Does Flaying Combine People With Their Alternate Timeline Selves?

So, today I was thinking about how Will’s S1 missing poster said that he had brown eyes:

Versus S2 Will not having brown eyes-

-until he gets flayed/the flaying progresses:

And then I was also thinking about how flayed TFS Henry has all of these Edward references surrounding him, but still doesnt seem to entirely be Edward, and how he also speaks about “us,” and says “he’s right here,” when Alice asks where Henry is:

Point is, he speaks as if he’s two people in the same body.

Which makes me wonder: does being flayed result in a person being merged with their timeline counterpart?

Ive theorized before about the idea that the hivemind transcends timeline/dimensions (ie a person flayed in 1959 might be simultaneously mentally connected to a person that got flayed in 1983, two flayed people in separate timelines might be simultaneously mentally connected etc etc), but now I wonder if that goes beyond just a connection, and instead, ends up merging a person with their alternate timeline self, maybe if both selves are flayed.

Like what I mean is that because two flayed versions of a person from alternate timelines (ie Henry and Edward) are connected to the hivemind, theyre therefore connected to eachother, right? But what happens if you connect the “same” person to themselves? Like if we think of the hivemind as being sort of like a computer, then what typically happens when two identical files are put in the same folder? One of then gets overwritten.

So, I wonder if that’s what’s happening here- if one version of a person is overwriting the other (but not as smoothly/quickly as it happens with computer files), and if that’s why Will’s eye colour changed as his flaying progressed- he may have been “overwritten” by the alternate timeline brown-eyed Will, just as TFS Henry may have been “overwritten” by Edward or vice versa.

This would also explain why Flayed Billy’s eye colour doesn’t change to brown- because the alt timeline Billy still has blue eyes.

This could also explain the emphasis on “weakness” in TFS and why Henry gets so upset when Brenner calls him weak- because the “weaker” version of a person might be the one that gets overwritten.

Anyway! Lots to think about.

my favorite scene in LotR as a kid was when Sam started miserably freestyling in the tower of Cirith Ungol and the only reason he ever found Frodo was because he deliriously tried to join in

when i say i like hiking, i don’t mean “eight mile backpacking trip with special gear and an emergency beacon” sort of hiking, i mean a three mile loop to go look at pretty things and then a huge brunch after.

Of course the Twilight Zone did an episode about ending up in a parallel universe without knowing it

AND the wife of the main character immediately knew that it wasn't her husband

Edward Creel theories are…

a) an example of cornplating off a cliff

b) an excuse for henry stans to absolve henry of his crimes against humanity

c) big if true, but I’m not fully sold

d) possibly true, but I don’t really care. If it’s true, we’ll see in S5. but I’m here for byler rn

e) true/brilliant/captivating/earth-shattering/fascinating/life-altering!

f) completely true, but I’m still here for byler and don’t care that much

g) what in the name of ted wheeler is an edward creel?

A Boy Like Me- Over A Shot Of Karen Wheeler? Ft “Henry” Creel is Not A Chick & Swapping Places: What’s With Lipstick and Gender Swaps In ST?

So, these shots of Karen are very interesting to me:

Because why is the lyric “a boy like me” playing over Karen Wheeler while she puts on lipstick?

Especially with the TFS scene where Walter says that Henry Creel “isnt a chick/hes not a chick,” versus Henry complimenting Patty’s lipstick (which is the same colour as Virginia’s lipstick and as Karen’s lipstick here) right after that “not a chick” scene. (and then there’s also the whole “henry vs henrietta” swap in fringe where a character named henry becomes henrietta due to a timeline change)

So, right now, we have two instances of lipstick being connected to weird gender swap references- we have Henry’s line about how he “likes Patty’s lipstick,” right after Walter says that Henry “isnt a chick,” and then we have Karen putting on lipstick while the lyric “a boy like me,” plays.

And then further connecting the lipstick to weird gender swap stuff, we have Patty’s lipstick scene versus the whole “Patty” vs “Patrick,” thing- so that’s three instances of lipstick being connected to gender swap stuff.

And just regarding gender swaps in general, not only do we have Owens mistaking Max for a boy, but Max also has a whole scene associated with a song about a man and a wonder swapping places (Running Up That Hill), versus Karen’s gender swap scene also involving a song/the “a boy like me” lyric.

What’s going on??? What kind of weird timeline gender swap Matrix-esque trans allegory stuff is going on here??

Patty’s Slow Motion Fall: Did Henry Slow Time?

So, in TFS, Patty falls in slow motion when she falls off the catwalk- which is interesting, because this is a live play- so, obviously, she’s “actually” moving slowly/you cant just slow it down the way you can with filmed footage.

Which made me wonder- was Patty falling in slow motion in canon? Like I dont just mean “oh, they slowed down Ella’s fall for safety,” I mean “Henry was also in slow-mo, and so were the falling set pieces etc, it’s meant to be Slow Motion”.

But why and how would Patty be falling in slow motion in canon?

Well, like I’ve posted about before, in TFS, Henry briefly stops time when he’s doing the church vision with Patty- we know this because the background dialogue in the church from before the vision starts repeats after the vision ends, implying that Henry froze/rewound time a little bit.

So, I’m wondering if Henry intentionally slowed time to try and save Patty so that her fall wouldn’t be fatal- and he reaches out his hand to try and grab her, but cant reach her, so, slowing down time might have been the next best option, especially with how his reach towards patty parallels the way he reaches his hand out when he uses his powers.

Anyway! Just thought that was interesting.

yall who've been over the footage even more than me - have you ever noticed any of the other lab kids talking to each other in the Rainbow Room? do you think talking is discouraged in there? like is "intellectual" / silent / individual play encouraged or is it some consequence of the fuckery that nobody except El One and Brenner hardly ever speaks in there apart from the bullying scene

Ten saying 'okay' to Brenner and then answering his next question via eight ball. son what is that. use your words. why don't you kids talk
