#thats why there was a polar bear costume

[aria0fgold]

Wait I just remembered my broken theories from before I fell asleep. I was thinking about the possible motive of the murders but it went around places. Like, why was #89's story different from what Pewter said? Why was the memories in Iris' memory is also different from the story? (In the branch I went with at least). Shoko who was the first victim had a connection with Sejima, Renju has a connection with the Kumakuras and might even be connected to Sejima as well.

That last part I saw with Boss shooting Sejima makes it seem like she's targetting him specifically. So who killed Iris and Ota in that other branch? Sejima seems to have killed Iris in the current branch I'm in but why?

If Boss is the copycat, it somehow makes sense if I'm going by the small and possibly insignificant but I'm making it significant clue Iris said about Shoko's death. Boss and Pewter are the only introduced characters that knows of the ABIS and the Wadjet system. A system for the aiball to 'think.' And the fact that Date was assigned to a case he wasn't normally assigned to, it's like... a message for him specifically, for him to think.

And that part with the original cyclops killer report. It's odd, too odd. #89 talks like a lone wolf assassin, all the murders he's dealt with are covered up like accidents or suicides but the cyclopes murders are far from it. So what happened??? It's like he deliberately took the blame for it. Also the way Boss seems to be on Rohan's side LIKE--

#aria rants #ariaplays: aitsf #i may not be able to play in moderation #CUZ I WANNA KNOW SO MUCH LIKE THE PUZZLE IS SLOWLY PIECING TOGETHER #im sorry boss theres only so much copium i can inhale #and rn it aint lookin good for you #i have a feeling that in the prev branch sejima was also the one that killed iris #thats why there was a polar bear costume #and why ota got killed too cuz he was in the way #or ota mightve taken the mask off and saw the killer

Who do you think could be called Jaedo’s children, both official and unofficial? For me it is personally Jeno (more do then jae) and shotaro (newly adopted child for both). Shotaro was kinda pushed with jaedo in maw era and the christmas video had them as a trio so that is why i aligned sho with jaedo rather than yuta who seems more like a brother and less as a parenting figure. I did not put jaemin even tho he is supposedly jaes son because i dont feel they have quite a parent child relo, jaehyun seems quite apprehensive sometimes and they dont look the closest, thinking back to 2018 when jh avoided jms advances quite aggressively. Renjun i see more as what taeyong is to do, in the sense of their somewhat bickering relationship and i personally think why renjun struggles with do, although they try hard to connect is because do already has a taeyong in his life and when he tries to adjust a taeyong type person to be like a jeno relationship (adoring and doting) it is hard for renjun who is a more dominant character. Not saying tae and renjun are anything alike, its the way that they would act with do that makes them similar. Do alr has a tom and jerry type bestie and an adorable son so renjun needs to find another niche to fit into dos life. Also a couple of asks ago you talked about jaedo being more in sync than taedo. I think this is because as besties, taedo arent supposed to be completely in sync like a romantic partner is. They are opposing best friends that dont quite meet in the middle, but that is what is fun about their dynamic, they dont really have a give and take, its either both take or both give. They clash because they are independent minded and individualistic people that can risk arguing because friendship is more easily mendable than romantic relationships. Jaedo are in one mind because romantic partners complement each other in a way that they have the same general mindset and are willing to compromise. It is obvious that Jae really adores Don the way that he probably thinks that if he allows himself a bit of leeway to act affectionately with Do, he will go overboard and therefore risk exposing everything. Its either all or nothing. Do knows this and so doesnt push himself onto Jae like he does with Haechan or Taeyong or Jungwoo. Its not a scenario where one gives and the other refuses and thats kinda why i latched onto jaedo. It doesnt look like they hate each other but it seems kinda uncharacteristic for Do to sorta not give Jae much attention compared to other members he is close with given their history as mc hosts and long time friends.

Jeno.

Most of neos fall under "children" category but Doyoung goes out of his way to support and deepen his bond with Jeno. He makes sure Jeno is not drifting apart. Doyoung invites him to dinners, to guest in his vlives, calls him his son, makes him wear matching costumes for Halloween, gifts an electrical razor and a plush toy identical to his favourite (the polar bear), etc. I can't say I fully understand hyung-donsaeng system, but I know that hyungs are tasked with supervision of the younger, and this relationship often continues the whole life.

I think Haechan and Doyoung have a deeper relationship (living and singing together helps), however Jeno is a more traditional donsaeng. A younger person who listens and follows well. As for Jaemin, Doyoung sends money for his BD.

Shotaro is WinWin2. He was a helpless foreigner who needed help and guidance, so Doyoung took him under his wing. In addition to MAW and recording supervision he also treated Shota to dinners. If Shotaro is interested, there is a chance of him becoming Jeno2, I think. It will hardly happen without Shota and Do working together though. Doyoung is very busy right now to forge new deep relationships.

I can't say I know where Jeno and Jaehyun stand. Jeno likes Jae a lot, might even prefer him to Doyoung as a hyung (he dares to hesitate between the two, heh), but Jaehyun's bias is Chenle, and it shows in their interactions. They play basketball together, too. Jaehyun is like a cool uncle to Jeno rather than a second father, tbh. Or so it looks from what I've seen.

Jae helped Shota because Doyoung helped. And Shota is a nice guy like Jae. I haven't heard any more TMIs about them though. I doubt Jae will go out of his way and connect with Shota unless there is an opportunity for a chat and bonding (be it dancing lessons or video games). They look pretty compatible though. If they were to work in one unit Jae would teach Shota how to tease Do, heh.

Renjun wasn't in Rookies to imprint on Doyoung as a baby. And I agree with your thoughts and the comparison with Tae. Doyoung doesn't need a challenge in a younger neo, he has enough in Haechan. And he can't play the game of wits, he will win but only through hurting Renjun. Look how quickly Do took to making jokes about Renjun's shoulders. Taeyong takes Do's sarcasm and punches readily because it's a form of attention to him.

Agree with your take on TaeDo and JaeDo.

And it's not only Jaehyun. Doyoung needs to touch people, it's a way of connection, control and feeling the other people. His hands often work on their own. And give him a lot of bad habits. Like he can tuck a pack of MC cards between his legs and sit on them without noticing he does something not appropriate for a public event. Therefore, it's not normal that Doyoung restricts himself from touching Jaehyun, considering the latter is never opposed to it.
