everyone being very aware of the fact that people always die at parties on the server and then going anyway because they don’t have anything better to do is so funny
OKAY! Okay! I know Im late, but i just had an idea. So you know how BadBoyHalo’s cannon lives are up for debate because of the way the Eggpire season one finale portrayed him losing them?
Well, you remember the part where Skeppy takes out a sword and we assume he stabbed Bad, because we are lead to believe Bad had died and that is how.
The matter up for debate is whether Bad truly has infinite cannon lives as long as Skeppy is alive, or his lives are somehow connected to Skeppy’s and he still has three cannon ones. But this is my possible theory:
When we get the hint that Skeppy stabbed Bad, and are told that Bad “lost a life” we believe that Skeppy killed Bad BUT what if Skeppy stabbed/killed himself, causing Bad to lose a life by killing Bad in the only way Skeppy knew how to??
this is such a typical badlands conversation btw. everyone’s blaming each other about the party starting late. tubbo dug a hole into the floor and escaped. theyre fighting about the venue now. no one can find puffy because she’s fucking trapped with the egg. we’re back baby
You know what's the worst thing in all of this, in my opinion?
That Bad got caught up in it too.
Like, Skeppy killed everyone so he could protect Bad, so he could keep him safe.
That's why he killed Bad back on Big Daddy Island, to try and sever his connection to the Egg. When he realized that didn't work, he offered himself to the Egg so it would let Bad go.
And when he realized the Egg would kill everyone around it for its hatching, he made Bad promise him he wouldn't go near the Egg again so he'd be safe from it.
But Bad broke his promise, his compassion and empathy too strong to be able to let go of Puffy. He goes to the Egg anyway and dies along with everyone else - because of course the Egg wouldn't keep its promise to let go of Bad when the opportunity presented itself so perfectly.
(Side note, we don't know if Bad actually lost a life. Its been hinted pretty heavely that he didn't die, actually.)
Everything Skeppy did, - the scheming, the back stabbing, the blood of everyone on his hands - was for nothing. Bad was (allegedly) caught by the Egg and now Skeppy has just doomed the server with whatever Eldrich Horror resided within.
The Egg hatched, Bad is gone, and it's all Skeppy’s fault.
Why do you think cpuffy was able to get got by the egg? If I remember what happened right. It's been a bit
Well, we know from canon that even being in close proximity to the egg without protective iron hazmat suits can cause a person to hear voices, become aggressive towards others, delirium, and immediately become protective and affectionate towards the egg. Puffy herself is not immune as she was, back before the Eggpire was established, infected. She only turned against it after a combination of strong negative emotions towards Bad, and not being physically with the egg as much.
I don't think there was any concrete answer as to the mechanism of infection, but it's heavily implied that some amount of time away from the egg causes its influence to naturally fade, and within a matter of days if we estimate the time between the red banquet being interrupted, and all former members of the Eggpire who were not otherwise killed (c!Ant, and c!Bad by Skeppy as revealed by the finale) as losing a life is another way to break infection, as seen when Skeppy respawns after the fight with Bad, no longer red.
You can also clearly be immune to the egg's negative effects like Tommy, or you can resist the egg, as shown by the fact that Sam remained uninfected during his imprisonment in it's chambers. I'm not sure if those two are actually special cases, but as Sam is the character who spent the longest trapped with the egg who never turned red, I'm going to say it's just a matter of luck.
Hannah was kidnapped twice, and while the first time left her disoriented and suggestible to being rekidnapped, the second made her secretly join the Eggpire itself. So I think the amount of time it takes to become fully infected is dependent on things such as prior emotional state, history with the egg, health, etc)
And that is to say I think the answer is pretty obvious. Skeppy pushed Puffy into the egg as a part of his deal with it (Although I'm pretty sure he wasn't egged when he did that to Puffy?)
And she was not immune to the egg, and was very quickly either immediately killed and puppetted, or... just was stuck there while slowly being taken over, and eventually being used as the voice of the egg itself, literally.
