Attempts at Deep Leffen "M Theory"

**This page subject to further interpretation and reflects conclusions established by the community at present.**

Deep Leffen "M Theory" is one that can universally explain all occurrences, descriptions, and content given in the  Deep Leffen Alternative Universe.

# Meta Theory

Meta Theory suggests the essence of the Deep Leffen account is a hivemind of personalities and consciousnesses represented by the prominent figures of the smash community, mainly that of Deep Leffen and Deep Hungrybox. These consciousnesses loosely depict the real life smash community through stylized storytelling and other methods. Although highly metaphorical in nature, this theory is widely accepted by many Deep Leffen fans, including pro smasher and  Deep Leffen Lore aficionado Hugo "Hugs86" Gonzalez, who popularized the idea in one of his videos .

There are two types of actors under this theory: personalities and consciousnesses. While personalities both consciousnesses are considered "characters" in the lore, only consciousnesses are depicted as self-aware and dictate the lore through the twitter account known as Deep Leffen. Consciousnesses have the unique ability to communicate to us as the audience, although imperfectly.

Consciousnesses can be former personalities that appear sufficiently in lore to become self aware. All characters listed have the potential to become consciousnesses as the lore develops.

There are three characters that may be classified as consciousnesses:

* Deep Leffen - this consciousness speaking to us through social media is self-explanatory and seemingly dictates most of the lore.
* Deep Hungrybox - this consciousness is previously mentioned to be a doctor  and potentially communicates to the audience regarding one of  Deep Leffen's accounts through a Doctor's note.
* The "Muse" - this is a catch-all name for an unknown consciousness that dictates the Forbidden Wisdom passages.

## Relation to Deep Leffen Alternative Universe Mechanics

The concept of the twitter account being a meta depiction of the smash community complicates the literal interpretation of events in the  Deep Leffen Alternative Universe, as storytelling through this lens can mean almost anything. However, connections may be drawn as follows:

* Reincarnation = Metaphorical changes in personality, opinion, demeanor.
* Time Transcendence = Conflicting accounts as told through different consciousnesses or different versions of the same consciousness.
* Mental Disorders = Information overload or conflicts between consciousnesses
* Deities/ Demons = Inhuman attributes invoked by a consciousness to metaphorically describe or portray a situation

# Franchise Theory

Franchise Theory argues that the  Deep Leffen Alternative Universe is a franchise of games with their own story lines. The exact details and chronology of story lines remain unknown outside of the details provided by the Deep Leffen twitter account.

## Relation to Deep Leffen Alternative Universe Mechanics

The following is a list of potential parallels between known mechanics of the  Deep Leffen Alternative Universe

* Reincarnation = Characters Respawning
* Time Transcendence = Different decision trees
* Mental Disorders = A possible awareness he’s trapped in a video game, and trying to account for past save states and files
* Deities/ Demons = Imagery displayed in the Forbidden Wisdom, characters' ability to morph and revive themselves

## Franchise Title A: Pro Smasher Simulator

The storytelling of most of the  Deep Leffen Alternative Universe reads like Deep Leffen resembles William "Leffen" Hjelte, but with many bizarre twists. This is exemplified in the Hungrybox smoke uncut that brings forth many revelations about the  Deep Leffen Alternative Universe. We learn that  Hungrybox comes back from being Jigglypuffed to death. We learn that characters can morph at a moments notice. We learn that songs can play at a moments notice. We learn that scenery can change at a moments notice, even in the same paragraph . While bizarre scenery such as this is not normally depicted within each tweet, it is an important reference point for what is possible when establishing intra-tweet continuity.

Deep Leffen seldom refers to himself as an "e-hooligan"  or an "e-gamer" . While e-sports is a term that is colloquially known in popular culture, neither of these terms are frequently used outside of some trademarks and Deep Leffen. It may be implied that these new terms are in indication of an "electronic" universe that Deep Leffen resides in.

Deep Leffen notes that "every successful character is an amiibo"  while also noting that he is an amiibo himself . Whereas Nintendo franchises (both fictional and non-fictional) are prevalent throughout the  Deep Leffen Alternative Universe, suggesting each character has an amiibo form would imply that they are a part of some video game franchise.

## Franchise Title B: Forbidden Wisdom

While the rest of the  Deep Leffen Alternative Universe is described in first person (and sometimes second person), all of the forbidden wisdom tweets take place in the third person  . Another distinguishing factor in the Forbidden Wisdom passages that they are told in a more mythological prose, implying that it is a different world all-together.

**Synopsis**

The world begins split asunder, presumably between two factions: the Kingdoms of Light and Darkness. On the precipice of Armageddon by the hands of Hell and the Kingdom of Darkness, "The Darkest Leffen", a denizen of the Kingdom of Darkness rises up with his army, the Tempus Frangare (which roughly translates to " the Shattered Time") to conquer the landscape of hell in the midst of Armageddon. He wields an immense amount of power, having been able to bring hell to it's knees.

After banishing the Evoker in the Battle of Blood, "The Darkest Leffen" was able to to enter the gates of hell, silencing and crushing those before him. He opens the gates of the underworld with his sword and slaughters the legions of Hell that attempt a rally against him. Next, he turns to the Kingdom of Light. The Sentinel Army of the Kingdom of Light is unable to stop him as he ascends to the "summit of light".

Then, in the darkest hour, "The Darkest Leffen" renounces his allegiances and power and swears loyalty to the Kingdom of Light. In doing so, he declares and upholds peace against the two kingdoms for many years. However, the Hungerer, Devour of Worlds, believes himself to be the "Shatterer of Peace" as foretold in a prophecy. Gaining immense power by slaying gods and accessing the Forbidden spells. "The Hungerer" appears before "The Darkest Leffen".

"The Darkest Leffen" puts up no resistance to the prophecy, but claims that the universe would once again inherit times of peace. After defeating "The Darkest Leffen", "The Hungerer" buries his childhood friend in the ground, fulfilling the prophecy. Yet it was "The Darkest Leffen" who was the person the prophecy foretold of, invoking complete free will throughout the universe. "The Hungerer", still believing himself to be the "Shatterer of Peace", sets out with his army to conquer the Kingdom of Light and return the Kingdom of Darkness to it's former glory.

## Connections between Franchises

Establishing connections between Franchise Titles is essential to determining the nature of the characters the Franchise is based on. In video game franchises, characters are sometimes known to appear differently and in different worlds while retaining some commonality. Some examples of this include Mario, Legend of Zelda, Kirby, and other famous Franchises.

In Chapter 6 of the the Forbidden Wisdom passages, it is revealed that Darkest Leffen and The Hungerer are considered to be childhood friends . We know from  Deep Leffen's other accounts that they knew each other in high school   and are generally considered "friends" through their interactions. For this reason theorists believe that the Hungerer is the representation of  Hungrybox, just as the Darkest Leffen is the representation of Deep Leffen.

The Hungerer's promise to the return the Kingdom of Darkness to its former glory also parallel's  Hungrybox's devotion to the god Moloch. Moloch is said to be an "extinguisher of life", an "artist of death", and a god that "only appear[s] to someone fill themselves with true dread" . All of the above descriptors are indicative of the Hungerer, the champion of the Kingdom of Darkness and one who shatters peace.  Hungrybox retains this dark, murderous personality in his murdering of  Deep Leffen's neighbor  and his transformation into Giygas .

The events described in the Forbidden Wisdom passages imply the birth of free will, a possible explanation to the prevalence of  time transcendent characters and, in the case of a video game franchise, divergent timelines. The invalidation of the prophecies resembles the tweet about Hungrybox that first disproved linear time and linear tweet chronology . This same tweet notably alludes to  deities, including Moloch, a god of dark powers that Hungrybox sides with, resembling the dark allegiance of "the Hungerer".

One may assume that Deep Leffen and Hungrybox are the two flagship characters of the video game franchise. They remain the only two characters that can seemingly manipulate the rules of the worlds they reside in, and are by far the most talked about. Other characters will inevitably join them in this regard, but no other characters can connect both franchise titles and mechanics of the video game franchise so eloquently, making Deep Leffen and Hungrybox unique.

## Other Franchises

The existence of  Other Franchises, both fictional and non-fictional, adds credence to Franchise Theory by establishing the existence of at least one other universe in which the characters are bound to.
