Well, here’s purple-eyed Thouser.

The fact that they’re releasing merch w/ both versions at the same time is… So utterly bewildering.

Did they make two suits? Are there two Thousers? Are they the same person in two different suits? Or are they different people?

Horobi being one is out, bc he’s visible in his base suit on one of the shirts featuring this version of Thouser and the briefs featuring the other version—unless that’s Jin using Horobi’s Key, which… Feels unlikely. On the other hand, I went back and looked at my previous post, and… I’m pretty sure it’s this version of Thouser on the one shirt that Jin was on, so…

Yeah, I got nothing. No theories. No idea if any of the merch means anything at all. No ideas about anything. It’s chaos. I’m too burned out for this.

EDIT: People who can read say that this confirms Gai is purple-eyed Thouser, at least. We will wait to see how things progress from here.

There is some kind of crazy mass exodus at my job right now.  It's a decently large organization and there are some senior leaders and other employees who have been here 10+ years who are all leaving at the same time.  I'm seeing it happen all over the place (so many different departments, including my own - just got news of a resignation submitted this morning).  My inner drama goblin is fascinated by this and wants to know all the details.  The side of me looking ahead, both short term of my own job, and longer term for the organization, is terrified by this.  So many truly competent, efficient people are leaving.  They're running away.  All at the same time.  That's got to be a big, bad omen, right?  Definitely makes me think I need to look at other options as well.
