Fact 1: Gyroids are based on artifacts of the dead. Fact 2: Gyroids in Animal Crossing clearly have some level of sentience; playing to music and, in some cases, speaking and holding minor jobs. This implies they have souls. Fact 3: Brewster has Gyroids made in his own image--which, despite him being very much alive, are still animated. Conclusion: Brewster is making horcruxes.

I always knew there was something suspicious about that pigeon.

Hmm... wonder if he adds ashes to the coffee🤔🤫🤭

@EasySqueezy1 2 года назад

Some Haniwa were made from terracotta mixed with the ashes of the dead, sometimes these were servants or warriors’ ashes and it’s believed that the soul would become trapped inside the Haniwa so they could protect the burial mounds of high ranking people

@tunakann7629 2 года назад

In my tribe, pottery is placed on the person's grave who's ashes where used for the clay so they can have eyes above the ground to continue watching the world change, sorta keeping them from being bored for all eternity.

@sherbertshortkake6649 2 года назад

I'd always found it rather morbid that Japanese would repurpose 'graves' in this way- nice to have some insight on this. Still feels weird when you consider Gyroids as sapient, and especially in the Kirby anime where the cappies are a replacement for people in a sense... 👀

@KikiBethSays 2 года назад

Oh yeah I’d forgotten about that in the Kirby cartoon! Definitely weird!

@awesomefox555 2 года назад

especially when you look at the villager coco...is she a dead bunny inhabiting a golem?

@@awesomefox555 Ooh, good question!

@DizzyBonez 2 года назад

I’d like to point out that the ones that look more like pots with the circles around them are very similar to Bendoids!

@metamii 2 года назад

Thank you for this! An excellent explanation of the origins of gyroids. I created a kofun on my island where I’ve been placing my gyroids and where I also put my museum.

@KikiBethSays 2 года назад

Thanks I'm glad you enjoyed it, and that sounds awesome! Very cool idea!

@roblock6360 2 года назад

well sometimes kapp’n says that he finds castaways and you fing gyroid fragments on other islands so . . .

@KikiBethSays 2 года назад

ooh interesting connection! Those islands are mysterious indeed...

@CarolineDain 2 года назад

This is so interesting!! I'm so happy to have it explained

@KikiBethSays 2 года назад

@KikiBethSays 2 года назад

Same!! Can't wait to collect them :)

@coffeecat2812 2 года назад

This was really interesting, it was neat to see photos of the real ones at the museum.

@PugsMalone 2 года назад

Haniwa show up a lot in Japanese video games, the first time I saw them was in Final Fantasy Legend II, where they're incredibly strong enemies in the final area.

@KikiBethSays 2 года назад

That's neat! I have a feeling I'll be starting to notice them a lot more in games now.

@SwayRod836 2 года назад

True story: I just made Julian a vacation home and I gave him a heavenly throne room with a choir of gyroids. It never occurred to me they were burial statues. I use them like little cherubs 👼

@KikiBethSays 2 года назад

That sounds amazing
