slips Teddy a note:
"RUN."
She does it only when Chuck goes to get water. Why?
Because she recognizes Chuck — he’s a doctor.
That means Teddy isn’t a fellow staff member, or a patient.
He’s an outsider — and she risks everything to warn him.
9. Chuck was part of it from the beginning.
Chuck appears as a new partner, but:
Teddy doesn’t know him.
He always controls what Teddy eats, smokes, or says.
He makes sure Teddy never speaks to anyone alone.
The patient recognizes Chuck as a doctor.
Chuck was never his friend. He was a handler — meant to guide him into madness.
Conclusion: Teddy wasn’t insane. He saw the truth.
Asman’s Theory presents a terrifying possibility:
> Shutter Island is not about guilt or healing —
it’s about how systems can destroy those who get too close to the truth.
Teddy didn’t go mad.
They made the world around him insane — and forced him to question his own sanity.
In the end, he died knowing the truth — and that’s what makes him the only free man on the island.
Thank you that you read my Asman's Theory (Esoni Usmonjon) the author.

Is losing your nose the first step toward becoming evil?
I’ve noticed a disturbing trend among villains—Vecna, Voldemort, Red Skull… all powerful, all terrifying, all noseless.
Is the nose the true seat of morality?
Just wondering if I should be worried next time I catch a cold.

Help with Research: Parasocial Relationships & Mental Health in Fandoms (Anonymous Survey)
Hey everyone!
My research team is conducting a short, anonymous survey about how parasocial relationships and stan culture (e.g., Barbz, Swifties, Kanye stans, etc.) affect mental health — especially for folks who already experience anxiety, depression, or obsessive tendencies.
If you're active in online fandom spaces or have ever felt deeply connected to a public figure or influencer, we’d love your input.
The survey takes less than 5 minutes and is completely confidential.
We’re hoping to learn more about how fandoms impact emotional well-being — both positively and negatively.

The Chimera Dimension in Astral Chain is the Earth of God Eater.
It's noted in the God Eater games, that whatever steps the human characters take, they can only slow down, not STOP the Devouring Apocalypse, meaning inevitably, the Aragami will win out, and it's theorised they will simply "reset" the Earth once done.
Astral Chain has a similar premise, the Chimera are apparently taking everything to be "stored" and then reset upon completion.
Astral Chain's Earth is simply the latest iteration of the "Reset Earth" and the Chimera are just Aragami from the GE Earth, as it's shown that Aragami eventually spawn humanoids in response to the God Eaters beating back the more animalistic Aragami.
With the Aragami winning in GE, they would have humanoid forms "saved" in order to unleash them straight away instead of mostly animalistic Aragami.
The problem the Chimera/Aragami find with the Astral Chain Earth is the tech has advanced enough that it doesn't need God Eaters and Bias Factor, they have the tech to modify and then leash Chimera, so it doesn't have to be turned into a big weapon, whilst also negating the general downsides of creating a God Eater.

pushing them towards its end goal - suicide (Room 1408 more overtly than Punxsutawney). I believe these tragic deaths are what provide it with the most sustenance, and it clearly has a varied pallet - ("I didn't just survive a wreck. I have been stabbed, shot, poisoned, frozen, hung, electrocuted and burned"/"The causes of death in Room 1408 range from heart attack, stroke, drowning." "Drowning?!")
But death is no escape. Phil simply wakes back up in bed. Mike, though he never goes through with killing himself, witnesses previous victims who did, and it is clear that they are still there, trapped in the time loop, repeating their deaths over and over again, forever.
How do its victims escape? By arriving at the same epiphany. After torment and isolation, they each learn to find solace in a selfless love of others. Phil ceases to be awful to the people around him, instead sacrificing his endless days to bring others happiness, finding love with Rita. Mike rekindles the connection with his estranged wife and sacrifices himself to spare her from the same fate - ("I lived the life of a selfish man but I don't have to die that way. If I'm going down, I'm taking you with me.") There is no indication why these should work (certainly burning the hotel room should have no practical effect, since the room his sprinklers, can freeze itself solid, and reset all damage to itself). But if we consider that entity derives its 'food' from people wallowing in pits of loneliness, despair, and self-harm, like some psychic pitcher plant, then it stands to reason that the opposite - community, love, and self-sacrifice- might be poisonous to it. And so it spits them out or flees, freeing them from the time loop.
My theory is that there are either two such entities, with the one inhabiting Punxsutawney being less overtly malevolent, or that they are the same. It ate its fill of Phil in 1993 before being repulsed by true love to seek more fertile hunting grounds in New York.

Since Pepper Potts was born in 1974 and in infinity war she was around 44 and I think she was a bit too old to have a pregnancy since you loose that ability when you're 45, so I think that Morgan could be adopted instead of being a biological child. what do you think?

Rate this modified version of gen 2 storyline (REVISED VERSION)
I am working to make a theoretical Pokémon videogame.
I want to put down the storyline, characters, teams, moves, items on the ground, wild encounter rates etc. of a hypotethical Pokémon videogame just as an experimental project.
I will not create and sell anywhere any actual game, because I fully respect copyright laws.
The basic idea is to make this game a sequel or a remake to Pokémon Crystal on a Timeline where Pokémon games from Ruby and Sapphire onwards never existed at all. It is thus a world with only 251 Pokémon, or actually 252, because I discovered gen 2 cartridges had enough room for one AND ONE ONLY more Pokémon, and I am working to create a new Legendary Pokémon as an OC. There are also only Kanto and Johto, even though a few new routes may be added.
Here is the storyline, or actually here are the differences from the original Crystal plot :
Team Rocket with its new Leaders has moved on from Giovanni, and Archer (who would be redsigned to no longer look like the upgraded version of James from Anime), the new main Leader of the Team, has a new master plan : finding a yet not fully defined Ho-oh related magical object with the power to resurrect dead Pokémon. He believes it will turn common Pokémon into Legendaries like Raikou, Entei and Suicune. He wants to create an army of powerful Pokémon to rule Johto and Kanto.
During the story the player will meet an OC character who will fight him a few times just like Silver the rival. She will have an Aipom as her ace, and will be a person who was raised in the wild, in one of the many forests of the region, by Pokémon such as Aipom, Primeape and Ursaring, which will also be part of her Team. She will talk about having recently learned to speak human language and having become a trainer only very recently, just in order to find the strongest of all trainers and challenge him.
The first TR plans are no different than the original, but this time after the radio wave event, the radio waves will be used on the teams of all TR members, even the grunts, and they will only have fully evolved Pokémon.
The player will have to fight the TR Leaders just as it happened in Pokémon Crystal, except this time they will have 4 or 5 fully evolved Pokémon each. After the player defeats Archer at the Goldenrod Radio Tower, after clearing the path out of fully evolved teams, instead of getting dismantled Team Rocket will find the aforementionated Ho-oh related object.
After the player beats Clair, gets the 8th badge, goes to Victory Road and beats Silver for the last pre postgame time, he/she will meet the aforementionated Aipom trainer once more, fight her, this time she will have 6 L 45+ Pokémon, and after losing she will join the player to go together at the Indigo Plateau because she believes the player could be the strongest trainer, but she first needs to see if he can defeat the Champion.
However the Indigo Plateau will be the theater of the climax event. Archer with also Ariana, Proton and Petrel, and over 10 grunts, all of them as I said with only fully evolved Pokémon, will have occupied the area, and will attack the player. The 3 executives will have one gen 1 Eevolution each as their aces. After the player has defeated all of them they will kill Jolteon, Flareon and Vaporeon and resurrect them with their magical Ho-oh related object, believing this could turn them into new Legendary Beasts. But while the three Pokémon will get back to life, they will not transform at all. It will be revealed Ho-oh resurrection powers are not related to turning common Pokémon into Legendaries and what Ho-oh did to the Legendary Beasts, who were likely not even the gen 1 Eevolutions to begin with, was just an extra bonus it gave to them as a reward.
Archer will fight the player a second time, with 6 L 50+ fully evolved Pokémon, and Tyranitar as his ace. After losing, he will revive his Tyranitar with the aforementionated Ho-oh related object, and then use the evolutionary radio waves on it.
Tyranitar will not evolve,

Here is the storyline, or actually here are the differences from the original Crystal plot :
Team Rocket has been taken over by Karen of the Elite 4 during the last 2 years and has now fully moved on from Giovanni. Archer, Ariana and Proton are her 3 lieutenants.
Her major plan is finding a yet not fully defined Ho-oh related magical object with the power to resurrect dead Pokémon. She believes it will turn common Pokémon into Legendaries like Raikou, Entei and Suicune. She wants to create an army of powerful Pokémon to rule Johto and Kanto and create a mechanicistic utopia with mankind as a new deity.
The first TR plans are no different than the original, but this time after the radio wave event, the radio waves will be used on the teams of all TR members, even the grunts, and they will only have fully evolved Pokémon.
After the player defeats Archer in what originally was the end of the TR storyline, this time TR obtains the magical Ho-oh related object.
The player will meet in the Victory Road a new character, an OC Pokémon trainer with an Aipom as her first Pokémon. After beating the new trainer, who will be the only one with 6 Pokémon except for Silver, Karen herself and Champion Lance, such person will join the player and follow him/her through the rest of Victory Road toward the Indigo Plateu.
After the player goes to the Pokémon League and beats the first three Elite 4, Karen as the TR Leader, together with Archer, Ariana and Proton, will wait for him/her in Karen's room. The player will be challenged by Archer, Ariana and Proton, each having a gen 1 Eevolution as their ace. After the player wins, they will kill Jolteon, Flareon and Vaporeon in order to resurrect them with the magical Ho-oh related object, believing they will turn into new Legendary Beasts. But while the three Pokémon will get back to life, they will not transform at all. It will be revealed Ho-oh resurrection powers are not related to turning common Pokémon into Legendaries and what Ho-oh did to the Legendary Beasts, who were likely not even the gen 1 Eevolutions to begin with, was just an extra bonus it gave to them as a reward.
A wrathful Karen will then challenge the player with a more powerful than the GSC one, Champion level team, with Tyranitar as her sixth Pokémon and her ace. After losing, an even more wrathful Karen will revive her Tyranitar with the aforementionated Ho-oh related object, and then use the evolutionary radio waves on it.
Her Tyranitar will not evolve, because even if I wanted to use the one remaining avaible slot I mentioned to create a Tyranitar evolution, there is no way a stage 3 Pokémon could have an evolution. What would actually happen is the revived Tyranitar will turn into a shiny, grow one level, learn a new signature move (there will be only one new Pokémon but many signature moves in this hypothetical game) and get a 1 stage boost on Atk, Def, Sp Atk, Sp Def and Speed. It will lose its control and start to destroy everything around, not only the Indigo Palace but also the mountains and forests around.
The new trainer character from the Victory Road will appear with her Aipom to fight Tyranitar but they will be istantly killed. Ho-oh will appear for a short while, resurrect them, and
Bittersweet idea for The Last Of Us Part III: Ellie sacrifices herself… and it still fails
After the events of Part II, Abby finds peace with the Fireflies. She has a daughter—Rae. Years later, Abby is killed by remnants of the WLF who hold a grudge. Because we know from Part II, they kill who deserted. They raise Rae with lies: “Ellie murdered your mother.”
Rae, burning with vengeance, sets out to find Ellie.
When she finally confronts her, Lev reveals the truth—Ellie didn’t kill Abby. Rae’s mission crumbles. Hatred turns to confusion, then to reluctant empathy. They survive together against WLF attacks.
Ellie, still burdened by the past, decides to try again. She volunteers to sacrifice herself—one last attempt to make her immunity matter.
Ellie dies and the cure fails.
Maybe the fungus evolved. Maybe they still don’t understand her immunity. But this isn’t the end.
Because science isn’t a one-shot miracle—it’s trial, error, and persistence.
Joel was right to save her then.
Ellie was right to try now.
And Rae? She walks away not with revenge, but with the seed of something real—hope.
What if the cure isn’t immediate? What if Ellie’s sacrifice is just another step toward it?

Banksy is a Girl
**The art world's greatest con isn't Banksy's anonymity—it's that everyone assumes he's a man.**
This proof was the least popular of my many unpopular posts on r/Banksy. Time to expose it to a wider audience and see if it was just that sub railing against evidence-based unmasking of their beloved Banksy, a knee-jerk sexist reaction that their iconic bloke isn't a bloke, or if my analysis is actually faulty (feel free to point that out in unflattering terms).
For those wanting to dive deeper into this rabbit hole after reading this post, check out my more extensive investigation: [Stu's Clues #3 - LAZARIDES X BANKSY X LUCY MCKENZIE - THE CASE OF COUNTESS LUCY MCKENZIE](https://www.reddit.com/r/Banksy/comments/153cfxf/stus_clues_3_lazarides_x_banksy_x_lucy_mckenzie/)
# The Smoking Gun
Generally speaking, I don't see my primary source—Banksy's former manager Steve "Laz" Lazarides—as particularly credible. Not that there are any credible members from Team Banksy other than Steph Warren, who refused to sign an NDA.
But **pictures don't lie**... especially ones like this from Banksy's 2004 Santa's Ghetto Show @ 121-125 Charing Cross London, where the photoshopped additions can be separated from the original capture. This is the martini shot (the final image) in Laz's 2019 monograph "Banksy Captured V1."
[Steve Lazarides, Martini shot from Banksy Captured V1 from the location scout for Banksy's Santa's Ghetto group show, late 2004](https://preview.redd.it/yr6zckluoyne1.png?width=1864&format=png&auto=webp&s=20ab502f57d591fca4cf2d2ab2bd443f0ea9c067)
# The Obvious Misdirection
The obvious addition is Laz himself, who took the picture and then photoshopped himself into it—a blatant misdirection intended to include something recognizably "Banksy-related" in the final shot of a book called "Banksy Captured."
You'd expect this image to either show Banksy or contain a major easter egg. It certainly ain't Laz, who was easily unmasked as a photoshop paste-in by simply photographing the book pages with my iPhone and playing with contrast—revealing the sharp edge around him that betrays the CG collage job.
[Close-up on Laz paste-in from Banksy Captured V1 martini shot\]](https://preview.redd.it/2qhfi7zyoyne1.png?width=1130&format=png&auto=webp&s=fcf6592bab886aa4a1738a794c6e3ceba44ccdf2)
# Why This Location Matters
Per Stephanie Warren's account on the BBC's "The Banksy Show," we know the artist plays no role physically installing shows. However, she did confirm they crowd-sourced reviews outside their exhibitions.
This means the only time Banksy could see show locations to pre-visualize designs would be during small private location scouts like this one. Afterward, they'd layout the design remotely like an art director while leaving installation to crews directed by Banksy's intermediaries—maintaining secrecy with only upper management and cut-outs knowing the artist's identity.
The fact they're on the second floor fits with the show's design: while the exhibition was on the first floor, Santa was hung in effigy from a second-story window in the room adjacent to this one.
[Exterior of 121-125 Charing Cross](https://preview.redd.it/jw95jra3pyne1.png?width=2036&format=png&auto=webp&s=9f577546bc926a0b0a25412e83e109eaee1d631f)
The windows in Laz's pic clearly match this exterior shot of 121 Charing Cross, while Santa was hung above the 125 storefront as shown below:
[Santa's Ghetto 2004 exterior](https://preview.redd.it/lenq96s7pyne1.png?width=832&format=png&auto=webp&s=7ada699f1481414c5d5df0295fcf42d0d8da4acd)
**Everything about this photo—except Laz photoshopping himself into it—screams authenticity.**
# Process of Elimination
So what makes this worthy of being the martini shot in "Banksy Captured"? Not the room—stripped to the studs with zero Banksy-esque decorative elements.
This leaves only the three women by the window as potential Banksy captures, which leads to the unavoidable conclusion: **Banksy is a woman—specifically, one of these three.**

A Plague Tale: Requiem’s Ending Was More Than It Seems (And Here’s Why)
I've been thinking a lot about A Plague Tale: Requiem, and the more I revisit it, the more I believe that Hugo and the Macula may not be gone—and that the game’s central line, “it will kill the Sun,” was never meant to be taken literally.
This theory isn't about reincarnation or sci-fi twists. It's about what the game—and the world of the 1300s—really meant when it spoke of darkness, death, and prophecy.
🔸 1. “It will kill the Sun” is symbolic, not cosmic
In the 1300s, the phrase “kill the Sun” would have meant something very different than it does today. The Sun represented:
Divine light
Warmth, growth, and life
Hope, joy, and innocence
So when the game says the Nebula "will kill the Sun," it’s not about destroying the actual star. It’s about Hugo’s descent, the loss of light, and Amicia’s entire world being torn away.
🔸 2. The Nebula doesn’t obey natural laws
Lucas says it outright:
>"All natural laws stop here."
That means:
Time and space are distorted, rules of life and death do not apply
What Amicia sees and hears might be a vision or illusion
Hugo’s speech sounds somewhat monotone and above all like a wise adult—more like the Macula speaking through him
And when he finally does sound like himself and a child again, right before asking Amicia to end it, that could be the Macula’s final manipulation—now that it no longer needs to convince her.
🔸 3. We don’t see Hugo’s death
The screen cuts to black instead
There’s no body, no aftermath, no burial
The mountaintop “grave” isn’t one—it’s a memorial shrine in a spot at the end of a danegrous route
In a game that never shies away from showing death or trauma, this restraint seems intentional. It leaves the outcome open to interpretation.
🔸 4. The Macula needs Hugo
Why would the Macula let its perfect host die?
Hugo fully surrendered, he is not in control
The Macula doesn’t die when a Carrier dies—it moves on
“The third threshold kills the Carrier” is just the Order’s theory, not a confirmed law
The Macula may have preserved Hugo, or taken him deeper into its realm for future use. He may not be gone—just out of reach.
🔸 5. The post-credits scene is not about Hugo
Some fans interpret the newborn in the modern hospital as Hugo reborn—but that doesn’t fit.
Hugo lived in the 1300s
The modern child is born centuries later
It’s not Hugo—it’s the next Carrier
The purpose of this scene isn’t to continue Hugo’s story. It’s to confirm the Macula’s cycle—about every 700–800 years—and show that the curse still lingers in the world. Nothing more.
🔸 Bonus: The Game’s Lore Reflects Real Medieval Symbolism and Prophecy
To really understand Requiem’s story, you have to remember how people in the 1300s viewed life, death, and the world:
Light = divine grace, innocence, salvation
Darkness = sin, corruption, death
A child like Hugo, tied to rats and plague, would be seen as a chosen or cursed vessel
Prophecies were common, and the idea of a child bringing ruin fit perfectly into Christian apocalyptic thought
Long stretches of overcast skies, storms, failed crops, disease, and famine were often seen as signs that the Sun was dying—a symbol of God’s punishment. These fears are directly reflected in the games. For example, in Innocence, an English soldier says: “This is a divine plague.”
Christianity and religious belief aren’t just background elements in these games—they’re woven deeply into the worldview of every character and moment. This isn’t a fantasy setting with loose spiritual ideas. This is medieval Europe, where symbolism, prophecy, and divine fear shaped how people made sense of life and death.
Even the Nebula, as a swirling, lawless realm of visions and memory, mirrors medieval descriptions of spiritual purgatory or hellscapes where God’s order breaks down.
Requiem and Innocence are set in a fantasy world with a child cursed with ancient evil and supernatural rat controlling powers but

Title: What if Doraemon Was Never Real—Just Nobita’s Dream?
---
I've been rewatching some old Doraemon episodes recently, and one theory hit me hard—one that I can’t unsee now. What if Doraemon was never real? What if he’s just a creation of Nobita’s mind, built to escape the sad reality he lives in?
Sounds crazy at first, right? But hear me out...
---
It All Starts With a Dream
The very first episode of Doraemon is called “The City of Dreams in the Land of Nobita: The Toriho Mystery.”
And guess what? It starts with Nobita sleeping.
Let that sink in.
That title alone sounds like a dream world, not a sci-fi intro.
“City of Dreams”? “Land of Nobita”? That screams "this world exists only in his mind."
---
Nobita’s Life Before Doraemon Was Dark
Let’s not sugarcoat it. Nobita’s life before Doraemon shows up is… honestly kind of depressing.
He’s constantly bullied by Gian and Suneo.
His mom scolds him non-stop.
Shizuka is kind to him, but not interested romantically.
He fails at school, at sports, at pretty much everything.
He has no support, no one to talk to, and no hope for the future.
Then suddenly, Doraemon appears from his drawer and changes everything. Sounds like the exact point where someone might retreat into fantasy.
---
Doraemon’s Design Doesn’t Make Sense
Okay, if Doraemon is from the 22nd century, why does he look so… clunky?
He’s short, fat, round-faced.
He’s afraid of mice.
He eats dorayaki all day.
He makes a lot of mistakes and isn’t even that “techy.”
Would a real robot from the future really look like this?
Probably not. But it makes sense if you consider this:
He’s designed by a child’s imagination.
Not for realism, but for comfort.
Nobita doesn’t need a hyper-realistic android. He needs a friend. Someone soft, fun, and protective.
---
Nobita’s Dream World
Look at what happens after Doraemon arrives:
Nobita gets access to powerful gadgets.
He starts standing up to his bullies.
Shizuka warms up to him.
He even gets a happy future with her—marriage and all.
Everything he ever wanted just starts happening. It’s the classic structure of a wish-fulfillment fantasy.
It’s almost too perfect.
---
So What If…
What if Nobita is just… asleep?
Or in a coma?
Or trapped in his own mind because his real life is too painful?
That theory actually makes Doraemon kind of tragic. But also… beautiful.
Because sometimes, when the world gives you nothing, the mind creates something to keep you going.
Maybe Doraemon isn’t just a robot.
Maybe he’s hope.
---
Not Saying This is Canon… But It Hits Deep
I know this theory isn’t confirmed. I know there’s no official ending that says it’s a dream.
But when you rewatch the series with this lens, it changes everything. It adds emotional weight. And honestly, it makes Nobita’s story more human.
---
Would love to hear what you all think.
Is this just overthinking? Or is there more to Nobita’s world than we realized?

Asman’s Theory: Teddy Daniels Was Right All Along (Shutter Island)
What if Teddy Daniels was never insane? What if everything on Shutter Island — the doctors, the patients, even his partner — was part of a massive cover-up?
I came up with an alternative theory after rewatching the film, and I call it Asman’s Theory. It changes everything.
This isn’t about healing a broken mind.
This is about breaking a sane man who knew too much.
Let me explain.
What if everything we saw in Shutter Island wasn’t therapy — but a calculated psychological operation to destroy a whistleblower?
Asman’s Theory is an alternative take that says Teddy Daniels wasn’t insane — he was the last sane man on the island. He came to uncover the truth about illegal experiments. They wanted to erase him.
1. Teddy is not a patient. He’s a federal marshal they’re trying to erase.
The official story says Teddy murdered his wife, went insane, and invented the investigation as a delusion.
But in Asman’s Theory, Teddy really is a U.S. Marshal, sent to investigate rumors of illegal experiments on patients.
When he got too close, they decided to erase his identity and break his mind.
2. The "staged role-play" is impossible if the patients are real.
We’re told that the entire staff and even the patients are playing roles to "help" Teddy recover.
That’s impossible.
There are over 60 patients, many of them severely mentally ill, some possibly violent.
People like that can’t follow scripts, stay in character, or keep silent if another patient is walking around pretending to be a marshal.
So either they’re not real patients, which destroys the story,
or they are real — which makes the whole idea of a coordinated role-play completely unbelievable.
3. The entire island is designed to psychologically break him.
The way the staff and guards look at him like they know something.
His partner "Chuck" suddenly becomes his "old friend" out of nowhere.
The missing patient appears, then vanishes again.
This isn’t therapy — it’s a choreographed mental breakdown.
4. His final line is a silent act of resistance.
“Which would be worse: to live as a monster, or to die as a good man?”
If he’s "cured", why say that?
Because he’s pretending to be broken — and he knows exactly what he’s doing.
Before he’s taken away for lobotomy, Chuck gives him a hopeful look — waiting for Teddy to confirm that he’s accepted the false identity.
If Teddy had accepted it, he would’ve been allowed to "live as a monster" — a "recovered patient" who killed his kids.
But Teddy chooses to die a good man.
He knows what will happen if he says that line.
He chooses death over delusion. That’s his final resistance. His mind remains his own.
5. He’s not even restrained — because they know escape is impossible.
If he’s truly dangerous and unstable, why is he left alone before the lobotomy?
No guards. No handcuffs. He just walks off calmly.
He could’ve escaped. But he didn’t — not because he was broken, but because he knew there’s no way off the island alive.
Even if he got away from the guards, he’d be hunted or killed.
So he chose a controlled death — on his own terms.
He didn’t escape physically, but mentally — he stayed free.
6. Food, water, cigarettes, and pills — all part of the manipulation.
Teddy only consumes what the staff gives him:
Cigarettes — from Chuck.
Pills — from doctors.
Water and food — only within the facility.
And right after consuming these, he starts hallucinating, getting headaches, losing control.
These aren’t symptoms of mental illness — they’re reactions to medication.
They were drugging him the entire time.
7. The scarred man is too specific to be a hallucination.
Teddy remembers the man who killed his family — the scar, his face, where he worked.
If this man is "made up", why so detailed and consistent?
Hallucinations aren’t that precise.
This man had to be real — someone Teddy actually knew.
Another piece of truth they tried to erase.
8. The female patient whispers “Run” — but only when Chuck is gone.
In one scene, a female patient
Did Tarre Vizsla Use a Sith Technique for Its Black Blade?
Could Tarre Vizsla, the first Mandalorian Jedi, have tapped into a forbidden Sith technique to create its dark energy? He was a Jedi, but maybe he experimented with the dark side to forge such a powerful weapon. What do you think? any other ideas on how the black blade came to be?

Theory: The reason people misinterpret AOT is that we're used to adult shows glorifying things, problematic ideals, or just things that the main characters to
I always assumed this was a thing in Western adult shows, but then I realized this is technically also a case in anime, too.
Attack on Titan classifies as an Adult animated show. Not like Family Guy but more like Primal. It's an R-rated series because of its heavy themes and gore.
In most American and Western adult shows like Family Guy, characters like Peter are always portrayed in the right for doing horrific things like abusing kids and murdering innocent people, and he never faces consequences.
You see it a lot in adult animated series where a character is always put in the right, no matter what they do. The only exceptions I can think of are Rick and Morty, South Park, Helluva Boss/Hazbin Hotel, and Bojack Horsemen where the main characters are given a reality check and held accountable.
It also is a case in anime, like the main protagonist in most animes will be a slave owner or a pervert sexual harassing women or trying to recklessly fight everyone around them and it's portrayed in a positive light, or there will be characters who do that stuff and aren't the main character and they're still glorified.
Attack on Titan doesn't glorify anyone. It doesn't glorify Levi for beating kids up and murdering MPs in self-defense; it doesn't glorify Eren committing war crimes like he's competing with Anakin, and it doesn't glorify Mikasa's obsession with Eren.
Which would confuse viewers and people who see the show.
What do you guys think?

(The Simpsons) The Segment 'Time & Punishment' from 'Treehouse of Horror V' is Canon
Now it has been stated that the 'Treehouse of Horror' segments are not canon to the main timeline, but here's a little theory I've been thinking about recently.
In 'Time & Punishment', the second segment of 'Treehouse of Horror V', Homer accidently travels to the prehistoric era after turning a toaster into a time machine. After killing a mosquito he returns to the present, only to find out he ended up in an alternate timeline. This happens multiple times, eventually ending up in a timeline where everyone has lizard tongues.
Now it may be absurd to think that this could be canon considering how grounded The Simpsons is, but time travel has been stated to exist in the main timeline quite a few times.
In S05E13 'Homer & Apu', James Woods works at the Kwik-E-Mart and states, "And then, the film 'Chaplin' I had a little cameo in that. I actually travelled back in time, back to the twenties, where... Well, I've said too much."
In S26E06 'Simpsorama', Bender from Futurama travels back in time to the present, where he is on a mission to kill Homer. This episode implies that The Simpsons & Futurama take place in the same universe, and therefore any instance of time travel in Futurama could also be considered canon in The Simpsons.
So we know that time travel is possible in the main timeline, but why should 'Time & Punishment' be considered canon? Because it fixes EVERYTHING.
With Homer hopping between different timelines, this means that anytime there is an inconsistency, it could be chalked up to a completely different timeline. This also means that all the 'Treehouse of Horror' segments can just be parts of different timelines.
But there is one more thing that always confused me about the original segment. When Homer travels to these alternate timelines, where is the Homer from that timeline? Shouldn't there be alternate versions of Homer? Well, here's a little part 2 to this theory.
The theory goes that the alternate Homers are also hopping around different timelines like our Homer. But if they were hopping into different timelines, wouldn't we see them. Well, what if I told you we have.
In S06E11, Homer gets banned from Moe's after pulling a prank. During the episode, a man called 'Guy Incognito' walks in and gets mistook for Homer. Now, Guy Incognito looks like a fancier version of Homer, just like the fancy timeline we saw in 'Time & Punishment'. Not only that, but there are lots of other examples of complete strangers who look and sound like Homer.
And that's the theory.

Don Bluth's The Pebble and The Penguin Rocko the Rockhopper Penguin has borderline personality disorder.
Rocko the Rockhopper Penguin who is Hubie's mentor and best friend has many symptoms of borderline personality disorder (the same mental disorder as Anakin Skywalker from Revenge of the Sith and Catra from She-Ra and the Princesses of Power '18).
Firstly, Rocko is a tsundere: he acted cold and harsh to Hubie initially. He eventually warms up to Hubie and comes to like him.
Secondly, Rocko is a reckless empath: he is prone to recklessness which leads him to endangering himself; for example, he jumped off of an airstrip in an attempt to fly, whilst ignoring Hubie's warnings not to, almost badly injuring himself after his attempt fails. On top of that he was stubborn enough to refuse Hubie's help. When Hubie went to help him after he fell from his failed attempt to fly from the airstrip, he rudely told him he doesn't need any help and let him be. However, he loves to save other penguins and he is a friend of all children.
Thirdly, it is heavily implied that Rocko has a dark and troubled past: we never see flashbacks, but he seems to think that the world is ruled by tyrannical humans that do not care about other animals. That could explain why he is hysterical on the inside.

The town of Punxsutawney (Groundhog Day) and Room 1408 are the same entity
My theory is that the town of Punxsutawney and Room 1408 are one and the same, an entity that inhabits an area, centralised around a hotel room, manipulating time and the local area to ensnare and feed off the psychologically torment of humans.
It is like a pitcher plant and humans are flies. It disguises itself as something banal and harmless - a comfortable hotel room, a charming rural town. Its preferred prey is cynical humans, perhaps because they take longer to break. It targets men whose stalled careers have brought doubt into their lives, whose cynicism has isolated them from loved ones, and athiests isolated from their faith ("And even if they did, there's no God to protect us from them, now is there?"/ "I am a God"). Even more specifically, it would appear to pick victims who work in creative industries with an audience - perhaps as a way of luring in the next victim once its current, high-profile ones exit their time loops as corpses.
Once its prey enters, the entity alters itself spatially and temporally to ensure they never leave. As Punxsutawney, roads become impassable. As Room 1408, the doors seal and its external and internal layout warp, with windows of neighbouring rooms erased and air vents leading back on themselves. It can stop its prey calling for help, if it wants. At the start of Groundhog Day, Phil can get no signal out of town, not via phone line, not even, bizarrely, via satellite phone - "Is it snowing in space?". Similarly, "electronics don't work" in Room 1408. It is capable of cutting or controlling the hotel phone line at will to isolate and torture Mike.
Once its prey is secure, the commencement of its feeding is announced by the abrupt activation of the alarm clock, blaring a popular duet from the mid-to-late 1960s ("I Got You Babe"/"We've Only Just Begun")
It then starts to torment them. How? With plumbing and climate. Punxsutawney is in the midst of a blizzard. When Phil goes for a shower, the water is freezing. The hotel owner obscurely remarks that "there's no hot water today". In Room 1408, conversely, it is unbearably hot. The similarly defective plumbing provides no solace, instead spraying him with scalding hot water. Nor the AC, which alternates between overheating and freezing him.
The psychological torment begins by manifesting as figures from the victim's past. What are the chances of Phil running into Ned "The Head" Ryerson, an irritating man he bullied in his childhood, in this backwards town? They attended Casewestern High, a town 200 miles away from Punxsutawney. This is not Ned Ryerson. It's the entity tormenting him. As Room 1408 it manifests as the victim's father in a care home - individuals that both victims likely have guilt over for past misdeeds (bullying/placing into a home), and both make veiled, mocking allusions to their mortality - ("as I am, you will be"/"do you have life insurance?"), thus priming the mind of the victim towards thoughts of death.
Part of the torment is the sheer banality by which it manifests, thereby forcing the individual into grim introspection ("It's gonna be cold, it's gonna be grey, and it's gonna last you the rest of your life", "Hotels naturally creepy places... Just think, how many people have slept in that bed before you? How many of them were sick? How many were losing their minds? How many were thinking about reading a few passages from the Bible on the nightstand before hanging themselves in the closet?)
But the main method of torture is, of course, time manipulation. The inescapable time loop. Punxsutawney is trapped in a day. Room 1408 is trapped in a single hour. Each reset in heralded by the hotel alarm clock resetting and blaring the song. Escape is always tantalizing close - Room 1408 even simulates entire weeks of freedom for its victim in the wider world, but, no matter what they do, they are always pulled back. The loop is a very real purgatory so that the entity can take all the time it needs digesting its victim psychologically,
because even if I wanted to use the one remaining avaible slot I mentioned to create a Tyranitar evolution, there is no way a stage 3 Pokémon could have an evolution. What would actually happen is the revived Tyranitar will turn into a shiny, grow one level, learn a new signature move (there will be only one new Pokémon but many signature moves in this hypothetical game) and get a 1 stage boost on Atk, Def, Sp Atk, Sp Def and Speed. It will lose its control and start to destroy everything around, not only the Indigo Palace but also the mountains and forests around.
The OC Aipom trainer character will appear with her Aipom to fight Tyranitar, but they will be istantly killed. Ho-oh will appear for a short while, resurrect them, and turn the Aipom into a new Legendary, monkey/ape shaped, 580 BST Pokémon.
The player will have the new Legendary Pokémon added to his or her Team as the lead, and will have to use it to beat Tyranitar. It will be a L 50 fast Fighting type with a powerful Fighting signature move.
After Tyranitar is defeated Team Rocket will be brutally assaulted and captured by the Kanto police and will be imprisoned forever.
The Aipom trainer OC will return after the player has just defeated Lance and still has to enter the Hall of Fame, this time with only 5 Pokémon, as her Aipom has turned into the new Legendary the player now posses. She will challenge the player with a L 60+ Team and her Ursaring as her new ace. After the player defeats her, she will recognize him/her as the most powerful, bow down as a sign of respect and go back to live in the forest as a Pokémon.

Somerset in Se7en is involved (not Mills as someone on here said originally)….
Somerset has 7 Days left on the job, he doesn't flinch the first time the killer takes Mills (Brad Pitts) photo and says they pay cops well and sympathize with the killer as a photographer, criticizes Mills for wanting a proof of death on the first murder when the third body is not dead, starts seeing Tracy secretly, is envious that Mills met his Wife when he pushed away his, doesn't believe in the system of justice anymore, is nowhere when Mills is chasing the Killer and the Killer seems to know where he is like soemone told him, the Killer leaves when Somerset yells out Mills, he knew Tracy was having a Baby before anyone and tries to talk her out of it, defends the killer when Mills calls him a lunatic, Somerset brings them to the killers place following the FBI information setup right before Jon Doe (Spacey) arrrives with the upper hand like he's been warned, he's also nowhere to be seen when Mills is chasing Jon Doe, Somerset is wearing the same outfit as the killer in the chase and rain storm, etc.
Somerset goes on and on about how he has mostly hated all his partners, I wonder if Jon Doe was a Partner he liked. He doesn't even seem surprised at the end, he just doesn't want Mills to Kill Jon Doe. When I searched if anyone had done this theory Gronk came up with this theory. Lol.

I can narrow it down further:
* The woman on the left is Holly Cushing, Laz's assistant who replaced him after he was sacked
* The woman on the right is Steph Warren herself (shown as a brunette in photos from that period)
[Steph Warren 2004-2005 photo\]](https://preview.redd.it/aoo5w3vhpyne1.png?width=1384&format=png&auto=webp&s=44bc6d4df6419b0330ce73b7800e03e619f7a724)
This leaves only the GIRL in the center as Banksy—which fits perfectly because on location scouts, the director/designer would naturally position themselves in the center, flanked by support staff.
[Closer on Banksy Captured martini shot](https://preview.redd.it/krrpyf9mpyne1.png?width=738&format=png&auto=webp&s=473788ba03a55c69aca49bfd2825429218d118af)
And there she is—Banksy. Her size, shape, hairstyle, and clothing style match my lead candidate for the real Banksy: Scottish artist Lucy McKenzie.
# The Obvious Objection
"But what about Robin Gunningham? Haven't journalists identified him as Banksy?"
This is precisely where the misdirection was brilliant. Gunningham wasn't Banksy—he was a **spycraft-smart Banksy ringer** who worked as the primary street art installer while serving as a perfect red herring. The perfect cover story. Meanwhile, the real artist directed installation from a safe distance, posing as the "computer person" nobody would suspect.
# The Countess Identity
The smoking gun? In the opening of his "Banksy Captured" books, Laz gives first dedication credits to a mystery figure called "The Countess"—while Banksy only ranks a three-word final tribute: "for the ride." Like one might write to an executive who merely funded the project.
Laz paints this anonymous Countess as his most valuable co-worker during the Banksy years and again a decade later when putting together the BC books. He notes the books "wouldn't have been possible without her unwavering support," implying she had say in what pictures could be included per his NDA.
This Countess was the seemingly useless "computer person" on Laz's street-art installation team. The nickname perfectly aligns with art writer Neil Mulholland's description of Scottish artist Lucy McKenzie's role-play as a "flagitious Goth Germanist" during the year Banksy launched.
# Why This Evidence Holds Up
This shot was only made public eleven years after Laz's split with Banksy and was published with the artist's approval—which Laz would have needed for his "Banksy Captured" books. This approval could only have come from the real Banksy.
If this were fraudulent, Banksy would have called out Laz's books after control of the Banksy IP estate transferred to the artist's management company Pest Control Office from the former art and exhibition parent company POW. That never happened.
In fact, there are clear signs Banksy actively supported production of these books.
**The art world loves its myths more than its truths. Lucy McKenzie pulled off the greatest art world con of the 21st century, and most people would rather believe the fantasy than face the girl behind the curtain.**

Perry the Platypus Secretly Funds All of Phineas and Ferb’s Projects
Ever wonder how Phineas and Ferb can afford to build rollercoasters, time machines, and even giant robots every single day? The show never explains where they get the money or materials — but what if the answer has been right in front of us all along?
The real source is Perry the Platypus.
Perry, a secret agent for the O.W.C.A., fights evil daily to protect the Tri-State Area from Dr. Doofenshmirtz. As an elite agent, it’s safe to assume he’s very well-paid. Secret organizations like O.W.C.A. would have access to massive funding, and Perry’s constant success probably earns him big bonuses and rewards.
Since Perry lives with the Flynn-Fletcher family and has a close bond with Phineas and Ferb, it’s only natural he would want to help them. But because he must keep his secret identity hidden, he does it discreetly — perhaps:
• Sneaking in materials and resources from his missions.
• Using his earnings to secretly fund their wild projects.
• Calling in favors from other agents or secret contacts.
• Supplying them with hidden technology without them realizing it.
This would explain:
• Why Phineas and Ferb always have access to advanced tech and rare materials.
• Why nobody questions the logistics of their massive projects.
• How they can consistently build these giant things so quickly.
• Why everything somehow resets by the end of the day — maybe Perry and O.W.C.A. clean up after them!
Perry’s double life isn’t just about saving the Tri-State Area… it’s also about making sure Phineas and Ferb have the most epic summer ever!
Conclusion:
Perry isn’t just a pet — he’s the silent hero behind Phineas and Ferb’s success. Without him, there would be no rollercoasters, no time-traveling, and definitely no unforgettable summer adventures.

@r_fantheories
it doesn’t invent its mythology from nothing—it’s rooted in authentic historical fears and metaphors, which makes its use of language like “killing the Sun” deeply symbolic, not literal.
🔸 Conclusion 🔸
Asobo Studio hasn’t confirmed a third Plague Tale game. In fact, around the time Requiem was released, the game’s director said the team had no solid plans yet. They wanted to first assess player response, and they were also feeling emotionally tired of the heavy tone the series explores. But he also hinted that if a third game ever happened, it would likely focus on Amicia alone—“pursuing something,” though even he admitted he didn’t yet know what.
So no, it’s not guaranteed. It may not have been planned during Requiem’s development. But what is clear is that the ending was left open—whether intentionally or instinctively—and the world and narrative of A Plague Tale still holds space for the possibility of Hugo’s survival, and for his and Amicia’s story to continue. Whether the devs want to use the potential of their creation in that way, once they start discussing and exploring it again, remains to be seen. There may not be a plan yet—but there’s room. And for those of us who saw more in the Nebula, the light might not have gone out just yet.
✧ Side note, from a personal perspective:
I’d find it a deeply compelling story if a big sister had to pull her five-year-old little brother out of deep darkness—after he willingly gave himself to it, believing she had died. From her point of view, she failed to protect him. From his, surrendering to the darkness was the only way to cope with her loss.
These games have already shown that their bond is stronger than the evil in Hugo’s blood. Not strong enough to destroy it or cure it outright, but strong enough to save them. Hugo passed the First Threshold without losing himself—he forgave Amicia when he could have killed her. That wasn’t a given. That was love.
Since then, their bond has only grown deeper. Even if Hugo has passed the Third Threshold, hope would still be realistic in such a continuation.
I’d love to play that story. One where love is still a force worth fighting with, and where they finally get the home and peace they’ve earned—because they never gave up. One where the world is saved not by the typical sacrifice of life or a loved one, but by the strength of family love itself.
For once, death isn’t required to defeat evil—because there are forces more powerful than evil, in life.

He wore a kufi and his pants above his ankles, always in loose clothes and refused to drink alcohol and kept a beard, like muslims do. Maybe not devout. I never saw him pray the Muslim prayer but still kinda interesting. If I'm wrong it would still make for a cool fan fiction.

[Half-Life] I know this sounds crazy, but… what if the Combine aren’t aliens? What if they’re us?
I’ve been spiraling down this theory for a while, and the more I dig, the more it makes sense.
Hear me out:
# The Combine don’t just conquer dimensions — they conquer timelines.
They don’t just jump from world to world. They’re described as a **pan-dimensional**, **pan-universal** empire. Dr. Breen literally talks about *gas giants with meteorological intelligences* and *colonized fungus stars*. That’s not your average space empire — that’s **multiversal**.
The Combine are everywhere… and everywhen.
# Humanity is weirdly special to them.
They’ve conquered species before — the Nihilanth’s race, the Synth creatures like Striders, Gunships, etc. And you know what happens to those guys?
**They get turned into weapons.**
But humans?
* We're given Civil Protection.
* We're offered *Transhuman ascension*.
* We're ruled by *one of our own* (Breen).
* We're *not exterminated* — just heavily monitored and modified.
That’s not how you treat a pest. That’s how you treat a **younger version of yourself**.
# Earth did something the Combine couldn’t: We breached Xen.
The Combine *couldn’t* get into Xen. The Nihilanth was hiding there, psychically cloaking it. That was their last safe space.
But then **we** — humanity — ripped open the veil at Black Mesa. We broke into Xen.
**That one act exposed Earth to the Combine.**
From their point of view, we’d just:
* Gained access to the multiverse.
* Matched their old tech.
* Crossed the threshold into *becoming something dangerous*.
So what do they do? They show up **immediately**. Seven-hour war. Done.
# The Combine doesn’t usually do this.
If we were just another species, they would’ve wiped us out.
But instead, they:
* Use humans to police humans.
* Only turn the “unworthy” into Stalkers.
* Let Breen represent the entire species.
* Promise “ascension” and “immortality” for obedience.
That’s not occupation. That’s **integration**. Testing. Sorting.
>
# Breen isn’t a sellout. He believes it.
He talks about instinct being a weakness. He literally thanks the Combine for **removing our ability to reproduce**, saying it “frees” us from our primal limitations.
He’s not brainwashed. He’s convinced.
>
He’s seen something. Maybe he was shown what humanity becomes.
Maybe the Combine *is* us — from another universe. A timeline where we *chose order* over chaos, and gave up our identity in the process.
# The horror? It’s not aliens. It’s us.
This is what makes Half-Life brilliant. It’s *Lovecraftian*, but modernized. The enemy isn’t some tentacled god. The enemy is **humanity, after it wins.**
We become eternal. Peaceful. Immortal.
But also:
* Soulless
* Synthetic
* Oppressive
* Completely in control
We are the **final product of survival at all costs**. And now, we’re trying to stop our younger selves from diverging.
# Final Thought:
The Combine didn’t conquer Earth because we were weak.
They conquered us because we were **close**.
Too close.
And if we made a different choice — one they couldn’t predict — we could become **something better**.
>
Let me know what you think. If I’m wrong, fine. But if I’m right?
We didn’t just lose the war.
We lost to **ourselves**.

Hunterxhunter - paristons ability
It would be interesting if his power was to apply nen conditions to other nen users to strengthen and cripple them at the same time in order to control the outcome of a fight. there's already someone with this ability, but It would be more dramatic if the conditions were random or unknown to the nen user and to pariston, and would definitely make him one of the strongest nen users because how the hell do you counter that. Your best bet is to lower yourself to his levels and fight on his terms
Pariston doesn't feel hate, he doesn't care about winning but doesn't want to lose either, he enjoys setting himself obstacles to challenge himself, he manipulates and hurts those around him because he likes hurting those he loves. It makes sense that he'd have a "supportive" ability
He did mention he has no combat experience as a joke tho it's hard to tell
An ability that levels the playing field would explain why he says he's weak
Personality wise he definitely fits transmuter and specialist, tho he never shows what he really thinks or feels so it's arguably hard to tell.
What do you think?
