I Have Been Possessed By The Spirit Of MatPat - Tumblr Posts

Welcome to Mause looking way too deep into things!

Now, I know Mod Bee said she's not gonna confirm any theories, but I gotta rant about this and it might help people with figuring this out.

A rant incoming; you have been warned.

I still haven't figured out the first image, but I do wanna point out that it reminds me of the sky in one of the early asks. ("What's the most interesting thing you've found exploring the circus?") It is most likely a stretch.

My friend suggested that this could be a countdown in some way. Whether it's for us or in-universe I have no idea. But hey, there seem to be cracks behind the clock.

Someone also brought up the gloinks and I see the connection. I think there's like one mention of the gloinks on this blog saying: "The gloinks... They took all my pixels..." ("Can I gift you and Pomni a hug?")

This could also just be a reference to the pilot and maybe the 05:00 is a timestamp, which in the pilot is when Caine mentions "DIGITAL HALLUCINATIONS".

Exactly 5 minutes before the end of the pilot, we see Pomni running through the offices, so that could mean something too.

The only connection I can see is that it could vaguely represent Jax cause he was in the gloink queen's lair which the aesthetic matches, Ragatha had a dream about him, hence the alarm clock and he is currently "broken", explaining the cracks in the background.

It being an alarm clock easily hint towards just someone waking up, but I don't see it connecting to the gloinks.

Also the likely connection to the pilot, in the gloink queen's lair, there are buttons on the walls; like Ragatha eye buttons! Also it seems that the clocks in the offices show a time around 5:00. Due to the blur of the background, it's hard to see, but I'd say it's 4:55.

Okay, I wasn't 100% about this cause I couldn't put my finger on what this is. I feel so bad for saying it. I'm gonna say it's a saddle.

But I knew I should've looked through older posts! Annie is the name of the roomba we spawned! ("A flower for your troubles?")

Since horse girl Rags is canon to the show now, I'm gonna say that it was the name of her horse irl and that's why she called the roomba that.

One of the asks where we see Annie actually is the one where Ragatha talks about how we showed up and where it was first revealed we are a virus. ("Did Caine give us to you? How were you afflicted with us?")

Honestly, the most obvious one.

Based on the human art, Pomni has glasses like that. We also know that this is about 2 weeks after the pilot and that Ragatha's been hearing us a bit before the ask itself. The virus started around the time Pomni arrived.

With the green, binary and flash drive there, it's clearly referring to the virus

The binary leads us to a hidden post of human Pomni and Ragatha with the caption "oops! You made a mistake you can't take back! :)". With both of them being human, the mistake must've happened outside of the circus.

The post and the png are also both called "remember" as in remember the real world, but can also reference the whole "Pomni means remember" thing.

Something I just realized is that in the image, Ragatha's red color is bleeding into Pomni. The bleeding is happening on the same side as Rags has her button eye and it's even missing here, plus her face is completely covered in the first human art. I'm pretty sure it's because Ragatha lost her eye irl too and it was Pomni's fault to some extent. That could also be the mistake alongside or instead of the virus.

I will say that the hardest thing about piecing this together is not knowing how much the three images link together. But I think I have somewhat of a decent idea of a bit of the lore.

The first image could represent Jax or the pilot, but I'll need help on this one.

The second image represents Ragatha and her life prior to the circus while also directing us to the early asks and specifically the one where first shown to be a virus. Rags even says: "I thought at first you were people who gained access and are not trying to help us escape" and that could be the original purpose of the virus. Especially if...

The third image shows that Pomni is most likely responsible for this virus in the first place. Possibly with the intention to counter the game and help the others escape, but it backfired and she ended up hurting Ragatha. Someone she likely already hurt in the real world, causing her to lose her eye.

I have spent like 3 hours on this! Help.

usually i would be very cryptic and secretive about the lore in this blog but i've been feeling itchy as of late to let people have at least a bit of an idea ... so um ... here's a treat + a very fun secret (:
