Did a thing on Twitter where people could give a character and a random number corresponding to outfits on this Pinterest board and someone suggested Sigma in #32
OK here’s the sigma post. something i see people throw around a lot is the idea that fyodor / the decay of angels was responsible for bringing sigma into the world. it seems like a pretty popualr fanon / fan theory, and as fun as it is i believe that is… just not true, which i think is clearer if you think about what fyodor says regarding him
fyodor is a very particular guy. he wordsthings very particularly. when he talks about things the doa have used the page for, he says “the page” (example here)
however, when he talks about sigma’s birth…
“sigma was written into the book” he says. and the visuals are very specific, too–when the pageis talked about, the visuals are always that onepage. take this example, when tachihara breaks from the page’s hold:
or this, during the sunday tragedy conclusion
it’s just the one page, every time. but with sigma, it was the whole book. so i think we can assume, yeah, he was written into the book proper, not just onto the page. the problem with that is, well, the decay of angels doesn’t havethe book. they only havethat one page, that’s why it’s guarded so heavily (being kept on fukuchi at all times). if the doa had the book they wouldn’t have to worry so much about the page being taken from them
so, uh. that brings some pretty big implications, and bigger questions. the decay of angels doesn’t have the book, but someonemust havewrote sigma into it. which means there is someone out there we haven’t seen yet who has the book,or at least access to it, and they’re responsible for sigma’s birth. so. who is it, where are they, and why was sigma created, if it wasn’t by the doa to help with their plan? what’s their goal?
I mean I did sort of wonder why Sigma would have been human trafficked if the DoA wrote him into the book for their own purposes. Like wouldn’t they know where he…I don’t know, spawned? Or would he have appeared in front of whoever wrote him?
There’s the argument of “they wanted Sigma to be desperate to have a place to belong, to better follow the DoA’s orders,” but they could always alter his personality using the book.
And another thing, the hand writing the page. They are wearing gloves, it could be anyone.
However, Fyodor knows the origins of Sigma’s birth, so that arises other questions: if Fyodor did not write Sigma, how did he know where he came from? And is Fyodor manipulating them as well, or in vice-versa?
nikolai does not need to tell the waiter “he asked for no pickles” for sigma because sigma is Perfectly capable of telling the waiter they made a mistake on his own (he’d have been a shoddy manager if he couldn’t even do that). but sigma Also has to ask for no pickles for nikolai, not because nikolai is too shy / unwilling to do so on his own, but because nikolai literally cannot be trusted to interact with other human beings and sigma is tired of being banned from places for life
[ID: The “me explaining to my mom” meme. On the left there is an image of Gogol staring creepily. He is captioned: “Nikolai about to ruin his whole career.” On the right there is an image of a scared Sigma. He’s captioned: “Sigma who has just fallen from the sky.” End ID]
