Bapanada, party people

Howdy!

I go by many names, but here you may call me Fig. Welcome to my blog!

11. We go underwater

This one's just wishful thinking after seeing the other two big CCGs do it. Plus, how cool would it be to walk around on the Ocean floor, like a big ol' underwater aquarium! And Sketi seems to be based on Yeti Crabs, which live near hydrothermal vents. Eyyyyyy~?

12. Suzie's team will have some members from Quincy's old teams.

Quincy has a few members he hasn't used in a while, like his Hypnotl and Jelluminous. What if he gives them to Suzie, and they end up on her team? It would be a great way to show their deepening bond, and plus at least those two Doodles fit Suzie thematically (Hypnotl being possessed but then having its freedom granted in its Awakened form, like Suzie freeing herself from the deal, and Jelluminous reflecting her booksmarts and intelligence).

13. Player's name starts with R

Think about it. Quincy, R, Suzie, TJ. It's perfectly in Alphabetical order!

14. Charles dies

This one's probably one of my more probable theories. Come on now, what would cause more panic leading up to a War than killing the head of the company giving out free healthcare? Not to mention it creates a power vacuum and throws the conglomerate into disarray, making it easier for the Bad Guys to take over (divide and conquer). Not only that, but it would fit as Quincy's Lowest Moment, considering the whole reason for starting his journey was to gain his father's attention, and now he'll never have closure.

15. Joseph is possessed/influenced by Louis Severan

Joseph went to a weird meeting and came back different and looking lifeless you say? Could it be that he's... possessed?? A multifaceted theory to be honest. Maybe he mentally connected with Severan across time and space because of their blood bond and got convinced to join his cause? Maybe Severan is just hanging out and whispering shit in his ear, Devil On His Shoulder-style? Who knows!

6. TJ was made with Evil Intentions

At this point, we all know that TJ was likely made to stop Quincy from becoming like Zavier, right? But why? It's likely because Zavier walling himself off from others and never maturing as a person is bad for the timeline... but What If whatever made TJ just wanted to stop Quincy from eventually stopping the Doodle War? Admittedly this one doesn't make as much sense since Zavier is probably doomed to fail anyways, but it would be an interesting twist on the purpose of TJ's existence.

7. Riffraff, AKA Lucas Rimbaud, is based on Arthur Rimbaud

To keep it brief, Arthur Rimbaud was an IRL Queer Poet who was heavily influential in the Surrealism movement. While i haven't read much about him, this one bit from his poem The Impossible stuck out to me: "- But I see that my mind is asleep.

If it stays wide awake from this moment on, we would soon reach the truth, which may even now surround us with its weeping angels!... - If it had been wide awake until this moment, I would have never given in to degenerate instincts, long ago!... - If it had always been wide awake, I would be floating in wisdom!...

O Purity! Purity!

In this moment of awakening, I had a vision of purity! Through the mind we go to God!

What a crippling misfortune!"

Though it probably means something else related to Hell and Sins and Da Bible, the bit about being pure and having a vision of God really struck me as something that could have inspired Riffraff's character!

8. Joseph somehow traps the Blue String

We know all about the String's benefits, but what about its downsides? Louis Severan already talks about how the Player is a puppet with no true freedom, so I took it a step further: what if Joseph finds a way to lock the String in a certain place or different perspective, leaving their host body vulnerable? While the Player is looking at or spying on other POVs, their body is canonically spacing out for minutes on end. What if Joseph exploited that using an ancient artifact or modern machine? I thought of a magic Old Spinning Wheel because it would look Ancient and Cool.

9. Portia is Adopted and dyed her hair pink

Admittedly, this idea was made using the image furthest to the left, where her hair is more of a salmon instead of the light pink in the Oasis lighting (which is closer to Mira and Rebecca's pics). Still, a theory's a theory :p

10 .Teneson and Riffraff are working together/end up working together

Riffraff is sooooo scared of Teneson. He can't even be near him without fear of being hunted down. Heck, Teneson apparently even knows where he lives. So why hasn't Riffraff been caught yet? What if, they made some sort of deal where Riffraff is the scapegoat for Rebecca's murder, while Teneson "tries" to catch him and bring him to justice because they're both in on some sort of coverup? Ignore the bit where Teneson only started ramping up his search after Riffraff "kidnapped" someone.

Two in one theory, what if Riffraff and Teneson end up working together?? Both have people's best interests at heart (in Teneson's case, "people" means "the company"). What if they put their differences aside and team up to help save the world? Probably might end up happening anyways when push comes to shove, but we'll see!

The protag's name would be Roy, as a nod to ROYGBIV (colors of the rainbow), and to fit in with my QRST name theory

Their starter would be Skrappey, meaning that when fighting TJ, they'll totally have a Godzilla Vs Kong thing going on (and it adds an extra bit of salt to TJ since he *should* have the type advantage). Also Skrappey needs more love :]

Roy is colorful as hell, main orange color contrasts TJ and Quincy's Black and Blue nicely (as well as the Blue String) and symbolizes the color wheel!

Kinda based their personality on in-game information and Taruth3mighty's analyses of "Player"; real tired, apathetic, and in general just goes along with whatever they're told to do

4C hair, yeah yeah yeah, messy 'Fro, yeah yeah yeah! /ref

The pilot would cover the intro up 'til Roy entering Route 1, including the Quincy encounter and DoodleCo flashback.

A bit more of a cartoony/exaggerated tone to the animation

we've already seen characters join out of desperation and promises (That fishmen's friend, Alice for whatever benefits + her dad), so it isn't beyon them to pull TJ in. Although I think they would have to wait for Ambasa onwards to do so because I don't think Joseph has much influence in Icyridge except that one guy? and since it is cut off mostly from doodleco anyways

Thank you :]!

And that’s what I’m *saying*. TJ’s already left Icyridge to go who knows where, and what other perfect way would there be to establish Joseph as an endgame threat than for him to negatively influence TJ to give up on the world? It would be deliciously horrible >:)

yeah there's multiple parts, what the fuck I did not know I talked this much

1. Portia is a Rebecca Clone

Isn't it odd that Portia is forced to work her mother's job? And isn't it strange that someone as work-obsessed as Rebecca didn't have a backup plan in case something happened to her or her plan failed? BOOM shakalaka, Charles put Portia in that position because she's LITERALLY a clone of Rebecca, Super Science Friends-style.

2. The DK! Diamond Knight! is Quincy's ancestor

This one's based solely on character design analysis. They both have blond hair, a focus on the color blue, and really smug facial expressions, not to mention they're both rich (I mean, bro is coated in Diamonds). Plus the way Quincy stepped up at the end of Icyridge is real leader-like almost knight-like you could say!

3. TJ joins the Louis Fan Club

The way TJ's going, he's in a super vulnerable and fragile mental state right now. According to my TJ 5 Stages of Grief Powerpoint, following his loss at Icyridge, he's at an all time low, Depression. And you know what preys upon the people at rock bottom? CULTS. Joseph is gonna swooce in, influence TJ's mind with bad thoughts and false hopes, and convince TJ to join the Louis Fan Club (AKA the Blank Cult).

4. There's something after the world goes Blank

If the whole goal of the Blank Cult is just to wipe the slate clean, and Joseph says they're "fated to win", then what's the point of being on the winning side? What benefits are there if it all goes poof in the end? My theory? After the world is erased, after the slate is wiped clean, the Blank Cult gets to repaint the empty canvas with whatever colors they want (I'm getting all metaphorical up in here).

5. The keys have a Magic Failsafe

This theory came about after a conversation on the Keys. If DoodleCo needs all 10, then why can't we just throw them away, or give one to Quincy and have him use his Immense Money to fly one somewhere else? My theory is that the Keys are bound to the Guardian's soul, and once you battle them, it transfers to yours. That's why the Key Guardians have been so adamant about having to battle us (even if they don't remember exactly why). That's also why we can't just throw them away, because the Keys would return to the Guardian after they gets too far away from them, like a magnet (after all, why wouldn't the few Guardians who hate the burden find some other way to get rid of them if not for some magical shenanigans?).

The Discord’s really the only place I can talk with other Doodle World fellas comfortably but it still feels like a bit’s holding me back. Not quite fear, maybe exhaustion? Apathy? Anxiety? Meh meh.
