get it? because its orions belt

[alnilamant]

I think I just realized that the apples might be an idicator of how much time has passed. It is literally in the title "An apple a day". Each eaten apple stands for one passed day.

With Garret waking up the very next mornig after leaving the Lavont's house.

[alnilamant]

Still couldn't get around to post my thoughts on the new part so I think I will do that tomorrow. Depending of the time when I come back it will be either before the last part drops or together with it

In the meantime here is what I remember from the top of my head

Garret did this stretch before after waking up

the tearing should be consitent with his old scars

even more, i think we saw puzzle pieces falling before

panic attack (?) in a public bathroom #beentheredonethat

the mirror shot, same reflection we saw at the tram

Garret still wears his shoes from the forest. Meaning Cat and Travis could have figured out that there was someone in their home if they had paid attention (to the shoes at the door)

orion in super casual comfy clothing

implications from the clock thingies that got delivered

And after that the last part, it might take a while to sort everything and find all connections. But that would be all for chapter 5 and we have all the time to come up with new theories. It's gonna be fun.

Ch5P13

Enter Lily, Rosie's friend.

Ch5P17

She likes math, I already like her, too. As easy as that.

Also there is another friend called Mona.

Ch5P20

Sorry about the quality in this one, Rosie can't focus that well right now.

[alnilamant]

Ch5P31

Mr Pjeoct Coordinator is Orion and based on this I would say Mona is the nickname of Morgana.

Best friend of Orion and by extension pretty close to Rosie and Lily as well.

Based on the quote on Ch5P20 Lily is still in contact with her.

[alnilamant]

Also I am this close to pull a classic tumblr and calculate Orion's dick size Tom Hiddleston style. Maybe the math for next weeks exam can help with that lol.

[alnilamant]

I think Garret is struggeling because he ate (the apple). Not eating for so long that his digestive system shut down <citation needed> is one thing but then eating again (pizza) and then starving again messes up the body. Plus the backlash from using his abilities maybe?

I thought that Orion might have a date(?) or something at the library but it's almost closing time and them meeting again would work in a romcom but not in a webcomic. So let's hope someone helps Garret through this.

[alnilamant]

Ch5P68

Two Faces of a Thron. I couldn't find anything about this book or the author M. L. Jackowska. So probably a made up book for this story, makes it easier to come up with an interpretation for Garret

Ch5P69

Ch5P70

Who is not having a good time.

[alnilamant]

Ch3P16 and Ch3P18

Ch5P63 and Ch5P64

[alnilamant]

Ch5P65

Who is texting Orion that makes him check his phone this quickly?

We know that he is always on his phone and available but this feels different.

Ch4P27

I mean, look at him.

Ch5P66

Tulips and everything. But I talked about this page before.

[alnilamant]

Ch5P59

I think we can read a lot into this. But not now, I am le tired.

[alnilamant]

Ch5P52

This gets it's own post. Because we (I) tend to forget that Orion knows what Garret's body looks like. First because he fixed him and second he changed (as in changed his clothes) him.

Ch1P18 and Ch2P09

Ch2P10

It being the code here but I'll interpret it as the body for this post specifically.

[alnilamant]

Let me preface the next section with the fact that I read the Flea tumblr post and the wikipedia summary so I don't say this lightly but this scene is so... Erotic yet intimate that it feels like I'm intruding something. #SensualShutterstockSaturday but like nastier. Let's dick dig into it. (Like Orion.)

Ch5P51

Ch5P53

Ch5P54

Eating him, multiple ways to read this. Also notice how it stains his hands.

Ch5P55

Just this whole page.

Someone reaching so deep inside you. Inside your brain. I can't do this.

Ch5P58

Clockfucker. Who knows what post I'm referencing?

Ch5P60

This is just so intimate.

Ch5P64

Orion debating if he should jerk it crazy style to and I quote "a hobo (he found in the woods)? And a violent one at that?"

Ch5P39

[alnilamant]

Ch5P48

Marcia showing off with her hand drawing skills.

And if the hand on the left feels familiar, it is God's hand in The Creation of Adam by Michelangelo.

The right hand is a slightly different angle but still the correct pose. Works better in this frame as well.

Ch5P50

Even more hands and I actually thought it would be Garret walking in another nightmare over these hands. But it is Orion. Not sure what hands symbolize for him yet.

[alnilamant]

Ch5P47

This puzzle piece looks very complex. Not quite sure how this would work in code but for context we have the very beginning of the story. (Well, the current very beginning, not the lost prologue.)

Ch1P02 and CH1P04

A burned arm is "just" three missing pieces and they all are common puzzle pieces.

Ch1P21

Garret's clock might be up to the challenge.

Also, Orion as an astronaut. Okay, I like it. Dreaming about the stars. And (at least for me) the stars are a symbol for Garret. Just read his storyline in chapter 5 again when he goes to the sea. Stars everywhere.

[alnilamant]

Ch5P46

He is talking about

Ch4P34

Ch4P35

which we all know was roughly ten days ago.

[alnilamant]

Ch5P44

Fascinating insights into the world here. Hair loss, nail or fungus problems and a rash are all valid reasons to go to a doctor. But they choose to visit a clockmaster. Sure, if he can rewind time or straight up rewrite the body ('s code) there is no need for a doctor.

Given that Orion just used bandages and band aids for his scratch I'm not too certain that there is actually health facilities. But there should be as there are people without clocks around.

He might say "No problem!" but he still wants to kill the customers. Customer voice and service mode my belothed.

Ch5P45

Called it.

[alnilamant]

Ch5P40

Rosie is talking about this

Ch3P40 and Ch3P44

But all Orion hears is

Ch3P48

Foreshadowing or just consisten writing?

Ch5P65

---

(Also just mentioned here, on the very next page in Ch5P41 the idea that Rosie is mixing up the popular manga tropes for creating humans with abilities, hilarious.)

[alnilamant]

I really like this page, Ch5P39. We have great eyes here:

Just great eyes and very evocative expressions here.

Also the idea that Rosie uses techniques to look for a lost pet to find Garret is sending me.
