A fact: a god loses their divinity only when it is sealed, or when belief in them is lost.

Another fact: Hua Cheng ascended.

He was never banished - he simply abandoned heaven the moment he realized Xie Lian was not there. For many of the gods this is tantamount to a death sentence - to fade into obscurity. Hua Cheng’s survival without followers could be attributed to his ghostly origins, and his own self determination, which could be true but —

What if there was someone who sent a prayer up in remembrance of a small ghost fire who warmed a chill night. What if there was someone who lit incense for a nameless follower with a smiling mask who sacrificed everything to save everyone(someone). The offerings are meager, rare, but sincere - worth more than a million merits from gold.

Hua Cheng may be the Flower Crowned Prince’s most devoted follower. Faith, gratitude, and love, however, transform Xie Lian into Wu Ming’s steadfast believer.

#tgcf #天官赐福 #tgcf spoilers #Hua Cheng #hualian #I am never going to be normal about this book am I #also this theory does imply things for like. the creation of eming and the escape from the kiln and the final confrontation with jun wu #heavenly tribulations perhaps?#also belief in Hua Cheng as a god (and more importantly love) is absolutely my headcanon for why he survives the ending after only a year #this is what 800 years does to a bitch

thinking long and hard about Godwyn and Fortissax's friendship like

>the dragons begin a war with the golden order

>Godwyn and Fortissax become “good friends” which brings an era of peace between the golden order and the dragons

>Godwyn goes on to begin the golden lineage with a completely unmentioned partner

>dragons are known to take the form of humans and even have relations with them, as seen with Vyke and Fortissax's sister Lanssax

>One of Godwyn’s many descendants is Godrick, who refers to the dragon in his arena as “kindred one”

>While Godwyn was the first demigod to fall during the night of the black knives, it’s implied that many others followed at the hands of the assassins. Due to the rest of the known descendants of Marika being alive, and no one else having a child pre-shattering it can be inferred that Godwyn's bloodline was specifically targeted for some reason. Since those are the only other demigods that existed at the time.

>Godwyn is assassinated and because him and Fortissax are such “Good friends” Fortissax proceeds to enter godwyns mind and spends decades, possibly centuries attempting to fight off the deathblight from within him, eventually succumbing to it themselves but still unwilling to abandon their “good friend” regardless.

#Do you see my vision?#Fortissax would rather die trying to save Godwyn than abandon him to fester alone #the two becoming “companions” literally ended the war between their communities and allowed the dragons to coexist with the golden order #much like how Radagon and Rennala married to end the war between the erdtree and the carians.#and godwyn has many descendants that are conveniently wiped out pre shattering #one of the only surviving ones having a fascination and kinship with dragons #and his companion is also conveniently completely forgotten by history despite how important they would be historically?#yeah. “Good friends” my ass.#those two loved each other and you can't convince me otherwise #elden ring #elden ring lore #elden ring theory #godwyn the golden #godwyn the prince of death #lichdragon fortissax #fortissax #godrick the grafted

10 years later and my shower thoughts myth busted that Michael Afton wasn’t the security guard in fnaf 3 for two reasons

1. why would he be hallucinating the animatronics from 1987 when he never had the experience as the nightguard, that was Jeremy

2. Michael doesn’t have a goddamn clue where William is. at the end of sister location, he says “I’m going to come find you.” bro lost track of his dad. Will went to go run errands and never came back

#the only way michael found him was during pizza sim #another theory i got was william wanted to clean up a loose end; michael; so he sent him to go find his sister in the fnaf bunker #but michael survived thanks to baby(elizabeth)#few years go by (michael has been living in the shadows) he finally makes the choice to find william (probably got wind of fazbear frights)#shower pondering over i lost my train of thought #five nights at freddy's #fnaf #fnaf 3 #sister location #michael afton #william afton #unusual theory #ramble

Hypothesis: Rejecting Dark Magic Could Save Viren's Life? Season 5-6 Theory!

This theory/speculation/thought experiment won't leave me alone so I'm gonna officially shout it out into the world!

There's a chance that Viren could maybe have unfucked saved himself.

We're all wondering - did Viren survive season 5? Has he kicked the bucket for good this time? Or is he like that cockroach you just can't get rid of?

I have some unfortunate (or maybe fortunate) news! Viren could definitely be alive!

And it's about dark magic, power, and fever dreams!

Those dark magic dreams Viren had all season had to mean something more! A push for Claudia to go full baddie? Yeah, most likely. We've all seen the Season 6 teaser.

But what if those fever dreams meant something... more?

What if it leads up to more than just Viren's ultimate end?

tl;dr - What if by rejecting dark magic, Viren unknowingly saved his own life? AKA: I dive into Viren's mind, and try to decipher his character arc a teeny bit.

Let's goooooo-

I have little evidence to back up this 'what if'. But I have something, however small.

So, to start this off:

"Tomorrow, the sun will rise, and you will not."

At first this sounds pretty clear - and it might still be! Viren could be sleepin' with the Xadian fishes. But when has Aaravos ever been perfectly clear? Mr 'I Swallowed Her' speaks in riddles and rhymes, and does he even know what the fuck he's talking about? (of course he knows, he's Aaravos, what am I thinking-)

One alternative take on this cryptic little message could be that the old Viren can't come to the phone right now. Because he's dead.

Viren rejected dark magic for the first time ever! He finally sees what Harrow has been seeing all along - dark magic twists you, twists everything around you, into corruption. We can see this with the corrupted Banthers - and Viren's face.

The sun will rise, and the old Viren will be dead.

But perhaps in his place will come a new man - one with a new goal, a new purpose, new motivations. In writing-terms, this means Viren will basically be a whole new character.

Characters are defined by their goals and motivations.

Since the beginning, Viren's goal has been somewhat the same (a bright future for humanity by using dark magic and overthrowing Xadia). But things have changed for Viren, especially during Seasons 4-5. Viren is completely powerless for the first time since Arc One.

Lord Viren has always been a character defined by his power. Even without using dark magic, he can still influence others to bend to his will.

Example image: Lord Viren threatening the young Crowmaster to summon the Pentarchy.

Lord Viren also takes Gren off the mission to find the missing princes, effortlessly placing Soren and Claudia in charge seconds after Amaya left. Viren convinced Soren to go and kill the princes on this mission.

Whenever his power and authority is threatened, Viren keeps pushing forward. Like the dark mage he was, Lord Viren keeps pushing until he gets the desired outcome. Soren said it best:

So, the truth is, someone who wants you to do horrible things, and convinces you that they're good, that's a villain. My dad... is a villain. And he's only gonna get more powerful, and the more powerful he gets, the more people will listen to him, and believe him, and follow him.

Meeting Aaravos is a pivotal moment in Viren's further pursuit of more power. Aaravos promises Viren more power and influence than ever before. Aaravos guides Viren to send the smoke assassins after the other kingdoms to motivate them by fear. Aaravos brings out the worst in Viren by targeting this fatal weakness.

Ultimately, Aaravos guides Viren to further pursue his hunger for more power. Viren convinced Claudia that Soren misunderstood the assignment of 'kill the princes' (dick move, Viren).

Then they march into Xadia, and take down the Sunfire Kingdom. And Aaravos takes Viren to the top of the Storm Spire to capture every essence of magic from baby Zym.

Power, power, and more power. Take a sip of water every time I write 'power', honestly.

So Viren falls to his death, and Claudia brings him back 2 years later. The fourth season begins, and Viren is already different. He is powerless. He isn't even wearing his High Mage attire, instead he's in bloodied and dirty prisoner clothes.

He's travelling with an elf, and he doesn't have his staff. He realises he doesn't even want his staff anymore. He's suddenly horribly afraid of heights, and is obviously frustrated about how he's losing power over everything.

His own mind and body are warring against him. He's going to die in 30 days, and he's experiencing panic attacks. Viren is falling apart worse than his tattered clothes.

And after he finally uses dark magic? He ends up passing out, and missing out on his last few days alive. Instead he's thrust into visions for days on end. Interesting to note that Callum didn't suffer from his own visions as long as Viren did. (perhaps because Viren does indeed have a long history of dark magic?)

These visions take Viren into his past, makes him look at everything in a new way. He sees the harm he caused, sees every scar he left on the world. In his pursuit of power, he ripped everything he loved apart. Including his own children. Soren hates him, and Claudia is diving deeper and further than Viren had ever gone.

It is the vision of Claudia that seems to shake Viren the most. To see what corrupted path he has laid out for his children horrifies him. To see Claudia follow this path so eagerly puts the final nail in the coffin.

No dark magic, never again.

Viren is done with dark magic, and he's done with Aaravos. He's done with his pursuit of power. He's ready to be free.

Interesting to note is that his past self is the one reaching out and holding on here. Reconnecting with his roots, his oldest beliefs.

--

At the end of the season, Viren is the most powerless he has ever been.

Laying under the stars, he cannot even find comfort in their shine. They remind him of Aaravos, and of all the mistakes Lord Viren has made. He certainly doesn't feel free.

He's chosen not to kill The Being, he's chosen to align himself with his roots. His roots as a young man dreaming of things far bigger than himself. He turns his eyes away from the stars, no longer reaching for them. Instead he closes his eyes, and awaits death's embrace.

What happens next?

Well, maybe the rejection of his old life leads him to find a new path. Maybe rejecting the call of dark magic puts him out of Aaravos' reach, and he can finally become someone better.

But I guess we won't know for certain until Season 6. So pls share your own thoughts and observations! I'd love to see what you all come up with!

rattling the bars of my cage. in the hellblazer universe, all gods spring from the imagination of humans and gain form + power based on the strength of their belief, with the more power they gather influencing how much their belief system shapes the world, meaning all creation myths are true and trade stages of validity based on the level of their specific faith accrued in the world at any given time.

based on that system, it is entirely fucking possible that by the later stages of hellblazer, constantine has participated significantly enough in the renewal / creation / downfall of enough gods, creation figures, and empires — including icons who are significantly tied into judeo-christian origins, like the beast of eden, the first of the fallen, lucifer, and the archangel gabriel — and built enough of a system of faith off the back of that reputation, to qualify as a minor god himself in time. which would explain how jc: hellblazer ends with him still walking and talking despite discovering that he no longer has a pulse or heartbeat. rattling the bars of my fucking cage!!!

#( ooc. ) OUT OF CIGS.#DON'T LOOK AT ME DON'T PERCEIVE ME DO NOT SPEAK!!!!!! I HATE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!#sat up in a COLD fucking sweat about this theory actually #DISCLAIMER i don't bring much of the canon of jc: hellblazer to my blog bc that ending STRESSES me out #but WILL i think and theorize about it until my brain train leaves the station? you fucking bet i will!!!!!!#the idea of a man so abandoned by heaven that he scorns all traditional faith. who despises the fan clubs and groupies he attracts #being made to survive SOLELY on the back of the reputation that has both saved and caged him. i'm normal about that #i'm FUCKING normal about that

The above is a screenshot of one of tropes from Shadoo's section in the SPM TV Tropes page that caught my interest.

“Never mentioned to be killed...” Hm. If I go by my headcanon of how Dimentio fits into the story of the Pixl Uprising (i.e he's both the Magician's son and the surviving apprentice who defeated the Pixl Queen), then that would give another parallel of how Dimentio was once a hero who had a Pixl that could see the truth who stopped an antagonist who had the Dark Prognosticus who several thousand years later switched sides. And by another parallel, I mean it works perfectly alongside this.

The reason Shadoo exists (if they are the Pixl Queen) is because he couldn't go through with killing his sister; he cared for her too much and now here she is stuck at the bottom of the Flopside Pit of 100 Trials and wanting to exact revenge on the Ancients for sealing her away. Based on how Shadoo has a robotic text box and says that they were created by the Ancients, it can be presumed she forgot she was ever human. She forgot who she was.

Fast forward to the events of SPM and Dimentio's intended kill-shot for Count Bleck gets intercepted by Nastasia and knocks her unconscious in addition to injuring her. Either he had the power of that shot just enough to kill Bleck and no further and that's why Nastasia survived, because why waste precious energy? All he has to do is finish Count Bleck off who is already at death’s door thanks to the heroes.

Or Nastasia was just very fortunate to survive a full-powered blast. My money's on something like the former because Dimentio has well more than enough power to absolutely guarantee no one would survive an attack like that. (the average person who isn't a hero or built for combat— which Nastasia very much isn't— anyway.)

Then there's him saving O'Chunks and Mimi from what would have been certain death by teleporting them to Dimension D. We know they didn't end up in the same place as Peach and Bowser because neither they nor O'Chunks and Mimi make any mention of such. Pair that with the fact that the Void can't be seen from Dimension D and thus heavily implying that anyone inside it would survive the Void that would destroy everything else, and you're left with the only explanation of Dimentio having saved them. I do believe that Dimentio screwed up by not only "catching feelings" and he genuinely did care for the other minions deep down as much as he tries to deny that; and I have mentioned in a prior post about him putting all of the people who could have possibly done something about the Super Dimentio fusion in the same place.

If he hadn't cared as much as he did for them and just left them to their fates, he would have won. I feel that the reason why the floor came out under Bowser and O'Chunks is because of Dimentio— because why make a trap like that that is intended to kill any who don't make it out in time and then have it to where after a certain amount of time, it would give any of the heroes still inside who may somehow still be alive an escape and make a comeback? It makes no sense. And it's because of that, that Peach was able to survive by landing on top of Bowser.

Had he only teleported Bowser out and left O'Chunks, and teleported Peach while leaving Mimi, the minions wouldn't have been able to band together with Count Bleck and Tippi to recharge the Pure Hearts and destroy his invincibility. It was his inability to go through with killing them or just letting them die because he actually cared about them— cared too much— that caused his own undoing.

History literally repeats itself if one subscribes to believing Dimentio is both the Magician's son and the last surviving apprentice.

First Shadoo who may or may not be the Pixl Queen, was spared by her brother who couldn't bear to go through with killing her therefore causing future consequences for if she ever gets free. Then the minions— including Nastasia and Count Bleck who for the latter, Dimentio in his ever present wisdom decided to spare killing for later— with their love for each other that was allowed to continue existing all because he spared them for the time being, recharged the Pure Hearts and caused immediate consequences for himself and was the catalyst for his defeat.

In the first instance, he was on the “heroic” side. For the last he was on the “villainous” side.

#super paper mario #spm #spm theory #dimentio #shadoo #pixl queen #this is ofc just a theory since dimentio is an enigma but i see parallels and go 👀#and also ofc things like nastasia surviving dimentio's kill-shot is just my interpretation of how she did so #and then there's the (fairly popular?) fanon that dimentio teleported mimi and o'chunks to dimension d rather than them flip in on their ow #but we know that they couldn't have done so on their own— at least not o'chunks who is consistently shown to be incapable of flipping #and flipping seems to /only/ work on the person themself and can't be used on selected targets (if that makes sense). dimentio is special #bc he's the only character who is shown to always /teleport/‚ not flip. and we are explicitly shown a scene of him clearly using his #teleportation on peach (he uses his teleportation on mr. l and the other heroes when he explodes them but it's disguised by said #explosions due to how distinct it is and considering how for many years a vast majority of the spm fandom believes he /actually/ killed the #when jaydes herself literally says otherwise‚ those examples of him teleporting people other than himself doesn't count) anyway. point is:#even if mimi could flip in on her own‚ o'chunks wouldn't have been able to get in. probably. bc tippi /does/ show the ability to flip #both herself and the heroes to flipside on several occasions‚ but this ability isn't displayed by /anyone else/ throughout the game so #it's not farfetched to believe that /only/ tippi can flip other people in addition to herself #so i still firmly believe dimentio was responsible for mimi and o'chunks getting into dimension d at the end (plus it's /his/ dimension‚ i #think he has full control over whether someone can or can't enter it)#i did not mean to put an entire essay in the tags oh no

If what’s happening is indeed a time loop… I just realised that OB has his memories intact solely due to the fact that Timely/future HWR would NEED an engineer who is able to fix the Loom. That same engineer would later write a guidebook for the next TVA.

And the blast doors are aura-locked so that the TVA will HAVE to pull an HWR variant to open them to alter/do maintenance on the Loom. Miss Minutes apparently was neglected from the planning but I don’t think she would play along and open the doors anyway. No one or nothing really threatens her, for now

Another theory, but sad. People like Mobius got their memories erased, and so forgot about OB. But HWR forgot on his own, forgot that he has this genius engineer in the basement, just like he (probably) neglected Miss Minutes

#last thoughts before ep 4 #come on Loki don’t disappoint #i survived through OFMD finale please have mercy #la vida es dolor #tbh I don’t feel enthusiastic and don’t anticipate anything just for my own sake #LWR's theories #loki series #loki season 2 #loki ouroboros #he who remains #in any case poor OB I don’t want anything happening to him #also please can we not have Mobius dead by the end of s2? please?#THAT’S ENOUGH THAT’S ENOUGH SLICES!!!!

I know Hunter is most likely to end up living with Camila I KNOW it ended up getting the most screentime/implied time with the time skip and it's extremely healthy for him and I love Camila and I want what's best for Hunter and I know she loves him and with the show being cut there's not enough time to flesh out other dynamics, but godDAMMit this isn't the horse I backed I wanted Dadrius 😭

Anyway if we don't see the fucked up loser adults from the Boiling Isles come Jan 21st I will scream

#like. TTT made it clear camila is not only amazing (i always loved her bc she was always a good mom that tried her best gdi!) but that #she genuinely thinks of the kids like they are all hers while under her roof. shes like. even more Mom than eda who gives off such mom #energy by this point too. & like tbh darius has such single gay uncle energy & being a mentor to hunter would be full circle to his old #dynamic w the prev gg being his mentor. BUT. DADRIUS. IT WAS SO CLEVER. HE ACCIDENTALLY STARTED TO CARE #really i just wish we got the full 3 seasons bc i wanted darius backstory :( & also. idk maybe flapjack wouldve survived ;__;#but yeah like. theres a lot of camila evidence. she really did come in last minute with the steel chair while the other dumbasses (eda #darius raine too a bit) were taking too long to sort all their endless baggage haha #really its just bittersweet when popular fandom theories end up wildly far from canon in the end. toh has gone through a LOT of them too #tc posts #ignore me im mourning my fictional found family #i need to see eda darius raine eber lilith steve perry gilbert harvey again asap (id say the last 4 arent v fucked up but like. its fine)

So you mentioned how you leave Hawke in the fade, do you ever bring Varric with on that quest? (Maybe I'm just a sucker for angst ((which I totally am cuz for my canon warden I have her date a soft Alistair who is pissed and dumbs her when she makes him king and then she makes the ultimate sacrifice and Alistair is devastated he never got to talk it out with her)) so I always take Varric and Cassandra with cuz I think it's nuts that the game doesn't have him react in the fade to leaving Hawke. So I picture a dramatic speech like fuck this Hawke let someone else be the hero for once, you deserve to live. And Cassandra is there seeing someone she put on a pedestal and saw as an unstoppable hero met their end.)

I've brought a few different combos into the fade but my favorite combo is definitely Varric/Cassandra/Solas; Varric because of Hawke, Cassandra because of Divine Justinia, and Solas for the fade itself.

I love and hate the fade quest for a number of reasons, but the part of me that revels in angst just adores it, it's such a heartbreaking part of Inquisition's story. I keep Alistair a Grey Warden, so it becomes a final choice of either making him stay behind, or my Hawke, Ed... it's a brutal choice that ends with Ed staying behind.

The meta reason for making this choice is I love Alistair too much. I want him and my warden to remain together until the end so I'd leave nearly anyone in the fade just to save him. And I don't want to make him king just to avoid the hard choice; he never wanted it, and Rose wasn't ever going to force it onto him.

But from a story-telling standpoint, Ed staying behind hurts so much because that's literally his fear; if he had his own fear engraved tombstone in the fade, it'd say something like "Abandonment" or "Being Left Behind." It's one of the reasons he stays by Anders' side after the events of DA2 despite ending their romantic relationship, he can't abandon the man he's loved for years even when everyone tells him he should....until, of course, we get to the fade and he feels he no longer has a choice.

Ed never wanted to be some hero or champion, but it's so engrained in his identity now that he constantly feels the burden of sacrificing pieces of himself for others. He feels the guilt of every loss he's suffered, whether it was actually his fault or not. In his mind, no matter how much it hurts, or who it hurts, it's the "right" choice to leave him behind... he's read enough of Varric's tragedies to know how this goes.

I also headcanon that when Carver's made a warden, he goes back to Fereldan to serve under the Hero of Fereldan and becomes best friends with Alistair. So I imagine that's another reason Ed insists he be the one to cover them. He went to great lengths to keep his brother out of this mess [even though Carver protested every step of the way] and doesn't want Carver to lose his best friend, even though he would also be devastated to lose his brother, but y'know.... Ed's just like, "Tell Carver I'm sorry, and that I always thought the world of him."

Even as Alistair, who never got to know his brother and dreamed about meeting his sister only for her to reject him, argued back... it's no use. Ed made up his mind to face his greatest fear to save them, and Ash begrudgingly agrees with him.

As for Varric, it hurts to watch him ask happened to Hawke... and then to listen to him recount a story about the kind of person Hawke was... and to give him a comforting hug... it all hurts.

But... that being said, I have thought about possibly doing a run where I do leave Alistair behind in a worldstate where Rose made the ultimate sacrifice. Alistair lost her and became disillusioned with the Grey Wardens, only remaining because what else is there for him? When it comes to someone staying in the fade, he insists it be him. He faces the nightmare as Hawke and the Inquisitor escape, and mutters under his breath, "Wait for me a little longer, my love," before attacking.

...because why not break my own heart some more, y'know?

Whether I'll be brave enough to attempt that is yet to be seen.

#asks #dragon age #dao #da2 #dai #varric tethras #alistair theirin #carver hawke #da2 hawke #edgar hawke #oh also i have a theory that hawke doesn't die in the fade #or maybe it's just another plot bunny that lives rent free in my brain but whatever #i think ed would survive the fight and eventually find his way out of the fade #and y'know how we find sandal's journal in trespasser but no actual sandal? plot bunny includes sandal showing up at anders' hideout one da #and being like 'come with me please' while refusing to explain further. anders already got the news of ed and isn't exactly in a great plac #but eventually follows along where they find and collect carver for this little adventure that ends in finding a rift that ed falls out of #how did sandal know? i dunno he just did and then he disappears to go do more weird stuff in the fade or something #that's as far as the plot bunny goes but it's there... maybe i just want an anders and carver bickering road trip story or something sksksk #or i just want to feel better about leaving ed behind.... it's probably that one

I've got some fics in the works over on my main that will somewhat incorporate tales and explain how talesgames is NOT canon in the Reneagde AU and that talesVRworld (the theory that tales takes place inside a VR environment made by Faz Ent to test their projects and possible layouts of the megaplex) IS canon in this AU, so I figured that I'd make my stance on talesgames VERY clear.

I don't think that tales are canon to the games. At MOST, tales takes place in a VR testing environment.

The games are canon to tales, but tales is not canon to the games. Like how outside of crossovers that are not canon to either source game, Chelinka from Ring of Fates and Shirma from Chocobo Tales can never meet because they are not in the same world. Final Fantasy allegory because it's the other biggest game series that I can think of that has "the world of [series name]" mean a bunch of completely independent worlds that are not always the same world. Also if you want to go a different route,

spoilers for Bravely Default incoming.

There's hundreds of thousands of different Luxendarcs, each a bit different from one another. What happened in the first world you were in didn't happen in the other worlds you went to. Things were different. In one of the worlds, Til was the Norende survivor, not Tiz. If a side game that follows that world only were to be released, saying "the world of Bravely Default" and "the world of Luxendarc" would both be correct, but ultimately, NOTHING THAT HAPPENS THERE WOULD REALLY IMPACT THE WORLD BD1'S HEROS OF LIGHT ARE FROM (aside from one of the connected worlds you don't see during the Ouroboros fight probably having Til and Olivia cheering on Tiz, Agnès, Edea, and Ringabell BUT THAT'S CONNECTED WORLD TERITORY).

FNAF DOESN'T HAVE SOME FAIRY CONNECTING WORLDS.

Each world is separate from one another, but shares the basics (what the games generally lay out, but not always all of it)

That is why I think that Tales CAN take place in the world set out by the games, but the games themselves DON'T take what tales lays out as canon. Because tales is the world 3 to the games world 1.

I don't hate people who theorise that talesgames is canon, and I actually love a fair few AUs that use talesgames.

I am just sick of not being able to talk about theories without someone else coming along and derailing what was a pleasant conversation I was having with someone else.

Edit: sorry for the frequent post edits, I feel like I need to articulate this exactly right or else people will misinterpret what I say. Hence why I removed the meme (someone may just read the meme and get pissy without reading the rest of the text)and highlighted certain portions of the text with formatting.

#paige speaks!#flashing lights #blinkie usage #fnaf #five nights at freddys #fnaf theory #anti talesgames #bravely default spoilers #vent #I genuinely love and respect AUs that incorporate talesgames #but I can't seem to talk about modern FNAF theories or the timeline without someone barging in and trying to force me to accept talesgames #Can we go back to the times where people weren't that bratty over a simple theory?#Because the timeline is still just as much of an amorphous blob of unanswered questions and lose ends now as it was back then.#Just with more lose ends and unanswered questions.#honestly my bravely default comparison is probably better than my final fantasy comparison #You know how “dead dove do not eat” was coined from a sitcom skit where someone looks in a bag labelled with that and sees that?#I think we should coin “Til is still dead though”#for instances when a game has multiple worlds that have the same foundation but have fundamental differences between worlds #And this saying means “sure X happens in world C; but Y still happened in world A even though it didn't happen in world C”#just like how Til survives in one of the worlds; but he's still dead in world 1.

Random question bc I can’t stop thinking about Drive 2011 but are you on Team Driver Survived or Team He Probably Bled Out Eventually?

My friends are giving me very mixed answers

OOH this is a good question :0 despite being a very hopeless romantic optimistic person in most scenarios, i tend to think the worst when it comes to movie/tv show endings actually !!! like even within the last few months i've cried over endings and then found out im in the minority who thought the ABSOLUTE worst of what it meant and that most ppl did not interpret it the same way AT ALL lmasfdoDSLJFODSJASO

like i'll be like that movie was so sad i cant believe x died and every review written is like no they didnt. and im like oh. ok.

so my first watching of the end, i def thought driver died! i even expected him to visibly bleed out and die on screen and was surprised it wasn't shown (which i def think was on purpose.) but i think people who believed he didn't die have good reason to! he's got a lot of mc/plot armor and his past/characterization makes it more believable for him to survive such a situation.

i'd love to know what you think and what the majority between your friends is!

#trust and believe it pains me to be team died bc that man is my POOKIE BEAR #i def think him surviving is more plausible than most 'they actually survived' theories tho !!!!#like if anyone COULD survive post cliffhanger ending it's driver #answered #anonymous #drive
