Winking Howell Is Utter Perfection

Happy Pride Month!

Who is Nico?

Each of the nine bishops match up with a pattern on the Blurryface cover. (turned the bishop’s image to the left. East is up now.)

Keons - HeavyDirtySoul // Savarver - Tear In My Heart // Listo - Ride // Lisden - Polarize // Reisdro - Doubt // Vetomo - Lane Boy // Andre - Fairly Local  // Nico - (supposedly Stressed Out) // Nills - Goner

The names are random chunks of lyrics. Example: Sacarver is taken from “she’s a carver”. All the bishops do follow this rule, all but Nico. There are no lyrics in Stressed Out that make “NICO”.

So the the first time a spotlight was shed on Nico was the cheetah gif with the phrase “U STILL DONT KNOW HIS REAL NAME DO U?” hidden between the letters N I C O in the place of spaces. We still don’t know Nico’s real name.

My two theories are: 

1. Nico is hiding his true name for some reason. 

2. Nico is replacing an old bishop. (Perhaps he overthrew the previous bishop. Or the old bishop died/stripped of his title and Nico was elected as the new bishop. I don’t know how Dema’s politics work lol)

I am very interested as to why Nico is called out specifically in “Nico And The Niners”. What makes him more significant than the other bishops? The only other bishop that has been name-dropped is Keons. Clancy wrote about Keons in a positive light, and the other eight he considered to be ruthless. (this could be due to Keons brainwashing his personal region or he’s possibly just not as bad of a leader as the other 8.Clancy seems to be too enlightened to believe Keons to be good if he really isn’t) 

Nico may be especially ruthless and a bit of a leader among the bishops. (whether he is a new bishop or has been around a long time will be an interesting detail in the story.) That’s why Tyler addresses them as “Nico and The Niners” instead of just The Niners. Nico is leading them in the chase. 

I am not sure if the cloaked man in the Jumpsuit video is even a bishop. He appears to be a direct representation of Blurryface. From his black fingers and face paint. The veil literally blurring his face, and of course the red cloak. If he is meant to be Nico (Stressed Out), we could take the line from the song “My name’s Blurryface” and perhaps that is Nico’s true identity? 

Probably not, but it’s something to think about. I have gone through all the lyrics of Blurryface and none of the songs explain Nico’s name. So whether Blurryface is just Nico or a combination of all the bishops’ control would be very intriguing. I’m a believer that Tyler doesn’t portray Blurryface, but simply portrays himself “possessed” by Blurryface. So that cloaked figure might be the real Blurryface in the flesh. 

Hopefully we can get more lore and letters to satisfy us till October 5th. I absolutely love the way they are telling this story and I can’t wait to read what everyone else has to say. Please add any thoughts you have! I have so many but the puzzle still isn’t complete! (totally call me out if you have plain and simple answers to any of this. I’m dumb and miss things in plain sight.)

“NO YOU REALLY SHOULDN’T HAVE..” Cat Edition In Six Photos

my roman empire is the subtle differences in appearance between jinx and (alternate universe) powder. powder is taller and has fuller cheeks compared to jinx because shes not malnourished. powder is tanner than jinx and has freckles because shes out in the sun more. powder's voice is deeper to signify that she has matured, while jinx's voice is high-pitched and raspy because of her constant screaming and the poor air quality in zaun. powder has prevalent smile lines, while jinx doesnt. the difference between jinx and powder is one night, one decision.

even with all its explosive jellyfish and charged lumaflies, i still find fog canyon and the teacher's archives to hold a rather relaxing atmosphere; nice to sketch :)

I had the time of my life at the Troye Sivan concert in Munich last night. Everyone I talked to while queuing was so so kind, thank you all for making this night so amazing.
