#kyle stibbs book one

[gaycubedenby]

So if you don't know kyle stibbs as like a fantasy music book basically that's under a playlist called book one. It's really good highly recommend!

But im here to talk about some theories, predictions, questions, and wants from the series

I think we are at or close to the end of book 1.

I also think there are going to be 4 books. One for each dread templar

Specifically I think it's going to be the commander and than the priest and than the king.

Tamion and half elf? Enimes to lover arc pretty please

The ugly judge is reevin. (This is actually my husband's theory that i just agree with)

I think Dyelle is going to kill the duke of grimcrest. Okay maybe this one is mostly a hope

I also think Dyelle is going to run into half-elf in the forest and together they will find Martin and Timmund.

Why was old regalia able to trap the dread templar?

What are the dread templar and how where they made?

What is this prophecy? Cause they talk about it being a burden, the dread templar fearing Timmund, and the last tlone of him dying. But i don't know if that's the actual prohecy

Also i want more of timmund's sister please and thanks.

Will dyelle learn that the boy she helped never made it to her people?

These are just some of my thoughts.

Look at my boy. He's so handsome... anyway new song art.

I think that the way Timmund's prophecy is going to play out is that he'll die a metaphorical death defeating the Dread Templar, losing himself in the battle. If Kyle chooses to give us a happy ending, then I bet the gang will be able to pull him back.

My evidence for this theory is:

1. The last lyric at the end of Knight On The Road (Timmund wipes the blood off of his blade) just sounds ominous.

2. In Return to Old Regalia, Reglaia said outright that prophecies don't always come true the way you expect.

And 3. His sister outright says in Heal You Halfway that Timmund hasn't allowed himself to focus on anything else but defeating the Templar's since he was a kid.

Just listened to Book One and. Augh. The Characters. Thanks for the recommendation 👍

You're so welcome! I think probably Dyelle is my favorite right now, Half Elf and Sariah close second :3

And of course Timmund, but shhh. Of course I like the swordsman.

If Martin is not a fan fave I'll eat my hat, he is just a little guy who loves his found family and I love him sm <33

New Kyle Stibbs song. But at what cost

[lime1991]

Ok explaining a couple songs from my Kenny playlist now ^_^ once again I am right about literally everything, especially when it comes to Kenny.

Ok the first song on Kenny’s playlist is “Unlucky” by Purity Ring. I just think it describes Kenny pretty well, and a few lyrics just remind me of him. There are a couple Purity Ring songs on here and this isn’t the most Kennycoded one but I try to explain the very first song on each of the playlists so there

Next is “Body Terror Song” by AJJ. Aside from my hc that Kenny is a trans girl, which would make this partially about dysphoria, I think it just fits generally. It’s really a tragedy that Kenny has a body that will never die and stay dead. Sigh…

The lyrics here are a little weird bc I had to screenshot them from a YouTube description but the next song is “Hard Knocks” by Griffinilla and Alex Cole (ft. Cats Milly) the original song is about a toy being played with (roughly, we can assume) and how Hard Knocks, the doll, feels like she’s withering away over time. The entire song fits Kenny perfectly to me.

Then we have “A Good Thing” by Kyle Stibbs. The family dynamics mentioned in the song feels like the McCormicks. Though I don’t think Kenny would snap and murder someone, I choose to think about it in a less literal way than that.

Now we have “A Mannequin Adrif” by The Scary Jokes. This song is underrated, btw. Some songs can only be explained with “the vibes” and this is kinda one of them. The vibes are just So Kenny. And some specific lyrics match up very well with my personal view of Kenny.

Second to last is “Got No Time” by The Living Tombstone. I have no real explanation for this one other than the lyrics inspired me.

And lastly, the newest song added, “Fukouna Girl” by Stomach Book. I once again feel like there isn’t much for me to explain and analyze, it just feels like a “if you can physically see and hear the lyrics you will understand” moment.

With the reveal of Half Elf's mother just around the corner, i tho8ght i should post my theory that I've not been able to get out of my head. This is almost definitely reading too much into everything.

Half Elf's father could possibly be one of the Dread Templars.

He's the only other person besides the templars themselves that have black hair.

He has a preference for being 'Good'... every Templar has 'Good' in their title.

The Good Poet.

The Good Priest.

The Good Commander.

The Good King.

We don't know how elves or half elves age, its possible they age slower. Regalia is at least over one hundred years old, probably more since Ellomin citizens call her 'Old Regalia' in the song 'Ellomin' - 'raise a glass to Old Regalia, wherever she may be'

Regalia never mentioned how long ago she found Half Elf or where (besides from in a fallen tree)- Many years back in a tree that had fell, she found a baby, a half mutant elf'

And on THAT note. This confuses me the most. 'She tried to give him name but God rejected

He took absolutely no damage from falling down a deep chasm (but then again, Tamion seemed to be uninjured from the fall, too)

It's seems awfully convenient that Half Elf was missing from the first Templar fight, almost like fate was interfering. THEN The Prophet seems pretty adamant that Half Elf keeps away. (His prophecy didn't mention Martin or Bear Hound, so I hope they're both okay)

He was only out of breath when Bear Hound slashed at his spine. No claw marks or scratches. I'm presuming that Timmund's blade is the only thing that can hurt the Templars.

If there are any holes in any theory at all, let me know. I want more things to think about.

Obviously, everyone is welcome to add on to this or post your own theories. I welcome them very, very much.

SPOILER'S FOR "AT MERCHANT'S CROSSING"

Tamion just got his ARM RIPPED OFF?

But honestly, I think this fight has easily been the most graphic yet, even compared to when we all thought Martin was dead. Like, the Ugly Judge full on ripped Tamion's arm off and THREW IT AT HIM.

I'm refusing to believe that Tamion is dead, though. I think he's either going to reunite with Half-Elf in a role reversal of Call You Friend, or Dyelle is going to trip over him during her escape from Grimcrest. Honestly, I would pay to see Dyelle beat some sense into Tamion. If anyone could finish the job Half-Elf started, it's her.

Also, Gobe and Augustin are quickly becoming my favorite little guys. I just think they're neat little war criminals!

Song art!

Back with our girl Dyelle and what I think is a monster from Tamion's collection. It looks like it's wearing a golden collar.

[derelictheretic]

I always gravitate towards sibling relationships in things and Timmund and Sariah are so tragic, I love love love the 'older sibling can't protect the younger one but they sure can heal their wounds after and feel guilt ridden about it,' dynamic. It's angst central and I am here for it <33

[dannydevitosthiccdog]

New art. I'm fucking living for this

[silverskye13]

I need more people to listen to Kyle Stibbs so I can go feral over it

[derelictheretic]

Timmund is doomed by the narrative and I can't wait to see where he ends up <33 I experimented with the linework a little with this piece and I think it's fun! 🤗💜

[dannydevitosthiccdog]

Gobe, my beloved, whose foots are you cutting off?

I'm so hyped for the next song, I love Gobe so much. Like I know, if war crimes existed in this universe, he would have committed war crimes. He's definitely a wanted man, Kyle has confirmed that.

Looking closer. I think that they're looking at something... something familiar. Looks to me like a hulking grey skinned figure shambling out of the woods. Is Kyle really doing THAT to them?! Is it Reevin or just another experiment from the Priest?

Here's the wanted poster in Send Off Song compared to Gobe himself.

[derelictheretic]

I went on a rollercoaster ride with Tamion throughout his character arc and man,, I did not expect to like him so much

that last song actually wanted to kill me specifically and it did I am dead i have passed away farewell forever
