Ok, but what if Ralsie was Kris's Gerson's ashes
Okay, so everyone’s out here processing this latest episode like sane people, and meanwhile I’ve been in full detective mode—with a corkboard, red string, and a prayer.
After really looking at those stills… be fr for a second. Bobby? Buried alive? There is no way that man is surviving that mess. Like, I love him, but unless he suddenly unlocked Drax-level invincibility, this math ain't mathing.
BUT WAIT. What if—and I say this with all the seriousness of a cracked-out squirrel—the FBI (or some other shadowy government agency that only exists to cause chaos) rolled up and snatched him the second they realized he was still breathing? For what? I don’t know. Experiments? Secrets? Because Bobby is now the key to unlocking immortality? Sure!
Is it unhinged? Yes.
Is it more believable than him clawing out of a coffin in the middle of his funeral or Buck still somewhere doing yoga in his coma dream? Also yes.
Anyway. That’s where I’m at mentally.
Thoughts? Theories? Anyone else spiraling or am I on this clown train alone?
What if the peaceful property series we are watching on YouTube is the cut version and the uncut version is actually the BL........
Okay dumb theory time hear me out
So like I know that star wars is all but confirmed for kh4 and they're probably doing live action properties for unreality but shut up pirates and Tron are in reality so star wars might be a reality world
What if the properties for unreality are videogames?
The only thing we KNOW is from unreality is verum rex, which, in universe and out, is a videogame.
But what games would be represented? Disney doesn't really do games.
First of all: final fantasy. Yes I know 7, 8, 9, and 10 (and maybe more but I think those are it) are represented, but what about 6? Or 4? Or maybe even have unreality versions of those games, that could be pretty cool.
But there's another candidate. Who has kingdom hearts collaborated with that own multiple video game franchises that would be perfect for kingdom hearts?
Nintendo.
SMASH IS CANON BAYBEE
So when Sora is expelled from reality he's sent barreling across unreality. He either beats or gets his ass beat by Yozora, in sequences that we have no idea if it even actually happened or not, but in the more canon ending where he beats Yozora he just fades to white and appears in the final world again, so what if he went to smash which is like... A nexus for unreality, in the same way that twilight town was the nexus for reality?
Do I think this is what is happening? No, absolutely not. But I want to see mario in a kingdom hearts game. I want a monado keyblade. MAKE IT HAPPEN NOMURA.
guys. If Bella had never gotten pregnant with renesme and instead just had her regular period then would have Jacob lost his obsession with Bella?
I have an unhinged theory.
But I haven't read Acomaf/Acowar in a while, so I'm still getting more receipts and seeing where this deep dive takes me...but I kinda want to share the gist of it with you all because it's blowing my mind.
It goes along with the theory of Rhys being a villain and a master manipulator throughout the entire series. (Support for this and to what end is a whole other conversation).
Anyway, I think he's mind-controlling Elain.
In that, I think he's interfering with Elain's perception of her mating bond with Lucien. I'll get to the why in a moment. But, the current signs I have included to support this theory are as follows:
1. The moment right after Lucien breaks free of Hyberns Bonds and after Nesta was being placed in the Cauldron, we see that the guards "at last let Rhysand kneel beside me."
-Unhinged Theory Time: What if Rhys was colluding with Hybern (more on this later) and after witnessing Luciens power and the possible threat this posed to a nefarious, secret long term plan, he was "released" conviently at that precise moment. Perhaps, to allow him to secretly manipulate the Cauldron, or Nesta and Elain at their weakest points.
2. Rhys's chapter in Acomaf. Please note Rhys saying this line: "Perhaps Lucien being Elain's mate would help - somehow. I'd find a way."
-Unhinged Theory Time: That line potentially could sound caring. Although, we're left wondering what it could help with exactly as it isn't specified (taking down the spring court? Hybern? Secret plan??) . Whatever it may be, the idea of him seeing how it could help....not how HE could help them. Not how HE could help his mates sister, Elain, but how IT could help... makes me it read it with a more sinister tone. Because from a villain's pov ...it shows he is scheming about what to do with that bond. And how he can potentially influence, interfere, or do whatever with it
3. Elain, in Acowar. Talking in riddles. Feyre observes that she appears empty, silent, and hollow. (Usually interpreted as trauma response, grief, new SEER abilities, but... what if it's because her mind is being manipulated?) Also, all her curtains are pulled back to let in much sun as possible, "as if any bit of darkness was abhorrent. As if to chase it away." Again trauma, grief, new overwhelming senses/abilities.. but let's go to
-Unhinged Theory Time: What if her response to darkness is because she has shadows in her mind. Hence, the obscene amount of light. The incoherent sentences. The silence and emptiness Feyre is witnessing. Of if her perception of her mating bond is being interfered with, it would possibly explain her confusion and mental anguish.
I'm going to end this post by pointing out that Rhysand doing this could be caused by his distrust of Lucien. Not only, because of past differences, but because of Luciens' seemingly Wyrdmarked eye that can see through spells & glamours, his ability to do vast research, his powers, and his bravery of standing up to Amarantha.
Full disclosure. Just doing this for fun. This isn't my hill to rest on, so the theory is not as thorough pre-sharing, as I would like it to be...but there was enough there to make me pause and go hmm.
I have this theory with absolutely no reason other than the significance of May 1 in the fandom and vibes that SJM will make some form of announcement about the next ACOTAR book on 5/1.
