#having Betty Thoughts againnnn

[elasticitymudflap]

one thing i'm fascinated with is how after betty made her wish and reset the crown, gunter/orgalorg seemed to physically FUSE with the crown, making it so it can never be taken off or used by anyone else (simon) in ooo ever again

farmworld finn was cured of his crown curse by prismo (in the funniest fucking way to address an animation error ever) removing the crown and placing it back on corpse simon's head before the bomb detonated again, removing it from the playing-field of the farmworld reality im assuming

my guess is that in every universe they venture to they're going to find one reason or another why simon can't access the crown again, all as an extension of betty's wish

... and going back to the subject of her wish

rewatching 'come along with me' got me thinking again. the line from betty's failed wishes to "banish golb from ooo" or for him to "disappear", that golb is "too powerful, even for the crown", it makes me think her assessment of the situation wasn't completely accurate. we know that wish magic is super powerful, but in the crown's case it needed to resonate with the deepest desire of the wearer - which in betty's case was having "the power" to keep simon safe

prior to her wish, she referred to golb's magic as "the most powerful force in the universe", which she was trying to use for the purpose of saving him. i'm wondering if maybe the pre-requisite for making a wish to banish golb/have control over him—the "most powerful force in the universe"—would be having to re-write reality itself to give someone else a level of power above even golb. with that in mind, this now kind of looks like a being above golb taking over his mind and possessing him instead of a straightforward fusion of the two

one thing keeping me rolling with this theory is that in the flash of golb before accidentally portal-ing cake, we see pre-wish golb's eyes flash, not the eyes of golb as we last saw them, and we do see them in prismo's time room.

my conspiracy theory that im definitely wrong about is that i dont think she actually fused with golb, i think she's actually something beyond comprehension now: a force in the universe that can control even the most powerful beings like golb, hold dominion over the multiverse, she can overwrite them and force them to obey her one and only command: get your fucking hands off my cringefail malewife this instant
