We like to imagine that Player is all chummy chummy with Riffraff especially with how he's loved all around in the fandom, we project onto Player. But a certain Icyridge Help Center Request reveals that Player is at most tolerating him. Or at worst, just straight up dislikes him. Yet Player has enough respect to him that they don't really dead name him and in fact just calls him by how he wants to be called, "Mr. Riffraff" And outright says that he doesn't go by Lucas Rimbaud anymore. Player for all their thoughts, at least respects him enough to not blatantly keep calling him by his old name. Even if they're just confused about him.
Honestly... even if Captain Silvier was biased. I don't really blame him. I mean look at his point of view. This random tamer just showed up, they were sent by Desmond who went behind his back, and this random tamer is saying they're going to protect Anna without even having met her before. Yeah, I would be suspicious and wary too. And keep in mind, Player is quite literally just giving him PROLONGED EYE CONTACT the entire time without speaking for most of the meeting.

Unless you've gotten used to their constant staring, like Suzie, Quincy and TJ have. It's going to look really uncomfortable and awkward. Player has some major balls to just stare at everyone. I mean they can basically do this and get away with it because ain't no one going to try and speak up about it without getting their ass beat.

Funny thing When you shorten the 'blue strings' it becomes bs ... This means Player is half bs, which... makes sense. They are filled with bs that they can do crazy shit without any problem. We are the bs. We cause the bs happening with them. It has to be intentional. if not I'm believing it is.
The cutscene where Player and Quincy break Suzie out of jail is funny to me because of the RichCandy choice Like Player is obv trying to make Quincy look good and get him to capitalize on it yet he's like, "no no no that's not what happened, here's what happened" Like it's nice you aren't taking all the credit for yourself and being more humble about it... BUT LIKE BRO- Player is TRYING to get him make him look better and get Suzie to like him since they've picked up the idea that Quincy likes Suzie. Yet he screws it up without even knowing it 💀💀 Like how does he fumble the bag twice in a row ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ Quincy got negative rizz 😞😞 He's such a boyfailure
As much as we like to call TJ the anomaly because Zavier told us so. If anyone's out of place within the group, it's Player. Like they are the odd one out of them all. They don't even have an official name like TJ, they don't have much free will like TJ, and they've been chosen by fate to take on a role they never asked but unlike TJ, being unable to break free from it. You can't tell me that Player isn't also the odd one in the group. At least TJ is normal somewhat. There's barely anything normal about Player. Despite it all... they still think TJ is their friend. Even if he's an anomaly, even if he isn't meant to be there, they still believe he is their friend. Even if he may hate them. (Which I suspect he doesn't) All they want is not a rival, but a friend.
Just discovered that my fucking phone did not save the fic I finished. I want to just cry. ...All the vibes. And it's gone. Why... why is today so terrible.
I need some more Player Appreciation around here. It makes me sad that there's barely any fics with Player hanging out with their friends. Writers always make an excuse for Player not being there, when likely all they want is to hang out with their friends without the constant threat of something over their shoulder. In fact, there are multiple fics that make other characters take on the help center requests instead. It makes me believe that the fandom doesn't like Player despite the fact out of all the characters, we quite literally see their actions and how it affects others. Yet writers choose to ignore them. So many people's lives have been just changed for the better or even just made a bit brighter all due to Player's actions. > Take Alice, her current arc is that she's learning to stand up for herself, even taking up battling and sticking by her love of ice types even when ice is considered a weak type. > Even take Wayfarer Jack, he finally found purpose in battling Player and just giving him something to do. > Or even take Cassidy, who found a friend in Player even predicting they would take her request. Even the main cast has different views on Player! > Quincy views Player as one of their close friends, being there when he was having trust issues. Quincy speaks up about being back-up and is upset when Player faces Tinsley, likely because he feels useless, not being able to take that weight off their shoulders. > Suzie of course is best friends with Player, no questions asked. She hypes them up and keeps bringing them back into the conversation and never leaves them out of it. Suzie wants her own doodle after the Oasis likely due to seeing Player do everything for her. > Tj right now, might be going through a villain arc, but he considers Player his friend, he's just disappointed in himself that he can't stand next to them or even beat them once. Player is such a sweetheart and a saint. Doing so much. Yet barely being recognized for it.
Just thinking about it now...
Is the current timeline like... the only timeline where things are going to go right? Kinda like in Gravity Falls where it's revealed that there's only ONE timeline where Mable and Dipper go home together. Like for all we know, the reason why so many people assume Desmond is going to die is due to previous timelines. Like Somniere telling Riffraff what happened in previous timelines. And we know that in previous timelines, things did not go well for Erika. Like she got beat by Zavier pretty badly. But only when TJ distracts him and gets Chronos to fuck off, can the third key be obtained. Considering how drastically different the timeline is. What if this is the only timeline where Desmond survives, since TJ is around. Food for Mind.
I just had a mini lore episode and had to post it on Reddit since it was too long for Tumblr. Some Food for Mind. Long story short. The Blue Strings isn't just a way to explain why we're here. It's also like a very tragic idea of war. Forcing someone to be a soldier to protect those they care about. Because the Blue Strings essentially makes those it attached to, a soldier. Since like there was more than one vessel for the Blue Strings. The Ten Heroes. I thought about "What if there were others, what if there were children like Player, what if they didn't make it?" Since War involves lots of death and loss. Especially for the Doodle War. Safe to say shit got dark fast.
Doodle World Executive Headcanons!
I headcanon that Charles writes in really old cursive, like the Declaration of Independence type of cursive. I mean he is one of the founders of DoodleCo, and he's a father. And I imagine that Teneson is the only one that can read his writing, not even Rebecca and Lucas can read his writing. Teneson is the only person Charles trusts to do anything when he isn't there to do it. So, Cortés ain't getting that position lmao. Cortés is a big fan of battling and trains his Adventure Unit really hard is because he loves the attention and how much it boosts his ego. And if someone boosts his ego, he'll tolerate them just a bit more than other people. "Yami" uses his sword like a walker, because he's that old. Old geezer. Ellen likes shiny objects and has loads of shiny rocks from Portia. I mean, in canon Ellen already has like... 500 misprints 💀💀 It's clear she likes shiny things. Quincy even gives her shiny coins he has when he was a kid, and she still has them. Joseph gave Ellen a ✨Misprint✨ Louis in order to impress her and get her to like him (he really trying to be Lucas) She took the Louis because she likes misprints but she just doesn't... like Joseph ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ When making Artificial Runestones, since there was no reference for how to make one, Portia decided to make the ones that needed some extra strength, like Owol, Calamander, Hypnotl. (don't ask me how tf Portia knew Ostigon existed since I have no idea)
As we know, Zavier has tried to kill Player at least three times now But... as I look back in the Oasis, I realize that once Zavier knows he can't rewind time and fix any mistakes he might make He starts being more cautious, and less aggressive, as his mistakes can become permanent Which got me thinking... Is the reason why he's so willing to kill Player, is because he thinks he can bring them back after getting the keys from them. Like he is so casual about it, he isn't worried about what he says or does, because "the ends justify the means" and he can just rewind time. Or so he thinks. But considering how he can't do that. Imagine if Zavier managed to kill Player and obtain the keys. Then finds out he can't rewind this timeline. He doesn't hate Player, in fact he's like "Cya around" after sending Qilintel to bite their ankles. Considering that Quincy is friends with Player, like he definitely cares about them. Zavier just finding out he killed them permanently... Oof
We all know that Suzie's future interaction with Zavier is going to be absolutely crushing to everyone. You wanna know why? The build up. Suzie says right after the Oasis that she's never met Zavier before. Which considering what happened with TJ after meeting him, it's already a cause for alarms. But not only that. Suzie says the line that made everyone go nuts. "Thanks, you're my savior" Like saying that to Quincy. Everyone's like "Omg she said it!1!! That has to mean that Zavier is Quincy since he says his people call him that!" ... wait... He says his people call him their savior. Suzie calls him her savior. oh no. their interaction is going to be even more painful than I could ever predict...
I have come forth with a new sudden revelation. It's pretty much stated that nothing gets passed Suzie, no question left unanswered, she's pretty much getting as much info as she can get in the shortest period of time. But then I thought. Why? Why does she ask so many questions? Sure, it could be because she's the smart one of the group, the one who thinks of a plan quickly and has probably read the entire dictionary for fun. But I have some Food for Mind. What if Suzie asks so many questions is because she's afraid of missing something crucial and losing something. Let me cook. Suzie lost her tastebuds due to an error on Von Sweets' part and likely her parents didn't care much and didn't ask any questions or enough questions. Which resulted in her losing her tastebuds. Likely causing her to want to find out everything about something as much as she can, because she might lose something important to her again.
Icyridge Part 2 spoilers from wish_z on Discord

The fact that Anna has her hood down in this scene makes it feel like she's standing up to Captain Silvier. And also because she has a fucking DoodleBoy. I said in one of my hc that Player has a DoodleBoy, and its fucking canon that those exist in universe. I feel like Desmond gave her that, just a hunch. Imagine Player and Anna playing... Doodle Red and Blue would be funny. They just trade each other misprints. She mad that Player ain't the one protecting her, now she can't have a gaming buddy /j Anna definitely being girlboss here. Like with how this is framed, this is definitely Anna saying smth to Capt. Silvier to get him to do something. Oh and TJ's there too. He's just wondering what the fuck is going on between these two.
I have some Food for Mind. Y'know when Suzie mentioned someone promising her tastebuds back and that's the reason why she's in the Key Hunt in the first place? I have a sneaking suspicion that it's Joseph Bright. I mean who else makes such outlandish promises that sound too good to be true and relates to the Key Hunt. TJ says, "Me, the pathetic one? You are the pathetic one. Why are you even following us around? You aren't participating in the key hunt, you aren't even a tamer." And Suzie says, "...I was promised a cure to my broken tastebuds by someone." And while we don't know who that could be. I'm pretty sure it was Joseph. I mean Suzie is following us because we're collecting keys, who else wants keys? Joseph. And we've seen him promise stuff to characters like Julius about giving them an escape from reality. Things that are too good to be true. And I've already discussed here how I believe Joseph is making Charles believe he can bring back Rebeccca. A promise too good to be true. I believe Joseph is doing the same with Suzie. Just some Food for Mind. Also he's likely been to Von Sweetsvillie before the story takes place, there is some graffiti with the saying 'Return to Blank' or smth like that. And he goes there to visit Number Three.
Skimming through the entirety of the Archives. I see a distinct lack of Negative Karma! Player in the fics and that surprises me. With nearly 200 fics, you'd think there'd be one with Player acting like a total asshole. Acting like Cortés. But there isn't... Now there is a question some of y'all might be asking... 'What or who is Negative Karma! Player?' you ask. It's simply the version of Player that chooses the 'wrong' or 'bad' karma option. Being a bad person such as... >Destroying someone's family heirloom >Kicking them and laughing at that same person for no reason >Or just blatantly being an asshole towards other people, even towards people that are supposed to be their friends Negative Karma! Player is the complete opposite of Positive Karma! Player or what I call as the normal Player, the one you often see in fics. Understandable, this shows that a lot of the authors in the Archives choose the good option rather than be a blatant asshole. Since they depict their version of Player as more in line with the Positive Karma Route.
I was just listening to some Pokémon and had this Food for Mind Rebecca's last project was her Artificial Runestone project before she ended up dying, which made me question a few things 1) 'Why did she start the project in the first place?' 2) 'What could've happened during the project that led to her demise?' But to answer these things, we need an answer for just how or why she does things. From what we know that the healing stations that DoodleCo uses is highly likely made by Rebecca. And the printing machines are definitely by her. While I may not be able to bring an answer to the second one. I have an idea for the first one. ... ... My initial theory for DoodleCo's foundation is that Rebecca wanted to help doodles and people, by giving them quick access to healing, researching more about them, helping doodles. That last part. Helping doodles Keep in Mind that Rebecca's last project involved Artificial Runestones, things that help and allow Doodles that served on Verdrok's side of the war to push beyond their limits just like the Doodles that were on Somniere's side of the war. But specifically, to weak doodles. Such as Calamander. Speaking of which, it's stated that in its Doodlepedia entry. 'Many believe that without the aid of DoodleCo, its species would not continue to exist.' Considering how much DoodleCo is described as altruistic, this likely refers to both Rebecca and Charles. Rebecca is for the doodles and Charles is for the people. I have this idea that Rebecca started the Artificial Runestone project not just to help Doodles to become better in battle, but to help the doodles with whatever problem they had. Such as helping Calamander by making it feral, aggressive, so it wouldn't be eaten anymore along with making it bigger. Or Hypnotl by helping it no longer suffer from the parasite attached to its head. And Portia is merely following in her mother's footsteps in that regard. Helping these doodles overcome their inherit weaknesses. She's trying to do what her mother couldn't, respecting her last wishes. All she wanted is to make this doodle world a bit better. ... ... ... But I doubt that Rebecca ever thought of the heavy burdens her legacy and her death would leave to those around her.
I have some Food for Mind I thought I should share with y'all All of the Founder Trio, such as Charles, Rebecca and Lucas They all desire for something relating to Somniere The Doodle that represents Dreams or Fantasy in this case Something that's meant to be a metaphor for something you want to have but just not being good for you Somniere was on the side with the Blank Cultists, hence why Joseph, who is a Blank Cultist, wants to free Somniere. But keep in Mind... The existence of Runestones, the thing that Rebecca studied and tried to replicate through technology, the reason for the Runestone's existence is due to that war. And specifically, Somniere's side's doodles falling amidst the war and the souls of the fallen clumping together and entering stones. And then just before Rebecca dies. Lucas begins to have visions of the future, from Somniere, and then he wants to free it. For some reason. To confront it about what it's done, perhaps? To try and wish for a better future? Or change the past? Speaking of changing the past... I've been preaching that Charles is doing everything for Rebecca, listening to Joseph's words like a person called Julius did. About giving him 'an escape from reality' which considering what I've been saying about Joseph on Reddit about him wanting to free Somniere which is the doodle that represents dreams. All three of the Founder Trio has a key flaw. They forget the present. They're either stuck in the past or look way into the future, rather than come to terms with the present, or stay grounded in reality. Rebecca looked at the past and tried to mix the past and future technology. Lucas/Riffraff saw the future, tried to change the past, refuses to acknowledge the present, only wishes to see the future of what happens when Player gets the keys. Charles is likely stuck in the past, not moving on from what happened to Rebecca, ignoring or staying away from the present for the most part, and wants to the Keys in order to either change the future or fix the past. All of them connected to Somniere.
I have this Food for Mind Joseph was created with the ability to see the Blue String by the Blank Cultists so that way when they return, they'll have the ability to find someone with it They can win the new war just like Verdrok's side did and I have a sneaking suspicion that they specifically got someone from Rosemary's bloodline It's said after all that only Rosemary's bloodline definitively has it ... ... Honestly its fitting that Joseph and Rosemary are viewed as weird by most people and eccentric They're related after all and not just in the ability to break the fourth wall They're quite literally stated to be blood relatives ... ... Some extra Food for Mind What if Joseph was raised by hidden Blank Cultists and slowly learned their ways and became influenced by them Because barely anyone knows of the Blank Cultists' existence Only in very rare and often obscured or just hidden parts of history do you get to even hear of them, Verdrok really wanted to make sure they were forgotten Considering how horrible they were, I don't blame it So likely only those Blank Cultists that passed on their cult and influence or were in the inner circle know about it ... ... I could talk more about these Blank mfs on here
Just made an ultimate analysis for Joseph Bright I just thought I'd let y'all know since y'all ain't exactly quite informed here about me bein' on Reddit. A large feast for the brains. A load of Food for Mind.
