You know what I said it in the tags earlier but I’m gonna say it out loud now because I love being doomed by the narrative.

Obviously, Belos doesn’t care about the grimwalkers too much anymore. Doesn’t seem to do much except use them as child soldiers and, I dunno, feel some sort of twisted joy out of making “Caleb” work against witches.

But that’s just it. Some part of him cares, just a little bit, because he keeps making grimwalkers from his brother. And, clearly, he didn’t just make them on a whim. Belos wanted Caleb back. He still wants Caleb back. He wants to kill everything that made Caleb leave him, from a palisman to an entire society. He was already going to kill Hunter for betraying him, but he wanted to make it violent after realizing how close the similarities came to Caleb’s ‘betrayal.’

Belos wants Caleb back. The solution? Make a grimwalker. That doesn’t work. They don’t look the same. They don’t act the same. Even when he tries to mold them to be, he kills them. Why?

Because Belos killed Caleb simply for the act of being Caleb. No matter what he does, the fact will always be that Caleb is someone who learned to love a witch and live with magic, and those are things he had to kill him for. If he made a grimwalker exactly like Caleb, they’d always wind up six feet under.

He can’t make a “better” Caleb, either. To make a “better” Caleb is to make someone who isn’t Caleb. There is no “better version.” There’s only Caleb, and not-Caleb. Even if the grimwalker was perfect, if they were everything Belos wanted the two of them to be, they wouldn’t be Caleb. Because the real Caleb doesn’t think like Belos. So, it’s not Caleb, and he kills them.

Every single Golden Guard was destined to die because of something they couldn’t control. It wasn’t because they all betrayed, or because Belos despised them, or he because got bored. It was because he was trying to get his brother back. A brother who would stay forever, who would agree with his actions, who would love him unconditionally, all at the same time.

And that brother doesn’t exist.

I watched NPMD with my dad last night and noticed something

as the title says, me and my dad were watching nerdy prudes must die last night and it was his first time watching anything starkid related(he'll be coming back for tgwdlm, let me tell you), but I've already seen it like four times. and I just made this connection that no one else is talking about, leading to believe that I'm the first to realize this, or I'm wrong and stupid(which is far more likely).

but in the scene where they prank max, Peter is dressed as a ghost and says max jägerman but with vibrato or something idk. and Max is drunk right then, so he thinks it's real. and sure, he found out a few minutes later that it wasn't real, but his only experience with a ghost sounded all OOooOOOoooOo. and of course he probably sobered up a little when he fell three storeys and was stabbed through the chest. but when he came back as a ghost, he calls out richie's name the same way Pete called out his name.

TLDR; Max Jägermans ghost took notes on the dead soul of lin manuel miranda.

#peter spankoffski #max jagerman #npmd #nerdy prudes must die #npmd spoilers #starkid npmd #npmd theory #is this a theory?#idk #coolest thing I've ever noticed in any media btw #maybe the part in the nerdy prudes must die number and in dirty dudes must die #when everyone else is there but they don't know what happening because they're watching the game/dancing.#but I wasn't even the first to notice that #so this is pretty cool for me

Hello. I had a very big little thought about Copia a minute ago. So if you would like to read this theory/ramble about Copia please continue.

So Copia’s papal paint is based off a rat skull, he seems to be the first Papa to have non-human based papal paint. So that in itself sticks out a bit. Ok, so what usually comes to mind when rats are mentioned? The plague, disease, pests, crowded cities, and lab rats for experiments. That’s the one. Alright a lab rat, what does that have to do with anything? Bear with me for a bit, while I slightly change the subject. (This will [hopefully] make sense in the end.) Let’s take a minute to think of Copia’s name. It’s Copia not Quarto (the Italian word for fourth). So what does Copia mean? Copia translates to ‘copy’. That’s kind of weird. Why would he be named copy? Are there more of him? Alright let’s assume there are a few Copia’s just stored in the back of the Clergy. Now let’s toss in the rat thing from earlier. A lab rat named copy. Interesting. Are they performing tests on him? They might be. We don’t know what happens behind closed doors. Ok then let’s peek through the cracks and see what we can find. Hmm. Man they sure do love hinting at his death. That’s odd, they’ve been hinting for years and yet he’s still alive. But would we know if he died since he’s possibly got a clone? How easy would it be to end a man and immediately send his copy back out onto the stage? That could explain some odd behavior. So, I ask again, why hint at his death so much and not do it? Now we get to the second part which is my first draft because I’m writing as I come up with this stuff. So why? Why did they make this copy lab rat man? For testing I guess. Maybe they’re trying to see how resurrection works. (Possibly to bring back a deceased papa?) Maybe Copia is not a man, but a machine. That would explain the whole Phantomime robot thingie. Maybe Copia realized he’s just a duplicate, that could explain that one time he freaked out during Rats. (Please tell me you know what I’m talking about.) That could somewhat explain Stay. (That song gives me so many yandere vibes.) Anyway I went extremely far off the rails. I really hope this makes sense because I wrote this after drinking caffeine at like 9pm. If I messed up some information or if you want to add your own theories feel free to. Remember kids, the line between genius and insanity is pretty blurry, see you later.

GUYS

episode four of supernatural academy, when Brax and Jae are in Faerie - when Brax is slumped against a tree you see some black floaty stuff approaching him

IT'S THE SHADOW SPAWN

I've figured it out!!! that must be when he got possessed!!!

poor Brax :(

the time stamp is like 11:50 (a bit before and a bit afterwards but yeah) on netflix

I'm going to pretend that it laid dormant in him until right at the end, otherwise it's too sad cause like more than half of the show so far wouldn't even be him really cause he would be possessed

Headmaster Speculation [Unfinished/Half-baked]

To be specific, this was an old thought ramble after a discord friend pointed something out regarding my Crowley rants from before. Again this is all pure speculation with a dash of imagination nothing more nothing less. I'm open for discussion about this (agreeing or disagreeing I'm fine with such) just please be respectful about it thank you ^ ^.

Reference posts used: [Crowley Rant] [Yuu is Twsted Mickey Mouse]

⚠️ Mentions of rebirth and (pixelated) picture of The Seven Deadly Sins and the Four Last Things

Headmaster Crowley through the lens of a Painting:

I remember posting about how Yuu can possibly be twst mickey. After that an anonymous ask was sent saying how they also theorized Crowley being a prefect at one point (yet he didn't get the job done as intended so now he's pushing yuu to do it.)

Then it occurred to me how Crowley had both keys and mirrors on his person, and how there were seven keys and four mirrors, I pointed the numerical count on the answer for the ask then another art friend of mine suggested that, what if it was a reference (or a similarly patterned narrative) to the painting of "The Seven Deadly Sins and the Four Last Things"

(Seven keys Seven sins four mirrors four last things)

At first I didn't really consider it since the number seven is a prominently symbolic number in literature "seven sins seven virtues seven days of a week seven colors in a rainbow etc." And the four might’ve just been an artistic design but then, I started reading into the paintings' wiki.

The paintings' composition made sense four corners four things death hell heaven and judgement. It light bulbed how often mirros tend to ride on the "rebirth renewal and truth" theme so I started considering the 4 aspect being important.

Then, I read more and you all remember how Crowley is the headmaster and the overseer of the school?

And how in the beginning of the game there was a line about "For me, For them, For you. We are all running out of time. No matter what, never let go of my hand." Etc.

In the middle of the painting, inscribed in Latin it says:

"For they are a nation void of counsel, neither is there any understanding in them", above, and "O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!"

If the anon's take from that past post of mine was correct and Crowley was indeed supposed to have been the first "prefect" figure in rounding up the shackled seven of twst in this generation but failed then... what if that's why he keeps pushing Yuu to do the dirty work with the blot victims

Because they're "running out of time" since their "latter end" is near.

If my Yuu Mickey ramble was also correct, maybe the nation void of counsel is twisted wonderland itself with correlation to the Great Seven and their deeds/influence, "Neither is their understanding in them" may pertain to how the great seven are glorified when they're in reality villains of their myths. "O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!" Again, going back to the theory, what if they're aware of the generational repeat? What if they're aware that one day there will be another Mickey/Hero destined to overthrow the positive stasis of the current seven (now in the form of the Overblot Victims) and they're slowly succeeding but- something will inevitably happen along the way.

Regarding the mirrors and the whole death hell heaven judgement aspect, what if Crowley took yuu's hand through the mirror in the sense that they'll be the new mantle to bring fourth long due judegement over the twsted seven. In reference to my yuu is mickey theory where I asusme yuu has a duty of making things right where mickey originally went wrong.

Broke: Giovanni is Ash's father

Woke: Giovanni has mistakenly believed Ash was his hookup mistake for like a decade and is about to get the surprise of the century seeing that not only are they not related, but the employee he fired a few years ago for being too stupid is now living with him and being a more active father than he was

So while rewatching Avatar: The Last Airbender recently, I noticed a trend

A number of spirits we see have an animal form, specifically animals we recognize as "normal" for us. For example:

- Wan Shi Tong is an owl and his knowledge seekers are foxes

- Tui and La are koi fish

- Hei Bai is a panda

-The guardian of the mother of faces is a wolf (The Search)

Heck there's even the talking Baboon spirit and the monkey missing its face that we see in the Spirit World at the end of Season 1.

Basically every time we've seen a "normal" animal, they've been a spirit.

My point? I argue that Bosco is a spirit bear that's chilling and living the good life in the mortal world just because he can.

#that's my theory and I'm sticking to it #avatar the last airbender #avatar #atla #spirit world #atla headcanons #bosco the bear #bosco

So there's this Flat Earther who said he was traveling to the Ice Wall last September to prove the Earth was flat. He has not posted since.

Here are some theories on his current whereabouts:

He fell off

Too busy partying on the continent of Geminia to post anymore

He discovered a second, bigger ice wall

He died alone in the frigid wastes of Antarctica, aware at last of his folly as he slowly, painfully expired, his body never again to be seen by human eyes

Here be dragons (they ate him)

look, I know I've talked about this essay (?) before but like,

If you ever needed a good demonstration of the quote "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic", have I got an exercise for you.

Somebody made a small article explaining the basics of atomic theory but it's written in Anglish. Anglish is basically a made-up version of English where they remove any elements (words, prefixes, etc) that were originally borrowed from romance languages like french and latin, as well as greek and other foreign loanwords, keeping only those of germanic origin.

What happens is an english which is for the most part intelligible, but since a lot everyday english, and especially the scientific vocabulary, has has heavy latin and greek influence, they have to make up new words from the existing germanic-english vocabulary. For me it kind of reads super viking-ey.

Anyway when you read this article on atomic theory, in Anglish called Uncleftish Beholding, you get this text which kind of reads like a fantasy novel. Like in my mind it feels like it recontextualizes advanced scientific concepts to explain it to a viking audience from ancient times.

Even though you're familiar with the scientific ideas, because it bypasses the normal language we use for these concepts, you get a chance to examine these ideas as if you were a visitor from another civilization - and guess what, it does feel like it's about magic. It has a mythical quality to it, like it feels like a book about magic written during viking times. For me this has the same vibe as reading deep magic lore from a Robert Jordan book.
