In Red String Theory, the scissors Elias used to cut these threads of fate are normally different in each culture. But in this one, it’s likely the tailor’s snips because in some cultures, Red String Theory was heavily influenced by the image of women doing embroidery or tailors in general. They were used in cord-cutting rituals to end the bond between two people, to unweave their fates from each other.
So now let me be fucking delulu because Elias is holding FIVE red threads. And you know what else is five? Our boys on that anomaly castle show. So yeah, basically Elias was cutting every connection these five had with MC, I suppose.
If you like thinking he’s a big fat manipulative liar, then it could foreshadow that he might betray us in the future or that he has something to hide (and I ain’t talking about the concept of the show iykyk).
If you like being even more delulu, then he’s just that possessive and jealous that he doesn’t want anybody else to win your heart.
Wait a second, I’m not done yet!!! Those gold arrows are likely just there for aesthetic purposes. But we never know if they’re Cupid’s love arrows from Eros eh??
That’s all for my Elias Talk today!
