#CPT Theory

[omagpies]

what was the birthday party(tm) scene like in the au? Did cpt Anya tell them about the firing or did she wait on it a little (Love how you still keep their personalities the same - most roleswaps do more of a personality swap instead of just roles, it still changes them though!)

'ooh, anya's birthday party!' i thought, like a fool, before i realised that swapping roles doesn't swap dates of birth as well (unless we work off the theory about the one communal birthday that 'so we can have it whenever' means just On Any Day, the in-game party doesn't actually happen on curly's birthday, but i digress)

anya tells swansea when she first receives the note, and they agree to wait with the news for a good-ish moment. so she doesn't bring it up at the party, not wanting to mess up a good day, very aware of how much the mood is bound to shift once everyone knows. and then she gets busy with other things and...yeah

after the crash, swansea finds the note in the ruins of the cockpit and pockets it. jimmy finds the note on swansea's corpse, and it's another nail in the coffin of his damaged psyche, leading him to the conclusion that fixing the pods is his one chance of getting them out alive. for which, well, he will need sustenance. it's only reasonable.

au where you were married to Cpt John MacTavish, but wake up to find yourself married to Sergeant Johnny MacTavish (original vs remake Soap)

“No,” you state coldly. The shock was still sinking in.

“No, Price. That’s not my husband.”

Price’s gaze puzzles. “You asked for Johnny MacTavish, this is Johnny. Our Johnny.” He gestures to your supposed husband, who is taking this all in himself, but he sits just staring at you.

Johnny, who couldn’t stop admiring your face, your body, your ring on your fourth finger. He gave you that. Well, sort of.

Johnny, who was your husband. You, his wife. He had a wife in another life. Gods, what a catch you are, how did he manage to bag you? he thinks.

Wait. Gods, does that mean he gets you too?

“I asked for my John, my John MacTavish, my husband. He-“ You state and finally look, really look at the man before you, this Johnny.

“He’s too young, it’s not the same. It’s- it’s off.” You look back down to the floor, you’re utterly confused. One moment you’re in bed at home, the next you’re on base in a room that’s designated for “MacTavish”. At first you thought it was a dream, so of course you went asking for your husband just to see his face again.

You didn’t expect to actually see him, well- a younger version of your husband, much less an alive one. You had to pinch yourself, you really were here. This was real.

Maybe it was a second chance, maybe it was a cruel trick of fate. You couldn’t tell just yet. You were hesitant, scared.

But Johnny on the other hand, he was having a hard time keeping still and his hands to himself with the likes of you in front of him.

“Cap’, can ye give us a moment?” Johnny asked his superior, who happily obliged. Price eyed you as if to warn you not to do anything stupid, but still be backed out of the room.

You could still barely look at Johnny. He’s your husband, but so much younger, he’s still just as handsome, he’s technically yours but- it was all too weird. Would he even want you? What if he had someone else already?

“Bonnie? Will ya look at me?” Johnny comes straight up to you, holding your hands in his. His fingers playing with your wedding ring, he already loves the idea of it, of you as his. That ring to call you his and his alone. Never did he think he’d have anything remotely close to this, so he considers you a blessing if anything.

You reluctantly keep your head down so Johnny brings one hand to cup your chin, forcing your gaze up to his face.

The sight of his concerned face nearly breaks your heart. It hurts to see him yet it’s everything you’ve ever dreamed of since his passing. To have him before you again. It’s all so overwhelming you can’t help but tear up.

“No need for that, bonnie.” He smiles as he cups your cheeks. It feels so good to have his skin on yours again, you close your eyes at the feeling.

“If you’ll have me, I’ll certainly have you. Even if ye are a cougar now.” He jokes and your eyes shoot open at his words. You hit him lightly out of annoyance, but he just smiles. You can’t help but begrudgingly smile back, rolling your eyes.

Same sense of humour. Maybe he is your husband after all.

“I missed you so much, Johnny.” You admit, bringing your fingers to graze across his face. To actually feel him again, it really feels like you’re getting your second chance at love.

“‘Ts nice to finally meet my missus.” He says softly as he brings his forehead to rest against yours, but it’s you who brings your lips to meet his, losing yourself in his touch after all these years alone…

Then it hits you that this younger version of your husband might have even more stamina and strength- so naturally you waste no time getting him back into his quarters and testing that theory.

At first you feel a little nervous that Johnny might not like what he sees. After all, you are a couple years older than he is now, but he’s utterly entranced as you stand bare before him. His hands all over your body, exploring every crevice, kissing you up and down. He can’t get enough.

“My wife’s so beautiful”, “my wife’s all mine”, “gonna make ya feel so good, show ya what a good husband I’ll make for ya.”

Soap (cpt) and Family 📝

Seen a popular theory that Soap actually had no family and enlisted to get away from a bad situation, but honestly, as a Captain MacTavish stan i'd apply this theory to him as well.

I keep going over the journal cause i genuinely love it and i think it represents him as such a compelling character

But i find it interesting how he never makes any mentions of any family.

I wouldnt expect paragraphs or clear mentions of specific members, but some sort of reference. The same way he references Gaz's family, or the way he references his 'mates' .

It also wouldnt be out of character as Soap (cpt) does show betray in his writing towards Price and Roach, so its not like hes an indifferent cold guy that just writes about his operations and thats it.

The way he writes about Roach is akin to an older brother and mentor, he shows deep appreciation and good friendship with Nikolai and Price, and then clearly mourns characters like Price and Gaz when they're 'gone'. He takes time to write about them and in the way that he does. As mentioned above he also referenced Gaz's family, showing he empathised with them and thought it was unfair for them not to know the truth, while, when the London explosion happened, he also made a quick reference lamenting how his 'mates' were 'gone'.

So how is it that when he becomes a fugitive and a wanted man there's no reference of his own family? There's no acknowledgement , and it could be brief, about how this would affect his family, the fact that he's gone now and lost all his status and good standing , yet there's none - cause probably there's noone to be affected by his absence.

And honestly, i think this is why he bonds so much with Price and jumps the gun with him repeatedly.

I think lacking any 'attachments' really allows for someone to find meaning and make things like their job their identity. As far as Soap goes, going by his journal alone, being a soldier is all he knows; you can tell he has no real life outside of that. And it makes sense given his line of work.

hence why he so easily can tag along to a suicide mission with Price the way he did. Someone who has people waiting for them back home wouldnt be so eager (not to say that you cant be your own person and with your own aspirations and act on them irrespective of how that affects your family, but you get my point)

Tragic really, but think it makes him even more compelling.

But that's just my theory.

Realistically it's just the writers not finding relevance in talking about families but how BORING is that - lets have some fun

[ozzgin]

ok but now I’m curious about what’s on the whiteboard (unless it’s just random scribbles)

[Referring to the Yan!Professor doodle]

It is indeed a genuine snippet about the Dirac Sea!

Short answer: Dirac proposed the existence of an Anti-world (Dirac Sea) containing antiparticles, a model which was later disproved. It still remains a popular Sci-Fi trope.

Long answer: Let us briefly return to the time when Schrödinger had published his famous equation which described the wave function of a particle. Many physicists asked themselves if this new mathematical formula could be formatted in a relativistic way, according to Einstein's laws.

Now, I won't go into the mathematical details, but you essentially take the time-dependent Schrödinger equation and flip it around using operators and the mass-energy equivalence. What you get, if you're curious, is the Klein-Gordon Equation. If you try to solve it, you will get a -E solution.

Basically, they hit an impasse. Combining Schrödinger's equation with Einstein's relativism resulted in a mathematical solution which suggested there's negative (kinetic) energy. Is negative energy possible? This is where Dirac comes in. He sees the numbers and proposes the following idea: that our world is a sea of particles, and there's another anti-world which contains anti-particles.

The theory was quickly discarded, as it came with too many additional issues. If such anti-particles existed, for example, their mass and gravitational force would be so massive, they should be impossible to ignore. Where were these forces?

Later, Feynman would take over and clear up the confusion. These anti-particles of negative energy merely appear to travel backwards in time, but it's a mathematical trick which can be quickly "fixed" using CPT symmetry. An electron with negative energy traveling from A to B is really just a positron with positive energy that goes from B to A.

While Dirac's Sea turned out to be false, it was a massive source of inspiration for science fiction and fantasy. Surely you must've seen the trope of evil/opposite self from an alternate world. This is where it stems from.

My head hurts

Sooo after my rant I did yesterday where I was firmly in the "Bobby is meant to be perma 💀 but the show may need to row back on that decision due to the backlash" - I may now be in the "he's buried alive" camp.

THEORIES I CAN'T GET RID OF: 1) I just can't get that leaked script out of my head... like I know it was leaked by Oliver and JLH on April Fools Day of all days, but it just seems... far too elaborate to do just as a prank. It would be a very cruel and callous prank at that too, deliberately winding the fanbase up, as they both posted them the day after the funeral BTS was leaked, so everyone was already losing their minds. Surely they're not that horrible to do that to their loyal fanbase, right? 2) The foreshadowing with Cpt Banner - Brad's character in Hotshots - which Tim has mentioned his interviews... but Cpt Banner actually does survive, despite originally going to be written off. Coupled that with the two IG stories that Oliver posted the day of the funeral of Brad, this all just seems a bit too coincidental? Did Tim mean to do it as a way for the audience to prepare themselves for Bobby's exit, which everyone missed?

3) I think the Star Trek, Wrath of Khan references (also made by Tim) had some potential links there; I've already done another rant about this but some folks on TikTok will probably be able to explain it better than I, particularly with the older Star Trek movies, so I recommend searching that on there or here on Tumblr. (But basically, the script for that movie got leaked ahead of time and it was shown that Spock was going to die, which had the audience in uproar. So instead, they showed him "dying" - in a very similar way to Bobby and his goodbye with Athena also mirrored that - but he then actually was alive in the next movie).

4) Yes I know you have the statement that Pete made and the interviews Tim and Angela have done - but something just feels... off. Tim was asked about that script and he gave a pretty vague, one line answer. Angela's story on how she found out has changed at least a couple of times (said she got a phone call about it, but has also said she found out when she got the script). Pete has only done that one statement and one very short interview with GMA.

5) Just maybe they do actually have two versions of how this next episode will go, and that depended on the audience reaction. I do think now that if Bobby is actually alive, he'll go on to retire and essentially, Peter Krause will still leave the show and perhaps only reappear for the odd appearance throughout s9. 6) Oh and the fact that the funeral procession was very openly leaked. Tim has stated in the interviews that he didn't expect the funeral to be leaked, despite the fact y'know that 9-1-1 is a hugely popular show, it was being filmed in the middle of DOWNTOWN LA in the middle of the day, with a big-ass American flag at the centre of it... and the fact that they didn't even bother to close their set and not let the public in? Heck, they even allowed them to even take pictures with the cast. I'm sorry brother, what? Tim's either extremely naive to think that they would get away with it, or idk, maybe he wanted people to see this. Either way, this is a very experienced showrunner within television. How could he not know that it would inevitably be leaked if he allowed an open set? It just makes zero fucking sense to me that they allowed such a big event to be leaked ahead of time.

WHAT WILL HAPPEN? HONESTLY IDK

I'm honestly fluctuating every day rn with my thoughts and I could be completely wrong, but for me, some things just aren't adding up. Just bring back Bobby in any way, I beg

Aight, my conspiracy theory is that car manufacturers started making cars as ugly as they are now bc of increased megamedia featuring and promoting car culture. You have to design a car that looks unique on film so you start making vehicles with more and more wonky design for visuals over actual function. Instead of making a Jeep that looks like a tonka truck you’re making a car for a guaranteed 15 secs in a Cpt. America movie and now I’m getting hit by a car with the shit emoji for a front fender

Schizoid affected disorder and a myriad of other mental issues is commonplace within the psyche of the FBA female. I would know from personal experience having been primarily raised by two black women and by ultimately deciding to wed a U.S. raised Caribbean woman who suffered from schizoid affected disorder - a catalyst that helped torpedo our romance in 2020. Fast forward to 2024, a short lived romance with an Afro-Latina raised in the States ended with her attempting to take a hammer to my head like a scene out of "Hellraiser". Something is definitely in the water of the U.S. leg of the African diaspora on the feminine side. Jaume Collet-Serra's "Woman In The Yard" backs these familiar experiences but adds on the Blumhouse not-so-secret sauce of family melodrama to really drive the point home of recognizing red flags when starting a romantic relationship with a FBA woman. Operating out of just box braids and a crop top, Danielle Deadwyler shines in the opaque feature even when The Woman In The Yard shows up to demolish the fragile reality Ramona had forged for herself and her surviving family after tragedy strikes and leaves her to indulge in the single mother trope. At least Deadwyler doesn't play up any stereotypes while undergoing the role of Ramona, but still the film is unapologetically made for FBA audiences. Comedic cues such as the flashlight clicking scene that begs the crowd to quote MJ on some "Annie Are You O.K.?" madness or the Russian Roulette finale, where even Ramona's alter (portrayed by a sinisterly endearing Okwui Okpokwasili) is caught in a soliloquy, begging the suspenseful sequence to speed up - all that humor in the face of death arrives punctually CPT. Shot in the FBA- haven of GA, "The Woman In The Yard" works tightly around a small cast, focused on only Ramona's family which is familiar when growing up in a single mother household where mental illness runs unchecked. Peyton Jackson as Ramona's son plays the rebellious teenager who is now old enough to identify and call out his mother's issues and Russell Hornsby portrays Ramona's husband who overlooks his wife's mental disorder to his untimely detriment out of his concept of love & loyalty. These are essential and relatable characters in the male FBA experience and offer direct cautionary context clues as to why we should exercise extreme caution when dealing with our ethnic counterparts that share our U.S. nationality. On the woman's side Estella Kahiha portrays Ramona's daughter, Annie, who exhibits not only early signs of the same disorder her mother suffers from but also has to worry about her mother putting a knife in her back - literally and metaphorically. Her role is the most sympathetic of all the characters since she has no blood on her hands, but audiences still get clued in that she will still suffer the sins of her mother all chalked up to a not so wonderful theory Punnett ran with called heredity. A couple of films have came out in the box office this season about depopulation and "The Woman In The Yard" is no stranger to this territory. The film urges viewers to call the suicide hotline if they are having ideations at the end of the film, but the biggest warning in Collet-Serra's production for the audience is to be careful with who you choose to build a future with, especially if that person you choose is an FBA woman. The stressors and historical trauma that their ethnic group suffer from makes them highly susceptible to become the main villain in your movie too. - V.V. 29th/Mar.2k25

Screw CPT!! Bitch was ugly anyway. We got the better, cooler, superior version:

CPU BITCH!!! We love a mfker with ~flavor~. Infinitely better.

I unfortunately stepped into the kitchen.

I need to learn how to shut my brain OFF cause bitch, when they showed them shirted boys you know I started cooking!! I'll be proved wrong in 2 eps time so it don't really matter.

Crack Theory Time

We got options here bb:

Creator -> still alive and is the thing that took Yuamu. The cat is her physical form while the purple lady is her consciousness. The Creator is doing because (TBD) and Yuamu agreed to it because (TBD). Same with the other Darkmen. The physical bodies form the outer shell but the "souls" are in the cats. The Velgearians never "died". They were just shirted to make them easier to use. This also means the Creator tricked Kuaiduol because (TBD) making the Creator the ultimate BBEG, ig. Problem: Why/How was Zwijo exempt? Makes no sense to leave him how he is if they're easier to control as a Darkmen. Could be for "plot reasons" ig.

The dark thing was some wack ass third party and convinced Yuamu to make the DME because (TBD). The Velgearians are the "cards" of the Ohdos, and thus, any "Ohdo" earthdamar can repurpose them at anytime. The Velgearians are basically on a timer, where if they don't get a replacement of earthdamar via "death", they return to their 2D shirted form. These events overlap for "plot reasons" allowing Yuamu's earthdamar to use the Velgearians as the structure of the DME. Problem: Why are they traveling through hyperspace is all she wanted to do was bring the Velgearians back? I got no clue. Also, kinda fucked up that even if an Ohdo earthdamar decides to give them their freedom that it would be short lived. They can only be murder puppets and that's it?

Yuamu being kidnapped -> completely unrelated event. Each of these societies are built on the corpses of the ones who came before. The ones that are useful are revived, but the others are just repurposed for structure. Basically the VSC and the DME are both made from the bodies of what came before. Yuamu just found and used them. Her destination is (TBD). Problem: Why would you do this? This would make Yuamu look so bad. Also, this explains nothing about the earthdamar. Why did they melt to goop when they got there if the events are unrelated?

Yuamu -> controlled by the thing that took her. That thing being "entropy". Kinda like Darkness from GX, where they take a concept and personify it. But they take the physics meaning of the word "disorder" and conflate it with the connotative definition. The destination -> center of the universe. The Velgearians are simply puppets for the "skeleton" of the universe, being below 3D beings, and thus are molded into whatever form they are needed for at the time. The Velgearians always existed, it's just that the story of Go Rush!!™ is just the time they were given a third dimension, and Yudias, being given the "soul" of the Milky Way Galaxy will finally stop their eternal suffer by beating entropy's ass in a fucking duel. Problem: what?

So yea, TLDR: I need to get my ass outta the kitchen. Since I'm 0-6 rn with theories, watch these all be wrong and it's just cause Yuga. Just Yuga. He's here, somewhere, probably idk. I actually kinda hope they're all wrong, cause they all make Yuamu look kinda bad. She ain't do nothing wrong.

Also, give Yuhi his clothes back. Bb will catch a cold.

If they had a kid meme!! Judy and Rosie pleaseeee!!!

HELLOOOOOO SWEET ANON!!! i hope you are well!!!! the rosenthal kiddos coming right up! they're chaotic, a perfect mix of mom and dad, and have great taste in music! woooo! plz enjoy! <3 (undercut again because i am a YAPPER)

Name: Mavis Rosenthal (she's named after Cpt. Birdie Faulkner.....Mavis means songbird!)

Gender: Female

General Appearance: About average height (about 5'7"), brunette, likes to always have her hair be 'pretty' as she'd say all the time as a kid. She either braids it, curls it, puts ribbons in it, or puts a thousand different pins in it. She makes sure she looks put together more than anything. Big personality sort of girl as well - she loves her dresses (her Mom has great taste), and always sits with her dad to shine her shoes alongside him.

Personality: Outgoing and kinda chaotic. Sometimes she isn't the *best* in school because she talks more than she should, but she's a good kid. She's kind and helpful, and usually if someone's messing with one of her friends, she's not afraid to say something.

Special Talents: She's heavily into color theory and can put a cohesive outfit together really well.

Who they like better: She loves her mom. She loves her dad, too, but sometimes when she just needs to sit down at the end of the night and talk, her mom's always there. And her mom just gets her - she always heard stories of how her mother grew up and knew that everything they had now was because of the love between her parents, but she's always grateful to how thoughtful and caring her mom is and how much her mom listens to her worries and wandering thoughts.

Who they take after more: Her mom! Same smile, same eyes, her dad always says how much Mavis looks like her mom. Personality wise, she's a bit of the wildcard between the two. She's a lot like her mom and dad in terms of personality but can be really chaotic and spontaneous. Judy wonders where she came from sometimes.

Personal Head canon: She becomes a journalist for a fashion column!!!!

Face Claim: Florence Hunt

Name: Garrett Rosenthal

Gender: Male

General Appearance: Just think of Rosie Rosenthal, but if he were a little bit shorter and a little bit more chaotic. Brunette, his dad's smile, the same shy/awkwardness that his dad has, but incredibly loving and gentle. Also pretty funny (thanks Judy). Usually wears hand-knit sweaters from his mom and his dad got him really nice shoes that he wears all the time. Mavis is no stranger to letting him know when a hair is out of place.

Personality: Shy, quieter, but with his friends, is usually the one keeping them in check and telling jokes. Has great music taste, like his sister, and his dad usually gives him recommendations that he can play at school dances when he helps with the music. He loves hugs and reassurance and will be your biggest cheerleader. Has a steady calm about himself that people gravitate towards.

Special Talents: Can actually sing really well?!?! (maybe he and Will Bradshaw-Brady start a band lmao)

Who they like better: Dad <3 He thinks his dad is the coolest person he knows (though he loves his mom and her cooking and her hugs and her advice and her-); he always asks his dad for help with schoolwork, and asks to read his papers, or about his big lawyer job. His dad is just SO COOL. Sometimes got to go to work with his dad when he was younger - the secretaries loved him (no surprises there).

Who they take after more: Definitely his dad, but has touches of his mom there (mainly his hair and his eyes). But he looks a lot like his dad and acts a lot like him as well. Though sometimes, Rosie sees his son and his wife and think they look more similar than Mavis and his wife.

Personal Head canon: He's a marvel kid at heart all his life. No doubt. He's got the action figures, the comic books, he's seen the cartoons. He loves it.

Face Claim: Mason Thames

Book of Tower 20th of Crows, 1408

Previous TW: Gore Our standard rose with the sun, a perfect eclipse that hung shadows over Yinseefu. Village elders recognized the old banner and came out with dull spears and driftwood shields. Their progeny came with them and offered a pocketful of apologies. Arguments erupted in an unreachable dialect. Cpt. River held the line well enough. The peasantry elected a spokesperson to negotiate us away, but the Captain wasn’t having it. We were here, and that was that. Yinseefu was to be our forward operating base. We took their inns, their taverns, their family homes. Every building taller than a story became a barracks, a watchtower, and a brothel. The old complained, the workers worked, and the youth rebelled.

It wasn’t much at first: kids throwing rocks and bottles in the night, only once a fire-bottle. After all the hellfire in Ordinan, we didn’t take too kindly to that. Of course, they couldn’t have known. I have grown used to most all of our Ordinian brothers: ram’s horns and shark’s teeth be damned, a soldier is a soldier. Still, Chief unnerves me. Her zealotry has nothing to do with her gods. The Sgt. disappeared the bottle thrower in the night, set his head on a stick in the clearing. Every day we look more like the demons they say we are.

Our running theory is that after Chief’s outburst, the rebel started working with a local cult, the very same one we came upriver to burn and bury. The Rebel had new icons, rituals, vestments, the whole bargain bin at their disposal. Still, there wasn’t a real priest among them. There was a skirmish on Sunday. Lt. Bishop let loose some kind of spell. A few motions from his hands and the bottle–throwers started turning green, vomiting; one had a blood vessel in his eye rupture. Silent tried to take the bleeder to our medic but Cpt. River shut them down quick. The Captain had us corral the Rebel into barns, burned them up in broad daylight. ‘Townspeople are full of rumors and regrets at letting us in, almost as though we gave them some kind of a choice. Still, there’s no sense in sitting on a powder keg. On Monday, Cpt. River pulled us out just long enough for the cult to sweep in and show them their choices.

Tongues got cut from mouths and went up in garlands on the riverbank; old folk were scorched black and pinned to the walls. The whole thing was a shitshow. We watched through the night up on our hill. It wasn’t dawn before the spokesperson made the hike up to our camp and made peace. She spoke of them with the same disgust they were referring to us with just the day before. That’s not to say we didn’t take her money. Spiteful gold spends all the same, if not twice as sweet.

omg since we're sharing theories, mine is that zere didn't kill evie's dad but maybe his dad did. and when evie finds out it's like a whole big thing. and maybe zere didn't even know about his dad killing evie's dad, so it's almost like a test of his loyalty. does he stand with his dad even though he killed the woman he loves' dad? or does he side with evie and risk leaving the only life he's ever known?

when it comes to if zere knows evie is a cop or not, i'm conflicted. i would like to believe that he knows and he's just waiting for her to admit it so they can live happily ever after. but i think in reality, he has no idea and so when he finds out it's going to be a big thing. at this point, i don't see them having a happy ending which breaks my lil heart lol

Oooo very nice!

I’m interested to see what everyone thinks re Evie’s dad’s death…
