tldr: before retiring as a builder at the summer home, foolish had a dark past as a violent warrior, a “totem of death”-- a life which he later turned away from in order to find peace.

“EASY JOB. NO INNOCENTS. BIG REWARD. EASY MONEY. PEACEFUL HEIST.”
“THE PURSUIT OF PEACE.”
Description:
The video starts by showing a village whilst it’s raining and thundering. We see foolish then riding up to the village on horse. He walks up to a chest and opens it.
Then we see a shot of foolish with a totem in his hand, and later him with a charged bow. He shoots off an arrow and it flies through the air and hits somewhere as the screen cuts to black.
The sounds of rain and thundering fade back in as the camera pans over the previous village- now burning and covered in lava. In the background people are screaming in the distance. A rendition of “amazing graze” starts playing.
Foolish stands amongst the burning village with a totem in hand, watching.
He leaves the village and stares off into the distance as he sits on his horse, silently as the rain falls. (wearing medieval-like clothing)
“The Pursuit of Peace” - on screen.

[The Crimson Egg]
After being killed by Antfrost at the red banquet as a sacrifice for the Egg, Foolish wakes up in his summer home and the egg talks to him.
Post. Red Banquet Transcript:
Egg: Call me what you want. I have many names as you know, but you've forgotten.
Foolish: What do you mean? no, no ,no- i've never heard of you before. it wasn't that long ago that I'd first met you.
Egg: I am an ancient one. even more ancient than you. [...] It's not too late for you to join me. I will make you strong again. Go back to being a totem of death. And together we can rule, and create peace.

[Quackity Visits Foolish]
After making Las Nevadas, Quackity visits foolish to convince him to join his new country.
After foolish declined to join, Quackity pointed out foolish’s chaotic nature, telling him he knows “who he is”, and had researched his past. foolish explains he’s happy with his peaceful building life, and that he once had believed peace could be found through violence- but later learned that that kind of living only leads to fear, power, hatred and resentment.
Foolish: “The only thing I did was accelerate war, okay? That doesn’t work. So I pushed back, ran from it all. And this is good, I’m in a much happier place.”

On lukey's latest realm stream he played a song before he logged off the server- it gave me whiplash bc it's a song BBH usually has in rotation on his streams. Most likely not lore but it caught my attention ngl
The Corruption isn’t evil in the same way as it isn’t actually good, either. It’s a living organism akin to, say, a fungus. It just wants to live and grow and spread, and that isn’t necessarily evil; it’s impossible to judge it by human senses of morality because it isn’t human.
But it is important to remember that every single member of the former Kingdom of Null besides trLukey was either killed by the Corruption and its Calamities or corrupted and turned into Keepers. And, with the Keepers, we’ve only seen the few who survived with their minds intact. Most lost their minds and were locked away for their own safety, and all of them lost their physical bodies and their voices.
And then there’s what happened with the dwarves and the giants. From what I remember, the giants became corrupted and killed off most of all of the dwarves on the server, making it two for two in civilization destroying.
And then there’s what it did to a certain few outworlders, trPangi especially. It probably sought him out as a host because he was kind to it before the End Fight, but attempting to bring it into the ‘family’ ended with him absolutely miserable before losing his memories and him debatably more miserable up to the point of him getting cured. It erased his memories and took out his eye. It tried forcing him to kill trLukey and trAimsey enough times that even Lifesteal Pangi was terrified of hurting these complete strangers. The way he described it, the Corruption was trying to erase him and turn him into just a puppet of it.
Granted, trAce and trAsh are pretty chill with the Corruption, but Ash doesn’t remember anything but being corrupted and Ace is corrupted down to his very soul. The Corruption treats them both well, but also? Huge potential of it doing what it did to Pangi and making them accept it?
If anyone has heard of The Last Of Us, they know that there are types of fungus in the real world capable of biological ‘mind control.’ Is that evil? Not really, that’s just how those organisms have adapted for survival.
But when the Corruption has been shown to be capable of this kind of mind control- in a literal sense this time, how can we trust what it’s saying through trBad that it really isn’t that bad? It isn’t evil, yeah, but that doesn’t mean that it’s as harmless as it wants people to think it is, either. Whether it means to be or not, it has hurt people. Entire civilizations are dead. While that might just be a means of survival for the Corruption, it’s also a bunch of reasons for people like trLukey and trAimsey and the dwarves to hate the Corruption and what it does. People they loved are dead or seemingly being puppeted around by a sentient world-destroying parasite who, in its loneliness, has adapted itself into becoming something that will destroy the entire world in order to stop feeling so alone.
i was wondering why it seemed ppl wanted to cure tr!bad more than tr!pili, and here are some of my thoughts on it.
Pili1/mocha was constantly seeking death and wanted to die fighting clown. And when he died and pili2 arrivied, he said mocha didnt come back because he didnt want to come back.
Corrupted pili/ace is the pili we get to have, because of the corruption. While the corruption made pangi lose his memories, and takes away bads personality, to tr!pili- it gave him the will to come back to life. we feel like the original pili wants to use the corruption to live.
Meanwhile, sculked aimsey, sneeg and corrupted pangi- they were all negatively effected by the sickness. the sculk and the corruption ate their bodies from the inside, and they all expressed that they wanted to be cured.
and if pangi had been more hesitant against the cure and resisted it, i think even aimsey and lukey would reconsider forcing it on him.
but with pili, you cant really tell if he's changed/or is forcefully corrupted. to me, he's always been the same pili, but more purple. hes never quite not been himself- and weirdly enough, Pili seems happy. (not even current corrupted bad seems happy, no matter how many times he monotonously says it. )
Pili has his memories, as both mocha and ace, & it's unknown how or if the corruption is effecting his relationships, since it's something he's been struggling with even before getting corrupted.
The latest thing the corruption takes from him now, is his feelings about pangi- which is seen as a 'good thing' because of their toxic and destructive past.
I really like the way tr!bad points at the fact that the other realmers have the cure but aren't even trying to cure pili, and putting the pressure on the morals and resolve on forcing medicine on a virus that you're not even sure is a 100% bad or evil thing. because why aren't they actually trying to cure pili?
could pili even get cured? if he is The Harbinger.
and what pili would we get without the corruption?
now imagine the keepers pull out the contract deal and make tr!bad kill tr!ros or he loses a life... ultimately ensuring they never merge factions LMAO
I love this development because tr!ros not being sure whether green faction are enemies are not whilst watching her king constantly interacting with tr!bad. I NEED the landduo immortals confronted and brutally JUDGED. for the drama
Foolish being shocked/disappointed that tr!ros told green faction Owen was a spy, as if he's not constantly giving mixed signals with how he interacts with tr!bad. A "Rival" yet they hang out, he gets armour, getting trims together, helps him BUILD green faction's castle??? can u blame ros for being confused on the king's intentions with destroying green faction?
so what bad's been saying earlier on one of his streams, is that Q!Bad left heaven after reuniting with his children to fulfill his 'mission'. He doesn't remember what the mission is, but he does seem to think that violence or chaos on the realm is apart of figuring it out or solving it.
it could be a grim reaper's mission. but my thoughts are that tr!bad's mission on the realm, is connected to his original mission as one of the four angels who was trapped under the euphrates river.
- !bad originally failed his mission as a death angel.
- It said to the Sixth angel who had the trumpet, "Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates" - Rev 9:14
we know that !Bad was one of the angel's buried under Euphrates river.
The main purpose, and God's order, for those angels was to stay trapped under the river until the Sixth Trumpet sounds, which is when the four angels are released to slay/spiritually destroy a third of mankind during a specific prepared time.
But !bad never fullfilled that mission. instead, he escaped his imprisonment under the river before that specific day of wreaking havoc on mankind came to pass.
why i think that is bc we know that !bad's first kill was a guard/close friend.
if bad's first kill was a guard guarding him, then we can assume the reason for it was to escape his imprisonment.
If bad escaped his imprisonment before the sixth trumpet sounded, then he also directly disobeyed God's word, and failed his original mission.
- !bad joins the realm
after qsmp, !bad finally returns to heaven with his children and God gave him a choice. Either stay with his kids, or return to earth in another cycle of life/death in order to fully understand his original purpose.
to fulfill his duty as a death angel, the one mission which he ran away from before it could be fulfilled?
but in order to do that, he needs to remember. and he's got a horrible memory. :p
---
theory cont. I also think that's the reason he's always hungry for/craves human flesh - because at his core- his soul purpose was to kill/'eat' a 1/3rd of the human population. which is why he'll never be satisfied, not even after killing/eating entire civilizations.
---
Death, a grim reaper, the forth horseman of the apocalypse-- could all be apart of his mission, or the many different lives other !bbhs have lived.
For new twitter refugees Ghosties (and everyone else!), because I think it’s important to know:
We have our own moments here, you will see mean-spirited posts about BBH and others here as well. It is still a social media platform, there are people with bad or just different takes. There is toxicity. Tumblr is nicer than twitter overall, but it’s not perfect, and you need to be aware of it.
Main thing that makes it nicer here is Following tab, so PLEASE check that you switched your dash from ‘For you’ to ‘Following’. That way you will ONLY see posts from people you follow and their reblogs. It’s much easier to curate your experience that way. And in general, go through your dashboard preferences in settings, mine look like this:
But cater them to what you want to see (i would advice you to turn off ‘include followed tag posts’ if you don’t want to stumble upon occasional porn bot post on your dash LMAO). You can also turn off your likes and follows visibility, which a lot of people do!
If you need any help or advice, my ask box/dms are open, and I am happy to help :3
