And not even only that, it also changed the trajectory of the goop!4 theory. No yeah bc before, I was like "there may 2 different parasites in IGBP, but eh maybe I'm stretching things here", my silly two-sides-same-coin talk. Yall already know the usual. And then THIS popped up? Like HUH???? Admittedly, this alone isn't going to make it plausible but it's a bit of proof. "For what exactly?" Well, not necessarily my initial speculation but more as something to consider in general, y'know?

Anyway, the point is:

I'm never going to get over this, ever.

Hell, I couldn't even describe to you what my initial reaction was (I did scream cry throw up tho /hj). Like seriously. who in the Team put this in the script? Was it even in there? I know for a fact it was Anaidon who animated that scene, but what's up with this, Team??? Feel like I need to shake them by the shoulders.

I NEED ANSWERS, TEAM/silly

Either way, whoever had the idea in the first place, it was absolutely brilliant and I do hope it comes back somehow. I would go insane if this was a part of Puzzles' backstory. More than usual, yes

also WOTFI '24 also gave us this, which is still crazy

ben's classmates/bullies know who he is and know his car on sight. when one of them gets a power gauntlet he says kevin is no longer the coolest kid in town, implying they or others around them think kevin is the coolest kid in town. kevin hasn't gone to school in 5 years. the only way they could know who he is is from him hanging out around town with ben and gwen unless something even more baffling and strange is going on. but somehow the 15-year-old bullies know enough about him to think he's Really Cool

at one point kevin says 'looks like my place after that big party I threw last weekend' and nobody remarks upon it, so I have to assume it wasn't a joke. this guy is throwing big wild parties? this guy has friends? is he just inviting all the 15-year-olds of bellwood that he only knows through ben and gwen and that's why they think he's so cool?
