I Have Two Braincells And Both Are Rentals

I might be late on this train because I waited to play the chapter on stream but. Why does she seem SO connected to like three other characters?? It makes her stand out in a really strange way that makes her feel super important compared to the other flowers.

Her dialogue contains a ton of allusions towards Jevil: she has the same laugh, she mentions chaos, she mentions the world revolving. These are not subtle references, she is practically INVOKING Jevil with these lines. Girlie LOVES to say Jevil stuff. This is super weird because logically there is no way for her to have ever met Jevil. There is a thematic connection here with Aqua seemingly being defined by the pursuit of fun, specifically wanting to entertain Asgore, which makes her equivalent to Jevil in being the jester of Asgore's court. But it really feels like there's more going on.

Second connection: Kris. Aqua also has a ton of connections to Kris. She points out herself how they both have light blue skin in the dark world, and her bright red bow feels roughly equivalent to the red horns Kris wore as a kid. They also both have knives. It makes her feel like a sort of representation of a younger Kris. Perhaps Asgore's influence is felt here? During Asgore's monologue later in the chapter, there is a silhouette of a younger Kris, and it is depicted as being the same light blue color that Aqua is. Definitely does not feel like a coincidence. And that's not even mentioning the optional scene where Kris literally dresses up as Aqua, practically screaming their similarities at the player. I should also mention that the Flower King dark world was specifically made by Kris, so things being influenced by Kris' past is not particularly strange. Still, Aqua is by far the character that has the MOST connections to Kris.

Finally why the fuck does Aqua look so much like "Eram", the shadow mantle boss from chapter 3? Like I'm not crazy right? There's the toothy grin, the way her eyes are usually hidden, and the almost horn-like silhouette of her hair. This might be a stretch but I feel like there's too many similarities for it to be coincidence in a game by Tobias Foxington.

The rest of the class action lawsuit is hereby…

THROWNITY OUT!

The Court find’s you’ve breached your duty of care.

Oompa Loompa doopity disk,

That’s what the courts call assumption of risk.

What’s to be learned from these children unleashed,

Wreaking their havoc in Loompaland’s streets?

While not the fault of our Wonka entire,

Did not the tourists sign the flier?

(It’s all in the waiver…)

Oompa Loompa doopity day

Both parties are both equal in blame.

Only partial judgement for you,

Like we Oompa Loompa doopity do!

Robert has been a loner for a long time, so going from zero friends to an entire group is overwhelming.

Z-team tried to make plans and hang out as a group but Robert gets overstimulated really fast.

This can lead to Robert getting a little...toothy, or can send down a small depression spiral.

Either one isn't good and it gets to the point that Robert starts to withdraw. He hates feeling like he ruined what should be a fun time and starts to think that he's just not made to have friends.

Obviously, the Z-team strongly disagrees but they don't know how to help.

Until Flambae brings it up with his therapist  who gives him a few ideas to try, (as well as a list of therapists that Chad gives Robert in private)

Instead of making plans together as a group in large public settings, they start with one on one plans in calmer settings and work their way up.

Coupe goes over to Robert's apartment with a few books and they spend the afternoon reading quietly.

Chad invites Robert and Beef to walk around a small park that he enjoys taking pictures at.

Sonar invites Robert over for nachos and gaming.

Prism has Robert hang out while she does chores around her house. She enjoys the company while she cleans and is less likely to put them off if she has someone over. (Chad used to come over but they got distracted easily)

Malevola takes Robert surfing, she's got a list of beaches that are pretty chill. Robert can't stay on his surfboard at all, but he's determined to get there one day.

The team and Robert love this one on one time and slowly they start adding people to hang out.

For example, Prism actually loves video games of all kinds. Sonar is terrible at Just Dance but makes up for it with enthusiasm. They introduce Minecraft to Robert and are blown away by his builds.

Eventually with this method and Robert's therapist, they get to a point where the whole team can hang out and they celebrate by going to Legoland.
