#I feel like I’m grasping at straws

[the-crimson]

I am still so incredibly confused by the lore adventure we went on today.

Code Flippa lead bbh, Max, and Aypierre back into the maze to the one blocked off hallway to find it transformed with black concrete that lead to a cucurucho puzzle, Dapper’s hat, and Bbh’s plane ticket.

Parts of it looked Federation built while others certainly were not. Could this have been created/sponsored by the dark cucurucho?

Ok ok. We discovered the maze when an unknown entity delivered the coords to Tubbo, Slime, and Roier via black concrete. The maze is some kind of abandoned federation facility. It seems that light cucurucho can’t go in meanwhile dark cucurucho is living down there somehow. Then the “space ship” appears and all the eggs start leaving messages with black concrete as if their dimension was leaving traces on this world through the contact. Then code Flippa leads the gang into the maze to find it also corrupted. The message they received about protocol AB was glitchy and the books they found were distinctly not the cururuchos we are familiar with. The cucurucho puzzle’s answer was a cheerleader pin up of cucurucho that lead to black, red, and white dice, Bad’s plane ticket and Dapper’s top hat.

Ok. Theory time, I’m gonna grasp at straws and try to piece things together XD

The structure that appeared is a conduit between the dimensions. It allows the other world to affect this one easier. Where ever this world is is the origins of the code entities. Dark cucurucho is connected to this other world somehow kr has some influence there. We know the codes original goal was to make everyone leave the island. What if this other dimension is a prison/garbage disposal of the federation’s failed experiments?

Luzu’s computer was a link in the beginning that allowed first contact to be made and the first code to cross over. Luzu’s computer was eventually destroyed (by the federation?) and the code lost its form/began to decay (i don’t remember the timeline here). The federation claimed to have some kind of power over the codes and promised they wouldn’t be a problem during the election cycle which makes sense if they are failed experiments. They might have partial control, just enough to neuter them temporarily, as it took a while before the codes attacked again - and when they did they took a new approach.

The codes took the form of the eggs and attacked the presidential candidates. If they want to make the islanders leave/resist the federation so they don’t wind up as more failed experiments then it makes sense the codes would try to kill the candidates. They would want to stop the election from happening because that means the islanders will be even more trapped/less likely to leave.

After the election they turned their focus entirely into Etoiles and getting the code sword and shield. Maybe there is something within this dimension that is incredibly powerful - an old experiment that the federation created this dimension to imprison - that is trying to get out. While in the dimension, nothing can die as this dimension is entirely in code. That’s why the eggs are safe there, why they haven’t needed any tasks done, why their life cycle has paused - because they aren’t corporeal, they’ve been reduced to code and are thus untouchable. The binary entities have been in this dimension for so long they no longer remember what they used to look like.

However, have u noticed that once the codes got one sword, they’ve been able to duplicate them infinitely? Maybe that’s why they wanted the shield back from Etoiles. Within this other world, the codes can create more of those items. Maybe they were using Etoiles to train themselves so that when this powerful experiment breaks free they’ll be able to destroy it? Maybe they were training Etoiles so he’d be able to destroy it? Maybe they are duplicating the op sword and shield so the islanders will be able to kill it? Idk

I got a little side tracked so let’s get back to the maze. The codes have a vested interest in the players Lear ing about this entity if it’s going to break free. Whoever is on the other side brought Tubbo and crew to the maze (was it dark cucurucho?) Within the maze they discovered the transmission confirming that the federation knows why the eggs ran away. Dark cucurucho showed them the wheel and the egg items but we still have no clue what that was. Perhaps this is dark cucurucho’s job, to keep the federation’s mistakes forgotten and it is preparing the players for when the fed’s mistake breaks free via its influence in this other dimension.

Then today we have code Flippa bring us to a part of the maze I think was built/hijacked directly by dark cucurucho. It was a distinctly federation structure that had been renovated with darker colors and black concrete and the books were a scary kind of playful. The cururucho maze makes sense because the dark cucurucho is mocking light cucurucho. Maybe this dark cucurucho is tired of cleaning up after the federation or despises the other cucuruchos because it’s forced to live in the sewers cleaning up their shit.

It knows bbh, what he’s capable of, so it brought him here via code assistance to show him a piece of his past he doesn’t remember. It wants to tear down the federation just like the islanders so it is spreading all the federations dirty laundry for the islanders to see. First confirmation that the federation knows why the eggs left and now bbh’s past visit to the island he doesn’t remember. Maybe dark cucurucho is even aiding in bringing the fed’s monster back so it can destroy the fed itself.

I have no clue I feel like I’m still as confused as when I started writing this XD tell me ur thoughts and theories cuz I’m at a loss lol

#qsmp #crimson speaks #I feel like I’m grasping at straws #but this other dimension being a prison the fed created for a failed experiment they can’t control would be dope #and dark cucurucho being a sort of janitor of the Fed’s mistakes could also make sense #I definately 100% think dark curucuho is responsible for the adventure today #it wanted bbh to learn about his past visit #and has some influence over the codes/code flippa #idk idk idk #brain is mush #I order pizza now

How I’m gonna be numb but on the verge of breaking down crying at the same time? Like how the fuck does that work?

#I’m truly so fucking like empty?? idk but also my heart hurts? idk I’m not doing good RN lol #like the way at my big age….I’ve never known love or care or anything is truly pathetic #and how am I supposed to long for something or imagine something or manifest something THAT IVE NEVER FUCKING HAD OR FELT #I feel like I’m grasping at straws #like it makes me feel actually insane #like I’ve lost my marbles #because it just simply doesn’t feel attainable or possible or realistic at all #because I have ZERO POINT OF REFRENCE #anyway….. #maybe one day I’ll know but I really don’t think so 😭💀 #okay I’m done

I’m having a lot of feelings about it tonight so I just have to say as a Mexican person, it means so goddamn much to me that a Mexican man was cast to play as Luffy in the live action One Piece

And not only that but Taz Skylar being Spanish and playing my favorite character Sanji feels like the biggest treat in the world to me and there’s so many videos of Taz and Iñaki speaking in Spanish to each other and it feels so natural and wonderful and damn do I just love being Hispanic

Los amos a todos!!

#I’m terrible awful at articulating my feelings but I just feel like I’ve been grasping at straws for Latino rep my whole life and now!! #look!! two beloved characters that mean so goddamn much to me are speaking in Spanish and being themselves and it feels amazing!! #and also! happy Hispanic heritage month!! #one piece live action #one piece #opla #monkey d. luffy #vinsmoke sanji #taz skylar #iñaki godoy #mine

Not to be dramatic but since hiori is blasian in canon I need black x readers asap🗣️ like we are DEF not getting any cultural background on this kid (because they just slid it in there like we weren’t gonna recognize in the first place)not that we have any background on any of these children’s parents but I think he should explain how he feels being mixed in Japan because it’s just really funny having these two in the exact same anime, and they are both black 

This is ABSOLUTELY hilarious 😭

Edit: so I’ve noticed a pattern of EVERY character looking like their mother and barely sharing any resemblance to their fathers so ig he gets a pass for being pale BUT there’s even more melaninated characters so let’s give him some sun too!!🥺

Respectfully; come the fuck on

#blue lock #hiori yo #blue lock hiori #bllk hiori #hiori x reader #blue lock x reader #like I’m most likely gonna do some thing myself #but like the fact that I found out from Twitter #I am once again asking if it is a nod to like being white passing #like is he not supposed to look black because of that #he don’t look like his parents where did his dad come from? Did he immigrate to Japan? Is he Afro American ? Is he Nigerian? #like they’re doing so good on representation so far please. #IT HAS TO BE ON PURPOSE #BC LEO OR WHAYEVER HIS NAME IS IS THERE AND SHIDOU AND TYE OTHER BLACK GUY #I’m literally choosing to believe that it’s on purpose #I am reaching for Atoms I’m not grasping at straws!! #he says he feels like he doesn’t belong so does he mean displaced from two cultures or just one? #what about his extended family is he allowed to talk to them since they’re so suffocating? #I feel like this is a very real thing black kids relate to you can’t just give me him and not tell me shit about him. #if I catch up in the manga and I don’t get any more details I’m going to start chewing lava #Filling in the blanks on his backstory on God #does he just know English and Japanese? #He has a very specific dialect of speaking so is it from knowing a different type of language?? #aave mixed in??? #French is a very prevalent language in Africa. Does he know a little French? #CREOLE?? #like please sad backstory aside who the fuck is he!! #does he get to interact with any of the other black characters?? #HIM SHIDOU AND LOKI CAN HE BESTIES LIKE COME ON!! #im in so much pain I’m reading ahead of where I am

no because not to overanalyze but also why does buck set the lasagna down next to a beer bottle where the brand name is genuine showing that his feelings for eddie are real and his family he made with them is real and this dinner isn’t just a fake ken and barbie frozen waffles kind of deal but it’s a genuine i will cook for you forever and we will make memories in our kitchen until we’re old and gray kind of deal

#we’re one episode in and i feel like i’m already grasping at straws with the MOST insignificant thing but also 🤨 #911 spoilers #911 fox

[akkivee]

once again thinking about my ideal 3rd drb match up and how it’d stack up with plot beats and so far all i got is

🔴💥⚪️: true hypnosis mic opponents, maybe jakurai ends up on a side for further development to save yotsutsuji and that’s against ichiro’s current goal

🔵💥🟠: haven’t quite figured out why, but rei vs samatoki is the angle i’m thinking about

🟡💥🟣: all plot stakes division vs no stakes division lol idk really but i’m leaning towards a bonds angle or if hypmic wants to be real freaky, the side effects angle 🤔

#this is vee speaking #i still think a new format could happen but idk lol there’s so many unknowns rn #like what’s next specifically lmao #i personally feel it would be a waste not to have jakurai working to finalise development for this potential other true hypnosis mic lol #like they teased him joining chuuoku but then didn’t commit?????? huh?????? #what about his struggle with causing more harm vs saving that one?????? like come on now?? #so here’s me trying to put him back on that track lol #why not sasara vs samatoki you might ask lol and my answer is that’s the poster fight but the real fight is between rei and samatoki lol #samatoki was weirdly interested in rei watching bb vs dh and there’s a panel in showdown battle where samatoki looks…… #he’s very hard to read actually while listening to ichiro #samatoki and rei are paralleling in the block party as individuals moved by ichiro’s ideals #so while i’m not sure if ichiro would be the reason to fight (🎋hahahaha🎋) i think there’s potential for strife #*sighs at bat* why doesn’t kr want to do anything with y’all lmao #if they went the side effects angle it’d be cool to have ramuda the guy whose clones die using the true hypnosis mic #vs kuukou who might be suffering from side effects (and against the guy that caused them tho he’s forgiven ramuda lol) #jyushi’s hypnosis ability to ‘recover’ is genuinely interesting because what is he recovering???? and why haven’t we seen it yet????? #maybe they’re lying in wait lol (delusional) #bonds angle is me grasping at straws lol but here’s how i can get my ideal match ups—

ignoring everything else that went on these two episodes, i’d like to take a moment to address the meta-ness of the script. there were two moments that stood out to me in particular and made me think about the further plot of the show.

firstly, during the restaurant confrontation scene, when jiwoo says something like “and you’re still acting like the main character!” this was an intriguing point because of the fact that s1 of to my star was focused much more of seojoon than on jiwoo, at least when it comes to the plot and character development. upon hearing the plot of s2, i think most of us expected to see much more of jiwoo’s unfiltered thoughts, but so far we’ve honestly had very little of what’s actually going on in his brain. even scenes like the last scene of ep 6, the very much private conversation between jiwoo and sungyoon, are framed through seojoon’s pov. that, and the fact that we were not given a preview, makes me want to hope that there is a turning point in the latter half of the season, one where we focus much more on jiwoo.

the second moment that speaks for the turning point theory is the flashback where jiwoo is reading one of seojoon’s new scripts. in that, seojoon says something to the effect of “it’s much better now that the main characters are on good terms.” this is frankly more clear than the first moment. we as the audience are supposed to be feeling hurt and pain, i (want to) believe, and wanting things to get better, for seojoon’s sake at least. i would hope that this mention would indicate a further plot development that leads us onto greener pastures, finally ending in seojoon and jiwoo being on good terms, if nothing else!

#to my star #to my star 2 #i was really intrigued by the way the script developed this meta-like quality #maybe i’m grasping for straws but i just think they know that we’re suffering lmao and this is a hint that things will get better #anyway feel free to discuss! #rahul.txt

My brain isn’t functioning properly rn so this probably makes *zero* sense but I just need to type this out I feel like im going insane

I’m aware this post is just me incoherently rambling about Baylan, Shin and Ragnar but it’s in my head and I need it out of there so that I can sleep, it is currently 1am

—

Okay we all know Baylan and Shin are named after the wolves in Norse mythology that chase the sun and moon, Sköll and Hati, thats an established fact in the fandom. But let’s dive a little deeper into the legend

According to everything that I’ve read, Sköll and Hati chase the chariots of the sun and moon across the sky, and when they eventually catch the celestial bodies, that will trigger the Ragnarök, the end of times.

What’s getting me here is the name of the apocalypse that the wolves will start when they catch the sun and moon. The Ragnarök.

…Ragnar.

There’s a character named Ragnar in The Mandalorian. Ragnar Vizsla, Paz Vizsla’s adopted son, introduced in season three

I- as far as I can tell, everything Filoni does with characters means something. Every naming choice, line of dialogue, means something. But what does this mean- if anything

If I remember correctly too, Ahsoka takes place at the same time Mandalorian S3 is happening, so im sitting here thinking about the two characters named after the wolves that start the Ragnarök and the child with a name two letters away from being Ragnarök, all being introduced within the exact same time period

All three characters clearly have bigger roles to play in future seasons of their respective shows and the upcoming Mandoverse movie, but are those roles gonna be. Connected??

This is sending me down a spiral of incoherent Star Wars thoughts and I’m subjecting everyone else to it cause like- has anyone else thought of this, does this even make sense

I have so many more thoughts about this but I’m gonna shush and not say any more of them, not rn at least. Future post.

#I feel like im grasping at straws but like #This has gotta mean something??? #I’m not going insane right???? #I’ve headcanoned Force-sensitive Ragnar for a while but like damn is it actually…plausible #I need to go to bed #send help #Star wars #Baylan Skoll #Shin Hati #Ragnar Vizsla #the mandalorian #ahsoka series #Yardi rambles about Star Wars

8 months of testosterone will have you start saying shit like do my hands look more masculine

#THEY LOOK DIFFERENT I SWEAR #grasping for straws at this point bc I feel like I’ve had the first major changes #it’s like even tho I’m on gel they gave me such a high dose I had so much change so quick #like body hair voice drop etc….the first ones you look out for I feel. those started quicker than I expected #I think a lot of the noticeable changes now are the ones that take longer regardless??? idk #what I’m so grateful for is the face puffiness is gone OMG!!!!! #I had really bad water retention the first three months now I actually can look in the mirror #gotten used to the hunger and increased appetite #and in my experience more protein cravings #libido is the same as it was at the start too it just doesn’t feel as dire 👍 #like I don’t feel as if I need to jack off 3x a day or else I’ll die. who said that #exposing myself tmi style to be real and true to the testosterone users and wanters reading

going to be clearing up prom’s mains page / ships tomorrow. this isn’t to say I’m dropping any threads, but generally speaking, over the last 6 months or so, I’ve felt more of a hindrance poking to say ‘hello’ on discord or feel like the interest is still there. really not interested in collecting the whole gang this year on his page, I’m more interested in the people that make an effort with me. Out of character communication is vital, even if we don’t talk about our day — even if it’s character based ( some friendships are like that ) but when I’m being literally ignored there comes a point where you go, this ain’t it my dudes. so if you think you fall into the category of ‘oh shit, andrea is the one who always initiates conversation’ ( and no not just on a: damn my life is busy thing. Because yes, with some people they are just that damn busy, but at least I feel some level of engagement and joy when I do speak with those people. ) then the chances are, I’m looking at you buddy! So this is your chance to come at me now if you wanna keep things going!

Again, not a point of in character, take one day or one decade to reply, lord knows I do — but on some level I know I try to poke in every now and then, otherwise, man the mains page is just gonna be a lonely place where people feel discouraged to interact.

I will be making a few small updates to the rules also, but that’s a later andrea update!

#‘23 the year where I don’t make all the effort all the time and grasp at straws #sometimes it’s okay to just say ‘hey we’ve moved on’ #and ultimately I don’t wanna feel like I’m just slapped on someone’s page bc (: aesthetic or whatever #like c’mon let’s just be — Real for a second 😮‍💨

man i’ll be honest i still don’t know how i feel about whether or not they’re going to break up again but i really don’t think the frank sale is a sign of anything and it makes me a little sad that people are acting as if it Obviously Must Be :( being worried about it obviously makes sense but. he held onto it all through the first breakup, which makes me feel like getting rid of it does not....inherently have a tie to Another breakup. i am trying to be a little bit optimistic about the fact that if it was me, i’d certainly feel Better getting rid of sentimental stuff connected to the band if the band was no longer something definitively in the past i needed to be sentimental about

#‘he held onto it all through the first breakup!!’ just feels like an argument for the opposite of what people are using it for i guess #idk maybe i’m just overly grasping at straws #but i wish people were not acting like people reading this differently were crazy :( #and no i’m not just going to unfollow about it it’s mostly people i have followed for a long time and enjoy following
