I hope the parents are safe lowkey, I know their focus is the kids but still 😔 Haven't seen them in a hot minute and I'm praying season 3 doesn't like.. Kill any of them. Same with Lily. If Lily dies, I'm dying because that's just cruel.

So, her most famous accomplishments started in her later years... ((KEEP GOING!!!))

There's also the incident where she shot a man in the ass over a pay dispute (he failed to pay when she had a laundry business), knocking out a man with one punch, the legend of her staving off starving wolves with her shotgun and that she was the only woman allowed into the saloon as a regular... But my favorite is that she was a BIG baseball fangirl, yall. ...To the point where she would go to all the games dressed up like a fangirl with all the paraphernalia and give flowers to the men who got home-runs. Yall look....

In 1895, at the age of sixty, Mary Fields landed a U.S. Postal Service contract to become a Star Route Carrier; essentially a lowest-bidder contract offered to "celerity, certainty and security" freelancers --making her the second woman, and the first Black woman, in such a role. Known alternately by the nicknames "Stagecoach Mary" and "Black Mary," she drove her assigned stagecoach in all types of weather and over all types of terrain, becoming something of a Wild West legend in her own time.

I think to answer this question, first we need to establish that IQ measures how fast you are able to recognize patterns, solve novel problems, and interpret information. Low IQ does not mean low intelligence, as intelligence, at the moment, is impossible to measure perfectly, because intelligence is a very broad umbrella term and can come in many different ways, and there is no universally proven 'intelligence factor'. I will also preface this by saying that I literally have no idea about all these brains things and IQ tests and stuff, I'm just talking big words to seem smart. That out of the way, my thoughts on the matter, from highest IQ to lowest IQ, because I see no better way to go about this: 1. James and Mary Fields

They were a part of the mafia before... not to mention, they made it out of there alive, which is, based on my knowledge of mafia (which is basically, like, a couple of movies at best) fairly tough to do without any strings attached. They also seem to have been pretty good at what they do, seeing as some of the people that are still in the mafia were owing them favours.

2. Mike and Emma Banner

Both having been to the military, I think they have to be quite good at thinking quick. They score lower than Logan's grandparents, though, because military is more about following orders than anything.

3. Daniel and Jessica Clark

Aiden is good at puzzles, which is what the IQ tests are - puzzles. And intelligence is largely inherited. Of course, life experiences play a role that is just as important, but they're also rich, and the riches have to have come from somewhere, right? The ability to understand business and markets and all of that does require its share of problem-solving and pattern recognition, so I feel like they'd score fairly high.

4. William and Naomi Clark

Sorry, Ben, but there is just nothing about them that could make me place them higher... They seem like an ordinary american couple with two kids, so it's really hard to gage how good they'd be at pattern recognition and stuff-

5. Mariana Hernández

can we talk about how chaotic these two panels are??? there's naomi being a mama bear to lily, william displaying where ben gets his protective nature from, james and mary looking like they deal with this shit daily, daniel screaming when even lily isn't, and mariana just staring dead into the phantom's soul like fuck this im bored

This chapter is literally almost word for word how I Imagined the kidnapping of the parents all happened and I’m so proud of that fact lol

Mike swearing to kill those people when he was being knocked out and Emma taking the brunt of the attack to protect the other— Ashlyn really is her parents’ daughter XD

The Mike/Emma content was peak

AND LILY, BABYGIRL, BITING THOSE PPL TO PROTECT HER COUSIN, SOMEONE GIVE THIS BRAVE GIRL A MEDAL 😭

AND I KNEW THE GRANDPARENTS WERE SUS. WHAT SO FAMILIAR ABOUT THIS JAMES, HUH?

I also love the fact that Mike just doesn’t vibe with the grandparents lol. He just knows something is up and he hates it XD

And who’s this guy? Are we finally getting insight on the two parties that the cranes are hiding from that was mentioned S1? Because the mark on his hand doesn’t look like the usual paper crane, it looks like a different type of bird.

:O maybe it’s a sparrow like in that one panel from season one where Maverick was standing by a window and there was a sparrow perched on the window.

WAIT DO Y’ALL REMEMBER THAT THEORY ABT HOW MAVERICK MIGHT BE TRYING TO HEAL SOMEONE OR BRONG THEM BACK TO LIFE WHAT IF THIS GUY IS THAT PERSON OMG???
