having Thoughts abt the gin is miley's son theory i wanna talk abt,,
my apologies in advance if anything we say has been said numerous times already. this game is super complex w a Lot of content we are still working our way through, both from the actual game and within the fandom, so! bare with us please lol
anyway, so.
one of the most compelling things for me wrt the theory is that gin is targeted in pretty much every chapter by a trap. lots of things seem to be set up specifically so he, as a young child with a very pure heart, would be targeted. like the twist about the tokens in chapter 2, for example. which could be a thing because they're aware of miley's intentions and want to get rid of him to stop her.
i feel like,,, if the theory is true, miley's intention was to join the games as a floormaster so she could have power in it to ensure gin's safety. even if he's not on her floor, she has still shown to be manipulating things to ensure he makes it out, like with gashu, making sure everyone knew of his transgressions so they had an out if it was needed.
i feel like her goal would be ensuring that he wins so they can take down the games from the inside, since it's pretty universally accepted that the reward for winning is to most likely become the new asunaro leader.
and, easily, her motive could be tons of resentment for driving her lover mad and making him an alcoholic, and also resentment for forcing her son to participate in something like this.
it would also make sense for her seeming to hate sara and trying to target her. i'm sure the floormasters know what everyone's role is meant to be, including that sara is meant to be the winner. she probably holds resentment towards her for that, but. sara is also very clearly probably the most precious person to gin in the games.
he fully sees her as a big sister figure, to a point where she's the person he runs to first when he needs to be consoled and held during a breakdown.
if it came down to just gin and one other person, the others would protect him sure, but sara is the only one that miley would be able to confidently believe would do whatever it took to protect him. she has had that exact notion tested numerous times, and never falters on that desire, even if it comes with a brutal cost.
i just think this theory adds so many interesting angles to so many dynamics within the games. if gin is miley's son, perhaps she knew he'd get attached to sara, so she agreed to help ensure sara's victory because she knew she'd protect him and ensure his victory as well.
after all, maple confirms it is possible for two winners to win since a majority vote cannot be held with just two people. if miley can assure that sara wins, and sara had to come down to picking anyone over gin, sara would undoubtedly pick gin. the only person she might've picked over him is joe, and he's gone, so.
idk! i truly do not know but this is the theory i've seen that i've thought about the most and that compels me the most and i really cannot wait to see whether or not it comes to fruition in the finale, and How it comes to fruition if it is true cause it's. so good.
edit cause i just realized smth else: this would also explain what gin was doing when he went back down to the first floor and why he was safe. he was visiting his mom, and was unable to let the others know. it also makes sense as to why he's able to endure so much trauma and hardship at such a young age. he knows he has not just sara, but his mother watching over him and looking out for him as well.

revisiting turnabout samurai makes me incredibly sad because will powers, an absolute sweetheart of a man, is treated like SHIT just for the way that he looks. almost every character straight up insults his appearance like he’s some hideous monster. HE’S NOT EVEN BAD LOOKING?? will says multiple times that he doesn’t want to show his face to the public until he’s done filming the steel samurai/pink princess because he doesn’t want to ruin kids’ dreams :(((( it’s not a funny joke, it just makes me want to burn the entirety of global studios to the fucking ground

also, for ooc purposes, how strict aldrés is regarding the crater depends mainly on my partner, our shared headcanons, and the context of the interaction
but generally, he's pretty neutral on trespassing as long as area zero remains unharmed. he's not pro-trespassing by any means and will deter it, but there's always going to be some that work to circumvent every set boundary. at the end of the day, it's your life you're playing with, and all the computers/research stations/lab areas/etc. will be inaccessible, so there's no chance of a security breach or stolen data. you'll see some scary pokemon and maybe lose a limb
also most of his interactions with newcomers in area zero seem to happen during scvi, when he was rather preoccupied with keeping the paradoxes contained. he gives the usual warnings and protocols, and they're all subject to the same observations, but as he's locked in the lab and trying very hard to not let his region be overrun, he's got bigger issues to focus on
however, people have died. people have been maimed. entering in uninvited is enough cause for him to report the individual to paldean authorities and get them, at lightest, potential jail time. it's always going to be a heavily restricted (and 24/7 watched) zone
