This artwork is so goated, legit one of my favorite pieces from the furry community

Holy fucking nose...

2027

We're getting Slop Masters in 2026 where they reprint all of the cringiest UB cards trust

As the rest of the game. Since Gaster/the intro voice straight up talks to you in the ch1 pre-completion save select screen, he and the stuff with similar filenames kind of exist on our time frame. If FRIEND is the same, then it might be able to "time travel" from the lightners' perspective.

DEVICE_FRIEND (the game object of its face in the mansion basement) uses the same distinct naming conventions as the gonermaker sequence and the save select screen. There's a popular theory that proposes this distinction in filenames is because these files exist on a different level of reality

Straight up creating FRIEND, assuming that it can "time travel" by existing on the level of the chapter select, and therefore go back and ensure its own creation.

My like, out there prediction is that Jockington has pink eyes under the glasses (same as Bratty). Catti and/or Jockington are gonna be tricked into doing something that turns their bodies into a vessel for whatever the fuck FRIEND is, allowing it to breach into the light world or

Nono, just predicting that the game is foreshadowing Jockington and Catti being chimerized into a new body for FRIEND. Endogeny, Catty, and Bratty are like Undertale's narrative parallels to FRIEND and the pair (a many-legged amalgamate and a cat-reptile duo with eyes that match FRIEND's).

I have an even crazier theory for you.

More than likely I think the hyper specific stuff isn't known to the lightners

Thanks that's the exact vibe I was going for

Read my theories.

Bant deck where you play Fractured Identity and Primal Vigor with Iona and convince everyone to make sure nobody can play spells for the rest of the game.

Me and my opponent mulling down to 5, 4, 3, 2... our faces get closer as we one up each other with each lower number... finally we both mull to zero, and our hands are free to wrap each other in a warrior's embrace. Happens every d*mn round man, can't even go to fnm anymore 😮‍💨
