History WMG / CucumberQuest

Also, it's hard to notice, but you can see that Ametrine is wearing a 'f' necklace, similar to Piano's 'p' necklace. It's very likely that the 'f' stands for 'forte' (a musical term meaning 'loudly'), since the 'p' in Piano's necklace stands for her name ('piano', besides meaning the instrument, is also a musical term meaning 'softly' or 'quietly'; yes, it's an IronicName). It's possible that the matching necklaces is a symbol of their friendship, or maybe even their romantic love for each other.

* Jossed

* Jossed, it's [[http://cucumber.gigidigi.com/cq/page-524/ Rosemaster.]] However, the "inverse naming" theory is confirmed, as she was originally called Thornmaster (as in "every flower has its thorns").

* Unlikely, as of 824-828. After all, [[Spoiler: they share a common weakness.]]

How else would a 'glitch' exist but as a malfunction in something else? In this case, inside the system of an otherwise only slightly eccentric, techno-savvy princess...who seems to have constant problems with their otherwise fine inventions constantly 'glitching'

It's very odd that both Thebestmaster AND Steve were apparently sealed. And one had to be released before the other could be released. It's stated that the Nightmare Knight we know never had a childhood, which means he didn't came into the world by natural means (i.e. being born). Whatever powers that be that created the Knightmare Knight also created Steve, but he just wasn't villainous enough to be a real threat and his own Disaster Master, Besty, was also subpar. This might be why he was sealed, because he was too weak for the job.

Gigi's already had a lot of inspiration from [[VideoGame/{{PaperMarioTheThousandYearDoor}} TTYD,]] so why not add in something inspired from that and would likely cause Cucumber to embrace his role as not the Legendary Hero, but as someone fighting for Dreamside as a whole. ThePowerOfFriendship would fit in a comic like this anyway.

Maybe it's a little too predictable, but it could end with Peridot telling the Nightmare Knight something like "You're my ''real'' hero", which would be freakin' adorable.

* [[spoiler: Actually confirmed! Saturday and Azalea are the same person.]]

Just a hunch.

[[http://cucumber.gigidigi.com/cq/page-827/ We see Peridot crying and surrounded by orbs]] when Cordelia reminisces on how they met. These could be what she believed were the dream stones, and attempted to summon the Nightmare Knight for whatever reason; when they didn't work and/or a space ship landed right in front of her, she broke down crying and Cordelia took pity.

In the first book, the [[https://comicscube.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/cucumber_quest_donut_kingdom_map.png map]] of the Donut Kingdom shows the strange platform in the middle of it. The flavor text mentions that it's rumored to be a portal to an "alternate world" of Dreamside. The platform itself is noticeably the kind of purple associated with the Nightmare Knight, and Besty outright mentions a "portal" on page 813. Steve seems to be the outright opposite of the NK, from being shorter and skinny to outwardly nicer, possibly indicating he's an alternate counterpart.

...seen [[http://cucumber.gigidigi.com/cq/page-728/ here]], is ''not'' Quakemaster, and they are not in the Crystal Kingdom. Instead, they reign over the Sky Kingdom. Going by the "inverse naming" theory, their name would be "Stormmaster" or something like that.

* Looks pretty unlikely at this point, since [[spoiler: Azalea was confirmed to be the Flower Kingdom princess.]] Unless she happened to have a renegade sister, which is unlikely. [[spoiler: Actually confirmed! Saturday and Azalea are the same person.]]

They both seem have crushes on each other, due to how often they end up helping each other out. Either that, or Peridot's love in unrequited.

Taking into account the Knightmare Knight's jaded attitude, how he's doing everything like he's going through the motions to the point of almost looking tired of it, like he's acting out a role in a play he hates. Consider how he straight up saved the Melody Kingdom when it came into ''real'' danger, or even how he actively helped Cucumber past the magical locked door. Consider their surprisingly similar personalities, and how Cucumber showed instant proficiency in using the magic of the disaster stones. [[spoiler: It's not impossible the Knightmare Knight was the previous hero, having defeated his predecessor and forced into taking the mantle, ''just as his predecessor had''. He may be jaded because he knows Cucumber will succeed, only to be become the next Knightmare Knight and continue the cycle.]]

* Cosmo's gender hasn't really been specified. The reason why s/he isn't in the Space Kingdom is because s/he is in Dreamside, trying to escape the dastardly Glitch Master (Mentioned [[http://cucumber.gigidigi.com/cq/page-508/ here, as Glitch----]]). Another great twist would be for Cosmo to be a boy-making him a Prince-which would create a whole new set of problems stemming from how there is no princess, a princess needs to sign the sword, etc.

[[WMG: The reason why everyone is CONTANTLY forcing for Cucumber to be a hero is because....]]

[[WMG: Cordelia is a vampire]].

* As a side note, it's likely that NK, after sealing away Steve in Drain World, impersonated Steve and tried to get Besty to be scary; when that proved impossible, he just sealed Besty away too.

We're on strip [[http://cucumber.gigidigi.com/cq/page-811/ 811]] as of this writing. Steve seems to be the exact opposite of the Nightmare Knight, so since Nighty seems imposing but is actually tragic, maybe Steve's seemingly friendly behavior is just a facade. Maybe ''that's'' why Thebestmaster is afraid of him! Look how Steve's smile falters in the last panel. Maybe he's just trying to reassure Thebestmaster, but maybe he's going to fly into a rage in the next strip.
