i think once,the warden fell in love w/ the girl in the ponponpon video and jared woke up and everything was pastel and warden was wearing a skirt and using 'kawaii' and 'doki' and all the inmate's were wearing eyeball dresses.
This is a pretty long one, but bear with me. I’ve been thinking a lot about this and I’ve come to this conclusion: Stingray doesn’t have a tragic past or any kind of background/history at all prior to being Lord Stingray. He’s simply a living toy that used to reside on one of the many weird Outlands the Warden created.
Stingray’s island fortress is actually part of an Outland where toys are alive and made flesh (Care bears are actually multicolored grizzly bears, Raggedy Ann is an actual red-headed girl in rags, etc). Lord Stingray was a popular action figure character on real earth, as seen in the opening where a young child is playing with toy Stingray and a soldier. If Stingray were a true living person who was out to destroy/enslave the world, making a child’s toy of him would be truly tasteless on the level of giving your kid a plastic Hitler doll. Stingray and the Stars and Stripes were just one of many toys that were made real on the multi-island Outland in its first creation (their technology is far more advanced than anything the real military has as of now, which would make sense if they were just imagined by a toy company). However, being that the franchise is one of the most violent ones, the war between Stringray and the Stars and Stripes quickly wiped out the other toy inhabitants. The two enemy sides had been fighting each other for years from opposing islands up until the events of “Lord Stingray Crashparty.” They’re all basically suffering from Buzz Lightyear syndrome as Stingray is not aware that he is just a living action figure, and he actually believes himself to be a true evil supervillain. The same is true for the Stars and Stripes heroes, who believe they are real US soldiers.
The Outlands were worlds/dimensions created by Warden to keep all other Earth citizens from finding Superjail and keep inmates (save Jacknife) from escaping back to society. If the Warden suspected that the neighboring islands already had people living on it, he would have taken steps to eliminate them so they wouldn’t find his jail. Likewise, it it had been uninhabited, Stingray shouldn’t have been able to get so close to Superjail to set up his fortress without getting lost in the hundreds of other Outlands surrounding it. Yet Stingray seemed to remain undetected for years and then stumbled across Superjail quite easily by accident, even though it supposedly resides in a separate dimension from the rest of the planet. The entire fleet of Stars and Stripes were able to track Stingray and infiltrate Superjail quite easily as well. This should not be possible unless both Stingray and the soldiers already had prior knowledge of Superjail (obviously not). The only other outsiders who have been shown to find and infiltrate Superjail have been the Mistress (who rules an intergalactic space jail, so she probably either already has knowledge of the various dimensions that exist, including 5612, or she has the capacity to breach various dimensions), and the lizard-people in “Superjail Six” (who were also residents of a neighboring Outland), so it seems one must already be a resident or have extensive knowledge of other dimensions in order to reach Superjail without being escorted by Jailbot (even Jared and Alice couldn’t get back on their own once they were back on Earth). One doesn’t just stumble across Superjail, otherwise anyone could. Stingray was able to find Superjail so easily because his island was already situated in dimension 5612; he just didn’t know it. Likewise, Warden didn’t pay much attention to any action happening on the island because he just wrote it off as the normal action that occurs in his Outlands, and Outland creations are no threat to him.
The Warden had created literally hundreds, possibly thousands of Outlands, so he probably forgot that Stingray was just a toy from one of his imagined worlds.Or the Warden may not have paid attention to which toys he threw into that world (maybe he just sent Jailbot to fetch some random toys to populate the island). When he saw Stingray, Warden’s childlike personality reacted just as a little kid might when first seeing a really awesome action cartoon character arrive at his doorstep. No wonder Warden’s inner fanboy totally geeked out!
Also i want to include that his past is the reason hes a dick now. He uses his attitude, bruteness ans cruelness as a shell to keep the child inside him secure. If he wasnt in an enviorment where he was like that he would be a very content and kind person
(2/2) the closest thing he ever had to a girlfriend was asking a girl out just for her not to show up to the date, or getting a date to prom just to be humiliated by his classmates. After he graduated he got a scholarship to study marine biology and eventually work with aquatic animals (he didnt care how as long as they were safe, he was safe and he got to spend time by the sea with them) but was kidnapped by a corporation that gave him the scholorship and turned him into what he is today.
(1/2)Stingray is actually extremely lonely and depressed and has been since he could remember. He once was a human boy in an orphanage who had a great fascination with sea life(especially stingrays, thats why he loved his name, ray stringer, so much.) all throughout his school life he had no friends and was bullied constantly for being so quiet and shut in, and it grew worse when the other kids found out about his love for aquatic life. In highschool he was still pushed around constantly.
So what if the Wurbuxx actually could have been the Twins' kid, but they ate it because they didn't want to be parents? After all, a bud like it would require a lot of responsibility. And from the way Ozzal seems to raise his brood and how the Twins just like goofing off and don't care for "work", child-rearing wouldn't be their kind of thing.
Maybe they preferred to not value the bud as a child either, since that would require some attachment. To them, it was simply a delicacy. Perhaps it's procedure for unwanted children to be disposed of in such a way, since they'd be providing sustenance to others with their death. Maybe the Triplets had eaten their own buds as well, and the Twins learned it from the best.
Or of course, the delicious buds are simply just creatures used for food, perhaps only a prototype for offspring that the species would be able to produce when older.
(Yeah, I don't really voice the "it could have been their kid??" thought as much, since the Twins were enough of cannibals as it was, and it'd piss people off)
(Of course, they are cartoons and we'll all have our different opinions, so take mine with a grain of salt. They could wind up being totally off.)
Jared= Mid-late 30s to early 40s. He could be a bit younger than Alice, or it's possible that even she's actually the younger of the two. I'd guess that Charise is somewhere around this range too (give or take a few years).
Alice= Late 30s or so. Only Alice really knows, and you probably don't want to get her pissed by guessing too old. Bruce seems like he may be a little younger and he'd probably feel superior for that (or he could be older and be pulling age-rank).
The Doctor= Early-mid 50s, maybe early 60s. With however many years passed for the dark future timeline, he was definitely looking quite elderly, so he could even be a little older.
Jacknife= Him being a 30-something would seem about right.
Twins= I'd think physically in their early 20s, making them come off among the "youngest". Being that they're aliens, they may age differently and could actually be a little older than the rest of the cast. Or, they can pass for young adults, but could probably even be a little younger in terms of their species (teenagers?).
Jared was born around the 1960s, possibly 1967, making his current age 45 or 46 depending on his birthday.
As a kid, he had developed a junk food addiction. Sure, every child loves sweets, chips, and what-not, but this seemed more than just a craving. It ended up to be a full on addiction. Same with fast food. Anything high in calories triggered his obsession. Jared soon was trying to get himself out of this food habit, especially during his early high school years.
And speaking of high school, Jared during his teen years was one of those "follow the crowd" kids. If the cool kids wore those weirdly patterned clothing and had ridiculous 80's haircuts, then by golly so did he! And since the 1980's were a time during a drug revolution, here is where Jared's next obsession comes in. As many teens in high school do, he dated a woman. And also like many high school dramas, that said woman cheated on him for a Jock. Depressed in finding this out, another student offered him possibly marijuana or weed so it will make all of his problems disappear. Jared, being him, took it. Soon he became addicted to the drugs.
His original drug days never lasted. Not until later that is.
In his mid 20s, Jared was working a decent pay job, been helping himself stray from any past addictions, all was going well. Until he met another woman. This woman was beautiful, tall, everything he dreamed of in a girl. And best yet, she attended and graduated the same college as he did. He assumed that this was the woman of his dreams.
They soon became wedded. However, the marriage did not last. At the age of 31, things went downhill for Jared after finding out that his wife decided to have a divorce with him. She found him "too much" or so she claimed. Yes, in my headcanon, Jared is a divorcee.
Jared became a heavy drinker to wash away his sorrow for having his ex leave him for reasons unknown to him. He took the drugs again to try and relax himself, but that made things worse. He even started eating more to try and cheer himself up. Soon, he became addicted to a lot more than he wanted/needed and all of this was causing massive depression.
The trauma didn't end there. Soon, he had unfortunately lost everything due to gambling to try and get his luck back. Jared was practically living on the edge at this point. It was so bad he was about to give it all up, until a man came to him. He was offering him a money deal he couldn't resist. All he had to do was work for him and he'd pay up. Unfortunately for the unknowing Jared, this person was part of the mafia, their leader at that. And as Jared was about to get his first day of pay for probably committing several (unknown to him) illegal errands, the police arrived and apprehended everyone, Jared included.
And if you have seen Jailbot 2.0's flashback sequence, the rest of the story goes from there.
Well, I hope y'all enjoyed this little story!
The Twins, the "true forms" theory, and broods (LONGish)
Ever since the Twins were confirmed as aliens, there has been question if their appearances are what they actually are on their planet. With all the powers they have, shape-shifting might not be too far out.
But I think it's possible that what we see is what they are. Maybe it's just that simple. Maybe it's a little more complex. Anything kind of goes, so-
TRUE FORM? PLANETARY AESTHETICS?:
If you notice in "Troubles with Triplets", the only thing the Twins change about themselves are their fashion and hair.
In the discussion that spawned this, the friend pointed out that if the Twins really had any other form, they would have probably reverted back to that. Think about it! If they wanted to keep up the ruse of conquering a planet, they'd be ruling over the humans and wouldn't have any reason to stay looking like them, wouldn't they? But then, these are the Twins we're talking about and they just kind of do what they want.
It could be that the reason why the Twins came to Earth would have to do with the humans looking most like them, and that they'd "fit in" in that sense (except they don't really quite fit in, but they try! They do try!). Aside from the ugly features some freak out over, the Twins do look the most human out of their family that we've seen.
But with taking that into consideration, perhaps their more humanoid appearances are the less desirable ones in their culture. It could be that they're the ugly kids there, or simply plain and unremarkable. Even if they resemble Ozzal more than their brothers do, they're still the "hatchlings" that are less valuable, carefree, and not as successful as the older brood. So in their father's eyes and perhaps any other citizens', they're not worth praising or paying much attention to. Everyone must fear and respect the Triplets and their huge horns also the moobs.
So if stranger looks are the norm and encouraged, the bizarre Triplets and Ozzal would actually be considered more "handsome" and mature. Alternatively, it could be that the Triplets were actually born deformed, but their success and brutality in conquering (along with being daddy's boys) earns them that respect.
EVOLUTION OF THE SPECIES/AGING:
Although being the way the show is and with liking to mix things up, there's yet another alternative headcanon to throw in here.
Their species could start out more humanoid, but mutations set in for them after puberty or over time, perhaps as they gain more power. Maybe Ozzal is the way he is due to being so damn old, and having gathered enough power to be an overlord. Or maybe he was always that giant sperm ornament, you decide. Maybe the Triplets always lacked noses and had horns, or maybe they too looked kind of different.
By the dialogue of the Twins, we know that the Triplets' horns have grown more since the last time they all saw each other. So the horns seem to be a gradual thing, if you were to take that serious. Maybe their horns are made out of the crystals that they have in their bodies, or are some other sort of unusual growth. If it's a part of evolution or puberty, the Twins may be unable to evolve in such a way (due to different genes, flaws in their bodies, them being "runts", or something else).
The Twins didn't become overlords*, but it's made some wonder if they'd ever evolve to be like their father or into something else. It depends how you see them. I think if aging or overlord evolution consisted of becoming freakier or anything like their father, the Twins would probably try to fight it and do all that they can NOT to age. They like their youth.
Yet if Ozzal's so many metacycles old, the Twins themselves could have long lifespans and be even older than we'd think. Maybe they're older than the Warden, maybe there's a huge age gap between them and the Triplets. The mystery is the fun part.
Maybe it's not gray hairs that multikind have to worry about, but more like their skin "staining" and becoming blue (or some other unusual color) to indicate such old age. I'd think the symptoms of aging and evolution would probably be more alien and strange than gray hair and wrinkling.
BROODS:
Another person in Tinychat (around the time of that episode) had suggested that the Twins may be the equivalent of "runts" in a brood. It's an interesting angle to explore. Besides being smaller and weaker than the Triplets, the runt idea could mean a few other things. Perhaps on their planet, larger broods are the norm, and twins would be a sign of bad luck. So as much as Ozzal does want them home, they were born a disappointment that he had to deal with.
Going with THAT theory now, singletons would probably be an even worse sign (and maybe they get eaten like the Wurbuxx bud did). But then again, it was pointed out that Ozzal seems to be well respected and feared for being single. We don't really know his past though, do we? He could be so old by now that it doesn't matter whether he had a brother or not, because he's OZZAL.
That's really enough for now. I'll let others overthink the rest, but this is the first time doing a headcanon/theory post.
*We'll see if they ever reference the Triplets or this episode again. There are the two options that were given: them forgetting and never mentioning it again (as with other oddball endings), or there being something to build off and revisit it. I'd be alright either way, but I feel these two were developed nicely in this last season and it'd be fun if they got explored a little more.
Superjail Headcanon Eye Colours. Warden = amber, Jared = blue (thank CappyCode and AOSH for that one), Alice = brown, Twins = colourless or rather just pupils (Think more or less a reptile's eyes), Jacknife = grey, Doctor = left eye brown and right eye green (heterochromia), Gary = dark green, Ash = All dark (Eye damaged), Nicky = dark Blue-grey, Stingray = red, Mistress = bright green, Charise = brown, and Bruce = dark blue. Phew! (P.S. Sorry for all the tags you have to go through.)
The ways that humans copulate and pleasure themselves are considered unnatural on the Twins and Triplets planet. Orgasms derived that way would eventually be fatal to their bodies with prolonged and reckless use. Another reason why they were mentally scarred from whatever happened to them in the van.
There is a reason the Insane Clown Posse (or one member from what I've seen from Cold-Blooded and other episodes) are in Superjail. The ICP once tried to rule the United States of America but the Warden would not have it. So what did he do? Incarceration, of course! And that is why they are in Superjail now.
