okay but how funny would it be if star dude, crescent chick and heart lady are all on this planet, besties with each other and their demons, just living life to the fullest with mad raves and indulgences and cool demon powers. Then our scraggly ass gang of miscreants show up, looking like they needed a shower and new clothes about 849348 years ago, looking like Emotionally Strung Out Messes after figuring shit out, especially Odin ‘i had one (1) job’ Arrow who suddenly now has three (3) jobs. And somehow these four come to the conclusion that the other three should join them?? To take down the ruler of the universe?? Imagine how hard the other three would try to swerve them lmao
The hosts and what’s going on with them
Since I did this for the demons, why not do it for the hosts? This is basically all of what we currently know about the hosts. Let me know if I’ve forgotten anything or made a mistake! Put under the cut just in case bc, ya know, spoilers, kinda
Ohh that Magpie theory is great! I have a similar one: I think Magpie has some kind of mental illness that makes it really difficult for her to communicate and express herself. And maybe Odin is the only one who tries to understand her, possibly by letting her draw in his notebook. As for those drawings: the girl in the first picture has a bow on her right side, like Raven, but it seems there’s a smaller bow on her left side as well. Could it be that it’s actually 3 sisters merged into 1 girl? Sort of like saying “We’re happy when we’re together and understand each other”. The second picture shows 3 separate girls, and Magpie is crying, because her sisters don’t understand her. The third picture is even worse - there’s only Magpie, she feels alone and alienated, hence the cage (I’m not sure about this one, it could be Crow, since she has no bow). Idk what Odin’s mission has to do with helping her, though. Maybe some (illegal) medical organisation agreed to help in exchange for hosts, so they can do inhumane experiments on them, omfg
That’s a pretty awesome theory too! I like it, definitely something to think about. I definitely agree that whoever wants the demons definitely aren’t doing anything humane with them.
My theory on those pictures is pretty crazy, if I’m honest. I took the first picture to be the Arrow siblings’ mother?? Idk why but it was the first thought I had when I saw it bc, although it’s a child’s drawing so it lacks in detail, the person in the first drawing looks kinda older? Like her hair is longer, clearly wearing a fitted dress, big eyelashes (or maybe heart eyes?? which like 👀) so I guess I just immediately thought ‘mother’. It wouldn’t be odd for the more ‘girly’ daughters to wear bows to emulate their mother, the girls wearing a bow on each side while their mother wears one on top of her head. And the figure in the back, that is super ominous with no face and appearing more faded than the rest of the drawing? The one that the woman doesn’t really acknowledge whatsoever despite it looking like it’s grabbing her arm?? Gave me big ol’ demon vibes.
The next page with the three girls looked more like a reaction to the first drawing with the smiling woman to me. Crow and Raven, blissfully unaware and passive, while Magpie is crying. It’s what made - and still makes - me wonder if maybe Magpie was haunted. We know the Arrows know about hauntings but the way they speak about it is pretty callous and unemotional, doesn’t make me think they’re doing anything good to the hosts/demons but also don’t think they’re doing anything wrong. The fact that Raven and Crow don’t appear to know Odin is a host also makes me think it’s something he hid and that maybe he began smoking the florem mortem so that people didn’t suspect him if he suddenly began staring and speaking to something that wasn’t there. That’s if he was even aware of what Pedri meant, maybe in denial.
I also wondered if that’s how Magpie became ill - since they’re the royal family (or at least right up there) maybe the shame of having a host in their ranks made them try to separate the demon from Magpie and it left her frail or weak or catatonic or something that makes her feel trapped. Or they failed and keep her locked away so that no one finds out. That this left her feeling confined and alienated, hence the cage/prison bars, and maybe feeling like her identity as an Arrow was taken from her which is why there is no ribbon and her face was smudged away in the final picture.
(I also have the dumbest theory that they did succeed in separating her from the demon and that the demon may have latched on to the mother, who died during the procedure bc I can’t imagine that being a safe process, and she made a pact to live, not unlike Ava. And because the Arrows thought she was dead and the demon gone, she decided to leave to spare them from having the shame or the need to attempt the procedure a second time and is actually out there, pacted with the mushroom demon with pink text and maybe hearts are her symbol 👀 but that is such a crack headcanon that it’s more of a cool thought than an actual theory asdfghjkl)
wow, sorry this got so long lmao
Just the word crescent is telling me that it's her sloth, stardude since is apparently a rockstar he must be rich and you know how greedy rich people are, and well heart girl hmmm I don't know she doesn't look fat so I can't tell much for her.
oooh okay I see what you mean! I’ve been thinking of gluttony in this story to be more of an ‘overindulgence’ thing rather than ‘overeating’ thing, though it could really go either way! If it is an overeating thing, i’m guessing Michelle would make it creepier, more of an insatiable hunger? Idk but I’m terrible, I’m so impatient to find out who has who asdfghjkl
I have this totally random headcanon that heart lady is either gonna be full of sass or chill as hell and idek why i think it haha
Star dude is greed, heart girl is glunnoty and the last one is sloth
Ohh, maybe! Do you have a reason for thinking that? ^.^
I’ve been thinking for a while that star dude is gluttony and he has the mushroom demon, crescent girl is greed with the insect demon and heart lady is sloth and has the sewing demon - though I’m not totally sure how the sloth/sewing stuff connects lmao especially since there appears to be a sleeping pill (??) in the vial with her colour and that fits with sewing even less asdfghjkl but time will tell!
Edit: They didn’t fit bc I was wrong asdfghjkl Star dude has gluttony but it’s not the mushroom demon, it’s the sewing demon and heart lady still has sloth but she has the mushroom demon. Which makes SO much more sense bc gluttony can also be categorised as hoarding and such which is exactly what it looks like the demon does with it’s sewn creatures. Man, I have no idea why I went from thinking that to changing my mind and switching them but one person kindly pointed out that the mushroom demon has been confirmed to be sloth!
send me a theory/headcanon you have about star dude, crescent chick and heart lady and i’ll tell you one in return! Doesn’t matter how little or silly or if there is no evidence to back it up, I’m just curious about how everyone has begun to characterise them with very little information and whether there are some common themes 👀
