Seems like my brain is just going to scream about Louis's visual film all day. Might as well share some observations. Sooo...ramblings below.
The fact that I was getting major antagonist/anti-hero vibes from Hwon's trailer and then this! The fact that he seems to be turning Ivan specifically, who has already been sus, is, I feel, a big hint.
The way his hand rests on Ivan's neck and turns his head, Ivan's dazed look (that most of the others also have), and that look Hwon gives the camera... His whole vibe/energy has been screaming dangerous.
My brain has also been super focused on Vixx lately so it's no surprise that when I saw this
I thought of this
(Vixx Fantasy)
Aside from Hwon's look, other 4th wall breaks go to Louis and Dann. Jahan also looks at the camera, but I feel like that was more than the camera happened to be in his line of sight? Because Louis, Hwon, and Dann all seem to purposefully look at the camera.
I also noticed that we get a mirror image of the group. It even looks as though the mirror image has some sort of frame around it, indicating it is a mirror. But we can see Louis which is fascinating considering he didn't have a reflection in the teaser image.
One of my last observations is some position changes. It's subtle and might not have been on purpose, but it's also very noticeable. I can't help but wonder what that means. Did Louis completely stop time? Or is it more that he stepped out of it/made himself move faster?
The last thing is actually something @seohopeful already mentioned. And that is the very modern book that Louis is reading when time freezes. It's such an odd choice considering how easy it should have been to pick up any old book prop. There are so many modern books that are made to look antique as well so I can't understand what the reasoning was here. Even my minimum research into the book leaves me confused.
I think that's all I've got for now. I really look forward to whatever gets revealed from here. I want all of my questions answered yesterday though. lol

“If a shooting star comes this way, I will protect you” 💫🌴🌊✨
I want to extend a huge thank you to the Soriku community. 🫶 It’s been 4 years since I joined the KH fandom, and y’all have brought me so many moments of laughter, joy, and happiness that I will treasure forever. KH has gotten me through some of the most difficult times in my life. So, I wanted to celebrate by finishing a piece that I sketched but never finished 4 years ago. They mean everything to me ☝️

The vast difference of how Sora gains Oathkeeper vs Oblivion is pretty telling of Riku's feelings towards Sora during KH1. The lucky charm given to Sora as a gift vs him finding Oblivion abandoned after Riku is lost to the darkness.
Nomura: Its (Oblivion's) development name was the "Riku Keyblade." In early stages we planned to have Riku give you a keychain, just like the lucky charm, which is why the keychain is a different colored version of Sora's necklace.

big shout out to @newtsnaturethings who does amazing nature studies and inadvertently helped me make stone look kinda like stone.
@manxden posted a nice summary of the battery theory. It is one of my favorite theories out there. The idea Ganondorf is the source of the power that saves Link, the hero meant to destroy him. Poetic cinema. I made a rambly post back in September that inspired this piece. You can read the full chaos here but in summary:
LONG AGO ganondorf is sealed and everyone thinks problem-solved but THEN they realize how much spirit/life energy he emits and the Royal Family orders the Sheikah to expand tech around it. What they don't anticipate is battery acid - malice. Monsters start appearing but they have the tech and just wipe them out without looking for the source. The more they use the spirit energy, the more malice is created in the sealing chamber. THIS is where get the events of 10,000 years ago. First Calamity Ganon appears...they go back to the old equation (goddess blood princess plus hero) WITH tech/Divine Beasts and beat back the Calamity. Again, this doesn't fix the problem. The Royal Family decides to banish "Sheikah" tech and like a nuclear plant meltdown, they just bury everything and hope that fixes it.
Because spirit energy is not being used during this time, Malice builds much slower. Takes 10,000 years for another Calamity to form but he's smarter this time because at his core he is a PERSON in stasis who remembers everything that was done to him.
BOTW happens.
The history of the royal family of Hyrule is also the history of Calamity Ganon
I love this line and hope it’s expanded upon in TotK.

I’VE FIGURED IT OUT
IT’S THE SAME HAND
This is the single illustration of the ancient Interlopers that we have pretty much at all. It’s from the Twilight Princess manga. The Interlopers, or the Dark Interlopers as they’re sometimes called, were powerful magic users who tried to take control of the Sacred Realm and were subsequently banished. Banished to the Twilight Realm.
The Interlopers became the Twili. And I think the Zonai were the Interlopers.
We don’t know much about the Zonai, but we do know two things: They were “strong magic wielders” (from the Zelda fandom wiki), and they disappeared. The stories match.
And honestly, what better way to subvert the theme of an endless cycle of light versus dark than to explore the people who discovered the in-between?
