#rewatched vivis letter to hong kong and forgot heejin tries to kiss hyunjin bahahaha

[mobiused]

can you please explain your understanding of the basement to me? Some say that Jinsoul was trapped in there, then Vivi found her and let her go, they fell in love, then Yves got close with Vivi and Jinsoul was jealous, so she manipulated Olivia into going after Vivi to hurt Yves because she was a common enemy of theirs???

BUT some say that Jinsoul knew Olivia first, then OLIVIA locked her in the basement (because they were in an abusive relationship or something. like Jinsoul was mean) (and this is all obviously post-eden when Olivia was on earth. but before hi high. and before odd eye circle??) and then Vivi let her out, and oh god it's so confusing. How did she get in a basement. What is the significance of the basement. Is this before she knew Lip. Is this before she knew about her odd eye at all because it seems like in Every Day I Need You she was younger and weaker. But idk idk

okay so the facts are as follows:

- jinsoul has teleportation powers (which don't work whilst in the basement...?) - vivi finds jinsoul in hong kong - jinsoul goes to the aquarium, in korea, in her school uniform, whilst viseul are hanging out (on dates?) before the events of sweet crazy love, and vivi is already a robot at this point - jinsoul is freed from the basement (in hong kong) after EDINY hit 300k views - jinsoul is out of the basement by the time she talks to olivia on earth

more under cut

so... any theories that violate the logic of these facts, i choose to disregard. my personal interpretation is that.. okay lets take a step back.

to me, all the oec girls have this similar progression of events. kim lip has superspeed abilities, and somehow runs all the way to gimcheon (where eclipse is filmed), we see this as she picks up her backpack at the end of SCL and arrives at the... idk silo... like she travelled over 250km on foot? choerry has both dimension travelling abilities and time travel abilities, and somehow ends up in 90's busan with vives for christmas. jinsoul has teleporting powers and... ends up in a basement. this came across to me as though when they first discover their powers in SCL, they don't know how to control their powers and end up very far apart (like, on accident?), but also where they need to be. jinsoul winding up in the basement allows her to (formally) meet vivi, kim lip can do her eclipse ritual, and choerry meets vives and gets idk radicalised i guess.

oh and i also brought up the basement in this post

but then there's another aspect i remember reading in a hanbit post was about jinsoul being imprisoned, which was based on the fact the jumper she wears in EDINY is like, evocative of prisoner uniform and the SITR choreography has her surrounded by bars, which... y'know, serves as a visual metaphor for her being behind bars.

as for those theories you mentioned, i get that it's fun to imagine like, these wildly dramatic stories but... there's just no evidence for it, yk! like, olivia has never been shown to hurt anybody, not vivi, not jinsoul, not yves, nor has that been hinted at. the most violence that olivia does is burn the things that remind her of eden/yves. so i don't know why or even how she would put jinsoul in the basement - especially since egoist is just after she lands on earth and doesn't know wtf is going on, and jinsoul comes to speak to her in a supportive manner. idk what jinsouls saying (actually i wrote before about jinsoul telling olivia the things she needs to know, on behalf of yves, because olivia wouldn't have listened to anything yves said) but i think whatever jinsoul says, it's clearly not verbally abusive or anything...

i believe in (lore) vivesoul love triangle but i don't really like theories where they try and kill each other. i would rather leave things unanswered than fit them with answers that don't make sense.
