#delusional theory

[the-little-iral]

You know that theory of Callie and Marie having a octoling ancestor???

I'm obssessinh with it cus they become SO iconic because they easily differentiated themselves from the other character and their charisma which basically is Cuttlefish... And Octavio

And you know octarians can make octotroppers by cutting a (hair)tentacle

And also [Spoilers of Splatoon 3 Hero Mode]

.

.

.

.

Both, octolings and inklings evolute thanks to the crystals with wishes of humanity

So what if... Hear me out... WHAT IF Inklings they received the gift of asexual reproduction, so they can have their dream kid(s) with the person they love if they think about them and cut a (hair)tentacle????

... and what if certain veteran inkling did that thinking about certain octoling?????

"even if no one else accepts you, I'll live with you"

[liliumsdoe]

I'm obsessed with the way the background in this frame makes it look as if Aziraphale has wings of fire—on consacrated ground, no less — while he realises he cannot deny his feeling for Crowley any longer.

am I delusional? yes sssir !!!

As cameras becomes more normalized (Sarah Bernhardt encouraging it, grifters on the rise, young artists using it), I wanna express how I will never turn to it because it fundamentally bores me to my core. There is no reason for me to want to use cameras because I will never want to give up my autonomy in creating art. I never want to become reliant on an inhuman object for expression, least of all if that object is created and controlled by manufacturing companies. I paint not because I want a painting but because I love the process of painting. So even in a future where everyone’s accepted it, I’m never gonna sway on this.

if i have to explain to you that using a camera to take a picture is not the same as using generative ai to generate an image then you are a fucking moron.

Some thoughts on Vander and Silco's relationship

I already talked about this when Arcane S1 first came out, but now that the show is over and we got to see a different reality where everyone has a good ending (except for Vi I guess) I want to bring back my Silco x Vander thoughts

So yeah, vanco ?? silder ??? post

Even if in Arcane S1 there’s some sort of parallel between Jinx/Powder and Silco + Vi and Vander, in my eyes those two were made for an old man yaoi story

Now that we have seen Jayvik’s evolution and that glimpse of them together in a “better future”, I realized that Vander and Silco (+ Felicia) could have something similar to what was happening initially with Jayce and Viktor (+ Mel)

Two best friends working together for a common cause, one hopelessly in love with the other while his partner can’t see ―or doesn’t want to recognize― his own feelings. Since I already have a Jayvik analysis in my drafts, I’m going to focus on Silco and Vander

This will be half a theory - half a fic + I also posted this on BlueSky so yeah, if you see it there it was also me lol

[Pinning, Unrequited love and love confessions that go wrong ahead]

I think Silco and Vander were the perfect duo back in their youth, together they had the brains and the strength, using both charm and cold logic to make people eager to follow them. What Silco lacked, Vander was able to provide and vice versa. Together they were the greatest leaders Zaun could ever ask for.

They not only completed each other like two puzzle pieces, but also shared a bond that had been nurtured since childhood. They had been facing hardships and Piltover’s aggressions since they were little kids, so it was natural that the years of friendship brought them impossibly close.

Some even said that they could have entire conversations without exchanging a single word.

At some point Silco developed a crush on Vander, how could he not? Despite his strength and sometimes scary appearance, Vander had always been the big sunshine boy who was looking after him. That urge to protect and take care of others seemed to be part of his very essence, and if someone benefited from this, it was his best friend.

Of course, they needed to fight and get dirty in the deepest hellholes of Zaun, but even when Vander got his knuckles drenched in blood, Silco could only see the kind man with bright eyes and a dream for a better life that Vander truly was.

Silco really thought that this new beginning for them was only possible because Vander was there with him, since when hope seemed completely lost, when the circumstances took another member of their little family, Vander always remained firm in his stance. They would find a way, they would fight back, they would keep pushing forward and they wouldn’t stop until they finally had the future they deserved.

Oh, wasn’t he convincing? Always the beacon in their times of need, who else could lead them out of their misery?

Vander’s kindness was disarming, and his light was so bright that Silco couldn’t help but fall in love with him. He loved him so deeply it made him feel sick, but he could do nothing about it. Vander had been in love with Felicia for almost as long as Silco had loved him, and even if she wasn’t really interested in him, there was no way that man could get over his emotions.

Just like Silco himself couldn’t make his own feelings go away. He pinned for years, forcing himself to hide how he felt so nothing changed between them and he didn’t lose his best friend. He had to protect their friendship, but, above everything else, he had to protect their dream of a free nation for Zaun.

Silco pinned and suffered in silence until he couldn’t take it anymore, until his unrequited love felt like an open wound badly infected, moments away from killing him. Then, and only then, he confessed.

Vander didn’t make a huge deal out of it, he was understanding and visibly confused. It was an awkward situation, but he could be nothing but kind, even as he broke Silco’s heart. Of course, he didn’t feel the same.

Or maybe he did, but he was too blind to see it, too infatuated by the idea of a future with Felicia to give a shot to a real future with him.

Vander had used a very familiar word to excuse his lack of introspection, one that served him as a shield while unknowingly harming Silco as if it had used the sharpest of blades.

“Silco, you’re my brother…”

They used brotherhood a lot to describe their relationship. Their found family, their friends, their allies in the Zaun revolution and even the fucking pilts, they all could see how deeply they cared for each other. And every time that was the reason they assumed to be behind their bond.

No one could ever deny the love in their eyes, the protective gestures, the smiles... It was obvious, but everyone assumed that what they shared was a blood bond. For Silco it was much more than some stupid liquid running through their veins, what they shared had been built over years of companionship, years of pain and struggle, blood was fucking nothing in comparison. Their souls were connected in a way no one could ever imagine or understand.

And Vander knew this. He knew how strong their bond was, but he hadn't really asked himself if what he felt for Silco was something more than brotherhood. He didn’t know what he was supposed to do if it wasn’t the case either, but he didn’t go as far as to truly consider it.

Vander didn't know how to react to Silco's confession, he didn’t want to hurt him or change their world forever. He was happy as they currently were, it was easy to live with Silco as a brother, but he didn’t know what was waiting for them if he ever allowed himself to analyze his own feelings.

Because of this, and completely unaware of the pain he was causing, Vander uttered that seemingly harmless word that Silco couldn’t stand anymore.

Brother.

The softness in his tone didn’t make it any less devastating. The pain in his eyes, as he knew how badly he was breaking Silco's heart, didn’t make it easier to hear.

The countless "I love you"s he pronounced after that, reassuring that even if it was not the same feeling, Silco was still one of the most important people in his life didn’t soothe the agony of his reopened wound.

None of that mattered.

Because he didn't feel the same as Silco.

The same word that once had been forced on them was now stronger than anything he had built together.

Silco didn't want to feel that pain, he couldn't allow it to stay inside his chest, not when it was so profound.

So he decided to leave The Last Drop. It would be only for a couple of days, to distance himself a little from the source of his pain and try to stitch close that damned cut.

During that time, alone and completely heartbroken, he focused on thinking of ways to achieve the goal they had been fighting for since they were teenagers. The Zaunite revolution and Zaun’s independence. He ignored his pain and used all his anger to plan their next move in their fight against Piltover, thinking of new ways to finally defeat their enemy.

It was during those days, blinded by the pain of his aching heart, that he understood they could only win against Piltover if they showed their true nature to the world. He knew by then that they needed to be more aggressive in their methods and destabilize, not only their government, but also their peace.

Let their own people know what monsters they had for leaders.

Let the people of Piltover suffer the same pain they had suffered since the very moment the City of Progress came to be.

The fight had turned into a way for him to forget his own suffering, and in his anguish, provoking pain to others stopped feeling wrong at all if that meant they could get closer to their goal of freedom.

It was at this point where the conflict with Vander started. Suddenly, the word "brothers" didn't quite fit them anymore, it seemed too caring for them. Now it was a word pronounced in a low voice, and when it was Silco the one saying it, his tone could only express disgust. He rolls his eyes as if the word was some sort of sick joke he hated to voice out loud, a reminder of what could never be.

Silco’s pain is a heavy weight preventing them both from going back to what they once had, and seeing this wounded Vander every single time his friend reminded him of his rejection. This, and how differently they started to approach their fight, made them step further and further away from the other.

And when they saw each other during important meetings, Silco threw the word “brother” extremely carelessly, always with the intention to wound Vander instead of calming him and expressing how much he still loved him.

It had turned into a word that neither of them could ever forget, and that would hunt Silco until the end of his days.

It had turned into a word that neither of them could ever forget, and that would hunt Silco until the end of his days.

[There's still a lot of resentment in Silco's expression, and in this scene before saying brother, Silco rolls his eyes. The man was PISSED]

In conclusion, I think "brother" was Silco and Vander's equivalent of Jayvik's "partner" and I bet Viktor was pissed as hell everytime he heard someone reffering to him as Jayce's partner AND JUST THAT, for both scientific pride and his hopeless crush on Jayce Talis.

Small wip I'm working on of my favourite old victorian men, based on some photos I saw on Pinterest yesterday.

Big problem tho, I think there's something very wrong with the colours (it always is, with me, hard to pick them) so I thought I'd ask for y'all's help before I render It?

stranger things broadcast channel… count your days fr do not play games with me because immediately my brain went to: THIS IS A HINT THAT WILL IS STAYING AT MIKE’S HOUSE BECAUSE HE DOESN’T HAVE A HOME.

[bluecounter]

i love that noah has a matching mirage jacket now but after multiple rewatches, i just noticed that noah and mirage are just mirrors of how they first met each other

so in their first scene together, noah is seen wearing a colour block windbreaker while mirage is in his classic blue and silver striped paint

but in their last scene together, it seems that their colours have swapped. noah is wearing a blue and grey striped windbreaker while mirage is essentially a colour blocked car

kinda indicating that they have build such a strong connection together that they’re starting to reflect each other subconsciously, which is a sign of comfort and emotional intimacy when bringing it into the context of a romantic relationship

[colin-becher-death-countdown]

this is gonna be me when Trevor Herbert appears waiting for him to make any reference to his brother Nigel

[girlbossmel]

Jayce and Ekko are trying to fix time from the void, to prevent the end of the world due to Hextech, and in the middle of this Jayce is gonna come back, and Mel is gonna come back and that’s when Mel is gonna reveal that she’s pregnant, but maybe Jayce already knows that and that’s why he’s trying so hard to fix things. For his family.

[cr33p5]

OKAY

i know that it’s probably just a rlly mundane or stupid reason for doing 3 and 3 for a video right?

and obviously it’s like nothing huge but THINKING ABOUT IT for more than like 5 seconds is making me tweak out

“so i grabbed logan and patton and here we are” PARDON??? PARDON ME? and you didn’t grab virgil? in the year 2025???

i know it can be chalked off as like ohh virgil is embarrassed he doesn’t wanna do the trend ykyk but like, the idea that he just didn’t even bother with him is CRAZY. welcome back season 1!??

like semantically, how crazy is it that virgil’s actually being lumped in with janus and remus exclusively??????

like yeah it’s been seen or referenced before like in the “if tss was an anime” video, but that’s still different bc they were all in a lineup so it was all of them there, and even though they lined him up closer to janus and remus, he’s still clearly *part* of the “light” sides

and not to mention like, EVERY one of these like silly filler or joke videos, it’s always just janus and remus being “left out” from the main 4, like merch too is always just the main 4 and then janus and remus are like usually left out until later

and also considering how much virgil clearly doesn’t like them and tries so hard to distance himself from them and what he used to be, that it’s now like officially 3 and 3 ????

and like yes ik it’s probably just for an easier video format or some shit to make a two parter

BUT YOU GET WHAT IM SAYING RIGHT??????

(delusional)

like fr i don’t think it would’ve been that much more to include virgil w the other three, or honestly just knock ‘em all out in one video but

that’s still like crazy to think about right or is it just me

also side note (no pun intended)

roman saying “what’s up doc, me that’s what” was CRAZY i was like, okay.. i see the remus in you. i see the parts of you that you hate. tone it down, boy.

ANYWAY that’s just my first deranged ramble guys pls reply if u have anything 2 add on i luv talking about virgil 🙂‍↕️🔮

Why did no one tell me that Ataru is the OG tsundere? smh...

[laurrelise]

ok so i had this random idea about five and im just going to ramble because maybe it makes zero sense and everyone will shame me but HEAR ME OUT

ok so five was thirteen when he disappeared into the apocalypse. diego and luther grew up playing pranks and tricking their siblings at every open possibility. what if.. they tricked five into believing that santa was seriously real and he didn’t find out the truth until post apocalypse, post commission duties, post returning to the future, post everything.

like, this five, right here, as a 58 year old man, just finding out that santa was a lie.

ok i know everyone’s going to say “five is too smart for that” just hear me out and let me live in my delusions because i think this is funny

ok so i love the idea that diego and luther planned a bit with the other siblings to play a prank on five long after they were told santa wasn’t real to convince him that he was. so, they all sat him down and told him the “truth”.

diego had the genius idea of telling him that santa shared five’s power of teleportation, and that’s how he was able to get from house to house so quickly. five told them he didn’t believe them, but deep down, he was so excited at the idea that it could be true.

eventually, he started to believe them. five’s always been one of the smartest siblings, but when 6 other kids you completely trust gaslight you into thinking you’re not alone, you let yourself hope.

immediately after five’s accidental time jump, diego and luther joke about him being gone, saying things like “he’ll find his way back to lecture us when he finds out about santa”.

he never did find out.

delores never had a word to say about santa. five was too focused on getting back to the future during his time at the commission that he rarely made small talk. how could he ever find out?

[entity-treasury]

Ok I’m actually insane about the new episode of protocol (30) so more thoughts, spoilers ahead

Celia didn’t know Jmart saved the world so she thinks she doomed Sam to an eternity of his worst fear.

And she might have

While magp takes place AFTER the eyepocolypse, tma has made a point that the rift is a crack in TIME and space.

And in mag 166: worms we hear about a

Worm

Named

Sam

Who spent his entire life buried under the pressure to succeed

Who does that sound like?

I joked about it as a bit when I first started protocol but

Man

Now I’m not so sure

KNY Theory time!!

Have you ever noticed ? In each taishou rumor in the anime , they're in the stage with red curtains .

What if everything was just a school play ? Or a theatre play ? What if the manga was just the script and everyone in the show are only actors?

What if the gakuen was what their life is really like ? WHAT IF?

What if everything was just a play everyone was paid to?

Sorry I'm doing this to cope after reading the manga

Note ; This theory is not proven and is just a guess .
