greg’s ggy arc hits harder bc no one would even realize he wasn’t acting like himself, so no one knew to help him. he went to a whole new school, his parents already likely being dead, only knew tony and ellis for like a couple months, and even if he were around ppl that could’ve noticed, mimic’s version of gregory was probably just as convincing as the real one. almost like… coughs… paralleling what happens in ruin, with cassie not realizing he was a fake.
doesnt help that greg only had access to awful therapists who never took him seriously until it was too late… and the fact that he wasnt able to speak up for himself once in the tapes, whether he was controlled or not… like even if we do get new info about his situation, id say greg still had it pretty rough
gregs mind control situation feels so different than vanessas because we truly have no idea how it happened to him initially and how he broke free. for vanessa, it was being at the wrong place at the wrong time and a complete accident. for gregory, we have no clue whether it was the same
and vanessa had to be manipulated to be broken down enough to become vanny, at least initially. theres a lot of insight in the 71 tapes. tape wise though gregory isnt implied to be manipulated, but the one doing the manipulating.
was gregory manipulated to become rab? if vanessa had to be broken down for vanny/glitchtrap to control her then was gregory the same? what would have mimic manipulated with him to get him ready for rab? was he not even manipulated at all and 'the wizards most favored apprentice' is trying to tell us that since hes the favorite his control was doubled down on?? is he just so trapped and forced under because of mimic using all its energy on him that he didnt even need to be? does he get ANY freedom like vanessa does?
its just so clear that vanessa and greg had very different experiences being controlled and glitchtrapped. of course vanny hasnt gotten tons of present-vanny screentime but rab hasnt gotten ANY. most people dont even know he exists. i think something focusing on rab/gregorys end of the control and then something focusing on both rab AND vanny would be the best case scenario
