#1899 elliot

[rotzaprachim]

been months since I finished 1899 and I’m still sitting here like why is Maura the Virgin Mary. Why does she have all this Virgin Mary symbolism why in the whole question of who the REAL husband/lover/father of her child thing is her name literally a version of Mary and her son is fated to die and had accepted that (but she does not know her son will die) and WHY is her son assumed dead but actually alive in the cave underneath a cross what does THAT all mean and added on to this nativity theme why is there a character also literally called Ángel walking around

Same energy tbh

I spent the first two episodes thinking that Daniel was English (but with a Welsh lilt because of Aneurin’s real accent coming through), to then realise, as the episodes went on, that he was getting more and more Welsh. 🤦‍♀️

Also, love that they cast the son as being Welsh too, rather then going English and following Maura. 🥰🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Though both of their accents are very subtle in general (in real life, Aneurin and Fflyn have stronger accents).

One of my current theories about 1899 is that Maura divorced Daniel after he didn’t want to make a simulation to save Elliot’s consciousness. She marries Eyk and makes the simulation. Which is why they are the 2 on both ships. But Daniel still loves her and believes he can save her.

The “We got married 12 years ago” is kind of strange but this would explain it a bit that they got married 12 years ago but aren���t currently married.

Woke: Elliot looks so much like Daniel, and only shares Maura’s eyes because the writers wanted to lure us into believing Elliot and Daniel are the same person

Broke: Because Elliot is the splitting image of Daniel, Maura’s brain has blocked all memories of them, not because they’re not real, not because she doesn’t love Daniel, but because it would be too painful to even look at her husband because she’s always going to see their dead son in him

//1899 SPOLIERS!!!

1899 was literally perfect??

it was so confusing and eerie and just creepy in all the best ways. as everyone’s backstories kept getting revealed, it got more confusing. i finished the show and the short documentary on it and im just so confused like my mind can’t comprehend what’s happening.

i also love everyone’s love towards each other?? like olek and ling yi, they didn’t even speak the same language but they loved and understood each other!! also the way eyk and maura acted around each other? the way they held each other? the scene when eyk grabs maura’s hand that’s holding his arm??? perfect, absolutely perfect!!

the actor of elliot did so amazing!!! he pulled off creepy so well! he also reminds me of young henry from once upon a time so i called him henry until i figured out his name wasn’t henry

i genuinely cannot wait for the next season, i might combust.

No you don't get it, the beetles Daniel and Elliot use to get around are bugs.

They're bugs in the code

That's how they change things around, they're bugging out the code

1899 was like this is maura and her boyfriend eyk and her surprise husband daniel and their son elliot and this is lucien and his wife clémence and her boyfriend jérôme (who is a homoerotic enemy of lucien) and her girlfriend tove and tove’s brother krester who ángel lusts after and this is ángel’s lover ramiro and let’s not forget ling yi and her boyfriend olek

1899 characters as cat memes I borrowed from Pinterest, part 1:

[rotzaprachim]

Anyone notice that Maura’s supposed child Elliot is hiding out in a cave under a cross that is his own grave and just chilling there and also that Maura is a variant of “Mary?” Anyone noticed this? Anyone ever asked if Elliot is Maura’s child but there is no father or the father is god or the father is the machine? Anyone noticed?

also on that note like. Maura as Mary the virgin mother in one reality and in another she’s the miss the unmarried woman who still has had a miscarriage… unmarried whore… equal and opposite reaction

[prometheus-ghost]

Eyk: I love her even though she's crazy!

Daniel: I love her BECAUSE she's crazy!!

Elliot (face buried in his hand): Dads, not again...

Predictions for future 1899 episodes

I just thought I’d write down my predictions/thoughts (again!) on what my mind has conjured up as possible theories for the future goings on in the show.

I did a similar thing as I was watching S1.

My mind went all over the place with this, so they may have some logical holes in them or they may not be in keeping with the show but just thought I’d share, as a bit of an experiment to see how right or wrong I am if/when the show comes back.

I will probably look back on all these and think how silly I was to think them!

Everyone in Maura’s room on the space ship were part of some coup or uprising (or something similar) and so they were eventually sent to be in suspended animation together.

I think there’s more to Mrs. Wilson than meets the eye. It might be how she’s being played by Rosalie Craig, as in it’s the actor, not the character giving her that particular edge but there’s just something about her that’s a secret.

There’s something ‘negative’ in Maura and Eyk’s relationship. Just how she reacted after she woke up and saw him, I watched it for the first time, and thought it was extreme relief why she backed up as she did, like she couldn’t believe he was alive, when she had not long seen him ‘die’. However, there just seemed to be something else going on that I felt could be read as something negative, that he’s not exactly as we’ve seen him so far. I really hope this isn’t the case, just where my pessimistic, dark mind went.

Same thing as above, there’s a possible negative part of their relationship but instead, maybe Maura is the guilty party. Maybe she’s tyrantesque and Eyk is just a soft, sad meow-meow or something.

Reality is another simulation. So, it’s either the ship was a simulation in a simulation, like Inception or the opposite (kind of), where reality is actually a further simulation, deeper in everyone’s minds. Maybe the reason that Daniel may not be there, is because he’s never gotten that far into Maura’s mind before, the ship was the furthest he managed to get to. @veturdraugur actually has had the same thought as me, here.

The whole show, everything we see, is actually in the mind of Ciaran, a dreamlike state and world that all stems from him. He’s the ‘creator’. Maybe all the characters existed at one point in reality or maybe they are all not real but are now just code in a machine. Also, he’s Irish, which I only thought would be the case because of his name for starters but also Daniel saying to Maura that her name’s Irish, even though she’s not.

Ciaran is a twisted guy, who might have made Daniel (if the theory of Daniel and Elliot being simply code is true), so he could have an accepted relationship with his own sister, without threatening too much of the balance of things (I can’t see incest being the case but…).

Both Ciaran and Maura aren’t real. Maybe the both of them are separate programs, designed by another, connected through a tech experiment of some kind. It would be similar to how the tunnels on the ship were separate but also all connected and how Maura mentioned how the memories on the ship were placed in a way, that was like the wirings and connections in the brain. The experiment could be something along the lines of, “What makes us human?” and it started as a way to demonstrate how an organic mind/brain and a synthetic mind/brain, if you can make both experience the exact same things, feel the same emotions etc. then how different can one be from machine, what is it that makes us, human?

Each pod on the spaceship, represents an element in alchemy, given that the characters we’ve seen have had the symbol for Earth dotted amongst their ship simulation: 🜃.

Similar to the theory above but the characters that we’ve seen, they may go into other simulations which are representative of other alchemical elements such as: Air (🜁), Fire (🜂) and Water (🜄).

Maura and Daniel are genuinely married and they do have have their son, Elliot together but for some reason, which would explain why she wasn’t drawn to them as she has been with Eyk, is that she removed her emotions towards them, for different reasons. It kind of works with the whole humans are weak because of their emotions, that Henry Singleton’s mentioned and the studying of the human brain, human behaviour etc.

Same as above (and kind of connected), Maura and Daniel are married, they do have Elliot together and the reason why she can’t remember or have feelings towards Daniel and Elliot, is because she erased it all from her brain. The reason she did so, is that maybe she’s responsible for Elliot’s death through experiments on him and got ill/died or would alternative, he was going to die anyway but she began experimenting on him, which would have probably sped things up unintentionally. She wanted to get rid of the hurt of her child dying and anyone associated with it aka. a husband. This theory kind of began because of seeing one of Maura’s flashes being a brain and that hasn’t happened yet.

Daniel and Maura simply worked together, in a similar way to what’s been said/shown in the show but that’s it. They’re not married, there’s no Elliot, it’s all a simulation created because Daniel is in love with Maura in reality but she’s married to Eyk.

Mrs. Wilson is the boss lady aka. the captain, the leader of some group of fighters etc. This is from me thinking she’s a little sus and also her positioning on the spaceship being ahead of both Eyk and Maura (and everyone else).

Everyone is a patient at a mental institution, where experiments are carried out in them. They’ve round my signed themselves away in some form. Their room numbers on the ship, are the same as their room numbers in the institution.

I’ve got some other theories that I haven’t written down. I’m probably not so strong in thinking some of these theories now, after a while of them sitting in my drafts and then my queue.

[in-a-name-or-three]

I’m sorry am I the only one that was convinced that Daniel was the Boy all grown up somehow
