The Webtoon Theorists [creds to Glooommy for this]

Do you know if the protect-squeerel-from-spoilers-at-all-costs-fastpasser-squad still exists?? Have they been doing for you in this season's finale what Punko said they did for season one's finale??

Omg hey there!!

Gonna be honest guys, I think it's mighty strange that Chase's dad is brought up so much more than usual, so near the finale of s2.

Like, we know he has been influencing Chase a bunch in the story, but his presence is so deeply connected to what's going on, the characters and their dynamics to the point that you don't even notice it sometimes.

Now let's get into it.

1. Chase's wish> George's absence due to death is what motivates Chase to try harder when it comes to fulfilling the Narratonin wish. He already knows what it's like to lose one parent and can't go through it again. The fact that he couldn't somehow save George has led him to believe that he's somewhat responsible to fix everything and be the one to save Myra.

2. Chase's dream to be a singer> George was a musician (specifically playing the trumpet). His love for music is what inspired Chase's own dream to become a musician. This is an important part of Chase's personal journey with independence and figuring himself out.

3. Chase's desire to fulfil his mother's material needs> While it is true that the Hollows were a happy family, it also can't be denied that they were struggling with money. George kept avoiding Dale's suggestions to find him a more stable job, which is partially the reason that George, Myra and Chase never had their own house. They just stayed with Ralph, or that's at least what has been implied in Chase's manuscript. This inability of Chase's dad to provide as much as he wished he could, has lead Chase to feel a deep responsibility to provide in his place. He wants to be the one to buy his mom a house and a car, because that desire hasn't been fulfilled before.

4. Chase and Buddy's journey> The one and only reason Chase ever considered seeing things from Buddy's perspective, is because of his father's influence. George words helped his son grow into the compassionate and tolerant person he is today. Ralph even mentioned that Chase's perceptiveness is actually a trait of George's. We see Chase navigating his relationship with Buddy with George's words as his guide.

Nobody has to be the villain, if they're trying their best not to be.

This isn't Chase's line. This is what George taught to baby Chase when he was younger, and what Chase later passed down to Buddy.

Chase gave Buddy a chance, Buddy HIMSELF even gave himself a chance to grow out of the label of the Villain people forcefully put on him, and all of that started by a phrase that belongs to George. Buddy quotes him and isn't even aware of it.

Season 2 related stuff

Chase's goals and dreams, motivations, who he is today, as well as his relationship with Buddy have George's print hidden right beneath them. And as though that wasn't enough, there's more vaguely George-related stuff being told in season 2.

1) I could be wrong, but I think someone on here said that "Stardust," the space musicians arc we've seen the boys in, is a book that George was likely reading to Chase growing up.

2) Right after that, we see Chase writing a manuscript, in order to seek advice about the Buddy situation from George.

3) An arc later, we see Ralph pointing out how Chase's perceptiveness reminds him of George. And then, when Chase is crying about how his family was abducted by the Ex Libris and begs Ralph to believe him, Ralph hugs him and says "Your folks didn't raise a liar."

These are many George-related stuff being said here. And even if you think it's not much, that's still a whole lot for a guy with less than ten panels in the comic.

And you know what that means

Violet is gonna rock their shit 🔥🔥‼️‼️

No clue how it's gonna happen, but the thumbnails of ep56-57 make it obvious that Chase and Nox are in the Old Man's estate. That means that likely all of the keys will be located there, with Violet being the only exception.

If the guys who keynapped Silver, Bronze and Goldie managed to get to the Ex Libris base already (which they most definitely did), then Violet is the only key that remains outside of their territory. That normally could be a direct attack to Violet's reality and sanity, since we know that she feels responsible for everyone, but I think she's gonna handle this very well.

Perhaps a direct physical attack against Wave (because of the heart symbol of Rose, the key he's using) on Violet's part is what's the statue scene in Party Crashers is meant to foreshadow. But this leaves the question: How?

How is Violet meant to directly attack the Ex Libris, if she's tiny and apart from her family?

Well I'm not sure, but I'd like to point out that in the thumbnail of episode 58 we can see a very humanised version of Nox next to Chase. This should only be possible to do if they enter a book, as far as we know, but I struggle to imagine a reason (or way) that both Chase and Nox would do that.

They don't have the number of keys required for that as of now and, if anything, getting into a book together right now would make them appear more vulnerable, since anyone could just grab the book and kidnap them too.

So, I'm gonna cling on this assumption that somehow Nox might get a human transformation in the real world for a bit. And we know Violet is good at transforming people inside books (as Nox conveniently mentioned in Little Shadows), so perhaps she can demonstrate her powers without being limited into the fictional realm. That way she might actually give Nox an ability to fight alongside Chase, which is a huge help.

But I admit, I'd like to see her in action too, if possible at some point.

Yesssss you wanna obsess over them and talk about how stargoth-coded they are

Thank you for the ask!!

We're not dumb guys. It doesn't take much to put two and two together, if you keep warning us about a certain ship near the finale of the season. Now, do I think I have it all figured out? No, possibly not at all. However, your reactions to Wave x Deacon are enough to partially validate some of my theories (not saying which ones, I have posted a bunch and discussed many more with people outside of tumblr). I don't want my content to subconsciously be leaning on information you have implied, rather than my own perception of the events within the comic, so I'm stopping here for a bit.

Human Nox shows up in his armour with a huge bouquet of flowers in AMU, ready to reveal his identity to Chase. He doesn't succeed, so he tries again in today's episode. It's not fancy this time, but the thought is still the same: he showed up wearing his armour and has a gift for Chase.

Instead of a fictional expensive bouquet and flowers with various specific meanings, it's just one little wild flower now. That's all he can carry, all he can offer in his state. No meanings and symbols like Violet added in his appearance, just the flower itself.
