STRANGE NOISES FROM THE HOLE IN THE WALL HEADCANONS/INTERPRETATIONS UHHH OBVIOUS SPOILERS. CLARISSA CENTRIC CAUSE. HOLY SHIT

clarissa is to locomotion as clara is to the nutcracker. she's the kid who dreamed him into existence hundreds of years ago. i know he says he's older than the devil - i think that's still plausible, he's existed since thought but wasn't attached to the Silver Line or brought into physical existence until clarissa, lonely or in danger or just bored, imagined a world where she could escape from her everyday life and live as a grown-up(? maybe? since benjamin/timothy/billy seemed to age up as soon as he went through the portal?), with freedom and whimsy and eventually a relationship with the friendly driver.

why do i say this? because otherwise im really fucking confused lmao, that first scene where clarissa and loco are introduced is strange in the context of the end of the play. they seem to have known each other for a good while before they get on the train. they act like a young couple who's stumbled upon the silver line as an escape from danger and now they're excited for their new life in a new, safe world. except that loco also says he's been driving the train for years.

(looking back, that very much feels like a scenario from a child's imagination - or perhaps a dream - where of course he's been doing this for years, that's his job, but of course they're glad they've found the train together, this is a new experience for her so it's just an extension of her perspective)

but clara is, she says, a child when she gets on the train. idk how old "little girl" is, but if we run with this headcanon and also assume that the timeline is both linear and literal, she's imagining herself in some form of a sexual relationship with loco at a pretty young age.

i posit that this can be reconciled in several ways (some more disturbing or inappropriate than others), but one thing that could be considered is that the first scene where loco and clarissa are introduced is symbolic of their relationship over the course of the train's history. depending on how old clarissa was when she first dreamt the world into existence, she might not have even been very aware of loco, and spent her time just enjoying the escapism or whatever. after a few years or however long, she starts to get older and decides to learn how she's actually done this, maybe spends a long time trying to understand exactly what's going on. maybe her research leads her to a relationship with loco, i don't know. they do get on the train together, maybe, when they're both young (or, well, relatively speaking) and new to the world, and loco eventually has been driving the train for years and years and clarissa makes it a bit more tolerable with some companionship after a long lonely time. but those things don't happen simultaneously, because i think those things don't really work simultaneously. that scene is a sort of speedrun/amalgamation of how the two of them have interacted over the years. and yeah i guess that means they fucked at one point in there

(im going to be transparent, some of that is a bit of cope/rationalization. i think loco and the conductor are very exes/begrudging coworkers vibes, but i do like clarissa and loco together as well - unsettlingly powerful girl x eldritch being with a soft spot is a very good trope. and im trying to make it work out okay? give me a break lol. you don't have to agree with me on this, but once i see a luke and tom couple with a fun and compelling dynamic i will not let them go even if the ethics get a bit hard to explain later on. sorry, anyways moving on)

additionally, and i probably should have said this earlier, a reason i think this whole nutcracker theory holds up is because clarissa holds a sort of unique power in the world. she's been on the silver line for hundreds of real-years, who knows how many train-years, and still remembers her name and something of her old life. loco isn't hostile to her, even confirming her memory of her name and reminding her of her birthdate. with everyone else (ex. benjamin), he actively discourages them from remembering their lives. despite seemingly being one of the oldest passengers, she doesn't transform for hundreds of years. she obviously has some significance.

you know how that ties in? if this is clarissa's world, if her mind is what created the whole thing, then i think it makes sense to assume it's tied to her. as she begins to question her surroundings, then panic as she realizes she can't leave, her emotional and/or mental state becomes less stable, less utopic, less perfect. the dream begins to turn into a nightmare. and it becomes. well. an ouroboros. the snake eats its own tail and the train goes in circles and the escapist fantasy clarissa once loved becomes a prison of her own design. trapped in the very thing that was supposed to save her.

maybe that's why anthony and benjamin can get out when they do - as clarissa's world decays, as she finally begins to become part of the nightmare, as she melds with the train, the world has to shift a bit. it's reaching the point of no return - once clarissa has been fully sucked in, the train will never stop again. falling into an infinite nothing. but in that moment, there's one final chance for the conductor to stall locomotion, one final leap that could at last pull benjamin and anthony and everyone who's been sucked in by clarissa's black hole of a nightmare out of the portal and back into the real world.

and now, clarissa has lost three hundred years of a life that should never have lasted so long. gained perhaps thousands of years of memories of joy and connection and despair and panic and forever forever forever. and she is once again trapped in a vessel of her own making - her body is that of the child she has not been for lifetimes. her world is dead and gone - not just the world she created, but the world she escaped from as well. what of locomotion, that brief flash of connection? does he even exist anymore? who is she, now? who was she? where can she possibly go from here?

shoutout delirium_undead on discord for going along with the nutcracker theory and helping me flesh this out. your ideas are so galaxy brained and i am forever in your debt

actually i started tearing up just a little bit from that recent post and i just figured out why i like this blog so much it's like. blorboposting done by the biggest fan of something and from someone who understands the characters the most. its like making the experience of absorbing information about a show or something through tumblr osmosis into the way the characters are presented in a way and it's a really cool and fascinating way to present a story (even if like. idk if you meant it that way smsbsmsn)

IM GLAD YOU ENJOY SHOPPING AT THE MART :). I think osmosis and the nature of it and how the story is presented on here is in some part inherent to the way the shelves are stocked [the nature of posting on tumblr]. I'm glad that combined with me skittering in at off hours and throwing posts out like saltine crumbs to a duck pond is hitting in a way that's enjoyable & resonating

The only method to this madness is a deeply enamored [and sometimes embarrassing] passion with my own silly brain children, truly their biggest fans till the day I die 🫡

my boy eats his soup

me just now talking abt ling yao

[flyttadigs]

he has bewitched me with his brilliant red hair and low IQ :///

[flyttadigs]

bro fuck it time to post abt their petnames bc i love how they have all these names for each other in canon. greed lives AU with him staying in xing bc fuck you

when everything is all said and done, greed mostly sticks to calling ling by his name. "emperor of xing" to tease or praise him.

that being said, "brat" becomes his bedroom petname for ling. bc he is a brat in bed probably

greed would use "prince" as a half-petname for ling when they shared a body. also sarcastically of course. the only thing he doesnt like about ling becoming emperor is that he cant call him prince anymore. the power that comes with "emperor" is sexy to greed tho, but it doesnt have the same ring. he’ll still use it tho.

he also still calls him stud. i liked it when he called him that that one time, that was rly good.

ling only calls greed “monster” in the bedroom when hes dominating.

ling will call greed “homunculus” when hes being "bad”. like a rapscallion. a mischievous one if u will.

they also still call each other partner but for a different reason now.

i dont know why i cant come up with honest, sweet petnames for them for each other. i just rework their nicknames in canon to be sexy.

(you cant make pissant sexy)

ling has a new nickname for greed and its daddy. i said so. (it was greeds idea)

post done, bye.
