Various doodles of my characters from the past couple weeks. Development is reeeeaaaaaaallllyyyyy slow right now. However, I’m getting some ideas from my coursework. Crazy, but this project is making me remember my coursework better. 

(happy!!!)

hi sorry in advance if this is weird but i couldn't for the life of me figure out who machete was reminding me of and just now i figured it out - surku the dog from the moomins. can't remember enough to tell how accurate that is personality wise but something about the image of a distressed pointy-nosed dog shivering in a coat... plus ne on molemmat ahdistuneita queer ikoneita

I love Surku! Surku must be protected at all costs.

If you ask me, he's even more distressed in the comics.

I keep him on my fridge door as well.

But now that we're on the topic of Moomin characters, I must add that I see Machete in various Fillyjonks a lot. The short story Fillyjonk who believed in disasters is one of my favorite pieces of literature ever, when I first read it it shook me to my core, I still revisit it on yearly basis. For someone who seemed so wild and free spirited by nature, Tove Jansson did remarkable job at catching and depicting the essence of anxiety, uncertainty, vague sadness and irrational fears. At least in my opinion.

forget the "entities are desires in tmagp" theory, i raise you "the entities are still fears, but all of the entries we've received so far are from the avatars themselves and not the victims"

Poppy Playtime Theory

(Chapter 3 Spoilers Ahead)

I think that whoever we play as was attacked by Huggy Wuggy during the Hour of Joy

I mean think about it:

(Chapter 3 photo spoilers below)

Whoever we play as is so scared of Huggy Wuggy, while hallucinating (in Home Sweet Home, the gas-induced dream right after entering) we came up with the much scarier version of him, indiciating that he scares us more than the others (because why wasn't it mommy or even catnap in the dream?)

And in the second dream (after being knocked down by CatNap towards the end), we hear the haunting screams of people being murdered during the Hour of Joy while we look at Huggy Wuggy, then the blocks he stands on (the ones that spell his name from Chapter 1)

The Hour of Joy tape that Poppy shows us reveals that he lept from his stand to attack people, meaning that we'd associate the empty stand with the Hour of Joy if we were there for it, right?

AND it's already confirmed that we worked there, with Mommy AND Ms. Delight saying they remembered us. And on top of all that, Ms. Delight thought we were dead. She tells us she remebers us then asks "How are you alive?"

My general theory for the player is that we worked closely with Elliot Ludwig, enough to know what was going on to be haunted by everything that happened, and close enough to Elliot to have remembered the news report about him in our poppy gas induced fever dream

I believe we were attacked by Huggy during the hour of joy and was somehow the sole survivor, thus making our way back to the facilty, haunted with survivor's guilt, wanting to find anyone that survived

If you have any alt theories please tell me :] I am sick and rotting with the release of Chapter 3

Hc that for Jon’s birthday (the one recorded on tape) Elias gave Jon these old half moon glasses that had fake lenses in them, and he was just a bit confused, throwing them in a desk drawer and forgetting about them. When Martin found Gertrude’s body, she didn’t have glasses, though every picture Jon could find of her alive had her wearing ones strangely similar to the ones Elias gave him. When he wakes up from the coma, he finds he doesn’t need glasses anymore, but feels strange and less like himself without them. Going through his things once he got back to the institute, he found those glasses in the back of a drawer, and made the connection that these were Gertrude’s glasses. He was able to wear them because of the fake lenses, and told no one who they originally belonged to.

We see Wukong eating peach chips almost all seasons, specially season 1 and 2? In season 3 he also eats them, but its not as predominant as the first two seasons.

Maybe he is bored and he eats out of boredom, because he likes it, or other reasons, but I think... he does it because of anxiety?

Anxiety eating is so common, it is often caused by strong emotions in order to avoid those emotions, or simply because you're in a lot of stress.

Why would Wukong eat out of anxiety?

Thoughts. Thoughts about the past. Imagine that he is so overwhelmed by those thoughts that his only remedies are eating.

Anyways I'm probably analysing too much, and he is just eating, lmao 😭 I find him relatable. OK 👍🏻

Maybe the soul as an organ could’ve ancestrally evolved in your AU world’s vertebrates as a filtering organ, like a kidney, that sat over the heart and filtered blood of toxins and what not. Then it could’ve evolved in humans and monsters to also regulate magical energies. Which is why soul entities can possess human souls, because they already act as a storage for magical forces.

OH. MY. GOSH. This is an amazing theory! KWHFSdkjadnfgl And it even lines up perfectly with what I theorized on how (in this AU) Magic is toxic in concentrated amounts!!! It's literally a gosh-dang MAGIC FILTERING LIVER!

Dr. Carb is very excited about this new development in fictional evolutionary biology.

The soul probably looks quite different when its inside the body. Its physical- but it is not as "physical" as some other organs. And since filtering magic is so crucial, the soul is closer to the heart so it can filter magic directly from the bloodstream. Yippie!

Obviously this early on its all just theories: so take everything with a grain of salt. But! I think it's obvious that Alice has had quite a few strange lines concerning the OIAR already and we're only three episodes in. She's considered the main character of the podcast by Rusty Quill (with Sam) but right now she doesn't seem neccesarily more important than Colin or Gwen- and yet she's the one they focus on. And because we know she's more important than the others her weird lines stand out even more. And maybe this is just her sarcastic humor but it still feels important to point out from the get go that these things she's saying are *weird*, and could maybe mean more than we'd initially assume.

adult taissa’s senatorial campaign ad tagline being “she’ll lead new jersey out of the wilderness” is some next level audacity lmfao my girl the one time you tried to actually lead everyone out of the wilderness it went disastrously and your gf almost died. so is that really the slogan you wanna go with? is it really??

So anyway, calling it now (and spoilers for Burrow's End Episode 1), the Red Warren is located in Chernobyl's 'Red Forest' and all the trees are red due to the radiation. The dust cloud was kicked up by vehicles moving along the road and the radiation within the dust is toxic if inhaled but it didn't affect the stoats until it was stirred up into the air by the heavy machinery. (This exact thing happened recently in the news, I believe)

The 'blue' is most likely the glow of radiation as seen through water (it's kept in water to keep it cool so it is always glowing blue). I'm assuming that one stoat saw it and passed the legend down through the generations. They mentioned in the intro that the blue gifted them their intelligence (paraphrasing) so perhaps they are mutated stoats and that's why they have language and societies?

The 'incorrect' and 'unnatural' rocks they talked about are probably overgrown roads and pavement. That would explain the 'burnt' smell. And it would explain why the dust cloud smelled like pavement if it was being stirred up by vehicles.

It was mentioned that Thorn remembered the smell from the clothes of the things he saw. That was a massive hint, as it's been established that animals don't have clothes in this world. So obviously Thorn came across some humans. He probably got his electrical burn from them somehow and maybe he also saw their machines?

Anyway, I'll be interested to see if this is indeed Chernobyl (or perhaps a fictional Chernobyl-like radioactive place)

I have one trailer of information but I have decided she likes frogs.

I just think it’s weird to say that Padmé’s “ideal” person would be an entirely different character from Anakin. When everything in canon points to the opposite of that statement. From Padmé saying the only Jedi she could ever love is Anakin (ROTS novel), to Sabé confirming in Queen’s Hope that many people fell for Padmé but she only fell back for Anakin, to Padmé herself claiming in the AOTC novel that most men she’s encountered in her career were never genuine and were always after a bigger prize due to her status (thus her never giving them a chance), and Anakin’s genuine desire and love for her attracted her. There’s much more as well, but I mean… the point here is that the whole story literally SCREAMS at us, at every point and chance it gets, that Anakin is the only person that could win Padmé’s heart. That he’s her ideal, he’s her one and only, he’s her everything. Yet we still have people out here saying they haven’t yet “decided” whom would fit her the best…

Some of them are really sleeping on the fact that Anakin was like a prince for Padmé. He saved her from the tower where she’s cooped up alone and doesn’t exist for herself. In the same way she’s his hero, and saves him from nearly drowning in isolation by giving him love, sympathy, and support.
