Theory time!
//TW: This theory will have things that have been shown in Ranboo's lore stream today, so if any of that is triggering to you, it's best not to read this theory! Take care of yourselves! <3
Okay here we go

Okay here we go
Now let's start with the main points we gathered from the stream today. So clearly, after a scary meeting with Michael, Ranboo goes to Foolish to take a look at the mansion. There, slowly he becomes a bit more anxious and breathes heavier and heavier, then we see "Lesson 14" +
This prompts Ranboo to slowly freak out and leave Foolish in a rush. Ranboo begins to wander around, with more lessons popping up in the screen, or his "mind". Soon this prompts him to go to Sam, then desperately asks to be put in the prison. Sam refuses and pretty much almost +
forces Ranboo to just go back home and relax, seeing that Ranboo is clearly stressing out. As Ranboo walks home, he mentions something about opening "Pandora's Box". We'll get to that later. But as he arrives home , he finds out a way to figure out what's going on with him. He +
gets the awkward splash potion thing, which is mainy water (remember that water hurts him, being he's half enderman) and splashes it onto him, then the screen blacks out. So now here's where my theory begins. Ranboo mentions that he shouldn't have done this kid of "experiment". +
An experiment to figure out how to stop his enderwalking essentially, or at least figure it out. Now, based of of the EnderwalkARG, from the first page we found, it clearly showed that he was trying to figure out something. Seeing as there's words like "Classification, Effect, +
and History" . And then in smaller text there's ideas that have already seemed to be figured out, like he knows a general idea of what may be happening. This ties in with his lore today, seeing he was trying to know more about the enderwalk. He's trying to figure out how to +
stop it, as you see. Now let's move onto the next topic: the reason why Ranboo wants to be let in the prison. Now this is very clearly very obvious (well possibly, who knows, I mean c'mon now, it's ranboo). But anyways, he doesn't want to keep hurting people. And this could be +
proven, because if you remember, Sam mentions to Ranboo something along the lines of "but what about Michael and Tubbo? And Foolish is building you your new home", to which Ranboo responds something along the lines, "exactly" . As you see, he doesn't want to hurt anybody. He +
knows the danger of his enderwalk, and will do anything to keep the people he loves safe. Remember that Ranboo tweeted this on his alt [@/ranaltboo] on 2/23/21 : "He [c!ranboo] is very protective of what he likes and the people he trusts. He will do anything and everything to +
make sure that they are out of harm's way. Anything and everything." Anything and everything. He's willing to literally stay in prison, and away from the people he loves, just to keep them safe. No matter what the cost is. That's why he was so emotional and desperate to be put +
in the prison. And he couldn't say how he's helped Dream in the past, in fear that something worse would happen, especially being that he was talking to the WARDEN of the prison. So we do possibly know that he's very aware of how dangerous his enderwalk is. Again, this theory +
is pretty obvious and already well known. Next part! : Pandora's Box. This one's fairly simple, and could mean two things. These two things can also co-exist, but doesn't Pandora's Box sound a bit similar to Pandora's Vault? [if you don't remember, pandoras vault is the name +
of the prison. So first theory on this, the obvious and possibly just a coincidence. But, maybe it could mean he's made it easier for Dream to escape the prison. Plain and simple. But the second theory now. Now if you don't know what pandora's box is, it's a greek (I think) +
myth, where someone gets too curious and opens this box they aren't supposed to, and the box, when opened, unleashed bad things unto the world. All bad and evil things. Now, maybe Ranboo referred to this because he knows he shouldn't have experimented on the enderwalk. He knows +
that now theres no going back in what he did. He knows that nothing good is going to come out of this. He knows now that more bad things will happen, which circles back to him wanting to go into the prison and protect the ones he loves. He knows he'll end up hurting them and +
cause bad things. Even their death. So there's a more possible theory on that phrase. Now let's move onto the last main theory: the splash potion and his full enderman state. Now, this is my favorite one to think about. So why the splash potion? Well, he's half enderman, +
so clearly it's going to hurt him. Now it may have been an awkward potion, but it was still mainly water. This seems to prompted him to turn into his full enderwalk state. Now why? well, he wants answers, and clearly if he can't find that fourth book, the only way to get the +
information is from "himself" . Now clearly, his mind has two different states. His 'normal' state and the 'enderwalk' state. Now, all of the bad things happen in his enderwalk state, so he had to force that state onto himself. but how is he getting answers? well, I know this+
is a silly comparison but remember that episode of Spongebob where Squidward slowly rips money or something in front of Mr krabs while Mr Krabs is tied to a chair, and Squidward does that to get answers out of Mr. Krabs? or kind of how the Mind Flayer in Stranger Things +
"doesn't like the cold", so Joyce and the others purposely make the house cold to agitate the Mind Flayer and make it leave Will's Body. Now of course this enderwalk state won't leave for right now, but if Ranboo does things to force answers out of himself in the enderwalk +
state, even if its just forcing to be in the state himself, he can get the answers he wants and needs. Now this may open pandora's box more, but if he wants to stop all of this happening, he has to dive into dangerous territory to keep anything bad from happening again. This +
also circles back into how he's willing to do anything and everything to protect the ones he cares about. So there's my theory! I know it;s probably stupid and so off and such a stretch, but yea :).
also I didn't mention some smaller details because other people have already +

mentioned these theories and such and this thread would be way too long if I mentioned all of those too. hope you liked this ! :)
