Who told Xander to kill Teruko?
It seems like by far the most popular fan theory for who told Xander to “kill Teruko Tawaki” is that David did it, because he’s a manipulator and Xander trusted him. But I’ve got a countertheory to that theory, because I don’t really believe it.
Why? Mainly because Xander seems like he would’ve been very hard to motivate into murder. In his words, he “hates murderers”. I’m not sure even the great David Chiem could convince him to murder someone.
Who do I think could convince Xander to kill Teruko, then? That’s simple.
Xander could.
I’ve got a theory that Xander left a note for himself before his memories were wiped telling him to kill Teruko. When he stabs Teruko, he says “I need to trust in myself that this was worth it.” This could mean he needs to trust himself in trusting the person who told him to kill, but wouldn’t it be interesting if he meant he literally had to trust himself?
I just feel like it would really hard for anyone to convince Xander to kill Teruko. Xander, as the Ultimate Rebel, has to believe in his own resolve. If he was convinced at some point that Teruko needed to die, even if he forgot, wouldn’t he still believe his own past judgement?
A semi crack theory to accompany this is that pregame Xander put a message inside of his empty eye socket to smuggle it in. He might’ve seen it when he changes out his eyepatch in episode 3. This is based on no evidence, just my imagination.
But of course, that’s just a theory. A Despair Time theory. Thanks for reading. (Insert relevant meme)

Losing my shit about this article in which a transphobic Tory was so busy panicking about existing in the vicinity of a Trans that she almost certainly misheard "jeans" as "penis" and decided that not only was this a problem with the other woman, but also that the world must be informed of this pressing danger.
"a trans woman! I had to stand directly behind her....I thought, 'this is going well', I'm handling The Situation fine'..."
translated: I saw a tall woman with broad shoulders. How would I get out of this alive? I thought. she has a PENIS. PENIS PENIS PENIS. through some force of PENIS I mean will I managed to PENIS behave normally towards her. My hands were PENIS PENIS PENIS shaking as I tried to dry them. summoning up all my PENIS courage I said 'dryer's crap innit'. she turned to me and said " yeah I'm just goiPENIS PENIS PENIS"
It's been a week and I'm still shaking. This proves trans women are the problem and I'm not weird. I'm fine. It's fine. If you think about it I'm the hero hePENIS!!!!!
very this

i feel like the boys’ representation in “it’s a terrible life” is a really accurate and insightful look into how they work on an Instinctual level.
at first it seems like just a funny bit for dean to be the one dismissing the ghost thing, but dean wesson actually fits perfectly into dean’s personality. i mean, think about it. hunter dean is OBSESSED with the job. he lives breathes and sleeps hunting. he’s proud of who he is and what he does, and he enjoys being a part of something. this episode shows how that’s part of dean’s intrinsic personality. he needs order. structure. discipline.
sam is mischaracterized as ‘the emotional one’, but i think dean’s a lot more of a romantic than him. he likes the idea of a stable life, whether that’s hunting or a cushy corporate job. he wakes up at 6am everyday, has a distinct routine and a circle of friends. he does herbal detoxes and drinks frothy rice milk lattes.
life is a package for him. dean likes fitting in. he doesn’t like breaking status quo. he instinctively looks to blend in, whether that’s in a corporate environment or with his father and other hunters. dean likes the idea of family. connection. he needs people, people who are familiar and trustworthy. he’s very community/family oriented. he’s not a lone wolf.
but sam on the other hand, he’s intrinsically in tune with weird frequencies. he’s strange and he picks up strange things. he cares about people and appreciates connection but he values himself and his gut instinct more. he loves sticking his nose where it doesn’t belong. he doesn’t give a fuck about blending in. he didn’t as a hunter so he sure as hell doesn’t in a goddamn tech support cubicle.
sam straight up tells dean that everything about this feels wrong. and you can TELL that dean feels it as well. sam tells him that he thinks he should be doing more, it’s in his blood, he hates everything about this fake life. but dean deflects. no matter how uncomfortable he seems he pushes it down in favour of predictably and routine. even if deep down, he knows its wrong, it takes him a lot more time than sam to admit it.
this shows that sam is more than ‘hunting bad’ and dean is more than ‘hunting good’. it was never about hunting. sam refuses to turn a blind eye. he WANTS to rebel. it’s his nature. he instinctively looks for things that don’t line up and he calls that out. he doesn’t care about the backlash. dean needs stability. he needs people. he needs to feel like he’s a part of something. it’s why he brushes off that feeling of wrongness so quickly at the beginning of the episode, because he’s willing to overlook some of the bad for the benefits.
it’s just like how hunter dean is willing to defend john, defend the grisly violence of hunting, and convince himself into thinking this is his only choice. sam refuses to do that. he instead latches onto that feeling of otherness and rebels even though it costs him family and familiarity.

i have a wild thought that i’m just throwing here so that y’all can do whatever you want with it
y’know how current blue team has two members working for the eye? forever, infected with the virus, and elquackity?and how they both were in the same team at the start?
what if the team they are in isn’t the cursed one but whoever the other team competing against them is? because if the team they are in wins and ”saves” the eggs, they can kill them at the eye’s command? what if red is the cursed team solely because red losing ensures the team with the traitors having the lives of the eggs in their hands?

(rant warning 😱)
The fact that Sonic from that one sonic boom game, says "He'd be a great addition to the sonic team" kinda says a lot about how much sonic knows him, more than we do.
I mean, yeah, sure, from the moment we're introduced to Shadow the hedgehog!boom, we know that they've already met before.
But as viewers, the only thing we've seen, is how violent and mean shadow can be. (Like, my dude swung tails by the tails like my ceiling fan 💀 man has no remorse whatsoever)
So, I'm wondering why we've "never" questioned why Sonic would have wanted him in the first place. I mean, my guy is not the brightest in the room, so why HIM?
(I don't wanna begin questioning the canon radar of The rise of lyric, so let's just pretend that it is, for the sake of this rant)
Sonic has probably seen sides of Shadow that isn't so bad. From the dialogue: "Too bad that guy is such hardcase" probably means he still couldn't find ways to communicate with Shadow in a good way, but still— Sonic knew that Shadow isn't all that bad, he just knows that he's "acting" bad..
For the sake of his ego? Past trauma? We'll never know, but we know that Sonic knows. He describes Shadow as a hardcase, a case that is hard to open, but still a case that could be open.
Sonic probably wanted Shadow in his team, because of his strength and the help he could give, but the guy is simply a hardcase.
In my conclusion, Shadow!boom is mean, really mean. But he's not so mean to the point Sonic couldn't stand him.
Honourable mention: When Shadow asks Sonic whether Eggman has manipulated him in some ways and Sonic said "probably", Shadow immediately takes it as a yes and went to beat up eggman without proofs or questions... It kind of shows that he also has some level of trust with Sonic. Which is funny, because that scene happend just after Shadow beats the living soul out of him.
"are you implying that eggman has tricked me?"
"ermm, idk prolly yes? I could be wrong tho"
"Aight, say less" *goes to beat up the wrong eggman*
Edit: Sorry, my bad, The game that I was quoting to, was called Sonic Boom shattered crystal, not Rise of lyric. I can't believe they made this much game, I thought there was only one. Cool on them though.
