Iām the Rouxls guy! Iām very happy you appreciated my lil thoughts- I would gladly share more. Hereās a little one- I thought Lancer was the real āprince from the darkā of the prophecy in Chapter 1. He plays the same party join theme that Susie does, while Ralsei never did. When alongside the party he stood in the same horizontal position as Ralsei- as if he was displaced from where he should be. Seems a bit less likely now with Castle Town, but itās still a theory I havenāt heard anywhere else.
oh oh oh oh see now this is an interesting concept. and i donāt think the existence of castle town necessarily mitigates its likelihood
see, iām not convinced the fountain in the supply closet existed before the one in the abandoned classroom like ralsei says. i donāt think this means ralsei is a liar - if this is the case and lancer is supposed to be the prince from the prophecy, i think what happened is ralsei was lied to. itās just - lancerās comment about being the āteardrop-headed kid from the legendā has always stood out to me. like yeah he could be talking about this visual
[ID: one of the sepia-toned visuals from ralseiās legend in chapter 1. on the left is a human lightner standing under a sun; they are holding a spear. on the right is a darkner that resembles lancer standing under a moon. they have a big smile on their face. end ID.]
but thatās kind of really fucking odd ?? because these visuals are presented to us, the player, not the in-game characters. like ralsei is literally just talking. lancer should not know about these pictures, so to me it sounds a lot more like heās saying heās someone mentioned in the words of the prophecy. aka, the prince from the dark
of course that could just be something spade king told him, too. many possibilities here, and i donāt think we have enough information to pinpoint it either way just yet!!
but i will say. thinking about it...? the assumption that castle townās fountain existed before the old classroomās is kind of not believable. itās in a supply closet. something that people are constantly opening and going through. noelle apparently saw the inside of it recently enough to remember that thereās a box of chalk in there. realistically, the closetās fountain would have been discovered very quickly, unless it was opened like literally the night before. meanwhile, a fountain could have existed in the old classroom for years and no one would have been the wiser. the door was probably locked, and if you looked through the little window on the door and saw nothing but darkness, that would check out, because the lights would be off!
and like yeah. the way time passes in dark worlds is strange and we donāt fully understand it yet - like we know cyber worldās fountain was opened only a few hours before the lightner kids stumbled into it, and yet, to queen and everyone else there, itās like it has existed for decades. itās really confusing and again, we just donāt have the necessary information to make sense of it with only 2 chapters of the game to go off of. so idk, maybe the night before the game begins the fountain in the supply closet was opened, and a few minutes later the one in the classroom was opened, and from the dark worldās perspective, a few minutes is a few years ?
however. if weāre supposed to believe that the fountain in the supply closet has existed for a substantial amount of time from the light worldās perspective and the one in the old classroom was JUST opened the night before the game starts, then??? this doesnāt make any fucking sense. simple as that <3 if it were anywhere but the supply closet, then yeah sure i guess. but...
we also have to consider the fact that castle town and the ???????? area before it are like. empty. the absolute barest bones of existence. and in chapter 1, the town is literally just some paper cutouts
[ID: castle town as it appears in chapter 1. the most important thing to note is that the edges of town are curved, like folded paper. end ID.]
thereās no people except ralsei which is... ? this is a supply closet, so there should be objects that turn into darkners and like, actual buildings, right?? but no. so unless the supply closet has been empty all this time except for paper, dust, and krisās old headband, something is Up with this dark worldās fountain. in order to become more real, it requires... the power of other dark worlds and darkners. weāve only seen two other dark worlds so far, but the card kingdom and cyber world can sustain themselves just fine. youād think the opposite would be true, considering ralsei says this is a fountain of Pure Darkness, indicating that it is more powerful than the others. like if that were really true, i donāt think itād need to be built up this way .
like iāve said before, i think lancer and rouxls turning into stone in cyber world has a lot less to do with darkners not being able to exist in other dark worlds and a lot more to do with the fact that their dark fountain is permanently gone
