#ihaveatheoryonthat mystery kids

[ihaveatheoryonthat]

As much as I love the nonsense that could come of certain Mystery Kids worlds interacting-- particularly Bill being from the Nightmare Realm/Mindscape/whatever and the potential connection to the Collective Unconscious-- and the fact that Bill messing with (up to and including possessing) Raz has become something of a staple, I feel like RoR changes the dynamic. Especially in that possession scenario.

Because RoR was all about being a floating consciousness playing with and changing the world around you. And-- even ignoring the mental worlds/astral projecting-- the original game had a similar scenario. As much as a smartass as Raz is, that wouldn’t go unnoticed. Like,

"Oh, great. I'm a disembodied consciousness who can’t communicate with anyone around me. Wow. Never heard that one before."

or

"You could at least put some more effort into it-- right now you're being as creative as a literal rock. Except the rock kept me from using my powers."/"I mean, Coach made me sneeze my brain out! How cool is that? This is just... boring."

Wound up doing the extended zodiac quiz this morning, and immediately extended it to the Mystery Kids crossover. This gets long because I like to cite direct information, so it’s going under a cut.

Raz was first, because he’s the character I understand the best out of the cast. For him, I’m torn between Aquarist (violet, prospit, time) and Aquius (violet, prospit, breath). I’m leaning a bit toward Aquarist.

Violet:

“Violets built their own drum, and it's probably weird.”

Natural weirdness, but also contrarians

“Personable and outlandish”

“Ready to make friends with anyone“

“Hard time holding their tempers, [if they are] belittled or ignored.”

“An intellectual connection is necessary for them to be attracted to a prospective partner.“

Bonus: violet has the “Aqua” prefix

Prospit dreamer

“Flexible optimism”, “reactive and intuitive”

Exist in present, not future or past

React based on instinct and emotion

“Quick to act and reliable in a crisis“

“Can make them capricious”

Solve problems creatively, see multiple solutions

Possible aspect 1: Time

“They are fundamentally incapable of accepting things as they come.“

Act over accepting something

“even if that may not be the wisest or safest choice”

Goal-oriented

“you won't find them making that journey in any traditional sort of way.“

“If you need a miracle, they are who you call.“

“Empathetic and relentless problem solvers” at best

“Ruthless, defensive and impulsive” at worst.

Possible aspect 2: Breath

“Flexible and driven”, “leave an impact wherever they go“

“Sweep others up to carry along in their wake”

“Can be difficult to catch hold of or tie down“

“Often, heroism comes along as an offshoot of them pursuing their own personal stories.“

“Motivated, adaptable and forward thinking” at best

“Volatile, avoidant and gullible” at worst

Lili was the logical progression, and I’m thinking Capricen (purple, derse, blood), but wouldn’t rule out Capriza (purple, derse, mind)

Purple:

“Ambitious and driven”

“They have a very specific path in mind“

“If their practical brains convince them that their goal is unrealistic, they may be slow to trust anyone with the secret of their true desires.”

Funny, but “dryly macabre”

“People who will say [...] what everyone else was thinking”

Stubborn, difficult to dissuade once they’ve made up their mind

Trouble admitting they were wrong and/or upset

“In love they tend to be strictly monogamous and fiercely devoted, ready to pledge themselves to a person the same way they do their goals-utterly, and without reservation. “

Derse dreamer

“Personality marked by a distinct and restless skepticism. Whatever their waking circumstances, chances are they will live in a state of dissatisfaction.“

Identity built on control, “will do their utmost to hide any insecurities“

“Inflexible and pessimistic, but [...] great problem solvers”

“Facing conflicts head-on with shrewd, calculating minds”

“Find sincere vulnerability difficult“

“will often keep people at arm's length“

“constantly look toward the future and analyze the past.”

Possible aspect 1: Blood

“Draw their strength from bonds“

“trust and camaraderie that blooms among a group of people who all share a single vision”

“Blood-bound are absolutely leaders”

“They are prophets, rather than generals“

“Giving others the strength and motivation to keep fighting.“

Give great advice, “even when their own lives and interpersonal relationships are disasters.“

“Charismatic, uplifting and magnetic” at best

“Sullen, unkind and set-in-their-ways” at worst

Possible aspect 2: Mind

“Universe’s great thinkers”, “But don't for a second think that means that they have all the answers.“

“when a Mind-bound finally launches into action, they can execute a plan with unbelievable grace and precision“

Emphasis on being logical

“Innovators, architects, creators” at best

“Nasty, inflexible, indecisive” at worst

Mabel is next, and I’m pretty sure Libinus (teal, prospit, hope) is best for her, but stopped to consider Liblo (teal, prospit, heart).

Teal: Libra/late August birthday. As dictated by the twin’s canonical birthday, I didn’t choose this so much as highlight how it could fit.

“Natural charmers”, “social and flirtatious”

“Great at parties and public speaking events.“

“Strong moral sense”, “right and wrong are very obvious”

“It can frustrate them that others don't see the world the same way they do.“

“Idealism can make them strong defenders of justice“

“Can also result in them being incredibly let down.“

“They can be gullible and too quick to trust.”

“They have vibrant imaginations, and enjoy fiction and roleplaying“

“Often those games will resemble the lives they want“

“Have a tendency to get involved with people who are very obviously wrong for them out of a desire not to be alone.”

Prospit dreamer

“Flexible optimism”, “reactive and intuitive”

“They have trouble thinking things through, and their feelings toward specific situations and decisions can change from day to day.“

“They solve problems with creativity rather than cold logic, often seeing multiple options with ease and clarity.

“Naturally trusting, they have trouble with deception or hiding their true selves, and will often worry about what others think of them. The self they project into the world is often not under their control.”

Possible aspect 1: Hope

“They do right for right's sake“

“what they see as the "right" thing may not always be the universally accepted view.”

“Put great value in the power of the imagination“

“ability to dream up a better and more beautiful future“

“If anyone could dream a better world into existence, it would be one of the Hope-bound.“

“Aren't adverse to a little destruction”

“especially if they think they can replace it with something better and more just“

“Positive, caring and warm” at best

“Narrow-minded and selfish” at worst.

Possible aspect 2: Heart

Very concerned with themselves

“Forging an identity is extremely important“

“every decision and action goes toward building a coherent narrative of their own story.“

“Competent, imaginative and steady” at best.

“Overbearing, inflexible and cold” at worst

Dipper I don’t understand quite as well as Mabel, but I’m pretty sure he’d be Lipia (teal, derse, light), or, less likely, Libza (teal, derse, mind).

Teal: Libra/late August birthday. As dictated by the twin’s canonical birthday, I didn’t choose this so much as highlight how it could fit.

“Right and wrong are very obvious to [them]”

“It can frustrate them that others don't see the world the same way they do.“

“Their strict adherence to procedure can lead to errors in judgement“

“they can be gullible and too quick to trust.”

“They have vibrant imaginations, and enjoy fiction and roleplaying“

“Often long for a hero, someone they can idolize and count on, with the smarts and charisma to keep up with them.“

“Unfortunately, they have a tendency to get involved with people who are very obviously wrong for them“

Derse dreamer

“marked by a distinct and restless skepticism.“

“cerebral and self-aware”

Understand self better than world around them “which they can find alienating and confusing.“

“Identity is built on control”

“will do their utmost to hide any insecurities, often with false humility or self-deprecating humor.“

“but they are also great problem solvers, facing conflicts head-on with shrewd, calculating minds.“

“Tend to be introverted”

“they find sincere vulnerability difficult and will often keep people at arm's length.“

“Letting go and living in the moment is hard for a Derse Dreamer; they constantly look toward the future and analyze the past.”

Possible aspect 1: Light

“Above all, driven to learn and understand.“

“Scholars and researchers”

“Dedicated to knowledge for knowledge's sake.“

“Will go after knowledge with a fierce intensity that others may find distasteful.”

“Aren't overly concerned with laws or norms, either.

“Often take rules as simple suggestions, [...] searching for loopholes or work-arounds.”

“Resourceful and driven” at best

“Fussy, pedantic and insensitive” at worst.

Possible aspect 2: Mind

“Don't for a second think that means that they have all the answers.”

“Very concerned with remaining rational“

“Easy for them to see the multitudes of the choices laid out before them, which often leaves them frozen and unable to act.“

“Remaining logical is more important to them than building up a solid foundation of "self."“

“Innovators, architects and creators” at best

“Nasty, inflexible and indecisive” at worst.

Norman I’m also torn on, pretty evenly between Piga (fuchsia, derse, space) and Pittarius (fuchsia, derse, void). I was also considering Pimini (fuchsia, derse, doom).

Fuchsia:

“Strong imagination”

“They have an otherworldly quality to them that draws others in.“

“Has more to do with what they don't tell you“

“[have] an air of mystery that would [...] perplex [them] if you told them”

“They aren't usually trying to be alluring-they're just lost in thought.”

“Sensitive and anxious”

“spend a lot of time worrying-about the world, the future, and what others think of them.“

Derse dreamer

“Marked by a distinct and restless skepticism.“

“Cerebral and self-aware”

Understand self better than world around them “which they can find alienating and confusing.“

Identity “built on control”

“do their utmost to hide any insecurities“

“self-deprecating humor.“

“Tend to be introverted”, “will often keep people at arm's length.“

“Constantly [...] analyze the past.”

Possible aspect 1: Space

“Patient”, “inclined to take things as they come”

“isn't to say that they're pushovers or willing to let injustice lie”

“choose their battles wisely”

“understanding that sometimes you have to let something burn to the ground in order to build it back better and stronger than before.”

“Concerned with creation and redemption”

“the journey is as, if not more, important than the destination; how they do something is as important as what they do.“

“Steady impartial and creative” at best

“Detached, apathetic and vague” at worst

Possible aspect 2: Void

“The universe’s secret keepers”

“The unknown doesn't scare them”

“Where others might see emptiness, they see potential.”

“Value mystery and the unexplained“

“Not particularly bothered by not having all the answers”

“In order for something new to be built, the old, rotting foundation must often be razed.”

“Wise, intuitive and vibrant” at best

“Dismissive, indecisive and apathetic” at worst.

Possible aspect 3: Doom

“Understand that misery loves company“

“Ready and willing to provide said company.“

“They are commiserators, aware that sometimes the only thing you can do for a person is let them know that they are not alone in their suffering.“

“Not the advice friend”, but the friend to vent to

“Wise, kind and non-judgemental” at best

“Bitter, resentful and fatalistic” at worst.

Coraline... I am not especially confident in my understanding of. It’s been awhile since I’ve seen the movie, and am relying heavily on what I remember of her motivations/actions. That being said, I’m thinking she could be Airborn (rust, derse, rage), Arittarius (rust, derse, void) or Arun (rust, derse, breath), though I think Ariborn is the most accurate, with my current understanding.

Rust:

“Adventure motivates Rust Signs more than anything“

“Crave new experiences, the wilder and farther-from-home, the better”

“They are confident and energetic, ready to face the unknown.“

“Makes them great leaders”, “can also make them foolhardy”

“Often, they don't posses the level of caution they should for someone so willing to jump into new things.“

“Their willingness to trust can get them into trouble, but they are also incredibly resilient. Their ability to bounce back from trauma and injury leaves them as the toughest sign class on the spectrum.”

“Make great friends and traveling companions, but they also can be selfish and quick to anger.“

“If what they deem to be an acceptable level of "excitement" isn't happening around them, they have a tendency to try to stir some up.“

“If someone doesn't live up to these [standards], they may deem them not worth their time.“

Derse dreamer

“distinct and restless skepticism.“

“Whatever their waking circumstances, chances are they will live in a state of dissatisfaction.“

“Rebellion is in their blood”

“Will do their utmost to hide any insecurities”

“They may be inflexible and pessimistic, but they are also great problem solvers, facing conflicts head-on.”

“They see one true path among [the] wrong ones.”

“They find sincere vulnerability difficult and will often keep people at arm's length.“

Possible aspect 1: Rage

“Bringers of chaos”

“They posses great contempt for lies or false ideas, including the stability that false ideas can impart.“

“To them, the true is far more important than the good; they would tear down a system just to destabilize it if, by their reckoning, it is built on faulty premises.“

“Bringers of confusion and doubt, and [can be] difficult to convince otherwise when they have attached themselves to an idea.”

“Original, revolutionary and fearless” at best

“Cruel, uncompromising and vicious” at worst

Possible aspect 2: Void

“unknown doesn't scare them“

“where others might see emptiness, they see potential. A blank page, an empty canvas, that's what the Void-bound live for.“

“Where others might be compelled to go out and seek answers, the Void-bound lean more toward casting doubt on what is already considered fully understood.”

“Wise, intuitive and vibrant” at best

“Dismissive, indecisive and apathetic” at worst.

Possible aspect 3: Breath

“Leaven an impact wherever they go”

“able to sweep others up to carry along in their wake,“

“Although Breath-bound do make very good leaders, breath tends to be a very personal aspect. Often, heroism comes along as an offshoot of them pursuing their own personal stories.“

“Motivated, adaptable and forward thinking” at best

“Volatile, avoidant and gullible” at worst.

I have no idea about Neil or Wybie since I haven’t seen either movie in ages, and don’t feel comfortable going by their fandom interpretations, lest I mischaracterize them.
