Just a thought.
Putting aside that it would have been nice if Sage had mentioned that her parents were Jade and Stephen (although for all she knows, the mc has never met them and hence it doesn't seem relevant to her)...
If you went to see the parents of a friend to help out another friend, and then you suddenly realised the mom of your friend was the teacher who was rubbing your dick with her foot in class the other day, wouldn't you feel a little concerned?
I think, "Fuck!
" might sum it up rather well.
Just saying, that's probably the angle DPC will go with to justify the mc's panicked state if he hasn't been fucking Sage or Jade or both.
While I am waiting on the loading and training of a model, I was ruminating. (Never let a data scientist idle out cycles longer than 10 minutes, exhibit A)
We are predicating a lot of the theories ( except dalli_x, bless their heart with boundless imagination) on available information and dropped hints / clues.
Thinking back to the entirety of the game, as well as doing a full Sage run over the weekend, I've closely monitored any hint or clue regarding to the Sage Burke theory before it actually happened. And here's the reality of it, it was actually one of the weakest possibilities ( I still contend that it was a stupid, twist for a twist's sake story development) amongst many. Worse still, DPC actively misdirected us with potential Sage fathers in the party.
This indicates one thing. DPC, knowing that his long dev cycle causes extensive theorycrafting both on patreon AND here, has taken to the approach of actively misdirecting us on many fronts. So, we have to start thinking what "facts" we take as facts are really as such, or a clever misdirect. ( In my opinion, such practices weakens an overall story, but that's neither here nor there)
I encourage everyone to start examining their ideas and theories for such potential misdirects. I have a few that is starting to make me very suspicious and paranoid regarding the story:
1) "The locked room." I am honestly beginning to think that it is the biggest misdirect in the story. It might just be an extra room Bella uses as storage for the stuff his husband left behind. We think it's this big important thing due to that one scene in ep4 ending, but really.... What else? Sus, very sus.
2) The royce mansion. We think, that right now, the mansion Jill grew up in is the same one from Lynette's picture, and there's no denying that. However. What do we really think about that? It's all for certain that Jill's mom isn't a friend of Lynette's, the ages dont match up for anything involving Jill's big sister, sooo... An aunt of hers? We placed a certain importance on this detail, yet I'm beginning to think, ESPECIALLY in light of that you can only see this in one of six major paths, this is another misdirect.
3) The infamous "that" Chad and Dawe were talking about. It has been theorized that alphas are involved in something very illegal and that's what they were trying to keep from prying eyes when Chad accepted his punishment. (Having an easier time with Troy being a big bonus) I keep thinking that is another big misdirect now, and it's just probably them using doping and/or steroids.
4) Nora. She's just a huge misdirect in itself. I'm almost convinced that she'll come up unaffiliated with everything else.
5) The pregnancy test. This is either Ashley or.... Yea, any other option will just be stupid and another twist for twist's sake. Misdirection %110.
What are the things you guys think might be misdirects?
The only reason for DPC to misdirect (like with the mc automatically assuming Josy's relationship is with a guy, or Chad's affair was with Mel, or with Sage's dad was man bun) is to elicit the biggest surprise possible when something of high impact happens in the story. So on those 5 points you raised:
1) If the locked room turns out to not provide any insight into Bella, or her past, I think that will be a big let down. The mc focuses on it a number of times, talks to Jill about it, and we even see Jill trying the door to no avail.
It may not be what we think it is, but if it turns out to be nothing, then all that shit would have been pointless.
I think Bella's locked room will be high impact, but we just don't know what. I'm thinking it will be associated with her psychological state and the library scene with the mc breaking the 4th wall.
2) DPC 100% showed us the mansion in two consecutive renders. That's not a hidden clue (like the tone of a conversation between Sage and Tybalt on Rooster), it was a sledge hammer moment. In an old fashioned movie they've have accompanied those shots with the tried but true, "Dun Dun Duuuun!"
Maybe this li'l corgi can illustrate better:
Anyway, if that turns out to be misdirection (unlike the idea that Chad was having an affair with Mel), then that's just a bullshit cheap trick. Once again, we don't know what it means, so there's no real misdirection, since there is no direction, just two groups of people associated with the same manor.
I think it will turn out to be some kind of big deal, and I imagine it will be a positive thing.
3) I figured it was just simply that the Jocks were cheating (using steroids) in their competitions. "That" would have the frat shut down I expect. I don't think this is associated with a big drama though.
4) Nora will probably start teaching the mc's class that Bella's been substitution for. But I doubt Nora is related to anyone. i don't think there's going to be a big reveal regarding her other than suddenly, "Surprise, I'm your new teacher, let's fuck after class!"
5) Could be anyone, but Ashley, Sally or anyone else in between, but it could also be a flash forward to when the mc's reading the diary and it flashes back to Lynette discovering she's preggers. But I do think this is gonna be a big drama.
don't hate me because I'm beautiful, bitch. Maybe if you got rid of that old yee-yee ass haircut you got you'd get something other than basic bitches on your dick. Oh, better yet, maybe Bianca will call your dog-ass if she ever stop fucking with that brain surgeon or lawyer she fucking with. Dumbass
Now I gotta go find a clip of Lamar kicking Franklin's ass.
