Line #10 Headscratchers/CharlieTheUnicorn


1	* I, for one, am confused about the whole '[=TypeQueen=]-Steele' thing. I thought that they were the same person. Did [=TypeQueen=] make Charlie the Unicorn first? Did Jason Steele? Or does anyone really know? To add to the confusion, Jason Steele's videos share both the graphic style and humour type of Charlie, while [=TypeQueen=]'s videos aren't related in the slightest, save the fact that they're animated with the same programs. Also, TQ's animations have a very confined feel to the animation, making it look like she never finished the rendering process. (To figure out what I mean by that, just watch her 'Evolution of the Unicorn'.) Can someone clear up the confusion?
2	** [=TypeQueen=] is Jason's mother. He uploaded the video initially under her account. This is why when you watch Charlie 1 on Website/YouTube, at the end, it says "For [=TypeQueen=]". The video was made for his mother.
3	* In the third one: How did Charlie know that was ''his'' kidney?
4	** It's a reasonable hypothesis, that's all.
5	** They stole his kidney, the snowman had a kidney in it, he was just putting 2 and 2 together. After all they used his horn for the snowman so it'd only make sense that they used his kidney for it too.
6	* Why do Charlie, Pink, and Blue have tails but no manes?
7	** They shave. Or, rather, Pink and Blue have always been like that (Charlie suspects they shave) and Charlie has been either forced to shave or had his mane stolen after yet another wacky adventure.
8	** Perhaps this particular type of unicorns simply do not have manes?
9	** If I'm up to date on my unicorn mythology, Unicorns didn't have manes in their early interpretations so it could be a reference to that. Although they also had goat-like feet and lion-like tails so I'm probably wrong. However it may be because if they had manes they would get in the way of the characters and make their drawings a bit off. So it's probably more of an artistic reason than mythological reason.
10	** I always assumed it was a product of the art style. Charlie and co. strongly resemble toy horses with molded manes. The manes on such toys are sometimes hard to see, depending upon the color of the toy and how short the mane was meant to be. If the characters are indeed modeled off of toys, this combined with the blurriness of the shading on the characters would make manes hard to see anyway, so the artist may not have bothered to draw them (or did draw them but they got lost amongst the blur during production and were left that way).
11	* Since we now know that the world Charlie lives in is a post-extinction environment, how was Charlie watching TV in episode 2? Broadcasting a TV show isn't an easy task and requires multiple people.
12	** In Charlie's world the difference between magic and technology seems ever so slight, so who knows? Maybe their television runs on magic and is broadcast through means entirely different to ours. Maybe whatever mechanism by which it operates allows him to still be watching old broadcasts thousands of years later.
13	* What is ''in'' the vortex?
14	** The amulet.
15	** Whatever the hell Roffle and Lolz wanted to put in or come out of there.
16	* In the GrandFinale Wizard!Charlie tells Original!Charlie he needs to have happy thoughts to defeat the demons. But instead Original!Charlie keeps being cynical and they get defeated anyway, even the Starfish tells him he did a good job. Was something else supposed to happen? Did Wizard!Charlie lie to him?
17	** It's possible that, like the portal's security system, there was some variable involved that he did not take into account. But honestly, with the series being as nonsensical as it is, does there really have to be an exact answer?
18	** Apparently, there was more than one way to do it. (Assuming the original plan was even going to work in the first place.) Sorcerer Charlie tells him to do it the one way, and as Series Charlie goes the other way, exclaims, "You're making the building shake! It shouldn't do that!" with what sounds like genuine distress. ...and yet, as far as we can see, that worked out. It sounds like even now, Sorcerer Charlie was dealing with things that he didn't entirely understand.
19	** Think the greater point of the series, inasmuch as it has one, is that Charlie isn't bad or wrong for being unhappy. The world is bleak, unfair, and cruel, so his reaction to it is rational. Pink and Blue, the singing porpoise thing, and Wizard!Charlie all tell Charlie to swallow his feelings and think happy thoughts, but instead Charlie sings his reprise demonstrating that he's fine the way he is and manages to save the world, anyway. Wizard!Charlie was wrong about Charlie, just as Pink and Blue were
20	** By WordOfGod, Charlie the Sorcerer intended to use normal Charlie's magic to repurpose the Chaos Spirits and start a new business venture with them.

22	* Also in the GrandFinale, what were Pink and Blue hoping to do to Charlie at the tower before Starfish and Nyx intervened?
23	** They were likely going to kill him like in episode four.
24	** WordOfGod is that they were planning to use the portal to kill Charlie just to get back at Starfish and Nyx for ruining their plans back in the fourth episode. They just didn't expect him to survive the portal.
25	* What exactly was Nyx's original plan with sending Charlie through the portal? He clearly had no idea what was on the other side, so how was he expecting this to fix all the problems?
26	** Hope and pray. Simple as that. (And for the record, it's "they".)
27	** Nyx was testing a theory. How else were they gonna find out how to fix this whole thing?
28	* We know as of the Grand Finale that Starfish was not one of the many poor souls possessed by Pink and Blue, which raises an interesting question. During the musical number in episode 3, they had to have realized he wasn't a part of the ploy. So why, with all of their power, did they not do anything about him?
29	** Blue and Pink might have each assumed that the other was controlling Starfish.
30	** They didn't think Starfish's interference would do anything.
31	*** Not only this, but WordOfGod confirms that Blue and Pink found it hilarious that Nyx was still trying to stop them after all this time, so they let Starfish be. We already know they enjoyed toying with their victims as opposed to killing them outright, so it makes sense.
32	* Why does Norwell say that the weasels indulged in "forbidden pleasures of the flesh" by eating voles when weasels are carnivorous?
33	** Perhaps the voles, like every other living creature we have seen in the series, were sentient like the weasels that killed them. Otherwise, I can't see why else Nyx and Krell would consider it a horrific sight.
34	* Okay, so if ''10,000'' years passed since the Chaos Spirits jacked everything up, how is it that when they encounter Charlie and the original Pink and Blue, why is it none of them seem aware that the world has essentially ended? After all that time?
35	** Pink, Blue, and Charlie might be considerably young, and being born at the tail-end of an apocalypse would mean that the barren world they live in is normal to them. Plus they live in the woodlands, which are pretty far removed from society at large.
