This is my favorite crazy OotS theory. I didn't make it up, nor do I believe it:
Girard is Haley and Elan's time-traveling son.

He has hair strands similar to Elan, Nale and Tarquin.
His hair is red.
Like Elan, he uses illusions.
Like Haley, he has trust issues. (She got over them. It doesn't seem that he has.)

Coincidence? Probably, but it's still fun to think about.

Kraagor was the first mortal the Snarl ever killed, but as the Snarl snuffed out his life, it experienced all of Kraagor's memories, hopes and despairs. Realizing the depth of the destruction it had caused, the Snarl reflected on its nature and decided to abandon the chaos and strife that defined it, by creating instead of destroying, resulting in the world inside the gate.

This also means that Xykon will be undone when the Snarl makes it very clear that it doesn't want to be appropriated to conquer the world.

You must be new 'round these parts 'cause on these forums that's not even in the top 50 craziest theories about oots.:smallwink:

Why would they not count? the Snarl wasn`t changed when he got trapped except for the possibility he became eve more hostile by being trapped for so many years.

Edit: also, the world was undone, how could anyone survive? There is no way there was a descendant from the first world. And if there was what makes the people of the first world so different that makes the Snarl not feel their memories and despair Like you claim Kraagor did?

No, no, no. That's not who Girard is.

He's Elan and Haley's multidimensional time-traveling father. "Ian Starshine" and "General Tarquin" are just two aspects of a being whose true form is beyond mortal comprehension.

-The world-within-the-world is actually the Dragon continuity. Why else would that not be an option in the stickied poll?!
-The "final boss" is Nale, who absorbs the power of the Snarl, becomes a blond angelic being (http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs41/f/2009/039/b/7/FF6_Final_Battle_HD_by_lilfurman.png) (Why else would Elan dress up like Locke?), complete with Snarl-coloured wings and a goatee drawn with crayon. Plus, the first major villain they fought has to be the last one! Eith that or vampiric Trigak.

This is my favorite crazy OotS theory. I didn't make it up, nor do I believe it:

Coincidence? Probably, but it's still fun to think about.Time Travel Girard is my favorite definitely-not-going-to-happen theory, too. Don't forget that Girard has a ponytail (like Haley) and sometimes sports a goatee (which is obviously in Elan's gene pool)!

Tarquin is from the future. Specifically, he is Elan/Nale from the future; they were the same person instead of twins in that timeline. You see, he realized his father was just a version of himself from yet another timeline, so he went back in time to find his mother and create a stable time loop. However, time travel doesn't work in ways that make sense in the OOTS-verse, so instead of a stable time loop he split his new-timeline self into two people.

All of the Tarquin and Girard theories seem to involve something really disturbing.

Darth Hunterix

2011-09-04, 03:23 PM

I love threads like this :)
Here is my little contribution:
Girard isn't Elan and Haley's son or father, he is them both, joined together by some mysterious Snarl's trick, and combined into one person. They/he didn't exactly travelled through time, but since in OotSverse timeline is circular they/he lived so long, that they/he met the Scribbles when the history was repeating itself. They/he secretly married that nice widower Soon, but after the adventure they argued about colour of curtains in their new kitchen, and that's when the whole grudge between them started, and that's why Girard swore to never believe Soon's promises ever again.
Kraagor wasn't exactly killed by the Snarl, his soul was simply extracted from his body and was sucked to Snarl's realm, where he taught Snarl how to drink beer, so now Snarl is just a nice puppy, which created a whole new planet for his new buddy, and that planet is the happiest place in the multiverse.
Also Mr. Scruffy and Blackwing are twins.

Here's mine!
The Goblin Teenagers, The Flumphs, The Two Displacer Beasts, The Dirt Farmers, The two Lizardfolk who rezzed the Oracle and The Shadow Dancer and his Dwarf buddy are being led by the Teleporting Azurite Wizard in an attempt to take over the world by manipulating the plot. When the Oracle said "say hi to your boss for me" he meant the Wizard. The Goblin teenagers are spying on every "side" taking advantage of the fact that they are dead and ghosts. The Wizard, The Shadow Dancer and one of The Displacer Beasts are secretly the IFCC. They were able to perform the splice using the love which Rich has for the dirt farmers to channel their powers. The two Lizardfolk are secretly the lizardfolk ambassador in the EoB. They intend to talk to the Empress and tell her that Belkar is a gold dragon so that she can meet with the other displacer beast to kill him. The Dwarf has been designated with making the explosions the gates make extra big. The Dirt Farmers are secretly members of the Azurite resistance trying to recruit team Peregrine (who also do not have names) to the cause. And the Flumphs. Fall manipulation. They "won't be there" when Belkar escapes the Empresses jaws.

Isn't it obvious?! When somebody is killed by the Snarl, they absorb a bit of the Snarl, and acquire the "half-Snarl" template. Kraagor, Soon's Wife, and all the people from the first world are half-Snarl citizens living in their own world, where the Order of the Stick will go and all become BABY SNARLS! Because of some obscure rule causing PC's to be ultra-sensitive to Snarl death because it makes for an awesome theory. And by that I really mean that my theory just bubbled into nonsense. :smallbiggrin:

And Spoilered is what I surmise the average human half-snarl to look like.

I still have my crazy theory that Julia Greenhilt is Right-Eye's daughter. My basis for this is that Right-Eye sent his daughter away to be raised by humans, and who is probably the only human he knows and kind of trusts? Eugene Greenhilt. Eugene, in his twisted way trying to fix things after what happened to Eric, decided to give Sara and Roy another child to care about. He would certainly have had to use some magic to make her appear human, and perhaps also alter everyone's memories, but being a master illusionist, such things are probably not impossible to him. It's also a possible way that in the future, Redcloak and Roy could form a kinship.

Of course, I realize that there are a lot of logical problems with this, and it probably isn't true, but I secretly kinda hope there's something to it.

2011-09-09, 12:13 AM

The Snarl is not actually a creature of chaos, but a creature of order. You see, it was created by the gods 'author discontinuity'. What it seeks is a to reach an internally consistent continuity. At some point it decided to create its own parallel universe where everything is right, and now it creates holes in the Gods world so it can gather materials for its own perfect world.

I have a new theory.

Look at panel 5 here (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0747.html). The goblin cleric (Redcloak, I assume) said he was leaving "soon". Hinjo actually used quote marks around "soon", indicating that it didn't mean what it seemed to. Clearly, Redcloak meant he was leaving Soon. So that means that Soon and Redcloak were dating, but now Recloak is breaking up with him.

Now, that means either Redcloak is not evil or Soon fell. We know that Redcloak is evil, because O-Chul used Smite Evil (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0655.html) on him. Therefore, Soon has fallen.

No what really is happening is:
Haley is actually a celestial sent by arborea to free the Snarl, who is the incarnation of chaotic good, from the tyrranical hands of the Nine Hells, who impersonated Celestia to convince the Order of the Scribble to seal the snarl. ELan will have a kid with Haley, and since they would be a half-celestial, marry redcloak, causing redcloak to lose his cleric powers. Roy (who is secretly a psion) will defeat xykon with his psionic powers, banishing him to the world in the rifts, which is actually the Nine Hells. Haley will release the snarl, and it will bring candy upon the world!

Unless Kraagor is really the snarl, who has learned to create a mortal form!

It's a silly theory, but given that we never see Kraagor's body--we don't even know if the Order of the Scribble actually saw him die, or if he just got sealed in the rift with the snarl--and also given what Blackwing saw when he looked into the rift, how do we know that Kraagor isn't somehow alive on the world within the rift? I don't even think it's a silly theory in that regard, tough it's hard to see how he wouldn't have been killed by the snarl.

The part of the theory where he's hanging out with his buddy, the snarl--that's kind of silly, though it's not 100% impossible. If the snarl is sentient--which isn't completely clear to me--and learned that it's existance and imprisonment is the result of the making of the world--then it's not out of the question that it could channel it's energies into making its own world within the rifts. In fact, in thinking about it, that might be the best explanation of what Blackwing saw. If that's the case, then maybe Kraagor was/is an advisor to the snarl on how the world should be made.

:smallcool:

Snails

2011-09-16, 06:18 PM

Kraagor being alive would be extremely surprising, but clearly is not impossible if the Scribble merely saw the Gate snap shut.

Based on what Blackwing saw, many of us are making the reasonable guess that the Snarl has changed. The biggest change presumably happened sometime between when that last Gate snapped shut and before Miko blew out the Azure City Gate.

It is a weird linkage to make, but perhaps Kraagor himself aided the change in the Snarl?

The obvious downside is one might reasonably wonder how many milliseconds Kraagor could really survive once the last Gate was shut. But IF some how some way Kraagor survived for days, then the rest of my hypothesis is suddenly not bizarre at all.

Snails

2011-09-16, 08:23 PM

The most obvious (and probably only possible) answer as to how Kraagor survives is that the Snarl lets him live.

Why? Well, nobody knows for sure why the Snarl does or does not do much of anything. Even the insight of the gods is probably pretty limited here, so our guesses are probably not much better or worse than the rest of the well-informed within the OotSverse.

The Snarl is...

... A story made up by the Order of the Scribble.
Soon's wife one day tripped over a rock, onto a sharper rock, thus explaining why her body was not unmade when she was killed. Soon then assembled The Order of the Scribble to take revenge on his wife's killer - the planet itself.
The Order made many gates, at specific points where there were already tears of reality caused by shoddy reality tailors, trying to look into where his wife's killer was. Each time Soon was the only one to look through, and each time he said that it hadn't worked - the gate was not facing the right continent.
Eventually the rest of the Order cottoned on, and, out of embarrassment, made up a story to cover their gigantic waste of time, and each assigned themselves to hiding a gate so the truth could never get out - even Soon was convinced of this eventually, due to realising how silly it was, and it was important that a Paladin never look silly.
So that's what we're seeing through the gate - The planet they are currently on, from a different vantage point. And as for where is Kraagor?
He's floating out in space somewhere.

must be immortal beings of pure chaos, since they were switched with the lawyers in #805, they have to be opposites. Oh, and they never die even after having heavy characters fall on them.

Then my post your "absurd possible idea" was my own absurd possible idea that might be true. :smallcool:

The Lawyers are actually immortal beings of pure law. Because they never get (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0050.html) any old... (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0159.html)

That's absurd. :smalltongue:

And yes clearly... both the flumphs and lawyers are immortal. (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0526.html) I mean what else could possibly explain their recurring awesomeness?

Belkar is a Doppelganger who happens to prefer the Halfling form due to it's ability to intimidate commoners with nothing but a pebble. He used to be evil, but after being nearly killed by Miko, he turned over a new leaf and has since become CG. Everyone he has killed since then has been someone who was actively planning to kill the Order (which he figured out using his Detect Thoughts ability).

I love that idea, it might even be true. The only other lawyer (student) we know is certainly an outsider, so why not Jones & Rodriguez.

BTW, I'm not sure why you thought it necessary to put your idea in a spoiler box. That's only needed for the prequel books.

Empress of Blood or/and Tarquin will be killed by...

Assassins. (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0241.html)

Too obvious. Instead:

After fighting off the Linear Guild, the Order will get the information they need about Girard and hightail it out of the Empire of Blood faster than you can say "Wind Walk."

Then, while the Order is out dealing with Team Evil again, Tarquin and his associates will be confronted by a wandering epic-level Monk who claims that they are already dead (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=po77bJk1DdI).
