So, i feel like Morella isn't getting nearly enough time spent talking about her, which is fair, because we really haven't seen much focus on her recently. HOWEVER. I did just realize that I am now able to share a theory that I've had. Warning: it's... a lot.
So first off, I want to address a theory that directly contradicts mine. This is, of course, the theory of "everyone in Nevermore died in America" theory. I want to clarify: I'm not directly shooting it down. I am, however, saying that it's only a theory, and as of yet has no way of knowing for sure if it's fact or fiction. Therefore, this theory will completely disregard that one.
Now, my theory specifically has to do with Morella's death. The first thing we managed to figure out about her was that she must have died sometime after the 1950s, seeing as that was when the lobster clasp, which is what she has, was invented.
However, she can't be too close to modern times, or she would question why everything is so old-fashioned. Also, her outfits don't exactly scream "21st century", so it's pretty safe to say she's from the 1900s. It's been estimated (thank you panda) that the approximate time frame should be late 1950s to early 1970s.
Now, her spectre. She has a benevolent spectre type, and describes her emotions when manifesting as "wanting to protect her friends, no matter what" (not an exact quote btw). It's pretty widely accepted that she died to save someone else. Also, I must point out: red hair? freckles? (ginger, ginger, Weasley, Weasley- nah I'm kidding lmao iykyk) and shepherd's pie? doesn't that kinda scream Irish? not to mention the resemblance of the pajamas:
I'm a massive riordan fan, and rereading Magnus Chase got me thinking: what if (like Mallory Keen) Morella died during bloody Friday?
Some background (yes I did research): Bloody Friday occured on July 21st, 1972, where bombs went off in Ireland, killing 9 people and injuring about 130 others. It was in response to Bloody Sunday, also known as the Bogside Massacre. As you can see, the dates fit the time frame perfectly.
Red and Flynn never actually confirmed where Morella was from. They once said in the discord that England was a possibility, but not to count it as canon. As of yet, we have no confirmation of where Morella is from, so it's perfectly possible for her to be Irish. Line up all the evidence, and you get this theory: Morella likely died either on Bloody Sunday or Bloody Friday. She's always had a strong instinct to protect her friends, even if it meant her death, which in this case, it would have.
I find this theory to be VERY interesting, especially because as far as I've seen, I was the first to mention it (at least in the discord, and I've never seen anyone make this connection on a webtoon comment.) If I'm right... I'll scream.
Obligatory thanks for making it to the end. DAMN was this was long. Maybe even longer than my crack dream... but that's a story for another time.
Say... Why do I have the nagging feeling I know who you are in the discord server....
Reading this had me stunned. I was sitting on this floor, making this exact face:
Am I that loud in the server? I'm being perceived, but this time it's like I'm being sniffed out by a hunting dog.
Here I thought I was being slick.
Anyways, you might know me! I will admit that my sense of humor carries over; then again, I share a sense of humor with a few other people, so who knows? You might be wrong. ;)
I'd give you a secret password, Anon, but it'd be shared with everyone on this blog, so, that'd be a little useless.
Message me, if you dare to play the "Who is Nevermore Confessions?" roulette. I think I'm pretty great.
Unless you're in the Patreon. Then, you for sure know who I am.
gosh the WHIPLASH i get seeing nevermore discord goers on tumblr. i feel like a very thinly disguised fae hiding among them. it is a delight though i also feel like a perfect spy
Posting this like a month late but here, spoilers for episode 83 of Nevermore
Disclaimer: this is all speculation, and nothing has been confirmed to be canon yet
I narrowed down the time period Pluto lived in to roughly 1923-1928 based on panels shown in episode 83, panels will be talked about in the order they're shown in the episode. Assuming Pluto's backstory plays out similar to the events in the Black Cat story, it's more than likely this is the year he had died as well.
To start, there's two distinct landmarks seen outside of Pluto's window which are the Blackpool Tower, and presumably the Blackpool Giant Wheel. The Blackpool Giant Wheel is what holds signifance in regards to the time period episode 83 takes place in. The wheel was closed in October of 1928, with demolition had started in November of the same year.
Meaning that this episode would have taken place at the latest, October of 1928.
The train ticket Pluto holds, beside it is a real life train ticket from the same line, the LM&SR. This railway was established in January of 1923, this also includes the specific line connecting between Blackpool and London. This would put the earliest Pluto had been alive in the beginning of 1923.
Even though the real life train ticket is from 1927, it shouldn't be taken as evidence of when the episode took place
The photo of the Eiffel Tower Pluto holds also resembles real life photos of the Eiffel tower from the 1920's.
Lastly Pluto is shown holding a box of Black Cat cigarettes. While this particular brand was around long before the 1920's, they were incredibly popular during this time up to the 1930's. This is also a nod to the story Pluto is based on, The Black Cat.
With that, the time period would be narrowed down to January 1923 at the earliest, and October 1928 at the latest.
This is based on how you talk and the fact you said you're a patreon user plus being active on both the discord server and here apparently, plus the title is a little pointed to the other nevermore confessions blog so I'm assuming you were around while that can of worms got opened so my main guesses are:
RunePhoenix or PedanticSeal (discord users)
Honorary guesses: DeBibble (discord user)
At first, I was going to stay quiet.
Surprisingly, Anon, you're wrong! Good guesses, though. I talk to them on and off, I consider myself discord acquaintances with them.
Now that I'm thinking about it, it'd be funny if I was PedanticSeal. I reblog their posts every now and then. Imagine if that was me just, reposting my own blog. That'd be some master marketing tactic.
(Hi, RunePhoenix, PedanticSeal and DeBibble. You might be reading this. Shoutout. If you want your names off, let me know!)
Hint: my hiatus has extended to the discord. Maybe I should start being more active. Huh. My bad, Anon!
Keep guessing! I think I'll call you SherlockAnon.
