[my-cat-ate-your-appendix]

A few theories floating around in my head that aren't based on anything, just me wildly speculating possibilities (and when I saw wild, I really mean it):

1) That book and that key

As was pointed out by user goodbye432, we can see that Violet's key comes out of the book, but this key still remains.

I feel like this could be a gateway key that helps all the keys find each other? Or it could be the book that acts as a gateway. Or maybe both of them as a combination act as a gateway?

Point is, that key definitely isn't a key that gathers narratonin

It doesn't have the narratonin compartment that all the other keys have

The whole structure is different, actually.

So it's probably not a key that was in the original story-key roster. Maybe it was created after the other keys to help them find each other better? Maybe Nox himself created this key while he was still a human? Maybe Nox created this key after he became a key? Maybe Nox didn't have anything to do with it at all? Maybe it was accidentally made by a cat named Prunella?

Personally, I don't think that key is sentient (like, I don't think it has a tiny goober form like the other keys), either, but that really has no basis at all. It very well could.

2) Are the stories themselves sentient?

The story just wants to be enjoyed, the story just wants to be finished, the story doesn't want to be destroyed. The story's sounding an awful lot like a sentient creature right now.

We know that the keys don't decide anything about the story, and nor do the holders of the keys. So who decides when the story ends? Who decides the amount of enjoyment (and therefore the amount of narratonin) received from the story? My bet's on the story itself.

I don't think this is going to have much relevance in the actual plot, but it was just interesting to think about.

3) Silver is in on it

Silver knows something. This has such major foreshadowing with this particular panel:

and then the scene immediately cuts to Silver

Suspicious. Also, so far, Silver's key is the only key that was left around with a note. Bronze's key was literally in a flea market with one other unknown key, and Goldie's key was in the clutter known as Prunella's mom's stuff. Silver's key, on the other hand, was left in the library, very clearly intentionally. It was meant to be found, just not by Chase.

And why was Silver broken? What happened? Did she just like, fall? I don't think so.

This is not necessarily a bad thing, since we all know that Silver adores Chase as well as her family and would never agree to endanger them again. Maybe she escaped and was supposed to help the other keys escape too? Maybe she was supposed to help Nox escape? Maybe she did help some of the keys escape, but not the others? Maybe she's part of the FBI? Who knows? Not me, that's who.

4) What's up with Ex Libris anyway?

So far, we've been hearing of Ex Libris as this kind of Big Bad Organisation, but we've never actually seen them make a move? I think it's clear now that Nox wasn't working for the Ex Libris, but rather for his own motives, so it isn't as if the Ex Libris sent him either.

So does the Ex Libris just like, not know that half of it's keys are missing and another key is trying to turn human? Or does it know and is deciding to not do anything about it?

Or does it know and can't do anything about it? What if the Ex Libris has been disbanded, and the keys just don't know about it? That's not quite feasible, I know, considering that Violet and Buddy are probably in the Ex Libris facility right now but that's just our assumption, y'know? They might be in hiding. I'm pretty sure Ex Libris wouldn't want Buddy turning back into a human, so they're definitely going behind Ex Libris' back to do what they're doing, so why can't they be in hiding? Why can't they be totally unaware of what's going on in Ex Libris?

Or maybe the Ex Libris isn't evil at all? They seem more like a bunch of sleep-deprived scientists making one mad discovery after another. If I'm right about the artificial key Buddy theory (see this post) then I admit that would make them more evil, but maybe they're aware of that. Maybe they know that what they did was wrong, and regret it. Maybe all the unethical experimentation was done by a far, far older batch of the Ex Libris, and the new generation of the Ex Libris is strictly vegan and on the keys' side. Maybe they're choosing to help by ignoring. Maybe there's a helper on the inside. Maybe it's Chase's dance partner who never shows up to practices.

Maybe he never shows up to practices because he's too busy trying to save the keys from the Ex Libris. Poor guy.

5) Chase's friends

Yeah, they're definitely not just there to show us that hey! Chase actually has friends his own age! It just doesn't line up.

Maybe one of them bought the other key from the flea market? Y'know, the one Chase couldn't get in time?

Maybe one of them's going to coincidentally show up in the same book as Chase and Nox some other time, and Nox is just going to stare at Chase and Chase will be like "Dude I swear I had absolutely no idea this time."

I just think that would be funny.

That's all I can think of right now. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk, I'll be disappearing off of the face of Earth now.

you mean to tell me… that i have been reading Cinderella Boy for A YEAR

without realizing that i had a purple and silver key the whole time.

seriously.

[gothicbeastgirl]

I looked at it sooooo many times.

There are 12 drawings, each one is a key role, and we can see opposites are in front of each other. The hero (sun) is up, and the opposite, the villain (moon), is below.

We can't see every symbol bc of the bright on the keyhole, but we only need to look at the right side. There's a diamond, Violet's key symbol, so I deduce Violet's key is now in the opposite side, the rose symbol (I guess).

Could this be the reason why Buddy is connected with Chase?

It looks like there's a master key in the middle of the page, and if you use it with your key you can appear in the same story that the key your "tracking" with your's.

That time Deacon went alone he was using the hero's key, and Silver used the helper's key. When Bronze used Silver to prove his theory, as @lexieloo28 said:

Maybe Nox were hidden when he recognized Bronze or noticed it wasn't Chase.

The question is: how Nox knows WHEN to meet Chase?

little cb doodle dump :)

Enjoy haha

[h0llyw0lly]

Was doodling Best Girl Silver during my breaks this week, and then I had a brilliant idea. I’ve decided to post a drawing of each of the keys that we’ve met in order of appearance every Monday until the Official season finale. Just sounds like fun to me :3

[em0b000]

Hey guys I've made some cb wallpapers there's a couple so to avoid this post being too long I'll do the read more line but there are no spoilers i promise

Feel free to save them and use if you'd like I don't mind!

I also made one for the laptop users

I hope you like them feel free to save and use if you'd like 👍

[basicallyart]

RIP Deacon. He’s not surviving this one…

Welcome to the costume party where you just dress up as the person standing next to you lol

(Also Ralph totally went as Diane, he had to go brag to her about how he's a better Dian than she is or something 😂)

[storkydorky]

I've been having some thoughts about Violet's design and I thought might as well get them out there.

So, compared to the other keys we have seen so far, who have just generic looking gems in different colours as their eyes, Violet's eyes don't have that "generic gem" look to them. In my opinion, they look like opal? And they match the underside of her dress. (Which is also a first, in the sense that all the other keys' bodies/clothes so far have just a single solid colour to them)

Edit: Now that I think about it, if Violet's eyes are supposed to be opal, then maybe all the keys have a different gemstone/birthstone as their eyes. Like, maybe silver's eyes are supposed to be tourmaline and bronze's are emerald?

Also, her skin and clothes have a more "glittery" look to them than the other keys who have a more shiny metallic look.

So, does any of this have a deeper meaning to it, or is it all just a way to create more unique looking keys? 🤔

[kitkat-the-muffin]

Finished that edit of the Keys! More specifically Silver but the others are there too :3

Song is Language Of The Lost

[rubyroulette]

GUYS I NEED HELP

WHICH DO I GET, PLUSHNAPPLE OR SILVER'S KEY?! I'm leaning towards plushnapple, but idkkkkk

[lavenderblue939]

so… are we gonna get a goldie version or…?

[gothicbeastgirl]

I'm sure she asked him to give Deacon a perfect outfit for that story.

She's so cute and I think is beautiful how she is starting to care about him (idk if as a friend, family or something else) since that ship book.

[inkyspirit]

She says it's just saying that they are oky etc. but from a story telling perspective, It FEELS like it's important enough that it's going to the legit help or hinder the characters somehow. Like, as a new plot point. It seems odd to me that Silver has waited this long to send such a letter, and she decides to do so after Buddy is upset over Prunella being in the story/Chase lying. But there's much bigger issues going on now so how and when is the letter even going to come in to play?

what’s everyone’s theories on what’s in silver’s letter to violet? i’m curious

[em0b000]

I made more pfps but the keys this time!

Feel free to use them as your pfps

Also no ships here they are all siblings
