#Jahad prince(s). Aria. 3 eyes and the cross in Bams cave. Plants and machines. Souls. Gustang. Arlene. V. Bam. Jahad. all of it

Sometimes I wonder if snow has a lot of significance in ToG.

About Horyang (Ilmar): during his backstory, after becoming the devil's right arm, we see he's being transported somewhere unknown. When I was reading this part, I remember it felt like Horyang was being transported to either be discarded/ destroyed, or sold to someone because the Workshop was done with him. Anyway Headon appears, the transport driver is shocked, Horyang is taken by Headon, and that's how Horyang ended up climbing the Tower. (S2 chapter 42).

The place Horyang was being transported to was over a body of water, and it was snowing. Horyang stated that it was his first snow back then, and that he thought it was beautiful. In the distance, there seems to be a fuzzy silhouette of maybe a giant tree or multiple trees.

About Wangnan: there's a scene (S2 chapter 230) where Wangnan tells Miseng that he was born in a cold place, and the Hell Train's cold climate is easy for him to deal with.

About Arlene: we learn in season 3 that Arlene has stayed at a place called Seolhyangwon that has eternal snow within it (S3 chapter 132).

------------------

What if all three of these mentions of snow and the cold are connected? Maybe it's a coincidence that they all have something to do with cold weather (and the possible tree silhouette in Horyang's flashback and Seolhyangwon is a coincidence too), but I have a hard time ignoring coincidences in this story 😅 Hopefully we get to see more Arlene/ Bam/ V/ Jahad/ Wangnan lore in the upcoming arc

#ramblings #I'm going to go insane if this theory comes true ever #tower of god #webcomic #text #snow #meta #I kinda wonder if the Workshop is deeply ingrained with all the mystery of the tower #Jahad prince(s). Aria. 3 eyes and the cross in Bams cave. Plants and machines. Souls. Gustang. Arlene. V. Bam. Jahad. all of it #my brain is kicked back into gear thinking deeply about ToG lore again #I like the theory that Wangnan is a piece of one original Prince of Jahad #like Wangnan is the piece of 'adventure'. Karaka the piece of 'heart' or 'defense' or 'revenge' #the Bosses are other pieces #etc etc #and it was all because Jahad couldn't have children so he had to experiement with the Workshop or something #and the Red Light District was burnt to the ground because of covering things up yadayada #Wangnan and the other princes are seeds that are connected to the Workshop (cough plant and machine??) #and like. a place where people hide or are discarded at is a place of eternal snow and trees #a place where Horyang was planned to be discarded at. Wangnan was born. and where Arlene hid. #not sure where my brain is going with this. goodbye!!
