I often think about the meaning of the Palace of the Four Sword extra dungeon from A Link To The Past in the context of the LU canon…there’s a lot of different interpretations that can be dragged out of that alone. I like to see peoples interpretations, takes and thoughts on it. Like: Did Legend fight dark shadow replicas of Four, or was that Four himself? If it was Four, what happens to Four, and how does Legend live with the knowledge of that? Is there guilt? Does he feel burdened, knowing that something untimely happens to Four? Is there guilt in killing Four, or what looks like him?

But there’s something else I often think of too, timeline implications.

This might have been answered by others before or theorized, but, I just want to ramble and talk, so and so. I mean it’s interesting!

If something terrible befalls Four, it probably happens sometime during his lifetime, that means after Four Sword. This happens before Ocarina of Time. Ocarina of Time splits the timeline. So logically Fours fate is unchanged by the time the spit happens.

In the Downfall Timeline, Legend fights him and eventually, possibly frees him by killing him.

But what about the other ones? The other Timelines? What happens there?

Do we account FSA from the end of the child timeline into this, that Four somehow conquers that quest despite, well, that being who knows how far in the future? Or do we assume Four here is also still simply cursed like in ALTTPs dungeon and still trapped with no one to free him if FSA isnt counted into this specifically. (Wouldnt it make more sense to put FSA after FS…???)

And in the Adult Timeline, I guess he’d also just get flooded and buried by the sea huh…would that kill him, I wonder if he’s already far gone from being human?

I think about it a lot. I mean, if it happens before the Timeline Split, during when Four is alive if we go with the theory the boss is— or was Four, then a version of this terrible fate must play out in every timeline. It can’t just be the Downfall one. Riiight? Right? Or am I thinking too hard. Well.

Any thoughts about how you're gonna approach moons sis def being a fading kit? How would this work in your world?

I've gotten this question a few times and it's honestly really simple; she can be a Fading Kit who refused to fade.

Fading Kits are extremely common to the point of not being a thing that is mourned. Clan Cats believe that they're StarClan spirits who come down to deliver the souls of the rest of the litter, and sometimes "fall in" either by accident or to briefly visit.

So, Moon's parents would believe she was just a normal occurance, until they were wracking their brains trying to figure out what's happening and realize the description fits what should have just been a StarClan visitor.

But that's as far as I'm going with it for now. I need to see where this arc goes, because I might end up deciding that it would fit the story better to do something different entirely. You know how the writing team is about having 6th books that are massively disconnected from the tone and themes of the 1st one.

It's just too early to be making plans-- but the idea that Moonpaw's sister would be a Fading Kit in BB's cultural overhauls isn't even slightly hard to work with.

Ik you’ve been told this before but i’m gonna tell you again, i fucking LOVE the way you draw Adam, and just your artstyle in general, it’s just like- so charming, everytime you post a drawing with Adam in it i wanna reach through the screen and grab him like this

But be Careful..... He is quite vitchous (literally beat a man to death and it really wasn't funny at all to be very honest)

In all seriousness though THANK YOUUU HEHEHEE YOU ARE TOO KIND 😭

The consequence of coming up with a full backstory for Sukuna for With the Storm is that I think about it too often. Little things remind me of it and I am compelled to talk about it; alas, it'll be, like, 20 chapters until fully get into it lmao.

Inspired by this amazing graphic made by @dappermouth which is very Sukuna-core to me and I could not stop thinking about it until I drew this.

I have found the best team to play in the Arcade Arena

It’s insanely fun, insanely strong (I literally only have half the characters built), and you get to say “go, femboys, go!” in a Dark Cacao voice every time the battle starts

Okay hear me out (other people have basically already said this but hold on this is my post)

We're getting very clear messages that indicate something might be... wrong with Clancy. During the US leg via the FPE letters we heard a lot about how Clancy was inspiring the masses, and now it kind of seems to be the opposite. Torch explicitly saying we destroyed them so we didn't become them.

Plus Tyler now wearing black shirts, with imagery that seems to relate to Blurryface songs. The occasions last tour where his "Clancy" shirt was black text instead of red. The Blurryface account tweeting again this tour. The bishops taking over the Judge that one time, trying to hijack a moment that celebrates the clique (irl banditos). Paladin Strait, which apparently is not supposed to sound like an ending, which concludes with Clancy being named explicitly by Nico, and which shows a version of Tyler in the mv literally sitting above it all & seemingly mirroring people's movements from other shots.

I see your "Clancy becomes a bishop" theories (I love bishop!clancy to be clear I think it's awesome) but I think that might be too esoteric to end up being the explicit canon (I could also be wrong and it will be, but functionally the rest of the point here is the same). The thing is, Clancy is pretty simply intended to be a version of Tyler that extracts and represents certain traits, just like Blurryface. We know Blurryface to be insecurity. Clancy has never been said explicitly afaik but I think it's clear he represents Tyler's drive to create things that inspire people (despite crushing obstacles like mental illness - Dema and the bishops, and especially with the help and inspiration of others - Torchbearers and the banditos (us)). Which we know can be incredible, but can also become self-destructive. We were introduced to Clancy at first cryptically through his personal writings, and only explicitly after a long time (and after being told he'd "died" by the characters that represent Tyler's mental health struggles, which, depressed creatives iykyk) because I think owning your creativity and ability to inspire others is a much more arduous journey than being controlled by your insecurity. But Clancy was never intended to be a different type of character despite all that. He is a version of Tyler.

And just like Blurryface he gets his own namesake album. A lot of people have pointed out how the Clancy and Blurryface tracklists can actually be read to mirror each other. As the lore progressed Blurryface became Nico (and the other 8 bishops) battling against Clancy, but they're all abstractions from Tyler's mind. Both literally, in the sense that he is literally the one coming up with the story, but we're also reminded of this on both Bandito and Overcompensate with the "created this world" bridge. I believe this is also what we're seeing represented in those shots in the Paladin Strait mv. There's also the fact that the Clancy era is extremely extremely red - this in lore represents Clancy's process of reclamation as well as his (violent) uprising, but in tøp's wider context it is kinda just The Blurryface Color along with black.

Blurryface turns 10 immediately after the Clancy tour ends. We know the Clancy tour to be the reflection of "someone's life flashing before their eyes" and that this album was supposedly meant to wrap up the Dema storyline. I do not think this means Clancy dies. Because he is Tyler, and he cannot die, because for that to happen I think Tyler would have to never write or make anything again. And we also know this to be a cycle. I think what's happening is what's always been kind of obvious, and inevitable. I think Clancy is going to become Blurryface. I think he's already been Blurryface this entire time. They're the same person at different parts of the cycle, and I think we're going back to the start of it.
