I'm working on a project and wondering if anyone has any good Fandom Conspiracy Theories they'd like to share? I'm looking for things about the fandom or meta of the show, not the plot. Some examples:

Sherlock's secret 4th episode

The Pixar Theory

Eleven from Stranger Things is 3 inches taller than Millie Bobbie Brown

The One Direction boys are all secretly gay

Season 2 of Agent Carter takes place in California because the writers were mad people were shipping Peggy and Dotty

What I'm not looking for is things like: "I think X will happen because of in universe reasons".

The irony of Jean Bison owning trains and railroads when IRL the construction of the Transcontinental Railroad nearly led to the extinction of bison (in the U.S. not Canada where he resides but STILL)

Let’s meet the band so far! While on the hunt for the fifth member, we thought we’d share the band so far! Meet José, Alé, Matthew, and Sebastian, the Kids Of the Future!

José is the bands oldest member at 19, he’s the leader and the “cool one”. Not much of a talker, but he’s always there for his friends. He was born in October, 1937.

Alejandro, 18, is the social one. Always ready to start the day with a grin! He loves to dance and spent most of his childhood in dance studios perfecting his craft! He was born in the Philippines on May 6, 1996.

Matthew Caddel is the prodigy! Born with something called “perfect pitch” he’s often leading the practices and writing songs when he can! Matthew is 16, born November 6th, 1900.

Sebastian, also known as “Sebby”, loves comic books and cartoons. He turns 15 in February, and is really excited to see an X-men themed celebration. Sebastian was born the year 1980, alongside his favorite superhero- The Dazzler.

The boys of KOTF are super excited to release their upcoming debut album. Checkout for more information at www.KOTF-official.com!

Will they let you see it?

I’ll try and open it for you.

So I have a theory about the papa's that ties to the robo papa we are seeing. This robo papa has 3 forms, similar to the previous papa's and that had me thinking about how we see the trinity and how it connects to the body. It also raises some other connections with the possible horsemen theory about our 4 lovely papa's. To start off I want to explain why I see each connection to the specific papa's.

Primo, he is the horseman of famine, the mind and father in the trinity, and he takes the form of the skull robo papa. He is the foundation and the pillar of the mind and belief. In his album, we hear this dedication he has to his faith through ritual and con clavi con dio. Famine is heard in stand by him and Elizabeth and prime mover. Held together with the "I'm crucified" cover.

Secondo, the horseman of war, the soul and son of the trinity, and the muscle of the robo papa. He is the call to action and the will of the soul. We see his personality give rise to a call to action but also to act on our soul desires. He is deeply sad and angry taking position as Papa with neutrality. His album we hear his voice call us to act on our desires and the call to action in year zero. The connection to the son while not super apparent connects with his willingness to step down from his position as Papa, willingness to give up and accept his retirement. The cover of "I'm a marionette" supports the theory.

Terzo, the horsemen of death, the body and spirit of the trinity. He takes the form of the flesh of the robo papa. His album presents the question of death and what comes after, from pinnacle to the pit is reflecting on his fall from power for his strong independence. He is the papa that is outspoken and not afraid to push the ministry on their own beliefs and traditions. He embodies the confidence and independence that challenges life and looks death in the face. His album also reflects on the physical and spirit. We hear this through absolution, spirit, and he is. The cover of "if you have ghosts" speaks to the physical fighting the spirit, that regardless of the physical desires, the spirit has everything. Like his status of the horsemen of death, and the uncontrollable nature of death that happens when we least expect it he is removed from papa status and we see his death along with the others after his removal.

Copia, the horsemen of pestilence, the vessel for the dark one/satan/etc. He is the copy of that is waiting for inhabitants. Because we see him as the first papa to break the bloodline of the previous papa's, which is a very important lore peice, he is able to be a clean slate and able to succeed where the previous generations have not. How does he connect to the previous papa's for the horsemen theory? Well, we see in his album as cardinal, he's untouched by the sickness of his pestilence as he's not yet papa. But his album warns us how with every album before his rise to power, he was in the background. The overarching themes of the albums before prequelle struggle to only support war/death/famine. When we see these themes, pestilence, sickness, and corruption take place. In rats and faith, it's shown to us that these pests are everywhere and always watching and listening. This growing madness of the mind, body, and soul is ever present and can not be stopped. When copia becomes papa emeritus iv is when his full horsemen power begins to degrade his form. The madness and paranoia and personality shift to untrusting others is apparent. He gears his ghouls up for war. He dresses himself as a commander and fearless, strong leader. But underneath that facade copia is fighting the pestilence that plagues his mind and soul. That leaves him wide open to become a vessel, both mind and soul weakened to not fight the dark one inhabiting his body. As said before, he's a copy, not by blood line but by a pillar to usher in the end of times. We see this now in the LP he shifts lyrics to put himself as the devil, as the dark one that will reign.

Hope this is entertaining I'm having fun with all the possibilities, the connection of trinities and how we could see the hag, the mother and girl possibly?

dragon, kelpie, manticore!!

Dragon-Last thing that made you smile?

Purrcy finally sitting down on my lap!

Kelpie-Festivals or concerts?

I've been to both, and I have to say concerts. I went to Warped Tour twice, and it was always SUPER hot and miserable. There usually were only 2-3 bands out of the whole lineup I wanted to see, so the price tag wasn't worth it towards the end. That, and people are animals in festivals. I've never seen so much overflowing trash in my life! So I would say concerts!

Manticore-Picnics or hikes?

Both!! I like hiking, but I'm so out of shape, it's gotta be an easy trail lol. I like hiking some and then taking a break to picnic 😊

Thank you, Sibe!! 😁

OK Guys. I get the skepticism esp after the Knuckles disaster, but we also need to keep in mind "this is a trailer that won't spoil literally everything about the movie." ESPECIALLY in regards to GUN. They're not gonna put in the trailer "the military shot a little girl and that's why Shadow is mad so Sonic is going to never work with them ever." That's a great way to get parents to bring their kids to the theater, especially in America. (/s)

It's WAY more effective as a plot twist halfway through, where Sonic thinks that he's finally being accepted onto Earth via working with the government only to find out that they're exploiting him and Shadow the same. I can't guarantee this is gonna happen obviously but it's like a 90% chance just knowing how, like. writing works.

Esp considering the government has not had a good track record in the last two movies, I dunno if they'd do a heel-face turn into "actually they were always right" in the movie where a little girl needs to get shot by the government.

And I'm not gonna say "trust and form a parasocial relationship with a film director" but we should keep in mind that Jeff Fowler got his start working on Shadow's title game and has stated in interviews that he understands how important Shadow's backstory is to his character. Not to mention how the internet has been exploding the last two years with enthusiasm over this story actually getting shown onscreen, enough that a studio would fucking notice at the very least that this is what the people want. I can't guarantee they'll actually listen, but saying that they're absolutely not because "Sonic was in a GUN helicopter in the trailer" is insane. Especially with the fact that GUN is not with Sonic when he goes to Eggman. We just see Team Sonic alone meeting with Stone, and I will bet you it's because there's no way in hell GUN would let them near him, what with the Robotnik connections to the ARK.

Also the Gerald thing is rather worrying, esp with the lack of shit they gave Pachacamac in the miniseries, but honestly I think that was just a marketing push of "Jim Carrey will be playing TWO characters!!!" Considering he's only seen in one trailer scene AT the ARK (where all of Gerald's technology was and, more importantly, where the Eclipse cannon he needs someone to set off is) AND we know from movie 2's credits scene that there was a fifty-year timeskip, I severely doubt that's the real Gerald who's just completely unaffected by his granddaughter being murdered.

And ofc there's things to be concerned about in the trailer. The lack of Rouge for instance– I obviously keep posting my theory that Krysten Ritter's character will be her undercover but the fact we don't know how much time she'd actually have with Shadow, if at ALL, is worrying. The fact that Rouge might not be here period. The weird pacing of the Knuckles show and the fear that could bleed over into the movie. But there's also stuff to get excited about– the epic fight scene choreography, the brief glimpse we got of Maria and Shadow's bond. Reeves's voice actually fits Shadow and at least from what the trailer showed us it looks like the Green Hills storyline is taking a backseat to the action and mystery of Project Shadow.

tl;dr guys calm down for like five minutes. if the movie sucks in december we can riot then. right now let's just band together against mufasa
