#this is my theory I'm sticking to it

[sodaspoppers]

Jay Walker (S1-S7) and Jay Walker (S8-S16) are not the same person.

Jay Walker, between the seasons seven and eight, was replaced by a shapeshifting alien that has been tracking his movements since season THREE

Don't believe me? Let me explain.

In the comics, specifically the space one, there is a shapeshifting alien that terrorizes the gang in season 3.

Now at the end of a comic, there is a thread hanging on whether or not the alien came with them or not.

So maybe, just maybe,

The reason that Jay Walker's character is butchered in the later seasons is that it's not Jay, but this shapeshifter from outer space.

It would not only explain his sudden disinterest in inventing, but his watered down personality, and his backstory that he never gets to explain or touches on.

Now now Soda, I hear you saying, Why would this alien wait four to five seasons to pounce

And ill tell you why

It was waiting

Somewhere in between season seven and season eight, the alien was confident in its ability to perfectly copy Jay, as it waited long enough to memorize his mannerisms, his speech patterns, his basic backstory.

It didn't get everything right, but that was fine

And it worked flawlessly, everyone fell for it.

But Soda, you stinky little ferret, I hear you scream and yell, where is the real Jay

Usually when a person is replaced or kidnapped or anything in this, they're locked in a jail cell somewhere. For example, Zane in S4 and Cole in S8.

Which means that the Real Jay has been locked in a cell for NINE seasons and not one person has noticed

AND is this just an outlandish theory to compensate for how my poor boy Jay has been murdered character wise in current seasons? MAYBE? Who knows at this point. It's 1am, I'm tired, I'm going to bed.

So while rewatching Avatar: The Last Airbender recently, I noticed a trend

A number of spirits we see have an animal form, specifically animals we recognize as "normal" for us. For example:

- Wan Shi Tong is an owl and his knowledge seekers are foxes

- Tui and La are koi fish

- Hei Bai is a panda

-The guardian of the mother of faces is a wolf (The Search)

Heck there's even the talking Baboon spirit and the monkey missing its face that we see in the Spirit World at the end of Season 1.

Basically every time we've seen a "normal" animal, they've been a spirit.

My point? I argue that Bosco is a spirit bear that's chilling and living the good life in the mortal world just because he can.

Over the months, Primes methods of trying to get Ricks attention pretty much narrow down to two ways: Rambling on and on to him in hopes Rick will finally get overstimulated enough to snap at him, and watching him sleep.

So during the day, Rick has to listen to a barrage of unwanted nonsense from his lifelong enemy while doing his best to stay focused on appearing normal to the Smiths and finding a way to get rid of Prime for good. Then when night falls, all he can focus on as he tries to fall asleep is the heavy breathing of the man who killed his first family.

Rick refuses to give Prime the acknowledgement that he's starting to desperately crave, and Prime isn't going to start backing down now. Somethings gotta give.

Sometimes I remember Khary Randolph mentioning in the Turtle Tracks interview he was in with Emilio Lopez and Lloyd Goldfine that he's been trying to get more directly involved in the IDW TMNT comics for years, yet they more or less keep telling him "maybe/we'll get back to you on that."

Like it really is a wonder why IDW hasn't taken him on as one of their primary artists because what work he has done thus far has been PHENOMENAL (never mind that he worked as a production artist for the entirety of 2003's run, so he already has plenty of experience with the turtles.)

i don't think brian from mindhunter would've ended up being a serial killer, i think that storyline would've been kind of commentary on labelling theory and the potential dangers of profiling, if that makes sense. like he's a young child who's been through some severe trauma but because he acts differently (i think he has autism or some other developmental or attachment disorder) people treat him differently and basically start to profile him as a future serial killer. maybe bill starts to treat him differently or the police suspect him or he has trouble making friends and it just makes his issues even worse. durkheim, baby!

Okay, theory time, so grab your tinfoil hats, folks.

My theory as to why Ahsoka and Sabine had their falling out is because of the Mandalorian Purge. And here are my reasons:

"I go where I'm needed." "Not always." Those 2 simple words spoken by Sabine were dripping with unresolved hurt. She's still carrying around a personal grudge toward Ahsoka for abandoning her in what was likely her (and her people's) greatest time of need. My theory is that Sabine begged Ahsoka to help and Ahsoka refused, presumably because she knew there was nothing they could do.

She's no longer wearing her armor when we first see her. Initially, we all assumed it was because the war was over and she didn't need it anymore (and she was mourning Ezra). But I don't think that's it. Sabine is a Mandalorian through and through--she was damn proud of that armor, which had been handed down through her family for generations. For her to take it off and essentially shun her heritage, speaks volumes. I think the fact that she was able to help save Lothal but not Mandalore (and her family) damn near destroyed her. She took the armor off and shirked her identity as a Mandalorian as a way of mourning the genocide of her people. The scene where she lays it out, piece by piece, has an almost reverent, mournful tint to it. Like it's this great weight she's once again picking up and choosing to shoulder. I wouldn't put it past her to think that she's the only one left, and that it's now her responsibility to carry on the traditions. Ahsoka and Sabine weren't ready to truly become Master and Apprentice during the Rebellion. But now they carry around a shared hurt--both have seen their people slaughtered to almost extinction. And I think at some point, they're going to confront this shared reality and it'll be the thing that really binds them together.

Pasta omg did they canonically confirm Matt wasnt blipped?! If that fight was post-Ronin but pre-Hawkeye it has to be during the Blip right???

My brain is gonna explode already

IT SURE AS FUCK LOOKS LIKE IT.

And if we're RIGHT, and now that we know netflix DD is canon, this scene told us a lot This is mostly me hypothesizing here BUT:

Matt, Fisk not blipped.

Good sign towards one theory that Foggy + Karen were blipped to angst Matt up, which is why they weren't called for the original script before they tossed that out to rewrite it, because there were signs that it was going to have a lot of it DURING the blip. Rewrites not withstanding, Foggy and Karen might still have been blipped even if they come back. At the very least, I'm assuming they blipped.

Matt: new red suit again, which means he did NOT keep the black suit post S3. Which is good, we don't need another Nobu fight.

FISK was out and about post blip. And if DD is canon, we know Matt had his dirt on Vanessa to keep Fisk in prison by his choice. If Vanessa was blipped (@wonderlandmind4 pointed out no wedding ring on Fisk - divorce when they came back? Something happened when she blipped back? Wasn't blipped but killed during the chaos of the blip?), it would explain why Fisk was out since Matt would have nothing to hold over him.

Fisk confirming with Maya that none of his people have every stood up against Matt, so Matt's been at least partially successful at hampering Fisk. However, Fisk's power clearly indicates Matt's fighting a losing battle, much like before. I'm thinking this will lead to him getting help (return of JJ? Frank? Spidey appearance?).

In other words I have theories based on like 90 seconds but that's what I've got and I may or may not already be examining my Blip Side Fic outline and making adjustments.

I gave myself an Ouchie and so here is my theory as to how Kang was able to find the exact hotel room Sailom was being held in...

His Nose Knows... You Know?

I'm convinced he sniffed him out like a bloodhound.

yknow in ur alt es you mentioned the optional parts has to be the 2 arcees like how are ya gonna implement that? and also how would rodimus interact with the GHOST bots and the maltobots

Oh right that post!

Idk i thought two arcees that are slightly different but ultimately also the same character would be interesting because like. That's an alternate/future version of base Earthspark Arcee. It's also because Arcee was part of Rodimus's little squad in g1, but also she's already part of the earthspark autobots on earth. Though I wasn't sure so that's why I said the two arcees thing was optional

Now Rodimus that's more concrete, when he's interacting with the autobots plus Megatron he's more like g1 Rodimus in that "well he's definitely a leader but he's a bit young for it and new at it" vibe, and I think Megatron and Prowl are definitely suspicious of him and this entire situation (goddamn! A situation where they agree on something! How rare!) because there's definitely things this Rodimus isn't telling them (who makes the first connection between this Rodimus and the autobot Hot Rod?) (Or is that immediate?)

Now, I'm thinking he's got a more sort of older adult brother type dynamic with the kids, maybe?? Or at least eventually. At first he's pretty much a stranger, an ally sure but someone they don't know.

There are multiple ways this version of Rodimus can interact with decepticons (including Megatron...), and some of them depend on what makes his timeline different than the main earthspark timeline. I'm thinking though in general the interactions between the mecha from Rodimus's timeline and the main earthspark timeline decepticons are rough. (especially with the whole Galvatron thing...)

What little I know about G1 Rodimus is a big reference here, but so are elements from characters like tfa Optimus, rid15 Bumblebee, and Cyberverse Hot Rod. I need to watch g1 s3 still so there is improvement I can make on this idea.
