Theory Time

Honestly, I really like finding details in openings and endings. The first things I noticed while watching the new opening of High Card was this:

If we go by the clothes, this is Ban Klondike and he is in possession of the Joker. So there does exist one. We will probably get to know this through the new season but it still a nice detail in the opening.

Another thing is this in the ending:

We can see three people sitting at a table, drinking and playing cards. These are probably Ban Klondike (front), Theodore Constantine Pinochle (left) and Greg Young (back). As we already got told in the first season, these three have known each other for a long time.

BUT! If you look at at the ending picture in more detail you can see four people. Only the hands of the fourth person (right) can be seen tho. So this leads to the question: Who is this? We will probably get to know this in some time, still here is a theory:

What if this fourth person is the father of Finn? Wide stretch, I know, but listen. In the second episode of the first season, after High Card captured Finn, they suddenly employ him. There is no definite reason said why, but they offer to take him in. While working he can earn money and be protected from other people that are after his card. It‘s also possible they do that because they need more people to help collecting cards but why take some random boy then. Any why protect him? I think they could just have taken his card and that‘s it. But the order to make him an employe came from above, from Theodore. Later on the phone he tells Bernard to fire him if he is useless, but still. Maybe he is doing an old friend a favor or there is more behind it.

Another one is this:

At the end of episode 5 of the first season, Greg views Finns profile. He is not that expressive but it still looks like is thinking about something. Is his name familiar? Maybe he reminds him of someone?

Well, that‘s more or less it. It‘s been a while and I haven‘t fully rewatched the first season yet but these are the things I noticed and kept thinking about. Take it with a grain of salt. I also haven‘t really dived into all the other materials available about High Card. Maybe after a rewatch I‘ll add stuff or come up with different theories.

Thank you for listening to my rambling and feel free to add more or other hints :)

Group B Round 2

[image ID: the first image is of Sugar Peace, a woman with short blond hair, blue eyes, round glasses, and freckles. the second image is of Anima, a man with gray hair, red eyes, and blue-gray horns. end ID]

Sugar Peace

SHES SO IDEALISTIC AND DETERMINED. i love her so much. also gender goals. she doesn’t have the special powers of this series, rather she’s investigating those who can use them because she finds it very suspicious how they can keep getting away with stuff and her superiors aren’t telling her anything and belittling her for wanting to do her job. but she stands up for herself!!! she’s soooo wet cat skrunkly <33333

Anima

When a lady called Luina finds herself in trouble, she calls upon her family's summoning magic and ends up with Anima, a demon from another dimension. The two fall in love INSTANTLY (it's a bit silly) and the series follows them Being Married and taking care of Luina's kids together. It's really sweet. Anima is a TOTAL wifeguy and he is stoked to be The Dad Who Stepped up. He just loves his family so much. Sometimes I wonder if the author is happily married or very lonely. Main downside is the idealization of nuclear family but ehhh. [additional propaganda 1]

About Iris Moise and the Ace of Clubs

In the latest episode (Ep. 14) Sugar tries to find information about Iris Moise and discovers the autopsy report of the girl. She died a year ago.

It could be a fake report, but why declare her dead if she isn’t? This reminds me of something else. In episode 5 we get told the founding legend of the Kingdom of Fourland. There we are shown the aces of every suit. The one that‘s interesting for this is the Ace of Clubs.

This card depicts a skeleton. Skeleton = Death. The suits of clubs so far included abilities that involved elements and nature. Death is a part of nature as well, right? What if this card allows necromancy?

But then, even if you are dead, can you still use a card? If we look at the official sources, Iris is the player of Eight of Spades. So yeah, I am not really sure.

Another thing:

Because of this conversation in the first episode I thought that maybe Tilt is the owner of the Ace of Clubs. My trail of thought was that Tilt revived Iris and that‘s why she is loyal to him. But this can be scrapped.

If we take a closer look at the key visual of the new season, there are spade symbols seen on Tilt‘s gloves, so he probably is the owner of a spade card.

Another question that also pops up: If the Ace of Clubs does revive people, then how long does this last? What happens if you remove the gloves again? Is there a limit to how many people you can revive at a time? And is the power maybe something entirely different?

Well, thank you for reading and feel free to add your ideas :)

The same hunger sends us to prayer and sugar and sweetener and text: the rush of comfort that comes from quick taste, the body suddenly filled with a sensation beyond itself—foreign and seductive.

stupid fucking titty window distracted me on my first few watches (don,xt talk to me ok) but he has his hand held behind his back here... clutching his chips for dear life.. hiding the way he's shaking.........

princess and the frog chloenette except it's princess and the bug.

Spoiled princess of the Bourgeois clan gets turned into a bee after being rude to an old man (Fu) and must find the cursed hair comb to turn her back. Or, well, you know find true love's kiss but she was single and stuck in Paris so....

She stumbles upon a party hosted by another rich person like her, Adrien Agreste! Son of famous designer Gabriel Agreste. Ooh, maybe he could work except...

She's gay.

Good thing Adrien seemed to have invited other rich people. There's even this cute blue haired girl whose smile is too cute and pretty to miss. Chloe tried to look as decent as possible as a bee.

Almost getting killed by a book trying to squash her have deducted cute girl's pretty points but she was desperate and she doesn't wanna fly around trying to find a damn comb. Couldn't that old man just buy a new one?! She could buy him hundreds!

Blue haired girl stops trying to squish her - thank God - and listens. She's not believing her so she has no choice but to pull out the big guns.

Money.

Chloe doesn't know if she should be disappointed or not that this seemed to waver the girl's response. How idiotic of her to think...that...true love....no, she saw what happened to her parents.

Anyways, enough moping. Cute girl already said yes so she puckers up. Hey, at least it came with a kiss from a cute girl right?

They kissed and Chloe feels herself buzzing intensely and there's glitter everywhere and something shiny and-

A fucking ladybug stares at her. Oh, shit.
