was no feasible way for Spreen to do the same in just ten minutes. Through his character, it makes sense for him to fully trust qSpreen in this bet, as they had done previous bets when turtle racing and qSpreen had proven himself to be an honorable man. Not just that, but qSpreen and qRoier held a tight bond in which he never could've imagined his friend lying and deceiving him. We see evidence of this bond several times days prior, but specifically in moments where you realize the importance of Roier allowing Spreen to live with him and have access to that keypad door. The same goes for Spreen when he states that one of the two people he values most is Roier.

While Spreen is off, Roier decides to complete his deal with Osito Bimbo and craft the 10 tacos and 3 chimichangas.

As Spreen exits the house and walks towards the bar, he states that now he knows what he'll ask the Devil in exchange for killing Roier’s dog. In other words, he'll ask for the taco ingredients. When he arrives at the bar, Spreen informs the Devil of everything that occurred with the dog and the deal and says that he'll do anything to that dog as long as the Devil helps him with the taco. The Devil says it's a deal as long as Spreen kills not just Roier's dog but also Missa's cat with the taco in his hand. As well as Spreen gifting 20 of those 100 subs to him. Spreen seems taken aback by this for a moment, questioning the addition of Missa’s cat to the chaos before regaining his composure and saying it seems like a good deal. Spreen talks to the voices for a moment, reassuring them and informing them of his plan.

Spreen: I don't want to kill Missa's cat, dude. I'm going to do something. I'm going to do something people, this is a round deal. I'm going to kill Missa's cat without Roier seeing and I'm going to replace it with a cat of the same breed. The issue is that when Missa comes he won't see it so l'm going to put it in a cage and I'm going to leave it placed inside the cage there, okay? Then when he takes the cat out of the cage Missa is going to say, "Hey why didn't I adopt him?". And he's going to start thinking and he's going to be suspicious but he's not going to understand what's going on. So we're going to replace Missa's cat, and then Roier's dog I'm going to fuck him up right there with the taco in my hand. And while we're at it, we're going to fuck up Roier too by getting 100 subs out of him with this taco thing. So don't worry. I've got it all figured out.

This moment in particular is one of the times where you can see how much of a mastermind qSpreen really is and how his mind works. Someone not to be messed with. However, the one fatal flaw in this entire ordeal is that he underestimated Roier's experiences with that taco. With the knowledge of what happens after all this occurs when Spreen is explaining his plan you realize they were all doomed the second he agreed to that deal. It was just a matter of time.

After the Devil hands Spreen the ingredients for the taco, he informs him that he only has 15 minutes to kill Missa's cat and Roier's dog. He sets off back to Roier in a hurry, as he only had 5 minutes left to complete the taco deal with Roier. The Devil then quickly reminds him that if he doesn't complete the misdeed, he'll be punished.

— Doubt —

Spreen arrives at Roier's home immediately, telling him that he's awful at making bets as he hands him the ingredients for the taco. Roier is incredibly shocked and confused before quickly starting to question how and where Spreen had found all the ingredients. Spreen doesn't budge and starts claiming Roier had simply done a worse job looking for the ingredients than him and that that was all there was to it. He asks for the 100 subs and the taco itself; however, Roier continues to question him specifically about where he found the tomatillo, salt, and what he needed to craft the salsa. Spreen continues to lie, and Roier takes note of this. Roier then begins calling Spreen a liar as Spreen continues to not inform Roier of how he honestly got the ingredients.

Roier: Who gave you all of this? Where did you get this, asshole?

Spreen: Dude I got it on my own. Stop lying. I find it disrespectful that you're lying to me with the fact that-

Roier: I find it disrespectful that after what we've been through, Spreen, you're lying to me, dude.

Spreen: You're lying to me, asshole because you bet something and you're not delivering.

The situation quickly escalates as Roier hands Spreen his globe and tells him he's allowed to take it from their home before he beats him up for lying to him. This globe Spreen had specifically acquired his second day on the island and was a valued item of his. *(1) Spreen tells him not to start with him as he pulls out an enchanted diamond sword as an intimidation tactic. The only enchantment on the sword being bane of arthropods.

Considering the qRoier spider hybrid depiction, | thought that detail was quite coincidental and ironic.

To which Roier responds by equipping a set of enchanted diamond armor with all but a pair of boots. Spreen sees this and hands him his own pair of enchanted diamond boots, taunting him. Spreen then demands to be paid the subs, and Roier refuses and spits on him. Spreen continues to demand for Roier to complete his part of the deal, but Roier suggests fighting for it instead. Spreen refuses to do this, as this wasn't part of the original deal. Soon after this, Roier finally says fine and that he'll gift Spreen the subs; however, he tells Spreen that he never mentioned when he'd gift him the subs. Spreen, upset by this, questions if this is really how Roier is going to handle the situation.

Spreen then swears to Roier that he had planned offstream to make tacos for his bar days prior, which is why he had the ingredients for the taco already. To back this up, he states that he had also, while offstream, made a structure for his new home, which he could show Roier as proof that he had been doing things offstream. Roier doesn't believe him but complies when Spreen offers to show him this supposed structure. As Roier follows Spreen, he says he wants to contact his lawyer Quackity. Spreen then shows Roier the structure and continues with his lie, stating that the same day he was constructing his home, he spent 5 hours online and went looking for the tomatillo. Roier's suspicions do not subside, and he says again that he'll have to speak with his lawyer since he doesn't believe him. Spreen isn't particularly fond of the lawyer idea, saying that Roier is complicating his day and he just wants the issue to be resolved quickly. In the context of the deal, we know this is because he still needed to kill the pets and is wasting time with this dispute. He had wasted 8 of the 15 minutes he was given to kill the pets at this point.

— The Court Case —

After Roier messages Quackity for assistance with the situation, Quackity promptly arrives at Roier and Spreen's home. And Roier hands Quackity a taco as a gift. At this point, Spreen had 5 minutes on the clock to kill the cat and the dog. The Devil starts striking lightning around Spreen as a warning. Roier and Quackity become alarmed and question what is causing the lightning, while Spreen remains silent and tells them to hurry this up as he would like to leave for the day. Spreen tells his side of the story to Quackity, leaving out everything to do with the Devil, of course, and is once again reminded that time is ticking by the Devil. Specifically, he has 3 minutes to complete his side of the deal, or else the consequences will be severe. As well as to remember their blood pact.

Roier then begins to tell his side of the story while Spreen excuses himself to go to the bathroom. The Devil messages Spreen again, telling him that for every minute he exceeds the given time, he'll have to give away 1 more sub to him, or else his home, the one in construction, will completely disappear forever. During this bathroom break, Spreen walks into the home, apologizes to the cat, and kills it before quickly heading back to Quackity and Roier. 2 minutes left. The Devil reminds Spreen to kill Roier's dog with the taco in his hand as he had forgotten to kill the cat with the taco.

Quackity hears both sides of the story and calls for a testimony from a witness. The witness being Quackity himself, who was not present for the situation when it occurred. As a witness, Quackity states that Roier is in the wrong, as obtaining a taco is not difficult at all. He comes to this conclusion because, having logged in for just a couple minutes, he had acquired a taco. This taco, of course, was the one Roier had gifted him minutes prior. This leaves Roier shocked and betrayed by a friend who he trusted would take his side in this dispute. Roier then questions Quackity about how he got the taco, knowing full well that he had given him that taco.

Roier: And how did you find that? How did you find that Quackity?

Quackity: It was very easy, very easy. I grabbed a tortilla and put the ingredients inside. It was very easy.

Now from Roier's POV this may seem very coincidental and perhaps a planned action by Spreen and Quackity but to clarify not once did Spreen whisper to Quackity to help him or tell him to choose his side for some type of a reward. This was purely their actions lining up and causing a massive impact on Roier and his trust in them.

Spreen states he's hungry and asks Quackity for the taco and Quackity hands it to him. Spreen does this so that he could have a taco to kill the dog.

Quackity now serving as the role of the judge comes to the conclusion that Roier should be annexed for three weeks and would have to go to jail. Roier is left shocked and bewildered by this conclusion. Spreen quickly steps in and tells Quackity that those extremes would not have to be necessary as Roier is his comrade and that all he asks is for Roier to complete his side of the deal. The Devil starts counting down 30 seconds to Spreen so he adds that he would also like Roier to give him his dog on top of the subs. Roier confused asks why his dog and Spreen just says he wants the dog again.

After some discussion Roier agrees to give Spreen his dog as long as he doesn't have to pay the subs. Spreen refuses to accept this negotiation. Roier states that he doesn't have the dog with him and that it's currently at the vet. Spreen however knowing this to be wrong as Roier earlier placed the caged dog in his backpack in front of him continues pressing further for the dog. Quackity then says Spreen is entitled to take physical and violent action against Roier if he refuses to complete his part of the deal. Roier starts exclaiming that Quackity is corrupted and that he had trusted him. That he had trusted both Quackity and Spreen. Asking whats wrong with them and saying that they aren't normally like this. With 3 seconds on the clock, Spreen, having heard what Quackity said about being allowed to take violent action, takes this as a green light and begins attacking Roier.

— The Hunt —

Spreen hits Roier first with his iron axe and Roier begins fleeing stating that he won't pay anything and that they're in the wrong. Spreen shouts to Roier saying that he has to help him. Roier then shouts saying this isn’t how things work. Spreen hits him again and he whimpers. 17 hearts. Quackity following behind Spreen tells Roier to pay him so that this will all be over. Roier says he won't keep discussing or hand over the dog until Spreen calms down. So Quackity tries to ask Spreen to calm down but he doesn't. Another hit. 14.5 hearts. Roier exclaims that he's going to die and begins running out of flat space to run. Hit. 12 hearts. Quackity says that he knows he's meant to be his lawyer but to give up the dog already. Hit again. 9 hearts. And another one. 7 hearts. And another. 4 hearts. Roier begins shouting that he had trusted Quackity over and over. Quackity once again says to hand over the dog and Roier refuses. He says that they're wrong again. Then Spreen downs Roier. Spreen begins shouting at Roier saying to hand over the dog or else he'll kill him. And right as Roier gives up and agrees to hand over the dog Spreen lands the final blow killing Roier. The chase takes 1 minute and 34 seconds.

Spreen then takes the cage from Roier's body and starts killing the dog with the taco. Quackity tries to protest and get him to stop but it's ineffective and the dog dies anyway. Spreen tells Quackity that it was inevitable and he had to do it. As well as that Roier would not find out. Unbeknownst to Spreen that Roier got notified in chat that his pet had been killed. As Roier begins to feel saddened by the death he tells himself that he cannot get like this. Spreen in the meantime receives a message by the Devil telling him to meet him at the bar in less than 5 minutes.

— The Hurt —

After being killed, Roier spawns thousands of blocks away due to having set his spawn in a dungeon he had done days prior, so he breaks the bed and allows a zombie to kill him. In fact, he begins begging for the zombies to kill him, exclaiming that he's tired of this life. When his death to the zombies is shown in chat Quackity types laughter as a response in chat, and Roier takes note of this behavior, stating that it's fine and that he had trusted Quackity. He goes on to say that the hurt he feels isn't even because of the loss of his pet, but because of the trust and friendship he lost with Quackity and Spreen. Describing the situation as a betrayal he never would've expected of Quackity and even less of Spreen.

Roier: If he (Spreen) wanted money I could've given it to him, I hope it'll be more worthwhile for him to have earned that money now that he has lost my friendship.

After Roier returns to his body, a few snarky comments get thrown by Spreen before he leaves.

Quackity: (Looking through Roier's backpack) My god 40 diamonds! Only diamond armor bro.

Roier: Go on. If you want to rob it from me, rob it from me if you want to. It's fine.

Spreen: No, my friend, nobody is robbing anything from you. Not like you who tries to rob from others with your fake bets. (Walks away)

Quackity sticks with Roier, trying to ensure that his friend isn't too mad at him for the events that unfolded. Roier, however, remains clearly upset. When he gets his backpack back from Quackity, he notices that he took all his food and tacos. He asks Quackity if he has taken his food, and while blatantly lying, Quackity says no. Quackity then offers Roier his own food back at him.

Quackity: Do you want food? Look I'II give you some. (Gives Roier 31 toast)

Roier: Yeah I'd like that. A bit of food.

Quackity: No worries, no worries. You know thats what friends are for.

Roier: What did you say?

Quackity: You know thats what friends are for Roier. Don't worry.

Roier: What friends are for?

Quackity: Yeah, to give food to one another-

Roier: For what you did back there? Is that what friends are for?

Quackity then asks where his thank you is for having helped him with the dispute with Spreen. Roier doesn't say thank you. Quackity then tells Roier that he won't charge him for the legal representation.

Quackity: For the legal representation. I'm not going to charge you because you're a close friend. You're a close friend.

Roier: It's a good thing I'm a close friend, because if I was an enemy, just imagine.

Quackity: Oh shit yeah, no, imagine! No, no, no.

Roier: Imagine how it would have gone.

Roier continues to be noticeably upset through his tone of voice, and Quackity once again asks if he's doing alright, and Roier continues to act as if everything is fine.

VOD 4 | Meanwhile, Spreen goes to the bar and finds the devil waiting for him. He's quickly informed that he passed the test and that the contract between them has been finalized. The Devil expresses that he's forgiven for going over the set time because he killed the dog and Roier as well. Which was done in such a brilliant manner that it satisfied the Devil.

Devil: You have literally sold your soul. You have done evil against a friend you love and I love that, so congratulations you have passed the test.

The Devil leaves swiftly, and Spreen decides to return to his friends.

This is when the Angel appears in front of Roier and Quackity, saying that he's looking for someone who doesn't belong to this world, specifically a red being. Roier then shows that he has a red hoodie, and the Angel asks him to step closer so he can get a better look at him. As he steps onto a block closer, the Angel breaks the one below Roier, and he falls to his death and is downed.

Spreen decides he wants to apologize to Roier for acting impulsively. Right then, he sees the downed message in chat and stumbles upon Quackity laughing as the Angel comes up with excuses for his actions. Spreen tells them he wants to apologize to Roier over what occurred with the bet and where he could find Roier. Quackity, still laughing, doesn't answer quickly enough before Spreen notices Roier had been tricked and is down below them. Spreen water drops and misses landing on two hearts. He picks Roier up, hands him food, and says he's there to say his sorries. Explaining that he was acting impulsively and let the situation overcome him. He then hands Roier his globe as a gift. And in a way for Spreen, it served as a symbol of his honest apology to his closest friend. Roier, however, is unfazed.

The Angel then decides to take Quackity, Roier, and Spreen on a fun adventure. During this, Roier remains in an upset mood while Spreen and Quackity try to mend whatever is left of their friendship. In one moment, Spreen asks if Roier wants any food, and Roier says no, but Spreen still hands him a golden apple. The Angel decides to gift Roier a pet dog so that he can feel better and because animals make people happy. Roier says thank you, and then Spreen and Roier stare at each other in silence as Spreen blows bubbles. As some meta commentary, Rubius plays both the Devil and the Angel and his decision to gift Roier a dog as the Angel after having orchestrated the entire plan to kill his previous dog as the Devil. Sick and twisted. I was jaw-dropped by this the first time watching. Love it. Quackity then gifts Roier two tacos to try and make him happy. It doesn't work.

The Angel asks the group what'd make them happy, and Spreen says confessing his sins, so they begin doing a group confession. Spreen begins by sharing that he killed a dog, a cat, and a friend. And additionally mentions the illegal turtle racing. The Angel forgives him. Quackity then goes to the podium and confesses to doing a poor legal job representing someone. The Angel forgives him. The Angel then encourages Roier to confess, as he sees darkness in his soul that needs to be purified. Stating that God himself told the Angel on WhatsApp to help Roier. The Angel tells Roier that he needs to do something good for someone who wronged him today. Specifically, he needs to gift Spreen a named pet. Saying that doing this will benefit him in the future. Roier agrees. Spreen already had a tiger in his backpack that he wanted as a pet, so he sets it free and allows Roier to recapture it so that he can gift it to him as a pet. Roier names it Algodón de Azúcar or Cotton Candy. Spreen is grateful then logs off at this point. It is important to note that he doesn't end up doing the replacement plan of Missa's cat.

Roier then continues to hang out with Quackity. Whenever Quackity wasn't talking, he'd give him a death glare, which would quickly shift into a smile with a joyous tone of voice when it came his turn to speak and continue the conversation.

Had to include a gif. It's too good.

As they arrive at Quackity's home, Roier pulls out an enchanted iron sword with murderous intent before putting the sword away. They spend the rest of the day together, and Roier is able to act perfectly fine around Quackity while still holding onto that anger and grudge by the time they say goodbye.

— The Aftermath —

VOD 5 | The following day, Roier continues to show his distrust for Quackity and with Spreen stating at one point that one of the few people who hasn't betrayed him and who he can truly trust is Vegetta. As well as Missa and Mariana. Mentioning that he does believe Mariana could betray him at some point, but as of that point in time, he had not, so they're on good terms. He considers whether he should tell Vegetta about what happened to him with Spreen and Quackity. While on the way to Vegetta's home, he gets attacked by a mob and gets overcome with sadness, saying that it reminded him of the day before when he was being attacked and killed.

After greeting Vegetta, he offers him some tacos as a gift, telling him that they were quite difficult to craft. And Vegetta looks at the recipe and agrees, deciding to cherish them. This is a direct contrast to Spreen's reaction to them.

Roier then tells Vegetta he was betrayed and asks for advice and if Vegetta would like to know who the people are. Vegetta says no, saying he'd rather not involve himself too much so he can offer unbiased assistance. Vegetta does agree to help him and then advises Roier to place a bunch of mines in the homes of these people.

Vegetta and Roier then set off to do dungeons together. After they finish, they find Quackity at spawn with Fit, and Roier decides to tell Vegetta that he's upset with Quackity but is going to act friendly when in reality he wants to kill him. Vegetta understands and goes along with this. They spy on their conversation but once they're caught Vegetta and Roier decide to shower Fit and Quackity with gifts, while Roier purposefully keeps referring to Quackity as his friend.

Roier keeps playing the act of being on friendly terms with Quackity until Vegetta logs off. Once he's back home, he removes Spreen from the keypad door whitelist. Then, after some thought, he re-adds him to the whitelist as to give off the impression of their friendship being intact while he plans to stab him in the back.

Quackity then shows up at Roier's home, and they have a conversation.

Quackity: The other day something happened that has greatly separated your friendship and mine.

Roier: Of course, of course.

Quackity: And I just want to make sure that there are no future problems between us. And I just wanted to reassure that part of our friendship.

Roier: (Crosses fingers) Rest assured, rest assured.

Quackity: Perfect. Because if anything happens to me... (Steps closer) I'll have someone to blame.

Roier: Of course, don't worry.

Quackity: Do you have enemies?

Roier: No, not at all.

Quackity: I hope it stays that way. I'm leaving. And remember not to mess with me.

Roier: I won't mess with anyone.

(Quackity leaves)

Roier: Don't worry Quackity. Don't worry Quackity. I won't be the one to do anything to you no, no, no, no, no, that's going to be you Quackity. That's gonna be you. Don't worry. I'm not even gonna touch you. I'm not even gonna touch you Quackity. You'll see. You'll see.

— The Cat —

Missa logs in after a few days of not being online and quickly notices his cat is missing. He looks around the entire house and doesn't find the cat, so he asks in chat where Roier is. Roier says he's on the way to talk to him.

Roier returns home to greet Missa and is immediately questioned by him about the whereabouts of his cat. Roier decides he has to break the news to him about what occurred with Spreen and Quackity. He tells Missa how he was betrayed, humiliated, and had his dog killed, which is likely the same fate Missa's cat suffered. Missa doesn't take this well and shouts what his cat had to do with any of it. Roier says he doesn't know, but that they were betrayed. Missa says that there's probably a misunderstanding. Since the cat had brought nothing but peace to their home, how could someone have hurt him? Roier agrees, saying that his dog too is gone. Missa shouts to hell with his dog since he never met him. Roier then starts retelling everything that happened to Missa, from the start with the tacos to the end with the axe in his back. Missa isn't understanding: instead, he begins blaming everything on Roier because surely there has to be a misunderstanding.

Missa: Spreen is my brother. Spreen wouldn't do something like that.

Roier: But he did. He did Missa.

Missa then starts considering every possibility except reality. He wonders if it was even the real Spreen and Quackity; perhaps they were imposters, but Roier tells him to accept that it was them. Missa doesn't stop; he says that something is wrong; something must have happened, as Spreen would never. Then he says that maybe their dream of making a taqueria shouldn't be done. Roier doesn't accept this, however, saying that even Vegetta understands that they must do a taqueria. Roier then tells Missa that he'll get revenge on Spreen and Quackity, even if Missa doesn't want revenge because they were the ones that beat and hurt him. He continues telling Missa that he's going to keep pretending to be their friend and, when they least expect it, betray them as they did him. Missa says not to do something he'll regret. Missa, in his fit of despair and sadness over the loss of his cat, says that he cannot keep living in that home with Roier. Once again Missa blames everything on Roier, he goes on to say that this was all because of Roier's desire for tacos.

Missa: All because of your desire for tacos. Roier this is all your fault if you hadn't- if you hadn't planned on making a taqueria..

After saying this, Missa goes to leave, but before that, Roier asks if Missa is really going to leave him alone like that. Missa says that he isn't alone; he has his tacos and then walks out of the house they built with a future together in mind. A future that no longer existed from that moment forward.

Roier stays silent for a while before he says, "Not you too, Missa." He, in a fit of rage, starts breaking the trail of poppies Osito Bimbo had left him. In disbelief that any of this had happened.

Roier: Missa, Spreen, Quackity, who's next? Mariana? Is Mariana next? I only have Vegetta and Mariana. I only have Vegetta and Mariana.

In the end, Roier is left alone without his dog, without the cat, without Spreen, and without Missa.

VOD 6 | Missa, after having composed himself, concludes that while he doesn't believe Spreen would hurt his cat, he also doesn't want to fight with Roier. So he runs to their home to say sorry, but once he arrives, Roier is no longer there. Minutes too late, as Roier had logged off. So instead, he leaves a chest with a poppy inside as a sign that there's no bad blood between them. As well as a sign saying it's for Roier.

What's important to mention is that Missa had a heavy amount of trust placed in Spreen because it was his brother, and he couldn't fathom Spreen doing something so terrible. Something quite ironic about the cat is that Roier was the one who warned Missa not to adopt a cat in case anyone used it against them. *(2) Explaining that an emotional attachment to a cat would only open the possibility of hurt in the future. And in the end, that is exactly what happened.

Here are some sad Trolls headcanons/scenarios that won't leave my head (I try to put them in a timeline order)

Floyd left expecting to come back eventually. What it took to leave BergenTown made him scared of coming back for a long while.

Since Indie sub-genres are basically all also sub-genres of other genres (Indie Pop, Indie Folk, etc) maybe there's a tribe of Indie trolls out there that are just a bunch of trolls descended from the other main six tribes. (I sometimes imagine Floyd spent a lot of time there in the 20+ years he was gone)

Clay used to scratch his arms/wrists when he was mad as a kid. They had him wear wristbands to help, and he actually loved the feeling of wearing them.

Floyd could stop any fight between his brothers by crying. This how he ended up known as "the sensitive one"

One of the bros tried to convince Branch John Dory was actually his dad. He cried, because he didn't want his bros to not be his bros anymore. John Dory was mad about this prank because of how upset it made Branch, and because he never wanted to replace their parents.

This "date" made Spruce feel so uncomfortable, he threw up when he got home. He pretended he was just sick, and John Dory never stopped apologizing for convincing him to go out while he was "sick." (image from Branch's clueboard, cleaned up by @kittyball23)

In general, I think the ages of BroZone at the time of the break-up were Young Adult, Teen, Preteen, Child, and Baby.

Grandma Rosiepuff geniunely expected the other bros to come back after a bit of time. They'd fought before, and they always made up.

Branch went gray not just because Grandma sacrificed herself for him, not just because he lost the only family of his that stayed. But also because he failed her. He failed to keep her safe. And he failed his brothers who trusted him to look after their grandma.

Creek was always manipulative and toxic af. During the big escape, his shoved Branch out of the way. (no one ever believed Branch when he said it was on purpose.

Someone helped Branch get back up and keep going so he wasn't left behind. He never got a good look at who it was. He used to imagine finding them and becoming a sort of found family with them.

It was Clay. He saw Creek shove another kid out of the way (obviously on purpose). But he didn't recognize who the gray troll kid was. He just quickly got the kid up and moving so he could go back and look for Branch and Grandma (this is how he ended up left behind with Viva and the Putt-Putt trolls).

People tried to look out for Branch while he was still a kid. But he liked to keep his distance, so they all did, too. They weren't ever able to help him get his color back, anyway. (Poppy was the only one who never gave up trying to help him)

Everyone kind of agreed to stop bringing up the trolls left behind around King Peppy (and in extension Poppy) because it's cause him to completely shut down. It looked like he might go gray, too.

Clay developed some self-destructive habits after arriving at the golf course. He thought he failed to save his baby brother. He was very good at keeping it hidden. Eventually he improved through sheer stubbornness. He keeps the old wristbands as a comfort, and to cover scars. (Literally no one but him knows)

John Dory interacted with a few other survivalists on the Neverglade Trail. Maybe he had an opportunity to "settle down" with one of them. But the guilt of leaving his brothers behind started eating him up, so he ran. (who knows, maybe he has a kid he doesn't know about)

When John Dory tried coming home, it was a few years after the escape from the Troll Tree. He saw it empty and thought it meant the Bergens had finally eaten every last troll. Maybe some of his brothers escaped. But the way he saw it, the younger the brother, the more likely they didn't make it. John Dory was convinced his baby brother was dead.

John Dory didn't have very much memorabilia when he first left. When he returned to the Troll Tree empty, he took as much stuff as he could carry without being scared of getting caught.

Bruce really wanted to invite his younger brothers to his wedding, but he didn't have a way to contact them. John Dory was the only one he had any way of reaching.

That postcard to John Dory was sent because he was desperate to reach out to ONE of his brothers, but he didn't want to have that reconciliation or fight at his wedding. So it's a mostly blank postcard. (John Dory cried, because it was confirmation one of his brothers was alive.)

Bruce named his daughter Rosie, after Grandma Rosiepuff. (he thought of naming some of his sons after his presumed dead younger brothers, but that felt wrong when he changed his own name to distance himself from them and the band)

Poppy might have briefly had a bit of a crush on Creek. This makes the betrayal all the more devastating.

At some point between the events of the first movie and Floyd getting captured, he crossed paths with Creek. They briefly had a fling, but eventually, Creek's toxicity became too much, and Floyd went left for someplace new. (And Creek might have been arrested in the Indie Mountains.)

None of the other troll tribes knew the Pop Trolls were annually being eaten alive for so many years. Some find their ability to keep so cheery and positive after all that to be actually impressive.

Peppy is doing therapy with Mr. Dinkles because the events of World Tour made him realize he doesn't have a good way of coping with things. (Running, hiding, and keeping secrets aren't actually good in the long run.)

Crimp experienced some major abuse from Velvet and Veneer. Yet she never tried leaving the job as their assistant because it was the only job she could get.

John Dory, Bruce, and Clay never expected to see Branch grown up. They didn't know how to react to/treat him like a grown up when they first saw him again.

Floyd genuinely thought he'd die in that bottle, even if the bros managed to hit the perfect family harmony. At that point, he was so drained, his hair was almost entirely white, and he couldn't even stand himself up. But the idea that the last thing he'd ever see would be his brothers singing and dancing together like old times made him happy.

The perfect family harmony undid most of the physical damage Floyd experienced. But he still feels a sort of phantom pains sometimes. His legs will feel numb and tingly. Stretching helps.

Velvet tried to completely throw her brother under the bus after they got arrested. She tried to blame him for everything, tried to claim she was forced to go along with it. Veneer's confession, Crimp's testimony, and just the way she slowly took more and more of the spotlight away from her brother kept her from getting her way. Veneer even got a lighter sentence than she did.

okay wont be very original. And maybe this is not even something you interact with much? But I just adore your style, and I'd love your take on this.

Remus raises Harry. Is he more level headed? do the 1st and 2nd books go on as they do? Do they catch the rat earlier? Remus's guilt. And wolfstar? what are your thoughts?

No, I love Remus raises Harry! This is great.

Truthfully, Remus is a reluctant parent. He never really quite believed he should have a kid. I mean, he's a monster, right? And no kid should have a monster for a parent.

The early days were, in particular, hard. Harry clung to Remus as the last person left that he really recognized. For days, Remus did nothing that didn't have a toddler attached to him. And, if you've never had a toddler cling to you while you showered, you don't understand how slippery they are. Which is *very*. There was so many times where the two of them just cried and screamed together, because sometimes grief leaves you with no other choice.

Remus was, however, immediately surrounded by a whole village to help him. He had to, and he gave up some of his privacy to make sure Harry had that. The Weasleys, the Longbottoms (because yes, we're saving them), Minerva and Poppy. Remus ran into Ted Tonks one day who brought him and Harry home like a lost puppy.

The first full moon was the hardest, of course. Not just because it was the first he had changed alone since he was fifteen, but also because grief translates to the wolf as well, and Remus carried both his grief and Harry's, who he had to peel off of himself, screaming, to hand to a waiting Alice. It took him an extra day to recover because of the way his body broke, but he allowed Harry into his bed the next morning to press soft, sticky kisses to his cheeks.

Remus kicked himself for not finding Wormtail sooner. The truth was that he didn't spend much time at the Weasley's house himself. He'd drop Harry and run because far too much of their life reminded him of Fab and Gid, who were dear friends before they died. But, at nust over a year, he agreed to go for the holidays. One of the Weasley boys kept complaining that his pet rat was acting really odd, and Remus offered to take a look, since he would freelance doing magical and magical adjacent creature care.

Peter was brought to him in a box, scratching at the sides like his life depended on it. Remus took one look inside and sealed it so tightly that Peter was in real danger of suffocating before the Aurors showed up. Sirius was freed by the new year.

It took some time for Sirius to adjust. 2.5 year old Harry didn't remember him at all, and his screaming dementor nightmares didn't help the matter. Harry slept in Remus’s room, silenced, and Sirius slept... well, most often either on the couch or curled up in front of Remus’s door. It took two weeks and several times tripping over him before early morning Remus remembered to look down before he stepped out.

The first moon with Sirius back was a challenge. Harry wouldn't go to him, so he still had to go stay with Alice and Frank. Remus had been locking himself in the basement, but Sirius couldn't step foot in it without feeling a dementor chill. Remus was unwilling to go out running again, not without massive Prongs to keep him from wandering into Muggle campsites. Padfoot curled up at the door to the cellar. For months, Padfoot whined st the door while Moony howled below.

It was slow progress.

They didn't try to make their relationship work. Both of them wanted it, but they couldn't forgive themselves for the mistakes they made. It wasn't until a few years later, when Harry would accept a bedtime story from either of his uncles, that Remus and Sirius found themselves joking about how much Harry was like Lily and James. Then they cried about it. Then they were snogging, and they didn't stop until they were both sweaty and apologing for taking so long.

It was still hard, but they made it work. And they were happy

What would branch being captured by the v's look like in the classical branch au

would trollzart and the others have to find his brothers or like how would they react to branch's brothers acting so undignified(by classical troll stantards) especially compared to branch who is literally The etiquette person(having written books and being a etiquette teacher, etc)

- :D

If Classical Branch was captured by Velvet and Veneer, I like to think the two actually have no idea if they actually caught Bitty B.

"Are we sure this is Bitty B?" "The name is 'Branch', my good sir." "Who cares if it is, we'll just lie and tell BroZone we have Bitty B."

John Dory gets the letter and goes to confirm himself, finding Classical Branch. He actually can't tell that Classical Branch is Branch, and Branch doesn't know that John Dory doesn't know.

JD: Hello? Hey! Hey are you okay? Branch: Johnathon Dory? JD: Uh just John Dory. Branch: My apologies. I'm relatively unharmed, though most indisposed. You best leave now, before Madam Velvet and Sir Veneer return. JD: I should get you out- WAIT! Do they have any other trolls here? Branch: No, just myself, thankfully. Though some company would help see me through the nights...

Branch tells JD to find his father, Trollzart, and even gives him directions to both Pop Village/Trollstopia and Symphonyville. JD plans to first stop by Pop Village to find his brothers and then he'll get "this Trollzart dude", as he still believes they are the best shot at the family harmony.

JD interrupts the wedding to ask about Branch like normal, now that the letter was a bust. Poppy tells him Branch just left a bit ago to return home to Symphonyville. JD, at this point, doesn't actually know what Symphonyville is or that it implies Branch is living with a whole other type of Trolls. So he just goes "GREAT! That's where the fancy dude I found also lives. Maybe Branch knows him!" He explains a bit more to Poppy and she has to tell him that WAS Branch he found.

JD insists she's mistaken ("No you didn't see this guy, he was a real fancypants nerd type and Bitty's just a baby") but Branch's friends all confirm that that's what Branch is like now. He still doubts it as he was told to find his 'father' and it's not possible for Branch to mean THEIR dad. Meeting the Classical Trolls he's even more confused because what is UP with these dudes?

Trollzart's instantly worried to hear Branch has been kidnapped, as well as upset with John Dory. "You just LEFT him there? Ah well I suppose the notion isn't foreign to you." But he's willing to do whatever it takes to save his darling boy.

The trip to find Bruce is tense as John Dory had been the patriarch of the family, and now some fancy dressed baby man who talks like he swallowed a dictionary (JD's words, not mine) is trying to claim he's Branch's dad?

When they get to the island, Bruce doesn't want to even listen to John Dory until Trollzart yells out "For heaven's sake, isn't there a single one of you who cares about dearest Branch?!" That gets Bruce's attention and he demands to know what's up. He wants to help but he's still a bit confused on Trollzart's role in this.

Since Branch isn't there, it's slightly thanks to Trollzart they find Clay. Bruce and John Dory are arguing back and forth and Trollzart remarks to Poppy that despite the glass he can "Smell the stench of those foul undergarments just as well as he could from a mile away". Poppy gets the idea to use them for Rhonda and they arrive at the Hole N Fun.

Clay initially is pretty cool with Trollzart, as he's "hardcore serious" but when it's clear that Trollzart has a grudge he gets defensive.

The brothers have no clue how to find Floyd but thankfully they don't need to. Floyd also received the letter and he meets up with them outside of Mount Rageous.

The group attempts to practice, resulting in their fighting. Floyd attempts to break it up, cue the line about going their separate ways. It's Trollzart who gets upset this time. "Ah what a displeasure it is to see the four of you reprising your star roles. Though it is my first time seeing it, my beloved son has described that dreaded day that I myself am experiencing deja vu witnessing this. Truly if the world is a stage you are most befitting of the villainous role. One must wonder what it must be like to care so little about anyone other than oneself, it must surely be quite liberating to not feel the least bit of sorrow at the thought of the infant you left behind."

Trollzart joins the fight, telling the brothers about what a joy Branch is to have as a son and doesn't reveal Branch's trauma but does imply Branch HAS trauma and its their fault. Trollzart tells them they don't deserve the option of a second chance and he leaves and tells Poppy he'll attempt this 'perfect family harmony' his own way.

Trollzart and Branch duet for the perfect family harmony, with Brozone playing more of a supporting role. I'm thinking it'd be sort of a broadway type of song. Kinda like 'Not While I'm Around' from Sweeney Todd or 'Dear Theodosia' from Hamilton, a little bit 'Slipping Through My Fingers' from Mamma Mia, even. If Classical Branch was an actual Trolls movie I'd probably make them hire that Lin Manual guy that @dialga64bitz keeps sending me pictures of in my submissions box to write the song.

And uh, yeah. That's about how it'd go I imagine.

DW Season Finale Spoilers and rant about treatment of female characters ahead!

Still not over just how much the writers shot themselves in the foot in that last episode???? Like. Okay. Belinda is one of the few characters in New Who who, as a woman, isn't defined by any romantic interests at all, isn't in love with the Doctor, AND is consistently telling the Doctor that she isn't interested in being his companion. Then they just shove her into a mother role in the last episode of the season and completely retcon the entire season's set-up so that her reason for wanting to get home now is to be with her (and the Doctor's) child. Fuck her autonomy and free will I guess because women can only ever be romantic interests or mothers 🙄

And it's made even WORSE when the premise of the finale is a right-wing asshole creating Sexism World out of his cosmic wish, which the narrative acknowledges is unsustainable and oppressive, in which Belinda (and every other woman) is FORCED into the role of a housewife and mother, and we're supposed to believe that even when out of the influence of the wish, Belinda STILL only cares about her (wish-generated) child and is willing to completely give up her life and autonomy and be locked in a metal box forever and not help the Doctor defeat the antagonists because.... why??? And we're supposed to root for this??? We're supposed to say hooray that the beautiful openly gay man and independent woman want to conform to the nuclear family model? And then at the end of the episode, she doesn't even say anything or care when the Doctor just DNA scans her child in front of her without asking her????? It's like they just completely forgot who Belinda is over the course of just 8 episodes 😭

It pisses me off that even when the Doctor is an explicitly gay man, the writers STILL can't manage to conceive of female characters who aren't either in love with him or taking care of him in some way.

And then Ruby also gives Conrad a whole speech about how his world is nice, actually, and oh he just wanted people to have a family and isn't it so sad that he's in pain too :(. Like yeah this is Doctor Who, she's not gonna just kill him, but come on. The writers just fridged a strong female character so they can make her a mother figure, and then you're gonna entertain the idea that Conrad's world is a kind alternative, too? And he never faces ANY consequences for what he did. Ruby doesn't even scold him for it! We know he just gets to go be a happy chef somewhere, but we don't even hear about Ruby again after the Doctor goes on his Poppy side quest? What happened to her?

Not to mention also fridging the Rani for no fucking reason! Like they built up Omega as this powerful antagonist and then have him show up, literally just EAT the Rani because we can't have an interesting woman around apparently, and then the Doctor defeats Omega unceremoniously with his fucking Science Gun? Why did Omega have to be a big rotting corpse who's there for 30 seconds and then dies??? They could have done literally anything else with the concept of the original timelord? And the Rani!!! She gets no resolution!!!!! She barely gets to be a mad scientist!!!! And the Mrs Flood!Rani just runs off!!! And then they waste the rest of the episode's run time with the Poppy subplot. If they needed a reason for the Doctor to regenerate, they could have just had him get injured fighting the Rani and/or Omega! Or literally anything else!

It just pisses me off because Ncuti Gatwa does a really great job portraying the Doctor! It's just that the material is holding him back! They waste so much time on random, mediocre nothing plots within the 16 episodes that they have him. There are like 2.5 episodes where they really explore what it means for the Doctor to be a gay, black man and then they kill him unceremoniously. And they didn't even make Poppy a timelord in the end! I get that a lot of DW is about the importance of a single human person, but they fully destroyed Belinda's character for a nothing resolution. Doesn't she matter? They're always approaching something cool or meaningful with these two seasons, and get really close, and then drop the ball so hard. They keep throwing in references and whatnot to the OG RTD/Tennant era like they're using nostalgia to replace actual, good writing. Maybe it's just Disney holding them back, because I can't think of another reason that they'd spend so much money producing this.

Wally and the Colour RED

Wally and the colour Red have an interesting relationship in Welcome Home. This is a rambling/analysis of different things I've found that makes me believe it's an important detail moving forwards with the Welcome Home Mystery!

First! Why do I think this matters?

There's a few reasons why I think this matters! First, while all the members of the cast seem to be tied to a colour, none is as focused or as consistent as Wally and the colour red! The two primary examples I'll use to cover this is one that we've had for a while, and two that we got in this update. Those being the signatures at the bottom of the guestbook, the interactable telephone, and the name graphics on the transcript page!

Interestingly, all of the cast are directly tied to a specific colour! The signatures at the bottom of the Guestpage and the colours of the "calls" on the telephone are the same for each character. This being pink for Julie, orange for Sally, yellow for Frank, green for Poppy, turquoise for Howdy, blue for Barnaby, purple for Eddie, and red for Wally. This is consistent (and possibly something to pay attention for in the future?)

Notably however, Home is signed by Wally, while the audio file for Wally's "call" recording is also called "duet" when you open it in another tab. Audio files with "duet" is a sign that Home is present. This means that red is not strictly a Wally colour, but also the colour for Home!

(if you're curious, the other audio called "duet" is Wally's little song he sings)

This is interesting, because Wally and Home are often treated as a duo, moreso than any other characters of Welcome Home. I would also like to point out another detail, one that I think ties into this tie between Wally, Home and the colour red.

The Records

All the records from Wally's hidden message ("I will help you understand neighbor, I will find a way soon.") are red! Sure, some are glitched, but they are all red. As is this record with the strange audio (has anyone decoded this yet?). This audio is directly tied to Wally, as it's called "(DRAWING?) WITH WALLY DARLING".

However the hidden one's may not just be Wally. Though they are all name the tab "answer" when opened, I'm tempted to say that "answer" is wally prompting us to answer (or, alternatively, Wally is trying to answer us, however he perceives us).

I believe that Home is there too in the audio. If you listen to all of them in a row, turning up the audio will reveal that there is a heart beat in the background. This, I want to say, is Home and not Wally, as Wally does not seem to register them. It peaks about halfway through with Neighbor, coincidentally the audio that is both glitching and is made of a series of clicks rather than voice lines.

I have seen people say that this is "Help Me" or "Hello" in morse code. I do not know which is the agreed translation is (to me it sounds like "…. . ..-.. .. -.. ---", which translates to "HEĘIDO", which is not a word. However it most resembles "…. . .-.. .-.. ---" which translates to "HELLO")

Regardless of what Home may be saying, it shows that the hidden recordings can be put together into a timeline that sounds like one recording, which means it's most likely all recorded at the same place. Ergo, Home is in the hidden recordings as well!

Other spots where red is brought up

There are other instances of red being tied to Wally. Some are obvious, like his love of apples (red ones specifically), the Wally prints/finger paint on the bottom of the guestbook, the background of the "i <3 Wally" gif/sticker in the sticker section of the site (also shared with Home. Wally's character description is also shared by home!), Wally himself in the "so-below" page, among other things. Such as the Wally themed telephone being red, despite his more iconic blue swirled hair (or blue and yellow-trimed sweater), his clothing in multiple official artworks, the Wally cereal box, and more.

(Like something I've noticed, which is that Home is the only house that's a solid colour (red!) without any pattern breaking it up, plus the most "standout" red that Wally typically wears being tied around his neck (symbolism?). Plus the "W" of Welcome Home is red! That's fun too!

There's also some... stranger ones. Such as this hidden piece of morse code found by this person, which spells out ".. -- .-. . -..", or "IM RED" when translated to english.

And more hidden ones too, that tie into the hidden staff page (I have a post breaking that down that you can find here!! I cover everything I could find plus went through the website code, if you want to know everything about the secret staff site check it out!)

There is the red safe, which has in WHRP universe lore!! I delve into this in my other post, just know that it is something that exists both in the secret website (it is what introduces you to the hidden website!) AND it exists in the WHRP world, both written about in printed emails and as a physical object seen within The Room:tm:. You may also notice everyone is represented by their original colours, except for home, who is now white (or blank?).

There's also scrap pieces of red paper spilled on the ground in The Room:tm: (that have drawn spirals), a red clock in the style of Wally's red car, a red painting of some sort on the wall of The Room:tm: (that we never get a good look at, though it may have a drawn yellow eye in the upper center), a red apple, and most importantly of all, this:

The Red Notebook

This is no ordinary notebook. This here is the notebook that the WHRP team have "loaned" the Question Answerer, also known as the Head Curator of Question Answer! according to the printed emails. This book is very important because there are multiple signs that it was written by Wally. Inside is a sketchpad attached to the lefthand interior bookcase with little paintings and a handprint suspiciously similar to that on the bottom of the GuestBook page and doodles in the styles Wally has used (spirals, finger paint smiley face, the drawn apple, etc).

(by the way, if you're interested in what the note says the most accurate translation I've found is by Tumblr user truckfreaks

"Hello,

My name doesn't matter. I am here to catalogue something I'm not sure is fully real. But it must be. I'm holding all the evidence in my hands. Pictures. Characters. Text I can barely read. It's called "Welcome Home" and it looks like it might've been a children's book? Like I said, I can't tell.

It was sopping wet when I found it. When I first reached into one of the brightly colored envelopes, my hand was already covered in some gross, [unknown - possibly “oozing”] material. It feels like antiques are always covered in some kind of grime. I'm trying to clean up what I have and do a little more digging.

There's only one name I can make out right now... Wally. Probably important, but like I said, I'll keep looking.

XOXO"

The wrap up (don't want to make this too long!)

Regardless of what you make of this, it shows that there is even more proof of Wally, not just the character but the Wally ""haunting"" the website and the Wally within the WHRP universe, all being tied to the colour red. (Quick clarification: The Wally we see in branding, clips of the show, etc are all Wally, however he isn't current Wally. He is the Wally of the past, the original Wally, the base Wallly, whatever you want to call him. Therefore I separate him from the "now" Wally. It's unconfirmed whether the Wally that's seemingly trying to communicate with us through the website is the same as the Wally that seems to be related to all the objects being sent to Question Answerer, who is the same Wally that is constantly calling them. If so, then there is only one "now" Wally. If they are separate, then there are two, possibly one in the website itself and one focusing on Question Answerer. Please note, this is all speculation).

While it's true that red is Wally's favourite colour, I believe that it's far more than just that tying Wally and the color red together. Going forwards, anything red that isn't immediately branded as a Wally related object should be considered important, at least I think so.

As for the connection between Wally and Home, both sharing the colour Red? I think this primarily is a display of how the two characters either rely on each other or are, in the vaguest of ways, tied together by fate.

Good bye for now!

[stormblessed95]

Do you know I feel sorry for Winter. Put aside whatever the truth may be, she’s been getting so much hate since last Friday it’s unreal. All from PJMs, JJks and KTHs. For whatever reason. All on her socials, and for what? Because some dumb ass k poppie shippers decided that attending the same concert, along with three other members of BTS, means they have been dating since 2023.

This women is barely 24 years old. She looks extremely sweet and she doesn’t deserve what is likely barking old women ragging at her for wearing a hat, or going on a group schedule at the same time as two members of BTS.

Now if the posts from MYs are correct she spent the day with her manager when her band mates went to Disney. Her stans say these girls are overworked, also they had a group schedule two fans meets, and performance at an awards show, tell me they wouldn’t have been practicing. Why would JK be there? Who would ever think that is something he would do, or that she would want. She is long into her career. Especially when her member Karina had a scandal last yea, and she in December. Be serious.

The lengths that people go to to try and disprove Jikook is unhinged. Hating on people that have nothing to do with Army or BTS. Yes he went to their concert, so what. G Dragon was there too, he was also at GMP airport on Friday, is he dating a member of Aespa? All these links, all the reaching.

Heck at least we jikookers try and tone it down, we question and try and use facts as best as possible. Less of the delulu. Why? Because we know our two are enlisted together. We know they chose each other. We know that they travelled together before said enlistment. We know Jungkook did Jimin centred lives. We don’t need to make shit up. We don’t need to say that he said bye in a cute way at the end of a live because she was watching, or that he named his instagram bow wow bc it rwd something she’d put in a instagram. Heck didn’t he help name a dancers YouTube channel, or something and named something the same and people shipped them? Again, the delusional reaching.

Because here is some advice to anyone reading this and shipping them, or him with x y and z. Or any season you can think of. When you enter a relationship with someone who only has eyes for someone else. Who claims to be dating you and travelling with his friend, his co worker, and snuggling in bed and slapping his ass, or rushing home from the airport to cook said person a meal, and not you, especially when he’s seeing and flying out somewhere with them the next day. Have some self respect and leave him. Or them. If you think that that is something JK would do to a partner, or something Jimin would do to his friends partner, you can’t think highly of them at all. It would make them terrible human beings. Because no this is not like acting, this is real life.

Because to most homophobic k poppie shippers of course it is far more likely than two male band mates, or a potentially queer girl, to be together (even though we have never seen them together aside from the HS concert, and again even then he was there with Tae, Yoongi, Namjoon I believe, and Nicole, who he is also so often shipped with).

So yeah, just think before making such grand assumptions and leaps. Not everything is as it seems, that’s for sure, but sometimes the simplest explanation is the right one. And Jimin leaving for Tokyo and JK flying out the next day is more likely than anything else, anyone else they might have met there, be it Winter or that model.

You can tell the new DW ep was jam packed bc I made a long ass post about it and still didn't get to the one thing everyone is complaining about

Tbh I didn't dislike Belinda's story ending as much as everyone else clearly does so I'll just go through each complaint and explain why for each one

1) a woman being happy to have a kid isn't automatically a misogynistic ending

I don't know why ppl keep acting like her entire life was taken over by being a mother Just bc she has a kid now doesn't make everything else disappear ppl are acting like they are glorifying her being forced to be a good little wife and mom in the wish world is somehow the same and just as bad as her having a kid now in the new tl when the problem was always about autonomy and the idea that women are only good for being a wife or mother that does not mean motherhood=bad Belinda chose to keep being Poppy's mom and that doesn't negate her being a strong independent woman or whatever

2) Belinda has always been family oriented

It feels strange to me that ppl act like this is wildly out of character for her Yes, she has made it clear from the beginning that she is no one's object and takes her autonomy very seriously but she has said so many times that her biggest worry is getting home to her family Obviously it was just her parents in the original tl but it expanded to include poppy in the new one The new tl does not negate everything that came before bc the problem was always that she was torn from her home against her will and was forced to travel with a man she didn't know or trust bc he was her only way home

3) Belinda was kind of sidelined in the finale but it was in line with her character

Like I also wish there was more for her to do but she has always been the type of person that focuses on helping the people instead of confronting the threat or pulling crazy stunts like ruby The person who needed the most help was obviously poppy so of course she was there for her I fully believe Belinda would have been the one in that box regardless of whether she was the mom or not It's just unfortunate that the story of the ep was focused so much on defeating the villain and left her with only that much to do

4) The new tl doesn't negate the old tl

I keep seeing ppl saying things like, "oh so she can't want to go home unless there's a kid" and I feel like that's kind of reductive like she already wanted to go home without there being a kid as a reason the whole season That's literally the point She didn't have a kid the whole time It's just that the tl was rewritten to make it so that she always had a kid Both tls were real idk why ppl are acting like this is some big twist implying that she was always trying to get home to her daughter but that isn't the case The doctor broke the tl to allow poppy to exist and we watched the tl change around him to accomodate her

Anyway, I understand why ppl are upset about things like this or Ruby forgiving Conrad but I don't feel angry about those things even if I dislike them mainly because we have so many female characters with different types of endings like Mel and Kate are both older women who seemingly have no plans of having kids and Kate obviously did get angry and seriously maim Conrad The characters are allowed to be different and make choices I don't like or agree with It would be boring otherwise RTD has always written his characters like that with at least one unlikable trait or choice and I have and will always enjoy it

DOCTOR HARLEY SAWYER IS ALIVE?

I know many of you think that Doctor is dead and the way he tried to convince us that Poppy is not as good as she may seem was just a desparate attempt to persuade us not to kill him. It could be this but it definitely didn't come from fear.

Doctor never showed fear even when he was threatened by Prototype. He actually never seemed to be scared of experiments even if it was reckless for staff and guards to go to them alone. He's not only egotistic but acts as if his experiments is what will save humanity. He seems to actually believe that this is true hence why he says something along the lines that if he isn't in the right what was the meaning of all of this? All the experiments, all the sacrifices would be for nothing. Also in his secret recording he said that he gives kids a purpose they wouldn't have normally. There's more to that recording but I'll talk about it in a different post.

Anyway, people could say that Doctor was desparate to show us that his mind is too important that his knowledge is too precious to lose. And even if this fits his character it contradicts with what was happening in his boss fight. People were surprised with how little damage Doctor's robots were causing to us. It almost looks like he didn't want to kill us. But why if he knew that we will kill him? Definitely not because he wanted to die like I saw a few people speculated. It wouldn't fit his character at all.

People think that he died blinded by his ego which could make sense if it wasn't for a fact that he saw what we're capable of and he didn't do his best to stop us from killing him.

The big advantage that Doc has is his intellect. We can see how good at observation he is. Harley was able to predict that Poppy will betray us and that our attempts to help will be fruitless. Everything Doctor told us was in reference of what was yet to come. And his last line drives the point home. "You saved no one."

Then again you could say that if Harley was played by higher-ups why he couldn't be played by us as well? The thing is that Sawyer is more than likely the most intelligent character in Poppy verse. Throughout whole ARG and even more in chapter 4 it was pointed out to us time and time again that Harley Sawyer is a genius. Hence why Elliot Ludwig felt bad about throwing Harley out from Young Geniuses Program and hence why higher-ups didn't kill him but put his mind into a computer.

So how Harley Sawyer ended up like that if he's such a genius? Well I think that he didn't expect them to turn him into one of experiments cause he knew that more than likely he'd lose his genius and he knew that Leith would never allow this to happen. Hence why Harley assumed his safe. But the thing is that they didn't turn him into a regular toy but put his mind into a computer.

But thanks to the fact that Doctor had his intellect still intact it meant that he's still the same genius he always was.

Now there's one thing that stood out to me but I didn't see people ever talking about which is how Prototype was able to do the Hour of joy without a help of someone who had access to things. Just like the warden at prison told Harley. Some people speculated it was Stella but I doubt that. Doctor said it was Prototype but the way he said his name sounded as if Harley knew about the Hour of joy way before.

I know that Doctor didn't have any access to anything before obtaining omni-hand but he still could see things but without having a way to do things. What if he was able to find a way to communicate with Prototype via monitors? We all assumed that Prototype was tampering with tapes and all but what if it was Harley actually? At that time we assumed it was Prototype cause we didn't know about Doctor yet. Also I don't know if any of you remember how Elliot's face was blocked or blurred on tapes? I think that Harley did that because he couldn't stand looking at Elliot's face. It's obvious as day that he hates Elliot with passion.

Another thing is that we know that Harley had something against Playtime Co. before he was turned into a computer due to Elliot's betrayal. It wouldn't be surprising if he wouldn't mind if the rest of higher-ups and rest of lab scientists would die because the only thing that was important for him was his intellect. As long as he'd survive nothing else mattered. And when he got betrayed by higher-ups I wouldn't be surprised if he decided to lead to their downfall.

But let's get to the point of this post. How Harley could still be alive? The most obvious hint is that he said his last line after we fried his brain which shouldn't be possibile.

Another thing is if he was digitalized in some way already why wouldn't he be able to transfer his consciousness into another device? He's a genius. He knows a lot about neurosurgery. I saw a few people saying that maybe Doctor transferred himself to omni-hand. It may sound crazy but he could transfer himself into the omni-chip. It makes sense when you consider that the last thing we used omni-hand for was opening labs which is a location Prototype didn't want Harley in. Which is some coincidence, huh? Also some people including myself heard Sawyer's laugh in the distance at the end of chapter.

My bold statement is that it'll turn out that Doctor outsmarted Prototype. Thanks to us he'll end up in labs just like he wanted and plus it'll be against Prototype's wishes.

I saw many theories about how Prototype wants to use us and he lured us to the labs but honestly I doubt that. I think that Doctor is the one who lured us to labs. Why I think so? It's because Prototype wanted us dead. We survived thanks to Kissy. But it's clear as day that Prototype wanted to get rid of us. It'd be too convoluted of a plan if he set up explosives and hoped that we'd survive the explosion. Also let's not forget that Prototype as Ollie in chapter 3 said that we "chose our side" and he sounded not so much amused by that. Which in my opinion is good as confirmation that he wanted to get rid of us but after he tricked us to do the dirty work for him.

Another bold statement of mine is I think that Doctor is the one who wanted us to end up down in the labs. He knew what we were able to survive. He tested us. We passed. Thanks to that he knew that we'll survive whatever Prototype had set up for us. And Doctor's line "It appears you are every bit what the Prototype fears." is confirmation of that. Harley knew Prototype would try to get rid of us sooner or later hence why he wanted to test us.

After all Sawyer's alliance with Prototype was weak which is confirmed by what Sawyer said during his boss battle - "I'll bury myself so far down that no one will ever find me. Not you. Not The Prototype. Not anyone."

This leads me to believe that Doctor wanted to fake his death not so much to trick us but to trick Prototype.

And even if Harley was even more limited by Prototype and the latter didn't inform Sawyer about most of his plans it only shows how much more of a genius Doctor is if he was able to deduce what Prototype will use us and how Poppy will act. After all he knew that Poppy will betray us.

Which leads to another important implication. If Harley knew or was able to deduce what will happen that Poppy will betray us that we'll fail that we'll take omni-chip which killed him why the hell he let that happen? And if he didn't trust Prototype why he basically let Prototype to kill him? Because Prototype also wanted us to take omni-chip so he could make a bomb out of the generator in Safe Haven. And most likely Prototype knew taking omni-chip would kill Sawyer. And Sawyer is too smart to not connect the dots so why he let it happen? That's why I think that Doctor wants Prototype to think that he got rid of him by faking his own death.

All of the things I pointed out lead me to believe that Harley Sawyer is alive and probably we helped him get to the labs.

I wish more people focused on Doctor because he has more to offer than it may seem. But many gave up on his character due to how they were disappointed in his boss battle. I think that it was intentional on Mob Game's part to make Doctor seem to be not as dangerous as he actually is. I also heard that one of CEOs (Zach maybe) said that Sawyer is the scariest character in Poppy. We didn't see too much of it hence why I think there's more to his character than it may seem.

Also it's impossible for a genius like Doctor to die so easily and also if he did so it'd look like he let us kill him and let to be played by Prototype which doesn't fit his character at all.

And let's be honest why would Harley survivng be impossible with rules of pseudo-science?

[xryptik]

i think you’re the one who knows hella about poppy playtime… can you please yammer about chapters 3-4 to me i watched the gameplay and couldnt focus and im a super lost

EYAIYEBABHKS

im going to assume that youre confused about the lore? so i will do my best to be super coherent okay

spoilers below?? ig

we are introduced to the smiling critters and catnap, at the beginning of chapter three through a commercial. one that appears very unsettling as it shows catnap, one of the smiling critters, releasing red smoke in the room per the others requests, sending them into hysterical laughter, before it cuts to them all asleep, with only catnap awake. it then reveals the controversy surrounding the release of catnap; with children experiencing awful nightmares as they sleep beside their catnap doll. it's then that catnap is recalled and erased entirely from the smiling critters line.

so chapter three gameplay starts off after the train crash that ended chapter two. we get our first look at catnap, the main antagonist of chapter three, here, as he drags us off and dumps the player down what is soon revealed to be the trash compactor. the play scrambles to escape being crushed here.

as the player progresses, they eventually are introduced to ollie, who contacts them over a phone the player finds. he introduces himself as a friend of poppy, and says he'll be your guide or help. he tells us where to go to get through playcare, catnap's turf, and asks us not to be too mad at poppy for not letting us leave.

this is how we find ourselves at the heart of it all, an underground area built to house children, orphans ─ it has a school, a play area, and so much more. but its abandoned, with only catnap to roam the area; it's his turf and he won't be happy that you're here.

so let me explain who catnap is ─ he's another one of the children who was forced under experimentation; turned into something, after an accident that occurred leaving him gravely injured.

he worships the prototype, because according to rumor, the prototype once saved him; which is true, as catnap, before he was catnap, once tried to escape playcare under the prototype's guidance, only, it backfired, and he was badly injured in the process. and the prototype, for a reason we dont understand (did he care? was he feeling guilt? or perhaps did he believe the boy could still be of some use to him?) saves him, bringing him to be treated and saved, which is a term i use very loosely.

since then, catnap has been completely loyal to the prototype, worshipping him like a god, and getting rid of anyone who stands in his way.

the player is led then, to the gas production zone, where they are told they must redirect the red smoke; a dangerous gas that will cause anyone who breathes it in to fall unconscious, and experience awful nightmares. only before the player can finish doing so, the power is cut off.

so they are directed to home sweet home, where a backup generator is. this is where the player experiences the effects of the red smoke firsthand, falling unconscious and into a nightmare that doesn't seem so fake at first. the player wakes after being chased by huggy wuggy, the first antagonist in chapter one, in their dream.

upon exiting home sweet home after restoring the backup generator, they are grabbed by who is soon revealed as kissy missy. an ally who shares a strong resemblance to the previously mentioned huggy wuggy, with only a difference in color to her. the player is also reunited with poppy, who seems rather close to kissy missy. alongside poppy and kissy missy, you guys turn on the power.

shortly after this, they are directed to the school. they need one more backup generator in order to power the gas production zone. this is where ollie attempts to warn us about someone living in the school, but connection is cut off, leaving us wondering if whoever roams the school is friend or foe. we find out later, when miss delight, the antagonist who was once a teacher, having consumed her sisters and found a friend in the weapon she carries, destroys the backup generator and chases the player throughout the school.

during the chase, miss delight pauses whenever the player looks at her ─ this is explained in one of the many notes scattered about the school, as she believed standing still makes her seem dead, allowing her to get a sudden drop on her victim.

the player is able to kill miss delight and escape into the cave system; and it is here, that the player sees catnap again, standing in front of what is soon revealed to be a shrine of toys, dedicated to the prototype.

as the player progresses, they make it to the playhouse, where they are briefly introduced to what remains of dogday, the last of the smiling critters, minus catnap. he refers to the player as poppy's angel. he warns them of what lurks in the playhouse and explains how catnap views the prototype as his god. he is then cut off when small stuffed smiling critters crawl into him and take over what was left of him.

when the player manages to escape the playhouse, ollie contacts them again. because miss delight destroyed the school's backup generator, the player must instead activate the other backup generator in the counselor's office. he warns them of catnap, telling them that he hunts his prey, hiding in shadows and taking away anything the player can use to defend themselves.

catnap does just that once the player has activated the generator and tried to leave the counselors office. he warns them. telling them to leave playcare or he'll come for them. ─ the player doesnt listen.

ollie calls them again, urgent as he says something is wrong and that they need to hurry to the gas production zone. they are given a large battery, that they will be able to use to power up the machine. however, before they can do that, catnap appears ambushing them.

this then starts off the final boss against catnap. at the end of it, when the player burns catnap, the prototype appears as its usual bony mechanical hand, killing catnap and taking his body for himself.

the player is able to continue their original mission of transferring the red smoke, and poppy finally reveals to them what happened to their coworkers. ─ "the hour of joy" she called it; under the prototypes control and lead, the toys lashed out, killing everyone in the process. it shows many of the toys the player has met, and many the player hasnt. while everyone as playcare was killed, workers, those who knew what was really happening in the shadows and those who didnt. but she reveals the kids were not killed; instead they are located deep in playtime. we dont know why the prototype kept the children alive, but we assume we'll learn that as more chapters are released.

she tells them they have to go to deeper, to really stop the prototype.

the chapters ends when poppy and the player are beginning their descent deeper into playtime, with kissy remaining at the top. only, we then hear kissy begin to screech, as if in pain, with poppy yelling for her and reversing the elevator back up.

in chapter four, it is revealed that kissy was attacked by the prototype, although she survived, it left her rather damaged.

in chapter five we are introduced to more of the story; more lore. while above, we never saw any bodies or signs of the true horror that took place on the hour of joy but below is where the player gets a real glimpse into what happened. bodies litter the floors, decomposed and mostly bone, with many posed in odd positions.

we meet the doctor, the main antagonist of this chapter. it is revealed that the doctor was once a person as well, the one who experimented on all the toys you have met; the brain behind the horrors the children turned into toys experienced. he created them all, catnap, huggy wuggy, mommy longlegs.

but at some point, his superiors deemed him to be getting out of hand; and they trapped him in the mind of a computer. organs scattered about and kept safe but easily able to be destroyed. despite being a very big contributor to playtime and all that the prototype hated, he was spared, and he became an ally of sort to the prototype.

the player is considered a plaything to the doctor; forced to deal with all that the doctor throws at them in claims of games. they survive and are introduced to what may very well be considered the doctor's lapdog, yarnaby. the player must navigate backrooms while avoiding yarnaby; but they get help by what appears to be stretchy colorful arms that unlock doors and distracts yarnaby.

the mysterious help is revealed to be doey, a toy made of multi-colored dough, or clay. he's friendly towards the player, introducing himself as an ally to poppy, explaining that he was told of the player arriving.

doey is a toy unlike the rest ─ as he is a mixture of three children, kevin, jack and matthew. the three personalities of these children clash, but they have managed to find a middle ground. but we still see the differences in glimpses of doey's personality.

matthew, the oldest of three, was considered the "dream child" of playcare. but his age proved difficult to their experiments, as he was fifteen, much too old for anyone to want to adopt. he cared deeply for all those around him, acting as a role model and big brother to the other children. he seemed to be who mostly took over when it came to doey; he was the one who led the survivors and chose to care for them. he was gentle and caring.

and then there's kevin; he was considered a problem child. he was aggressive and had many behavioral issues. he often lashed out, even at those he considered friends. his personality is shown sometimes when doey gets angry, despite being rather level-headed and calm. this shows when poppy admitted to unintentionally leading the prototype into the area surrounding safe haven; getting angry before eventually calming himself down.

and then theres jack, the youngest, and the only child who was not a part of playcare, or an orphan. he was actually a child who visited playtime alongside his parents on a tour but was caught in an accident after falling over a ledge into dough processing machines. the scientists added him to the experiment of doey; while it saved his life, it pulled him away from his parents. who doey later killed when playtime reached out to them about their experiment on their son. his personality shines in doey's carefree and energetic nature, mostly when the player first meets doey.

he leads the player to what is known as the safe haven; a place where toys who werent under the prototypes control lived safely, protected and led by doey.

we reunite with kissy and poppy; the extent of kissy's injuries is revealed to the player, and we also learn that the prototype has followed kissy and poppy down, ultimately led to the safe haven.

we also learn that, despite poppy once being a good friend to doey adn teh many toys in the safe haven, is not someone they trust. she once disappeared on them, and so all trust in her was lost. the toys express deep suspicion in whether or not they can trust poppy and the player.

we learn what happened to the orphans that weren't made into experiments. that they are alive. ─ and this is when poppy reveals her plan; she wnats to rescue the orphans and blowup playtime with the remains of the red smoke, taking the prototype and everything else with him, down.

however, doey expresses his distaste in poppy's plan; blowing up playtime would not only kill the prototype and his allies, but also the toys that called safe haven home, that doey had dedicated much of his existence to protect.

the player is told they must kill the doctor and obtain the omni-hand, a hand that basically controls everything, but before that, they must travel through no mans land. here, they meet many obstacles, including yarnaby again.

when they kill yarnaby the doctor expresses that the player, is in other words, an anomaly to him. the doctor does not remember the player ever working at playtime, and says the player is everything the prototype fears.

the player meets many more obstacles as they attempt to kill the doctor; but ultimately, they succeed when they destroy the doctor's organs, like his lungs and brain, before finally destroying his heart and obtaining the omni hand. before the doctor perishes however, he makes one last claim to the player ─ that they have saved no one.

when the player returns to safe haven, ollie reaches out to them, panicked as he explains that the prototype is outside safe haven. doey goes out to distract the prototype, while the player is asked to fix the generator. ─ they managed to do so under ollie's guidance, but doey does nto return. despite this, poppy encourages the player to continue with teh plan.

so they player heads out, obtains mining charges and plants them just as poppy had told them to, redirecting the smoke as they were ordered as well. after setting it off, they flee, where they then run into a panicked doey, who explains that he lost the prototype.

only then does both the player and doey realize what happened ─ the prototype had led doey away from safe haven on purpose.

theres an explosion from the direction of safe haven, adn doey rushes over. teh player follows and finds what was left of teh safe haven in smoke, fire, and debris, with bodies of dead toys littered about. with doey gone, the prototype had attacked the safe haven, and doey was not there to protect them; which leaves doey grieving, expressing how he was never meant to be a protector, yet he still tried.

this is the final straw for doey ─ he had lost all he had left. he lashes out, the personalities of all three children he is made of switching between each other. and it is then, that he turns to the player, angry; blaming them and poppy.

he completely loses control of himself, forms into a monstrosity; three heads located in the back of his mouth; representing the three children. he chases the player through the tunnels, before the player has to come to the decision to kill doey ─ using his weakness to the cold to freeze him.

throughout the fight, doey's three personalites become even more obvious ─ matthew expressing how he failed to safe anyone, kevin lashing out about hating poppy and the player, and jack, sobbing about wanting to go home and missing his parents.

the player evntually succeeds in killing doey; who, as he dies, sobs about how he cant trust anyone, his failure to protect and be better, and apologizing for all that he had done ─ another clash between three personalities.

the player reunites with poppy and kissy; and poppy blames the player first, asking why they would kill doey, and assuming they must;ve made a mistake in the plan as she attempts to contact ollie. but instead of ollie responding, it is the prototype; who admits to faking ollie the entire time. while ollie once existed, he no longer does, having been dead for a while, and it was the prototype manipulating ollie's voice as his own to trick both poppy and the player. acting as an ally to manipulate the actions to get ot the point that they are in now.

poppy lashes out at the prototype, and the prototype taunts her and teh player, he threatens to return her to the cage the player once freed her from. and tells her she is not as innocent as she tries to be. poppy, overwhelmed and afraid, runs away, leaving kissy and the player.

he gloats to both of them, "some friend"; before he detonates the remaining explosives. this causes the floor to collapse beneath the player, and while kissy rushes to try and save them, she is unsuccessful when her weakened arm gives into the weight and the player falls further into the facility.

the player then finds themselves in the labs located deep in the underground. here, they find a tape, and as tehy listen to it, the tape reveals that the player should not be there; it is a restricted area, and upon putting the tape in, set off an alarm.

in the shadows the player can see a form, and at first glance, it is assumed to be kissy missy; only when it comes into the light, does the player realize it to be huggy wuggy, who the player thought they had killed before.

and the chapter ends when huggy rushes at the door of the room the player was in.

okay uh i hope that answered your question i did my best </3

A Chance Meeting

At night I was pretty bored and didn't know what to do till I got sleepy so I played a round of Dandy's World to pass the time. It turned out to be the best decision I could've made at that moment.

After the majority of the group died and only me and another player (bearsblushh) were left we started to chat a bit during the run. Especially prompted by the sudden black out in that level (my first black out in Dandy's World). After my toon (Poppy) had also bitten the dust I watched how the other player kept on going, dealing with the black out, the twisted and the machines all by themself and I couldn't help but stay and cheer them on. This lead to us continuing to chat while they played the level along. We chatted about how often other players just wasted other peoples run to just laze around during the game. How rare it is to come across a twisted main toon in early levels. How the toon Yatta became from a common enemy to a rare one and about other topics as well.

It was a normal, relaxing yet enjoyable chat wich is a rare occurence in games such as these. Even as their toon (Looey) had been catched by a twisted, we kept on going and chatted in the level while the twisted kept on strolling around without a toon to chase.

I didn't kept track on how long we were chatting but it sure was some time. I'm sure we would've kept on chatting... if misfortune hadn't struck. At some point, out of nowhere, the message "connection error" appeared on the screen. I desperately clicked on the reconnect button but it just wasn't working. In the end I was sent back to the home screen. I returned to Dandy's World quickly. But of course... bearsblushh was gone.

I was forced to part with them without my consent and without being able to explain or just to say good bye. All I can hope now is that they don't believe I just left without a care and that we can find each other again.

Because of this whole story I got the idea to draw this picture with the iconic Mordetwi (Mordechai & Twilight) reference in my mind. It isn't implied to be anything romantic just that I genuinely felt sad when we were seperated by wacky wi-fi without knowing if we ever came to chat again.

I even took a screenshot of my toon Poppy how she stood there at the entrance, like she was waiting for someone. As I said it wasn't meant in a romantic way but I'm an artist and I couldn't pass up the opportunity. Even with the screenshot telling a made up story of Poppy, standing at the entrance, waiting for her friend Looey who she might never see again. Regardless how many Looeys exited the train, none of them were the "Looey" she knows.

You really could write a fanfiction about this.
