Crazy Theory: The past and the First Dark Fountain

Okay, what I'm about to tell is too far-fetched even for me, but let's talk about it anyway: I think I know what happened to Kris, Dess, and this Fountain, but to find out, we first have to delve into their past.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

It all begins when Kris is adopted by the Dreemurrs and, along with Asriel, becomes friends with the Holidays. A few years later, Kris and Noelle grow up and befriend Catti, with whom Kris performs a ritual to summon a demon.

What young Kris didn't know then was that this would cause them trouble later on.

As the story progresses, Kris encounters the same creature one day, who leads them through the forest and causes them to get lost, until they reach a place: the first Dark Fountain. Intrigued, Kris enters and is shocked by what they find there. Then they decided to go back to tell everyone about it, but since they got lost the monsters found them and they got scold. Kris tried to tell them what happened, but no one believed them, until paranormal events occurred in Noelle's house due to the creature's influence, which made Asriel and the Holiday sisters believe them and accompany them to find it.

They search for days, in the cemetery, at the lake, but find nothing. Asriel and Noelle give up the search, but Kris and Dess persevere until they find it. They follow it, and Dess leaves a trail of breadcrumbs so they can find their way back if they get lost.

The two continued on their way until they found the first Dark Fountain and entered it, but that was the beginning of the tragedy.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Get ready, here comes the crazy part:

I think Kris and Dess got caught up in the events of the “Earthbound: Halloween Hack”, or rather, they entered a Dark World based on it, with new characters based on Varik and Dr. Andonuts.

Let’s remember that Toby likes to use old elements from his previous games and hacks to reboot and create new things, so this could be the case here.

In the Hack's story, Varik is a bounty hunter hired to investigate the murder of a young girl’s parents. His mission is to take down the monster. Varik, with the help of a PLAYER, they do so and discover the culprit is a crazy Dr. Andonuts, who lost his sanity after losing Jeff and his friends. He was responsible for creating and unleashing various monsters to kill everyone. Confronting him, both end up entering the doctor's mind through a machine, a Magicant (similar to a Dark World), and there they witness the doctor's entire history. His past and his descent into madness. At the end of the story, Varik and the PLAYER have no other choice but to kill the doctor.

Now, there's another game that Toby made called "peepee.exe", where there's a small part of the story that continues this thing between Varik and the Doctor.

I'm going to include some of the dialogue so you can understand:

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Getting back, my point is: Kris and Dess entered this Dark World based on all of this and something terrible happened. This resulted in Dess being trapped inside, the human probably sacrificing to seal the Dark Fountain, Kris ending with the SOUL like this, and everything else that happened with Asgore (who probably followed the children using the breadcrumbs or was alerted by Kris).

That's why I think the person Kris has been trying to remember is perhaps a new character based on Varik or Dr. Andonuts.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Yes, I know.

This is the craziest thing I've ever come up with, but there you’ve it.

[bigboobshaunt]

Dr. Andonuts telling the crew about Jeff wetting the bed is a multiple choice nightmare cause he hasn't seen his son in 10 years so either like:

A) Snow Wood notified him of Jeff having a problem with wetting the bed

B) He's telling Jeff's friends about something he used to do as a baby like it's still going on

C) He made that up on the spot to use as an icebreaker

A few edits i made for my EarthBound 20XX AU if it had a romhack

Lovesick effect and call screen for Jeff

The Lovesick effect can only affect Jeff, but works the same as Ness' Homesick effect and can be cured by calling Tony. In EarthBound 20XX, Paula can also get homesick, as an additional feature to justify all the kids except Poo having mobile phones in this AU. Her call screen looks the same as Ness'.

In EarthBound 20XX, Jeff and Tony have recently started dating as of the events of EarthBound and Jeff will start to miss Tony if not kept in touch with him. Calling Tony at least once in your playthrough will also replace the dialogue where Tony feels like a nuisance for trying to call Jeff with a dialogue where he's happy to hear about Jeff and to know he missed him on their adventure. Maxwell will save your game like he does when you first play as Jeff.

The call screen appears when you either have Jeff at the top of the party by having Ness and Paula unconscious and then using a stationary telephone/payphone or by using Jeff's phone from the inventory. The same goes for Paula's call screen, where she has to be on top of the party or by using Paula's phone from the inventory.

Each party member will also be able to use the phone of another member to call their contacts, in the case of Ness and Paula you'll read their names before the parents' contacts in the call screen, Jeff's call screen will stay unchanged. The Escargo Express will have the usual Tracy dialogue when Ness calls, otherwise there will be a generic dialogue for the other members.

Alternate outfits for Jeff and Tony and New Chosen Four on top of Mt. Itoi

These are for another hypothetical romhack taking place in the same AU, 4 years after the events of EarthBound. In this second entry, Giygas wants to eliminate every reality in which George has stolen the information about the PSI, so the New Chosen Four have to travel to an alternate reality, where Ninten and his friends haven't defeated Giygas yet.

Jeff and Tony don't wear their school uniforms during the game, but instead personal casual outfits. (Ignore them still wearing their uniforms in the screenshot edit, it was made before i made the seperate sprite edits)

Tony will be a party member in this entry, with his weapon of choice being a crossbow, which he can assist Ness and Paula in their PSI attacks with by shooting a bolt through the PSI. This will work with PK Thunder, PK Freeze and PK Fire. This will cause the original PSI damage along with the crossbow damage and a bonus from the charged bolt. This serves as compensation for him not being able to use PSI. Additionally, due to his connection to Jeff, he can use bottle rockets as well.

While the prophecy for the most part has remained the same as last time, it is revealed that there is a vital difference. The difference being one of the kids being replaced by another, Poo is being replaced by Tony as he has to tend to his royal duties as prince of Dalaam. Additionally, Tony is chosen because, while he does know about the trauma Giygas has caused the original Chosen Four, he hasn't experienced said trauma, which gives him an advantage in the final boss fight as Ness, Paula and Jeff will recieve a "Traumatized" effect, which causes their offense to drop significantly and their defense to rise slightly, while Tony gets the "Protective" effect, in which he'll occasionally take attacks directed at the others and both his offense and defense rise significantly.

Dr. Andonuts has found a way in which time travel doesn't destroy the human body and refined the phase distorter to also hop between realities while travelling through time.

During their hike on Mt. Itoi, Ness gets a call from his father and it's revealed that in their reality, Ness' father has defeated Giygas before, along with Dr. Andonuts, who are then revealed to be Ninten and Lloyd. Ninten reveals that the lullaby he has sung to Ness as a baby are the original Eight Melodies, the same lullaby that Maria sung to Giygas, and the only way to defeat him.

Ness will tell the others so they know what exactly to sing when they need to. If you decide to choose the sing option as Tony, who is known for having a beautiful singing voice and enjoying singing but also for losing his voice when anxious, there's a big chance you'll get a textbox saying "Tony tried to sing the Eight Melodies, but he lost his voice."

Hello there, I find your theory about John Brown is a supernatural being in disguise is interesting me, because I don't believe that Undertaker will be the final antagonist but will face to face with Sebastian and Our!Ciel since his main goal is to restore the Phantomhive family and we still don't know who killed Rachel and Vincent, kidnapped the twins and burned their mansion. Also, in Season 1, John Brown was replaced with Ash/Angela who was a fallen angel and the one who cause the Phantomhve family's demise. If John Brown was indeed a supernatural being and was involved with the Phantonhive's death, I imagined him being a dangerous third party like how Ash/Angela became a very dangerous villain that made both demons which is Sebastian and reapers to join forces to stop the fallen angel. I don't know if the whole "snuff out the unclean, snuff out the unnecessary and snuff out the unwanted" will became canon, but let's just wait for another plot twist in thr climax.

Speaking of season 1, in the episode "His butler: Engaging the Servants", Finnian said that birds were his only friends, and since we probably get closer to Finny's past in the manga, could it be birds symbolizes his desire for freedom? Because I always heard this simile, " As free as a bird." What do you think of this?

Also, in the last episode of season 1, Sebastian said that his true form is unsighty, disgusting and repulsive. I personally think that he wasn't wrong that his true form is quite horrible for human eyes to see, i mean, having an eldritch like body with hundred of eyes is far from the word beautiful. Not to mention that Ash/Angela's reaction and how they were terrified implies that Sebastian can easily shred them in pieces which he actually did to that mad fallen angel (and also the cultist that killed R!Ciel in the manga)

(I'm completely aware that I often compared season 1 of the anime with the manga because some of them were nearly the same. Idk about season 2)

⚠️ long post ⚠️ and re-edited ❗️ ⚠️

Hello! Thanks for the asks!

John Brown as the biggest bad

I often compare John Brown (and Ash/Angela) to a Mother game character called Giygas, who is an extraterrestrial from a very distant world. In Mother, Giygas crash-lands on Earth and is cared for by George and Mary/Maria. I'm a little confused about the details, but they apparently go with Giygas to its home planet, where Mary/Maria stays. George steals technology from the alien race and returns to Earth, where he conducts more studies. George also somehow manages to pass alien abilities to his descendants. Fearing this technology will be used by Earthlings to destroy that alien race, Giygas is sent back to Earth to stop him. But by the time Giygas gets to Earth again, George has already died, and Giygas has gone kind of insane. Giygas decides to take revenge against humanity, particularly George's descendants, like Ninten. By the time you get to Mother 2 (EarthBound), Giygas is using all sorts of methods to control people, including this kid called Pokey Minch. Ness and his pals defeat Pokey and Giygas, but Pokey escapes, while Giygas is sort of... obliterated? In Mother 3, Pokey returns as King Porky. Though Giygas isn't seen anymore, some essence of evil left behind by Giygas still seems to influence King Porky. With help, Lucas manages to defeat King Porky (without killing him). Then Lucas still has to have a final showdown with his dead and reanimated older mirror twin brother, Claus.

George is one of the parallels to Undertaker, here, assuming he's Cedric, the paternal grandfather of the mirror twin brothers (real Ciel and our earl). Taking and researching technology from another race of creatures, passing abilities/traits onto his descendants. Does the technology come directly from reapers? I don't quite think so, at least not entirely. They keep mentioning their "superiors", and I suspect those are something truly superior to reapers, not simply reapers with higher authority. Angels, perhaps. That's what Ash/Angela is in s1, though apparently a fallen one. And both characters (John and Ash/Angela) have whips....

Perhaps the John Brown we have seen in the manga is one of these superiors? Possibly an angel of sorts.

An angel who has been sent to clean up this mess with Undertaker. I can imagine the superiors trying (at first) to take care of it themselves, not wanting the reapers to know whatever Undertaker has learned. But that's failed, and now active reapers are being pulled in to help.

And, in the process, John has made a contract with Queen Victoria, much like a demon might? The way he uses that puppet of Prince Albert suggests he's controlling the queen, and it might be a lot like the offer Sebastian originally offered to our earl (to make him believe his twin had returned). This makes Victoria the main parallel to King Porky. (I believe there's another one who specifically parallels Pokey Minch, before he returns as the self-proclaimed king.)

Perhaps John, like Ash/Angela, has a completely different side to him that we haven't seen just yet? Something polar opposite of what we've seen, so far. Something intense and crazed, much like Ash/Angela is. Much like Giygas becomes.

I seriously think that our earl (with help) must defeat John Brown as the "big bad", even more so than the queen, though she's probably the one who actually orders the attack, etc.

If the Mother game series parallels are close enough, John's (or the reaper superiors') main concern might be that Undertaker could make their roles obsolete. And that's kind of what Othello and Grelle discuss in ch149. And they haven't even discussed the possibility that this deserting reaper has been passing on reaper traits to human descendants. But they are already worried he might change the nature of life itself, making souls unnecessary. Making reapers unnecessary. It could destroy the entire system of the Afterlife. Much like Giygas' species fears humans stealing and using their own technology against them.

Finny and birds

Isn't there a scene in the manga that has Finny accidentally kill the first bird he tries to care for... or was that also just anime Finny? 🤔 Anyway, he definitely says he likes the outdoors and wide open spaces because of his previous confinement. It would make sense if he's also fond of anything else that symbolizes freedom, like the flight of birds. Makes it more poignant that there's so much caged bird imagery in his current situation at the orphanage... as well as the wren and myths/folklore associated with it.

Sebastian's demonic form

I quickly started to associate Sebastian with two characters in Mother 3: Boney, the loyal family dog who helps Lucas... and the Dark Dragon, the beast that follows your will... if you wake it up and give it your "heart". Lucas is the one to wake the Dark Dragon after his older mirror twin is "sacrificed".

We've actually seen glimpses of a form this demon can take, besides all the mouths and eyes, and besides the various animals (and furniture) it can conjure from itself. We see it reflected in a mirror on the cover art for ch88.

We also see it in a couple panels in ch137. The image on the left is not as well defined, and it might be as the demon is changing forms. The head of the one on the right looks particularly similar to the reflection on ch88's cover.

The Dark Dragon is a powerful creature that can be used for good or bad, depending on who wakes it back up. Lucas has a good heart, so the Dark Dragon does everything in its power to set things right again, after much upheaval. It cannot return the dead to life, just like Sebastian.

So... the Dark Dragon never goes up against Giygas... or even against King Porky. The biggest bads are defeated before Lucas even wakes the Dark Dragon. Giygas is defeated by prayer (of all things) in Mother 2. King Porky is captured inside an Absolute Safe Capsule, invented by Dr. Andonuts.

In Black Butler, we could see a break in that parallel, simply because our earl relies so heavily on Sebastian (and because Sebastian is already awake/under contract). However, we could also end up with our earl and Sebastian witnesses to John Brown and Queen Victoria being defeated by others who have been helping them.

One of Undertaker's other parallels in the Mother game series is Dr. Andonuts... but he's not the only Kuroshitsuji character to parallel the inventor: so is Sieglinde Sullivan. Dr. Andonuts is forced to work for King Porky, and his Fascinating Chimera technology is used/abused by King Porky's Pigmask Army, but he eventually manages to get revenge by keeping Porky alive but unable to cause anymore harm. We know Undertaker doesn't like the queen, so if he finds out she wants his Bizarre Dolls as "allies", he might confront her and John. Then we have Sieglinde, who is brought to England and introduced to the queen. Soon after, we find out the queen is sponsoring Sieglinde's new (mostly secret) projects... in a house and laboratory also provided by the queen. When Sieglinde figures out the queen is using her, much like her mother used her, she might also rise up against Victoria.

If we keep really close to the game, our earl and Sebastian (as Boney instead of the Dark Dragon role) might finally confront Queen Victoria and John Brown (and Double Charles?) just to watch as they are somehow defeated by Undertaker and/or Sieglinde. Extra points if it's Sieglinde using some contraption she invented while working for the queen.

Wouldn't it be wild if Sebastian isn't (directly) the one to defeat his master's main enemies... and then he has to apologize for failing the terms of the contract? Or maybe he covers his demon ass by helping in some roundabout way, so he can still claim the victory for his master? Either way, it could really decrease the sweetness of that revenge.

Sebastian might not even need the ability to shred John Brown. We shall see....

---

And I'm completely aware I often compare Black Butler to the Mother game series. 😆 S1 of the anime has some interesting AU parallels. For all of its off-the-rails qualities -- surprisingly -- so does s2. Heck, that joke OVA about making the anime even has a scene that parodies part of Dr. Andonuts' lab under King Porky's control.

Sorry for the long delay in responding. I hope you like the reply!
