Deltarune theory that I need people to think about for a moment.

Monsters don't bleed.

You can probably figure out where this is going yourself, but if you want to hear my thoughts and evidence, it's all going under the cut.

Monsters don't bleed. We're reminded of this at the start of and throughout Chapter 4, through interaction with the bunny kid when you knock their door, and the funeral book about monsters turning into dust.

Conversely Susie has expressed a lack of understanding about this concept, implying she's bled before and doesn't find it weird. Implying she's used to a culture where blood is normal...

...but not dust? She didn't seem to put the pieces together that the dust in the 'snowglobe' (horrific implications btw) could be Gerson's body until Kris pointed it out to her. After which point she reacted with horror, as if she hadn't expected it, or didn't know that's how it worked?

Let's think about Susie for a moment. What do we know about Susie, now?

We know she bleeds. They made a point of showing it even though Kris bleeds in the same chapter and it's not visibly shown. We know she's considered a brute, more monsterish than those around her. She lays into this fact, playing it up. We know she had a rocky childhood. She's moved houses multiple times in the past. She's given up on trying to make friends.

She doesn't have a tail (or at least, her tail is a nub), and she feels embarrassed about that fact. When equiped with the jevil's tail, she'll say "figured I'd grow one eventually."

Kris used to wear a horn headband in the hopes they'd grow horns like their family, eventually. When Susie sees a picture of them with the headband, she quietens uncomfortably once she realises why.

Susie HATED Kris's guts, even before chapter 1. (From the spamton sweepstakes:)

Whatever they said made her back off and leave. I think she saw herself in them. The outcast. The odd one out in a town full of something else. Something that can't be understood. Is it any wonder she changed her tune when she found out Kris was not her enemy, but understood her? That Kris would leap to defend her, instead? That she thought, surely, this kid hates me for what I am just as much as I hate them for what they are? They don't hate me? They don't think I'm disgusting, a freak of nature, better off abandoned?

Why have we never seen her parents?

Why is it that, when we look away from Kris, we can only imagine "what Susie is up to"? Why no one else? Why can we see her, but not exert enough control to impact what she does? Why is our soul able to fight on her behalf without Kris's involvement? Why does she seem to exert control over the story even when it's clearly trying to be bent in favour of the player's decisions?

Monsters don't bleed.

Susie is a hybrid.

THE CAST OF ‘HOUSE OF THE DRAGON’ REACTING TO HELAEMOND'S THEORIES

AEMOND is the father of helaena's kids.

PHIA: ‘how do you feel about that?’

TOM: ‘it pisses me off, actually. i'm so protective over my children. that would be so sad for aegon. he loves them so much.’

[anyfire]

still thinking about the two realities conversation between mari and ben and how it works into the ongoing "debate" on whether or not the supernatural stuff is real, or if it's all just happening in their heads. to me the show is at its best when it's saying two things at once, ie "we brought it back with us". "it" being It, but also "it" being trauma. like, "two versions of reality" is an inherently supernatural statement. but it's also a very real one.

it comes after ben detailing his life as a "completely normal guy" before the crash, and how in a world where the crash never happened or he never got on the plane, he would still be that guy. we've already seen glimpses of what that life could have looked like when ben dissociates, and we see it for the girls when lottie hallucinates the shopping mall. we also see versions of "different realities" in jackie's death dream, as well as the dream shauna has after giving birth. and all of these visions and dreams become more warped/horrifying the longer they continue -- cabin guy in jackie's dream, ben's final vision being in the cabin with paul leaving, the snow coming down on lottie in the middle of the food court, and finally the rest of the team eating shauna's baby. the other reality, the "bad" one, the one infected by the wilderness and everything that's come about because of it, just "hiding, or waiting".

mari also talks about watching a cartoon in the hospital room when her cousin dies, and going out into the waiting room afterwards where the same cartoon is playing. to me, those are two different realities as well. but the world where her cousin just died next to her and the world where she's just in a hospital waiting room, as if it never happened, are tethered. sometimes only your world ends, and for everyone else it's just another day. we also see THIS echoed in the adult lives of all the survivors. they're paranoid, misunderstood, violent, strange. they're utterly disconnected from everyone but each other. the world ended for them, but it didn't for anyone else. they came back, but they can't ever really leave.

there's a reality where shauna really did go outside and get jackie. there's a reality where the team really is eating chinese food in a shopping mall food court. there's a reality where none of them survived the plane crash to begin with. there's a reality where jackie drinks hot chocolate. there's a reality where MARI drinks hot chocolate. there's allie's reality, where she was SUPPOSED to be on the plane that day. maybe theres a reality where they take a bus instead. but all of them, in one way or another, are real.

i don't know, i just really love it. i love how it plays into the ideas of fate and regret and doom and self fulfilling prophecies and how it reinforces the one true "villain" in the show being the plane crash itself, because all the tragedy that comes about because of it would never have happened. it's a conversation about "what if's" just as much as it's a conversation about the dream realm and the visions and all the other freaky shit going on out there. 10/10.

[cinematicnomad]

was lou supposed to say that????? (x)

[dudesrysly]

So I have this theory…

What if the car crash isn’t just another emergency for the 118? What if this is just another parallel now that we’re getting a lot of them? Remember 2X17?

What if in 8X08 Sob Stories, Buck is injured in a car crash and the 118 is responding to the call? What if Eddie sees Buck lying on the ground and can’t help but think about Shannon and how he lost her like this? And what if this is how he find out that he has feelings for Buck?

ELDRITCH DEITY x NERDY FREAK YAOI IS REAL

[muchanmocha]

Hot take

The new comic was never about ooOo surprise Guardian Shine sucks actually.

It's been said FROM THE BEGINNING that they love Mizi deeply but will never truly be able to understand her due to the inherent differences in what they are (Not their fault people piled idealized expectations of a perfect parent on them)

Notice the comic explores Mizi's childhood suffering but none of it was initiated by Guardian Shine:

Mizi was the one to approach that fish, which, fair considering she was a baby (preceding frame of her biting the jellyfish)

Mizi tying her value to her capacity to bring joy is a byproduct of Shine's adoration but we never see Shine threaten to withdraw their love if she stops being cute (hence this was a product of Mizi's natural survival instincts and potential abandonment issues)

We never see Shine incorporate punishment (verbal, physical, or emotional) in an attempt to train Mizi or condition her behavior, despite the fact that they would have every initiative to do so as on a literal level, Mizi's a pet

Alnst explores the different types of relationships formed between segyein and humans, and all of the above is to demonstrate the theme in their relationship — harm does not always come from a conscious and intentional place, but it's still there.

From beginning to end they wanted Mizi to exist just the way she is, changing nothing, because they took joy from her very existence. And that's the problem.

Shine isn't an unloving parent. They're an unsuitable one.

Tl;dr new content on Guardian Shine and Mizi is about how surprise! Good intentions and limitless adoration does not conquer all!

"my lovable creature"

They are so doomed your honor

Okay, quite dark theory

But what if Celine killed Rumi father?

Because Rumi is living, walking proof that not all demons are bad, but Celine made the girls believe that all demons are bad

What if she killed her father so Rumi's mother wouldn't fall in love with him but it was too late because she was already pregnant?

I love this gay ass show with its literally life ending injuries that heal immediately, but only when convenient to the plot, and its ridiculous use of modern phrases, and its laughing in the face of historical accuracy, and its kissing the face of the fans instead of trying to outwit them, and the way everyone involved in the show seem to go 'I KNOW RIGHT! I'M EXCITED TOO!' instead of mocking the fans

[copiousloverofcopia]

Ok ok so here me out with my BS

We have been getting A LOT of imagery of Secondo/Infestissumam related things inregards to Papa V.

Not only does the official flash animation for Papa V show the infamous flashing scene of Secondo's ancient serpent deceiver from the Year Zero video, but there is even a more recent "Red Death" inspired shirt featuring Secondo on it. This new Papa V looks seems, at least to me, seems to be partly inspired by Phantom of the Opera (the Red Death) specifically. Plus, the whole baby on the Infestissumam album cover with a HALF MASK!!! right, RIGHT lol

Also, they made the whole infestissumam stuff a part of the last tour, anyone remember the huge rendition of the album cover in the Spillways lounge?

This new Papa is younger right? What if we were led to believe that this is Copia's twin, but it is in fact Secondo's SON.

Therefore, they are still very much part of the bloodline and would tie into some things and make the younger Papa make sense.

Also notice in the V flash animation that we get two sides of Papa V mirrored what it that is a clever way to head that they will be two different Papas with two separate masks to differentiate them and they will share the spot line... so the twins?!

Also, if you would lol, remember that there is t-shirts and other merch with only Secondo (from my recollection) specifically that shows him with 2 babies which everyone assumed were the twins from the chapters but what if that was a red herring....

So.... my theory is that the new Papa, Papa V Perpetua is Papa Emeritus II/Secondo's son and that we may even be in fact in store for it to be 2 SEPARATE PAPAS, TWINS!

What do you all think? I'd love to know.

I wonder what Jax and Ragatha think when they see the other. After all, one expresses so freely the emotions the other tries so desperately to repress, making it harder to push down.

Ragatha represses her “mean” emotions (anger, annoyance, apathy, etc) in order to be a perfect friend to the others and Jax represses his “cringe” emotions (grief, compassion, wanting to be accepted, etc) so he can do whatever he wants. This makes it hard for them to get along, but each one has something the other lacks, so

Does Ragatha envy how Jax gets stuff done without worrying about how someone else would feel? Does Jax envy the connection Ragatha has with everyone?

That may be why they bicker so much. They’re fighting to keep down the emotions they’ve repressed for so long, but this ironically brings them more to the surface.

Their argument shows this so well. Ragatha puts her anger at what Jax did to Gangle over Gangle herself (leaving her on the floor w/ mask broken), and Jax doesn’t want her to think that he broke it on purpose, or that he’s a bad guy (he isn’t supposed to care about ppls feelings remember?).

Another example is how Ragatha starts worrying abt Pomni only for Jax to go “Poor POMNI? How about poor US????”, and Ragatha doesn’t answer. When Ragatha brings up Kaufmo’s funeral, it makes Jax’s mask break for a split second.

It’s like being around the other brings out what they think is the worst part of themselves.

This is also why they share eps 5 and 6. They are two sides of the same coin, so its hard to bring up one without the other.

I’m excited to see where Gooseworx and Glitch takes them next.
