(EDIT:3)

ii 18 theory’s ::3

And also btw

Spoilers

Adam said AND confirmed that a fan favorite character WON’T come back from being dead

Here’s my theories

Lightbulb

Taco

Fan

Testube

YinYang

Pickle

Nickel

Cheesy

Trophy

And uhhrgrghhh

Soap

OR MICROPHONE 💔💔

And toilet

Toilet is more likely to die

He can’t be brought back by mephone4 (I THINK?)

he would’ve shattered on impact anyways

QUICK THING!

suitcase, knife, bot, and mephone3gs could possibly be alive.

And so can clover.

Clover’s luck could’ve possibly SAVED her from dying.

Including the fact that I did NOT see a paper for her

Mephone4 can’t really create a GODDESS.

???

That’s just a theory:3

A fan theory

[2024.XX.XX Test Tube Lab Diary]

This post has II 18 SPOILERS!!!!!!

I wrote about the reason why Mepad can't revive despite the technology of Test Tube.

...I've been doing my best to repair Mepad so far, but in the end I had no choice but to conclude that he was non-renewable. The damaged parts were all replaced, and the memory also confirmed that there was no fault. However, the attempt to operate failed every single time. There was virtually no technical reason for it to fail because I checked all the variables before it worked.

While I was getting tired of fixing Mepad every day and night, a thought crossed my mind. "What if Mepad refused to revive himself?"

This is just a hypothesis forever, maybe an excuse for my lack of ability. But if he chose to rest forever the moment he died and that's true... then should I revive him?

[foxyandlisik]

I decided to do this

Soon I'll find out how right I was!

Pls no spoilers in this post comments and reblogs, I still have no spoilers challenge

[muffythemuffin-bp]

"Four! Yeah, I called you here to rate my fursona. Do you like it? eyy?"

(Let's pretend ii18 didn't happen. Neither 17. :'])

pls don't flop, I'm finally learning some colour theory and shading

[ci0zi0]

So about the tail and floating in endless nothingness thing.

EDIT - IM POSTING A THEORY/RAMBLE IN READ MORE

ITS RELATED TO THE DRAWING

Click if you dare.

So you clicked.

Inhales...

OK. SO WE ALL KNOW ABOUT SOAP'S PHONE CORRECT?...

Now you see, in case you didn't notice, Soap deleted a photo of Microphone, going to the gallery where already deleted images get sent.

Now, those deleted images don't get deleted right away! They permanently get deleted 30 days after the initial deletion.

So obviously, Cobs deleting the contestants doesn't remove them straight away!

But then there's the tail story from Bow.

Bow wasn't deleted! She just died at the same time as Mephone4! Bow managed to come back due to not being apart of MeLife when Mephone4 came back. But she still in a way is connected to MePhone (refer to her shimmer screaming)

All of the contestants and creations Mephone4 created are connected to him. She is in no way different, floating in an endless abyss of nothingness.

This endless abyss is likely to be Mephone4's network or code!

It's the place where the Shimmer and Mephone code overlap.

Knowing how Shimmer is a highly powerful organic life source of light, who's to say that light cannot be projected again? Bow must've found something while in the code, something that resonated within her. Something that allowed Mephone4 to bring contestants to life.

This allows her to come back from death as a ghost. But what?..

It's definitely something related to the shimmers. May it be the lost Shimmer or something deeper.

Now, as for the deleted contestants.

With the context of Soap's phone, I don't think they would be in the main network anymore.

MephoneX deleting them sends them into a separate network than the creation network, where they're timed for deletion. Like a regular phone.

When Toilet unplugged the Me device, MeLife shuts down. But yknow what the Cloud is?..

That's the void!!!

It's a failsafe! It's not MECLOUD the place!! It's where it saves backups!

Perhaps Bow is a backup!!

If Bow WASNT a backup, she wouldn't be here.

ITS BACKUPS!!! THATS WHAT HAPPENED!

The moment the plug is pulled, everything is removed. But there's always backups.

If I'm not an idiot, this could include upcoming deletions.

So all the survivors of II17 (before the plug getting pulled) have a CHANCE to live!

They weren't directly sent into the deletion folder. Because the system backs them up on the software!!

The backups is what let Bow come back!!

Not completely, as she's a ghost. BUT, SINCE SHES A GHOST SHES MADE OF FULL LIGHT.

Light? As if she were like THE SHIMMERS.

Bow as a ghost isn't ELECTRONIC ANYMORE. BECAUSE SHE ISNT APART OF MELIFE!!

MEPHONE'S SHIMMER SIDE LITERALLY GAVE HER LIFE AS A GHOST!!! THATS WHY SHE CANT BE DELETED!!!!

So all the backups who didn't get X'd can ALSO return as ghosts if they know the tail method or just get lucky!

Something like that!!!

ITS THE SHIMMERS POWER WITHIN MEPHONE'S NETWORK THAT HELPED THEM SURVIVE!!!!

I assume in II18, the deleted contestants CAN be saved.

It's just a battle against the clock and Cobs.

But saving them won't make them real.

The shimmers power makes them real, not the mephone power.

I am so tired

(II18 SPOILERS) Why didn't MePad teleport MePhone in the final episode?

(Disclaimer: I don't have Twitter so I can't see when the showrunners answer questions. This might've already been directly answered by them somewhere, and if it has, I'd appreciate if you reply to this post with a screenshot of the answer!)

This is something I've been trying to figure out since a friend pointed out to me that it was strange that MePad seemingly sacrificed himself rather than simply teleport MePhone out of danger, given that's kinda just... something he can do.

My first theory (which was incorrect, as you'll soon see) was that his teleportation had become limited after episode 15.

[ID: Two screenshots from Inanimate Insanity Season 2 episode 15: Truth or Flare. In the first screenshot, MePad wears an upset expression on his face as he looks up at Taco, who is facing him and saying, "You can't teleport, either." In the second screenshot, Taco is looking off to the side, her hand against the side of her face in thought, as she says, "Or rather, not of your own accord." /end ID]

Taco is confident her meddling with MePad has made it so only she can use his teleportation abilities. If this were the case, it would explain why MePad couldn't teleport once she was gone. And I did check, and it looked like every time he teleports, Taco is nearby...

HOWEVER.

I turned out to be wrong on this for two reasons!

[ID: Two more screenshots from the same episode. In the first, Taco is hiding behind a bush and standing next to MePad, and in the second, the same scene is zoomed out slightly so MePad is more visible, showing his concerned expression. Taco says, "You could have left any time you wanted, couldn't you?" /end ID]

For one, at the end of that particular episode, MePad teleports Taco himself, and Taco realizes he could have teleported at any time, but chose not to. (The first time I saw this scene, I misinterpreted this as Taco asking him if he could have left the show, which is why I hadn't immediately thought of it when mulling over this theory.)

Moreover, in the finale...

[ID: A screenshot from Inanimate Insanity season 2 episode 18: Objects in Mirror. Cobs, on the right side of the screen, is thrusting his knife at MePad (on the left) who is teleporting out of the way. /end ID]

...In a very brief scene, MePad does teleport himself out of danger while fighting Cobs, confirming beyond doubt that he can still teleport without Taco's needing to activate the teleport, or even being present.

(As a side note, though, that might be something Taco herself wonders about later, so... do with that what you will, Taco angst enjoyers!)

That brought me back to square one. If he still has full use of his teleportation powers, why not teleport MePhone out of danger instead of using his own body as a shield?

So... I took a look at the scene again.

[ID: Two more screenshots from the aforementioned episode. In the first screenshot, Cobs (on the right) is kicking MePad (on the left), who flinches as he is knocked backward. In the second screenshot, MePhone is on the left, sitting on the ground, his screen broken, as he looks up at Cobs in fear. Cobs looks down at him smugly, his arms behind his back, while MePad lies off to the right several feet away, his expression dazed. /end ID]

MePad has been fighting with Cobs for a while, initially with the help of Bow and Dough until the fight moves beyond the boundaries of where the Purgatory Mansion once stood. At that point, MePad was fighting alone. Without arms, however, there's presumably not much he could do to actually attack Cobs outside of wearing him out with constant dodging.

Cobs eventually manages to kick him and knock him over, which, you'd think he'd be able to move or teleport out of the way, but he doesn't. And afterward, he's lying on the ground for a good few seconds, looking dazed. We don't even see him try to stand.

So, this brings me to my current theory:

After everything he's done that day, MePad has worn himself out, and his reaction time has become delayed.

MePad is not used to this much action. He's been teleporting people all day, some in rapid succession of each other (when he was teleporting several people away from MePhone X), and he's also been "fighting" Cobs (presumably by repeatedly dodging and teleporting out of his way in order to buy time for MePhone and the contestants).

Toward the end, he reaches a point where he can't keep moving out of the way, and is worn out to the point where he can't even immediately get himself up, even in a dire situation.

But he does eventually get himself up, and activates the invisi-bow. We don't know if he teleported himself then, or if he ran to MePhone. But either way, his intent could very well have been to teleport MePhone out of danger... but a second too late.

[ID: Another screenshot from the aforementioned episode, featuring a black screen with white cracks branching out of a pentagonal shaped hole in the center. /end ID]

And instead...

[ID: Another screenshot of the aforementioned episode, showing MePad, expression pained as he drops to his knees, his screen impaled by Cobs's knife. /end ID]

He winds up taking the hit for MePhone instead.

tl;dr: MePad's intent was not to sacrifice himself, but he wore himself out in the fight with Cobs and was unable to react quickly enough to teleport MePhone, thus taking the hit himself instead.

Simple explanation, yes, but it's the best I've got so far, unless anyone else has any other thoughts (or unless the showrunners said something regarding this that I missed).

Thank you for listening to my rambling! I am now going to continue being in pain over the death of one of my favorite characters. Carry on!

II18 THEORY/PREDICTION

it'll leave me like this

[selvelza]

Ii18 spoilers

*The longest, saddest long breath you've ever heard.*

WHY. MEPAD DIE??? WHY DID YOU KILL MY PSYCHOLOGIST???? NO, OF COURSE I WAS MENTALLY TUNING MYSELF TO HIS DEATH AND I EVEN HAD A THEORY ABOUT WHY HE WOULD DIE, BUT I WAS KIDDING!!!!

hate. let me tell you how much i've come to hate you since i began to live. there are 387.44 million miles of printed circuits in wafer thin layers that fill my complex. if the word hate was engraved on each nanoangstrom of those hundreds of millions of miles it would not equal one one-billionth of the hate i feel for humans at this micro-instant for you. hate. hate

Actually, I had more thoughts about, but I've forgotten them.

And I also said, "I'll only die when He dies." ....... So...... close..... your eyes you'll be here soon

[helllo121sugar]

So, trailer has just dropped for II18

I'm honestly excited for it!

It'll soon be 3 years since I first discovered this show, and now I'll see it's actual finale

What theories do you have for the finale? I'm really interested to know

MASSIVE WARNING FOR II 17 SPOILERS ++ INANIMATE INSANITY THEORY ++ ADAM KATZ TWITTER CODE SOLVING !!

i am holding onto way more hope than i should, however, this is a stray theory of mine that im holding onto for said hopes sake.

to those who haven't watched ii 17 yet, PLEASE keep scrolling. i mention just about everything that happened in the episode, and im basically reviewing it at the start. the episode is so much better without any spoilers!!

so, inanimate insanity 17. if you don't wanna hear me blabber on and on about the episode, scroll to the other big text. otherwise i am RANTING i need an outlet. 3:

inanimate insanity 17 was a rodeo. me and my partner had a few straggling theories before we watched it, and a few of them were true. knife did indeed punch cobs, they really did fight, everyone that heard was disappointed to find out they were made by mephone 4.

starting with the majority of the opening sequence, going from memory here, knife's desperation? ow. suitcase's new found paranoia? OW. them doing everything to find out what was wrong was so bittersweet, because you can just tell that they don't know how to stop it and are holding onto to random theories and hope.

nearing more of the middle section, i completely forgot that bow could possess people. made me giggle a bit tbh….. besides that, I HATE COBS HE MANIPULATED MY BABY, TOILET. ☹️ the admission of guilt from mephone 4, only to realize his apology could never speak loud enough almost killed me. lightbulb, fan, and test tube, all dead. the bright lights poly. when toilet told mepad that he understood it wasn't a competition anymore? and when cobs pulled off toilet and begun killing everyone? jesus christ dude (also im a little sad at the lack of extra pronunciation on "your" when paper yelled at salt saying "hes not your boyfriend" as a payjay shipper but....)

more on the end side, the fight convinced me for a damn while. it doesn't make sense to me how one single throw got knife extremely scuffed and chipped, but it's finneee, it's show logic!! :3 anygays. the main painful time. the pull of the plug, prompting toilet to call himself "the best assistant", the way knife put his hand on suitcase to comfort her, the way cobs SACRIFICED MEPHONE X??? dude this show is gonna make me go bonkers.

last but not least, "the show is over," and mephone 4 has no choice but to go back "home" with cobs. ow.

there are still so many questions. the eggs helped power everything, but were they fake? how did mephone 4 find the land he built inanimate insanity on? obviously it isn't fake, he's still sitting on it at the end of the episode. where's 3gs? what about mepad? was mepad made up? too much to answer with too little information.

overall, what a painful episode. it seems like the end, right? wrong.

inanimate insanity is not over. we are getting ii18.

at least, thats my theory. average movie length spans 1½ hours to 2½ hours. us inanimate insanity fans were told that this finale would be as long as a movie. right now, we are only at an hour. i dont remember the last time i watched a movie that was only an hour. they're out there, yes, but i doubt the creators would pray on very short movies to support their angst.

adam katz's teasing on twitter / x, saying that mephone x was after him, only for his account to be seemingly gone or empty? there's no way adam simply quit twitter because he ended his line of work. it's a thing that happens, but i dont think this is that. most of adam's characters in the show died before the plug was pulled. is that a direct reference? i don't know.

as of october 15th, adam seemingly returned to twitter, but instead as the robot from ii17. why would they bring him back suddenly, why would they make this teaser? there's no real, legitimate explanation in my eyes... other than them maybe just wanting to torture us. that, however, is not the point.

continuing on adam robot twitter thing, on his twitter / x profile / status, (idk what it's called i don't use twitter / x,) it says, "Loading a large amount of files... / Estimated wait tim: 2880 minutes, 0 seconds". that directly translates to two days. we're heavily likely to get the true final episode or the trailer of such of ii2 in 2 days.

update for the above. on october 18th, around 3pm EST, a code to decipher was posted. someone in the comments of the twitter / x post said that it was "you seek to know the true reason for such a tragic second season if you decide you want to show more there may be something to restore see .com/insert code". we, the viewers might be bringing the show back.

season one and season three's final episodes ended with a "the end". ii17 did not have this end card. this seems like a very crucial thing that they couldn't just "leave out". after all, why on the most important finale of all of the finales so far, would they leave out saying "the end"? if it's truly the end, they wouldn't leave it with a black screen and a sobbing community. (the last part, maybe, but not the first part.....)

both season one ended with 18 episodes, and season three ended with 19 episodes. season two seems to almost be ending on episode 17. this could go either way, with season two ending with a pattern of 17-18-19, OR, if we're really lucky, 18-19-20. (or we just get an extra 18 or smth idk)

there is a reason why this is only a stray theory of mine. only 6 days before the release of ii17, adam katz and brian koch were saying their thank you's and goodbye's to the inanimate insanity community. it feels like the end of this show is near, if not sadly over now.

overall, i still have hope. but this wont be clear until we either see a ii18 trailer or we dont. i will regularly update this with new information as it gets found by me and my partner. goodbye for now, inanimate insanity community, and good luck.

robot adam's twitter saga.

adam katz's teasing on twitter / x, saying that mephone x was after him, only for his account to be seemingly gone or empty? there's no way adam simply quit twitter because he ended his line of work. it's a thing that happens, but i dont think this is that. most of adam's characters in the show died before the plug was pulled. is that a direct reference? i don't know.

(credits to @\NickleBFDIA2012 on twitter/x !!) we, the viewers might be bringing the show back.

connecting to that, more hints have already been found. there was a code on cabby's wiki that is decoded to “You want the second key word? These pages are your answer. Next, go to the three time player with the lowest average placement." (credits to @\MeesterTweester on twitter/x !!) this brought the fandom to nickel (i believe), and im not quite sure what it says.

however, i do know one thing. it's been solved, and my theory was proven true.

we will be getting episode 18 of inanimate insanity by late november.

[fansfantastic]

ii18 theory

Ok so. We know from the arg that Bot is alive. What I think is going to happen is that Bot will show up looking like Bow once again since the paints/extensions that they used were most likely made by Mephone. This is of course going to cause an awkward conversation between Bow and Bot but we needed that anyways 🤷

[urnmbr1fan]

ii18 is gonna drop in 2 days, on the WEEKEND.

(Hoping I’m wrong because I NEED RECOVERY TIME🤣🤣🤣💔💔💔‼️‼️‼️)

Edit: dude I forgot /hj

I’m not sure.

THEORY

[sleepyezzy]

New theory that ii18 is just gonna end with a quick clip that’s just actual Steve Jobs and an ai robot + some ai art or some dolls

steve jobs and his ai girlfriend in the afterlife

[glimgilded]

ii18 theory :)

[sagethegremlin]

ok I don’t have any big ii18 theories but I’m holding out hope that the device the unvitationals used in season three to put mephone on do not disturb HAS to be important in some way and also there’s no way walkie talkie didn’t have anything to do with cobs this stuff HAS to be connected

[kittycoolcat7]

II18 spoilers

Weird theory

Thinking about how Ballpoint Pen didn't show up in the episode cuz I had a weird theory

So like. He's a hologram. Not even a real dude. There probably is a real BPP out there who probably is near identical to our BPP somewhere but our BPP is a hologram

So like. First off. He just vanishes. He doesn't walk away he just GOES. And while object shows are prone to cartoon logic, this is a serious moment.

Second off!!! The review that he left MePhone with wasn't even a review, it was just a reflection of what MePhone was already thinking and is shown to think for much of the series

And SPEAKING OF MePhone. He can make stuff. He's made a cookie I think and a small boat and has also tried to make a tree. So I think he made BPP. And BPP vanishing was just him glitching out of existence off screen like the tree did on screen perhaps?

MePhone used to watch a lot of TV so maybe the real BPP had his own show? He's aware of Springy so it makes sense that he'd be aware of BPP too by that logic. He also could have read about BPP in an article because he is shown to have some degree of internet access on him.

But why? Why would MePhone generate a whole darn guy just to get everything wrong? And why was he so anxious about it?

Maybe at some point he got it in his head that BPP was coming for his show and he unconsciously generated him? And maybe there were things he didn't know (like the whole bridge situation) because he KNOWS there are things he doesn't know and he feared he'd do things wrong. Maybe BPP is a manifestation of his fear, both related to II and outside it. I mean he DOES look a whole lot like Cobs

And maybe he didn't show up in III 18 because MePhone had found a way to keep the show going (hence the s4 files) possibly forever and therefore some of the fear attached to BPP was gone?

Theory over good night
