#holy shit i love these dudes so much

[three-pens]

so how will the freakin prison break arc end? (theory masterpost)

I’ve been having too many thoughts about this arc and how it’s going to end, after all it involves my top 3 favorite characters along with dazai, so I needed to get my thoughts out. Here is my brain-dump of theories and analysis:

Part 1: Dazai and Fyodor

Dazai won’t die in this arc -my first thought. Asagiri hasn’t killed off many characters, (Oda and Aku are the only ones the come to mind) and the ones that he has killed left a huge impact on someone important to them. If I were to take a guess as to whom Dazai would die around (if he does) it would be with the agency or Atsushi alone (for fairly obvious reasons) none of whom he is currently around. This brings me to my next point: if Dazai dies here the agency looses. In chapter 95 Ranpo muses that the battle above ground will be determined by whoever defeats the other. The conclusion to this is that Dazai will not die, on top of that, the agency is already in a very tough spot so if Dazai dies they’re practically done for. Of course these are only a few reasons as to why I don’t think he will die and i’m sure there are far more.

But Fyodor won’t die either- for one we don’t know anything about him really. His true goal, his backstory (not that a character needs one to be compelling, he’s already my second fave lol) not even his ability. But let’s focus on the first item on that list, his true plan, his goals. I don’t believe that Fyodor agrees with Fukuchi’s plan and stuff, I don’t think it’s his goal. For one Fukuchi is all about the magic mind control cube and controlling the world yada yada while Fyodor’s introduction had to do with the book and getting Atsushi in order to get to the book. This VERY INTRIGUING plot line has been pretty much dropped in the wake of Fukuchi. This plot line is where I think Fyodor will shine, we clearly haven’t seen his full potential, his true plan or how far he will truly go in order to achieve HIS goals. This is why he can not and will not die in this arc. There’s also the contrasting fact that if Fyodor wins (aka lives) and Dazai dies, the agency pretty much looses (basically what I said in Dazai’s section above) and that wouldn’t really work. 

Now that we’re done with our two opponents we have to talk about the main man, the enigma, my absolute favorite character of them all, the cause of this whole predicament…

Part 2 Electric Boogaloo: Nikolai Gogol

Let me just start this off by saying that yes this man is my favorite character, but god, his plan is his downfall (aka it makes no sense). Let’s say Dazai wins, good for everyone! Agency gets their Dazai back and enacts a masterful strategy to defeat Fukuchi once and for all, and Gogol got rid of his dearest friend without killing him! Yippie freedom! But we also have to take into account what he said to Sigma after he rescued him. He said he needed Sigma with him in order to figure out Fyodor’s ability, something that hasn’t really happened and wouldn’t if Dazai wins. Now in the event of Fyodor winning, uh then Nikolai’s plan literally didn’t really work? He’d have to come up with another scheme to attempt to get Fyodor in a situation that would get him killed and with enough of those, I think it would just kinda prove that he’s not free in that he would be in a constant loop of trying to kill Fyodor to prove that he doesn’t have feelings for him, which would prove he clearly does. A paradox if you will. His plan doesn’t really work for any intended outcome. But his emotions, his goals, his feelings, those are where my theories come from.

So the conclusion, neither Fyodor nor Dazai  will die in this arc, and who is the only one who can make it so they don’t die? Nikolai Gogol. Because we haven’t talked about the most important part, and most intriguing part of his plan: the poison. Which brings us to…

Part 3: Let’s get into the theories

I’ve come up with three major theories, with a few smaller ones I’ll list towards the end. Now let’s get into the theories!

Theory 1: There was no poison. They injected themselves with something that does nothing to them or something harmless or whatever- just nothing lethal. This works for a number of reasons, it wouldn’t make Nikolai the direct killer of Fyodor (something he clearly cares about I’d say even more than actually KILLING him as it proves he isn’t actually free), and more than killing Fyodor it creates the opportunity for Fyodor to BE killed. 

If this is true I predict that the breakout will proceed as usual, both Fyodor and Dazai outmaneuvering eachother at every turn and eventually when they reach the top they figure it out and have a stand-off and eventually go their separate ways with the promise of another matchup. Another option is that Dazai reaches the top first and leaves without knowing if Fyodor is dead or not. 

Theory 2: There will be two vials of antidote at the top. This introduces a variety of situations. For Gogol it works as in he would never directly kill Fyodor as there was always an antidote waiting for him at the top (so if he dies it must be Dazai’s fault!) this doubles as it really actually proves he cares enough about Fyodor to not really let him die (the double sidedness of this is very in character for him I think). 

As for the situations: whoever gets to the top first can do a bit of blackmailing, only giving the other the antidote in exchange for something, this could be a very interesting concept that could come back to haunt the other in the future. 

They could also get there at the same time and either mad dash for the antidotes (ending most likely with the situation above) or they both get their own antidotes and walk away from eachother in a sort of stand-off way, with a thinly veiled threat or whatever.

Theory 3: Dazai wins, Nikolai can’t stand the fact that Fyodor lost or smth and gives him the anitdote before he can die. This one is pretty silly I’d say but it could work. Dazai gets out and administers the antidote and leaves without knowing if Fyodor is TRULY dead but he has more pressing matters to attend to. Nikolai, unable to accept that both Fyodor LOST and the fact that Fyodor will be dying pretty directly by him (by the poison that HE gave Fyodor) and in turn gives him an antidote. He could justify this to himself in a number of ways that I won’t list (if you wanna hear some ideas just ask in the comments). I’m the end he ultimately comes to the conclusion that his plan failed but maybe Sigma found out Fyodor’s ability in the chaos and he starts planning another scheme. Who knows, there’s a lot of ways this theory could go so that’s why I really like it.

Smaller theories: 

a. The reverse of Theory 3, Gogol comes to Dazai and gives him the antidote as he realizes that Dazai is the only one who can truly outmaneuver and kill Fyodor in order for him to be free.

b. A spin-off of Theory 1: There was no poison but the “antidote” at the top is a lethal poison. This doesn’t really make sense because one of them would die but I just thought it would be interesting from a Gogol perspective. A sense of randomness so that whoever “wins” (hopefully Fyodor) actually looses. In his pov his faith in Fyodor’s winning would be his faith in Fyodor’s death. 

2b. Same thing, there’s a vial of “antidote” that’s actually poison, but this time nobody uses it. Because they’re too smart or whatever.

c. Nikolai just straight up changes his mind about needing to kill Fyodor for his freedom and just saves him (aka silly goofy times)

Conclusion(ish):

Thank you so much for reading! I hope you enjoyed my theories :)))))

i have not seen anyone talk about this but I think about it every day/srs

The first thing Ponyboy says in (book) Two-Bit's character description is "Two-Bit Mathews was the oldest of the gang" and later specifies that he's 18 and a half. Darryl is 20. Ponyboy does not consider Darry part of the gang at the beginning and it absolutely tears me apart.

I also like how out of all of them Darry's character description is first (other than Ponyboy) Because to get the deeper meaning of this book you really need to see their dynamic and understand it, I really appreciate that we learn how Pony feels about him really before anyone else.

Zionist.

saying don't fall for scams does not make someone a zionist. tumblr asks are NOT actual calls for aid!

i was just going to delete this ask like i do all scam asks, but i figured id post it just in case other people are getting similar things for... not being gullible? for trying to stop other people from being scammed and sending their money to scammers instead of actual palestinians?

many people in palestine obviously need aid. an obvious bot sending thousands of messages to thousands of people asking for "aid" will not help those people. they aren't from actual victims. they're from random people who are weaponizing the kindness of strangers to make a buck. falling for it helps absolutely no one. critical thinking is even MORE important in a time like this, stop falling for this obvious shit! they're just like the ai porn bots. they're used by the same exact people for the same exact reasons, getting money off those who are gullible. they're scumbags who are weaponizing peoples empathy to make a buck off a genocide. stop. falling. for. it.

they're trying to take advantage of you. they're assuming you're too stupid to think critically about who you think you're helping. stop proving them right.

there are thousands of actual ways to donate to those in need that aren't tumblr ask scams!

I really don’t understand why Pomni’s character has this forced implication that she’s this pathetic loser (even by Glitch the studio). Like are we watching the same show, Glitch? Pomni is … kind of a heroic protagonist. She’s so far from being pathetic, but ??? Hey, man, that new Pomster plush is adorable. Whatever man.

I’m sorry to say I think Louis is manipulating Daniel a bit there…. I just have a bad feeling. Especially with that tease of Raglan being like “you’re afraid of Armand, you should be afraid of the other one”

Yall…. Something is NOT right here.
