I love when there's a Big Bad that feels all powerful and undefeatable but then we start to get to know the Big Bad and suddenly an even Bigger Badder entity enters the story and we realise that the first big bad was actually not that powerful and can barely hold their own against the bigger bad but that doesn't matter because it just serves to show how terrifying the new threat is

There is lots of qsmp lore current unknowns/loose ends, but tonight I ended up thinking about the things that aren’t
So! this is a list of qsmp resolved lore plot points, answers & things we have learned :D
More than one island exists
Quesadilla island is in point nemo
There are multiple factions present on quesadilla island - federation, rebellion, capybaras
The duck is the federation manager
There are multiple different cucuruchos - cucurucho, osito, ourson, oscurucho(?)
Elquackity and q!Quackity are different people
The nether is capable of exploring, and the federation goes there. but the portal technology is not stabilized (pluto’s gate, also what walter bob & the rebellion said)
Federation workers have a hierarchy of ranks and different specializations
The federation ran tests/experiments on the eggs and also people
The federation did lots of hybrid experiments
There is more unnamed eggs out there (egg A1, hope egg)
There is more named eggs out there (sunny, empanada, pepito)
The resistance/rebellion faction has been doing hidden operations on quesadilla island, the codes and masked guy who gave sofia’s blueprints are a part of it
Many workers of the federation are secretly a part of the rebellion too (like walter bob)
The rebellion was who helped q!Bagi and q!Cellbit recover their memories of being twins who lived on quesadilla island before
Codes can shapeshift into eggs
Codes are able to go rogue and develop individuality (codeflippa)
Code infection is a thing
There is at least two abnormal unaffiliated entities that exist- oscurucho and the eye guy
The eye guy took over “egg island” and renamed it to purgatory, using it to make the islanders suffer. you can take a train there and also sail on a boat
The wheel spins & dice rolls were all related to purgatory and the eggs
Little eye cyclops creature species exists on egg island
Shadow virus infection is a thing
The effects of the happy pills/risus potion and how to create the antidote
q!Dan, q!Spreen & q!Max are canonically dead
Spirits can return on día de los muertos
q!Bad is a demon and grim reaper
Ron did not get eaten, he lives on beautiful real estate with a cat
Soul infection is a thing
q!Baghera is a hybrid created by the federation
q!Fit was sent to quesadilla island from 2b2t on a mission
q!Wilbur when he’s gone performs with q!Lovejoy off the island to collect funds for the federation
Mr. Mustard was alive just invisible
q!Cellbit was the worker murderer
q!Cellbit and f!Cell are still the same person
q!Jaiden worked with the cucuruchos before
q!Slime can canonically shapeshift bc he’s slime
q!Pol worked with the federation to produce videos in the past
Cucurucho has a house
those are just all the ones off the top of my head, feel free to add what you remember too ^^

A lot of answers and confirmations this time in the broadcast:
- The island we’re currently on IS Quesadilla Island, they’ve just broken most of the black concrete. They have not solved the root of it at all yet
- The residents who haven’t woken up yet are officially canonically missing. No one is canonically confirmed dead or alive
- The coffee maker is fixed!!
- We already knew this but Cucurucho seems to have a lot of power and authority on the island. He’s able to dictate things like increase in security, rescue efforts and seems to know a decent amount about their mysterious research
- Speaking of which, we saw the Federation Laboratory and they’ve got their hands in a lot of different projects. Several specimen we haven’t seen before (I think) are in captivity there
- Luffy is alive and seems to know a decent amount about what’s going on with the Eye guy. I don’t think he’s feeling very generous towards his captors though
- The workers who were taken over by the eye have found Quesadilla Island and the secret facility, meaning the residents are still far from escaped
- Codeflippa and the other code entities were in possession of the Federation and have since then escaped, leaving behind the same corruption that infects Charlie and his home
- And finally, the return of Cucurevil, confirmed to related to Cucurucho- specifically brothers (If I had a nickel for each Quesadilla Island character from the Federation with a corrupt twin brother that has ties to this evil eye entity…)
That said, what was up with Cucurucho overhearing Pierre at the beginning of the broadcast? What’s the deal with Luffy and the other little guys? How exactly are Cucurevil and the Eye entity related?
Most importantly, now that the Eye Workers have reached Quesadilla Island, how long until the residents are faced once again with that threat of the continuation of purgatory?

i think one of the most interesting things about the mystery/secret investigation angle of qsmp, especially during the earlier days, was the way that admins acted far more like genuine threats and were treated more explicitly like they were part and parcel of the federation. people would avoid talking strategy on stream, with the knowledge that admins were probably watching and would know what tricks they would try out, paranoia (cellbit's in particular) was very justified-- there were people watching him inside the walls, and he knew it because they would taunt him and would reveal that they had been watching him attempt to covertly find out information.
and this is also prevalent in the tension of the reveal that cellbit had actually still be investigating for the federation-- he continues working for them with the intent to find out information and give them the run-around, not giving them anything he finds/altering his notes, but in the end it's tense and suspenseful because the federation could know full well what he's doing-- they're, in a way, omnipotent. they watch everything he does, they have eyes everywhere, and they have been watching him since he arrived. he knows this. even in his fear room, he eventually stops feeling safe having information out in the open, creates a secret room with a terminal where he can find all of his investigations.
the nature of this medium, and this server in particular, is that there is no way to hide things from the entity of the federation while still allowing the audience to know about them. the updates accounts on twitter are partly canon-- they explain the federation's knowledge of goings-ons and they provide clues for lore. the admins watch players' streams, gathering information for the updates but also for the federation to be aware of what the players are up to. not only is it a livestreamed medium, meaning nearly everything is on display for the viewers, but it includes the terror of being watched and knowing that there is no way to guarantee you're not seen at every single moment by the people who hold all of the cards.

Yesterday Mike added more fuel to my “Tubbo is bugged” theory and it’s making me extra worried about what’s going to happen this week LOL.
This post is rambly and long, so I’m sticking things behind a cut!
Mike’s memories of the last 3+ weeks are scrambled and foggy; an interrupted El Quackity treatment? Unclear. But between saying he doesn’t remember anything and then spouting off pro-Federation propaganda (something his anarchist ass would never willingly do!) and fiercely trying to pin blame to Fit as a traitor, a comment by him during one of the questioning sessions stood out to me.
When Fit asked who told him his janitor duties were fake/a front, that he couldn’t be trusted, he said Cucurucho.
We and FitMC know that the Feds are sus of Fit, but they’ve had no actual concrete evidence that he’s been misusing his position to obtain information. And yet now Cucurucho, supposedly, is informing Mike of this so called betrayal?
If we think back to the prison cleanup in August, there was a room that had a chess board map on the wall. Only two pieces were present: a queen and a pawn. And the pawn was positioned on a clear way to indicate it’s meant to represent Fit. A warning - possibly to Fit from the ghost entity in the Prison (or someone in a neighbouring pocket dimension, if recent ruminations and theories on the server have any legs) that aided Pac and Mike, OR the Federation itself, reminding him of who has the power and who is always watching.
But they have yet to take any action. And always praised his work when completed.
Enter: Tubbo. Who arrived on the Island as part of a group rescued from a mysterious location. One with lots of strange blocks, code-eggs, frozen floors and who himself was frozen away. Shortly after, Mike and Pac ventured back to that location to explore, and when he entered the tower, the floor vanished and Mike fell. Fell down into a pool of water at the bottom of a trap lined in black concrete, and then frozen.
During Mike’s absence, Tubbo has gotten to know the “morning crew”, has gotten up in everyone’s business. I’ve outlined some highlights in another post. But more recently, every time he talks to Fit about his cleaning job, he’s picked at it again and again. Freaks out over the badge and keycard - especially over the keycard. (This feels important, for more than just Tubbo’s excuses of it being bugged, but I can’t put my finger on why, yet.). Tubbo whines when Fit won’t give him direct insight, or tell him detailed specifics on what he’s found on the job. Fit has made it clear he will not jeopardise his position to satisfy Tubbo’s need to meta-game win over the system to know everything, resulting in accusations, and Tubbo commenting privately to his own chat that this makes Fit untrustworthy in his eyes. Tubbo has been careless with some of his questions. They’ve been asked topside, sideways comments uttered with side eye. He wants to KNOW what Fit is after.
And Fit did spill to Tubbo that he’s not just there for the obvious. Yes, He IS looking for something. Yeah, he IS trying to find things out about the Codes, the Eggs, and the Federation - he wants his beautiful baby boy (made in Heaven by God Himself) back home safe and sound.
But this has not been successful, never mind the long absence of any work in the last few weeks..and we the viewers know that things he has found have been incomplete, or need more time to cook before he goes to others with evidence. Fit is meticulous, his life on 2B2T trained this into him in order to survive. You don’t last 10 years in an anarchy wasteland without being prepared. Better and safer to leave things unsaid than having to walk them back later. And there’s no point in sharing what isn’t relevant to the matter at hand.
And now Mike - who Fit calls friend, who he bonded with, who he swore to help locate Walter Bob with - said Cucurucho told him that Fit was a traitor, and wasn’t looking for what he said he was, even point blank accused him of lying yesterday about what he’s looking for. And when pressed about what he’d found so far when on janitor duty, Fit had to admit that no, he hadn’t found anything related to the Eggs or the Code.
Mike seemed to take that as proof of his lying about what he’s doing. That what he was told was right. But admitting to a lack of success doesn’t make one a liar. And Fit telling him he found nothing is also a smart play - lose lips sink ships, and better to be thought incompetent. Especially if the Federation are now trying to flush you - and perhaps your ties to your employer, outside the island - out into the open.
The Federation did not know about Ramón’s furnaces until Tubbo did. And they didn’t know Fit was in it for more than the obvious until he spoke with Tubbo. They can’t get Tubbo to take on Fit, but they can use a different pawn they have on the board instead.
I may well be completely off base. And I’ll be delighted if I am. It’s been so much fun to theorise about the lore on QSMP! But mark my words, we need to pay much more attention over the next 48 hours. And who knows what everyone will come back to in a week’s time?

Do you guys ever think about the empty crib back during the adoption day? Because I’m ALWAYS thinking about it.
We all know that Quackity and his team are diligent, they think things through before they do it, they talk about it, and they have plans that they follow. Thanks to Dapper, we know that the original Spanish/English parent pairs were planned, they KNEW how many pairs there would be, they KNEW how many eggs they would need, they KNEW how many cribs would need to be filled, and they KNEW that BBH and Quackity would be single parents cuz their assigned partners were not present. But there was still an empty crib.
Now, it could be just that the admin for it was late, but were they really? I mean, all the eggs have admins, they could clearly see the empty crib, they would have messaged the person appointed or got another person to play the egg temporarily, but they didn’t. Why? I don’t know! 
So, in the end, one pair ended up having no egg. Foolish and Vegetta. Who then later got Leonarda after waiting for their egg to ‘get helicoptered over’.
And you know what’s interesting about Leonarda? It’s the fact that they are the one egg, other than Chayanne, who seems to have the most freedom to use their admin privelages. The amount of times they use creative mode to generate uncraftable items is insane and they use teleport a LOT for her parents. 
And if we get out of meta for a sec and look at her character, she has some kind of strong bond with Cucurucho from the very beginning. She LOVES Cucurucho and even calls it their best friend and she even said that she’s met up with him a couple of times when Foolish and Vegetta weren’t around. Then we have her friend ‘Darki’ who is supposedly the one who protects Foolish’s dragon build. ‘Darki’ who has been portrayed as some kind of dark entity with red eyes who can remove reinforced blocks and summon lightning from nothing. Then she starts getting nightmares about inescapable rooms, strangers talking to her in a language she couldn’t understand, and burning treehouses. And then said she “sometimes knew things without knowing”. And now she’s getting targeted by the Code that is supposedly anti-Federation??
Idk man. If that empty crib was deliberate and the last pair without an egg was bound to get the most suspicious egg out of all of them, then. Wow. Just. That would be so awesome. Like, actually so cool. It’s a really good concept. 
BUT! That’s just a theory. A QSMP theory! Thanks for reading-

minutes of the meeting a control fic
“Dr. Darling,” Trench murmurs, “appears distracted.” Darling thins his lips. He’s anything but distracted, now; his eyes had held Trench’s the whole time the Director had been speaking. “You forgot a point,” he responds, carefully, at the same volume. “Did I.” “11:15am: Director Trench lights a cigarette.” A pause. “He looks Dr. Darling in the eye as he does it.” Trench considers this. He hums--the sound rumbles in the back of his throat. “So you were paying attention.” “To all the wrong things, maybe.” -- a trench/darling fic about the path that had been laid out for trench, 23 years in the making.
i haven't even finished this game but those two old men are haunting me. there is something deeply wrong with the both of them and i think they can only see that through the eyes of the other.

I haven't watched purgatory streams cuz I am too busy rn, but here's some hcs
- Only emotionally charged scars stay on the body. Like both Phil and Fit have their scars because they felt so betrayed. The other wounds heal with respawn.
- Fit thought that Pac not only helped to kill him, but also agreed to be a bait to lure 2b2t veteran in a trap. After this "betrayal" Fit's eyes change.
- as a dumbahh who watched arcane, I really like the idea of eye changing with emotional stability. Like powder — blue/grey eyes, Jinx — pink eyes. So I have a HC that after the incident Fit's usually brown eyes change to almost toxic green eyes.
- Fit has severe PTSD about 2b2t. The betrayal triggered it and now he doesn't trust people.
- also Fit has 2b2t gravured in his prosthetic arm/gauntlet.
- every time étoiles kills someone, they have a star shaped scar.
- Phil has star shaped scar. Also the majority of his scars from nightmare and code fight. Also some from earth smp.
- Phil had a very speedy, flying oriented battle type. Now he has a different fighting skills, but likes to attack from above (using paraglider)
- Fit's battle skills are way more grounded, he puts way more force in his punches and swings. He also used to fight with only gauntlets/bare hands, so he's a master of hand-to-hand combat.
- Étoiles is just a goat, but he's something in between. He's also very grounded, but is jumpy.
- Roier is a funny but quiet kid, when it comes to battles. Nobody expects it, but he's a pro. He's super good at breaking through shields and at unarming opponent.
- Fit and Phil train together, and it's fun. But sometimes when crowza accidentally triggers PTSD, Fits fighting style suddenly changes. He now doesn't fight to better his skills, he fights to survive. His punches become more chaotic and heavy. They both apologize later.
- Jaiden is literally "I'm a helpless little girl. And j set the building on fire by accident, tooootaly by accident. Also I brought this dynamite. Goodbye:)" And then everything blows up. She's the epitome of "act weak when you're strong".
- Pol (i sadly haven't watched any of his streams cuz of language barrier, but I think he deserves more recognition) only pretends being oblivious and indifferent towards federation. Like he's the first person from all frozen members to remember his past and cooperate with cucurucho.
- I kinda feel like Rubius is one of the old residents of the island.
- Aypierre is Ayanami Rei (/j but I honestly don't understand his lore. I use Tumblr as a news channel and I still don't know what happened to Pierre. Is he ayrobot? Do they now share a body???)
- after the nether Forevers hair go to shoulders.
- Rubius once was just a man. He was an original old resident. After a few years of working with people on the server he was promoted to an angel/devil entity. For it was funny at first, but soon enough it became boring, cuz he wasn't allowed to interact with people apart giving them quests. So he disguised himself as a man and left the island. Later he came back on train with everyone. For escaping and messing with people, giving them illegal stuff ect he was demoted and "fell from heaven". (This HC has literally no reasons, but I like it.
- Carre likes to stretch like a cat.
- team bollas sleep close to each other, but don't go under blankets, cuz in their base there's literal lava above the celling.
- Fit is severely touch starved but he doesn't always trusts enough. During qsmp he became more affectionate, and started to initiate touching. He always puts his hand of someone's shoulder to comfort them (baby steps). I don't feel like after purgatory this stays like that.
- it's not my headcanon, but I adore when people draw Bagi muscular. Like, I dunno why. But I love it so much.
- Missa is a real skeleton, so when death duo reunited for the first time, Phil literally detached wet cat's skull from the neck, yelling "WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN"
- Some people have things that represent their close ones. Phil has skull, trinket (is it how it called?) of his kids on his back, flowers from forever, star keychain from étoiles and a bomb from Fit. Fit has Philza's feather, a necklace with a pacman on it, a bolt from Tubbo, and Ramon modifies his arm a lot. Ect ect.
- waaaay back when Slime went on a rampage after Juana's death, Fit called him to a tête-à-tête dialogue. At first he pushed Slime to the tree and put elbow on his neck, but during Charlie's monologue he let his guard down and even wanted to place his hand on the shoulder. Yet before that they were interrupted by Roier. (Also Charlie asking advice and trusting Fit all this time was quite sweet. Like, he even asked advice when dead eggs came back)
- during purgatory Phil balances himself with weapons.
- Charlie always suspected CodeFlippa wasn't the real one, but he deliberately chose to ignore that. Ignorance is a blessing.
- gladiator by Jann but Étoiles, you see what I see???
- Phil and Fit are terrible sleep bros. When they went to adventures with kids and had to sleep in the open, Fit couldn't sleep, listening to players steps, and Phil tried to figure out mobs. Also they play footsie (they said it on one stream, this is cannon. I really dunno are they besties or homos anymore)
- one of the ways to know if an avian on the server is sick is to see how their feathers react to water. If I'm correct, irl birds have a special stuff on them to not get wet. Only birds with sickness appear to be wet (mb not all birds are like that, I don't remember)
- just "are we still sisters?" Dialogue from arcane but Bagi and Cellbit
- everyone has bags under the eyes
That's all for now.

There's something weird i'd like to point out. It's amazing that the 7 EGGs are safe and sound, some of them now recovering, and that we have brand new three eggs... But where the heck is the Eggstatistics? They should've been back now, right? Maybe they are waiting for new pixelart and stuff, or waiting for the admins' deserved break to be over. Or, maybe, something sketchy is up. And so, this post will be assuming that. You haven't forgotten that there has been some sketchy stuff happening with the eggs, that we don't yet have answers for, right? And a lot of them. Some of them are: 1- We don't know who made them dirty/broken. Some say the federation, but we are not sure. 2- The reason Chayanne commanded the others to flee away. It seems to be connected to some sort of creature/entity Talullah awaked/enraged, maybe the dark figure in some of the eggs dreams? (this also probably connects to point 1) 3- The three new EGGs' origin is still unknown. We only know they were on Egg Island, hidden on a cave. This, is simply strange. How can new EGGs just pop in? Something is definitely strange about either: The new EGGs' origin The old EGGs' origin The New EGGs seem to be ommiting the fact they came in on boat, somehow knew about the explosion and hid, and none knows about the name "Egg Island". Maybe its only that they don't know if they can talk about it in /rp, or, this is actually on purpose. They, as well, don't seem to be a monitored Fed experiment, as they took Cucurucho by surprise. Maybe they were made by the Eye/The Watcher, as a "evil" counterparts of the old EGGs? Maybe they're old experiments that escaped/were considered failures by/are malfuctioning bc of the Feds, just like the EGG "Hope"? Or is the Island just a natural home for EGGs? If the last possibility is right, then the Old EGGs could have been kidnapped from Egg Island and experimented upon, or they are clones of an EGG from Egg Island, and so not being completely artificially created by the Feds.
4- The three new eggs, alongside Dapper, were given strange rules, seemingly by the Admins: No Armor and No Totems. They seem to be planning a change, one related with the EGGs... something with the EGGs Tasks/functionability? To less tasks? Because with no armor and totems, they become much more very vulnerable, and, it was confirmed by one of the new EGGs that they could still die. It kinda matches with the nerf on the mobs, but not at all with the strength of the code monsters. Maybe, its a way to be able to kill them, bc the n.i.n.h.o. made it basically impossible. Or, perhaps, it's for the growth much have been waiting for, atleast for the old EGGs. 5- The old EGGs are resting since they didn't have a day of peace unlike Dapper, who slept for four days straight, from november 18 (the end of purgatory) until november 22 (when he reappeared). If they only need four days of sleep to recover, in that logic, the other EGGs should wake up at november 25, on a saturday. But. Can we really trust the Federation with their sleep? How can we make sure the thing the EGGs were fleeing from won't hunt them in their lowest...?
Thus, to the reason why we don't have the Eggstatistics there are four possibilities: -They are waiting for the other EGGs to wake up because they are going to wake up different. Maybe grown, or maybe with some weird condition, like being captured again by the entity that hurt them. -Something strange is gonna happen/is going on with the new EGGs, and so they will have a different hud or a different status post just for them. -The EGGs tasks or lives, which are, the EGGs mechanics, are going to change drastically. -Or, all of the above. Its possible. TL;DR: They are making drama because something is going to change with the EGGs mechanically or in lore. I'm here for any thoughts about this :D

So, Cucuruchos.
There are so many of them that it is hard to differentiate each one. So let's make this straight:
CUCURUCHO is missing. My guess that he's been missing since before purgatory.
OSITO BIMBO took over for him and is even doing live streams. But is also doing his own investigations since the Fed doesn't let him know anything. Like, he didn't even knew the islanders went missing in that first live.
EVILRUCHO/■■■■■ invaded the Island after scaping the Feds and went on and killed Quackity.
He is now in hell torturing Quackity. It had a scene where is looked like he was impersonating Tilín, or maybe it is Tilin. But we know little to nothing about them. People also call them Oscurucho wich is a dope name.
And the very very new ones:
Portuguese speaking Cucurucho (that we know from some Bagi shenanigans that it's the same admin of Xaninho)
Portuguese Cucas was the one waking up the eggs (he left the voice box in Portuguese lol. Or maybe is was on purpose). Also, through Foolish's pov and the livestreams we know the feds have an entity called "The Doctor", and this cucurucho has been seen with a mask many times. Also, Alexandre's item is a mask, maybe a hint. So yeah. The Doctor.
French Cucurucho. The different looking cucurucho, with a different paw and pink nose. I've seen people call them Pinky. It is the one that appeared for Antoine. And the second and last time we saw Pinky (french cucurucho) was when they were giving away minime eggs after the A0 event.
Update: some lovely soul just told in the comments that the french fans are calling them Ourson
So there we have it, all the " :) " entities:
Cucurucho
Osito Bimbo
■■■■■/Oscurucho
The Doctor
Ourson
P.s. do we count cucuruchito as one? Kkkkk
UPDATE: I saw a screenshot of Etoiles' live, where it showed a poster on a lab of the Federation, where they were keeping the captured code. It was talking about the dangers of the code infection and what to do and how to approach the entity blablaa And at the very end of it there was a photo of the face of a cucurucho with the text "Stay safe", or something like that.
Expect the cucurucho face had a mean scar across their right eye. And, it could be the weird angle of the shot, but their nose looked a little more on the brown side.
So.
We just might have a sixth one on the mix, boys! Hooray! God have mercy on my soul..

Code, Eggs, Eyes, and Arin
What is the most important thing to residents on the island? The Eggs. Their children. The easiest thing to hold over a parent/caregivers head is to manipulate them. 
Luffy escaped Egg Island, he isnt supposed to be on Quesadilla. The Eye workers tried to capture him from the Federation but failed. The next time they tracked Luffy he was with Phil and when Phil refused to hand over Luffy the fight broke out and ended in a threat, using his child as leverage.
Tumblr media
 Later the Fed re-confiscates Luffy, leaving him nowhere to be found when the Eyes return to collect. Talking is no longer an option and attacks will ensue at random, attacking what the residents care about, until they get what they want: the entity that doesnt belong on this island. 
I used to think the Codes were attacking the Eggs to get rid one the only thing keeping residents tied to the island. To get them to leave. A book was even dropped with “Leave” written in binary not long before a Code showed up to attack. 
I dont think this was a threat anymore. This was a warning, a heads-up, from someone else. From Arin.
Tumblr media
From the start we know Arin is a target of the Codes. What I couldnt figure out is why after attacking him, they switched to attacking the eggs. Because, if Codes were attacking the eggs because they are what the residents care about, how could Arin/Luzu fit into that methodology? It doesnt. 
But it does fit with the methodology of the Eye Workers. 
On Day 24 Luzu learns about Tilins death, overwhelemed with this information, Arin takes over. Shortly after there is a Code attack targetting Arin. 
Tumblr media
Foolish, BBH, and Dapper take Arin back to Luzus house, when he explains the computer that is more or less where his mind goes when not using Luzus body.

Luzu being so taken over by the death of his child to the point  that Arin needed to take over, it the evidence for the Codes of how important these egg things are to residents. 
Arin leaves for that day and Dapper is attacked while with BBH. Why not attack Foolish? He was there with Arin too? Because BBH was with Dapper. Seeking to find Arin again, go to the one who is with their prized possession and threaten it because what the Code seeks, Arin, is not around anymore. 
And from that point on, the Codes attacked over and over and over for months. Two eggs were attacked more than others during this time. Dapper and Leo. The eggs whose parents were last seen with Arin. 
The attack on Day 45:
While a bunch of residents and their eggs were gathered at Luzu’s to theorize about Arin, the famous book drops. Right in front of Arin’s computer.  
Tumblr media
It was assumed this came from the Codes, because it was written in binary. But Arin also speaks in Binary, he speaks in many languages. 
Luzu did not wake up on this day, and without Luzus body, Arin couldnt be there physically to warn about the attack about to happen. I think “Leave” was dropped by Arin. 
Tumblr media
There’s still a loose end in this right, Philza. Why did the code first show up to Phil on Day 15 at that airship, and why did it give him a book with the coordinates to Arins computer?
The airship is a trigger point, something very connected to Codes. The mega Airships appear associated with Codes more than once.
Phil spent a lot of time with Luzu on Day 1 and perhaps thought they had a close relationship. 
I'm really not sure about the Phil thing yet.

I’m so curious about that little beast the Federation is interested in, Cucurucho giving q!Bad missions to study it…. it’s like a puppy but has no eyes like some kind of shadow entity
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
it likes to eat meat, it can supernaturally summon rain like the codes but can also inflict blindness. kinda skittish too? looking forward to tomorrow’s mission I wanna know more :0

In this ship I only know two things (and one is you)
Alternative title: A typical meeting with the space headquarters, me and my platonic-alien husband
This au is not mine, it is from: @rainbowchaox (In the original post said tag to give credit. So I hope you don't mind for tagging u!)
Fair warning; this is long, sorry for any mistakes this is not my first language
(...)
The computer made a soft noise when it turned on, there were about 20 minutes left before the meeting where multiple terrestrial researchers would update about the findings of the planets in one same sector.
These meetings were annual and generally occupied one field researcher per planet.
This year Missa was one of these, but not the only one.
That helped relax the pressure on his shoulders. Running a hand delicately through his hair Missa was aware of two things.
One; He hadn't cut his hair since the last time he slept in the habitable building.
And two; His left arm was still not fully healed since his last exploration accident.
It had been a simple thing, his boat had collided with a submerged mineral formation which caused him to hit the railing and fall into the water. Fortunately, certain leaves cut from the planet had quite appropriate properties to close some minimal capillaries through stimulating them.
Kissing it better also worked (Missa was joking, he swears he did)
The urgent coos sounded worried to which Missa said he only choked a little, almost nothing, but I didn't seem to calm Phil down much. Now under his lab coat was the makeshift bandage surrounding his left bicep.
Missa's eyes lingered on one of the computer's loading screens, two dots for eyes, one for nose, a taut line creating a happy face. It was the logo of the Galactic Federation, a regulatory entity that, in the midst of so many companies that sought to register the outer galaxies, sought to delimit what they could and could not do.
His company (Quesadilla Space Research Center) was not an exception, so he knew they would have at least one Federation agent.
Missa was not afraid of speaking in public, but the idea of facing a federal agent struck him because they had a terrible reputation due to accusations of being “a tyrannical force.”
He waited a few minutes, settling uncomfortably in his chair, which had been too long since they had sat in it, when the opposite camera turned on and the red light on his holographic screen appeared.
For the first time in 10 Earthling months, another voice that was not prerecorded or the mellifluous tone of Missa, did resonated particularly loudly in the compact building.
-“Hello Misaaa how are you??”
-“Quackity? Que?!"
-“Hello researcher Sinfonia”
ElQ says just after his brother's effusive entrance and Missa quickly passed his eyes between the two identical faces that greeted him on the screen.
The twins had basically grown up in the Quesadilla facility. Quackity was one of Missa's mission supervisors while ElQ worked as an administrator for the department where Missa worked.
In simpler words he was in front of two of his bosses right now and he was stunned to see them, which led Quackity to a fit of laughter.
-“What are you laughing at, pendejo?!” Missa shouted
-“Your face- your face looks like one of those fucking catfish from planet M213 like that”
The most talkative twin, proceeded to do an imitation with his mouth as open as possible and Missa saw his opportunity.
-“This is how your face looks like whe you see Luzu!”
The comment earned a chuckle from ElQ so Missa considered it a victory regardless of how Quackity made a comically offended gasp before launching into insults.
-“Researcher Sinfonia”
Like someone interrupting two children fighting, Missa quickly moved away from the monitor because when the screams started he had leaned over the writing panel for more impact.
-"Yes sir?"
-“I assume you know why contact was initiated from the crew on Earth before the update meeting, right?”
-“…wasn't it because you guys missed me rigth?”
-"What?"
-"El para que cosa de que?"
-“... Ok. I guess you don't know, as this will be your first meeting at this level, we thought it would be appropriate to give you some warnings regarding the meeting participants."
Missa never considered himself the smartest of the investigaion crew at all, but he wasn't stupid (he was a research scientist for God's sake) he knew what they meant.
-"The Quesadilla station" ElQ proceeded. "Is an Earth station, which is well know, but it also has agreements, living assets and work centers even outside the Milky Way that need to be regulated and monitored by an external entity that avoids conflicts of interest".
Quackity interrupted his brother's speech like someone who already knows it too well
-"In short, there will be outgoing beings of other species in the same position as you and there will be person, a federal, supervising the meeting."
He soured a little at the name and ElQ tensed as if he were punched by that name.
-“But the most important”
-“You must obey Cucurucho” / “Be careful with Cucurucho”
The twins looked at each other in surprise, again in perfect coordination. It was always intimidating to see the twins talking or moving at the same time, a feeling of inherent discomfort.
And speaking of discomfort and intimidation, when the meeting had finally started Missa realized that his chair was stinging his back, but it was too late to stop as the supervisor sent by the Federation seemed to pin him to his chair with just their blank stare lacking off all emotion.
The Quackitys stood one on each side and stared absently at the camera as if they weren't happy to give up their seat to… whatever the feds were.
If Missa were more paranoid he would think that the subject with features of both humanoid and bear looked like a dictator of the kind that space had not seen since wilder times. But that was exaggerated.
No?
As it were, the default screen was the one that connected with the crew at home and it changed whoever was presenting their findings in the habitable areas of the sector to be explored.
Planets and moons above all, but of course Etoiles, a kind of organic being similar to a pickle, had to explore near a possible black hole.
The photos were hilarious because he could be seen in the full suit making the human peace sign.
That made him laugh the most (internally, of course he did not dare to laugh out loud with the presence of the federal officer there). One by one the researchers went by to present their findings and Missa noticed that the majority were indeed human with some hybridized.
Until finally it was the turn of the planet Vita Vitaris, which was more or less 150,000,000 km away from the nearest sun, but it was known for sure that those distance was more between this and other planets. A a lonely planet.
When Missa began to speak, he immediately realized that he was doing well, he soon shared the screen and turned off his microphone, letting the computer read the results (which took a huge weight off his shoulders because he now knew without a doubt that the transmission to earth would only see his results and not him)
Missa, taking advantage of the data count made by the robotic voice, let out a deep yawn, he couldn't sleep in a seat as uncomfortable as that, but he was so tired, and he should check the bruise, and his brain which was still excited by the new information also had too much to process.
The cloud of sleep above him suddenly vanished as he heard a weird noise.
It sounded like a sharp thump, something falling, but nothing should fall because everything was controlled by machines, human error hardly existed. Missa's eyes were fixed in the darkness searching and regretting for not requesting to turn on the lights as it got dark, Missa shifted uncomfortably, suddenly he felt observed, he gave a sideways glance at the holographic camera but but was still off, his body keep itching and the robotic voice continued citing possible PH compatible with some form that now he could not care less about.
Like a prey about to be hunted by a predator, the muscles under his lab coat prepare to run, his conscious brain sought to give himself security despite just tripping over himself; There is no way that something could have gotten in, it was impossible for something to cross the defenses of the compact laboratory without activating an alarm so, logically, it was an i-internal failure No, no, there is not a damm way for the station to fail because if it did… he was dead, his entire livelihood was there and clearly the only way to get home was that, believing that the station had failed was as improbable as the idea that something had entered.
And both ideas were catastrophic.
Missa's less rational brain was already in the catastrophes that awaited him, an unknown evil making its way through the darkness to finish him off, angry at having a stranger in his ecosystem would launch itself and he would be finished, eventually (in a hundred of years) nature would reclaim the mobile station, swallowing every trace left behind of its existence..
The voice continued in the background but Missa had already partially stopped listening, with his gaze fixed on the darkness he realized that perhaps he did not want to be the end of his bloodline so he slowly directed his hand to his weapon. According to the regulations it did little more than stun small fauna in case they were too violent to take the samples normally.
He was dimly aware that he wouldn't be heard or seen until the results were finished being dictated, the plan was; sudden movement = electrocute, buy time and ask for help.
He swore he heard something low and shallow under the synthetic voice and his grip on the shock weapon tightened.
Slowly, very slowly in the darkness a small figure with… stripes?appeared.
Missa let out a sharp sigh
“P…Philza!” The sapient Vitaris's face lit up at the pure relief that could be heard in his human's voice and he made a trill in greeting.
Missa's shoulders basically slumped, his heart still pounding but it would only take a moment to calm down now that he knew Phil was there and, wait, why was he there?
-"Philza…? How did you get in querido?"
Missa looked back at the holpographic screen, already showing more than half of his arduous findings, all transmitted with a voice so dead and robotic that he was almost disappointing to see his effort transmitted like this.
Buzzing Philza pointed to where the glass tunnel that connected both buildings was, but that didn't make sense, the glass is unbreakable and if it had broken the alarms would have go on.
-"But… like inside the building?" Missa turned his head like a confused dog and Philza found that adorable.
Buzzing even louder Philza approached to his seat, which was like a kind of semicircle embedded on the floor in front of the holographic monitor and Missa finally saw Philza, the Vitaris hermit who had saved him countless times on that remote planet, the most fascinating being to study and greatest source of happiness in the jungle that were for planet was wrapped in Missa´s favorite blanket with his straw hair disheveled and his semi-drooping antennae had an appearance that made Missa melt.
How could someone in a blanket look so good? he still moved as only a predator with years of hunting behind him could do, the fine lines in the corners of his eyes revealed his good character despite everything and his eyes; they trapped him like a black hole to an unfortunate ship.
Crossing over the back of the seat he crouched next to Missa's seated body. His urgent eyes went to his left arm as if he wanted to ask something.
-"What's the matter? Are you worry Phil?"
Philza made a soft trill and in one quick movement covered Missa's body with the same blanket that he uses
Wrapped in an unexpected hug, Missa's hands moved instinctively to cup Phil's back, careful not to touch his wings. A while ago he would have been afraid to put his hands on other people, but after several months of investigation and bonding time the research scientist had concluded that the Wise Vitaris was a little touch-starved.
And after almost 10 months away from all types of non-virtual interaction he could also want some attention. Months of time together had brought them closer than Missa had ever allowed himself to be brought closer to others. Was it because there was no one else around? Or perhaps the strongest bond they had was one too strong that crossed planets?
With Phil practically purring through his wings Missa decided that for now the answer didn't matter, he knew that Phil was very bothered by contact with his antennae but part of his body was more insensitive so he lowered his hands to Phils hips and maneuvered Philza in a more comfortable position than squatting next to him.
The blonde-haired Vitaris made a series of clicks that sounded satisfied at Missa's initiative, quickly settling his head under the human's chin and his hands gripping his human shoulders in a lazy touch, his throat vibrating with happy gurgles. Missa felt… he didn't know how he felt, he literally put a being from another planet in his lap while he discussed a meeting with other researchers light years away from his planet Earth.
He would laugh under other circumstances but the lump in his throat felt dry and heavy, like one of those roots near Phil's tree hut that maybe he shouldn't have eaten.
Uncanny was a word to describe how he felt when Philza raised his head and his eyes slowly closed like cats would around Missa (only if, you know, if the cats blinked horizontally and not vertically)
Missa's breath escaped from his throat..
Bathed in blue light from the hologram the black haired man realized how much Philza didn't belong there, he belonged where everything was much bigger than him and bigger than Missa. He was surrounded by that huge garden that was his own world while Missa was surrounded by some artificial light, he also noticed how it was reflected in Philza's irregular eyes and suddenly he was slapped with two things at once.
One; Philza didn't belong with him, he was such a small thing compared to Philza and Philza didn't deserve to carry Misssas feelings when they couldn't belong together.
And Two; Philza looked beautiful, out of place, yes, but always welcome in Missa's arms, Missa's cheeks warmed by a wave of affection that made him want to kiss this alien-bug-man so bad that makes Missa looks stupid.
Philza made a high-pitched trill that caught his attention, directing his gaze to some photos of the planet's fauna. He had several photos of Philza himself but did not include them in the presentation, saving them on a separate USB memory.
It felt too… intimate for him to tell them about Philza, and regular reports with the crew on Earth confirmed that as a researcher he had established communication with the dominant species of the planet Vita, just not to what extent yet.
Missa recognizes those photos as the ones at the end of his presentation, the most recent data is read by the computer as background noise and Phil looks particularly less impressed than the other times he's been in there.
A deep sigh that he didn't know was holding came out softly from him, more pathetic than he thought as he realized how Philza did burst into the station.
(…)
He didn't, Missa let him in after his accident, they were closer to his station than Phils treehouse and even though he didn't like to leave his terrotory for too long, Phil's instincts were closed at the mere thought of his mate taking care for his own wound all alone.
It had hurt his pride that the human he was courting had gotten hurt with him present so he had managed to get the human to share not only his hiding place but to make a space for him and his eggs in his very own nest. Which in no way struck Philza's brain with the idea of how the human corresponded to his advances, nope, not at all.
Well…
maybe a little
That was a good sign! how close he was to being able to have the human as his partner, his efforts to prove to the black-haired man that he was the best option were giving results if he was easily accepted into his nest.
But you can imagine his surprise when he woke up in a half-made nest with his babies without his partner to court, the smell of the human was overwhelming and the space was limited. If it were up to him he would make a bigger nest that covered the entire room a nest worthy of his humand and children. A deep, disapproving vibration left his throat; He could do a better one and he will once they return to his territory.
He allowed himself to judge the materials of the human kind of nest, quickly coming to the conclusion that they were not good enough for his Missa, almost enough to sleep in but it did not allow him to snuggle or cuddle comfortably with his wings, much less with his flock, needed more space, fresher materials, safer structures, needed!-
His antennas moved suddenly, something boiling beneath his surface led him to stretch out on the small bed in the room, searching for his mate. He wasn't there, but the best next thing was his blanket, which smelled deeply like him. It was probably the softest of the few that Missa had laid out in case they wanted to rest (he put all the ones he had) its smell was overwhelming and almost calmed the serious discomfort caused by the idea of Missa sleeping in such an inappropriate nest. Overwhelmed by his delicious smell, he felt his brain become comfortably cloudy. He could keep that, just a little longer.
When he woke up again the blanket was no longer enough, call him greedy but he wanted more (that doesn't mean he was going to discard the blanket yet, had their smells mixed in) that's how he easily wandered around the room, the habitable building (which was not very big) seeing his husband's mark printed everywhere, he had good taste, he would not let him build the nest (because that was his duty when courting him) but perhaps he could help choose some materials.
"Violet. Tallulah likes purple. Decorate me violet, Use Liliacs? mate would like it. He likes purple, Lilac, Violet"
He rambled as he quickly passed the tunnel that connects the two buildings, habitable building to the laboratory. He had already been in the laboratory building, it was not his favorite place but missa was there so best building between the two.
Phil rushed to meet him, the audacity of this man! leave him alone in an empty nest where his children should be protected by them, Philza was ready to drag him if necessary, his wings vibrating behind him and accidentally hit something that he overlooked in the darkness, he stopped with the impact, noticing the fear in the human´s eyes so Phil did approached more slowly, as he would do with an injured animal that he wants to keep, a good decision because now he is comfortably on his lap, Philza would scold him later
His face illuminated by the blue light looked adorable but he had a frown ruining his expression
He vibrated, curious to find out what he disliked
(…)
Missa was caught by surprise when he felt Philza's warm breath on his neck, almost making him jump out of his seat. He could feel Phil´s throat vibrating in conjunction with his wings. He wondered if it had been a good idea to put the blue-eyed Vita on his lap afterwards.
It could be that he was going to open his mouth at any moment to eat him(and Missa found that he wasn't all that against that idea, after all there were worse ways to go, I mean-)
He realized that everything felt very quiet then, except for the wings vibrating and their the soft breathing all was silence for a second, before the Federal's voice broke the silence.
The holographic screen had gone from the results of his operations, to traversing what were months of work in what felt like seconds to give way again to the headquarters at home.
Cucurucho look weirder than usual, still expressionless as a corpse, but had their brooding air gotten worse?? like something wasn't in place, to make matters worse he actually seemed to be able to see Missa in the eyes, through his eyes, into his brain, and through his brain into him, he tensed and swore that Phil's buzz grew louder, suddenly the fed seemed to focus only in him and suddenly he move-
"...Hahaha"
No mames-
"Researcher 564, your holographic camera and microphone are still off" Reported the cold, robotic voice that sounded frighteningly similar to the canned voice of his computer.
Missa was startled by his voice, his hand automatically moving to carry out the order when suddenly a growl interrupted his movement.
Philza was bristling like a cat, his face turned to face the Cucurucho hologram eyes fixed on it, his hand on Missa's shoulders went from a soft and light touch to a vicious grip, his wings seemed to spread and twitch and the muscles in his back were tense.
Missa struggled when Phil's claws tried to dig into his shoulders.
"Philza, cariño, stop" The wise vitaris growled louder like a cat looking to intimidate.
-"Please s-stop- can you? wait a second, just, wait-“
Pressed by the surveillance of the hologram and the fear that Earth headquarters would activate the cameras themselves, Missa wrapped his arm around Phil's wings, making them recoil vaguely in his grip before melting in his hands.
His other arm flew towards the microphone ready to turn it on when he fixed his eyes on Phil's absorbing orbs, a deep blue that swallowed all the light as if only night existed there, they reflected the light of the room as if it had a moon inside and against them, Missa's constricted pupils floated in a miniature canvas of rich, enchanting purple that burned fervently like only the sun.
-“Please” the scientist whispered and finally the sun won that battle.
-“Y-Yes, I'm really sorry, the rains seem to have, eh, damaged something inside the camera, I already cut to get to the button but it seems that the humidity reached too deep, I can't turn it on.”
-“Unacceptable”
-“In fact, it is reversible damage” a voice from the call, a researcher at Destoier planet, intervened. Presumably a human with a white tuft.
- “It will take a while but it is repairable”
Missa gave a grateful look at the hologram that took the form of that researcher even though he knew they couldn't see him. Cucurucho, stopped, as if they were weighing what the researcher had said
Their heavy gaze returned to Missa but its time but this time they didn't say anything.
Missa's microphone automatically closed to make way for the next researcher and his data and finally the black-haired man felt like he could breathe again.
Slowly Phil's buzzing subsided until it gave way to its normal volume, just a little fast and urgent, if Missa had managed to relax his shoulders after the tense exchange they now tensed again when the Vitaris buried his face in the juncture between neck and shoulder of the man with the amethyst eyes.
-“Phi-Philza?! What are you-?"
Was- was he rubbing? A series of muffled clicks collided with his neck, "Threat Mate. Keep Away From Flock, Protect. No-Live. So Strange"
Missa hesitantly placed a hand on his blonde head, gently stroking his hair. Subtle nothings left his lips, seeking to reassure Phil. Unfortunately, he still did not understand the language in Vitaris, which was especially frustrating at that moment.
They stayed there in each other's arms, as the bright blue holograms mutated in shape according to the results of other operations, other false voices mechanically read the investigations in the background, as time progressed Missa thought about how the meeting fell on deaf ears for him because he couldn't find himself to be minimally interested.
A planet passed, then another, and another, he could almost believe that the holograms looked beautiful, another planet and Missa gasped deeply.
He woke up, blinking slowly with a vertigo that he only felt when he was 9 and he teleported from the couch to the bed while he slept (the haters would say it was his parents) suddenly aware of two other things.
One: he was in his bed .
And two: he had not slept in his bed.
Revealing himself from the blanket, he noticed that buried in a kind of circle of blankets and pillows there were two eggs, ahh. Chayanne and Tallulah Missa would never forget that, they could move and semi-communicate like their father but the little Vitaris (presumably) remained inside the shell until they had completely finished their development, they had a tendency to sleep a lot until that moment (mainly Chayanne) and they still depended on their caregiver (Philza) for food and protection.
Still some sleepy, Missa placed a hand delicately on tallulah¨s shell, warming easily under his hand as if the little girl inside could tell he was there and respond to the touch, an aww died in his throat when he noticed that his left arm wouldn't move.
I mean, he could but he would have to take down an adult Vitaris for that. Phil was curled up on his left side while the children (his children?) rested on the right of him, the heat quickly hitting his cheeks as he noticed how close they were and that they were sharing beds? Wasn't that very intimate for the Vitaris kind? with their eggs there??
In front of the children?
Phil had one arm around Missa's waist, his wings pressed uncomfortably against his back in an attempt to keep them from hanging, and his other arm. Oh, it was on the bruise, which was no longer a bruise because it had healed, the bandage was missing and in its place was Phil's calloused, warm hand.
Missa looked at the hand on him, then at the Vitaris's sleeping face, then at the arm around his waist, and finally at the two eggs resting on his bed. It was fine, feel nice. Feel so nice and and diffused inside him. Missa guessed one last thing; That he could let himself sleep, just a little. He probably hallucinated but he felt a kiss on his hair before falling into a comfortable, surrounded and safe sleep.
//I finished, I finally finished this one, it could have been better, much better but I really wanted to publish it for the death duo/pissa anniversary. Thanks so much for reading love u goys :,)

RIGHT i've watched the first six episodes of enterprise (five if the two-part pilot only counts as one) and i have things to say. take all of them with a pinch of salt bc ive only just started it but i have a sneaking sense that it will continue in much the same fashion.
first of all the backswing from ds9 + voyager's first black captain and first female captain is TANGIBLE. to quote eleanour "girlboss" guthrie-blacksails so many goddamn (white) men here!!! too many goddamn (white) men here!!! not only are they white men, archer and trip specifically are Cowboys in the most "we clearly want to write a classic western" sense. if i closed my eyes and listened to a scene with just the two of them i wouldn't be able to distinguish it from firefly, a show where they purposefully put on cowboy voices because apparently space westerns were all the rage in 2001-2002.
t'pol is really the only woman i would call a main rather than supporting character and her role thus far seems to be emulating the nagging sitcom wife, in that she naysays everything, gets utterly disregarded, is proven right by the end of the episode, and then is immediately disregarded again next episode. i find the idea of vulcans intentionally curtailing human progress into space and humans rebelling against that really interesting, but i hate the way the casting and direction turns space travel into this gung-ho boys will be boys situation because even though t'pol is right, she's being Framed as a killjoy in such a gendered way.
back to the western thing - i watched a Lot of 50s' and 60s' westerns as a child and out of the five episodes of enterprise i've seen so far, three have used tropes or stock situations directly from westerns with the worst offender being s1e6 terra nova. i was fucking gobsmacked by that episode like it was BLATANT. the fact that most of their outdoor scenes are probably filmed in california which is where a lot of westerns are filmed by pure hollywood convenience probably doesn't help, but it's really evident in the writing as well. i remember reading that the original series wanted to take the western frontier into space and make a "wagon train to the stars" and it feels like enterprise decided to go all the way back to that concept and do it far, far less subtly.
of course the problem with this is that rather than engage with the politics of that genre and how they've influenced the formation of star trek (is the federation an imperialist entity? is starfleet a colonialist military? etc) it feels so far that enterprise is just having a great time playing uncritical cowboys and aliens, completely erasing indigenous people from the narrative of westward expansion or replacing them with the non-human which. fucking sucks!!
the fact that t'pol is constantly getting racially harassed and abused as the only vulcan aboard, the fact that hoshi is inexperienced with combat and space travel so its always the men doing the action scenes, the fact that travis is the youngest and least ranking officer on the bridge and the fact that enterprise was "rick berman's baby" are all adding up to a conscious agenda of putting white men at the forefront of trek again.
if i'm wrong about any of this i would love to hear from people who've watched further than me! i dont mind about spoilers i've already had loads

Okey I just saw a theory on the "qsmp Jaiden" tag about Jaiden being a rogue experiment from the federation and that's why Cucurucho called her "Blue Bird" cause that's what her code name was and I'm sorry but I'm adding this to my Filosophy
I don't think this will be canon, but if it was THINK OF THE IMPLICATIONS
Jaiden, the rogue experiment from the federation. Cucurucho, the loyal servant of this one.
Even if Jaiden's memories were erased, she still kept that spirit of freedom that allowed her to escape the first time from the building. And even if she is a bit scared of Cucurucho, and feels like a fool putting trust in him, she still chooses to trust him. Stil believes that Cucurucho, like any other servant, can be free and kind like her.
Cucurucho, the entity nobody knows but everybody hates, may be even the one that was in charge to not let her go, But now keeps an steady eye on her, doing the job he was told to do. But maybe, JUST MAYBE, Cucurucho will help her regain her memories. Asking her once more if she remembers who she one was, and help her take down the federation..
Or she turns evil that also works :D
(I am not the one who came up with this theory, I reblogged the person that said it. I'm basically just adding my own thoughts as to what would that mean for the characters)

Ok, the entirety of Purgatory for the QSMP is now officially over, so I am going to talk about it and the Cucurucho streams and related media that has poped up! I'm not going to give a day to day rundown of Pergatory, so if you came for that I suggest instead going for the vods. Personally there was to much fighting, sound, and general chaos (along side the fact that the majority of the streams were long) for me to give a good recap of all the days.
However, I will give a timeline of events outside Purgatory; if you do not want to be spoiled about Cucurucho's actions or any related news, I suggest you look at the QSMP Twitter and Cucuruchos streams!
Ok, so timeline of the events on Pergatory and QSMP.
QSMP Islanders wake up on Egg island and are split into 3 teams: Bolas!?! Headed by Philza, Soulfire headed by Tubbo, and the Green Gay Ninjas headed by Etoiles. Where the teams would spend 2 weeks competing to try and save some of the eggs.
At the half way point (day 7 or 8) the Green Gay Ninjas team were eliminated, and roughly the same day we got the first of 2 streams with Cucurucho as our main actor. The stream at the beginning was just Cucurucho at his home going about his normal life outside of being in charge of the local Federation branch. However, during this we get the actual timeline of when this happened in the flow of Purgatory. The video that played while sending the islanders off the island played before Cucurucho's eyes and the bear was from the sounds of it confused on what was going on. Pointing to the fact that Cucurucho was either not kept in the loop, or that potential the broadcast was not actually the federations doing. After which Cucurucho gets an island report from a federation worker with glasses (which, cute) that points to a huge problem involving what we later learn is called the "shadow virus" before calling for a meeting with all available federation workers.
During this meeting we learn a few things (this is I no particular order). 1. The workers and guards are definitely scared from Cellbit's murder spree, but do not known it was him. 2. The coffee machine is broken and a federation worker is not happy about this fact or the fact they have to drink tea instead. 3. A worker reports that while the islanders were sent off because of matanance, they have lost complete contact with them likely due to a third party (-cough cough-eyeball man -cough cough-). And as such suggested sending someone off to try and gain contact and return the islanders to the island. 4. The scientific team has yet to figure out anything involving the black concrete 5. Fred is still missing and the federation workers are worried. 6. The code entities were trying to send out a signal... And the reporting federation member also mention a plan to fource all federation members to drink apple juice?
Honestly part of what the initial meeting showed along side all that was revealed was the individual personalities of all the federation workers. Something Cucurucho does not reprimand them for, instead just seeming to sigh at.
After this Cucurucho sets all but one federation worker/guard to go clean up the black concrete, with the last member being sent off to Egg island. Cucurucho also left a note for Forever asking to talk.
After this we a stream showing us the federation worker that was sent off on Egg island, infected by the shadow virus and seemingly being forced to help direct the team allocation of green between the two remaining teams, before the worker promptly drops dead.
We don't see the last Cucurucho stream till either the 17th or the 18th where in we are given a tour of part of the upper level of Cucuruchos home before He sets of back to the federation office for an update meeting with all workers not in the med bay or in a good enough state to preform tasks and talk.
We see that the office has been mostly cleaned up, but the shadow virus now infects the majority of the federation workers with one worker being infected by something else. Once in the meeting room, where a table had been set up closer to the podium a new set of reports was given (interrupted on occasion by Cucurucho getting distracted by lizards that are somehow in the facility.)
(also, new Cucuruchovoice lines!) the updated reports are: 1. There is still no progress on the murders, but it is very likely an Island member conducting the action. 2. All actions to try and trace the islanders have failed, and the worker sent off was also lost. While mentioning that the islanders left by a non-official route. 3. The eggs are still missing, and they have no apparent leads on what happened to them. As well as mentioning that the Eggs should not have been able to leave on their own... Also, the apple juice worker again says a plan to get all to drink it. 4. ... The coffee maker is still broken, and the worker seems to be going insane from the tea... 5. As well as a report of while cleaning resident homes of the black concrete finding code monster residual.
The last report was an unofficial one while the group checked out the progress on removing the black concrete... During this, Cucurucho fell into a deep hole that was left unfixed in front of the bridge to the president's office, leading to Cucurucho giving an exasperated sigh before saying "it's tough to be a boss sometimes". The unofficial report reports the biggest spot of the second virus problem, this time relating back to the code monsters and the code egg. Leading to samples being taken.
After this, while Cucurucho went to leave a note to Foolish with a guard and a single worker once of the little eyeball creatures from Pergatory (Luffy) sails into the area and Cucurucho has a brief interaction with them as the child reveals "purgatory" that something is happening with the residents, as well as the instigator of Pergatory. Eventually leading Luffy to be taken into custody to gain more information before Cucurucho goes home with the picture of the purgatory man as he questions who they are in relation to this incident.
After this the end of predatory happens where a tie is broken between the Bolas and soulfire team in Bolas's favor. After which the predatory man reveals they have a spy in their talks and tells them to play hide and seek with him. Bringing them to an area with a federation worker with a single eye before the eggs are revealed, as well as El Quackity being the spy. It is then revealed that the egg "choice" was a single egg chosen by luck, before a confrintation leads to the island creator setting off a nuke timber. That leads to most of the islanders not making it off? (certain. Need official channal information that might not be available till wensdsy if Phil can't get on QSMP tomorrow.)
Also, on the official twitter a video of Richarlison having survived the bomb is shown as well as a missing poster for... Cucurucho...
Whatever is going on has just made everything much more confusing.
Also, just an odd note, has the QSMP info canal logo changed to a black cucurucho face for anyone else (or... A white shirted man screaming?)? Or is this just me...
