* The Dimension of Pain's Demon King of evil and pain had to come from somewhere. Horribus assumed he just came out of nowhere and took over the dimension. However, it later turns out the the "demons" are actually created by No-Fun's squid-on-a-stick mutation spear. It is never explained how these mutants eventually became super-natural demons as every other dimension's set of demons either hasn't hit their tipping point yet (or is obliterated before they get that far) or the mutants already possess their demonic strength and abilities. Inky himself possesses a passing resemblance to the Demon King and he seems like one of the more intelligent of the mutants. The Demon King is made out of black ooze that can morph into different shapes. Inky seems to be made of a similar substance. It is possible that this nobody mutant may be the dark horse winner for the demonic power lottery and assume the position of King. As "being promoted" leads to increased strength, intelligence, and makes the individual invincible except for making their heart their Achilles' heel, this can explain why Inky is not as strong or intelligent as the Demon King. Since Inky survived No-Fun's destruction in Sluggy Prime and he assumed the role of leader of the survivors, he is the perfect candidate to show us how the Demon King came to be by being the ascended individual to take that position.

So as not to [[RunningGag torture you with a link to the documentaries of Doctor Viennason]], [[Recap/{{Recap}} it's the one were enough people gather together in Timeless Space to activate a self-powered time bubble (since a time line composed of two people has more strength than two individual timelines)]]. Since Timeless Space can be entered earlier than it was left, it's possible that every universe started out timeless before somebody arrived. People seem to arrive in Timeless Space when there are other people who have time, but even if they didn't, it would take only a bubble large enough to continue expanding as living beings created more time than they spent to fill any world, let alone a world new enough that it only contained a small ball of water surrounding [[spoiler: the head of Father Time's brother]]. Eventually, as people discovered travel through outer space and between worlds and into Timeless Space, they would spread organic matter and sentient beings through their own universe and others, and [[StableTimeLoop their descendants would one day discover their own universe before anyone existed there]].

Somewhat related to this WMG, Pete plans everything so far in advance because if he tried to pack in all of the awesomeness he's got planned over any less of a timeframe, the CrowningMomentOfAwesome after CrowningMomentOfAwesome would wear us down until nothing seemed awesome or special any longer.

They were both introduced roughly around the same time, and even went on hiatus around the same time. But Kusari appears as an oppostie to Oasis and calls her sister, Oasis and Sasha have met once and Sasha gave her a message that drove Oasis insane in her next incarnation. It was also revealed recently by Schlocke that Kusari does indeed have had interactions with the Sluggy gang.

* Ayle can mutate to adapt to whatever situation, so the best defense against pain-loving demons ''would'' be flowers. Also, we've been directly told it wasn't a real dragon by the book, which said that the first two steps would be guaranteed to work for a real dragon. However, an alien (or nanite ghoul) would not be a real dragon. Also, its appearance is completely different from everything else in the dimension, because it isn't caetoony; it looks like a very realistic dragon. The only other thing that looked like an actual dragon was Aylee's giant form. The comeback to this theory is that the dragon awoke just like the second one, but it would make sense for Aylee to be imprisoned just like two legitimate DOP mutants, because all of them would be just as annoying.

* So, we can tie almost every arc together. Mokhadun is the origin of Bun-Bun, Santa, Basphomy, Kzk, and the holidays, and Oasis and Kusari can pretty clearly be linked to the Sun and Moon twins, and sparked Dr. Steve Hereti's research of the supernatural, leading to all of the advanced tech and weird stuff from both Hereti-Corp and the companies that copied it, including the Dimension of Pain Demons. During the Holiday Wars, Bun-Bun commanded a flight of vampires, meaning vampires are linked to Halloween, which was originally controlled by Basphomy, who then created the vampires. This means that the only two unconnected stories are those of Dr. Crabtree and Rithuly (and Alyee's species, which is linked to Rithuly). Now, since the Dimension of Pain demons were actually mutants, this means other demons, such as the Mind Wedgier and Rithuly, could also have scientific origins. However, they are clearly not like the DOP demons, since Aylee's species can change form and evolve. The only other thing that can change form like that in Sluggy Freelance is Dr. Crabtree, who was able to shape change freely with the nanites. An interesting thing to note is that since Bun-Bun was not affected by Crabtree's nanites, this means that they could either not affect nonhumans(and were on a different setting than when they killed Tuffy) or could not affect sufficiently weird or supernatural things like a god of power. Either way, Aylee should be immune to them... but she wasn't. In fact, she went into a coocoon and adapted to defend better against nanites. The only way this would happen would be if she could be affected, meaning that she either is, at the core of it, human, or is close enough to be more mundane than Bun-Bun. Another connection between Aylee and Crabtree's nanites is that both were able to adapt to freezing cold. Thus, Aylee's form changes are brought about by nanites, which detected hostile nanites and defended(and adapted themselves toned immune to [=EMPs=], which can be done, as demonstrated by Riff's one EMP shielded robot). This would mean that Rithuly is a version of Dr. Crabtree who won, just like the DOP is a universe where the Nofun mutants won. And nanite-based Rayths would still be able to work with souls, because the DOP mutants were also capable of building cages that could hold souls.

* Psyk is given disproportionate influence and priveledge by Horribus, who he puts up with and humors far too much, as well as being the overlooked OnlySaneMan.

* He wasn't a vorpyr, strahkoi, or vrykolatkas. But rather something unique with the powers of all three types.

First, Zoe didn't die at all, so that pretty much rules that out. You could argue that she died temporarily before being resuscitated, but that's a possibility for another theory. The other theory I've seen here is that it's because she changed dimensions, but the Dimension of Champagne journey shows that that doesn't happen. My theory is that the necklace released because she confessed her love for Torg. The necklace was built for a demigod that loved a queen who didn't love him. He was attempting to convince her to love him when he cursed her; what would be the natural CurseEscapeClause? A confession of love for the one who put the necklace on Zoe? Torg put it on her personally. Food for thought.

* As of [[http://www.sluggy.com/comics/archives/daily/100820 this strip,]] it seems I'm either psychic or DangerouslyGenreSavvy. I doubt [[spoiler:Sasha]] will die from that injury, though. Still, close enough.

With Basphomy remembering her past as of the last chapter of Holiday Wars, she's able to call upon all of her knowledge as Dunuloa... which would include how to make the magical eggs. Seeing as she was responsible for all of the other magical eggs shown, it's quite possible that she also was the creator of the Deus Ex Ovum... and if she remembers all of that, then she could potentially create another one.

We haven't seen his face outside of the Mohkadun storyline....

Either that, or they were subjected to a more successful experiment than the one that made the [[{{Firefly}} Reavers.]] They have 20th century technology and at least one missile, and most of the technology they had must have been developed in war. Also, they could not have developed so much by just eating rice cakes.

[[WMG: Bun-bun is originally from [[Main/KevinAndKell Domain]].]]

In what I have come to deem the [[FinalFantasyVII Aeris Effect]], (Or [[SpellMyNameWithAnS 'Aerith Effect']]) an author or writer makes a character so likeable that readers/players/viewers will instantly cling to him/her. And then, just when the dramatic timing is right, [[PlayerPunch they kill the character off for emotional value.]] This is so common that I know it already has its own trope, under another name.

They seem so similar and considering the sisters motif with Oasis it becomes a huge hint that Kusari and Oasis are Basphomy and Rana respectively.
