i'm going to be clear that i dislike the theory that andi "took" frankie's job. i believe that the two are a package-deal-do-not-seperate-them and makes me think that the company did this to them (separate them). the duo are competent on mechanics and software engineers but it seems that they work better together.

also for andi to take frankie's dream job kind of sucks because they have been friends since childhood. preferably andi got it on her own rather than taking a job from her childhood friend. it would remind me as the story of eda and lilith in a way by both our duo if that ever happened..

this take im placing is a little biased due to the part of my ideologies of friendship, however i admit that i have been jealous of my friends before.

i genuinely think if they go over this plot, it would cause a strain as they are the KNIGHTS of guinevere. it's clear that she cares for frankie and even is willing to go to get gwen even if they're breaking protocol. additionally, andi seems so dissatisfied at the job and knows what's going on inside as an engineer that could stir frankie's hopes to the same pessimism. additionally, i think the guilt of taking frankie's job would sort of eat andi.

and yet i have been overthinking every promo art or video, even the last shot.

it's genuinely possible for andi to have it as it also says with the work ethics in the park. the fact that if the animatronic fails, blue blood gushes out could be an ethical problem for the company which we already see in the factory frankie works with:

see with andi's animatronic head once it fails:

who's to say that she hasn't accidentally inhaled some of it while working? okay but then why am i overthinking every detail?

exhibit a: a user, who i forgot i apologize, pointed out that the blue blood streak is directly on andi's side which can be subtle foreshadowing. you counterargue that it's the direction where they placed guinevere there but i'm not done–

exhibit b, a print art by this lovely twitter user – that i shall link the post instead – for andi's va.

again, what is with the blue blood always with andi? you can say that the print art isn't official. again this is speculation but why is it though that andi keeps being surrounded with it and it came from andi's va who would know what is up or not. i don't know this is just a tweakfest.

okay, then exhibit c: the new promo video for the merch with this shot.

we know that frankie's teeth are being pulled by sparky, but what about andi's organs? what about them to be given emphasis? though it's never specified what organ as it would be on the nose. if the organ was the stomach specifically there then would andi accidentally swallowed blood or got infected by saliva/mouth like that guy who went up to her when she got fired that started coughing? possibly.

lung (hemoptysis) & digestive (hematemesis) diseases can cause people spit or choke up blood or something akin to the situation for our main cast's earth. if so then it must be something like a pneumonia cranked up in the worst way possible. then again, she did say "organs" which could be more than just the lungs.

AJ: "We are talking about making these kids happy."

Andi: "Yes. We're talking about making these kids happy not letting the animatronic malfunction and let them get blue lung disease when the blue blood oozes out. It's not a legal issue."

AJ: "Are you being intentionally dense?"

the claw machine imagery is connected to when andi and frankie first met guinevere.

the two didn't really get the guinevere plushie but meet her instead. maybe, i'm reading into it but it seems that guinevere won't be dropping them down in the illustration. i like to assume that it means that the women are stuck in the situation and are unable to leave whatsoever with guinevere now on their side.

BUT THEN THIS ILLUSTRATION BY dreamaruu ON TWITTER

update: I GET IT NOW ON ALL THREE

frankie's symbolism here in the pilot is very noticeable, in which she might be hallucinating:

guinevere is the ring halo machine that'll help her reboot– I ONLY NOTICED UPON REWATCHING A CLIP.

with andi, it's not very much clear (i'm a little dense), but i assume it's like a vacation of sorts or living in a better life than in that park.

even if the promo art only is jabbing at the pilot at the moment. there's a possibility that they will all show up again and again in future eps, we see the most out of it with frankie and guinevere. though i'm super curious with andi's.

i am so curious to know more of andi and her relationship dynamic with guinevere cause at the moment it's mostly on frankie. i am just thinking of possibilities that she might not like guinevere or the system of the world because of it all especially she got fired. their dynamic, i assume, would andi softening to guinevere after hardening when she got older. ARGHH I WANT MORE OF THEM.
