Foxed's Crazy Theory Emporium

--- Quote from: Foxed on January 29, 2015, 03:54:26 PM ---Citation, please? I'm honestly curious, because it makes more sense that Baba Yaga is a name for Mother Winter and yet I'm straining trying to peg the original beings behind the retired Mother Summer and the current Mother Summer.

Just ran across this one:

--- Quote from: WoJ ---So, if someone whacks the being that is, for all intents and purposes, Baba Yaga, and then Mab succeeds, then Mab becomes the new Baba Yaga, and Molly gets drawn up to Mab, and they have to find someone else to become the new Lady.

the neurovore of Zur-En-Aargh:
Oh, can I put my "Nemesis infected the WG about two millennia ago, causing it to go from Old Testament fire and brimstone to peace and love all the time, stop being near so good at defending the Outer Gates, and kick all the other deities off Earth" notion here ? Of ideas I've had that I'm near-absolutely sure are wrong, that's probably the one that makes most plausible sense of a bunch of odd and disparate datapoints.
Foxed:
I'm all for no-evidence theories that clear up datapoints. But that's crazy.
(This from the man who has theorized that, 1, Vaderrung is Thor "Youngfather", who has ascended to Odin's position as Allfather, and 2, Harry Dresden is unstuck in time. So, you know. If I think something is farfetched...)
Perhaps by becoming human for a short while, the White God was able to add a certain quantity of free will to Himself, and that's how he turned to Love Thy Neighbor?
Foxed:
The Summer Court protects the Inner Gates.
This theory is, of course, baseless, but there's a certain sense to it.
The Winter Court protects reality from the cold oblivion of Outside at the Outer Gates.
The Summer Court protects humanity from the Winter Court.
That doesn't strike me as balance enough (and yeah, I'm the kind of sap who pretends Anakin brought balance by wiping out the Jedi and the Sith, not just by wiping out the Emperor, so precedent is against me, but...). I propose that, unbeknownst to most of Winter (much like Winter's duties aren't known to most of Summer), Summer has more purpose than we've been led to think. And no, I don't mean there's an Insider army that Summer defends reality from militarily.
Behind these hypothetical Inner Gates is the core of all reality. The fiery creative force, emotion, love, what have you, that beats. Summer, then, is the crew watching for meltdown and managing the core radiating into our middle realm. Aurora, then, would have been infected by the core, not Nemesis.
[EDIT: And I think that Core is the World Tree, Yggdrasil, the Tree of the Knowledge of Good And Evil.]
Summer protects humanity from the core melting down, and protects humanity from Winter.
Winter protects reality from the Outside, and protects reality from Summer.
Again, I know, no evidence for it, but I think it at least slots into the cosmic mechanism as we know it.

A minor quibble, I don't really see MM as a time travel book in the classical sense. That would be too "easy". Yes our Dresden (Harry) will be on an alternate timeline (of, let's call him Larry Dresden for ease of use) trying to fix things but if the time travel scenario starts being used (by Harry, going to the past of Larry's life) then I fully expect temporality become unglued by the end of second third of the book, resulting in a 4d speed chess between Dresden and ze Bad guy (probably a very heavy weight outsider entity that has/had managed to enter Larry's universe after things really went to hell) which ramps up to a full blown 6d speed chess as we near the finale of the book.
Ps: For those of you trying to understand the 10 dimensions theory; http://youtu.be/p4Gotl9vRGs
