….y’all do realize that GBA isn’t just going to tell you how Bastards vs Zombies is going to go right?

Like…?

Theory crafting is one thing (but also you don’t need Geeb to confirm/deny your theory for it to have legitimacy and be fun for you), but some of y’all are just straight up asking him to spoil so much of the intrigue of a series with only 3 parts so far.

Become comfortable in having questions. It is by design that we don’t have answers yet. We’ve barely even started this story.

#if he seems terse it’s probably because people are just streight up asking him for spoilers #like… god damn #it’s a story #stop asking for the end #you’re not meant to he able to figure everything out yet #not even Karmor understands what’s going on #why should we #craft your theories and have your fun but god damn let the man tell his story #bvz is one of my favorite stories but you dont see me trying to get all the answers out of Geeb #and im a PATRON i already have some of the answers from Geeb himself #but not all of them #and im not asking him for more than he’s willing to say #also why would he confirm or deny anything hes already said hes not gonna spoil it #goodboyaudios #good boy audios #gba bastards vs zombies #bastards vs zombies #gba bvz #shut up dismas #vent ig

My Theory on Kazui's Parent's.

Q: Is there a meaning behind your name?

A: It's cause I'm the eldest son. It seems like my father was also wishing I'd be "a strong man."

The wording of Kazui's answer here really makes me think. We know that Kazui is strong. He defended Fuuta against Kotoko and even talks about having "never gone up against a woman [like her]" in his VD, implying that he has gotten into fights before (most likely at work - either in the field or in training.)

It seems like, to me, Kazui has parents with very traditional views. Kazui's father wishing that he would turn out to be "a strong man" could imply that he places value on the old-style gender roles in family or society in general. Yes he most likely thinks that being strong physically is important, but also being strong mentally. A 'normal' man who doesn't cry, doesn't show emotain. A man who provides for his family and sticks to tradition, simple as. A son who does what's expected of him - that kind of strong.

~~~

I also think the way Kazui talks is linked to his family's old-school beliefs. Despite only being 39, Kazui always refers to himself as an "old man" and says things like "when your mature/older like me," etc. It's a bit odd, though it might be a cultural thing. Kazui does call himself immature though, so for a man who believes he has only grown up in terms of his age and not his mind, he puts an awful lot of weight on what it means to be an adult. Can you see where I'm going with this? Yup it's back to his strong man comment baby!!!

In that previous qoute Kazui says how his father was also wishing he'd be a strong man. I think the other person Kazui is referencing might very well be himself. I think if Kazui has been taught these old school gender-roles since he was a child, then he might hold alot of weight to them. He wouldn't know any different if that was all he heard about what it meant to be a man as a kid, and therefore wants to live up to that expectation his parents hold of him. He, however, quickly learns that he is not this way and internalises it as something being wrong with him, something that isn't normal that he must fix. Which brings me to my next point...

~~~

I think that Kazui's family are more important to understanding his crime then we may think based on what's been shown to us so far, and I'd even go so far as to say that their beliefs might've been a very big reason/the reason on why Kazui felt the need to lie and marry Hinako.

If we take a situation where Kazui has very traditional parents who want him to grow up quickly, get a nice job and settle down young, it might make sense on why he felt obligated to marry Hinako. In Half he talks about how he's confused on why he doesn't feel happiness in their relationship, as "isn't this what happiness is?" I believe these ideas came from Kazui's parent's. That perhaps they unknowingly (or full knowingly) drilled the idea into his head that a perfect looking couple such as he and Hinako is the ultimate true love, the true happiness, and that he should follow in those steps if he wants to be happy and successful as it in turn will also make them happy and proud of him.

#i left out how this could tie so fucking well to the gay theory because thats theory ON theory speculation aka. a seperate post #(that i will probably rant about once we learn more about kazui's family) #but just know that i see that comment about him being an embarrassment to his family. #i see how growing up around old-school expectations of marriage and gender roles may lead to internalised homophobia. #i see the connections. in these two theories. #any ee way sorry this is late its still technically posted 'tomorrow' though so!! ♡ (its 11pm) #i have a maths test tmr pray for me. also if u have any other thoughts on this topic pls lmk i am so curious about his god damn family #i wanna learn more so badly #GOODNIGHT!! #milgram #kazui mukuhara #milgram theory

i think that for as long as youtube originals and short films and all that still exist, we have to keep continuing on with this trend of matpat playing the most deranged unhinged insane roles. i think he's very good at it and should keep playing that role for forever actually and its the one truly enjoyable part of youtube originals

#just re-watched fnaf the musical. i feel like that specific video is what inspired mark to start always casting mat as the insane character #and i dont blame mark because damn that performance was peak quality #matpat #matthew patrick #game theory #fnaf the musical #ahwm #a heist with markiplier #iswm #iswm 2 #in space with markiplier #iswm mack #fuck youtube #but also he's funny and a great actor #but still like. fuck youtube. #markiplier

[monitorkernelaccess]

does anyone remember when team salvato had that “for fans by fans” fanart merch contest, but like it had a backstory that monika “wasn’t allowed to participate” cause “she always wins and it would be unfair :(” but like all images of her and mentions of her name were glitched out, and in the background of the promo art there was a piece of paper with her poem “Hole in Wall” mostly erased (and not even in her font asset, just in the neutral/MC handwriting font) so all signs pointed to monika’s file being deleted

but then literally none of that was ever directly acknowledged in the posts or the merch for the contest, or in ddlc+ lore, or on other posts from team salvato’s twitter or monika’s twitter account? so, though it probably wasn’t intended to be lore to begin with, we never got any context for it, even within the constraints of the “backstory” for this specific contest?

…no? just me? ok.

#ddlc #original post #silly post but this is one of the ddlc things that lives in my head rent free #that and the anniversary stream from the same year with the fanmade mod #i forgot what it was called #brain blanking #i miss back in 2020 when team Salvato was trying to generate excitement for ddlc+ so ddl #*ddlc got a bunch of internet content and like a big celebration for the anniversary #but also cause. that’s around the time I got into the game and entered the fandom. so I was spoiled as a new fan #and now I am left to my own devices to generate content…and also fan content of course #anyway. i don’t actually know what to make of that whole contest thing #and any possible lore implications #so I’m just making this post where I go ‘damn that was crazy’ #i still kinda like the idea that. the girls didn’t do anything to Monika. she just did that for attention #and they were like. ok. fake your death then whatever #we’re still not letting you win #or that’s what happens when Monika doesn’t get enough attention. like tinker bell #OR the more actual lore MatPat esque theory #that Monika’s file was ‘gone’ because she somehow escaped #and the other girls were covering for her with the contest and the explanation that ‘ohh well we didn’t want her to win so…yeah…’ #TWITCH WRITES that’s the other thing I was thinking of #and btw. i wrote the end of this post like that on purpose. :3

I love that every track on Spirit Phone has so many annotations and complex interpretations on Genius while some of the songs on Neil's older albums are either "This doesn't mean shit lol", "Neil himself has no idea what did me make the song about" or "Just a cool tune, no idea what this song means though"

#neil cicierega #Neil cic #lemon demon #spirit phone #ld #damn skippy #live from the haunted candle shop #hip to the javabean #clown circus #Like so many songs from LFTHCS are on Genius and contributors are saying they have no meaning #And Neil himself said he has no idea what new way out is about #It's just silly tunes so who cares /pos #And also Sundial is said to have no meaning but people have some theories so idk if it counts

anyway i’d just like to thank god and TDP for my s5 “viren disobeys aaravos but still can't save claudia / callum obeys aaravos and successfully saves rayla, at a price” exchange i’ve been chomping at the bit for since before S4 aired

#an Exchange u could say #predictions #tests of love #arc 2 #s5 #s5 speculation #it was just red #cube hostage exchange theory #also yes i will be writing a full short story breakdown bc Damn is there a Ton packed in there #soo many consistent themes and motifs my beloved

[oddberryshortcake]

This new concept of ‘darkness’ that Silver mentions, something that drags you into deep sleep and something he claims he’s been fighting off ‘many times before’ feels super important

Like that’s a manifestation of the curse he has trying to drag him into sleep forever, and every time he suddenly falls asleep it could be because he’s fighting off the curse and jusy doesn’t remember it unless he’s asleep

#twst #twst spoilers #twst chapter 7 #twst theory #twst Silver #I’m assuming we’ll learn more soon cause he’s definitely cursed #but he’s also past the age that Aurora was fated to be cursed and it could be the same for him #he’s been fighting it off and everyone just assumes he’s narcoleptic damn

how i look explaining my "awan scratch is tom zane playing a role" theory and get to the part where i bring up how in dev diary 03 it sounds like they kept in ilkka's voice for scratch's singular spoken line

#i'm not serious and i'm also deadly serious at the same time #is there a far more likely reason for them to have done that. yes. but do i care #anyway. zane = scratch theory can go either way and i'm not particularly convinced by him being scratch and just pretending to be zane #but awan scratch actually being zane acting all along ..... it makes no damn sense .... compels me though #alan wake #★

"Rodimus is a better Prime because it didn't hurt for him to bond with the Matrix while for Optimus it did" headcanon/theory my beloathed.

One day I'm literally gonna snap and make a whole post addressing why what's wrong bc I'm tired of the inaccuracy and tired of ppl not understanding the Point TM of IDW and its version of the Matrix/Primacy and even more tired of people putting down Optimus in favor of Rodimus by essentially arguing that being unworthy means you deserve to be punished/put in pain bc you just weren't good enough to hold the Symbol of Ultimate Authority

#it's wrong on so many levels both in terms of lore and as well as like what the general themes of idw1 are #it's just a validation contest using the matrix as some magical symbol to decide who's the most special #which is ironically something that was a plot point in exrid/OP. specifically how stupid of an idea that is ldskjflksd #ppl revealing that they havent read anything besides mtmte/ll as usual #like half the reason ppl think optimus is a bad prime and rodimus is a good prime is literally bc like #optimus was written by an author who was specifically trying to deconstruct him (sometimes to the point of absurdity) #and rodimus was written by an author who takes a more optimistic/idealistic approach. and is also better at writing #but also like am i seriously the only person who thinks that that argument is fucked up????? #like 'OP felt pain which means he's unworthy/not a real prime/not a true leader' #ok so you think that there's a hierarchy of moral goodness in which anyone who falls short of that Moral Ideal should suffer #as a sign of their unworthiness?? like does that not sound dystopian as hell to any of you?? why would you WANT the matrix to work like tha #even if the theory were true (which it isn't) why would you view the matrix as a good authoritative moral judge of character #if its idea of 'moral judgement' is to inflict pain on anyone who's supposedly not truly good/worthy #wasn't the entire point of the ending of LL (including rodimus being a good leader) that everyone is worth it? #like rodimus literally said 'you ARE damn well good enough' or something like that #so what? everyone else in the universe tries their best and that's enough but somehow when OP suffers it's like #a sign that he's not actually a good prime/leader?? we're really going with the punitive perspective purely for One Guy?? #swear to god ppl are projecting their authority issues onto Optimus the way they shit on him for things they would excuse #if any other character did it #Optimus is uniquely deserving of pain/being marked as unworthy bc idk he was a cop once and that offends my delicate sensibilities #what's even funnier is how much harm was inflicted by rodimus as a captain sheerly due to his stupidity or ego but everyone forgives him #i guess bc as long as the matrix likes him that means he's valid no matter what he actually does as a person #WHICH IS SOMETHING IDW ITSELF ARGUED AGAINST BC A LOT OF THE PRIMES THAT WERE CHOSEN BY THE MATRIX #WERE DICKS AND THE FACT THEY COULD WIELD THE MATRIX DIDN'T MAKE THEM GOOD PEOPLE #like oh my god stop using the matrix as an arbiter of moral authority in idw1 it literally goes against the themes of the story #including the themes that are embodied in rodimus himself #idw op love
