#yoyleite

So like. Yooperlite. Yoyleite. Pretty similar…

In real life, Yooperlite is found in most commonly Michigan and was apparently formed by ancient volcanic activity.

In BFDI, Yoyleite is found in Yoyleland, and it looks…. Very similar.

I’ve theorized about how Yoyleite was formed before, but I wanna talk about the possibility of it being formed volcanically, because I think it’s interesting.

Yoyleland is also home to Yoyle mountain, which is canonically a volcano. According to the wiki, it’s most likely dormant, but it could’ve been volcanically active in the past to form Yoyleite.

Yoyleite is apparently a non-renewable resource. GB and TB both say it’s extremely rare. It’s most likely exclusive to Yoyleland or at least very rare in other places, which also lines up with it being formed from volcanic activity.

Now, I actually don’t think it was formed from volcanoes for two main reasons!

Number one, it has time bending capabilities. I don’t really understand how cooled magma can suddenly start bending time. Unless Yoyle mountain itself has some sort of magical properties, I don’t really think it’s likely.

And number two, Yoyleite has been found in space in the form of asteroids. Ruby found a piece of Yoyleite in space, which makes me think it has extraterrestrial origins.

Now, don’t get me wrong, volcanoes DO exist in space, in our solar system! It’s not impossible that Yoyleite has formed on Earth AND other planets, and volcanoes are the main component. However… My personal theory is that Yoyleite CAN’T form on Earth.

I’ve mentioned this before, but I think Yoyleite exists on Earth due to an asteroid impact. It’s extremely rare because it doesn’t form naturally on Earth, so once all of it has been used, there’s no way of getting more without traveling outside the planet.

Seriously what the FUCK is up with yoyleite? We have a SUSPICIOUS amount of information about yoyleite, it’s literally not even funny.

Okay, first of all, its origins.

Yoyleite has been known to exist since the ancient yoyleians were still kicking. Yoyle city has an entire mine dedicated to yoyleite, and its name is literally YOYLEite. Very clearly related.

The contestants also hint that yoyleian tech is extremely advanced, which is probably also a result of yoyleite. The ancient yoyleians had a surplus of yoyleite, allowing them to make a bunch of weird crazy misunderstood technology. HOWEVER. I don’t think yoyleians invented yoyleite, because in BFDIA 6 (I think) Ruby finds yoyleite in space, and I don’t think it’s a coincidence.

Golf Ball has this picture in her lab, which depicts a piece of yoyleite on fire.

Now, this could imply that yoyleite has some sort of special properties when set on fire, but I don’t think that’s what it’s alluding to.

I believe Yoyleite crashed into Earth on an asteroid, and this picture depicts the asteroid burning as it crashed through the atmosphere. A long, LONNGGGG time before bfdi, the asteroid crashed into earth.

Some time later, the ancient yoyleians were mining and found the mineral, deeming it ‘yoyleite.’ They found out about its weird time powers and built all sorts of technology with it.

And… Now this may be a bit out there. But… Recovery centers exist, right? But ancient yoyleians are still completely missing, gone without a trace. Yoyle city is abandoned, and we know next to NOTHING about the people who built it.

It seems a bit weird. Couldn’t they just be recovered? Why don’t we ever see any actual yoyleians? Where did they all go?

What if. What if they all time travelled. JUST AN IDEA! I have no idea what point in time they would’ve ended up in, or what their reasoning would’ve been, it’s just some food for thought.

Then, in modern day bfdi, most of the yoyleite was already used up. Yoyleians used most of it for their technology, which is why Tennis Ball deemed it so rare.

Yoyleite is most likely still being used in technology though, specifically the recovery centers. I made a more detailed post about that right here if you’re curious

Anyways, the point of this post wasn’t to offer a theory about yoyleians. Instead it was to ask this:

Why do we know SO much about yoyleite?

Like… It’s a cool rock, but do we need THIS much information about it?

If I’m correct, we know where it came from, what it was used for, what its powers are, and where to find it. WHY???? Is it really that important? Why do we need all of this information???
