So me and my friends do a presentation night every so often, where we basically make slide shows about anytime we're passionate about. So far we've had "why Merlin from Merlin is gay (and gets bitches)", "The Omegaverse Explained" "why Harvey from Stardew Valley is trans", and "'mick Jager oozes heterosexualaity' a rebuttal" (one of these things is not like the others, guess which one I wrote).

LEVELING UP (w/ your local reporter)

It’s pretty well-known that my blog always welcomes theories and ramblings, considering that I’m both myself as well as wanting to spread a bit of positivity out there. But months ago, I decided to take on the role as SMG4 Tumblr’s unofficial reporter, perhaps you might’ve seen a report or two from me tackling serious topics. Or you've been following along the #SMG4 news tag.

However, from what I’ve been thinking over for the last few days, two things really dawned on me: (1) while I may have appointed myself to be the community’s reporter unofficially, my words matter. Ofc I’m well aware what I signed up for and have been taking the role incredibly serious. The thing is: trust, accountability, and the truth is utmost important to me. Not only to spread awareness but to enforce the connection I have with my sources bc, at the end of the day, it impacts us all. The relationship between my sources, the community, and me — an actual example to game theory (thanks MatPat, a true icon).

Then, for (2), while is important to discuss the serious stuff, it’s starting to be emotionally overwhelming in my eyes. When I first started, it was simply posting the latest teasers for the SOTC arc leading up to movie. I’ve done polls and events (the real ones remember when I did bingo). Y’know fun stuff, I wanna bring that back somehow. After all, not all news is bad news.

It needs balance, and for that, I’ve came with a plan with simply this: by the people, for the people.

[ + more info below 'read more' + ]

INVESTIGATIONS

Usually, it would be my decision on what I should cover, it being serious or not. But I’ll allow suggestions be put into consideration if it fits the following:

if there is news going around in another social, and you believe it is something of value that could potentially impact SMG4 Tumblr, it'll be put into consideration.

However, if referred above has no complete story (like it has pieces here and there) and it still holds said value, it'll be put into consideration for a full-on investigation lead by yours truly. Though, based on previous experience, do note that this would take a while to do and it might lead to a dead-end. The investigations are NOT FOR THEORIES.

Changes happen on the official SMG4 socials, ranging from a teaser for the show or a serious hack. At times, it isn’t possible for me to keep track of them all. But if you happen to come across something, you can leave a tip!

This includes: show teasers, new Steam workshop items, changes to the Puzzles/WOTFI website, mentions of SMG4 in Glitch promo/posts, hacks (for both official SMG4 and our local community creators), discourse, etc.

PROMOTIONS

As said, I would like to encourage the fun news going around in the community, just to bring some positivity and engagement. This would has it’s own list unrelated to the ‘Investigations’ section with the following:

Unlike the ‘Investigation’ related posts, these would usually be a reblog. Think of it like an ad. So, it would be up to someone to make the post itself.

They must be COMMUNITY-INVOLVED! There is a difference between self-promoting your posts for personal gain/engagement, and wanting to welcome the community to an event. So, no, zero self-promotion (I’ve seen my fair share).

This includes: polls, character tournaments, bingo nights, ship weeks, project announcements, call for collabs, events, etc.

HOW TO SUBMIT

Regardless of the type (investigation or promo), suggestions can be submitted in my askbox. To be considered, here are the rules and other things that might answer some personal questions:

Please provide the necessary information — date of occurrence, the original poster, any docs or screenshots, etc. — if possible. Anything that can be useful for me to use. All media and links must be embedded. I will not be accepting hyperlinks for safety reasons, and yes, that includes Tumblr posts. Regardless, all asks will be reviewed.

When sending an ask, please put a magnifying glass emoji [ 🔎 ] in the ask!! That way, it's be easier for me separate it from the rest of the asks. Otherwise, it'll be up to my (theorist) intuition and context clues to figure it out myself.

The sent asks WILL NOT be posted in my blog or in the SMG4 tag. (1) Simply, they are suggestions and it would feel reductant to post about it twice. (2) There’s going to be at least one person who’s gonna leave an ask for a prank or something. But let this be clear, there’s zero tolerance for this kind of behavior in this blog and in my eyes. False leads could not only waste my time but time that could’ve been used for the news that truly matters. (3) I don’t want to risk spreading a potential virus or something with a link by accident, or for it to be a nothing burger at the end. That being said…

DO NOT spam in the askbox. As I’m not posting these asks, there won’t be any indication whether I saw your ask — that’s only logical. Unless I left an announcement in my blog for an absence, it’ll be likely that I have indeed seen your ask and I would get to it as soon as I possibly can. Please do be patient with me on that front. The best compromise I could give is that every week, I would post my status of the askbox (if I read it, if doing an investigation, etc.)

Feel free to use your account or drop your username, so I would know who’s who. As always, the anon option will still be available, bc it's only understandable that not everyone would be comfortable to come out for a tip, it's within the reporter's code to not betray this trust. HOWEVER, if due to certain circumstances you would like to speak with me, state it clearly in the ask and I'll contact you in DMs. (Just in case of technical difficulties, I’ll send out a codeword for you to use in another ask, it’ll be best to look out for it. Post will later be deleted afterwards)

To my moots, you can just let me know as per usual. You guys don't really need to do all this, simply send it over to me :)

This information will also be available on my intro post for future reference. Also fyi, I'm only on Tumblr under the 'midnight1nk' username, and I'm staying for personal reasons. If you have any questions that I didn't mention here, go ahead and leave a comment here!

Just as bringing the news to SMG4 Tumblr, I wanna invite yall to be part of it. Together united. And most of all, I would like to thank the people following along, to those who gave their trust in me. It's been a privilege to be your reporter. 💙

New source video FUCKS and I love seeing all the Matpat takes. Edit at the end jumpscared me

Also the obvious explanation is he's joking and that's what I actually believe is true, but it would be funny to imagine him actually trying to get some of the youtubers he's beefed with to come be in a series about YouTubers he's beefed with. Like all the characters are obvious parodies of problems with youtube and of people and trends he HATES and him actually going up to the people it's sort of about and asking them to come play the part of. Well, THEMSELVES. Is fucking crazy

Imagine if bro was ACTUALLY like "hey I know I HATE you but will you be on camera for like ten seconds so a joke can land. The joke? About how much you suck" BROTHER 💀💀💀 Imagine some guy who you have a strong legacy of drama with strolls up to you like "can you read off a script I give you and send it" after and you're like "??? No???" And then he leaves. What?? WHAT???? I personally would be so confused

TWST Overblot theory

CW: Spoilers book 6-7, this post is really long btw, Spoilers spoilers SPOILERS Spoilers for Malleus's age, grim boss theory.

So while I was going through book 6 (This was like when it came out) Idia made an observation and he theorized someone could be inciting these overblots. I looked over it as to what he said after made sense but I watched a theory from Rose Ember in which she discussed a time loop theory. I wanted to throw in my own two cents about an overblot theory I had been thinking about.

(As of making this post it is May of 2024 I am not up to date on any JP chapters, Crowley's card, or Heartslabyul manga book 4-Octavinelle. All of my sources I will be putting as I am taking direct game quotes)

I also would love it if at least some of you guys read this post and reblog I would love to hear y'all's opinions on this. I never seen people really look into it and I want to maybe bounce ideas off of some people on what's really going on.

Just remember all of this is just a theory...A GAME THEORY (RIP Matpat we love you king)

(Book 6 ch51) Idia was talking about how absurd it is that 5 (5 overblots up to this point) Coincidentally happened in 6 months "Overblots can happen when the caster overuses magic and builds up too much blot while experiencing intense negative motions" "It's a cascading effect that stretches back years." "And the thing that triggers emotional outbursts is the hardest to quantify our innermost feelings, or 'heart', so to speak a persons heart is the one thing we can't control no matter how hard we try." Idia's exact words. Now going with that statement and saying all of the overblots are just merely a "Coincidence" let's examine and analyze the overblots and why they happened.

Riddle

(HIS SAILOR MOON OF AN OVERBLOT TRANSFORMATION IS SO COOL IN THE MANGA.) Riddle's overblot obviously happened because his authority was being challenged as the housewarden from Ace going in a duel against him to everyone else getting fed up with his rules to defying him. Not to mention with the deep severe ties with his mother and her rules he well overblots.

Leona

His overblot happened because of his failed plan to basically kill off Malleus (He really pulled a long live the king here) from my understanding he gave up and the Savanaclaw students were like 'tf why?' he turned into an angry kitty and the feelings of being the second born prince and all that trauma raised up especially when Lilia went off on him (I fully blame Lilia for this). And he overblots.

Azul

His overblot happened from when Leona used his UM on Azul's contracts and blipped them away basically. When this happened he went back to that time when he was being bullied and was no longer powerful like he is now.

Jamil

Jamil's happened because well Azul thought it was cute to live stream his whole plan to the world exposing the fact that Jamil was essentially going to betray Kalim and well his deep-rooted years of being merely a 'servant' came up and he overblotted.

Vil

He overblotted because he basically lost to neige and was attempting to kill him (Almost killed Rook and the others). He accepted he had lost to him and will always lose to him and just snapped.

Malleus

He overblotted because of the announcement Lilia was leaving and retiring to Red Lagoon (Okay just leave your kids...ig?). I also want to say Yuu's announcement added to it because well Malleus is a lonely dragon who just wants friends and someone who is basically his father announced he's leaving and his friend outside of Diasmonia is leaving too.

Idia isn't in this list for a reason will get on with that later.

When it comes to all of these overblots in a certain sense none of them make sense as to HOW they happened. Coincidentally how is it that 7 students overblot in a school year especially with how rare they apparently are supposed to be. With them being 16-18 (Leona being 20 and Malleus being 178) You'd figure the eldest third years know the most to be careful. Plus if the staff is doing their job correctly all the students know to be careful right?

If it happened like once in a year that's understandable but 7 coincidentally? Leona had 4 years to overblot why all of a sudden??

I also want to point out something whenever blot would get built as far as I'm concerned they wouldn't even be using magic (Just having a negative emotion) and blot would built. Going by all the patterns from the overblots they get pissy it builds up they use their UM BOOM overblot. I think someone is personally targeting people to build up negative emotions purposefully and then they use a lot of magic which causes it. Having a UM like this could be entirely possible because look at the facts.

Book 2. It makes sense Ruggie would overblot rather than Leona. He just drank a potion that enhances his UM he was mad struggling he just GOT betrayed by Leona makes sense for him to overblot right? Not to mention during the Camp vargas events Overblotting was such a huge concern with just via their magic so why would the staff risk putting MANY students at risk of an overblot if they knew it wouldn't happen.

I also want to add Idia has a curse which has him burn blot and he was the first in hsi family to break that and overblot. However in order for him to thrive he needs to build it it's most likely being in Tartarus he built too much than he could burn off. (In Ch 6-51 it is also stated curses, and sealed phantoms getting lose can cause overblots as well meaning negative emotions and building power aren't the only causes to an overblot) There is a possibility from being around too many phantoms he built too much, but even then his family curse could have been burning blot during his overblot so Idia was probably never meant to overblot by any normal means (However if his curse wasn't burning off blot foul play could be involved)

Going by these facts the theory in question is a possible UM that affects negative emotions to be built up more and possibly a mood change. OR there is a pause on how blot is released causing it to build up.

(Has it ever been stated on how normal humans release blot if it's been built up...?)

ANOTHER THING. JP SPOILERS BTWWWW.

I cannot confirm my sources with this one so please take this with a grain of salt. I came across a post (I CANT FUCKING FIND IT) in which it translated if Malleus's ob doesn't end he will basically become the no. 1 enemy to society (Basically pulling an Eren jaeger). He's very powerful so you'd assume he's very mindful about overblotting especially if he's going to become the no.1 enemy of humanity.

I have some theories on who could be doing this.

1. Crowley

CROWLEY? Him and my other suspect are battling for first place but let me state my reasoning.

For the exception of Book 3, 4, 5? and 6? he was not present during the overblots and was basically useless. However he was present for book 1, 2, and 7. I put a question mark near 5 and 6 even though he was not present he was still in the general area. Via he was brought to Styx and he was DEFINITELY there at the VDC since it was a school event. book 3 and 4 he was for sure not present for.

We quite literally know nothing about him not to mention he's kind of a jerk face and will do anything to save his ass. For Jamil's and Azul's overblot this goes into hand that he could have activated his UM beforehand on them and the overblot started.

Not to mention during book 5 the headmaster of RSA was like "Bro I sense heavy magic presence" and Crowley was like "Naw you mad tweakin homie."

Two thing

He's Fae.

He has to be as old as Lilia or younger. But he definitely has at least 300 years of existence in his age.

HES A LITERAL HEADMASTER FOR A MAGIC SCHOOL

Meaning he DEFINITELY can sense magic so for him to blatantly ignore the blot sense with Vil either he was protecting his ass from losing his job or he is hiding something. Especially since it was an overblot If Malleus's magic was that good Crowley would have either sensed Vil's overblot or Malleus's Magic.

(If I'm correct an anonymous tip was sent in to Styx to check out NRC the anon in question was possibly RSA headmaster as it makes sense)

2. Ortho

Stay with me here

Ortho is from Styx and obviously Styx investigates overblots what if styx itself is causing overblots so they can study them and they are using Ortho.

Since Idia was theorizing about the Obs there is a possibility that he is not in the plan and it's Ortho plus his family and styx staff that's all in the plan.

(They could have gone too far with Malleus's)

It's merely a theory and I have no evidence to back this up

3. Grim

Quoting Idia's exact words ahem..

"He is seriously mediocre in every single way." "The preliminary report of him being a dire beast with high cost of blot density checks out, though." "He's a magical fusion of a direbeast, and some kind of animal." "He's as lackluster with magic as he looks...and his blot density COULD be phenomenally high."

Ahem okay.

So as we know Grim is a fusion with what could be a Direbeast and possibly a cat. Going back to exhibit A in which Idia said loose phantoms could cause an overblot he could be affecting the blot levels around him Yuu being the only one not affected since Yuu isn't from said world.

Some Cons tho

Using this logic Ace would overblot as well same as Deuce hence why I think he is the least likeliest but it does make sense as eventually Grim does interact with the overblot squad.

4. Yuu

STAY WITH ME STAY WITH ME OKAY

Yuu comes from different world and are trying to actively escape using their new plan MICKEY. However it doesn't exactly explain how Yuu got there since well 1 they are from a different world how would a horse basically cross the multiverse (Unless the Magic mirror is scheming against Crowley and needs Yuu's help that's a different conversation) we know jack shit about Yuu. HOWEVER Yuu could be subconsciously activating overblots since they are prom a foreign world (I'm basically thinking of that one mickey game with the ink brushes EPIC MICKEY) except Yuu causes them.

Cons tho.

As per the manga every Yuu is different every chapter and this would highly contradict (Also how tf are there multiple Yuu's?) not to mention Ace and Deuce would also OB.
