⁃adam’s watch is 5 & 1/2 hours behind hmmMm does that mean something
- skull & bones........the order?

⁃I absolutely love this new theme. it’s already stuck in my head. reminds me a bit of something you’d hear on a tv show during those scene (transitions?) where a song would play and the characters would randomly come on screen maybe do something random then leave (make sense?)

possible emoji debunking

⁃I wonder if sadie knew about atypicals before meeting caleb and frankie- how did she find out about atypicals? and all questions related
⁃experiencing frankie’s ability deepens my thought that what adam heard in the library before calling caleb was something with electricity

⁃FINDING OUT ABOUT YOUR POWER FROM ATYPICAL REDDIT IS SUCH A MODERN THING OMG
⁃I don’t know how long adam and caleb haven’t been talking but I love how immediately caleb’s there for him for whatever he needs with no second thought

⁃CALEB AND ADAM
⁃I kinda forgot that they hadn’t met oliver

Episode 9 @megfitz89
⁃I love how episodes 8 & 9 match up exactly
⁃I don’t think I’m EVER going to stop freaking out about the music in this series

⁃there’s no way I’m the only one who’s mind instantly went to harry potter, specifically the screaming book and tom riddle’s diary
⁃the voice caleb and adam heard had to be the woman from the book but why couldn’t they hear beck and blackwell?

⁃oliver oh my gosh mark canon “us”
⁃his metaphors...chewy like old bubblegum...
⁃beck?????? I must know how he’s connected
