The path of a Lord, (according to Caliborn) involves suffering. Karako suffered the moment he was hatched. Being a runt and being saved by Bronya. Who is technically his first minion if you think about it. She serves him to keep him safe. Fulfilling her title of MAID of BREATH. Because yknow. Another maid we knew was associated with a Lord. Lords tend to dominate their aspect so a Lord of Time would barely need to speak to communicate their thoughts.
Exactly what Karako does. Karako’s outburst is his Chucklevoodos being unleashed.
How would a Lord of Minds chucklevoodos work exactly?
ohohoh. Mind is associated with thoughts, instinct, decision making. Karako unleashed his voodoos which made the seadwellers see exactly what their decisions would end them with. Unlike the bad ending, he was pushed to the brink of his limit to unleash such clown sorcery. Which could have meant that he would end up killing them much easier. Or getting close to it. Its why the boastful Seadwellers we saw suddenly booked it.
There is an allusion to Caliborn are there in his design if you look at it closely. His golden tooth for an example.
Additionally, the impact of Karako’s death has such an impact on the MC just like Boldir’s. Except unlike the MUSE of HEART, who’s death inspired the MC to truly wake up to their situation; Karako’s death left their last known thought, dominate the MC’s mind. To kill the seadwellers.
We couldnt think of anything else. For that split second, his thoughts dominated us and made us go into a blind rage in his bad ending. Following our temporary master into the dark carnival heaven space.
Its even more interesting as MUSE OF HEART and LORD OF MIND parallel each other.
Last time a LORD and a HERO OF HEART interacted?
Oh i look forward to this very very much.
hiveswap, friendsim, karako pierot, IM SHAKING THIS IS SO FITTING
Alternate universe where everything is the same but giraffes eat grass so their huge neck just pivots down and eats the grass 5 meters in front of them
Hey, it’s nice to see everyone loving Mallek after his wonderful route in Friendsim. I mean, come on, who wouldn’t love him. But after replaying his chapter and re-reading some theories around here back from when the first act of Hiveswap came out, I found something interesting.
So, if you have played Mallek’s route, watched a gameplay, or saw screenshots in here, you may have noticed that after “kidnapping” MC, they tell a certain bronze blood that their DVD’s would be at their hive.
The bronze blood’s name seems to be Treyaf. We haven’t met any troll named that way, have we? You must have thought that they were just like many other background trolls from the rest of the chapters. Not important at all, right? But if they weren’t important, if they were only in a background character, why would the writers bother to give them a name if the rest of the BG characters were hardly mentioned?
Now, doesn’t the name Treyaf sound familiar? Like a way to misspell another name we already know? May I compare this wonderful name with our beloved sneaky troll, Tetrach!
Yes, dear users, what I’m saying is that Tetrach has been going around many groups of potential revolutionary allies under many different code names. You see, Xefros seems to be the only one to know his real name, Dammek, yet he insist in Xefros to call him Tetrach. So, to get into more dangerous missions, he goes by other names, just like this one. Who knows if Mallek and the rest of the group know about this, but they do trust him.
And the second reason why I am sure he is the troll is because of the DVDs. Remember back in the first act of Hiveswap, during Joey’s adventure in Dammek’s hive, there are circular disk thrown around his bedroom and living room. That doesn’t mean anything, right. But also remember that when you are in Xefros hive, he has hexagonal disks which is something common among lowbloods (at least rust bloods, but I’m assuming bronze bloods too). It also said that it was not permitted for lowbloods to have circular disk.

Xefro’s hexagonal disks during Hiveswap Act 1 - Credits to probablyboredaf
Then, if it’s not legal, how would Dammek have such luxuries if he is a lowblood?
And that contact would be our favorite cerulean boy, Mallek Adalov. He, who is a mid blood, is Dammek’s way of getting both information about higher bloods and an almost assured ally when the time for the revolution comes.
So, yeah, for now this is all I have. If there’s more information or you want to add anything, please do!
