#And I'll be honest. Usually I just keep theorising to myself unless I'm super certain or enough other people think similarly

having to make myself just pull back a second and go for "simplest explanation that fits all the facts and isn't accidentally inferring beyond the facts we do have".
#I tend to not want to eliminate possibilities so long as there's even a small chance of them happening and I get why#but at the same time I've ended up doubting things that I think in retrospect I should have taken at face value.#so being sus of ltx beyond the point at which it was clear she wasn't some secret mastermind and wondering if chen bin was even possessed.#and I've ended up making assumptions without realising we're not actually shown it (re: presuming photo possession allowed control)#I think it's mainly just frustrating because in retrospect I can see the clues all lining up. it's not that it wasn't fair play.#the pieces were all there.#link click#link click spoilers#(for the tags :V)#And I'll be honest. Usually I just keep theorising to myself unless I'm super certain or enough other people think similarly#because sometimes I'm on point and can't explain why and other times I trust hunches and don't realise that's what I'm doing so get confuse#when suddenly a piece of media seems to 'contradict' itself. when it's actually just contradicting what I thought I'd inferred#just. taking a step back and trying to apply the simplest explanation that fits. applying common sense as to what fits within genre etc.#I feel really weird about meta-gaming theorising using stuff like current pacing etc but at the same time it's still data that's available#and as long as it's not stuff like idk an interview giving it all away I don't think it's necessarily 'cheating'?#(may delete later idk)
