in which I engage in conspiracy theories because I don’t want to pay attention at my church meeting
We’re probably talking about something important, but my brain has just been really stuck on Gregory’s dad. Let’s talk about him. Lord knows Gregory probably wants to.
Cut because you don’t need to deal with me rambling.
We’ve heard a lot about Gregory’s dad. Like - every other page, Gregory mentions him (my dude....we get it. You think you’re dad’s awesome. Everyone’s so aware of this that the spies are using this information about you to send you coded messages. And I thought my online behavior was A Lot).
Anyway. Gregory’s dad. The interesting thing about all the things Gregory says his father likes to say is that a good 75% of it is useless drivel, but the other 25%? The other 25% would be relevant if someone was in the business of doing things like stealing the plans to the Death Star.
Y’all, I am over here on the Gregory’s Dad Used To Be A Spy conspiracy theory ship. I am probably the only one on this ride, but that’s fine. It’s my conspiracy theory and there are worst things I can conspire about.
BUT - but you guys - Why else tell Gregory that Uncle Arthur is an admiral if he’s a general? Like - is this so that if Gregory mentions he met an admiral it doesn’t raise any flags. Does Gregory’s dad know Uncle Arthur? (I mean - it could also be “the author forgot the character’s rank” - that’s also a valid explanation. But mine is more fun).
Anyway - Gregory Roarke’s father was a spy. Make it a thing.
