#theorising and shit

Sir Nobody

(Notes before beginning: *Spoilers for A Link to the Past and related manga, and Oracle of Seasons and Ages manga. *Reminder that manga reads right to left.)

I've said before that I don't subscribe to the fancanon that Legend is Zelda's brother, because the point of Legend - or, indeed, any Link - is that they come from humble origins.

But that's not entirely true.

In A Link to the Past, Link is the last in a bloodline of knights that Agahnim seeks to destroy.

But he didnt know that.

In Shotaro Ishinomori's A Link to the Past comic, after Link's parents (both knights) disappeared into the Dark World, his uncle deliberately kept him from royal politics, and Link believed his parents to have simply died. He gets called into the role of the Legendary Hero, completely baffled, wondering why the hell some ordinary kid can suddenly telepathically communicate with the princess.

It's much the same in the Akira Himekawa manga. Link has lived a docile life being an apple farmer, raised by his uncle, believing his parents died when he was a baby. His uncle suggests that when Link was younger he had dreams of being a swordsmith, and Link fobs him off thusly -

(Also, he cooks!)

Later, when shit starts to hit the fan, it's evident that Link was totally invested in his orchard, and the future he'd seen for himself was that of a provider.

He was thrust on his journey with just as much bewilderment as most of the other Links.

Here is also a good place to compare the wording of his uncle's final dialogue in the Japanese vs English releases of the game. English gives us, "Save the princess. Zelda is your...", which of course gave rise to the theory that Zelda "is your... sister." The original, though, is "Protect Princess Zelda. You are, the princess's..." which leads more naturally into something like, "... final/only hope", or even more bluntly, "knight". And, the use of save is quite vague, whereas protect has stronger connotations with the specific duty of a knight.

Ultimately, he decides it doesn't matter where or who he came from, the only self that matters is the one right now.

In the Oracle of Seasons manga, Link is born with the triforce on his hand; his family knows he's destined for great things.

And he does know, in this case, that he comes from a long line of knights. But he doesn't want to be one. He wants adventure, not glory. (Also fits the characterisation of Legend not wanting a leadership role.)

Like, when Impa notices his hand -

And actually, the only reason he ended up on an adventure is because his grandma convinced him to take the knights' trial in Castletown, where he was then transported to Holodrum.

Maybe this advice stuck with him.

So we all know Zelda lore is a cobbled together mess, right. Link's Awakening came after A Link to the Past, so it was said that Link was on the boat in the first place travelling away from Hyrule to "continue his training" after defeating Agahnim in ALttP.

Then the Oracle games came out, and they (according to Hyrule Historia, at least) are set between the previous Hero of Legend games. By all accounts, it seems his Seasons and Ages journeys weren't all that voluntary; he didn't travel to Holodrum and Labrynna so much as he was magically sent there. And he was on his boat trying to sail back to Hyrule from those places when the events of Link's Awakening happened. Or... sailing to yet another new land to continue his training, if you read the Zelda Encyclopedia.

Everything, all over the place.

(This is to say nothing of Sir Raven's influence on Link actually wanting to become a knight in the Oracle of Ages manga.)

My point is, no matter how you want to interpret the Hero of Legend, I still think he meant it when he described himself as a "nobody". At the very least, he wants everyone (and himself) to believe he is. I also think there's interesting potential in the fact that he's mistrustful, disdainful of knights after having them turned against him, and maybe because of this he doesn't want to telegraph that he comes from a long line of them.

absolutely insane that mike literally p a n i c k e d when will was like "well what about us?" because will wasn't even really making things gay he was honest to god just inquiring about the state of their estranged friendship and wondering why mike didn't make time to talk to him when they're supposed to be best friends but MIKE was the one having an aneurysm like "🏳️‍🌈⁉️ W H AT!!"

“WE'RE FRIENDS” “i know mike” “WE'RE!!! F R I E N D S!!” “right so why don't you call me — ” “I HAVE A GIRLFRIEND” “… that in no way answers my question"

#stranger things #byler #queer mike wheeler #mike acts gayer in this scene than will who is canonically gay is all i'm saying #and while we're at it... #what the fuck is the “it's not my fault you don't like girls” scene #the way mike is visibly devastated after will's like “yeah i did think we'd just hang out in your basement forever and it would be enough” #maybe because he realised he was forcing himself not to also feel like it was enough me thinks??? he was trying to be “normal”? #and then he immediately feels guilty and bikes in the goddamn rain to apologise like bitch what is this shit? the notebook? #meanwhile his girlfriend is fully mad at him and he's laying around eating chips and burping and laughing and complaining about women #and doing nothing to apologise to her LMAO???? #mike wheeler what are you doing king. the people want to know #anyway i'm once again deep in my queer mike theorising #don't let me down duffers i s2g #eve text

Me, knowing absolutely fuck all about Doctor Who, theorising anyway:

WHAT IF there is a twist and he goes EVIL

(I’d watch it)

I hate this shit fucking fandom full stop

#literally why would any of this happen #jesus christ man #full offense but if you have to theorise a main character being slaughtered so your ship can happen #you know for a fact it has a snowball's chance in hell of being written naturally in the narrative #fuck off #asoiaf #anti jonsa #what is this shit

hetch is a savior because he released ranboo from his endless suffering in sfm by killing him

sneeg is taken because he was captured and as a show character in tse1, and as a real person in tse2

so... is charlie really a villain besides his demon-host role?

to be honest i really doubt he had such amount of time in this social experiment just to die right before the "end". he was intentionally made as a character who would make ranboo get back for him and loose their chance to escape

and we actually never seen him die from wire monster, but as we saw before and after that it wasn't a problem for SFM to show dead people. we saw a huge cut on hetch, a dead employee and, of course, ranboo's brutal death, but they didn't showed charlie even bleed. and that's fucking sus. instead of that we heard him fuse with the wire monster and lead ranboo to the trap he couldn't actually know about because he supposedly never knew that even cabin was a set, but HE KNEW THERE IS A BUTTON BEHIND THIS SET WHAT WOULD "HELP" RANBOO

my theory is that showfall knew ranboo has a chance to escape, so they wrote a character that ranboo will care enough to go back for. a character who would be a wolf in sheep's clothing, whos sign says "lies" with blood, who s being near ranboo all the time to make sure sfm won't lost him in the mall. a character who will lead ranboo in the right, scripted direction, who will make them believe they are not alone

a friend who is actually a villain

#i put a 5x5 px whiteboard in the corner of the 1 sec frame as an easter-egg #generation loss finale #generation loss #charlie slimecicle #ranboo #gl!charlie #gl!ranboo #i refuse to believe that charlie had that amount of screentime just to be killed off-cam at the last 10 min #i don't believe ranboo would make this unintentionally #im theorising shit out of it #charlie has to be a villain

I’m lowkey pissed off about the Xianzhou teaser from the end of the 2.3 livestream because it means that the writers did not know what they wanted to do with Luocha and Jingliu.

I initially thought that Jingliu and Luocha’s plan was to get arrested and have a trial with all the Xianzhou hotshots as judges, and then enact some crazy plan involving said Xianzhou hotshots.

However, if a bunch of really important Xianzhou people were set to board the Luofu for a scheduled annual event it either means that 1) their ‘get arrested’ plan is completely redundant or 2) the ‘get arrested’ plan was always gonna be wrong so whatever Luocha and Jingliu’s plan is will be utterly insane and that might not be a good thing.

Hell, we’ll be lucky if those two get mentioned actually!!! All these people are coming to the Luofu for a sporting event!!!!!! 2.4 is gonna be the filler sports arc!!!!!!!!!! What on earth are Jingliu and Luocha meant to do???????? Hoyoverse PLEASE progress their story in 2.4 and prove me wrong I will cry happy tears.

#I am a little bit upset #but not a major amount I just miss luocha and jingliu #I think it’d be funny if they try to team rocket this shit #like the prize for winning the competition is the power of the Hunt or some other bullshit #so they dress up in wacky disguises and cheat their way through the competition #before getting their asses handed to them by a snarky ten year old (the trailblazer is ten if you think about it hard enough) #this would actually be hilarious now that I think about it i hope it happens #honkai star rail #hsr #luocha #jingliu #lark rambles #lark theorises

i’m making my friend listen to tma and write down any of their theories as they listen and i’m gonna be honest yall it’s horrifying how mostly spot on they are rn

#im genuinely understanding how elias felt when he watched jon piece shit together it’s so scary #they’re definitely an eye avatar #GET THEM THEORISING ON TMAGP NOW‼️ #the magnus archives #tma

[jevilowo]

Mattpat wishes he was me rn no one is doing it like I am

(This is following the "Elizabeth is Mysterious Stranger and Administrator" theory, and the "Bette Mann neè Darling and Barnabus Hale had an affair" theory btw. Too many theories.)

I had a realisation.

#fnaf #five nights at freddy's #shoutout to anyone who remembers Tony Crynight #this is not a jab at new FNAF fans by the way I love seeing new fans. it’s just me realising. holy shit. you weren’t there for the wars… #when Springtrap was theorised to be the first animatronics combined…

bro imagine if by the time everyone goes to rescue phil he's been caged up for so long that he doesn't want to leave-

#compared to his tiny cage the outside world is MASSIVE #like the isolation takes his reasonable degree of paranoia and cranks that shit up to 500 #anyway this is probably the most in-depth character theorising im capable of so *explodes* #qsmp #qsmp philza #this entered my brain as i was getting ready for bed #it caused my physical pain so of course i had to share it #and good thoughts come like once a month so i need to savour them yknow?

wait how did kolya die. im p sure it was a long time ago during one of olya's stalker missions or whatever but i dont know the details. what happened to u funni man

dissolved in the grinder. in the incident where olya lost her eye and sergei got all fucked up. it's depicted in the mill n you can see sergei's scars in that one scene in punch it, punk! and some official art. i think nikita got his neck scar there too. iirc sergei saved olya instead of kolya and nikita (kolya's brother?? i think??) was upset at him for it, which.. understandable but also that's a really fucking hard decision to make.

my thing is we never saw his exact death, and we don't know if olya, sergei, and nikita saw the moment he died either (plus trauma kinda changes memories so they may remember it differently); we only know the aftermath. meanwhile with nikita we saw him get shot and like.. heard / saw his final thoughts in message lost (very underrated song btw i sometimes just go listen to it on loop for a bit). it's extremely unlikely that kolya is alive and is probably just getting attention / spotlight bc yura is becoming more entangled with the stalker lifestyle and therefore closer to both past and present stalkers, but i think it's a funky theory and fun to speculate on. i also just rlly like kolya's design, he feels like he'd be fun to chill with (i know nothing about his personality). if he's actually well and truly dead i won't be too fussed abt it but i like theorising lmao

#rambling #thanks for the ask!! #pafl #parties are for losers #pafl kolya #pafl theories #i'm shaking again #dear god i really need to calm down holy shit #anyway yeah those are my thoughts. mildly incoherent at best but i hope they're fun to read #it is mentioned that nikita had no living family to inform of his death #so that kinda throws a wrench into this #but it's very possible that kolya is believed to be dead but is still alive and just. never appeared for some reason #idk. used it to ditch being a stalker and start anew or smthn. but i'm theorising this on the fly i have no time to think on this #so i will get back to you once that theory has time to cook #also is it olya or olga?? #linguistic differences can be hard sometimes </3

I have a FNAF theory, and I wish to share a compendium of all of it's evidence and logic with you.

That theory is TalesVRWorld!

https://docs.google.com/document/d/13uEGSQ0DJQHxxYO1vbchTEBDibKXYKb9w0jZMBKOQ90/edit?usp=sharing

It's not my boldest theory (that would be my theory that FNAF 4 was a series of digital conciseness transfer experiments), and it's not my most on-point prediction (that would be multiple locations), and it's certainly not my most "Paige Wins by Doing Nothing" theory (that would be FNAF AR is in 2020 and Movie Mike is a Schmidt and NOT an Afton). BUT it is the one that I've had to put the most evidence in to support it, and you know what? It's pretty solid!

My AU uses this theory, as I initially made the theory after hearing Dawko's tales summary of Under Construction, and I actually turned the concept of Tales taking place in a VR environment into a major plot point in my AU in order for it to not mess with my own plans for the megaplex. That rolled into me realising that everything in tales DOES in fact make more sense if it all took place within a VR Environment that was created by Fazbear Entertainment. Setting Tales in a Faz Ent run VR Environment keeps tales within the world of the games, and it in and of itself answers many lore questions, so it fits the criteria for the only things that have been confirmed regarding how tales links to the games.

Those aforementioned 'links' are that some marketing makes the claim that it's in the world of the newest FNAF games (could mean SB era, could mean the Freddy in Space trilogy because 57 > 9 and Freddy in space is FNAF 57), and that it answers questions about the lore (and what I want to know is how Faz Ent got back on its feet after FNAF 6, and TalesVRWorld - before you look into everything else it solves - solves this with "with a lot of trial and error in the background where nobody could cause them real financial harm for their mistakes"). And with those two boxes ticked, that puts TalesVRWorld in the running for being a theory that could be canon.

Important note: The compendium is very unfinished. It's a Work In Progress, but I'm working on it!

And the most important bit: I made this compendium so that anyone and everyone can use this theory! For their own theories! For their AUs! So they don't feel as if they're using somebody else's AU if they want to incorporate the idea of Tales taking place in a Faz Ent run VR environment into their own AU, because now they can! Because it's not purely an AU idea, but a full-blown theory!

Alright so I've been introduced to and have recently finished watching the Monument Mythos youtube series which is absolutely great and I recommend it to anyone who may be a fan of weird multiverse shit, body horror probably and horror that just barely also counts as shitposting, (however if I remember correctly the series makes use of flashing lights and shakey screens with no trigger warning so watch at your own risk) but I have a lore question (+ theory?) for those who have seen the season 3 finale so spoilers below cut

So at the end we see the Mr Manticore constellation and it's made of the 'good people' of the series ; the face bit has a star for every man that formed the Angel, there are three that represent Thomas, Nina and Freedom, and the last star is for Everett Arnoldson.

Is this because there's an extra star commemorating the Angel itself post death ray? Kinda how Freedom gets her own star, tho this could be because the statues all seem to have their own mind and therefore her sentience isn't a result of Thomas and Nina being put inside of her a la fnaf and other indie horrors.

(Sidenote writing this at night and having to see that constellation over the black screen with no other music or anything only showed me how scary that face bit is like my god I really hate looking at it like tbis for some reason)

However I got curious and counted the stars that represent the men. The Angel is formed of 17 unknown soldiers, but I counted 18 stars.

Anyway I just wanted to throw this out and include myself in the community a little bit. Still haven't watched the Ningen videos yet so maybe they'll have an answer. Can't wait for season 4!

Does the Angel really count as a seperate entity from the men like Freedom is from Thomas and Nina? Because it doesn't seem to be the case since when they talk to Cthnaut A, their voice is an amalgamation of voices.

Or maybe the 18th star represents Cthnaut A himself, leaving a small reminder of himself before he leaves this unisverse?

Or maybe it's just a small mistake that I'm looking into way too hard because I want to be involved in finding some bit of lore in one of the many lore based series' that I love and cherish.
