My crazy, out of left field, BARELY based in canon theory is that Holly has powers/is genetically Henry's daughter

Theories!

Ok so my theories are based on the trailer were it calls the TS world a "decaying world". The game talks about human society dying, But hear me out! what if its referring to the world actually dying.

What if whatever Kuras did to mess up our world, never ended, and is slowly making the planet die (omg kinda like our world!).

Also maybe the Senobium closed their doors to research a solution for the world and/or keep it a secret if the world ending is not common knowledge. Which still makes them jerks.

I can't remember who made a post about this but i do think a big disaster will happen in Eridia. (Its literally called "The Last Bastion Of Humanity" the city's doomed).

Last thought but I have a suspicion Kuras had some play in the "reality split" from the beginning of the demo.

we talk about scully's sceptisism surrounding evidence of the paranormal a lot, but my man john doggett was full-on shot dead, eaten by the monster-of-the-week, regurgitated, and then reconstitued from said regurgitated slime -- and even after all that an alien conspiracy was still too far of a stretch for him to wrap his head around.

WAIT!!! Imagine if Carmilla wants to TEST Velvette so she lets the overlord get drunk in public and surprisingly Velvette doesn't flirt with anyone?!?!

In fact...

Random sinner: Flirts with drunk Velvette.

Velvette alarmed: stop I'm married!!

Everyone: Huh?!?

Velvette: Well not yet but I will be when I gather the nerve to ask them!!!

Carmilla would be testing Velvette, to see how dedicated she really is to her daughter. But fortunately for Carmilla, Velvette finds most people other than her girlfriends and extended family absolutely disgusting. If a stranger, or someone she isn't comfortable with, tries to flirt with her when she's thrown back a few, she'll get these sudden moments of clarity where she's like, "YOU'RE NOT ONE OF MY WIVES! I DON'T KNOW YOU!" and hits them with her purse.

Personally, I ship Ben and Brooklynn.

[jackstheprinceofhearts]

Hi! I'm so exited to see how the dynamic between Chaos and Jacks will be in acftl. I need to know if Jacks is mad at him. Because although they've been friends for centuries, Chaos did kill Eva and then ran away.

Jacks didn't seem mad the second time they opened the Valory arch but I'm not sure if it was because he was concerned about Eva's safety or if he really isn't angry with Chaos. Whether he or not, I'm not sure he'll tell him what he did. But Lala totally knows. Everytime something happens to Eva, Jacks asks her for help.

Do you think he's angry?

OH MY GOD I LOVE THIS ASK BECAUSE I WAS CURIOUS ABOUT THE SAME THING!!!

he seemed to have this underlying tone of anger in the scenes after he went back in time, he was mostly worried about eva though. i definitely think we'll see a built up tension and resentment towards chaos, especially if what people think is true and chaos attacked jacks instead of eva while her memories were being erased.

i think the arch definitely made chaos show his true colors and jacks will most likely not forgive him easily (even though it was a different timeline) because we all know that jacks holds grudges like no other 😭🙏

i am so excited for acftl because (hopefully) all of our questions will be answered!!!

I know everyone is talking about “jon” n such. But I’m very very curious as to what was happening during the case, it sounded like a ritual with elements of various entities, I’m hoping that this ties further into fears being classified differently in tmagp

[peridyke]

so like this is absolutely a result of it not being something worth the time of the developers to change But in nier automata if you're connected to the internet you can find the bodies of other players that died while playing (you can either take their items or resurrect their body to fight with you) and the thing about that is no matter whether you're playing as 2B or 9S the body you leave behind has visible breast forms. so like if you so desire you can interpret that as 9S just binding all the time

ik last post said the chara spirit comment as a joke but have i ever gone into my theory/headcanon that chara isn't actually present in the photoshop flowey fight because they're connected to the player's save file and that's gone when flowey takes over

Crying thinking about fyodor at 5 am vibes

i don’t know what it is about him that initially made me love his character so much but if i were to put a finger on it it would be his sickly god-savior complex rooted in isolation and narcissistic self hatred

Why did he turn out that way?

Headcannon time:

Haven’t you heard? The Dostoyevsky family was cursed by a demon. Vanished without a trace. First it was the mother, the father, then the son.

- fyodor’s mother tried to kill him as a child—ability users were even less understood back then and she saw him as a devil spawn

- the first time fyodor uses his ability is when his mother kills him. He is reborn as her. (Still a child, though)

- since he inherits his previous incarnation’s memories and desires, he inherits the strongest emotion his mother felt when she tried to kill him: hatred for ability users.

- fyodor, traumatized from that experience forgets what his mother had done when he was a child, forgets his mother’s memories, believing she had left him with her ring and swaddled in her clothes before disappearing into the night.

- even though he has forgotten, he still has an unexplainable intense hatred towards ability users.

- his father was a kind and meek man; believing that she had simply disappeared and left the two of them he raised fyodor the best he can as a normal boy.

- though fyodor does dearly love his father, and his father loves him, his father notices that fyodor acts uncannily similar to his mother.

- contrary to his wife, fyodor’s father is not extremely religious, which is why he finds it strange that fyodor is.

- it comes to a head when fyodor is 17, and his father is deathly ill from tuberculosis. They do not have any money to spare, and fyodor does his best to work but there is not enough money.

- !fyodor remembers there is a nasty, old, pawnbroker whom he had to sell his mother’s silver ring to to afford his fathers medicine. (You know where this is going…)

- carrying a hatchet in his hands, he corners the pawnbroker when she arrives back to her flat, drunk.

- he tries his goddamned best to kill her, but he is malnourished, small, and weak. He trips, and the axe falls out of his hands.

- in an panicked attempt to defend herself, the pawnbroker picks up the axe and kills fyodor(for the second time.)

- he is reborn again—except memories from when his mother killed him in his youth begin flooding back. The pawnbroker’s, his mother’s, and his own memories melt and form a horrifying amalgamation in his mind.

- he takes what he can from the pawnbrokers house, and runs. He takes his mother’s ring back. He sells everything but the ring the next day.

- when he presents the medicine to his father—his father, enraged and feverish, sits up in bed and asks him where he got the money to buy it from. He must’ve stolen. But from where? Reading the newspaper earlier that day shows that the pawnbroker has gone missing, with all of her belongings and money.

- when he looks a fyodor and looks into his eyes glossy white eyes and dead-empty expression… he knows. Feverish, he wonders, if fyodor had been the reason his wife had vanished too.

- fyodor—having been killed and having “killed” two people watches his father’s rage in a dissociative manic calm.

in him, resentment for his nature builds. This is what ability users can do, huh? This is the pain they can cause. He knows his father will die if he spends another day without medicine. He knows that he father will not accept the medicine from him.

And so—he lets his father wrap his hands around his throat. This is fyodor’s mercy.

He leaves his home after that, his father and mother’s burning desires still fresh in his mind: kill all ability users.

Footnotes:

*this also fits asagiri’s style of writing: he often switches the personalities and/or circumstances of his characters in bsd. Akutagawa being dazai’s apprentice in bsd vs dazai vying for the akutagawa award in real life. Dazai mocking chuuya in bsd vs chuuya mocking dazai in real life.

*In this hc, fyodor’s mother is the one who is heavily religious, whereas in real life it is his father. In this hc, his father is ill instead of his mother who was in real life.

*And my favorite switch of all: the pawnbroker from crime and punishment killing raskolnikov (fyodor) instead of the other way around in the the actual Crime and Punishment.

*QUESTION. What intense desire did the fyodor get from the pawn broker? This one’s fun. The desire not to die—it makes the next time he kills an ability user using his ability that much more excruciating.

it just occured to me that even if the well is a portal in coraline it still wouldnt make it to the beldam as the world got destroyed.

i think she has to physically build portals to the real world because from the end scene with the web, the whole room collapses to reveal a web

its possible that the beldam built this place on top of the web, and since the place is gone with probably all the portals there's no way she can get out unless coraline unlocks the small door or she rebuilds and the beldam would probably die from starvation before that happens

that hand is just going into the void like wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
