#I feel like I’m grasping at straws

[the-crimson]

I am still so incredibly confused by the lore adventure we went on today.

Code Flippa lead bbh, Max, and Aypierre back into the maze to the one blocked off hallway to find it transformed with black concrete that lead to a cucurucho puzzle, Dapper’s hat, and Bbh’s plane ticket.

Parts of it looked Federation built while others certainly were not. Could this have been created/sponsored by the dark cucurucho?

Ok ok. We discovered the maze when an unknown entity delivered the coords to Tubbo, Slime, and Roier via black concrete. The maze is some kind of abandoned federation facility. It seems that light cucurucho can’t go in meanwhile dark cucurucho is living down there somehow. Then the “space ship” appears and all the eggs start leaving messages with black concrete as if their dimension was leaving traces on this world through the contact. Then code Flippa leads the gang into the maze to find it also corrupted. The message they received about protocol AB was glitchy and the books they found were distinctly not the cururuchos we are familiar with. The cucurucho puzzle’s answer was a cheerleader pin up of cucurucho that lead to black, red, and white dice, Bad’s plane ticket and Dapper’s top hat.

Ok. Theory time, I’m gonna grasp at straws and try to piece things together XD

The structure that appeared is a conduit between the dimensions. It allows the other world to affect this one easier. Where ever this world is is the origins of the code entities. Dark cucurucho is connected to this other world somehow kr has some influence there. We know the codes original goal was to make everyone leave the island. What if this other dimension is a prison/garbage disposal of the federation’s failed experiments?

Luzu’s computer was a link in the beginning that allowed first contact to be made and the first code to cross over. Luzu’s computer was eventually destroyed (by the federation?) and the code lost its form/began to decay (i don’t remember the timeline here). The federation claimed to have some kind of power over the codes and promised they wouldn’t be a problem during the election cycle which makes sense if they are failed experiments. They might have partial control, just enough to neuter them temporarily, as it took a while before the codes attacked again - and when they did they took a new approach.

The codes took the form of the eggs and attacked the presidential candidates. If they want to make the islanders leave/resist the federation so they don’t wind up as more failed experiments then it makes sense the codes would try to kill the candidates. They would want to stop the election from happening because that means the islanders will be even more trapped/less likely to leave.

After the election they turned their focus entirely into Etoiles and getting the code sword and shield. Maybe there is something within this dimension that is incredibly powerful - an old experiment that the federation created this dimension to imprison - that is trying to get out. While in the dimension, nothing can die as this dimension is entirely in code. That’s why the eggs are safe there, why they haven’t needed any tasks done, why their life cycle has paused - because they aren’t corporeal, they’ve been reduced to code and are thus untouchable. The binary entities have been in this dimension for so long they no longer remember what they used to look like.

However, have u noticed that once the codes got one sword, they’ve been able to duplicate them infinitely? Maybe that’s why they wanted the shield back from Etoiles. Within this other world, the codes can create more of those items. Maybe they were using Etoiles to train themselves so that when this powerful experiment breaks free they’ll be able to destroy it? Maybe they were training Etoiles so he’d be able to destroy it? Maybe they are duplicating the op sword and shield so the islanders will be able to kill it? Idk

I got a little side tracked so let’s get back to the maze. The codes have a vested interest in the players Lear ing about this entity if it’s going to break free. Whoever is on the other side brought Tubbo and crew to the maze (was it dark cucurucho?) Within the maze they discovered the transmission confirming that the federation knows why the eggs ran away. Dark cucurucho showed them the wheel and the egg items but we still have no clue what that was. Perhaps this is dark cucurucho’s job, to keep the federation’s mistakes forgotten and it is preparing the players for when the fed’s mistake breaks free via its influence in this other dimension.

Then today we have code Flippa bring us to a part of the maze I think was built/hijacked directly by dark cucurucho. It was a distinctly federation structure that had been renovated with darker colors and black concrete and the books were a scary kind of playful. The cururucho maze makes sense because the dark cucurucho is mocking light cucurucho. Maybe this dark cucurucho is tired of cleaning up after the federation or despises the other cucuruchos because it’s forced to live in the sewers cleaning up their shit.

It knows bbh, what he’s capable of, so it brought him here via code assistance to show him a piece of his past he doesn’t remember. It wants to tear down the federation just like the islanders so it is spreading all the federations dirty laundry for the islanders to see. First confirmation that the federation knows why the eggs left and now bbh’s past visit to the island he doesn’t remember. Maybe dark cucurucho is even aiding in bringing the fed’s monster back so it can destroy the fed itself.

I have no clue I feel like I’m still as confused as when I started writing this XD tell me ur thoughts and theories cuz I’m at a loss lol

How I’m gonna be numb but on the verge of breaking down crying at the same time? Like how the fuck does that work?

[juicybeetz]

Am I the only one that rolled my eyes and sighed in the theater during the Beetlejuice sequel when Lydia said the thing about the 600-year-old age gap between her and Beetlejuice? There were so many other things she could have brought up, like him being gross, or crazy, or… I dunno, dead? That’s the one she came up with? It felt so unnecessary.

still unwell thinking about the mumbo coal miner idea

cause like if we go on the assumption jimmys canary curse was broken in secret life and thus doesn’t exist in wild life (and so theres no canary to warn the miner)

long term acute exposure to certain gasses in the mines can cause irritability and unease, on top of this the gasses are usually highly flammable

and like geez, i wonder who’s been weirdly paranoid and died to an explosion this season 🤔

[em-allay]

Okay so I can’t get this out of my head so I’m going to ramble about it here-

But Mumbo has been in exactly 3 seasons of the Life Series not that he could tell you which ones himself right? Last Life, Secret Life, and Wild Life.

In Last Life, Mumbo and Jimmy died right after each other, both to Grian, in quick succession. Jimmy dying only seconds before Mumbo after attempting to run away which, unfortunately for him, lead to his demise and setting up his canary curse for the following two seasons.

Up until Secret Life. Which is also the season Mumbo became a player once again. Now while Lizzie was the first to die in that season, Mumbo and Jimmy once again died in close proximity and quick succession by the same Warden.

Now we get to the current season, Wild Life, where (spoilers) Mumbo dies at the very end of session 5, once again breaking what we as a fandom fondly call the canary curse.

Now it might be too early to tell, but if Jimmy’s the next one out of the current season (bonus points if it’s to the same/similar method to Mumbo’s) I can’t help but think it’s not a coincidence. It’s like that first joint death with Jimmy all the way back in Last Life somehow cemented Mumbo into a role that he himself isn’t privy to. I can’t help but think it’s not a coincidence that Mumbo had so many chances to get a kill, but hesitated due to not wanting to kill Jimmy, and that the second he went for a kill, it quit literally exploded in his face. It’s almost like the shared deaths with Jimmy linked them in way. It’s almost like the Watchers gave Mumbo a chance to get out, one Mumbo hesitated to take.

Now I don’t think the canary curse is transferring to Mumbo (personal bias but I like Jimmy in that role too much) and it’s most certainly too early to tell at this point. Hell, this could all be proven wrong in a week’s time. Yet I can’t help noticing a pattern setting itself up and I can’t help but link it back to their shared death. If this does prove to be true, the repercussions could be daunting.

I’m having a lot of feelings about it tonight so I just have to say as a Mexican person, it means so goddamn much to me that a Mexican man was cast to play as Luffy in the live action One Piece

And not only that but Taz Skylar being Spanish and playing my favorite character Sanji feels like the biggest treat in the world to me and there’s so many videos of Taz and Iñaki speaking in Spanish to each other and it feels so natural and wonderful and damn do I just love being Hispanic

Los amos a todos!!

[saitamastamaticsoup]

Not to be dramatic but since hiori is blasian in canon I need black x readers asap🗣️ like we are DEF not getting any cultural background on this kid (because they just slid it in there like we weren’t gonna recognize in the first place)not that we have any background on any of these children’s parents but I think he should explain how he feels being mixed in Japan because it’s just really funny having these two in the exact same anime, and they are both black 

This is ABSOLUTELY hilarious 😭

Edit: so I’ve noticed a pattern of EVERY character looking like their mother and barely sharing any resemblance to their fathers so ig he gets a pass for being pale BUT there’s even more melaninated characters so let’s give him some sun too!!🥺

Respectfully; come the fuck on

[akkivee]

once again thinking about my ideal 3rd drb match up and how it’d stack up with plot beats and so far all i got is

🔴💥⚪️: true hypnosis mic opponents, maybe jakurai ends up on a side for further development to save yotsutsuji and that’s against ichiro’s current goal

🔵💥🟠: haven’t quite figured out why, but rei vs samatoki is the angle i’m thinking about

🟡💥🟣: all plot stakes division vs no stakes division lol idk really but i’m leaning towards a bonds angle or if hypmic wants to be real freaky, the side effects angle 🤔

genealogy is suuuuuch a boring and confusing and stressful hobby until all of a sudden u find something that makes soooooo much sense and all the dumb weird pieces start fitting together and u feel like ur meeting urself for the very first time!

Something that makes me happy #34:

My brain isn’t functioning properly rn so this probably makes *zero* sense but I just need to type this out I feel like im going insane

I’m aware this post is just me incoherently rambling about Baylan, Shin and Ragnar but it’s in my head and I need it out of there so that I can sleep, it is currently 1am

—

Okay we all know Baylan and Shin are named after the wolves in Norse mythology that chase the sun and moon, Sköll and Hati, thats an established fact in the fandom. But let’s dive a little deeper into the legend

According to everything that I’ve read, Sköll and Hati chase the chariots of the sun and moon across the sky, and when they eventually catch the celestial bodies, that will trigger the Ragnarök, the end of times.

What’s getting me here is the name of the apocalypse that the wolves will start when they catch the sun and moon. The Ragnarök.

…Ragnar.

There’s a character named Ragnar in The Mandalorian. Ragnar Vizsla, Paz Vizsla’s adopted son, introduced in season three

I- as far as I can tell, everything Filoni does with characters means something. Every naming choice, line of dialogue, means something. But what does this mean- if anything

If I remember correctly too, Ahsoka takes place at the same time Mandalorian S3 is happening, so im sitting here thinking about the two characters named after the wolves that start the Ragnarök and the child with a name two letters away from being Ragnarök, all being introduced within the exact same time period

All three characters clearly have bigger roles to play in future seasons of their respective shows and the upcoming Mandoverse movie, but are those roles gonna be. Connected??

This is sending me down a spiral of incoherent Star Wars thoughts and I’m subjecting everyone else to it cause like- has anyone else thought of this, does this even make sense

I have so many more thoughts about this but I’m gonna shush and not say any more of them, not rn at least. Future post.

going to be clearing up prom’s mains page / ships tomorrow. this isn’t to say I’m dropping any threads, but generally speaking, over the last 6 months or so, I’ve felt more of a hindrance poking to say ‘hello’ on discord or feel like the interest is still there. really not interested in collecting the whole gang this year on his page, I’m more interested in the people that make an effort with me. Out of character communication is vital, even if we don’t talk about our day — even if it’s character based ( some friendships are like that ) but when I’m being literally ignored there comes a point where you go, this ain’t it my dudes. so if you think you fall into the category of ‘oh shit, andrea is the one who always initiates conversation’ ( and no not just on a: damn my life is busy thing. Because yes, with some people they are just that damn busy, but at least I feel some level of engagement and joy when I do speak with those people. ) then the chances are, I’m looking at you buddy! So this is your chance to come at me now if you wanna keep things going!

Again, not a point of in character, take one day or one decade to reply, lord knows I do — but on some level I know I try to poke in every now and then, otherwise, man the mains page is just gonna be a lonely place where people feel discouraged to interact.

I will be making a few small updates to the rules also, but that’s a later andrea update!

[skitterjitter]

I wonder, is Star Rail’s universe based on Neoplatonism and the reason Nous won’t turn his gaze on Ratio because he’s a Stoic? and yes, I know later Neoplatonism incorporates Stoicism, but Ratio seems to be a pure Stoic so there’s gonna be a disconnect

[raylaismad]

why are my friends so silly
