maybe someone's said this before but what if all the girls an alternate version of themselves, aka their animal, and that's the opposite side of the mobius strip. so haseul killing her bird self means that on one side all 12 are together but on the other there's only 11
so hi high and butterfly took place on one side of the strip and so what and why not took place on the other, and when haseul does come back then that video will be on the other side of the strip again
i'm not sure if any of this makes sense bc the mobius strip's involvement in lore is a bit vague but i was just thinking like what if they all have that other version of themselves too?
and if it's like their representative animal, then maybe the girls in so what and why not are supposed to have the traits of those animals, like jinsoul being kind of evil and tricking vivi, choerry hanging upside down like a bat, olivia hye and her pack of wolves
and i know this isn't the first time we've seen these traits with the girls obviously, since the animal symbolism is in every solo video. but what if that's because singing in the rain and egoist did take place on that other side? and lcm takes place in both ofc
it gets kind of complicated at that point because then i start wondering how earth, middle earth and eden tie into it. but if i put that aside, i would think this:
-vivid takes place on both sides of the strip (her waking up in a new world, then shown to be just daydreaming at the end)
-around you takes place on the normal side
-let me in takes place on the alternate side
-kiss later, love&live and edily take place on the normal side
-around you takes place on the normal side
-let me in takes place on the alternate side
-kiss later, love&live and edily take place on the normal side
-ediny takes place on the alternate side
-eclipse takes place on both sides (her walking to the red circle in her school clothes, then the outfit change and backup dancers, only for her to be alone back in her original outfit at the end)
-eclipse takes place on both sides (her walking to the red circle in her school clothes, then the outfit change and backup dancers, only for her to be alone back in her original outfit at the end)
-singing in the rain takes place on the alternate side
-lcm takes place on both, the "i imagine" part being the alternate side ofc
-girl front takes place on the alternate side
-sweet crazy love takes place on the normal side, until the colorful part
-lcm takes place on both, the "i imagine" part being the alternate side ofc
-girl front takes place on the alternate side
-sweet crazy love takes place on the normal side, until the colorful part
-new takes place on the alternate side
-heart attack takes place on the normal side, then the alternate side when she eats the strawberry
-one & only takes place on the normal side, then the alt side when she eats the pineapple
-egoist takes place on the alternate side
-heart attack takes place on the normal side, then the alternate side when she eats the strawberry
-one & only takes place on the normal side, then the alt side when she eats the pineapple
-egoist takes place on the alternate side
-love4eva takes place on the normal side
-hi high andbbutterfly take place on the normal side
-so what and why not take place on the alternate side
-hi high andbbutterfly take place on the normal side
-so what and why not take place on the alternate side
so basically earth and eden would be on the normal world, while middle earth would be the alternate side, and when yyxy eat the fruit they go to the other side. so like eden would actually just be a place on earth, and while there are 3 different locations there's only 2 sides
another thing i just thought of is that if there's 12 girls on one side but 11 on the other, maybe jinsoul tricking vivi (and potentially being the one to kill her? or maybe getting olivia hye to kill her?) was her attempt at sabotaging loona even more so,
since they were already down to 11 on that side (following that the events of why not are on the "alternate side", and jinsoul tricks vivi there). maybe it was part of her plan to eventually kill all the girls' alternate selves?
and jinsoul putting the betta fish in with all the goldfish is symbolic of her entering their world and destroying them all till she's the only one left omg
