Misfile/WMG: Difference between revisions

She's impulsive, easily distracted, seems bright enough (she started working on cars at a very young age), but is reckless.

(Male pronouns used for Ash)

Ash is/was a nice guy who didn't have much experience with girls. He has trouble going from telling a girl that he likes her to the stage where he does something about it. Thus, all the girls he goes out with will have to take the more dominant, ie 'male' part in the relationship. Look at Ash's past relationships: With Missi, even Ash was aware that Ash was the 'girl'. After Emily groped Ash's boobs, we saw Ash have a private 'Girly' reaction, while there was no matching scene of Emily. Plus, in the Misfile comic posted July 7, it's clearly Emily who's pushing the relationship to sharing a bed with Ash.

Ergo, Ash had better learn to accept it and, if Emily and Ash have a lesbian wedding, Ash should just accept the fact that Emily is the one people will be expecting to wear the tux. Besides, I could totally see Ash in a lacy / sexy wedding gown Ash's mom selected for 'her'.

* No, Emily would be in the dress because she has no problem with wearing dresses and wants to think of Ash as a guy so she can get used to her attraction to him. Most likely she'd want him to stay as masculine as possible. Doesn't mean she won't be the more dominant one, though.

== The misfile was part of an elaborate [[Gambit Roulette]] by 'The Monster' car to will itself into existence and to create for itself the perfect racing team. ==

Ash, as male, was a talented driver/mechanic but who had no contact with his mother and whose dad often assigned him heavy chores. As a girl, Ash has contact with her mother (who paid for the Monster's engine), has met with the perfect team manager and engineer (Ash can't do everything by herself, after all), and now has the Angels for her dad to dump the heavy chores on.

It has been established that God knows about the misfile, but for some reason has decided not to do anything about it. As a result of this, two angels are currently hanging around in an obscure town in the middle of nowhere that has coincidentally been haunted by two evil spirits and where an archon has recently been murdered. With the hints that the other archons are disappearing, something evil is clearly going on and only a ridiculously circuitous plan can stop it.

* Maybe God is just altruistic. He doesn't want to trap Ash and Emily in their misfiled lives, so he doesn't tell the angels about the mistake. However, he also wants them to meet each other, grow from the experience, and ultimately be able to choose which life they would rather live, so he doesn't prevent the misfile before it happens. Although he probably wants to stop whoever is killing the angels, he has provided that entity with free will, which he wants to allow that person/angel/whatever to express.

** I thought Egypt myself, could be anywhere really no shortage of heavnly fire in the bible.

** Actually, Vashiel could not be responsible for any Biblical smitings. He was [http://www.misfile.com/?page=1034 just earing his sword] during Rumi's childhood.

**** No that fire was caused by some aliens fighting with the Doctor.

* Don't forget, Ash wants to get back to normal, but Emily wants to keep her new life. Relationships are two sided, so even if Ash is written back to normal and Emily isn't, Emily will have hung out with Ash, likely as the girlfriend, but since it isn't said that 'Girl-Ash' and James weren't a couple, just still best friends (even if they did go for it), she could have just been the best friend (since she may have still vehemently denied being the girlfriend in 'Guy-Ash' reality), while Ash would have paired up with Missy, who Ash would have had no reason to break up with. Long story short, I support this theory, but I'm just pointing out that that your 'benevolent angels' theory isn't the only way it could have happened.

Given that Ash's identity crisis is a major theme of the series, and as the matters with the Angels and Heavens escalate, I'm confident that Ash will end up having to race his former self, in the form of some kind of illusionary what-if, as part of some kind of Divine Aesop proving that Ash is Ash, regardless of what the misfile says.

No, not trying to be some lame [[Nietzsche Wannabe]] here. Something must've happened to God in the Misfile universe (either he died, something unknown killed him, or he just plain lost interest and left the universe completely), which is why we don't see him at all. The [[Celestial Bureaucracy]] was set up to keep the universe in order to make it seem like God is still alive, kicking, and in charge. Only the highest ranking angels know about this [[Masquerade]] and the recent assassinations are an attempt to destablize the order and unravel said [[Masquerade]].

Either because of or resulting in the weirdness of what happened with James. Rumsiel and post-Misfile Ash were shown playing some sort of bikini beach game (I don't recall if it was volleyball or a [[Dead or Alive|DOA]] [[Xtreme Kool Letterz|Xtreme]] [[Spin-Off|Beach Volleyball]]-style "[[Jiggle Physics|jubble-centric]]" minigame pack, but either way, it was almost definitely Ash's from pre-Misfile. 1) Ash was broke from the misfile until after the appearance of the game. 2) so was Rumsiel. 3) Ash's father wasn't surprised to see her playing it, and would ([[Even Evil Has Standards|despite his perversions]]), be unlikely to play such a game around his daughter (based on comments from Dr. Upton himself).

* It isn't unheard of for straight girls to buy fanservicey games like that.

* So then why is Kate's sister Angelica still dead? If Rumisiel had misfiled Angelica to have survived, then Kate wouldn't have gotten possessed and gone nuts, she was the cause of several injuries, such as Aiden's, and had caused people to quit racing. Also, wouldn't it have been easier to simply give Molly the same misfile as Emily so neither would go to the party rather than turn ash into a girl. Sure Molly would be pissed off at Rumisiel for altering her life, but I think she would eventually come to like the misfile for giving her of what she would likely call "two more years of parties and dating"

* I don't know anything about either school, but your description seems plausible enough. It also helps since when Emily and her mom went to look at colleges, Emily's Mom said they would also touring MIT, so it probably means that as long as its prestigious and while Harvard is the best case scenario in her mind, Emily's Mom would be willing to compromise, though they would likely argue about Emily wanting to go into a career involving cars.

He appears shortly after an angel is found dead. Ever since he met Rumisiel, he's done nothing but tempt the poor guy further down the path of vice. Vashiel has a history with him, and clearly hates him as a result. He even looks like a bad guy. He could possibly be a fallen angel, working for Satan and trying to bring the whole [[Celestial Bureaucracy]] down.

== Missi is about to get some serious [[Character Development]] and possibly be truly [[Rescued Fromfrom the Scrappy Heap]]. ==

* This could explain why he lets Rumisiel stay around even though he's a bit of a leech. He thinks Ash may be transgender or a lesbian. If she has a boyfriend and he encourages it, she might be coming out of a phase or 'cured' (I apologise in advance to all LGBT people who may be offended by that). He may not be homophobic, but it is true a lot of people are fine with homosexuality except among their family. After all, his hopes the pair of them are going to get married some day is pretty clear he's willing to accept any guy his daughter likes.

We know Ash likes Emily and Em likes Ash back, but cannot accept she is attracted to a girl. We've seen that as a girl, Ash and James would have been together, so obviously it can work the other way. Cape Cod could be explained by Em encouraging Ash to finally contact his mother and the summer vacation was for them to reconnect, maybe with Em being the one who wore Ash's dress. James and Ash falling out could be Ash prioritizing Emily. The race against Kate could have been Kate seeing how much Emily cares about Ash, or maybe Em asks Kate not to kill Ash, which gets her to thinking about her views on life and getting over her sister. Missi, maybe Ash and Em break up for a while and Missi was Ash's rebound, but he realises he loves Emily and they get back together, he still dates Missi but remains friends with Emily and that causes some issues or Missi is trying to break the two up so she can date Ash. Oh, and Emily staying around in Tempest could be her deciding to miss college for a year to figure out what she wants to do and also to wait until Ash is old enough to come with her.

We've never had a section of the story devoted to Missi alone, showing her thought process and things like that. Ash, Emily and Rumisiel are the stars of Misfile, so they get character exploration and development, but Missi is just someone they know who hangs out with them. The only time we saw any depth was when she got drunk, because she let down her defences and confessed she feels lonely, but that seems to have mostly been ignored now. This could be because none of the main trio see past her bubbly personality and think she is naturally a happy child. Until she lets down her defences again or maybe we see some of her thought process, she will never be able to grow.

Think about it. We only have Rumisiel's word that "mistakes are covered up" by his superiors.

* My theory is that the files list people who would be attracted to Ash, or could grow an attraction. Say, in Emily's file it says "If you hung out with Ash Upton for a few weeks, you'd want to date him.' This also explains Missi, who admitted she never even considered the possibility of being attracted to girls until Rumi said Ash was interested in her. However she was probably bi or just very open since she went for it almost right away. Also, Emily has never shown any attraction to other girls and is squicked out by the idea of being with Ash in his current body.

Em has always known Ash as a girl and is attracted to him as such. Her having to teach him about bras and pads and such was how they bonded, and Ash's insecurity is part of who she loves. All of a sudden, she has this guy she knows is the same person, but she can't think of as the same.

** Alternatively, he'll be friendzoned.
