I need to share this, someone else noticed that with the exception of Ms. Scatter who is the host, Farja is the only recruit who has a slight change in her appearance and those are her earrings. In total there are 4 and they are very cute, I have seen some fanarts and comics that I don't know if they are fan theories or are based on things that the characters would have said in the presentations, but apparently they are gifts from Jafar for Farja. Would not it be cute? Of all her earrings, which one do you like the most?

Aww! That's actually adorable. I did mention in my last ask that Jafar and Iago had a relatively good relationship. So, the idea of Jafar gifting something to Faja, well intentioned or not, wouldn't actually be as out-of-character as some would think.

As for the earrings themselves, they're all beautiful, honestly. But my favorite is the first one, it has some character to it.

Thanks for letting me know about this! I love mini facts about these guys that I sometimes miss.

Ride or Die Theories & Happy Ending Theories

Ride or Die MV is Pre-Dum Dum MV

MV begins with Jeff in a straight jacket because those placed him there knows he's dangerous. Becky is there as an agent/investigator interrogating Jeff with pulse detection which jumps when Becky places her hand on him, meaning attraction. The images shown as ink splotches (Roschach Ink Bloch test?) include crowns and what can be identified as a white (moonshine?) gem, which one can assume Jeff's pulse increases from memory of adrenaline (heist).

The tattoo: "What's done cannot be undone" Perhaps a very brief flashback (kind of a overlay of sorts?? Jeff giving us a tiny reference to help us put this together?? Maybe.)

Lyrics:

Take the wheel, and I go anywhere You know I'll go anywhere With you

So, then he's more or less recruited by Becky (maybe she's unable to get solid evidence to get him jailed?), so she pulls a risk to get him involved in a pre-meditated heist (a little confused if this is a federal job she's double-crossing gang affiliated members with being in a warehouse. Breaching prison (order/federal) into open space (chaos/gang heist)?).

Jeff being attracted, goes along with it. Either because of Becky leading or because of just the adrenaline, or both. Most likely both.

The King (Jeff)/Queen (Becky) black and white symbolism is the external, full picture, situation. Jeff obviously sees himself as powerful and now he has someone at his side who sees him and is on equal ground, kneeling for the crown as if waiting for the acknowledgement of loyalty. Power couple things.

So the heist goes well, they get the crown with the red gem.

Red can be a symbolism for passion/fire.

Passion is also synonymous with LOVE. For Jeff Love for Becky is true. It's genuine. For Becky??? Attraction is there obviously, but love? Maybe more of deceit on her end. Maybe once everything calms down (blood on her hands) there's regret?? "What's done cannot be undone" would also match here.

Becky double crosses Jeff taking the gem from the crown, taking the passion. Stabs him and rides off.

So the black and white scene of Becky (Queen) taking the crown away from Jeff (King).

They're back in the interrogation room, and Becky places the red gem down on the table as her witness statements plus evidence is proof and he's jailed?

Then the camera views out to Sunshine (blue hair = Sunshine) watching from a monitor, playing with a flame from a lighter.

Play with fire and you'll get burned.

Fire = Passion = Love

Sunshine got burned by Becky.

HOW DOES THIS CORRELATE TO DUM DUM?

Blood drip puddle forms a heart, which in this scene is receding back in time (remember this as it correlates to the end scene).

Sunshine has a Love Die tattoo (which can match with what happened in Ride or Die). I'm theorizing that this Sunshine is the present (Dum Dum MV timeline wise).

This is where things get dicey. So there is one scene where there's essentially two Sunshines, the mirror effect, however the one on the left has darker blue hair (Sunshine?) while the one on the right has lighter blue hair (Moonshine? -- dye job on white (?) hair).

There's a couple of ways to play this, I'll return to them at the end. It's a lot, and I may be pulling from Infinity.

Back to Dum Dum. So Sunshine…has an assault rifle where he goes to a WAREHOUSE/ABANDONED BUILDING to kill people who may have betrayed him in some way or another. I'm unable to tell if these are strictly gang members or defunct agents turned gang members after a certain heist placed them in hot water (this could be a stretch but I do feel like there's some kind of connection there).

How do we know they know Sunshine?? The first person dressed in black bolts inside where they think they can gang up on Sunshine.

There is red lights and fire which returns to the passion/adrenaline line of thought.

Sunshine has a little snake tattoo under his eye. Cover up, maybe? Hide the past?

We never got clarification, let alone any inkling, on why Sunshine is so…feral. Burned love? Maybe.

BLACK TIE, there is two brief scenes of black-haired Jeff wearing a black tie. One is running through the same building, I don't know where this is timeline wise. Anywhere.

The second scene is the last shot. Literally in this case.

Notice in blood is SUNSHINE MOONSHINE.

Time is reversed, reviving Jeff. Are those specifically placed angel wings with blood? I didn't notice until now.

The mystery of Moonshine…but first! Think of each MV, each character reveal as just another character of Jeff's…personality. Let's go with that. Moonshine is Jeff. Jeff is the creator of all this…chaos. Jeff is god to his characters. Moonshine is playing god in his universe. So, each Jeff is an alternate version of each other.

I don't know about anyone else but my Original Characters are derived from a portion of my personality. Just exaggerated with their own backstory, interests, trauma, etc.

In Dum Dum MV, Moonshine possesses/saves (???) Sunshine (Post Ride or Die MV), which is indicated from that Mirror effect.

AND/OR!

It's all tied together. Moonshine is collecting…interacting with…his alternate versions which is creating this kind of temporary merge of realities (Ghost [side note: song in the perspective of his wife?]/Yellow Leaf), which means that poor Black Tie Jeff got accidentally shot in the scuffle, he's innocent (angel wings) and is then revived by Moonshine (creative brain says that Sunshine insisted Moonshine revives Black Tie -> Black Tie MV? [Sunshine is feral, but he's not heartless]).

I rewatched the Asia Tour promo video, and we can see Moonshine with a blank book, couldn't figure out what the word said at the bottom corner ("believe" maybe? Or it's in Thai, so I really won't know). Could be just a reference of Jeff's songwriting, but it's still writing.

Jeff is writing a story through song form. Very good for him, I can't do that. If I want to write a story, I'll just write it.

Though I'm not sure if he knows where this story is going.

There's a brief scene in Yellow Leaf with brain scans/mapping (??) which can correlate to Ride or Die with the pulse/brain wave activity….this got more complicated.

I'm gonna start thinking that any kind of brain imagery will be the cause of Moonshine until further notice.

Done with MV theories.

Happy Ending Theories: Jeff likes to play with Time-Space continuum ideas (so do I, like it's an entire worldbuilding, fictional lecture and everything), especially if it correlates to everything we've seen so far (it's not supposed to work, but it does).

Writer's Unite! The world you've created is now an alternate reality to Earth if the main setting is Earth. If it's an entire different world with it's own rules; magic, government, entities, citizens. It's now an alternate universe, but it's still connected to Earth because you are the Original Writer (God to that Universe).

I'm sorry it's the only way I could explain quickly without getting too…lecture-ish.

Finn & Damon is a online story (ao3 original story? [think about that for a moment])….everyone good?

Anawin likes that story but is unhappy with the latest update.

What do we do as a fandom when there's something we don't like? We write fanfiction. Anawin goes into a deep dive into his own fix-it fic, and instead rewrites the entire thing. Breaking character molds and recreating Damon's personality.

Creating this gateway from this alternate earth (Finn & Damon story) into the…we'll call it original Earth.

Now Damon (and Finn, eventually?) are in the original earth where they find out quite horrifically that they're existence is because of the creative brain by their original creators.

Anawin is creating his version with the original version of the story in the same world (this where my and Jeff's brain diverge). As in the teaser and trailer we got, Damon has this struggle between painting and murdering (red paint = blood?), kind of a split personality situation, and it's Anawin's fault.

Kind of two souls in one body.

Damon in the world is split between living peacefully and murdering, making his killings reach the news. Anawin is the one to realize the similarities, and somehow finds out that maybe if he removes the existence of his own story, it'll fix everything.

However, Damon finds him first. Makes Anawin write the story his way, how Damon wants to be perceived.

Anawin makes a stand maybe against Damon (we all love it when Chay is one of few people who isn't scared of Kim) and with his…analysis?…of the Finn & Damon story line, being able to pick out Damon's personality. Anawin accidentally love bombs Damon .

Damon ends up wanting this affection/attention, likes having Anawin's focus. So there's this struggle in being good, breaking his original character mold for this new shiny version crated by Anawin but not in this power difference-esque.

I'm sure Finn shows up makes a problem in their domesticity/slice of peace. As the natural "Enemy" of Damon.

The black and white scenes?? Maybe changes in the story that Anawin makes.

How this ends? World is saved by Finn & Damon returning to their alt Earth.

(I swear to Moonshine if this is a time loop situation…)

Hiya! It's been awhile...and this isn't a fic prompt lol

Anywho, I've been watching Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss. And I haven't seen almost anyone with the EXACT same theory as me. So, I'm going to get into it here lmao

WARNING: Spoilers Ahead! Heed With Caution!

Okay so, a lot of people also think that the mysterious Lilith has Alastor's soul (this isn't my whole theory just the basis). I do too and I'll present you with evidence I have collected:

Alastor and Lilith have both been gone for seven years.

There is a rumor that Alastor 'fell into holy arms' according to Zestial. And who do we know is in heaven? That's right, Lilith.

Now, time for the rest of my theory! During Alastor's fight with Adam to me it seems that Alastor isn't fighting at full power. Also after their fight he had a breakdown and started singing about the deal he made. Kinda out of nowhere if you haven't seen the light like I have lol! And I have considered that the shield might have taken a lot out of him. And that he was singing about wanting his freedom bc he was almost double dead. But I don't think that is completely the case here.

Do you remember the show of power he displayed when Mimzy brought trouble to the hotel's doorstep? He turned into a giant! Not only that but he was also using his shadow magic! And after a whole music number that he used his powers for! Here's a pic if you don't (I couldn't find a gif)!

And in the finale we learn that Lilith has a deal with Adam. So, I believe that due to the constraints of Alastor's deal with Lilith he couldn't kill Adam.

Boom, now you too have seen the light lmao, you're welcome

[whimsicallywiddershins]

Watching this week's episode was fresh hell, having to relieve our best girl Nobara's death. But I'm still holding out hope she's alive. I'm hoping she did something to herself to carve out that piece that Mahito touched.

Because Nobara might be essential in the fight against Sukuna. Her technique Resonance touches the soul. It worked on Mahito. It doesn't just do physical damage.

And that linking-voodoo ability might be able to damage Sukuna without harming Megumi. Nobara could theoretically hammer Sukuna's finger, and hurt or even kill Sukuna's main soul. We saw that a battle of pure power can't take down Sukuna, so the best option would to be clever.

Nobara coming back after nearly dying to help kill Sukuna would be absolutely amazing. Or even to deliver that final blow. Just like all of the battles she fought with Itadori before, where Itadori fights full on, and she comes up behind with that kill shot.

Our girl is a strong one. Her technique is using nails to kill people. Her soul is made of iron. She will be just fine.

"I think I figured it out," grumbled Doctor №069 as he scrubbed another dissection table.

"This superstition that if you scatter poppy seeds in front of the undead, they will start counting them. Because of you, Quaestor!"

"You are extremely clever for your vapid head, Doctor №069," Valdemar grinned, carefully placed their polished scalpels.

(Based on a true story. Thanks to ApostleJay for such fun)

Here is some information to consider... ⏬

Note: this belief is more common in Eastern Europe, and no, I absolutely don't like headcanons about "Russian Ilya". Also, I remember the Devs' speech: Jeff Goldblum is a reference for Julian. Who is Jeff Goldblum? A Jew. But his family was from Eastern Europe and there were so many Jewish towns. Nevivon looks like one of those towns. For example, the kitchen in Nevivon (*"the Warm Welcome") is divided into two areas: meat and dairy. What is this? The basic principle of kashrut. "But Julian was born near Nevivon"? Yes. But Tasya said (to the Lishka; again, definitely not "a common Russian name", "Lishka" sounds much more like something Czech) about the treasure that is only passed on through the female line. An elegant homage to a specifically Jewish cultural thing, iykwim.

Also, the whole image of Julian is a stereotypical Jewish image in European culture: he's redheaded, a doctor, a violinist*, etc. Sorry not sorry.

(*Technically he is a vielle player, but the vielle is a precursor of the violin. And: no, there have never been any vielle players in Russia, except the modern times, represented by rare baroque ensembles.)

Definitely not Russian, diminutives like "Ilyushka" are not specific to Russian language, Portia is not a common Russian name (neither are Pasha and Ilona, her mother). And... have you ever heard of, say, Antonín Dvořák, the famous Czech composer of the 19th century?

BTW, ApostleJay and I have a theory about Portia Devorak. Nothing special, we're just guessing about the reference: Portia, the female protagonist in "The Merchant of Venice". Why not, since the game itself has enough references to classical literature.

At last: I once saw a Julian-kinny boy here. And he said he wanted to learn Russian to be more like a Julian. Poor boy, if you ever see my speech, here is my unsolicited advice.

Please don't learn Russian to be more like Julian. Learn Yiddish. It will be much more in character.

(Czechia? Maybe Bohemia? I need Julian singing "Bohemian rhapsody", IMMEDIATELY!)

HOT TAKE TOURNAMENT!

PRELIMINARY #211

Submission 778

guys please stop jumping the gun and making insane theory videos when things are literally just beginning to exist

i don't even know if this is even actually a hot take or even lukewarm but from the amount of theory videos and speculation posts and people just being so assertive in their ideas for things that LITERALLY JUST CAME OUT or got revealed (for things like tv shows and multi-part series, not things that are already complete when they come out. ALSO WHEN THINGS ONLY HAVE TRAILERS) im inclined to believe so, and im not necessarily talking about simple speculation on what could happen based on such im talking about FULL BLOWN THEORIES based on like 2 pieces of evidence grasping at straws and not waiting for any sort of further substance to back them up with their ideas. people are so impatient and i get it it's fun to think about something and form ideas to try and explain things that have or will happen. it's exhilarating to be able to be one of the first people to come up with an idea on something. but oh my god i just wish people could be patient instead of putting anything they think of out there on the internet, because 1. it just comes off as desperate for people to listen to you and 2. people can and will take such things at face value, and if they end up not being true later then that's going to leave a mark on whatever is being theorized about. i just want people to have a little more patience that is all i ask. this happens time and time again and im so TIREDDDD

*cough* Sorry, hairball.

Anyway, propaganda is always encouraged!

And remember to reblog your favourite polls for exposure!

I have a Fandom wide question, and I don't just mean the fandoms I circulate in. So if you see this, weigh in.

I remember fan days, weeks, and months. Fandom events in general where we all created our own works. Whether it be in fanfic, headcanons, edits, art, etc. It was something you, the individual, did. Nowadays it seems like people can't bother to create themselves and it's all just commissioned art.

Like. What happened?

I've been in and hosted so many events in my life and was fun to see everyone put in the work, it didn't matter how good your creative skills were it was the fact that you created something out of love for the character, series, or ship. Now, it feels like people just do the bare minimum sometimes by paying someone else for artwork. It's always gorgeous work it's just frustrating.

And I'm not saying everyone does this. I have seen many people share creative works. Using commission pieces for a fanevent use to be taboo. If memory serves quite a few events wouldn't even allow it if you didn't personally make it.

ok, but like..... tell me i'm wrong!!!

OK I SAW THIS THEORY IN THE COMMENTS OF THE NEW BALANCE AUDIO AND IT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE. (it's by @raspberri_myx6637)

🚨SPOILER WARNING🚨

The Sovereigns could use the deal with Brachium to make Hush. With everything we know about him, how he was "Put on Elegy for a reason" and that "He was put there for a purpose" AND also the fact that he has a BROTHER (sorta) THIS ALL LINES UP. With the deal that Brachium just accepted with the Sovereigns happening before we know about Hush (and presumably before he was created) in universe timeline it lines up very well. AND, Hush said that his brother wants to kill him because he is "Sacred of him because he is different" and "he's scared of what he might do" THAT COULD BE BRACHIUM TRYING TO STOP HUSH. The Sovereigns said specially that Brachium only had to follow one order from them, with that one order in this theory being used to create Hush through Brachium somehow, Brachium would no longer have to be obedient to the Sovereigns and he would most likely try to go after what they made him do while in the deal and try and stop it. That could be Hush and his purpose. (Also Hush's entire being being very very different to everything else that exists in the current world of redacted)

(Again credit for this amazing theory goes to @raspberri_myx6637 on YT)

Did they sneak us a Sonya? [MK1 spoilers/speculation]

So I'm just gonna put alllll of the context and theorizing below the link for spoiler avoidance

This is out of Invasions. Here's the full image; this woman is right behind Nitara's wing, up in the top right corner.

So it's... not Nitara, ostensibly. But it's light hair, and a face that... makes me think of someone else.

Now, this is out of the intro to the Invasions mode. It could very well be an alternate timeline!Sonya, much like we get alternate!everybody, and *not* the "in this timeline" one. But they've been so fucking conspicuous about NOT showing her ANYWHERE... I can't think of what other female character this could be.

and also pictured in that shot?

is that a Kano?

[sclfmastery]

My friend asm5129 (that's his Tumblr URL) had an idea regarding a recently-introduced character, and I thought you'd like it: "If i were RTD id seriously fuck with the fans by making Mrs. Flood a post-Missy, fully changed Master living their last life in retirement & making meaningful connections & memories. It pays Missy’s arc off while also creating a lot of wiggle room for Masters that are more complex & anti-hero-esque AND Masters that are more classically cruel. It would make it an interesting reveal as to why maybe she stole the gold tooth: it's literally her in there! Not a real theory, just something I personally would do."

I will fully admit, this was the first thing I wondered when she seemed suddenly so knowledgeable about the Doctor and TARDIS, and then spoke directly to the audience.

I guess a part of me hopes it's not the case only because that would imply that it took the Master until the end of their life to begin down a healing path. But it would be very Davies and it would make sense.

[sweetiepie08]

Media that is objectively good but hot cancelled too early also falls into the fandom zone as it also provides space for the fandom to grow. However, it has a limited lifespan and appeal, due to a lack of new content to feed on. These are the media that result in small, but dedicated fanbases.

Ex, the Dark Crystal fandom.

stating to think there’s an inverse correlation between how good media is and how easily fandomizable it is 😁

Hot take and not to be a killjoy or the shipping police but people treating Viktor or Jinx's aroace headcanons as if they were canon is not the revolutionary take people think it is.

Headcanons are always all right but we have to acknowledge that they are somehow damaging when they apply to stereotypes. It might not be the case for everyone but most of the time people unconsciously assume that disability/mental illness=asexuality. These headcanons erase the freedom of attraction from people who are already seen as unable to have sexual/romantic experiences/desires, when it's completely untrue and harmful.

You can headcanon Viktor and Jinx as aroace, but I have seen people changing their minds once Viktor is no longer disabled (s2 with all of his other forms) and Jinx is no longer as mentally ill (alternate universe Powder). And it speaks wonders of how people see these characters.

"I never thought about Jinx being able to feel romantic/sexual attraction until s2!" To believe she's actually only capable of that when she's not "damaged" is incredibly disturbing. Especially since Jinx has always had a bit of a flirty personality too.

"I've always seen Viktor as asexual, I don't know why!" That's fine. You can headcanon him as ace. But I believe there is a reason behind it, most of the time, if for some inexplicable reason the "vibes" of the disabled character are making you think he's ace.

I say all of this being aroaspec myself, by the way. Headcanon all you want but going to people's posts commenting how "it's weird for you that they have romantic/sexual plots when they're clearly aroace" is not a win at all. It's a headcanon, after all, and it should be treated as such, and that's fine. But it also is damaging to spread stereotypes like these.

Of course the disabled character is asexual. Of course the mentally ill character is aromantic. It's not as revolutionary as you might think, tbh.

Fandom is not activism and it's all right to have any headcanons you want BUT some of them are filled with damaging stuff and perhaps we should look into ourselves more before treating these assumptions as something canon.
