Skully J Graves - Blog Posts

Yuu: Sooo, would you mind living with us? We only have one room, unfortunately Scully: But you have a lot of rooms... Yuu: *boards up doors to other rooms* No.

In reference to @the-necromancer-wife 's recent theory about Skully. Imagine he just feels a bit of remorse for turning people in pumpkins, especially in rage.

Check out their blog for the full theory.

That would explain a lot actually. Especially if it was a parent or sibling or other family member. And what if he didn't know how to turn them back from pumpkin to human again before the pumpkin rotted away or was squashed? The guilt has to be eating at him.

I like this theory! Nice one @the-necromancer-wife! This could explain also why he has pumpkin bags- to keep them safe while he walks. He couldn't keep them safe before with walking, so he carries a bag to ensure the safety of whoever is in the pumpkin now.

OKAY HEAR ME OUT (please)

TW: Trauma//Psychological analysis

For someone so obsessed with the idea of true horror, Skully has an amazingly non-scary Unique Magic.

I mean, I tried. I tried imagining something scary about being turned into a pumpkin. You can't move your limbs, you're confined into that round shape that can be crushed if someone steps too hard on you. Still didn't seem an Unique Magic someone as him would have. Someone that gave such a dark speech about what halloween should be about.

And I thought about his words...

"Halloween is always serious and solemn, isn't it? So first, remove all the decorations. Then, paint the room completely black to recreate the atmosphere of night."

"The only thing they have left to survive the night is a single pumpkin, which they rely on to light a fire in the emptiness. Then you will feel a creeping fear..."

When I read those words for the first time I wondered why he mentioned a pumpking instead of a regular candlelight.

But seeing his unique magic, plus the fact he's still not very proficient with it, made me wonder further:

What if Skully turned someone into a pumpking? Someone he cared about. Someone who was important for him. And then, because he's still learning to control his magic, he couldn't turn them back.

What if he stood alone, in the dark, the pumpkin in his hands, shaking and completely terrified because of what he just did?

And what if this happened on Halloween Night, october 31?

That would explain his take on what Halloween should be about. I mean, for him, is not a time for celebration. It's a reminder of the mistake he made. And he said that himself:

"It is for reflecting on one's actions and atoning for them. It's meant for fear."

It would be entirely possible that he repeated the experience over and over, every year, making a funeral out of this day is his coping mechanism.

Additionally, he's doing what is called "Repetition Compulsion" according to Sigmund Freud (i know psychoanalysis is not the best psychology school but i very much prefer it) where the individual may place themselves in the same situation repeatedly, even if it is something they would prefer to avoid. And that includes repeating trauma.

Of course this compulsion can be considered a coping mechanism but also has a lot of other factors such as emotional dysregulation or being a consequence of a certain personality trait.

And why seeking this situation instead of avoiding it? Well, trauma manifest in different ways for each individual and some of them unconsciously seek out reminders of their trauma as a way to gain clousure.

According to Bowins B. in "Repetitive maladaptive behavior: beyond repetition compulsion":

By re-experiencing the trauma, they link the past to the present and they are able to gain some type of mastery or resolution. Unfortunately, this is rarely the case, and instead, people find themselves stuck in a pattern of maladaptive behavior.

Plus, imagine if the anniversary of something so tragic coincidentally is the day of a major celebration. Everyone laughing and singing and enjoying themselves and then there's Skully. He has nothing to celebrate for.

You know, the fact he has a lot of sprites beneath his glasses... are these just the base or are we gonna have a scene where someone breaks his glasses?

Warning- Mentions of Eating Disorders Below CuT

This just came to me out of nowhere but what if Skully, our lovable goof in the newest Twst event, has an Eating disorder?

Think about it. He either admired Jack Skellington so much, he starved himself to look like him the best he could.

Or

He had the Eating Disorder prior to being obsessed to Jack and now cosplays as Jack to cope and hide that fact.

Or

Maybe I'm overthinking again about how serious his dedication to his osshi is.

This was me thinking about if he ever gets hungry in this event like back in the Stitch one, where everyone on that team still felt hunger on that island. If Skully was also sucked into the book, he still has his senses, like hunger.

But then again, he's obsessed with Jack so... who knows what's going on under that fan boy grin?

To anyone who has commented his name being something with Skulls or Bones or even a J name, you win!🥳

Skully J. Graves! (I fear for what his twst en name will be now)

The J is for "Jack" or "Jack o lantern" I'm calling it

He's his son

He's 100% Jack Skellington's son and he got his unhinginess from his papa

You cannot change my mind

this is how the event ended right
