I feel like most people don't take this seriously but I keep thinking about the fact Mr Chimes canonically doesn't have eyes daily and I think I might have a theory why and how it comes to be so, even though and especially when he's based on puppets/toys that have eyeballs that he technically should have.
This might be more casino related and a little off but I still want to share this: We all know Mr Chimes is a toy and not actually alive, which also goes for, for example, Dr. Kahl's robot. The robot is not alive and doesn't have a soul to sell, that's why, once the deal was made, it was Kahl's soul being involved. It was the doctor's soul that would land in the Devil's hands afterwards, however, not his robot's. Chimes is a cymbal-banging toy and he's most likely to not being able to own a spirit either, that's what makes me think: what if, in order to make a deal (whatever it's supposed to be about) with the Devil he needed to give away something else instead of his soul, perhaps, in fact, HIS OWN EYES?? (Or maybe promise to work at the casino forever as well?)
It would make sense since the Devil has his own collection of eyes. Most belong to demons but who knows... maybe he also keeps Chimes' eyes there?
I doubt anyone would want to read this and I'm sorry this turned out so long but maybe it makes a little sense in some kind of way.🙏

Valentine’s day special
Since today is valentine’s day I decided to do a post about this one thing I noticed between King Dice and The Devil. The first scene with King Dice and the Devil is in Roll The Dice where King Dice calls the Devil to tell him he has Cuphead’s soul. One thing I find interesting is that in that scene the devil’s eyes are covered with cucumbers.
The next scene with them is in the same episode when the devil fires king dice from his show. His face is obscured in shadows so you can’t see his facial expression.
The in release the demons when King Dice first walks in the room once again you can’t really see how the devil reacts to his presence there. Only his demand for his second finest demons.
Then in down and out the first time we see the devil’s reaction to seeing king dice is his pupils dilating. Note that this is the first time we see his reaction and King Dice is not able to see him in return.
Then when he confronts king dice personally, he’s once again obscured in shadows to the point where you can’t see his facial expression.
Now I bring all of this up because, I have my own personal head canon/theory that this may represent how he wants to hide how he feels about king dice. I definitely think that the shadow obscuring his face might symbolize this. I also think that it’s interesting that as far as I could tell he never did that around any other character and thought it make a crazy theory about it for valentine’s day. Also don’t forget to #renewthecupheadshow by spreading the hashtag around and watching it on netflix.

Devil Theory
This is an idea I've had for a while now about the inhabitants of hell. How hell became the way it is. And why stickler looks different from the imps. Remember those really cool tapestry that the devil has in his throne room?
Well, my theory is these tapestries are meant to represent how the devil became king of hell and what happened to the demons before his reign and how hell became the way it did. I think what happened after he fell from heaven he went on a rampage destroying all of the demons that lived in hell except for very few that managed to survive. As seen in the left and right tapestry the devil's surroundings are very dimly lit and not on fire as we see hell in the present. I think those two represent how early hell looked before the devil took over. And the middle one represents the end of his rampage and how he was starting to make hell to his liking.
Something I noticed about these tapestries is the demons look nothing like the imps we see i the present.
These demons have their own unique features and are very different from the imps that we've seen in the show. They are also being eaten, tortured, and burned alive from the devil. My theory is that after he fell the devil went on a rampage killing most of the demon population around him. And after his rampage was over, he decided to repopulate hell by creating imps in his own image.
I mostly came up with this theory because, I thought it was cool. I also thought it would kind of explain why the imps look like the devil and why they're the only demons besides stickler and the finest demons and the guard demons look different. I also think stickler and those others look different cause they are some of the only "real" demons left. Further evidence of this is dd confirmed stickler isn't an imp.

Was cuphead drunk while making the deal?
I'm pretty sure we (cuphead fandom) know about the game theory that the cups are filled with moonshine... well... that made me wonder if Cuphead was drunk while making the deal... I don't know where he got it from, but I'm guessing he stole it from Porkbrin's Emporium... idk, but it sounds like something he'd do...

Another cup episode idea because I need to be sedated /j
“Hunting season”
This episode revolves around the relationship between elder kettle and the brothers (also on my personal hc about cuphead)
The episode starts as elder kettle and the brothers running an errand at porkrind, as the kettle and porkrind talk, porkrind mentions that there’s several reindeer in these woods and that the hides are worth a hefty price. So elder kettle seeks it as an opportunity for some cash, and takes the boys with him to hunt the deer, and to “toughen them up.” Which leads to a conversation between Mugman and the kettle, saying both him and cuphead are a bit different from the other kids, and that it’s ok to be sensitive, and how elder kettle should actually listen to what the boys have to say more. In which elder kettle ignores.
Cuphead is more excited than anyone because he loves deer. But that causes some miscommunication with him and elder kettle.
Much to cuphead’s distraught, it was not a deer-watching trip.
And much to elder kettle‘a distraught, deer were cuphead’s favorite animal.
They begin bickering, but they become separated after a hungry pack of wolves find them, causing a scramble. Elder kettle and Mugman make it back home, but cuphead is still in the woods. Mugman forces elder kettle to go back outside and find cuphead.
After lots of searching, and self questioning on of he really does know his boys, he finds cuphead. Cuphead is fine, but a baby deer from the herd they saw earlier is injured.
Elder kettle urges cuphead to go home, but cuphead refuses to leave the calf alone. Elder kettle eventually feels guilty and agrees to help the calf.
With bandaging methods he learned during his time in war, he patches up the calf, and lets it find its mother after cuphead says a final goodbye.
On the walk home, elder kettle apologizes to cuphead for his behavior, in which cuphead forgives him.
The rest of the walk, the two laugh and talk as boy and elder.

GODD THIS THEORY!!!!!!!! THIS THEORY NEEDS MORE ATTENTION!!!
The DLC and Selfishness
I just realized something.
The DLC tells you something about Cuphead and Mugman as characters (and also Chalice too) because of how it's set up
The base game is all about self-preservation.
The DLC is about selflessness.
Think about it. All the bosses in the DLC are selfish. They're all criminals who hoard the ingredients for themselves for unknown reasons. This isn't clearer than with Esther, considering she has a vacuum which sucks up goods and valuables.
oh yeah and i guess saltbaker too
It's a stark contrast. Chalice's goal is, inherently, a selfish one, even if not nearly to the extreme the other bosses or especially Saltbaker's are. She wants herself to be alive again, and needs the brothers to help her. However, where Saltbaker's selfishness got the better of him, Chalice is able to overcome it by not accepting the Wondertart at all, even if it couldn't be baked.
She could have chosen to let Saltbaker have one of the brothers, people who she barely knows, but she doesn't.
Or, if you look at it with her in the jar, it still works. Ultimately, she just has to accept that having the Wondertart "just ain't worth it."
With Cuphead and Mugman, the time they express it- and by "they" I specifically mean Cuphead- is in the base game. The base game is them specifically making up for that mistake, and the DLC is spent showing how selfless they truly are.
They get no real reward for helping Chalice. They aren't getting the cosmic powers of the Wondertart. But, they do it anyway since they care about her.
I think this is why Saltbaker is such a good endgame villain. Whereas Cuphead is selfless (save for that one time), he's selfish and takes what he wants. Honestly, Saltbaker could parallel the bad ending, too. If Cuphead were to continue to be selfish, he'd end up similarly.
Like. If Cuphead DID continue to be selfish after the book closes on the base game... could he have ended up like Saltbaker? Not that extreme, but somewhere on that spectrum?
Maybe the base game was a good thing, after all. Without it, he may not have learned that lesson.
And, maybe that explains why Chalice is suddenly there, too. After all, as far as we know, she never owed her soul. So, if it was actually selfishness driving the DLC, it makes sense she'd appear in the bad ending, too...

You know I just realized something today King Dice has escaped death in almost all of his appearances in season 1.
1. Is when instead of killing him the devil instead just takes his show away. Which is incredibly lucky considering how the devil usually just shoots anything that annoys him.
2. Is when in Release the Demons he shows up late when the devil incinerates his first finest demons. And when the devil incinerates his second finest demons henchman saves him by pulling him behind a rock.
3. Lastly in Down and Out when the devil and king dice reunite the devil intends to destroy him like he promised in release the demons but before doing so Dice reveals his plan about getting cuphead's soul and after he fails the devil rehires him.
The only time he appears and doesn't almost face death is in the devil and miss chalice. And in all of his appearances it seems he survived based on sheer luck. I wonder if at some point maybe his luck will run out? Just a thought. I mean it’s a very out there theory but I love coming up with those so enjoy my madness.

Guys I noticed something in the comic..
King Dice has no flower in this comic.
But in this one he does.
And what is The Devil sniffing in the newspaper?
The same fucking flower.
