The first time Rosa visited the Von Hagen's estate:
Rosa: Hey, Marius, how old is your dad?
Marius: What??
Rosa: No, no, Is not like that... *blushes* No, it is. It's like that. How old is he? I came in here, and he is like "Do you wanna eat something?" and I said "Eat what?" *being a horny fucker*
Marius: *getting red of embarrassment* First of all, put my plate down, and second, stop hitting on my dad.
Rosa: Hey! Hey! Don't talk to me like that young man, for all you know I can be your future step mom. *Talking louder* Mister Von Hagen, I'm ready for the rest of the tour.
After that day, Marius never invited Rosa to his house again.
ToT Theory: We Already Passed The Prologue, We Just Didn't Realized It
Hi, nerds! I been on a break from playing tears of themis, bc for a while it stopped being a game I enjoy playing and started feeling more and more like a chore, but recently I started playing again, so I think I will start posting again, so yeah.
Yesterday when I got home from work, instead of my brain helping me relax, it kept bombarded me with abstract and useless concepts, preventing me from sleeping, and just like that, this theory was born.
Warning: Crack theory (I meant it), and spoilers.
I have no clue of how long you been playing tot, but let me tell you something, early game tot fandom were fighting for the lives, because of the game's prologue, that shit was crypted (I not sure if I used this right) as fuck, for no good reason. Trust me when I say, people were losing iq points trying to get some sense out of this.
So many theories were made, some saying that vyn was the villian, rosa was a traitor or amnesiac, stuff like that, but what most theories had in common was that the prologue happend somewhere in the future of the game, that eventually we would do a full circle and go back to the begining of the game.
So here is my sleep deprivation theory on this subject, the prologue happended somewhere between the blossom chapter 4 and the first year anniversary.
Hear me out, at this point of the game I fully I believe that the dream sequence was really a dream, and not a trance vision. Rosa, our sweet sweet Rosa, just received love confessions from her four good male friends, and she doesnt know what to do, she is overthinking and overanalyzing trying to decide who she should chose, because she likes all four of them in a romantic way. She is thinking about it so much that she even started dreaming about it.
In the dream sequence, she sees the boys, Luke, Artem and Marius, and its connection with them, being represented by 3 objects.
If you paid attention to the blossom chapters, you would realize that thoses objects where thing that represents Rosa getting closer to them, by the way, all of those objects where introduce in the first blossom chapter (I think is because the writes just had a general ideia of the way the story would go so they just putted there in the beginning so they wouldnt have to think to much about them). The 3 objects were, luke's box, which is a central point to his personal story, a painting Marius gifted Rosa, and a bouquet Artem sended to Rosa (I know the flower is not the same, but the change is to represent Rosa's feelings at that moment).
These 3 things, although important in helping Rosa and the ones she loved build a strong relationship, it also brings her sorrow because of her indecision. Because she cant possibly love four people at the same time, thats insane, and cruel on them.
But anyway, after that she sees herself in vyn's office, and he say some weird shit, which phrase referring to one of the boys.
Luke: he talks about the chest of memories, rosa spent 8 years think about luke, what she did wrong, why he abandoned her, just for him to throw some bullshit excuse at her, in luke's first bithday card, Rosa say that she hated luke, but she cant stop loving him. But since he came back, she started to learn more and more about him, and his new life, and she is not exactly thrilled. When it come to she and Luke, there are trust issues, that are very hard to overlook, but they learn to work it out.
Marius: he talks how Rosa pretends to be okay and she is not, and that my friends is a recurring theme in their relationship. And not only her, but Marius is the same, they are constantly trying to not let the other know whats going on, they put on this facade of "im fine, dont worry" which just let the other more concerned. They have communication problems, but as the story they learn to be more open, and properly communicate their needs and concerns.
Artem: this part is the most used in "Rosa is a traitor" theories, because vyn talks about standing by your convictions but betraying your heart. And seeds of this happening was already presented in cannon storyline and in the Artem's personal story, in chapter 3 of the cannon story, Rosa strongly believes that the law is wrong, because if mother killed to save their child, they shouldnt be punished. And Artem's blossom chapter 2, Rosa wants to go against her clients wishes and push her to put her husband to trail for domestic abuse. In both scenerios, Rosa show herself to be a very closed mind person, and if she thinks somethinf is right, she would stand by it to the very end, what ends up causing friction between her and Artem. But in the end she give up her ideials, to do the "right thing", and that is her greatest conviction, doing what is right, she doesnt always agree, and sometimes she gets hurt in the process, but she done right nonetheless. Alternatively, it could also mean, think she has to choose one boy, even if she likes all four.
And after that she start feeling overwhelmed, she is in pain, and vyn makes her go to sleep again.
Now, what about vyn? What is his part in all of this? Since they barely touched on the hypnosis subject on the game, we could link this to one other moment in the game, in vyn's blossom chapter 4, Rosa witness vyn hypnotizing a pacient to help her realize that the one she loved was only using her, which left an impact on Rosa. Maybe her subconscious thought that such practice would help her decided which boy she should choose, but that didnt help her, just left her more confused.
And then she woke up. Without having her response, and still not knowing who to pick.
I have to admit the joke was funny, but the family of blood could smell his time lord blood, so the best option was to become human (?)
Why does the process need to erase his memories? Convenience of the script
So hilarious to me that the master can be a proper legitimate politician for 18 months and have no one suspect a thing and the doctor can’t pass himself off as normal teacher for more than a few days without needing his whole brain wiped
Can any of y'all explain me how the FUCK a deck of 130204 loses a debate against a enemy with a suggested of 16802????!!!!!!!
IM ABOUT TO LOSE MY SHIT HERE!
I just blinked for half a sec, and suddenly I had lost?!
I will gaslight myself and say this is part of the event story, because Im going crazy here, cuz aint no way that really happend
EDIT: BITCH! I really didnt fucking lose, the game literally makes you lose for narrative purposes, honestly if you gona make me lose, than don't make wasted my energy, just the fucking story
I know, I know, Orange is the color of firefighters' uniforms, BUT orange is such an ugly color, couldn't they have made the uniform brown? They could have at least left him with his shirt open.
Rosa and Kiki are having a sleepover, and after a bit insistence from Kiki, Rosa gushing over about Artem:
Rosa: He called me yesterday, and he was like "I need to talk to you, this is serious", and I was like "Aham, okay?", this is very forward for him, right?
Kiki: Yeah, this is not like him at all, what did he said?
Rosa: and then said "Rosa", the sound of his caramelized voice, "Rosa" he said, "Rosa, I think I found the drug dealer who we were responsible for our case"...
Kiki: *disappointed* Did he call to say that?
Rosa: *Too caught up in her fantasy world to realize what Kiki just said* and I was like "Aham, go on!", I said that trying to sound like someo e with a normal heatbeat and with not sweaty hands. Kiki, what do you think?
Kiki: I thought he was really going to confess this time...
Rosa: *Too caught up in her fantasy world to realize what Kiki just said* "I feel like I always high when I with you" Artem said, I mean that is definitely what he was trying to say, right?
Kiki: I don't thi-
Rosa: And I feel the same way, because what we feel for each other is almost like a drug, that I love get high with. *Start screaming in the pillow, and kicking her feet*
Kiki: *sigh* I guess it's true when they say when you fall in love you get dumber *giggles*
Luke is away on mission for NSB, and calls Rosa to wish her a good night:
Luke: I don't know where NXX is coming from, or who is behind it, or what they want with it. There are many things about this mystery that I don't know, but I do know two things.
Rosa: And what is it?
Luke: The first thing is that I love you (◍•ᴗ•◍)♡
Rosa: I also love you, very much. Okay, so what's the second one?
Luke: You just said it! *sigh* Rosa, I need to go, and please be patient with me, we have our voices and our cell phones, and even apart we have each other. I promise we will figure this out, we will find a cure and solve this mystery, I promise, my Watson.
This lives rent free in my head since i first played ch 7, because It's the dumbest thing and at the same time the smartest thing Rosa ever done.
Rosa is an excellent lawyer, and is very careful when using her words. She fulfilled her part of the agreement, she managed to get the accusation of the Burkes' murder dropped, and proved Jun's innocence in THIS case. But she knew that only the fact of it is associated with the Heirson showed his involvement in the nxx case, so he couldn't get away with it.
So a logical solution to get Jun to fulfill his part of the agreement, and make him suffer the consequences of his actions, was to reveal that he was the Bloodworth's killer, which is brilliant.
Because think about it, she could have omitted Jun's involvement in the murder, she had enough evidence, the time didn't add up, the cameras that showed Irine leaving the building after the murder (she was in disguise, but Rosa still finds a way to prove it was her), and that's it, she freed her client from an accusation that seemed impossible to disprove. From a professional point of view, this was the best option.
And I still think about this case, because if this weren't fiction, this case would end Rosa's career (my opinion), because who would hire a lawyer who proves her clients' innocence by accusing them of another crime? So from a professional point of view this seems dumb, but from a character building pov this is on point, because this is Rosa, he would rather take the risk of destroying his career than let a bad guy go without consequences. And I love this.
your honor there is no way my client could’ve killed this victim
