I’ve been thinking about the story as a whole recently and how it could end.

I’m still trying to piece together the story as a newbie to the clique - so please bear with me if I get details wrong or I don’t make sense!
Please see photos for references and explanations.

I know this is all over the place, I’m typing down my thoughts around caring for my newborn! Happy to discuss any points when I get chance and happy for any information if I’ve misunderstood or got something wrong! ☺️

Thank you if you’ve read this far! |-/

Okay I just read this and I think there’s something interesting here

#

I haven’t seen anyone else theorize that seizing is what makes someone a bishop, which is a very interesting theory

#

Idk how true it is, it’s very possible that the bishops all chose to become bishops, or maybe they’re the creators of DEMA as a city? idk we don’t really know how DEMA came to be

#

also for the face-covering thing Tyler and Josh have worn ski masks on stage and have had their faces covered in various music videos (Car Radio and Guns for Hands to name a couple). Also Torchbearer almost always has his face covered by a bandana

#

Atp it’s pretty much confirmed that DEMA will burn, from the lyrics on Clancy to the imagery in the Digital Remains there’s no way DEMA doesn’t burn to the ground. I also don’t see Tyler ending this story on a loss for various reasons

Hate to poke a hole but it's "CAN'T fall asleep twice" not can

#

But still like the theory, it's on track to be what I think

Now that I think about it, Torchbearer has to be God. He's guiding clancy and he's always with him, "I never left you"..??? It sounds just like God. Somebody has to have made this connection before, there's no way..

It would make perfect sense in the metaphor, as Torchbearer is the one who always helps Clancy escape. God leads Tyler out of his struggles by showing him the light..?

#

You are what they said you were. I see the weathering on your face, and the journey you've BBeen on. Although we were away, I hope you now know that I've never left you. It's time, Clancy. They believe in the movEEment. They are ready for TThis oppression to end. They are ready to defeaTT this archaic rule once and for all. We can meet out in Trench at camp to lay out our plan. We will bring you evEErything you need. We have support from yellow and red now, and our militia is strong. No matter what, when that day comes, we will get you to the toweRR.

Has to be God.

Yeah I’ve seen other ppl making the Torchbearer/God connection. It makes a lot of sense in a lot of ways, plus the fact that Tyler and Josh are both Christians

I've alway noticed Clancy's nose, after seizing Keons, matching where the black and white "paint"(?) on Keon's face seperates the 2 look to me to be the same location. Right at the bridge of his nose, which could be pure coincidence... The Torchbearer being a representation to the Holy Trinity is referenced somewhat by Tyler himself, but not explicitly, he explained at the end of the "Navigating" MV (release party) 1:06:48 - 1:07:07, "We can talk about the Torchbearer and he ALSO has an ability that we call, his ability to guide, and so that's why there is kind of like a triangular existence of him. BUT, I will say to clear it up, the Bandito Torchbearer is the real one. I don't know if that sets it straight a little bit." I'm still courious what the third "existence is" unless he's refering to drummer Torchbearer. lol
