#my brain exploded

Now, I was reading everything just because I'm enjoying it and with the idea of afterwards trying to find out where DC universe is now, what is canon now and what's not, what crisis happened which one did not happen what was real or not true, whatever.

DC just saved me all that work (the finding out what counts). They have just announced that it's all happened. Everything happened at the same time. And they all remember. EVERYTHING.

Crazy.

Coworker, being bored: So... Would you ever like to go to Peru?

Me: Huh, why not? I've got a friend there.

Coworker: Really? In Peru? That's so far! How did you two meet?

Me: Oh, in fandom.

Coworker: What fandom?

Me, smiling shyly, knowing that the guy will laugh at me: Lego Monkie Kid fandom

Coworker: What's that?

Me: It's a funny cartoon with nice animation. It's about a kid being Wukong's successor and stuff. I really like it

Dema itself as we know it starts with the blurryface album with Heavydirtysoul. We see Tyler in a car (a symbol of his mind) driven by blurryface on the way to Dema. So Tylers fears and insecurities drive his mind to the depressing state that Dema is. The car, his mind, breaks down and catches fire. Tyler begs for someone to save his soul. Maybe he is wishing death yet he also fears it like the line "death inspires me like a dog inspires a rabbit" indicates. So he tries to flee yet his mind can't take it anymore the car completely burns but then Tyler suddenly sits in the car again as if nothing happened. He can't escape the trauma and he has to go trough it no matter what. His mind forces him to cope and his insecurities (Blurryface) tries to drive him to Dema again and again yet Tyler's unconscious refuses to give up and Tyler burns out.

After HDS we get songs were Blurryface appears. My theory is that Blurryface is Tyler's defense mechanism, yet a negative one. Blurryface talks anything Tyler does bad. And if Tyler believes it no one can hurt him with words or acts because he already knows what he did is bad. So its a defense in a sense. An example for this theory would be Fairly local.

Immediately after the HDS Jumpsuit sets place. Tyler suddenly wakes up in Trench. This is the song were we first encounter the Banditos and the Torchbearer as well as Nico. Trench is outside of Dema. You should not walk alone trough Dema since it changes reality. As I also said in the HDS theory, Tyler's subconsciousness tries to fight. This is why Torchbearer and the Banditos appear. Tyler's mind knows he is ready to fight against his Trauma again. I say again because I believe the Banditos are former cycles of Clancy who is not Tyler yet, but a mere part of him who lost against the trauma (a fall back in the process to heal from his trauma). So Tyler does also not know anything about Torchie or the Banditos, or Nico and the niners, or trench. He knows nothing but Blurryface. He is lost. He is also at first seemingly scared of the Banditos but also Nico since he doesnt know anything of them. He runs away, he tries to flee from Nico, the Banditos try to help him, Nico still manages to capture him and take him to Dema. A minor fall back in the process of healing and overcoming his Trauma.

But this is not the end of this cycle. Tyler finds letters and yellow petals in his room in Dema. Very likely from Clancy his previous cycle who managed to collect informations. Letter_Clancy was under bishop of Keons but Tyler is under Nico. Letter_Clancy lived nine years in Dema. But Tyler newly arrived with no knowledge. Yet trough the letters he learns how to escape and possibly defeat the bishops. East is up. Torchie and the Banditos help him escape. Trough the letters he also have gained memory (see the handshake and familarity btw Tyler and Torchie)

Morph is were we learn about Nico Bourbaki. Irl Nico Bourbaki did not exist. It was a group of mathematicians and one of these groups faked his ID into Nico Bourbaki. This is why I believe that Blurryface is all of the Bishops together as the album cover also indicates, and Nico is the cheap copy of the big thing that Blurryface actually is, yet Nico also is Tyler's biggest fear.

Okay i am lowkey getting like sleepy to type more

But basically Letter_Clancy is a former cycle like the Banditos, and Tyler takes on the name Clancy as a form of Rebellion. Torchie is his belived friend and his huiding light who always appears when Clancy needs him most. Blurryface is Tyler's insecurities, his defensemechanism and therefore the dog of HDS. Nico is part of Blurryface yet also Tylers biggest traums, therefore death of HDS. Clancy himself has to to battle everything and is afraid of Nico, therefore he is the rabbit of HDS.

After Paladin strait it is very likely that Clancy absorbed Nico, triggering Blurryface to come up and making Clancy forgetting everything, a nee cycle sort of begins and Blurryface album restarts but Clancy is still there he is not completely gone, he is deep inside but all he hears are Nico‘s and Blurryface voices. So we get Dark‘!Clancy who unawarely becomes a tyrann. The Banditos all think they defeated the bishops, and fail to notice that smth is wrong with Tyler. Torchie does notice, yet his words do not reach Clancy.

But he very likely will find a way to help his friend❤️💛❤️💛
