Loona lore theory on the connection between Kim Lip, Gowon, Heejin, the Mobius strip, and time travel;; a thread
based on this tweet !! https://twitter.com/BrouteyLV/status/1298297177954025473?s=20
notice: i am not a theorizer !! i just loosely know the basics of loona lore and had a brief thought. Nor do i possess that level of intellect so expect some really dumb sounding sentences. (i also dont know if anybody thought of this)
so since this is all going off of op's post I'm just gonna say kim lip hypothetically has time travel and she is hypothetically using it to stop time https://twitter.com/BrouteyLV/status/1298297177954025473?s=20
if kim lip shielding her eyes hypothetically signifies stopping time what if this could also mean in Hi High, Butterfly, and So What are all the same timeline just in different places on the Mobius strip. The same timeline of events happening differently/with different outcomes.
in fact, I'm quite confused on how or if this isn't already lore since the Mobius strip can also be interpreted as a single point in time rather than a point in space. Hence, walking along the strip would eventually take you back to where you started, like a loop. A time loop.
we already know different points on the strip signify the different worlds (i.e yyxy, oec, 1/3). Which takes us back to the multiple worlds theory. It isn't far-fetched to assume Hi High, Butterfly, and So What are just the same chain of events that happen in one of the 3 worlds.
assuming this is true, the Mobius strip would have been created by Kim Lip, and all three post-debut eras are just continuations of what happens in Love4eva, Girl Front, and Love&Live +
...a similar chain of events having their own small or large differences that set them apart and eventually lead to their different outcomes.
the differences that cause the different outcomes can lead back to the butterfly effect and it's link to time travel. We're all aware that Gowon's representative animal is the butterfly and speculation of her connection with the butterfly effect isn't a new thing. +
so let's go back to hypotheticals. Hypothetically speaking, let's say Gowon's "XIIX" teaser was referencing her traveling in time. Her collapsing then a second Gowon appearing and "starting over again". +
having lived through the timeline from Love4eva to Hi High, Butterfly would mark the official reboot of the time loop as Gowon travels through time to the beginning. Thus, bringing us to the conclusion that things didn't go the way she planned. My guess, because of Olivia Hye.
my brain gets a little jumbled after this so bear with me 


This is just one specific Gowon though. If we're concluding there are multiple worlds whose to say there aren't multiple versions of Gowon as well. Which brings us to the case of So What, +
after the events of Butterfly, So What could either be the new outcome of what becomes of THIS Gowon's world, or an entirely separate world. Another Hi High, though, altered. Either way, something else went wrong in order for So What to end with the destruction of the whole moon.
I know what you're thinking, Olivia Hye's the bad guy just fix her BOOM problem solved. BUT NO!! If you even spared a glance at any time travel-related tv show/book you would know it's not that simple, otherwise, the show would last two episodes and the tv show two chapters+
Olivia Hye, like most of the members, is merely an interchangeable variable in a much larger equation. In the end, what's left and what determines the outcome is the constant. An occurrence that happens continuously; unchanging.
in both the "#" teaser and the Hi High mv, Heejin is seen flying toward something. To be honest, I don't know much about Heejin's role in the loonaverse but I do know she's closely linked to Olivia Hye. +
thus, leading me to believe Heejin is the constant leading to Olivia Hye's destruction. More specifically, Heejin flying. I haven't gotten to the whys yet but it makes sense when you think about it. Things could look different, but Heejin is the one thing that stays the same.
To wrap this up, let's go back to my idea about there being multiple Gowons. Let's say So What was just another Hi High, would the next comeback be another Butterfly? Would Gowon time travel again, and if so would it cause the creation of Klien bottle? Just some food for thought.
it's all really just a weird dumb thought i had. feel free to add on if you'd like, and sorry if it's a bit confusing. idk how y'all do this theory shit my brain was just cooked over-easy and sideways wtf. anyway, hope that sprung up some questions! have loona as a parting gift.
