Final Scene Analysis and Key Sender Theory

A theory below? It might be obvious, but I'm being a dumbass and connecting dots that might not be there. That and I'm trying to wrap my head around the plot of season one while making predictions for season two too.

Words: 768

Okay, I'm not sure if anyone has pointed this out already, but this has been playing on my mind like a catchy song, and I genuinely need to vent it.

Something is telling me that Chase is being used by Buddy, indicated through the interaction shared by him and Violet at the end of season one.

Nox "can't do this" anymore because he's slowly falling for Chase. He's coming to love and care for him, like during the finale arc e.g. shielding him from water, comforting him during his breakdown, kissing him to be his hero.

He doesn't want to hurt the ones he loves, especially knowing how much Chase is trying to help others around him, specifically his own mum. See below:

Now, I think Nox is intelligent enough to put things together. So, I think these lines spoken towards him during Chase's breakdown could have made things click for him: Why Chase was sooooo determined in the beginning of the series to go into the book's for example, despite how irritating and upsetting Nox tried to be.

Given Nox is more familiar with Chase's personality now, it would only make sense for him to use the wish for someone else he cares about, hence Nox's hesitation to continue stealing the naratonin. As Nox cares more for Chase, he may come to want what Chase wants too, like a couple would.

But what's to says he's stealing it?

Well, we know Nox is a key now, and by all means, I don't think he can gather Naratonin by himself as it's established other keys can't. Though he was priorly human, I think he lost the ability to gather Naratonin when he became a key.

Considering we've been shown no other key holders, I don't believe any of them are left too, that there are any humans to help collect this naratonin. I really think it's just the keys.

Yet we've been shown that keys can use naratonin and that Buddy plans to use it to get a wish. But instead of wishing like a birthday wish where you whisper your secrets to the naratonine, I think you need to consume or absorb it, much like Silver did earlier in the series.

Here, it's shown that Silver fixes herself using the Naratonin Chase collected, so who's to say that Buddy isn't either. He just needs more because the thing he is trying to fix is his human self, to regain it.

Now i think that staying close to Chase is just a way to transfer his production of Naratonin to him and Violet, as they're also keys, or that Chase's production of Naratonin also goes over to them. It would explain why Chase gets so little every time and why Buddy wants to be close to him so often.

Keysender Theory

And so here's where my theory comes in. Let's focus on that second panel again!

"After all you've done for this"

I can't help but get a feeling that Nox was the one who sent the other keys out, or at least orchestrated getting them out with someone else acting as a proxy. It would explain why he's done so much work for this, to become human.

If my theory is correct and Libris holds no current key holders, the only way for Buddy to get Naratonin would be to get the keys into the hands of other humans, follow them into the books, and retrieve naratonin from being near them, so he can heal himself much like Silver did but to a larger scale. This is what we see happening with Chase after all.

Yhe keys have been scattered too, perhaps to not only heighten the chances of getting more people into the books but to also prevent them from gathering all the keys to make that wish (Like Silver admitted to Chase, you need all her family to make the wish)

Future predictions

With this in mind and my rambling over, I'd like to throw my hat in the ring for things I'd love to see from this analysis and theory, if they ever became true.

I'd love to see Buddy be confronted for this, perhaps out of guilt he would tell Chase he's been stealing narratonin and thus Chase obviously gets upset, as he's trying to collect if for his mum. I feel like this can be a way for them to share their wants for each other and even help each other with getting their way.

Anyway, that's all my rambles done. I hope they made at least a semblance of sense!!

Cinderella Boy Keysona: Pyrite, The Jester Key

now that the hiatus has started i figured i might as well share my cb key oc!

Based on the jungian archetype of the jester, pyrite allows their holder to take the place of a comedic relief character in a story.

Why did I choose pyrite, you may ask?

Because pyrite is fool's gold.

[theus-what-are-you-doing]

I'm watching this finale go down for non fast passers giggling and kicking my feet. Y'all are so funny 🥰🥰

[theus-what-are-you-doing]

For a recent challenge from the CB Discord. Thought I post it here because it includes my two favourite pookies.

It was rushed though so like 😭

My First Official Fic!

I've been gone for a while because I've been working on planning a fic with several chapters already planned. I'll be looking into update once every three days, hopefully!

[theus-what-are-you-doing]

I felt like my original introduction for my keysona Opal wasn’t good enough for her, so here’s their re-introduction!

Hopefully nothings too hard to read lol

Also a close up of the face because I like doing that for some reason

[theus-what-are-you-doing]

Wanted to draw my Keysona in their storybook form, and I so I thought of an entire story plot just so he and Bronze would have the interaction above. Am I going to share it? Not unless asked-

This is just a silly little thing I've been working on in-between the big keysona project I've got on the agenda, and the MAP I'm working on. I'm looking forward to sharing them when they come.

[theus-what-are-you-doing]

You gay tho?

Yes, for you 😳

[theus-what-are-you-doing]

This is going to sound like a very weird pet peeve, but I get so annoyed when people name their keysonas names with actual human names. Like Jesse or whatever. Because every key we’ve met so far has a theme!

Silver, Bronze, Goldie, Violet. COLORS!!!

That's true, and it's an understandablepet peeve! But then again, there's only so many colours one could go for before it starts to get complicated. You can also guarantee that when more keys come out in future seasons, it can complicate OCs.

For example, if I named Ozi (my Keysona) after a colour instead of the metal I chose, Osmium. Let's call him Colbolt instead, which was going to be his name before I decided against it, a metal and a colour, just like Silver, Goldie, and Bronze.

If Colbolt was made into an official character like the rest, then I would have a Original Character that shares a name with an official character. It would be annoying at best to try and differentiate between them!

So, although I understand it being annoying that keysonas don't follow the theme, it might just be best in the long run, in my opinion!

[theus-what-are-you-doing]

is it okay if i doodle your keysona???

Absolutely! And this goes for anyone wanting to draw my keysona! Just please adhere to the following~

1. Make sure to tag me if you post, I want to be able to see your gorgeous artworks and be able to repost to show appreciation!

2. You're free to draw them doing whatever (within reason), but they love physical affection and being silly, I love these pieces the most!!

3. Feel free to draw him in any sort of relations with other characters whether friendly, familial or romantic, whether canon or OC, just be respectful of my little Ozi, please. He is my baby after all!

Thank you, and I look forward to seeing your doodling masterpieces!!

[theus-what-are-you-doing]

Thank you so much for this, they're so cute!!! I'd die for my little bunger guy, just look a his little leap 😭💕💕💕💞💞💞

Genuinely love the way Snorpy and Chandlo look in your style too, they're just so!!!! UGHHHHHH ADORBALE, LOOK AT THEM???

Again, can't stress this enough, thank you and happy holidays!!

@theus-what-are-you-doing HAPPY HOLIDAYS THEUS! I was your secret santa this year! 🎄🕎💕

Chandlo and Snorpy were trying to decorate but a bunger got in 😭

[theus-what-are-you-doing]

So glad to finally have a face to the name of Ozi's Keyholder!

I adore the design and the idea of them, and even more that he shares common interests with Ozi (Cards/magic, Shakespeare)

Might I ask if I can draw them together? I'll obviously give you permission to draw Ozi when you wish in return! Just got a few ideas 👀👀

hopping on the trend of keysonas except it's a keyHOLDER!

introducing cameron (he/they), also known as cam, aspiring magician, shakespeare nerd, and holder of ozi, the fool!

thank you @theus-what-are-you-doing for creating ozi and allowing me to have cam be their holder!!!

Bugsnaxs Secret Santa!

This is my entry for the Bugsnax Secret Santa 2024 for @fungusry, and although it's been a while since I've actually drawn any Grumpus characters or anything from Bugsnaxs in general, I have to admit that it was fun to find my style with these girls again!

With that said, below will be the entry! Try not to open it until Christmas, or do, I genuinely can't stop you- But know that I've attached a little message to go along with it!

So Fungusry!

I just want to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy Hanukkah. I genuinely hope that all your festivities go well and that 2025 is a promising year for you!

I adored drawing Margarine with Beffica in this cute little scene, and I hope this gift captured Margarine's amazing design.

I can't wait to join next year, and thank you for the opportunity of joining this secret santa!

Best wishes, Theus <3

[theus-what-are-you-doing]

Saw some people making keysonas, so to help me brainstorm a keysona I made a list of key titles! Basically just common tropes that are often present in books and stories. Felt like sharing them here! I’ll add more in comments if I come up with anymore. feel free to use these for ur sonas, Or if you have ideas too feel free to share them in the comments!

[theus-what-are-you-doing]
