Crackpot Headcanon: Vlaakith's 'Grand Design' for Lae'zel (and the Githyanki)

Back again on my raving bullshit for Baldur's Gate 3 (D&D and Forgotten Realms by relation), this time we're looking at the Lich Queen Tyrant, Vlaakith CLVII... cause I have lunatic thoughts of this bitch that fuel the fanfiction I write.

As with all my lunatic fandom ravings, spoilers abound for Baldur's Gate 3, associated materials, and course, take this all with COPIOUS amounts of salt. I get most, if not all, of my 'canon' info from the Forgotten Realms wiki and try to doublecheck the sources but I don't always have the time or means to.

So what is known of Vlaakith is actually very little. The one in Baldur's Gate 3 is, presumably, the 157th githyanki to hold this title and has reigned for a thousand years (mostly as a lich). She has no known heirs and aspires to ascend to godhood (primarily through spam-casting Wish). D&D Lore is very sparse on the githyanki and even more so when it comes to nuances with the githyanki. They have existed since the days of AD&D (Advanced Dungeons & Dragons) but we didn't have much about them, canonically, for a long time.

So, lunatics like myself, let the brain worms fill in the blanks.

We know that Gith, for which the people get their namesake, was the figurehead and Leader of the rebellion that led to the toppling and near extinction of the Illithid Empire unknown millenia before. At her side, I believe both Vlaakith and Zerthimon assisted her (as advisors in different capacities... and to some unknown extent, her only 'confirmed' blood relative, her son Orpheus). As to their exact roles, it is unknown how Vlaakith advised Gith in the matters of her rebellion but given she is referred to as the first of a long series of Lich-Queens that rule the githyanki, her capacity likely involved her skill and knowledge in the arcane/Weave.

After the rebellion, it is believed Gith and Zerthimon fell to infighting, as Gith presumably was so consumed with righteous fury, she single-mindedly wanted to continue hunting down the remaining illithids while Zerthimon, seeing they had won, wished to carve a new life for the 'gith' now that they were free.

In my deranged mind, I suspect/believe that the Proclamation of Two Skies (how the gith refer to their civil war that led to the creation of the -yanki and the -zerai) was stoked and brought to fruition by Vlaakith I. She was always manipulative and concerned, primarily, with her own ambitions. Having witnessed how Gith roused and united the gith, how they called her 'mother' may have stoked jealousy in Vlaakith and so she conspired to take that power and reverence for herself, especially under the suspicion I have that Gith and Zerthimon were lovers/mates (I wrote a theory pointing at Orpheus may be their son).

Vlaakith conspired to turn Gith and Zerthimon upon each other but her plan had an unintended consequence; the division of the gith people into the Githyanki and the Githzerai (and with time, further fracturing in the form of Pirates of Gith, Sha'sal Khou and the Githvyrik (dunno how canon this is anymore because only occurs in one novel)). However, Vlaakith saw an opportunity in this fracture; Gith to be the sacrificial lamb on the altar of her ambitions.

It's believed Vlaakith I's first attempt at bargaining with Baator (The Nine Hells) was seeking a pact with Dispater. However, Vlaakith's attempt(s) failed for one reason or another... likely because Dispater is far more paranoid than Vlaakith is and saw no merit in a deal with such a conniving creature.

Having failed in bargaining with the Lord of Dis, Second Layer of Baator, Vlaakith found herself bargaining with Tiamat. It is, still, unknown the terms of their pact (or how she even got to bargaining with the Chromatic Dragon Queen to begin with) but the bargain was successful and Gith ended up being part of the price.

After the githyanki retreated into the Astral Plane, since the civil war left them weakened (and the githzerai went to Limbo), Vlaakith convinces Gith to travel to Avernus (First Layer of Baator), likely with promises that fed into Gith's violent ego and giving no indication that Gith was not going to make it back. With the bargain paid, Tiamat imprisoned Gith among her hoard (presumably) while Vlaakith returned to the githyanki on the back of Ephelomon, Tiamat's Chromatic Red consort. Together, the two convinced the githyanki that Gith had martyred herself in the bargain and commanded that Vlaakith guide and rule their people in her absence.

This is where the canon gets messy, as there appears to be a discrepancy in the order of events. In the 5e Monster Manual, it suggests Vlaakith sealed the bargain with Tiamat before the Proclamation of Two Skies happened. Texts like Mordenkaine's Tome of Foes suggests the bargain with Tiamat was struck after the split. I'm more inclined to agree it happened after, since the Githzerai and other non-yanki Gith do not benefit from the terms of the pact (mainly the access to Red Dragons)

So, what's this all got to do with the current Vlaakith?

Vlaakith CVII is more than I (want to) believe Larian has told/shown us.

Like her namesake, Vlaakith CVII is a lich that has, supposedly been in power for, roughly, a thousand years by the time the events of Baldur's Gate 3 happen. She upholds the teachings, protocols, and ambitions of her originator and predecessors yet has no known heirs (blood relative or otherwise).

My crazy idea is that Vlaakith CVII is actually Vlaakith I... and all other holders of the 'title' before her have just been Vlaakith. Vlaakith is too vain and ambitious to let something like death get in her way and likely sought every means possible to buy herself the time she needed to achieve her ultimate ambition; Godhood.

Vlaakith's insanity is well in line with the 'canon' behavior of liches, especially 'long-lived' ones. Now, she is just a creature driven by the all-consuming desire to ascend and achieve the ultimate power by any means necessary.

Ascending to divinity/godhood in D&D is... not very clear. The primary factor is faith, as a god needs followers to thrive and derive power from. By controlling the githyanki in all aspects of life, establishing castes like the Inquisitors to hunt down and silence dissenters, sealing Prince Orpheus within the Astral Prism (and infernal chains), using Gith's name and 'sacrifice' as a catylst to keep the people's devotion on herself... but this is a slow process so Vlaakith also encouraged and regulates the militaristic structure of githyanki society to produce powerful warriors that she can, later, consume and sacrifice in her spam-casting of the Wish spell and whatever other means she uses those poor souls for (aside from the husks she keeps)

So, how and why does Lae'zel factor into all of this?

Literally, this is all because of one dialogue line Vlaakith gives in Act 3 of Baldur's Gate 3: Promising to make Lae'zel Baht Vlaakith, the Commander of Dragons; her Chosen (despite having no true divine power). She offers Lae'zel's greatest ambition; to be Kith'rak, to ascend beyond even the standards of her people and serve at Vlaakith's feet.

Weird thing to say to someone you can just Thanos-snap from existence, which Vlaakith does if your party refuses to comply with her at Creche Y'llek. (Seriously, this woman will waste a Wish on you just to remove the entire party from existence for 'waving hello' at her)

Vlaakith has determined Lae'zel as her 'heir' and needs her to return so that she may possess/control her (either through the use of spells like Domination or something more sinister, like excising her soul and possessing her body; no clue if liches can do this). I believe some githyanki that held the title of 'Vlaakith' were simply thralls to Vlaakith I, enhancing her duplicity to make it seem like the title passes on between individuals (despite having NO information on how this is determined within githyanki society).

The only other 'brain worm' I have about why Vlaakith attempts to bargain with Lae'zel one more time about killing Orpheus instead of, I dunno, simply Wish-murder the party, is there is something important about Lae'zel that not even the githyanki herself is aware of. Not to the degree of a psionic null zone but perhaps something Vlaakith has been nurturing through controlled breeding to accelerate her consumption of power... or as an offering to Tiamat.

Hells, if you talk to Withers in the Epilogue about the fate of a Vlaakith aligned Lae'zel... he says she's just gone. Her soul no longer exists.

A fate worse than death and Lae'zel went to it, oblivious.

Yep, there it is... more cracked brainworm thoughts for Baldur's Gate 3.

I'm also not a fan of Vlaakith but hey, I feel like there needs to be way more depth and analyzing some of this stuff my brain just does on its own.. and it fuels my fan-fic writing (which you should totally check out)

I hope folks are enjoying my insane ramblings.

Tinfoil theory: Edith & Harold are really older Louise & Rudy that traveled back in time!

Okay, no. This is of course not true. There's really no evidence for this (and what we know of Edith's backstory contridicts this) but when I look at them I can't help but think how similar they are.

Rudy & Harold have the same long ears and talk in hoarse voices that makes you think they may have issues with their respitory systems. Rudy likes hats and his favorite colour is green. Harold wears a hat and a green shirt.

While Louise dosen't chare many characteristics with present Edith she does share many with Edith as a child as I pointed out in a previous blog.

I'm just saying; if anyone asked me what Louise and Rudy would look like 70 years from now I'll probably just show them a picture of the Cranwinkles.

Also their dynamic is somewhat similar with Louise & Edith being more dominant and Rudy & Harold being more submisive.

Again, I don't think this theory is true but its just fun to imagine.

Maybe it can be the premise for a fanfic or a comic book story.

Famous streamer Danny and his secret boyfriend:

Okay, but picture this: Danny Fenton is this massive streamer—like, he’s the guy everyone watches for chill vibes, chaotic gaming, and somehow getting sidetracked talking about conspiracy theories in the middle of a speedrun. His streams are a mess of ghost jokes, random facts about space, and way too much energy for someone running on three hours of sleep and coffee.

And then there’s his boyfriend—who the fans only know exists because Danny’s way too in love to not talk about him. Like, every stream, without fail, Danny’s casually dropping hints. “Oh yeah, my boyfriend brought me coffee, isn’t he the best?” or “I was playing this game with him last night, and he kept getting us killed, but he’s cute so I let it slide.”

The thing is, no one has ever seen this boyfriend. Not once. No name, no face, nothing. And at this point, it’s basically part of Danny’s brand. His fans are in the chat, spamming questions like, “Who is he?” “Is he another streamer?” “What’s his name?” and Danny’s just laughing it off every time, like, “Eh, maybe I’ll introduce you guys one day.”

The fan theories are wild. People have made entire reddit threads trying to piece together clues about who this mystery guy is. Some think Danny’s boyfriend is a celebrity. Others are convinced it’s someone famous in the gaming world, but no one has any proof. It’s like the internet’s biggest mystery, and Danny’s just sitting there, fully aware of it, leaning into the chaos without giving away a single detail.

Meanwhile, Tim Drake—yes, that Tim Drake, Gotham’s resident CEO of WE and vigilante—is just chilling in the background. He’s the boyfriend, obviously. The one who makes sure Danny actually eats between streams and sometimes joins him off-camera to play co-op games. But Tim’s got no intention of revealing himself. He likes the anonymity, the whole “mysterious boyfriend” thing. Plus, with his whole double life as a vigilante, staying out of the public eye (more than he already is) isn’t exactly a bad idea.

But the best part—Danny’s fans? They’re convinced his boyfriend is some kind of superhero or vigilante. The way Danny talks about him—like he’s always busy, never around during certain hours (because, you know, Tim’s out patrolling Gotham), and the fact that he’s never once shown up on camera? It’s practically begging for wild speculation. And Danny? He’s just letting them run with it, saying stuff like, “Oh yeah, he’s totally saving the world right now, can’t make it to stream today.”

So now Danny’s got this massive online following, all obsessed with his mystery boyfriend, while Tim’s just quietly in the background, living his double life and probably smirking every time Danny plays along with the fans’ theories. It’s lowkey hilarious, and neither of them is ever planning to set the record straight. They’re just having way too much fun with it.

Not to be petty, but there's a "fridge magnets" theories about magnets on Eddie's fridge, but Buck's always was empty. Always. Until Tommy. And we saw in in the same episode as Tommy slept on the couch(perfectly fitting even with his height)

It's really funny how in one episode two theories was laughed at. Coincidence? Pettiness? Idk but it's funny

VIOLET IS SCARED OF THE DARK! BUT WHY? WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

🚨 Spoilers for Fourth Wing and Iron Flame Below 🚨

When reading Fourth Wing one of the many times I've read it I noticed that Violet seemed scared of the dark on several occasions. However, the newest Xaden POV bonus chapter (Ch 27) solidified my crack theory that may mean nothing at all even further.

Fourth Wing:

⚡️Chapter 1: "The Captain nods and points to the open door into the turret. It looks ominously dark in there, and I fight the urge to run like hell."

-> This is the weakest evidence but I wanted to include it. Even though the majority of the fear probably stems from having to cross the parapet and going into the riders quadrant I can't help but notice how the darkness of the turret is pointed out in relation to her wanting to run away.

⚡️Chapter 19: "'Hope you're not afraid of the dark.' He pulls me inside, and suffocating darkness envelopes us as the door closes. This is fine. This is absolutely fine. 'But just incase you are,' Xaden says, his voice at full volume as he snaps. A mage light hovers above our head, Illuminating our surroundings. 'Thanks'"

-> side note: as Nicole from FFG would say ITALICS! Is this a Xaden intinsic moment or is this similar to Ch 27 where he senses her fear down their bond?

⚡️Chapter 27 from Violet's POV: "Xaden lifts a hand a few inches above the table, and shadows pour from underneath our seats, filling the room and turning it dark as midnight in a blink. My heart jumps as my sight goes black."

⚡️Chapter 27 from Xaden's POV: "I lift my palms just enough to clear the table and summon the cooling darkness of the shadows. They stream out from under the table and blanket the room in less than a heartbeat, devouring all traces of light. Panic skitters down the silver bond."

Iron Flame:

⚡️Chapter 36: "He steps forward, raises his arms, and shadows rush in from the wall at our backs, engulfing the formation - and us - in complete darkness. Theres a glimmer of a caress across my cheek, right where it's split to what feels like the bone, and more than one cadet screams."

-> The structure of the first sentence, the emphasis on 'and us' is what clued me into the fear in this chapter. And once again Xaden, who is also the source of the darkness, uses the shadows to comfort her. Based on Ch 19 and Ch 27 of Fourth Wing he likely knows she's scared of the dark at this point.

Noooowwwwww - What does all this mean? Well.... I have no idea!

As mentioned before it might mean nothing at all. Rebecca might have just thrown it in there as a quirky personality trait of Violet's. I personally just don't think that's the case.

According to a study done by John Mayer (the clinical psychologist, not the singer) only 11% of adults in the US are scared of the dark. So, its not that common of a fear. Also the amount of times it's brought up throughout the two books we've had so far makes me think it might be significant.

On July 8th Rebecca Yarros and Red Tower Books released a joint Instagram reel with a small video showing the cover of Onyx Storm for the first time. The caption has the tag line "Are you ready to BRAVE THE DARK?" written just like that with 'brave the dark' in all caps. 'Brave the Dark' is also written on the cover of the book in the same way 'Fly or Die' and 'Burn it Down' was used as a tag line of FW and IF respectively. This is another one of the most prominent reasons I think that these allusions to Violets fear of the dark are more than just a basic character trait. In each of the scenes mentioned (with the exception of chapter 1) Xaden comforts Violet in the darkness. Furthermore, if you search 'dark' in the FW ebook there are over 80 occurrences of the word and almost all of them are in relation to Xaden (I couldn't search IF because I don't have the ebook). We know that OS is going to focus on Violet trying to find a cure for Xaden. Is Xaden part of this darkness Violet is scared of?

The Empyrean Series is my current hyper fixation so I couldn't get this spiral out of my head since yesterday.

Please weigh in on what you think Violets fear of the dark means or where it comes from! I'd love to hear other peoples opinions. Also, if you know of any scenes I missed where Violet is scared of the dark please let me know.

Thank you for coming to my TedTalk TairnTalk. (I stole that from someone else but I can't remember who said it first but credit to them you are hilarious).

Crackpot Theorycrafting: How Vlaakith I Caused the Proclamation of Two Skies

Were you ready for another one of these? No? Well, too bad, here it is.

There will be lots of assumptions and pulling things out of my ass so... enjoy?

Revisiting the Githyanki/Githzerai lore of D&D... at least what little of it there is. Chiefly, I had an idea of 'how' the Proclamation of Two Skies happened (mostly because I've been watching A LOT of the 20XX Planet of the Apes movies, including the newest 'Kingdom of...' film)

At some point in time, the Illithid Empire and the Grand Design created the species we know as the Gith but they did not adopt this name/moniker until the rise of Gith herself.

There's really very little known about Gith. She was the one who started and lead the rebellion of her people to freedom and crippled the Illithid Empire; She was a unique product of her species as she possessed a natural resistance to the mental influence of Mind Flayers and their ilk... and could share this protection with others. The only other known to possess such a unique gift is her only son, Prince Orpheus.

I presume that Gith did not act alone in this but that Vlaakith I and Zerthimon were her companions and trusted advisors that helped her organize and stage the rebellion (even going as far as suspecting Gith and Zerthimon may have been lovers or 'mated', Orpheus the only 'proof' of their union).

However, with the illithid at extinction's door step, Gith and Zerthimon turned on each other, leading to a war their people call the Proclamation of Two Skies. Gith wished to continue a crusade against the illithids and utterly erase them from existence while Zerthimon, seeing they had already won, wished for their people to find a new way of life. Without a compromise, Gith and Zerithmon warred, leading to a costly civil war that split the Gith people into the Githyanki (followers of Gith) and the Githzerai (followers of Zerthimon).

After this split, Vlaakith I approached Gith with a solution to achieve her goal; a pact with Tiamat... without letting be known she intended to sacrifice Gith to the Chromatic Queen in her own bid for power.

But why would she do this?

In a previous psychotic rambling, I theorized that Vlaakith CVII was, actually, Vlaakith I and that she had darker designs for Lae'zel beyond just another soul to feed on.

Part of me wondered if Vlaakith I's obsession with power was born of trauma, fear and jealousy... not just greed.

She was a slave, as was Gith and the rest of her kin, and had to endure great torment at the hands of her illithid masters. Gith's stand against the illithid and the Grand Design would have embolden Vlaakith (as it did their race) to seize power but Vlaakith took it beyond merely securing her freedom.

Gith was Vlaakith's chance at not only freedom, but punishing the illithid and gaining revenge against them for her life of anguish. It's likely she was already a powerful and gifted Sorcerer during her enslavement but the illithid kept her controlled, suppressed... manipulating her gifts for their own benefit until Gith freed her from their control.

However, and bear with me here, I suspect (head-canon really) that towards the end of the rebellion, when the illithid empire had lost its power, Gith was entertaining the idea of finding a 'home' and new life for her people (likely influenced by a potentially deeper relationship with Zerthimon; GIth have also already given birth to Orpheus by now or even during the war... or perhaps she was, frankly, tired of the toll the war was taking on the gith-people). Vlaakith caught wind of this plan or Gith confided in her about it (since they were likely very close).

In Vlaakith's mind, the war could not come to an end. It would NEVER come to an end.

Fearing that Gith's complacency would doom the gith-people and enable the return of the Grand Design, Vlaakith started trying to convince or pressure Gith into continuing the hunt/crusade... perhaps she even tried to do it herself but found that the gith-people would not follow her like they followed Gith and Zerthimon.

Driven by fear, panic and her own ambitions and thirst for power, Vlaakith turned to the Nine Hells for an answer. At first, she attempted to treat Dis, Lord of the Second Layer but he would not entertain her proposition for unknown reasons (likely due to the fact Dis is extremely controlling and paranoid and Vlaakith could not offer anything worth his while)

Vlaakith then, somehow, ended up in the court of Tiamat, the Evil Chromatic Dragon Queen. Whatever bargain they struck included Gith as the payment... but Vlaakith kept that information close to her chest, so to speak.

When Vlaakith returned to her side, manipulated things between GIth and Zerthimon, driving the two apart. Zerthimon wanted peace, for their people to build themselves a new life but Vlaakith managed to twist Gith's mind into continuing the crusade against the illithids, leading to the war that splits the gith-people into the Githyank and the Githzerai... as well as resulting in the supposed death of Zerthimon.

Wounded and weakened by the war (which I suspect was an unintended consequence Vlaakith hadn't planned on but worked in her favor), Vlaakith makes a proposition to Gith; that Tiamat was offering an alliance so their people could continue their crusade. Gith agreed to it and allowed Vlaakith to take her to Avernus and present her to the Chromatic Dragon Queen and her court.

Unfortunately, the whole 'deal' was a trap and the terms of the alliance were for Vlaakith, not Gith. Gith was the payment and in so, was imprisoned by Tiamat among her horde for unknown intentions and remains there. In turn, Vlaakith assumed control of the githyanki with a flight of Red Dragons at her beck and call.

During her reign, at some point, Vlaakith's pursuit of knowledge and power led her to necromancy and, eventually, turning herself into a lich.

At sometime during this point of her reign, Prince Orpheus, the only child of Gith (and likely Zerthimon), learned the truth of his mother's (Gith) fate and attempt to usurp her. Unfortunately, Vlaakith quashed Orpheus's rebellion and trapped the Gith's son in the Astral Prison (which she may have had commissioned by Raphael or Mephistopheles) so that she could manipulate his psionic powers, namely the ability to create a 'null field' against illithid.

Seeing an opportunity, Vlaakith sets up the notion of 'passing' the torch to a long reign of githyanki, securing her people's compliance... etc, etc.

And there ya go, more cracked Head Canon shenanigans. Enjoy

Season 2 episode 8 is called “Buck, Actually”

In season 2 episode 12, Tommy tells Chimney his favorite movie is Love, Actually.

Also, how did they know to include Tommy as early as episode one of the first season? Casual name drop that he’s Abby’s ex fiancé… then he’s in both “Hen Begins” and “Chimney Begins”?

I personally think that the whole thing was a set up and that they planned on having Buck come out at some point. Maddie always teased Buck about his boy crush on Eddie, tricking him into calling Eddie cute, etc.

Not to mention that in “Buck, Actually” he finally mentions knowing what love is after talking to the older gay man after his husband passed, who ended up dying on scene as well.

I feel like Abby was a huge influence on Buck’s love life, finally getting him out of the Buck 1.0 phase. She was older, more mature than him, and forced him to realize what he really wanted. Which started his Buck 2.0 era.

Tommy is the first man that Buck ends up with, Abby’s ex who happens to be the homophobic low key racist fire fighter from the earlier 118. When he finally meets Buck, he’s come into himself, come out, older/more experienced, and again more mature than Buck. I think Tommy was always meant to be used as the turning point in Buck’s love evolution.

Reflecting on what Tommy said during their break up and then Eddie thinking of moving could be his next wake up call. I see a lot of parallels between the Abby then Tommy storylines. In both cases they force him to realize what he really wants and personally I think that’s going to be Eddie.

Ok gang i may or may not be clinically insane but like is r!ciel not the actual r!ciel?

Like it’s obvious undertaker brought him back to life or smt but like theres 0 chance that its the real real r!ciel yknow? Like sebastian ate his soul when he came up from hell or whatever nd r!ciels soul was the gateway so at the very least the ciel undertaker rose from the dead doesnt hold r!ciels soul.

Also r!ciel acts to rude to O!ciel and like wouldn’t he be nicer based off of the flashbacks of O!ciels past? And like doll/freckle face from the noahs ark circus still acts how she used to in life and has the same hatred for ciel that she had dying which either means R!ciel died hating/disliking O!ciel or its not actually the original flashack childhood R!Ciel.

Also Sebastian ate R!ciels soul (i am NOT finding the panel evidence just go read the dang manga) so it should be impossible to retrieve said soul unless undertaker struck up some deal with Sebastian which is also not possible since sebastian says he can’t have more than one contract at a time+ he can’t lie to O!ciel, at least with doll face she may have had been resurrected fairly quickly or quickly enough that her soul wasn’t reaped.

Also the way undertaker brings up these corpses is through lengthening their memories with either shit videos of him dancing or futures they wish they had/their desires since humans desires are never ending therefore however long these corpses live are also never ending which could mea the corpse is just a body with the original hosts memories which explains why R!ciel acts so differently and is also just a cool idea.

But another way this could go (in my opinion much less likely) is that undertaker brainwashed the corpseinto believing O!ciel caused his death or did something horrible/overall just convinced him to not like O!ciel which would explain the calm and gentle yet rude and scheming personality the corpse of R!ciel has towards O!ciel with the memories of the actual person and the lies told to him sort of canclling each other out

We could also say that R!ciel just decided to hate O!ciem for surving but that doesnt make sense since R!ciel sacrificed himself for O!ciel and personally i dont want to believe the theory of “O!ciel pushed R!ciel to be sacrificed” i just don’t believe that! Like could you havr done that as a 9-10 year old to a person you loved and admired.

Idk if im clinically insane or not but i needed to let this shit out just to double check. :D

Im not insane just insanely smart ;)

Morgie is the second parent of the Hook children. (A theory brought to you by someone who is thinking abt this maybe too much)

I know this sounds crazy, In fact this is one of those theories that sound hella crazy at first; but please try to read through this one!

I will start superficial: He shares physical and behavioral traits with his youngest daughter!

Harriet and Harry clearly have Hook’s traits and that is shown by the way they’re described. both Harriet and Harry look a lot like Hook, anyone can see that. Both are mean-spirited (kind of), and kind of sadistic per say, they won’t think twice about it if they have to kill someone, just like Hook.

CJ, on the other hand does not share this characteristics! She does not have Hook’s black hair, She has this blond-almost-brown hair color that she shares with -gasp- Morgie! Her eyes also are more of a light brown, the worst she can do is hold someone hostage (That is being kind in Isle of the lost, alright?) and threaten. We saw that in Wicked world, she didn’t want any world-dominating power, she helped Zevon in his attempt to take over Auradon only because she wanted a boat, not because she wanted to take revenge or power like Zevon did.

Morgie seems to have this characteristics despite being in Uliana’s crew. As he is the one willing to follow orders, the one who tried to help her while she was transforming, he seems to be the ‘kindest’ or non serious out of the fabulous five. Perhaps he is not the most merciful person (“Yeah let’s burn her to a crisp!”) but it’s a start!

This could be a coincidence but, keep on reading!

This specific paragraph

“Most of the time he just barely seemed to tolerate CJ”

Maybe this is a little bit of a reach but, Notice that the paragraph only mentions CJ? The one who looks the most like Morgie?

After a loss, it is common on grieving parents to have a preference on the child who looks the most like the lost spouse, sometimes neglecting the child’s siblings. This could be the case of Hook and his children.

“Maybe Hook only tolerates her because it’s his daughter?”

Yeah but in that case the paragraph would include literally anything else. Like “He just barely seemed to tolerate his children” not just specifically CJ.

“Maybe Harriet and Harry didn’t exist when that was written.” Harry maybe, but when CJ’s book released the D1 novelization (Harriet’s debut) had already came out a year before CJ’s book, so yeah.

Morgie’s relationship with Hook. (And miscellaneous)

I will be honest. I’m not the biggest fan of serpenthook, It’s just not my thing but he does seem to have something with him. They’re always together, they’re always close to each other in Morgie’s 2:40 minutes of screentime, there *could* be something.

“Disney would never show a gay relationship in their movies!!!” -Coughs and points at Lumity and Willow’s dads in the owl house-

I mean I do doubt this will be canon but. Eh, let it be, for the sake of funsies!

“How did those two have children, then?”

Valid question! But like. We live in a world where magic exists. there are mer/octopeople, fairies, a God decided to have a daughter with a sorceress and then spawned another child of his own randomly.

Yzma is OLD. OLD OLD. She is one second away from being a mummy and somehow she had Zevon and Yzla😭 If Chad is the son of Cinderella and Charming and Chloe’s brother then Morgie can be the other dad of the Hook siblings. So we can just shove biology under the rug for this one. Nonetheless if this doesn’t buy you, we can say that Morgie used magic to shapeshift or that he’s trans or so.

We know coincidences are unfortunately very common in the Descendants universe but this seems too weird and specific to be just a coincidence. It feels off.

Why would you throw this guy who is not related to any of the original VK’s for no reason into the movie? We could’ve had Facilier, Gaston, the evil queen or Jafar instead of Morgie.

Why would you introduce him if it isn’t to fill a hole later? Why is he the only one with no blood relation to the Villain Kids?

It makes more sense if he was the other parent of the Hook siblings, as that little hole would be filled.

Where in the world is Morgie Le fay? (And other conclusions)

We really don’t have an answer to that. Maybe his mother’s magic managed to shield him from the magic wand and now he’s hiding, maybe he died in the isle of the lost as it is really hostile there, he isn’t in the list of those who deserve respect. Anything could’ve happened to him.

But more likely, instead of bailing Hook three children after, he is most likely dead or missing unfortunately.

I honestly don’t expect a big reveal out of this not only because the theory is kinda far from being canon, but because the Hook’s are not main characters. They’re not Mal and there won’t be a song about the reveal like they did with Mal and Hades. Maybe it will be just a dialogue or a picture on a frame in Harry’s room.

We should wait and see until the ROR novelization comes out to get more information about him and come to even more crazy conclusions I think, this is just a piece of my thoughts.

I’m okay with most theories and headcanons who try to explain who is the parent of the Hook siblings, I just did this because it made a little sense and the theory reminded me to the ‘Raven is Ruby’s true dad’ theory from the rwby fandom (check it out!!) and because I am so looking for the other parent of those children. I hope this guides whoever needs a bit of an answer, even if the answer is crazy.

Thanks for reading through this madness ^^! Hope you get my point of view uu

WAIT WAITT, I relistened The Noble Trails again and I feel like @memesthatonlycatertome theory about Earis not actually stealing Zaros' idea and that the corrupt judge changed Earis' answer so they had to improvise is kinda making sense

When I was listening to ep 4 of the series, I noticed that when the Earis were drinking with Zaros THEY WEREN'T ALONE, there was a male servant that the Earis ordered to get the wine, and the wine glasses, and since Zaros was teasing the Earis that time, they ordered the servant to stay as to display power but that was quickly dismissed by Zaros telling the servant to wait/stand somewhere still kind of close to them, and then finally went to do the mock debate, obviously the servant would hear what they were debating and what Zaros and Earis answers were.

We go then to the latest ep of the series, the part where it said the Earis stole the idea, the corrupt judge requested if the Earis could go first to explain their answer because the judge was scared because the judge had already changed Earis' answer and if Zaros was the first one to explain and if what the judge thought was true, that Zaros would answer the same idea he replied in the mock debate, the Earis would then look like the one who copied Zaros' answer.

So what's the connection of the male servant here? The servant must have been paid by the corrupt judge to tell what happened in the mock debate, or the servant must have been an accomplice of the corrupt judge. The corrupt judge then gains information about the debate and purposely puts one of the debatable topic in the official debate, and so the judge successfully then does the plan in paragraph 2.

The only question that remains on my mind is that, if this is proven to be true, why did the Earis not tell Zaros about it? tell Zaros that their answer changed and they had to improvise?
