#alib lore

[nico-di-genova]

feel free to ramble about alib alex all you want bc why are you making me love him 🤨

Bestie, you should not have given me permission to do this, because I am going to take you up on this offer and make you fall in love with alib Alex even more.

(Zoom in for little snippets about him if you want, sorry the quality’s probably terrible)

He’s from California (parents still live there, but he stayed in Florida after graduating because his internship turned into a full time job). He was a member of the same frat as Pato when he was still in school, actually held the treasurer position because he’s always just been weirdly good with numbers.

Known as “the cool guy” in that he comes off outwardly very calm, due to his introvert nature. At parties he’s typically the guy standing in the corner with a beer, unless he’s comfortable with you, then it’s a different story.

Raised Christian, says he’s agnostic now, but still has a Christian worldview that meant it took him a while to be okay with his sexuality. Hence, he’s in the unique position of understanding Pato and his struggle with his own sexuality.

Also like Pato, he’s a car guy. He own a McLaren, simple black because he doesn’t want the attention, just wants a car that can go fast. He and Pato go to a lot of car shows, which Pato is very excited about because he knows most of his friends didn’t really care for them. And Alex is excited about being able to go with Pato because he hasn’t really had friends/a partner at all to do stuff with since he graduated.

Lowkey, he got depression. Since he went straight into his career after graduating, and has been working as an accountant for 9 years by the time Pato meets him, he’s feeling very stuck where he’s at. He goes on vacations to get a break from work and he tries to talk to people, but since he usually comes off as brusque or rude he’s kind of a loner (once again, super introverted, just doesn’t easily trust either).

He and Pato start out as just friends, they don’t actually kiss or anything until spring of Pato’s senior year. But Pato spends the night at his place a lot, because of certain plot things happening by his senior year, and the guest room basically just becomes his. Nala, Alex’s dog that he adopted as a puppy, sleeps in the room with most nights and Norbi, Pato’s dog, actually ends up with Alex.

Alex is just a chill guy who’s maybe a little sad, but it’s okay because he has his dog and a cool car.

oh, so many things to choose from because you're one of my favorite friends i've made on here recently 💖

but considering that alib is how we started getting to know each other i'll have to say the little tidbits of alib lore i get fed in my dm's 👀 like the boys going to coachella 👀 fernando getting LIT 👀 alex and pato both coming from religious backgrounds and that clearly informing their relationship 😭 lance walking around in a canadian tuxedo 👀

(i also just love getting to know you through bonding about alex being a weird ass freak 😂 and live chatting with you is one of my favorite things about indycar race week 💖)

want to know something i love about you?

[mysadblacksoul]

Let's talk about Clancy, eh? (plus the livestream)

So I'm watching the livestream (the vod) and I decided to share my opinions about each songs!

without the first 4 singles

But tbh I think I'm an Overcompensate girly, that before hearing the rest of this album this is my top 1

With Backslide as a close second

Wait why should I increase my volume

Oh that's why

It was a trap

Okay Midwest Indigo, let's go I'm so ready

What an outfit Mr Joseph

Omg it's so bouncy

JIM

JENNA

I love the shouty lyrics

This MV is so goofy what the hell

Okay so it's so happy, so funky I love it!

The drums make want to do a lil dance

Hope the next one won't be sad

Yes Tyler, this song will go so hard live, I agree

And yes, put Josh on the mic!

Routines In The Night everybody

Oh so it's the rap one?

It's much less bouncy, but I can still tap my leg to it so I'm fine

You think that this is like the sister song to Ode To Sleep?

The chorous is so catchy what the hell

Yes! Give me those adlibs!

The dances, the visuals, the face card that never declines

What is he eating for Lord's sake

I can't pay attention to the songs when every time one ends those fools pop up on my screen again lol

"not every video is gonna be lore based" my ass

Wait so Routines is not lore oriented? But I see so many references :((((((

Vingette!

So it's a crowd's favourite? Aight

Oh it sound so nostalgic

More rap? okay, okay

Omg the vocals????

It's so different, like I can't predict where are we going with the beat

The bridge is so out of place but so in place???

What is going on

No but I see why they like it, for sure

God I love all the Joshes in the MVs

So Jenna's version will have another MV?

Sounds fun!

Oh it's soft version

So this is a fanmade mv for Jenna, how cute

No for real it is emotional, but in the best way possible

This version is filled with so much love, I can't even explain

The flashbacks to the young dudes? I might cry too

Yeah I se the vision. Like The Craving does feel more "right" played on the ukulele. It gives it much more emotion!

Now you just bully him lol. Tyler has two hands to hold two ukuleles, this is lore guys

Lavish whoo!

Before we start why the hell is the title of this song the only one written in different font in the lyric sheet in the CD, huh?

O damn man in black, get it I guess

The vocals are so dreamy, so different

Another leg mover

Why all of this songs are so catchy are you putting crack in it or what

It's also very chill so far

I also really like the use of the strings, it makes the song more full!

It kind of sounds like a movie soundtrack? Or is it just the MV that makes it feel this way

The silliest MV so far lmao

And seeing the amount of work that went into it makes it even better

And now Navigating!

I have to stop myself from looking for lore

I'm 3 seconds in, why it already sounds like a bop

This might be my new favourite song from this album

The electric guitar? With the synth? 11/10

The chorous is so amazing, simply

Will the bridge be sad or will he scream

Oh come through with this bass

JOSH ISN'T REAL THEORY WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK ARE WE IN THE FOREST FIC

Where did he go irl lmao

No for real it might be my favourite now, sorry Overcompensate

The Bandito one is the real one, write that down

NO I THINK I JUST GOT IT, THE WHOLE LORE MAKES SO MUCH SENSE NOW

What the hell Tyler, we have such a different taste then

Snap Back let's go!

What is going on

I'm like a second in

Oh no, it's broken

Instead of Snap Back premiere we have the premiere of Next Semester (ukulele version)

I'm not mad at all

Okay, let's go for real this time

Oh it's so dreamy

So this is the MV with head shaving lmao

BACKSLIDE, I heard that everyone

The drums are really shining on that song

And I love the contrast between low tone verses and more melodic, high alibs in chorous

The bridge seems sad I fear

Or are we picking up the tempo?

Nah we are putting more adlibs now!

Even better

Oldies station better be nostalgic

And quick question before we start, what the hell did you do to Josh?

Is this ballad?

Soft, fun and with funky vocals!

The lyrics are so beautiful, god

Omg Josh lmao

What a contrast to the song lol

Oh we are switching

I don't know how to justify it, but it feels like such a twenty one pilots song

Like it just makes sense for them to make it

I really like it

Honestly At The Risk Of Feeling Dumb sounds silly from the start

So is the MV

I really like the rollercoaster of the vocals. They are kind of all over the place, but still makes a lot of sense

It's the beat drop on the "drop"

Oh rap some more sure!

Why does he want to fight in every MV

Very fun, very chill and then you have the post chorous that are hard hitting

Love the contrast

Am I crazy or did they use kalimba in the end? I might be wrong tho

That's so sad that we are already finishing

One last track

Paladin Strait whoo!

I'm afraid that this one will be the sad one

The tears producer

The heart clencher

The ukulele strikes back

Love those low vocals

It's a song to sway this time

The drums strikes back

I don't know why it kind of sounds like the end of the western movie. Like after the good ending the cowboy is walking towards the sun, you see my vision?

This song is full of hope, so amazing

God the lyrics sounds like Clancy is finaly free

I might cry

It sounds like good ending to the trilogy

So it feels like a scam

It's too good to be true

But I don't know, maybe after all the ending of this story is good for all of us

What, is the silence in the official audio or is it just the end of the livestream

NO WAIT THERE IS MORE

no

wait guys no

FPE?????

WHO THE HELL

IS IT BLURRY

WHAT THE HELL

Now I need the MV to see what the hell is going on

The End

Nah, I'm not leaving you like this

I still think that Navigating is my fav from the new songs

But I'm gonna go listen to the album some more and then decide for sure

It's a good mix of everything, very twenty one pilots style

I just wished for more rage and screaming, but we need to be calm sometimes, I get it

There isn't a song that I don't like, that's for sure

So yeah! This are my feelings, thoughts (and prayers)

Give me your favourite song in the comments!

Michaels not dead, but apparently like a couple months ago SNF kidnapled him after the Team Seas stream and told no one but Dream. Snf the proceeded to replace Michael with Nichael. Eret and Sam saw the bew name and tgought it was just a glitch but Eret still sent out a message on the discord whether anyone saw the real Michael, which SNF ignored, so they just did lore with Nichael. Dteam today revealed this plot twist and killed Nichael (then had a funeral for him because they got attached).

Anyway Michael is still alibe but is hidden away by Sapnap and George, who are demanding ransom from Eret amd Sam. Eret and Sam have a week to comply or else SNF will murder Michael.

Thank you for explaining.

You know.

As long as Fran is alive and well. I can let go of the others.

Ranboo’s dead and Tubbos been a bit of an absent father.

Perhaps Michael would be better freed at this point. In the nether or afterlife. We will see.

I honestly was just confused due to all the kidnapping and name tags and lore that’s happened since then that I couldn’t figure it out who actually, outside of mucking about, had Michael

Um, it is slightly crazy (and hilarious) to me how much bloodlust Sapnap and George have over this NPC.. Don’t really understand where the animosity comes from. But we move.

Rip Michael. You were a cute child who had a massive fucking house with no furniture but a brilliant chandelier. Sorry your dads dead. You can hang with him in limbo.

Eret, you tried your best. o7 we appreciate you and your efforts.

Sam. Go hide Fran. I fear once Sapnap has taken Michael. He will take her too.

(This is all very lighthearted btw.)

Edit: just to make this more clear. This post is very jokey. Sapnap would not over step boundaries and if he did I’m sure creators would talk to him about it. He wouldn’t kill Fran. We’re all just having a joke about Sapnap’s obsession with killing pets on the server and Fran being the oldest pet.

Headcanons

I have a lot of new headcanons I haven’t put onto my page but this is what I have so far:

The only things we know about Mephir is that he likes red and he likes to be stepped on by Reficul.  

Liking red is a very interesting choice as red is symbolic for love and bloodshed.  I find it an interesting choice because that’s a nice duality I’ve played with and being a demon it makes sense for Mephir to hold a certain obsession of violence.  After all, do you know what’s red? Blood.  

Personally, I have no basis for the way he acts other than looks but I find he’s probably charismatic at the least and maybe even a bit flamboyant since he seems to really like jewelry.

I also believe him to be reminiscent of Mephistopheles.  Fun fact Mephistopheles is a derivative of the Hebrew word Mephir meaning Destroyer. Mephistolphiles is among the seven chiefs of Pandemonium and is keeper of the book of death.  He is known to have knowledge, secrets, sorcery, ambition, hatred, anger, vengeance and war.  He is a companion or servant to Lucifer.

Mephistro is associated with red and is said to have long, red fingernails, which is prevalent in Mephir’s art piece the one that isn’t a sprite gif.

The second point I want to make is that most of the demons in Reficul’s world are all animals/insects. Lowrie, Lzet, Grief, ect.  Mephir’s horns are shaped like an ibex and Refi’s like a ram.

This has relevance.

In conjunction with two friends, I’ve come up with the fact that Mephir more than likely used to be an angel with Reficul and Alibe.   I believe a lot of the demons used to be considering in biblical ‘lore’ demons are fallen angels.

Since Mephisto always admired Lucifer according to one version of mythos.  I believe this is true with Mephir and as a result when things went sour with Elux it was Mephir who sat back and waited for the right time to rebel, while Elux was thinking Lzet would be the first one to do it considering his love for Reficul.  The fact that Lzet undoubtedly covered for her while she was off wandering around or seeing Sin and what have you.  When Reficul was tempted into doing sinful things I feel Lzet covered for her and Mephir helped him make excuses but was never so much in Elux’s bad favor that he got away with his actions.  Then when Mephir sided with Reficul and went against Elux it was a genuine shock to them.

In Paradise Lost and even in some Biblical mythos animals are viewed as lowly beasts of burden.  In old scriptures, Beelzebub is depicted as being the same as the god Ba’al.  Ba’al was cast out and his followers called vermin.  He was referred to as a fly that clings to shit.  Going off of this then Lzet was someone Elux had a particular dislike for, being able to be caught for his ‘misdeeds’.

Devils/demons Elux favors seems to stay closer to themselves i.e. Alibe and Refi.  I think it’s safe to say Mephir didn’t get a complete transformation into an animal having some good grace from Elux.  But his fall was tragic and painful just as Mephisto’s.

There’s a whole lot of shit to this but this is what I can remember off the top of my head. I did a lot of research.

[fumus]

you rp mephir too right? so how do you do that because we don't know much about him. i am really interested.

waittt is alex going to be an accountant in alib 😭 bc why is that SO fitting, im just imagining him at his desk like 😐 all day as pato spams his phone

He is! He’s going to work in the accounting department for the medical device company Pato is interning at (the company is big into sports medicine, Pato is majoring in exercise science because he wants to work with recovering athletes.)

He 100% walks around looking like 😐😑 24/7 and Pato is like the first person who gets him to smile at the office. All of Alex’s coworkers are like “didn’t even know he could smile” - which, ofc he does, just not when he’s in the office that is slowly sucking the life out of him.

[nico-di-genova]

are the 3 roommates or no ?

No they’re not. Lance and Pato live in University Village, which is the newest off campus housing.

Technically they don’t offer 1 bed/1 bath apartments, but this is fictional fgcu and Lance is the world’s most specialist princess so he’s getting his own apartment. He hardly stays at it once he’s with Fernando though, spends the night at Fernando’s place most the time.

Pato lives in a 2 bed/2 bath a few buildings down from Lance with a guy from his frat. Having Lance nearby, they hang out pretty frequently, also makes the hookups easier, and when Pato is having a particularly bad day he knows he can always call Lance and have a safe place to go.

Esteban still lives on campus in the upperclassman housing. It’s called north lake village and sits on the lake (Fernando’s place is on the other side of the lake where the multimillion mansion community is).

But Lance visits him pretty frequently too because north lake sometimes has decent parties, before university police busts them. Esteban lives with three other guys in his apartment, two guys from his major and one random, but it’s an apartment style dorm so they all have their own rooms.

Lance and Esteban used to be roommates their freshman year. They lived in South Village (sovi) - the freshman housing - because students are required to live on campus their first year and Lance’s dad wanted him to have a somewhat normal experience.

They lived in Everglades in a 2-bedroom, which is how they met and became friends.

Lance hated having a roommate though, as much as he liked Esteban. So he moved to University Village asap, had that lease signed and ready to go for sophomore year. He keeps it on a rolling basis too, that way he doesn’t have to move in and out once he gets back to school each fall.

i come to your inbox with Heavily Researched News™ (i listened to off track and did some quick googling) containing info for your 'a lesson in braking' alex.

so, in 2022 there was a huge prank pulled on conor daly on day one of the indy500 (dubbed Beadgate), where someone filled his hot tub with what he estimated was 400,000 orbeez. his top list of suspects were josef newgarden, callum ilott, tony kanaan, colton herta, kyle kirkwood and scott mclaughlin.

in hindsight, daly thought he'd heard some noise outside his trailer

'there was a lot of guilty faces in the paddock this morning, and i can’t figure out which one is the culprit,' daly said. 'it’s a tough scene. i think the primary suspects are the dads of the indycar community, too, because apparently children like to fill up these little fake guns with water balls and shoot them at people.'

newgarden called daly that night 'in a very scared manner' to try to convince daly that he wasn't guilty of the prank. daly suspected callum of being involved 'cause he was hanging out with him a lot as he was looking for the culprit and wondered if callum is keeping himself close to the situation to throw daly off.

callum meanwhile, claimed he’s innocent because he wasn’t prepared for the shenanigans to ensue so quickly. (but as a rookie, he was fully prepared for being pranked himself and had bought supplies to retaliate if that was the case)

ilott said that it was a genius and clever prank and wondered why daly was considering him a prime suspect and why alexander rossi wasn’t being considered at all.

kirkwood said he spent $40 on chlorine and test tubes to keep the hot tub running properly so why would he ruin it?

marco andretti also wondered why nobody was considering rossi, as well as james hinchcliffe.

'I’m so busy worrying about my race car right now, but it is funny to look at on social media,' andretti said. 'hinch has some time on his hands. rossi is always a culprit, isn’t he?'

but rossi claimed to have an alibi 'cause he and hinch was with daly as it happened on monday night, so he couldn't have done it... right?

wrong. guess what?? turns out he really should have listened to callum and andretti 'cause it very much was alex (with the help of sage karam) who filled daly's hot tub with 1.76 million orbeez (which cost him 483 dollars which was almost as much as the hot tub itself btw). he just didn't do it on monday night, he did it on tuesday morning.

and this is how he confessed:

daly's reaction to finding out btw:

and alex explained it all in detail on the 'off track' (don't know which episode, i watched the youtube clip titled 'the hot tub prank') where he claimed to have done legitimate research into how many orbeez it would take to fill a 242 gallon portable hot tub (which is apparently how large daly's hot tub is), which honestly? very believeable to me.

the cherry on top of it all? the way daly found out about the prank to begin with. 'cause daly had guests over and he wanted to show them his brand new hot tub.... cue him lifting the lid on the hot tub and finding 1.75 million orbeez instead of water.

and the reason behind this hilarious prank??? daly did this to rossi TWO YEARS EARLIER in 2020:

so essentially, when it comes to pranking alexander rossi? fuck around and find out.

…so when I said alib Alex breaking the water pump in the fountain at school…where he dumped a fuck ton of soap in there senior year…after researching which brand of soap would produce the most bubbles…I was actually underestimating the lengths he would go to?

Jasmine honest to god this is the best possible Alexander lore dump you could have given me. I am absolutely in tears. What the actual FUCK goes on in his brain??? He plotted, he planned, he did THE MATH to figure out how many fucking orbeez he would need to fill this thing? Because…the wheels were taken off his golf cart TWO YEARS PRIOR??!!

He’s so insane, he’s so absolutely crazy insane. Nearly $500 on orbeez beads…I love him. I opened this ask with absolutely no idea where tf it was going and now I am sitting here laughing so hard I am actually in tears. I can’t get over the image of him researching this. He absolutely was not fucking around.

And not only did he own up to it, he shows the actual receipts. My respect for his commitment is through the roof rn. When people say race car drivers are competitive this is actually what they mean. I am now also a little scared of him and his unwavering resolve to finish what is started.

What I’ve gathered from this is you should probably never engage in a prank war with Alexander Rossi. It is a guaranteed loss and he will decimate you to the point that you are preparing to proudly show off your brand new possession, only to find it has been broken by toxic water balls.

[nico-di-genova]

i feel like it would be so funny if in alib alex still was on the amazing race 😭 he just seems like the type of dude to have the most RANDOM lore ever

Actually, you’re so correct.

And he’d drop it at the most random time too. Like he’s hanging out with Pato and Lance, Lance is talking about something completely unrelated and Alex just says “reminds me of the time I visited Zimbabwe.”

To which there is a pause.

And Alex just adds.

“You know. For the Amazing Race.”

Very much they did not know, and whatever conversation they were having quickly detours into how the fuck Alex ended up on the show. And then devolves further into them just having a full on watch party.

Pato quickly learns that there’s very little Alex hasn’t done, and yet he’s still shocked and surprised when Alex just drops lore on him randomly.
