pizza faced teen ben spinning some pizza dough

more rambling bee low <3

im thinking,,, maybe ben worked an entry level food service job in his teen years,,

took multiple 'gap years' rummaging up whatever money he could for school.

the red and white shirt was part of the uniform for this greasy pizza joint,, he would end up keeping it into college.

Also,,, been thinking that he's pursuing an entomology degree w a minor in music?

he says its because his 'dad is in pest control' but he actually just.. rlly likes bugs <3

Don't you want to see...

What's behind door number 3?

yeah i could really go into the metaphor here but basically Cookie feels cursed by his past experiences (in particular, his romantic relationships) in a way that causes him to avoid new opportunities with the preemptive assumption that everything will just go wrong again and that he, and everyone around him, will just get hurt. In this way, the 3rd door represents his relationship with Ben and the hesitation and guilt Cookie feels. Even though Cookie really, really, wants to pursue a relationship with Ben, his fear keeps him from opening that door.

Also, its barely noticeable, but he's wearing the suit he wears in the final act, as that is when he finally confesses to Ben (it ends up going horribly and, if he survived it, it would have just been another confirmation of his insecurity; another regrettable door in the wall).

After Evelyn turns everyone in, Bea gets taken back to her family. Her hair was too matted, muddy, and damaged to be saved, so they cut it down to the roots. She wasn't a fan.

This would be just before she enters public school and meets Lainey and McKaylee.

More Powered Spirit loree,,, deaths and stuffss (Phrozyr/Neo, Three/Douglas, Romeo/Theo, Jackie, Zero, Boss demon mentioned and the Inventor implied)

The exact means of creation for the powered spirits has been something I've gone back and forth on,, but i think i have something pretty solid now,,,

I'm thinking each of the powered spirits were created by extremely violent and/or sudden deaths and then existed independently as cryptid-like creatures before being discovered and taken in by Boss demon.

Phrozyr (Neo) fell off an icy mountain. In life, she was a hiking guide for groups of people on the same mountain. As Phrozyr, she served the same function she did in life, keeping people on the right path and away from danger by scaring them away from the wrong path. Occasionally, she would make examples of brash hikers who broke the rules and went off-path (killing them), something she saw as necessary to protect others (as the deaths of these rule-breaking hikers would spread as cautionary tales that deterred people from hiking into dangerous terrain).

Three (Douglas) was a school janitor that either slipped and fell or got pushed down a flight of stairs. As a spirit, they mostly stayed undetectable and could only be seen wandering the halls after hours. Because of their fluid nature, i can imagine them slinking through pipes, faucets, and drains, possibly startling the people who caught a glimpse of them.

Romeo (Theo) died of heart failure in a hospital after an incident on stage put him in stress-induced cardiac arrest ((subject to change)). Romeo, using his reality-bending powers, entertained sick patients with performances as they approached death to give them a gentle ease into the afterlife (but because of the gentle and fun aspect of his shows, many of the patients' egos didn't actually persist into the spirit veil, as a spirit is only created in sudden or high-stress deaths).

I can imagine him being a good bed-side companion to patients that had otherwise been given up on by everyone else, like the very elderly or comatose.

Like,, imagine all the stories of dementia patients seeing monsters at the end of their hospital bed except this time its a funny little robot that does a dance.

And Jackie, of course, became "The Siren of the Bluff" after drowning in a lake. She was the most active and vengeful of the four, dragging victims into the depths of the water, and was responsible for many disappearances when she was most active. As is typical of sirens, she would lure men out into the lake with her song.

Also also, each of the powered spirits were lured away from their individual locations by the cabin (controlled by the crown and utilized by Boss demon). Jackie was the first one to reach the cabin, therefore the first one to reach the crown and become Zero.

Concept for an adult Alice?? maybe?? the robe shes wearing is the same color as Demon Aydans robe wink wink. Her eyes are greyed to show how shes loosing her vision.
