r/insideout

I’ve been thinking about the characters lately, and it got me wondering about Riley's full name. We know her parents are Bill and Jill, and they have that grounded, Midwestern vibe.

If Riley had a middle name, what do you think would fit her best?

Personally, I feel like her parents would choose something classic but not too old-fashioned. Something typical of a girl born in the Midwest in the 2000s. And definitely NOT Elphaba as suggested by some headcanons. Maybe something like:

Riley Jane Andersen

Riley Grace Andersen

Riley Mae Andersen

Riley Marie Andersen

What are your headcanons or theories? What middle name sounds the most natural for her character and background?

If a future inside out film focused on an emotion other than joy, who would you want it to be ?

I think a film with sadness as the main character could be very interesting, especially considering she was the second main character of the first film.

Inside Out 2 is set not long after Riley turns 13, and she’s starting high school even though kids usually start high school at age 14.  And remember she graduated top of her middle school class, so we know she’s an excellent student.

It seems plausible she skipped a grade then, but that would make her a year younger than her classmates in Minnesota and later in San Francisco.  This is never mentioned at all, and you’d think it would be if that were the case.

If she is a year younger than her classmates, that begs the question of why Bree and Grace don’t look like they’re older than Riley.  We know they’re not in a lower grade level, because they started high school at the same time she did.  So unless their district has a really strange system to determine when someone starts, I am totally confused.

According to the pixar theory everything is connected does that mean that all characters in pixar movies have the inside out emotions in their head?

My dark idea occurs during the 2nd movie.

After the new emotions are introduced, they struggle at first to work together on navigating Riley through her first day of high school, instead of the hockey camp in the original movie, and then after a few struggles, Anxiety says that it's no use for them to work like that, And just like in the original movie, she has the original emotions put into a bottle and sent it down to be locked up in the secret mind prison.

But then, Anger says that they'll just break out in head right back to finish the job, So anxiety arranges for them all to be executed by hanging in a week.

From there, the emotions are given orange one piece prison jumpsuits with zippers, and brown shoes, and are locked in the mind prison in cells, and The emotions must figure out a way to escape before the execution In a week.

A week later, Joy accepts the fate, and they’re all taken to a public hanging execution event at “Dream Productions”. It ends on a very somber note.

That is my idea for a creepypasta based off the movie. It’s very dark but that’s the point. No, I do not hate this movie in real life and I think it’s amazing.

Please reach out to me in the comment down below if anyone’s interested in helping me out with this because I’m trying to make this a story with an online script role-play. Anyone interested?
