teal mask/indigo disc kieran theory/thoughts (SPOILERS)
earlier, i was thinking about the ending of the teal mask (with kieran's dramatic about-face from practically being in love with the mc to deciding they're his mortal enemy now), and how carmine mentions a few times how he seems to be acting out of character
she asks you if "most people act up like that" and seems troubled when you say it's abnormal, even calling it "a bit scary", seemingly at a loss and not having seen this type of behaviour before, even if he does have a "bit of an ego" as she mentioned
while ruminating on this, i remembered the part in the violet book where heath mentions finding pages of notes that he doesn't remember writing, having a dream of meeting something he doesn't remember
what this says to me is that there is a possibility of some sort of possession-stuff going on with terapagos, or has happened in the past, and something similar could be happening to kieran
i wonder if the reason the loyal three were resurrected is because kieran subconsciously wished it in some way, like some sort of thought to himself where he wished to be stronger or if he could defeat them himself to earn ogerpon's trust, or hurt the pokémon that hurt her. i just find it interesting it exploded and they came back after he came near it and punched it (touching it, in that way)
it seems at least, that the loyal three might have some connection to terapagos due to the descriptions under the three of them, specifically the wording of "wish", and evidently there's terastal energy and tera crystals present in kitakami so it's influence is present there
my friend also pointed out that on the signboards around kitakami depicting the folktale, there seems to be a boy with a pokéball commanding the loyal three, seemingly wearing the toxic chain the loyal three have (and they don't have them in this depiction), when in the story it's never implied they ever had a trainer or owner
this is probably reaching or tangential, but it's also interesting that he's the one with the violet/purple undercolour to his hair, the same colour as the chain (yes it's meant to parallel violet, but it could be multiple references)
it wouldn't be the first time a character was intoxicated by poisons that heavily influenced their personality *coughs* lusamine *coughs* as well as sword in pokémon special via eternatus's poison
in regards to him pulling his hair back at the end

I love Pokémon, it's one of my special interests, but sometimes I really hate the fanbase.
"Volo doesn't actually have any sympathetic or redeeming qualities (you just think he's pretty)."
"Geeta is secretly evil!"
"Carmine is so TOXIC!"
"Kieran is unforgiveable-"
Shut up. Shut Up. SHUT UP.
UP! THE! SHUT!
And continue to shut up until you've acquired some reading comprehension!

These two have completely taken over my life, I love both of them DEARLY. Gamefreak really made undiagnosed neurodivergent kids, who were villainized for symptoms they didn't understand in their youth instead of being offered the help they needed, feel seen with these two, huh.

Saw someone making fake Ogerpon masks for additional typings and naming them things like "pollenwing mask" and "spooksoul mask"
No shade to that creator, the masks designs they came up with were nice.
But there IS a naming convention to Ogerpon's masks!
Aside from the teal mask they are all "home" themed names.
Hearthflame = the hearth is where you cook meals at home.
Wellspring = the well at home where you get water.
Cornerstone = the first stone set when building the foundation of your home
The masks represent Ogerpon's home. And Ogerpon was unable to return to the town it called home once losing them.
