no but i want to talk about this because from the start when people were saying they were copies of their mother i was like "uh, not really". from just these pics we can see jinx has her mothers nose, hairline (widows peak kinda), and freckles. however, these aren't rly good example pics because they're at weird angles. jinx actually has much fuller lips and larger eyes as compared to felicia and vi, which you can rly see with her younger self.

vi has a different nose i can assume came from connol, but young vi has her mothers lips (before a lifetime of blocking w her face and the scar on her lip), thin with a defined cupids bow. the scar she got from stillwater probably pulled the skin a bit as it was healing, resulting in her lips being a different shape than her younger self. young vi also has a very clear straight hairline, while jinx has a very defined widows peak.

everyone keeps saying "oh they're like mitosis" but like if you actually examine them they aren't exact replicas, which makes sense because they're felicia's daughters not her clones.

Did their father even try

Im quite literally so done with this shit. i keep on going back and forth between hiding all the i/p related tags, but then I realize that its seeped EVERYWHERE. It's in the motherhood tag, and jewish history tag, and everything else. I can't fucking escape it. I opened tiktok yesterday to see one of my favorite characters (iron man) weaponized to support the one group that wants to see me dead, the user saying that iron man would support palestine, and be an antizionist because he "spoke out against the public" and he wasn't like the sheep. It frustrates me to no end this horrible cycle of fucking misinformation that exists.

As a Gen Z, I simply do not understand how its reached this point? I can't even write all my feelings and information about how shitty this is in a single sitting because 1) it'd be too long and 2) my joints wont let me write that long. But how did it reach this point?

How did it reach the point where jewish/isreali stores are fucking marked to notify the public. Their windows are being broken and the stores are being robbed. How did it reach the point where jewish students on some campuses are told to stay home? how they're harassed out of specific areas, and campuses have been made unsafe? How did it reach the point that people literally have written "I ♡ Houthis & Hamas" and "no mercy for Jews."? How did it reach the point that there are nazi symbols, and hanging deadmans, and communist symbols being drawn on college campuses? How is it possible that students are calling for the end of jewish student unions and hillel international on campus? that'd be like calling for the end of the fucking muslim student organization, or disbanding an african-american affinity group. Which would never be acceptable, but apparently its fine when its jews.

I'm sick and tired of all the horrible conditions of palestenian cities being blamed on israel. Palestine is its own country. They had their own government until they elected Hamas to lead them. Hamas, who diverted all their funds to the military. Hamas, who uses hospitals and public spaces as their bases. Hamas, who built miitary tunnels under cities so that when they're invaded, the cities will collapse on itself. Hamas, who steals all humanitarian aid from its citizens. Hamas, who controls palestenian media and teaches hatred to its children. Hamas, who wants their citizens to become martyrs for their country, to die for their goal. Hamas, whose number one goal is to eradicate all jews. Hamas, who denies the existence of the holocaust. Hamas, who enlists children as soldiers and suicide bombers. Hamas, who has has never expressed an interest in a 2 state solution.

Is this the organization you consider freedom fighters? because i dont think they should ever, in any context, be called that. Hamas is nothing but terrorists.

Yes, the deaths and treatment of palestenian citizens is horrible. but no, this is not a genocide. Israel is trying to rid them of Hamas, because quite literally, no country should ever be forced to live in "harmony" with a terrorist group. Especially one who denies their existence and actively wants to kill them all. Israel has been letting palestenians get jobs in the country, has let palestine use their resources and water, all for years. They've let hamas continously bomb them, they've gotten used to a life of bomb shelters in every residence. Hamas has done nothing but crippled their country's own economy and society.

None of the surrounding coutnries want to let in palestenians, or live with palestenians. Egypt wants to annex Gaza, and Jordan wants the West Bank. In fact, they did own that land for a part of history! Yet Israel has let palestenians govern themselves for years, even when Hamas originally came into power, they didn't interfere. Not until they were provoked.

Yes, Israel has flaws. But welcome to the fucking real world, princess. Every country has flaws. Even America, you dipshits. This is not a little fandom for you to play sides on. its not some fictional world that has a black and white solution. Yes theres going to be deaths, just like in any other WAR. But you really can't call for the destruction of a country on the basis that they're trying to make sure they're allowed to stay a country? Because guess what honey bunchkins? "from the river to the sea" really doesn't mean what you think it does. It just means that you want to kill all jews, or at best, forcefully remove them and scatter them around the middle east. (to countries that have killed them in swaths in the past. To countries that have emprisoned jews for helping others escape. To countries that avidly hate jews and want them dead). I don't understand how that would mean peace in any way shape or form?

Not only that, but half of "protestors" and "activists" for palestine, haven't even done basic research. They dont know what river or sea theyre talking about. They dont know that "palestine" was not a palestenian state in 1948, but it was instead a BRITISH MANDATE, that was NOT fully occupied by palestenians. In fact, "palestenians" weren't a thing. Palestenians are just muslims and arabs from countries like syria, who lived alongside jews and christians in the same land (which was largely uninhabited for the most part). Yeah, you heard me right.

Honestly my thoughts on this issue are so scattered its so hard to make a solid points when I can just keep on going forever.

Fact is, Israel deserves to be a country. No one should be supporting Hamas. Everyone should be supporting the eradication of Hamas (and I mean Hamas not palestenian citizens). I don't get how these are debated, and seriously don't understand how citizens of america are so quick to support a terrorist group, to resort to antisemitism.

Im so done with this all. I cant believe we have to tell you gentiles that stoning a 13-year old kid for being jewish is horrible. That throwing a brick through an israeli-owned cafe in New York is horrible. That students not being able to be on campuses because of their religion or ethnicity is horrible.

This has to end.

Do your research, or don't speak (and terrorist-controlled propoganda channels don't count).

this was too long to reply so im rbing lol

I havent read the maze cutter yet so i cant comment abt some of your theories but a small correction, the sun flares happened about 14 years before the events in tmr and the flare virus came around abt 13 years before tmr. if keisha's daughter (jackie) is 10 then she was born abt 4 years after the sun flares, so i would estimate keisha being very late teens/early 20s when the sun flares happened, so maybe theres a chance when the flares first happened and all the satellites/etc were destroyed she kept her phone and turned it off as a precaution.

when the sun flares first happened she had to have quickly realized that her phone was useless (as all the satellites and phone towers and stuff were gone) but may have held on to it as a keepsake, then randomly turned it on one day and found it working/slightly charged. or, if she only recently became "infected" as she claims early in the book then she wouldve probs been living in the quarantined denver, where they had electricity (and if i remember correctly, i think some ppl had phones? im not 100% sure tho)

as for how her brother contacted her i have no idea, that seems like a small hole that jd hoped we'd ignore

i love the theory of keisha working for/with wicked tho, i hadnt even considered that possibility but it makes sm sense

theres also the question of, if newt was being tracked by wicked through the swipe in his head, how did they know he was going to that neighborhood, and that specific house, fast enough for keisha's brother to send her warning when wicked got to the house? they couldve taken the info from newts brain or somehow hacked the cellphone, but then they also couldve gotten the info from keisha OR been the ones to give it to her thru the phone (further supporting her working w them)

ive been trying to find anaylses of this book online for so long and i just finished rereading it (and the whole series, minus the maze cutter) like 30 min ago so im excited

It is now time for the fateful day I talk about Maze runner, so up ahead there WILL be spoilers for almost all the TMR books.

[THE FEVER CODE, THE CRANK PALACE, THE MAZE CUTTER SPOILERS ARE UP AHEAD]

Let's talk Keisha and Dante. I made a simplified version of this on Reddit, but I can't go any longer without fully writing my thoughts out.

Keisha and Dante both were supposed to be side characters, people that gave newt a final purpose in life. He said it himself that they had given him something to live for, to finish his days off by doing something good. They ended up being a lot more than just side characters and I think we all know it.

Let's start off with chronological order, so that I can try to make this post somewhat understandable lol.

- Newt escapes the berg outside Denver, and roams a "abandoned" neighborhood. This is where he meets Keisha and Dante. She informs him that they need to run immediately or they are gonna be taken somewhere unpleasant and all around gross and icky. Newt first struggles figuring out what is happening and why he should care but eventually gets the hang of it. Newt seems pretty out of it for someone who just made a major decsion in his life. He's just calmly sitting by a lamp post watching cranks roam the streets untill the munies come by looking for cranks. The three don't really get far before some immunes find them there, saying they need to check them for the flare virus. Keisha says they have the virus so don't even bother checking them. THIS IS IMPORTANT. Keisha doesn't want to be checked for the virus, infact immediately admits she has the virus in front of the person. All this to avoid being checked? Why? Becausse Keisha is more than likely immune to the virus and Dante probably is too. (Newt also mentions he had a feeling that Keisha was immune too near the end of the book) The guy tells them they need to take them away, to the pits obviously but he never directly says that. Keisha tries to get them to let them be and just walk away, far from Denver, but the immune resists. This is where Keisha shoots one of them and newt kills the other.

All of this reaction from Keisha about being checked and why? She's supposed to be infected, to have the virus eating away at her sanity like it is newt, and with a child the extra stress should be taking the absolute biggest tole ever. With dante, she should be taking every opportunity to try and escape the inevitable fate of the pits, but she isn't. She definitely isn't and infact is freely and immediately admitting she has the flare.

- Keisha doesn't ask many questions, infact she forbids newt from asking how her entire family died. She spends an entire half page telling newt to never ask her that question, and when he finally agrees we don't hear about that untill later in the book. This isn't anything major, this a truamtic event for the both of them and bringing up their past does no good. Keisha though never seemed not even once phased by the fact that Newts entire existence had just saved her and her son from death. She never questioned much who the 'she' was that the munie guards brought up. Maybe this was just part of her personality but Keisha knew everything without asking anything. She never was curious about newts past, but seemed to know enough about it to get her by. She didn't seem to care about the maze trials, or ever bring them up voluntarily. Newts past was supposed to be hidden from her but it felt more like she had just known the entire time, with also the forbidden past of her own that she eventually talked about. This section isn't as important as the first one but it's still worth while to note.

- newt came back from a odly truamtic stroll through the crank Palace only to find that Keisha was no where to be found. Only Dante remained and apperantly a note that he skipped over in his panic. He ran out of the house with Dante and found Keisha and demanded an explanation for why she not only left her child alone but stole newts belongings. She claims that she knew Dante would be safe with newt and that she had left his journal and knife but took everything else. She planned to sell everything, to bargain her way out of the crank Palace to find her daughter, jackie. Newt has no idea how she even knows this untill she holds out cellphone. Fully functional, still has a charge and she checks it whenever newts NOT around and felt the need to keep it hidden from newt. Newt has no idea how she has this phone, because in all the maze runner books, we have never EVER seen a single person with a cellphone. She claims it still has charge and that her brother (who was claimed to be dead, murdered by Keisha husband, along with her daughter) had texted her and said they had survived and given her their location.

This is incredibly important to Keisha's character, becauase HOW did she get that. Keisha is only late 20's - early 30's, which means she hasn't been alive long enough to know the world pre sun flares and the flare. The world's been damned for a long time, so how on earth had she managed to find this phone, keep it charged long enough and if she had randomly found it after her family died, how had her brother contacted her?

I'll get to the point since this post is already so incrediblely long.

I think Keisha was working for WICKED, Ava Paige keeps tabs on newt obviously. (Janson telling thomas about newt being in danger at Denver, her need to keep newt alive in the fever code despite the waste of resources and time it was when they had hundreds of immunes, and then munie guards and people talking about newt, almost spreading whispers and sharing facts about newt to the point he had a gang ready to murder for him, and then the wicked gaurds showing up to Keisha's meeting place and using the family to force newt to "record something" we never find out what this something is though) Keisha obviously was carefully guideing newt through the stages of this, showing him the way of the world, to keep him alive more than anything. I feel like in exchange for helping newt, Keisha was promised her family by Ava Paige. Keisha also learned something from this though, that newt was her savior, he had given her a chance at survival. Which would explain why she was so grateful for newt even though he really didn't do anything. (he also points this out himself) her secret wicked agreement staying hidden but her gratitude towards newt giving her this chance totally explained. I definitely think that if Keisha was tasked with keeping newt safe enough, and when she realized justbhiw much he was suffering, how much the flare was affecting him and how he was holding it all back for her and her children she realized that the motherly bond she had formed with him strung more than just a few tears. I think becausse of this, she let newt go on his own, to find something or someone to end everything that made him so miserable. She couldn't end his life on her own, and newt wouldn't have ever of asked that of her but against wickeds wishes she might have just let newt leave. Her reward for helping him was here and now the least she could for him was let him leave, and take a couple of pounds of weight of his already heavied shoulders.

Newts death wasn't supposed to happen, he wasn't suoposed to die ( we know this from ava but also becausse newt is found to be the cure in the maze cutter) but Keisha had given him that chance to be free. Despite the pain that hit him from the swipe being removed and all, she had changed his Outlook on life, gave him the motherly love he missed and needed. His life was inherently better with Keisha and she did all she could for him. The mission wicked supposedly sent her on became less about her biological children and more about the one that she adopted along the way.

So could Keisha have been working for WICKED? Did WCKD give her the task, and the phone? Did she falter from her mission becauase she suddenly saw newt as her own child? And will we ever see her children in the other installations of the maze cutter
