I'm going to go ahead and post both these cover pages together, since I'm pretty sure that combined they answer most of the questions for the series and I'm just too stupid to figure it out. Some observations:

The symbol on the top right has the Devil Fruit swirls but also looks like a sun

When I was young I always thought the symbol on the bottom left looked like a compass, but it also is vaguely sun shaped, and taking more recent events into consideration has a vague resemblance to Kuma's Nika symbol in his church. The four points also is also World Government coded, and I thought maybe the little dots might represent the first Celestial Dragon families, but there are too many of them for that to work

The staff thingy is also detailed enough to be significant, but fuck if I know what it means

I'm fairly confident that the ship is one of the ancient weapons, perhaps Uranus

I'm curious if the word translated Mooninite is the same used for Lunarian in Wano, which is both a cooler translation and would explicitly link these guys to King

6. Here we have another sun symbol with possible Devil Fruit swirls, or possibly an ancient weapon. Who knows. 7. It is a little funny that these guys did their moon travel with balloons, just like the robots earlier in the cover story 8. The sea monsters shown could be representative of the Blue Sea in general, but could also be related to Poseidon 9. The script shown is similar to what we see of the Poneglyph writings, making me believe that it originated on the moon 10. Bilka is of course also the name of the Sky Island Enel destroyed before going to Skypiea 11. I have no way to justify it, but the little squiggle between the robots and the fleeing Bilkans gives me immense Im energy. Maybe it's just the featureless staring eyeball 12. If it was important enough for the creators of the mural to include everyone crying, imagine how devastating it will be once we finally see this backstory

I'm thinking about that one hella fun fact we got about our dear zestial over here...

Yeah the one that says zestial is the oldest overlord...

We know in the pilot we learned Alastor finished the previous overlords that have been ruling for centuries almost overnight..

Which makes me wonder how is zestial STILL an overlord?

There are two possibilities in my view:

• he is a surviving overlord, means he was an overlord before and after Alastor came and stayed that way, how so:

1- either he stayed low and hidden untill Alastor got bored .

2- or he was stronger than Alastor so he stayed.

3- he took the chance and became Alastor's friend so he could avoid his demise.

4- Alastor simply liked him enough to let him be or he got bored before he met zestial.

• he is a new overlord, means he climbed his way to the top after Alastor got rid of the previous overlords , how so:

1- Alastor got bored which made an opportunity for new overlords to rise

These are my theories of how he is an overlord...

I don't know which one is ..well ...the most likely to be true .

What do you think?

My headcanons

Miss Peregrine is very afraid of Grimbears (due to what happened in LOS)

Murnau was a cannibal

Caul knew that Bentham's statues were humans, but he didn't mess with them because he thought they were actually stuffed dead people.

Bentham's Grimbear was killed from the battle of LOS. (I had a theory that he survived and became a hollow unlike anything he's ever seen, but it's just a theory)

Abe must have seen Golan thousands of times and never identified him as a wight.

Emma, Millard, Fiona and Hugh must blame themselves for what happened to Charlotte.

Claire is afraid of Enoch's humunculi and wants them far away from her dolls and stuffed animals.

Olive sleeps on the bottom bunk bed, but instead of her mattress being on top of the bottom bunk, it is stuck under the top bunk, so that she doesn't need to be tied to her bed and can sleep more comfortably (I'll draw this later)

Caul was never punished for attacking Miss P when he was a child, which is why she is so resentful and says he was too spoiled, after all he did not bear the consequences of his actions

Ymbrynes feel pain when transforming into birds, all their bones change at once and their entire body is forced to shrink, probably the faster the transformation the less pain.

Ymbrynes feel the peculiarities of others, they cannot identify which one it is, but they feel that a Child is peculiar. So a ymbryne identified baby Jacob's peculiarity , so the peregrine identified Abe's Peculiarity , and so the miss P always knows when Millard is present.

Lately, I’ve been thinking…

…about Sidon, Yunobo, Teba, and Riju after “Age of Calamity”.

The four of them helped save Hyrule. Sidon got the chance to reunite with his beloved sister, while the other three got to meet the heroes they had known only from legends.

But then they returned home, to a Hyrule that hadn’t been saved; where the four Champions, along with countless innocent people, died brutal deaths.

Yunobo, Teba, and Riju had known this before; having grown up hearing stories about the Calamity, and seeing ruins scattered everywhere. But now all those stories and statistics have actual people attached to them. Now they can remember the thriving towns and bustling outposts all those ruins used to be.

Sidon, meanwhile, already remembered the Calamity; and had spent nearly his entire life mourning those who were lost. Reuniting with Mipha helped heal some of his grief, but parting from her again reopened old wounds.

Then there’s the Yiga Clan. Sidon, Yunobo, Teba, and Riju got to see Master Kohga as a brave, caring, beloved leader; and the other Yiga as actual people, instead of faceless goons. But now the Yiga are their enemies again, all attempts at peace and healing soundly rejected.

The worst part is, the four can’t talk to anybody about what they went through. The only people who would believe them, and who would understand, are the last people they want to confide in. Link, Zelda, Impa, Purah, and Robbie already feel intense grief and guilt over the events one hundred years prior; and no one wants to make it worse.

Ultimately, the time-traveling Champions only have each other to talk to. But the fact that each lives in a different corner of Hyrule, combined with their respective responsibilities, means that they aren’t able to see each other very often. And on the rare occasions when all four are together, they inevitably have more pressing matters to discuss than their adventure in the past.

I have Thoughts about Guardians 3, and Rocket's arc.

Spoilers of course if anybody watching me here still cares.

--------

A name isn't just a callsign, especially if it's one you chose. A name is part of how you see yourself.

Rocket chose his first name as an act of *hope*, which was then absolutely pulverized. And in that pulverization, he lost every meaningful root he had, and every social link to anyone who could truly understand what he had been through.

Rocket refuses to be a Raccoon.

I don't mean that he just objects to being *called* one. I mean that he feels he *has no common species* at the beginning of the film. Even if he *was* a Raccoon-based prototype, which he doesn't know or believe for certain, he was deeply, fundamentally Changed. When he was modified, uplifted, and *tortured* "for his own good," he became something different than everyone else cowering in his cage. His species and his family was his experimental Batch now. And he is the only survivor.

He had believed that meant they were going to be a part of something beautiful and good and better than himself, and he was willing to serve that goal right up until he learned first that he was worthless to his maker's ideal of that beauty, and then that his family was going to be deleted like a typo out of the grand plan.

His whole life, right up until his near-death vision, he feared that all he was was somebody else's fuckup, wearing the name of a lost dream.

And then that changed.

He began to have hope. Then he made a choice of his own that he couldn't hide from his past anymore: whatever happened, he was going to stand or fall on his own power, and have a shot at making a difference along the way. And then...

He chose to be a Raccoon. To my mind he didn't just discover the name applied, he applied it himself; his kinship was with everything he wanted to save, all the potential experiments, not with his prototype path.

And that is also why it bothered me *much less* than it usually does when they mowed through minions and spared the final boss. Because they made it *Rocket*'s choice, and he chose in confronting his abusive father and disavowed God that *he would be Named by his choice to protect when possible, not just by his rebellion against the pattern set for him.* He was neither an heir of the Father's plan, nor a violent aberration who only existed to fuck it up.

He is Rocket Raccoon, and he's a Guardian of the Galaxy.

Hate to say it, but Disney's Wish is a very important lesson in how referential humour and intertextuality is fine, but not a substitute for a half-baked storyline. It had positives and a vision for what it wanted to do, but it's so clear to me that it would rather sacrifice the story for making those references in honour of Disney's centenary, and that is a damn crying shame.

I like the idea that Ines can vaguely see shadows of the animals from E2 pictures with her Arts. For example, her own shadow is a goat, though it may look more monstrous, like Mephisto and his boss form. This makes it obvious how most "advanced" shadows would look for her (and also enable her to cheat if someone pretends to be another race), except for Sarkaz, who have a lot of subraces. So, I wanted to guess how her acquaintances would look through her Arts.

Hoederer - his Arts manipulates ashes, he doesn't seem to have a tail and his cape looks like stylized wings in his E2 art, so I headcanon that he is part Gargoyle. As such, his shadow looks like Stone Gargoyle relic from IS, but with more animalistic features seen on his E2 art.

W - this one is the least defined in my head, but I think it would be cool if she was based on fungi. A weird association, I know, but hey, she has no demon on her E2, so I can improvise! Her outfits remind me of Amanita (poisonous mushrooms with "skirts") - where I live we have brown and red variety, so it covers both her DM and later outfits. We also have some round fungi that "explode" when you step on them, and we all know how much she loves explosives.

Ascalon - she always reminded me of Salazzle, so I imagine her shadow as a slender reptile with horns. But, compared to the Pokemon, she has spikes and neck frill to mimic her IS relic and hood.

Paprika - she likes to knit, so an insect- or a spider-like shadow is an obvious choice. Moreover, her E2 demon aesthetically reminds me of Hollow Knight due to its scull appearance and low set eyes. So, I imagine it looks kinda like Hornet.

Patriot - I see his shadow as something like the Deer God from Princess Mononoke, particularly its Night-Walker form. He already has deer-like horns, and the "spikes" on his shadow represent other Wendigos he consumed in the past. I also like the idea that, when he is with FrostNova, they look like a bunny near trees.

Theresa - she looks like she is made from white crystals. It's a strange colour for a shadow, and Ines actually describes Theresa as "white" in DM. Moreover, maybe Sankta halos are also similar and it has something to do with empathy. Meanwhile, Theresis is a "normal" shadow crystal. Crystals just feel fitting for the rulers of the people who are especially prone to get Oripathy.

MAG PROTOCOL THEORY (spoilers below the cut)

ok, so. last night i was reading the transcripts again, and i realised something. So you all know how when Collin was trying to fix Freddy at the start of ep 3, and got a jmj error thing??

well, because I'm weird af i decided to look into it to see what it meant. I found nothing at all, or nothing for computers, or code or anything of the sorts. (fuck knows if it actually means something, it could) so i came up with another theory. Because look at the letters. JMJ. that's a little too convenient, right? J- Jon M- Martin J- Jonah

and i know that people have been like "it might not be them" and all that, and that i might be pulling on threads, but it has to mean something.

if anyone who knows anything about code does know what it means, then i would like to know.

Little theory that has been rotting in my brain for a while: when Dazai created all those AUs in the book , he didn't change one variable - Chuuya. Now idk whether this was intentional for a greater reason or whether because Dazai would want his dog to stay with him.

So the book can be counted more as a singularity in the BSD universe rather than an ability. This is because Dazai is able to touch it and write in it without nullifying it.

So how does this link to chuuya? Chuuya is also arahabaki - the god of destruction sealed in a human vessel. If a god is possible in the BSD universe, then there could be multiple gods. Another thing to note is that the book creates worlds - it can essentially be the god of creation sealed in an object. So we have two opposing forces : creation and destruction which balance each other out.

Now keeping this mind let's go back to the original question, Why didn't Dazai change Chuuya in every universe? My theory is that Chuuya can break away from the book's rules. He literally has an opposing force of an ability that can either destroy and collapse the world by his actions.

If he can't be tied to the book, WHY does he stay with Dazai in beast?

I think the beast AU is the one AU where Dazai didn't change any outcomes except for one or two, making it canon to the original timeline as possible. The beast AU is basically a mirror of the original universe.

Coming up with HCs about how the VILE faculty became faculty themselves and my brain is stuck on how the original 4 look so much younger than Dexter Wolfe to me.

What if he was always a little bit flighty and unserious about certain capers but always voted against really ambitious (evil) ones Maelstrom or Bellum wanted? Like what if they were looking for an excuse to get rid of him before Carmen was born?

Cause if you can never leave VILE, how are all the faculty members so close in age* (*speculation)? They'd be like supreme court justices that never step down until they die in their chair or are assasinated, like a fucking Klingon ship. So I think Dexter was prob the last of the previous faculty before the current one.

Specifically ive been just thinking about Maelstrom. Dissapointed to say, he looked like he could get it when he was young, so I propose he slept his way to the top and/or killed his predecessor. Cause lets be honest. How do you become a good thief with your special ability being able-to-psychoanalyze-my-opponent? Maybe he was a good thief idfk

Cleo i can see her killing her predecessor. OR she was the Dash Haber to the previous faculty member and was simply voted in due to her ability and loyalty.

Please send me your opinions and ideas about this too ive been so fucking dead inside all month

I do think Oda was foreshadowing here a little about the special properties of a black blade in One Piece. Back in the East Blue Mihawk was able to effortlessly shatter Zoro's two unnamed swords with a black sword, and now in a more extensive fight even his higher quality swords are put at risk of breaking. Later on when Zoro actually wields Shushui he'll note its incredible durability (I believe the phrase he used was that it wouldn't break even if it was stepped on by a dinosaur, which would have been hilarious to test out in Wano but I digress).

There's still some mystery about how the whole process of making a black sword works and what it means, but I do think it would be cool if it somehow involves the sword itself exerting its will over other swords, causing them to break more easily. Much like a ship's klaubuaterman, it's been shown that One Piece swords can have wills of their own, so I think it's at least plausible.

Hmmm how very curious...

Have you ever wondered why Al changed the hotel's name in the first place??

Like from "the happy hotel"

To "the hazbin hotel"

Maybe it's a foreshadowing of his plan like maybe the hotel downfall or something?

You know what has been means...

A crazy theory that I love

Centuries ago I created the theory of why Caul's gifts were preserved and his memory as well. It's not glamorous at all, and it will probably never be anything more than a headcanon. But I want to share.

It's no news to anyone that Caul didn't really care about his wights, and I suppose that was true even when they were still just peculiar rebels. Probably when Caul realized that the reaction in Alaska had gone wrong and that everyone there would probably die. He did what anyone would do if they saw a catastrophe approaching. He just ran away and tried to leave everyone behind. How did he try to escape? The easy one, turning into the fastest bird of prey in the world and trying to get out of the loop. But unfortunately for him, there wasn't enough time, even though he was very far away, he was still hit. And as he was in bird form it affected him differently than the others, and the fact that he was very far from the initial location of the explosion also helped him. His memories were preserved because he was far from the beginning of the reaction (where the effects were probably much stronger). He became a different kind of Hollow, He needed to eat fewer souls than the others to return to his human form, and there was a clear difference between him and his peers. All the wights have lost their peculiar souls, Caul lost his human soul. He still has his gifts, but humanity, and all the feelings and emotions that make us human are gone with his soul. Empathy, love, morals and ethics were gone.

But the wights would hate him, after all he abandoned them. But as none of them remember what happened, Caul, who returned to human form first of all, and thus easily made everyone believe his version of the story.

Caul is different from the others, he has his powers, he has his memories, something made him special, better than the others, and it is not explained what that would be.So I simply theorized that what made him different (even though he experienced the same event as his companions) was the way he was affected.A different way from the others. A unique form that gave him the unique abilities that made him a leader to those monsters.

funfact a giraffe's kick is strong enough to decapitate a LION

But what mystery do they hold besides coming from the boiling isles.

“Tears of the Kingdom” Headcanon Grab-Bag

Although young, Mattison is already a gifted carpenter, architect, and tailor; who builds miniature Dream Homes for the Minish living in and near Tarrey Town. She later expands her business to Gerudo Town; where the resident Minish have no need for houses, but love the furniture and clothes Mattison makes.

Though his building skills leave something to be desired, there’s a reason Addison is able to safely traverse all over Hyrule to set up signs in random locations. Once, a Yiga Blademaster knocked over one of Addison’s signs while trying to rob him. Addison proceeded to pick up the sign, and use it to beat the Blademaster into unconsciousness; earning himself a spot alongside Magda on the Yiga Clan’s “avoid at all costs” list.

Fun fact: tomato seeds can pass intact through the human digestive system. Most of the Hylian Tomatoes you find growing throughout Hyrule were accidentally planted by travelers stopping to relieve themselves.

The real reason why the Divine Beasts don’t appear is because all four were knocked out of commission by their region’s disasters. Vah Naboris was half-buried in the sand, Vah Ruta’s workings got gunked up, Vah Medoh crashed after its engines froze, and Vah Rudania was intentionally sabotaged by Yunobo while possessed by the mask.

For both “Tears of the Kingdom” and “The Wind Waker”: before everything went to hell, Ganondorf sometimes put on marionette shows for Gerudo children.

Detective Conan/ Magic Kaito Theory Thread

Hi everyone, this one was inspired by reddit posts that I see, I don't think I have seen a recent one and I think a new updated one is needed due to the direction of the plot. Feel free to dump all your theories in the comments or in re-blogs, whatever works for you. Your theories can be about either of them or both. It can also be very generic or things you want to happen.
