Wait One Goddang Moment

Image: Screenshot of an ask back in January 2024, with Red Spring Studios explaining the difference between Monsters and Soulless:

Caption: "How are Soulless different from Monsters?" "Though they come from the same world, Soulless are feral beasts driven purely by bloodlust. No one knows why Soulless lack sapience, but there are some who believe that they’re sinners reborn as punishment for their wickedness."

To contrast with today's loredrop:

Caption: "Does the curse have long-term effects?" When it comes to humans, MC’s touch results in the permanent destruction of the mind. Soulless are a different story. The curse seems to only pacify them for a short period of time.

SOULLESS WERE ONCE HUMAN/IS THAT WHAT'S GONNA BEFALL MHIN IF THEY CAN'T FIND A SOLUTION FOR THEMSELF?!

Please feel free to add to this y'all I am SCREAMING—

what're azurill and marill up to?

their adoptive mother is the chansey that runs the daycare!

marills a bit older and a bit busier trying to run it for her while shes sick

he tries to keep an eye on azurill at the same time while doing that but azu still gets into a bit of trouble running around...

after the drowzee incident azurill stays much closer to marill

i think azurill develops a younger brother type bond w manny and duskull after they save him from drowzee and follows them around treasure town when he sees them

Hey why can Ganon be revived via the heros blood in Adventure of Link?

It's not a plot point we see in any other games, so what makes Adventure of Link different? Here's my theory: the silver arrows. In the original Legend of Zelda (the first one), you kill Ganon by stunning him with your sword and finishing him off with an item called the silver arrows. Maybe, the silver arrows are a magic item designed to seal away powerful enemies within the blood of the user.

But the first game isn't the only time we see the silver arrows, they're also in A Link to the Past. Like the first game, you use them to finish Ganon off after stunning him with your sword. But Link doesn't have to deal with monsters trying to sacrifice him to bring back Ganon in that game, so I guess that destroys my theory, huh? Except... You know who does almost get sacrificed to bring Ganon back? Zelda. In the oracle games, twinrova kidnap her and try to sacrifice her. The in game explanation is that her death will bring people so much despair that Ganon can return, but what if it's also because Ganon is sealed away within her blood? Maybe she made/comissioned the silver arrows in the first place (edit: or maybe they're and artifact the royal family already had idk) and put her blood in them for the hero to find and use in A Link to the Past. And then, hundreds of years in the future, Link from the first Zelda game finds and uses them, not realizing the whole blood curse situation that goes with them

Tldr: silver arrows seal Ganon away in the user's blood and he can be brought back using their blood. Zelda from alttp and oracle games made and used them, and then Link from the first Zelda game used them and that's why he's got a blood curse in Adventure of Link

Imogen Cardulo in the ending of Onyx Storm is giving “She had the envelope, where you think she got it from?” vibes… and I may just have enough faith in the character arc to get behind this

There are three investigations in the game:

The investigation that the MC is conducting.

The investigation that is being handled by the team.

The investigation that I left for the readers.

You, anon, are an example of how some readers genuinely make me happy with the way they pick up the clues that I've carefully placed in certain sentences and choices, feeling the story before it fully unfolds.

You made me so happy today, because this is the first time someone has come up with the closest theory out of all the ones sent to me.

Thank you for this, truly.

P. S. Please don't mind my little cryptic message. It was just for fun. Probably.

But if you analyze how the MC "woke up" at the start of the story… Actually, never mind.

guys I love this thing called having an idea an not knowing how to execute it but I think I'll get there

have the doodle of it in the meantime

Ok so Laila is going to figure out the Moriyama's are mafia right? And her family is going to get insider info. Because she's being very observant of Jean and asking specific questions about his life the whole book and at the end her family is looking into the FBI and what they actually want from Jean

For non nebula subscribers: South Korea is a new format that is apparently very “cerebral” and “thinky” and “train-y”

why is Yi so short

I’m afraid your guess is as good as mine. He stopped growing around thirteen years old. Our parents were super worried that something was wrong, especially since it was only after..

Hm. When the roots healed Yi…

Do you think the player character already suspects that Kuras isn't human since he was able to reattach their arm without being affected by their curse?

I don’t know if the player does, but I feel like anyone with common sense would know something is up.

I can only speak for myself, but if someone could sew my ripped off limb back on without leaving any stitches, I‘d be pretty suspicious of that person.

Also his golden eyes… I don’t know if that’s a normal occurrence in the TS universe, but golden eyes?? I mean… how could you NOT think that this guy is supernatural??

Maybe the game will touch up on it once it’s finally released, but I sure hope MC isn’t dense enough to not see that Kuras is a little bit out of the ordinary.
