I just want to say thank you to the Good Omens fandom for making me feel welcome, and not like I'm pestering you or annoying you.

10-12 years ago I originally joined Tumblr and was a part of the BBC Sherlock and Doctor Who fandoms. I followed a load of blogs that were dedicated to the shows, but i never felt fully welcome except by a handful of people (two of whom I think of fondly, and one I'm still in contact with to this day).

However, there were some people who, no matter the reason, always seemed to be disgusted with people contacting them if they didn't have a large following, or interpreted things differently to them. On more than one occasion I felt like the hostility they showed me was too much (which, actually, wasn't even warranted) and I eventually slipped away. I didn't enjoy it anymore, and eventually deactivated my account.

And now I'm back, because I had to talk about theories, and what was going on. And I'm so glad so many of you have been welcoming and engaging and as excited as me about this show.

So thank you, especially to @somehow-a-human @gallup24 @lookingatacupoftea @ladybracknellssherry @lickthecowhappy @melbatron5000 @dunkthebiscuit

And thanks to @weirdly-specific-but-ok for allowing me into the discord and the maggot fandom too because you guys are nuts but you're all decent humans and let me pop in and out as I please

And to anyone who I interact with regularly and haven't mentioned, I appreciate you all too. You have no idea how great it is to have people like my #absolute crackpot theory posts

So I don't really have a concrete theory or anything, but...

Dany dreams she is fighting the "usurper's rebel host" (aka Robert Baratheon's army) but these icy enemies are obviously Others; see how they melt away the way Ser Puddles did when Sam killed him.

That night she dreamt that she was Rhaegar, riding to the Trident. But she was mounted on a dragon, not a horse. When she saw the Usurper’s rebel host across the river they were armored all in ice, but she bathed them in dragonfire and they melted away like dew and turned the Trident into a torrent. Some small part of her knew that she was dreaming, but another part exulted. This is how it was meant to be. The other was a nightmare, and I have only now awakened. She woke suddenly in the darkness of her cabin, still flush with triumph. Balerion seemed to wake with her, and she heard the faint creak of wood, water lapping against the hull, a footfall on the deck above her head. And something else.

Dany III, ASOS

In a later Jon chapter, in the very same book, an "enemy" bursts into the fray to scatter the wildlings. This enemy is a Baratheon king - Stannis. This Baratheon king claims to be the legendary Azor Ahai, but he's not (Dany is, "the dragons prove it").

Trumpets were blowing all around, loud and brazen. The wildlings have no trumpets, only warhorns. They knew that as well as he did; the sound sent free folk running in confusion, some toward the fighting, others away. A mammoth was stomping through a flock of sheep that three men were trying to herd off west. The drums were beating as the wildlings ran to form squares and lines, but they were too late, too disorganized, too slow. The enemy was emerging from the forest, from the east, the northeast, the north; three great columns of heavy horse, all dark glinting steel and bright wool surcoats. Not the men of Eastwatch, those had been no more than a line of scouts. An army. The king? Jon was as confused as the wildlings. Could Robb have returned? Had the boy on the Iron Throne finally bestirred himself?

Jon X, ASOS

I find it interesting that Jon initially thinks it's his brother, a military commander with a near spotless record, coming to rescue him. Then thinks that it should be the king on the iron throne; he's expecting a boy, but it's wasn't a boy who came.

I think that we're going to see a repeat of this in ADOS, with Dany as the real Azor Ahai and king coming to rescue Jon. Upon hearing that the Others have come and receiving Watch's call for aid, Dany will immediately choose to go North. Think of Stannis saying:

"Yes, I should have come sooner. If not for my Hand, I might not have come at all. Lord Seaworth is a man of humble birth, but he reminded me of my duty, when all I could think of was my rights. I had the cart before the horse, Davos said. I was trying to win the throne to save the kingdom, when I should have been trying to save the kingdom to win the throne.” Stannis pointed north. “There is where I’ll find the foe that I was born to fight.”

Jon XI, ASOS

Also notice how Dany's Trident dream alludes to a fated battle involving icy monsters.

This is all just conjecture right now but, Jon's chapter has Stannis breaking the wildling siege on Castle Black. In Jon's (obviously prophetic) ADWD dream, he's besieged by a wildling host who turn out to be Others/wights - this dream is literally a play by play of the battle at Castle Black; like to a tee, it's crazy. Jon is fighting alone in that dream, just as he was alone among the wildlings before Stannis came.

So my thinking is Jon gets besieged and he is fighting alone, in need of a helper.....

They are all gone. They have abandoned me. Burning shafts hissed upward, trailing tongues of fire. Scarecrow brothers tumbled down, black cloaks ablaze. “Snow,” an eagle cried, as foemen scuttled up the ice like spiders. Jon was armored in black ice, but his blade burned red in his fist. As the dead men reached the top of the Wall he sent them down to die again.

Jon XII, ADWD

...then enter Daenerys, who is above all a savior.

“But,” Prince Aegon said, “without Daenerys and her dragons, how could we hope to win?” “You do not need to win,” Tyrion told him. “All you need to do is raise your banners, rally your supporters, and hold, until Daenerys arrives to join her strength to yours.” “You said she might not have me.” “Perhaps I overstated. She may take pity on you when you come begging for her hand.” The dwarf shrugged. “Do you want to wager your throne upon a woman’s whim? Go to Westeros, though … ah, then you are a rebel, not a beggar. Bold, reckless, a true scion of House Targaryen, walking in the footsteps of Aegon the Conqueror. A dragon. “I told you, I know our little queen. Let her hear that her brother Rhaegar’s murdered son is still alive, that this brave boy has raised the dragon standard of her forebears in Westeros once more, that he is fighting a desperate war to avenge his father and reclaim the Iron Throne for House Targaryen, hard-pressed on every side … and she will fly to your side as fast as wind and water can carry her. You are the last of her line, and this Mother of Dragons, this Breaker of Chains, is above all a rescuer.

Tyrion VI, ADWD

Dany dreams her fight is for the iron throne, but she is obviously fighting the Others. Tyrion thinks Dany is coming to rescue Rhaegar's son in his bid for the Iron Throne, but she will rescue him as he fights to save the world (and not doom it with more war). Notice how Jon atop the Wall dons house Targaryen's colors. Notice how he too is symbolized with Azor Ahai imagery, waving a beacon to light Dany's way. It's Aegon the Conqueror reversed. Dany's not here not for the throne. She's here to fulfill a prophecy, which Aegon never did.

TL;DR

Dany will save Jon while he's besieged by the Others :)

(small rant below)

This initially started as a post talking about Dany the war commander and kinda morphed into something else....

But it's funny to me that when people talk about the war for the dawn, it's always Jon and/or Bran who are made to be the natural war commanders or battle planners. And that's not a bad thing...but neither one of them has experience planning for and staging pitched battles. Bran has zero military experience to begin with and didn't receive the same education that Robb did. People assume that he'll be the commander because his skinchanging can be used for reconnaissance and thus battle command, but the one who canonically uses their skinchanging to spy on enemy troops and use the intel is Jon.

Jon, on the other hand, has battle experience but he was defending against a siege and not leading a fight in an open field. And that's not to say that he would be a bad tactician. He did an incredible job in ASOS defending the wall and ADWD also shows us that he can come up with intelligent plans on the fly. Anyway, aren't we told that people get stuck in their castles starving and with nowhere to go? Jon has experience leading sieges so he's the most suited for that. But he's not the most suited for breaking sieges and leading open battles because he doesn't have experience doing so.

DANY is the one who actually has experience as a more well rounded military commander. It's literally in her name: Daenerys, the sacker of cities. She has a spotless record as a military/war leader in Essos. That's Robb Stark level of prodigious ability, yet she does not get nearly enough respect in fandom. Robb will often get touted as one of the top commanders, even making top three/five for a lot of people, but doesn't Dany have similar stats and way more disadvantages? Shouldn't she be up there too? So out of anyone, shouldn't she be the war commander?

I was just annoyed that she has this insane record overturning enemy lines and breaking sieges and no ever talks about how that invaluable skill can be used against the Others. It's always "someone else will command her to go here and do this and do that". When talking about what looks like a war of attrition, why is no one mentioning the human battering ram being the key to success?? Feelsbadman :(

#asoiaf #jon snow #daenerys targaryen #valyrianscrolls #didn't put it in the post but my theory is that this siege might be at harrenhal and not the wall #mostly because of jon and dany recreating rhaegar and lyanna's meeting in that cursed place - plus it's “the seat of kings” #but we have lyanna 2.0 and rhaegar 2.0 meeting and falling in love in a castle that doomed their predecessors #but this time their love saves the world instead of destroying it #plus think of how aegon never sat as king at harrenal so it would be awesome for dany to be there just for a while #it will be kingception in there - jon bran dany playing 'who wants to rule a cursed kingdom?? not me!' #I'm always just thinking thoughts all the time #they swirl around in my head like protons in a nuclear reactor until they combust into crackpot garbage

Random incoherent thoughts about Good Omens

What if Crowley fell because he uncovered a dastardly plot in Heaven and his memories were ripped away so he couldn't tell anyone?

He uncovered the truth about Gabriel, the fact that the other angels were going to take away Gabriel's memory and demote him to a lower position instead of allowing him to make his own choices.

We saw the look Metatron gave Crowley before he left to speak to Aziraphale. Crowley is dangerous, he knows too much, and the Metatron has to jump in and make sure that Crowley doesn't have time to tell Aziraphale what he witnessed while he was in Heaven.

The Metatron is the boss. He's the one in charge of what goes on in Heaven, but a security breach forced his hand and he had to take care of matters on Earth personally.

Crowley had just fucking waltzed into Heaven and accessed confidential information because Heaven never changes their passwords. Crowley now knows that Heaven will go so far as to wipe the memory of an angel to prevent them from leaving Heaven. They are essentially prisoners in their own home.

What if the Metatron plans to do the same to Aziraphale, to take away his memories of Crowley so he becomes easier to manipulate? He probably sees Crowley as the reason Aziraphale isn't as obedient as the other angels. He probably thinks that taking Aziraphale away from Crowley will make him weaker.

We finally got a full body look of the Phantom Rider and I got to say. He looks pretty badass! I hope he comes to Sonic Dash Battle.

Now the biggest mystery surrounding this character is their identity. Who is the person behind the helmet? Well we will have to wait and... it's Mimic. We see Mimic's picture at the bottom next to the Phantom Rider. Now that could be a red herring. Not the first time I seen something like that. But if they are a whole new character. What's the point of the mystery? They have to be Mimic for the reveal to mean something.

But my headcanon is he's Shadow the Hedgehog. Why would Shadow don a masked persona? Probably to not be in the spotlight. But also it be easy for him to move around while undercover. Shadow is almost as well known as Sonic and Shadow has partook in televised races in the past.

Now my crackpot theory is this. The Phantom Rider isn't Mimic. But instead they are....

THE MIMIC!!!

Think about it. The Mimic has the ability to compact or increase its form to fit any suit regardless if the suit was made for animatronic or a person. The Mimic could totally compact itself to be Mobian size and don a racing outfit to blend in. Study the competition and mimic their actions for later. The Mimic is deceptively cunning.

I am looking forward to this racing arc. Sonic Riders was a childhood game of mine. X3

What can Grian do with reality bending power? Because reality bending covers a lot of things and could go from loony toons stuff like skin and shirts bouncing off bullets or flattening when crushed instead of dying and bigger stuff like transforming people into snow, turning planets into gold, and turning on all the air on a planet into mayonnaise.

So you remember the nether-end glitch that happened back in s6 then again in s9? And while it’s not fully his fault-but he definitely had a part in it, of the whole moon big thing that happened s8? A lot of the big things are entirely accidental to be fair! there is also that whole dimension that may or may not exist anymore, but that one was fully on purpose. They don’t mean to cause the server to just break like that, just kinda happens,,,

Grian doesn’t try to use the whole “yea I can just break reality if I want” because it’s a lot of energy to fix and honestly he doesn't have much reason to in the first place. She will use it for small pranks though. The current bit he’s got going on is making himself weigh a stupid amount anytime Doc tries to pick them up when they’re all in a group of hermits, then do the opposite with Mumbo. It’s caused a little bit of chaos, and mayhaps a bit of a bet amongst the hermits of “how strong is Mumbo really” But yea, Grian really just tries to keep all the weird magics to himself as much as he can. As long as one knows they have the ability to fuck with reality, its fairly safe, ish,,,

Wait....

Mewmew looks "person-like" and organic on the outside while being a mechanical lifeform, all of which is hidden on the inside by a soft exterior

Evilicus is a (basically) organic lifeform but has a metallic shell over top of their entire body, keeping the squishy parts safe inside while looking more like an entity (walking armor) on the outside

So they're kinda like. Reverse of each other If you think about it a certain way

#My thoughts #Mewmew Agricola #Dark lord Evilicus #I was gonna make some crackpot claim that Evie is piloting a mecha basically while being organic #And Mewmew is... The opposite ig? Mecha using an organic exterior #Mews exterior isn't entirely organic though the fur is synthetic

I'm finally going panel hunting for the Sukuna Six Eyes theory. (No, it's not as insane as it sounds. Also, no, it doesn't really have anything to do with Gojo.) Sorry for the delay!

The actual reason why Silver can't perform spindash is that it would make him even more OP and broken.

Imagine: Silver is lucky enough to catch Metal Sonic with his PK, what helps a lot because he's surrounded by a lot of minor badnicks, so he analyzes the situation, guess that Metal is made of a more reinforced alloy than average badnicks and just starts to spin amid air, Metal spinning around him and crushing his lil' siblings like a hammer.

And it keeps going as he actually dashes towards an exit.
