#s6 speculation

[raayllum]

Spoiler puzzle for the 6x02 episode title - three words, each correlating to the picture. We also know the S6 episode titles tell a story of their own with "Startouched" being the title of 6x01.

Here are some potential avenues for each one!

First picture options: heart, light, together, reunion, reconciliation

Second picture options: war, battle, attack, divide

Third picture: mushroom, healing, a collection of mushrooms is also called a cluster or troop

Light Divides and Heals maybe? Love Wounds Healing? Hearts, Wars, Healing?

the good news is that we will be getting the actual title tomorrow

Unless You Ask Me To

buck/eddie | very minor eddie/omc | 263K | WIP | AO3

It’s not the first time a man has ever looked at Eddie a certain way. It’s not the first time a man has ever hit on him or asked him out. It happens every so often. Not a lot. Once every six months or so? If he had to put a number to it?

But maybe it’s the first time Eddie’s actually considered saying yes.

He’s in a much better place than he was a year ago, and he’s never actually dated that many people. He met Shannon when he was nineteen and high school relationships didn’t really count, and he was technically married until not quite four years ago. And there was only one huge, sad mistake since then.

So, Eddie could say yes.

He could go on a date with this beautiful, nice man. That is a thing he can do. And maybe it would be good. Maybe it would explain a lot of things he’s always wondered about but never put into practice.

~~~

Eddie dates a man for the first time, Buck is completely Fine(tm) and not at all having a breakdown, and the way to love and happiness is not easy but they find it anyway.

analyzing the new poster

So we can clearly tell that’s Claudia but look at the reflection is it Claudia with even whiter hair or is that new star touch elf? Also notice how she’s crying meaning she is gonna do some messy shit

Also notice that the image with the star touch elves and all of that is incorporated into the water (is it water??)

edit it’s aaravos in the water mb

soooo excited to find out what is going on in the world where buck isn’t a firefighter. what’s he doing instead? where’s the rest of the 118? do they know each other? how’s his relationship with maddie? with his parents? if he doesn’t know the firefam, will he meet them? questions over questions

#so so so excited #there’s so much potential and so much of it is so heartbreaking but so good #p #911 spoilers #s6 speculation

[self-spaghettification]

i’m not a claaravos shipper or anything but dialogue (she will be a valuable asset) + other things in the past and the way s6 is headed has got me wondering if aaravos will have a similar dynamic with claudia as he did with viren? like, welp the dad’s dead, time to move on to the daughter seems like fitting asshole behavior 😭 that or they will just be besties idk

just thinking about the fact that Terry will probably make Claudia a prosthetic, and knowing him he'll put flowers on it and make it all pretty for her

Okay but what if ryan is bulking up specifically for s6 reasons like eddie having to carry a particular someone who's 6'2 and built like a brick house ... just a thought

#i originally logged in to make a soft eddie post but my thoughts got derailed #anyways he's either gonna save or fuck buck im calling it rn #lincoln.txt #911 #s6 speculation

[bekkachaos]

Buck getting the news there's something wrong with his swimmers/family history right before this wildfire thing and is upset and goes and does something stupid dangerous to save someone because he's starting to think that's the only way he can actually help anyone and we end for the break with the long-awaited coma buck

I was also thinking "is Eddie looking at Chim? cause he kinda looks like he's giving heart eyes [at Buck]" 👀 I s2g if Chim is talking about Maddie and love and then Eddie looks at Buck in the background I will be eating drywall

like his sightline is NOT pointed at chim he is looking PAST CHIM at SOMETHING........or SOMEONE..........(it's Buck)

if i had to guess Buck said something stupid/silly or maybe zinged Chim (thus why he's shaking his head) and Eddie is just looking fondly indulgent at his best friend/love of his life. OR maybe Chim is complaining about something child-related and Eddie's first instinct is to look over at his coparent knowingly.......

#sibyl answers #those are some grade A heart eyes sir #s6 speculation

my fear is that the car will stop just in time and he won’t be injured lol

So I’ve been seeing pics & gifs of Eddie dressed up for Halloween a lot today and it got me wondering if we’re going to be getting a Halloween episode this year.

Since the episode right before Halloween is Henren Begins, I’m kinda doubtful they’d make that a holiday episode. But on the other hand, the episode happening right after Halloween is “Cursed”, which sounds like it has the potential to be kinda spooky.

Like I’m not gonna get my hopes up yet over an episode we know nothing about beyond the name & that it’s airing a week after Halloween. I very much still remember the disappointment surrounding Ghost Stories. But I think the possibility’s there, especially if this is going to be the more fun season that that KR’s hyping it up to be.

#seriously tho I would love a Halloween episode so much #just something spooky #maybe a bit light hearted #maybe a bit of Eddie & Buck dressing up to take Chris trick or treating #911 #tv: 911 #911 on fox #s6 speculation #season 6 speculation

Anyway time to talk about the 6x03 poem:

As many others have speculated judging by the map, Captain Skall made her way to Hook named after her, and then "as east she sailed into waters so deadly and cold" in the Frozen Shards, her ship eventually being stuck and meeting her doom there.

With that out of the way, I want to talk about other pieces of info, why this might be the poem for 6x03 specifically, and where I think Skall may fit timeline wise:

"From the isles without name" makes me think of the Independent Isles in between Evenere and Katolis.

"sailing north, she called herself free" makes me feel feral with Callum (and Rayla) doing the same in hopes of freeing Callum from Aaravos' grasp by destroying the prison

"Through forests and flowers, past the uneven towers" clearly symbolizes Katolis, indicating that Skall lived once most of the human kingdoms had been established, and thereby post-Exile/Exodus.

"Skall hungered for glory, she wanted a story / they’d tell it long after she died". Routinely we see a desire for glory / worthiness / power described as hunger ("Hungry for knowledge and power" / "But that small taste left some humans hungry—starved, even—for a better path. An easier path. And thus Elarion became the birthplace of a new form of magic, a shortcut to primal power: dark magic"). This also comes into seeking a legacy.

"So with winter wind’s blowing / she sailed north, forgoing / a man who’d have made her his bride". This is where we see the poem take a more negative slant in a few ways. The first is winter, wind, and north, setting up a future unfortunate turn of events. This is also the first mention of Skall having something else in her life other than adventure and something she had to subsequently abandon. While the end of the poem is much more on her side of feelings, "forgoing" does mean "renouncing; sacrificing or giving up" something that is more positive.

"Alone in the cold, yet ever so bold" again adds to the more negative feeling the poem is building, as boldness is in the contrast with "alone in the cold" that's overall negative and maintaining a bit more of an upkeep. Likewise, we see the return of the wind with an even more negative connotation in wailing in the following stanza: "And oh, winter wailed / as east she sailed / into waters so deadly and cold". We see the return of cold but also the change into things being 'deadly' (although there were still hints of danger earlier, as 'bold' indicates).

"Then came the ice, and trapped in its vise" The cold finally catches up to her, and we see ice return as a form of entrapment (2x06, 3x08, 3x09, 5x04, 5x06, 5x08). Most interestingly, "vise" is a tool with closable jaws for clamping things. Maybe the ice is magical, or the jaw of a great (the dragon we've seen in the trailer) creature?

"And while she found peace / she wished that, at least / she’d told him she loved him, always". While the poem ends on a somewhat bittersweet end (at death but at peace), we do see that Skall died with a final regret to the man she could've wed but left instead.

Or you could say, a last wish.

Either way, the poem paints a rather grim journey: going North didn't hold the same freedom and achievements that Skall hoped for, and instead led to entrapment, separation, and death.

That said: there's a few Rayllum-y things I think we can glean from this poem, for starters:

1) The episode will likely have a strong focus on Callum and Rayla sailing to and/or through the Frozen Sea on whatever ship they're planning to use to get there. This leaves 6x02 "Love, War, and Mushrooms" more open to either explore other plot lines or another pit stop in their journey (like say, the Silvergrove)

2) The poem itself has pretty clear Rayllum parallels, specifically in TDP's continual gender subversion of the women who puts other things above her romantic relationship, even if it's likewise seen as a sacrifice. Rayla left Callum in order to protect him/the world from Viren, even if that meant damaging their relationship, and Skall puts her desire for glory and adventure over presumably a more settled married life at home. (Excuse me while I scream over "forgoing a man who'd have made her his bride.")

3) The poem likewise has some parallels to Rayla's "Dear Callum" letter specifically. There are wishes expressed of the leaving party, a desire to have made feelings more plain that Callum reiterates in 5x04 when they think they're about to die ("I hope you know—" "I know"), and most notably, a parallel to the always mention:

she wished that, at least she’d told him she loved him, always.

But, if it does—if you feel that soft aching—know that that piece of your heart isn’t missing. It’s not missing at all, Callum: I’m carrying it with me! Always. I love you. I love you so much.

4) All this bodes quite well for 6x03 being an episode with a big Rayllum moment in it — perhaps even their Big "You Finally Came Back" Talk — especially since there's not much else to (presumably) happen on a ship if they're just travelling somewhere (and not being pursued this time).

Episode Speculation (a summary / misc thoughts)

Callum and Rayla travelling to the Frozen Sea

Big Talk happens

+ potential love confession / reaffirmation?

They reach the other end of the Frozen Sea

Maybe fight the big dragon from the video game teaser we see with Rayla (like Skall, she has literal hooks = blades) whose guarding or in their way to the Starscraper? Could account for the jaws and maybe the ice

One of them is worried and/or has a moment of thinking the other person is hurt/injured bc of said dragon fight?

Maybe some Aaravos backstory in his lost love (although like I said, I don't think it's Skall exactly — I still think the likeliest names are Elara-adjacent or Kalik)

Episode Title Speculation (in about this order):

The Frozen Sea

By River and Sea

Always (this would be my personal favourite and i would never stop screaming)

You know what is interesting?? Bobby may not having been looking in that moment he connected with Athena, but he was looking - both of them were, actually. Bobby had just made a dating profile and Athena ws having fun getting back out there.

Bobby had opened himself up to the idea of love again, and he was searching for something, it just wasn’t in the place he expected. It was with someone he already knew, who saw him in a vulnerable moment, a friend.

Athena had been there for years but neither of them were in that place yet: Bobby was just his grief and Athena was still married. It was only when they were both ready to find something new and different that they saw each other.

Interesting that Eddie has downloaded a dating app that he hasn’t used, just like Bobby never needed his dating profile.

Eddie is ready, he’s searching, but it’s not going to be in the place he expects.

If his love story is going to be anything like Bobby’s - which seems to be what they’re hinting at here - then it’s going to be a friend who sees him in a low moment and helps him through.

NOW I WONDER WHO THAT COULD BE?????
