whatever you do, don’t think about river all by himself. don’t think about his brothers blaming him for their dad’s death, and river believing it’s true. don’t think about their grandfather telling them that their mom left them because she didn’t care about them. don’t think about river thinking that if he had been bigger, stronger, braver, then he could have saved his dad, and his mom wouldn’t have left.

ok big big question. who is river’s father? my heart wants to say that he is gerald’s but in black friday wiley says that only 2/4 are gerald’s, and my mind says river has to have a different dad to the other boys because… well, river is elite basically.

AU where the other gifted kids also stood up to Charles that way Lex and Hannah wouldn’t have felt so threatened that they had to leave Hatchetfield and Hannah gets to stay with her friends and Ethan would have had his opportunity to propose to Lex.

I found these in the live chat

And while I know that’s not really what happened, it’s definitely giving me an idea for a story.

If the Killer Track is a being of sound that seeks victims to prey on. Then it would be interesting if Zoey’s soul is corrupted by dark forces to create a new killer track-esque entity. One that seeks revenge on those who humiliated her during the pageant, one that seeks to fucking trend.

So if droid23 spends their honeymoon at a lake house near Starry Cove, and Starry Cove is linked to the Church of the Starry Children, then whoever might actually own the house they stay might be a member of the cult. So then that could also mean this is most likely someone Paul and Emma know personally. 

Since it’s implied in Perky’s Buds that the Perkins are linked to the Hatchetmen, then it must be Paul’s side with the connection to the Church of the Starry Children. 

So yeah, this further adds on to the Gifted Paul theory.

The other possibility is that it’s the same house Deb had a party in during Watcher World. But then that would mean Paul and Deb are linked in some way. Which also works for me since Jon and Jaime look alike anyway. It’s just a little bit less fun.
