Oh Flipper Snacks I Should Probably Also Have The Image That's Just Applin On A Spaghett Here

Oh flipper snacks I should probably also have the image that's just applin on a spaghett here

Me, last night: alright, I should go to bed soon-

My brain: worm on a string, but it's applin with spaghetti.

Me: ...

Applin on a spaghett

I regret n o t h i n g

Im not joking around. I seriously want to talk about this.

If you have no sweet clue what in arceus' name I'm talking about;

This stuff clearly imbues the food with eternatus' power, and I don't remember anything that can do that except a literal hunk of eternatus' flesh. And you can cook with this in game. It also bears an unsettling resemblance to the red crystalline substance (membrane?) connecting eternatus' horns.

While we are on the topic, what about dynamax candies? They apear to be made of the same substance.

So are we not going to talk about the fact that you can eat what is probably eternatus' flesh?

I have two ideas on this:

One possibility is that Rose had been collecting a large amount of wishing stars in hopes of running experiments on them. It was known that wishing stars emit energy, so maybe he was trying to see if there was a way to use them as a renewable energy source. Eventually Rose would have accidentally stockpiled enough of what are literally pieces of eternatus' body for it to reconstruct itself. One moment it's a pile of wishing stars, the next they're glowing and clumping together untill poof: you now have one realy sickly looking god.

Another possibility focuses on how Rose owns the galar mines. If I understood the lore correctly, then the glowing gems all over the caves are used for fuel. Not only that, but considering how much time Bede spends hunting for wishing stars in the mines its more than likely there are a lot of them down there. Maybe while excavating a new tunnel the miners open up a sealed cavern with a hibernating Eternatus within. It would probably look similar to the cocoons of yeveltal and Xerneas. Something like that would get reported, so Rose would come to investigate.

Here’s a question I don’t think I’ve seen any theories on yet - just how did Rose even find Eternatus in the first place?

Decided that since I've made art of my other two trainersonas, I might as well make some art of my third, Ze'ev. She has a german Zamazenta that was a gift from my gf. Out of my three trainersonas she has the least play time because I'm waiting for the DLC to come out so she can have a rockruff.

She hasn't even gone to the opening ceremony yet and I can tell she's an absolute cryptid.

Surprise! Fan art of trainer daddy (pre becoming champion) with one of my 3 trainersonas, Larkin!

They're just,,, really soft boys,,

So I've been studying eternatus' anatomy and realized a few things:

1) the clear walls between the ribs are definitely an elastic membrane, would probably feel a bit like latex to the touch. (Realized this bc the membrane isn't flat like it would be if it was crystalline, it is concave like fabric pulled over a frame). This brings up a question about the membrane connecting its horns. I always thought they were the same.... tissue? substance? But the horn membrane looks more rigid.

2) there are freaking divots in its spine???? How the heck haven't I noticed that before?

3) the way its back spikes line up when it's moving makes me think it used to have a membrane connecting them, a little similar to spinosaurus.

4) the way it moves reminds me of aquatic mammals... now I have the image of eternatus with fins, flippers, and a whale tail...

5) eternatus is far more heavily based off of eastern long dragons than western dragons. This brings the long whip like structures on its shoulders further into question... just what are they?

6) eternatus' back legs actually make slightly more sense knowing that it is an eastern dragon, some traditional art of long dragons have similar hind legs.

7) those strange whip like structures on eternatus' shoulders... I still don't know what they are. When I first saw eternatus I thought that they were wings. But after watching eternatus move in camp I'm not so sure. They don't move like wings would, they act more like tendrils.

Also the way it moves its head makes it look like it's super curious and that's frigging adorable.
