gray and sharing screentime with himself
Tumblr media
in my current brainrot over a singular character, i decided to compile all the distinctions between gray and graham
looking at a very rough approximation of the screen time gray has throughout the show, the weird thing is that he is himself at the beginning and at the end.
graham takes many actions during s1 and s2 that differ from the gray we meet in the train in s1
Name: from found cut content from the original pilot of cs before netflix, it is carmen who suggests gray as graham's nickname. gray takes it without much care. graham, on the other hand, insists on his full name. seen in s2 ep7, both when carmen meets him up at the cafe and after FALLING FROM A PARAGLIDER. when asked his name during s4 ep3, his va emphasizes graham -- though i could be reading into things. guess brainwashing came along with a hatred with nicknames lol (probably to prevent carmen ever triggering gray's memories)
Life goal: we get gray's interview tape that showed his interest in vile, revealing not only was he a criminal before vile but he primarily "[wants] to be successful". (In cut content, during the detention scene where they all discuss code names, gray refuses sheena's suggestion of power failure because he didn't want to be thought of as a failure). gray joined vile because he didn't want to play within the system, believing he's deserving of success more than others due to his own skills so he's better off cheating the system. in contrast, graham in s1 ep6 declines being carmen's guide due to having to go to work early to fix something. He even declines carmen's payment for his work during s2 ep7, only stopped cuz carmen is good at dramatically disappearing. he is so diligent that within eight months, he was able to work up to be a lighting tech from just starting out as an electrician. meanwhile, he gave up being a junior electrican at the Sydney opera house as a teen due to disatisfaction (idk anything abt australia but isnt being a junior electrcian at the sydney opera house a big deal??)
Morality: most blatantly in his line "but we are the good guys" in s2 ep7 (i think he repeats this again during his interrogation with acme in s4), graham has a sense of morality that gray obviously would lack since he joined vile willingly. gray has no issues with stealing and has had a clear arrogance in his abilities ever since he was a teen. killing doesn't seem to be off the table for him, but he only does so if that compromises his mission. (for example, he gives chase a chance to leave during s4 ep 7, so he def isn't taking any excuse to take a life). graham's main act of "goodness" is risking his own life to save a kid in s4 ep3. while im sure gray is heartless enough to watch a kid die, i dont think he would be as ready to risk himself for a stranger. he likely would be more apathetic and would do so if it has some benefit to him or look the other way -- right after saving the kid, "crackle" steals the nameless kid's wallet with a smile. from his confrontation with carmen in the himalyas, he responds to carmen using his old words as him being an "innocent fool", dimissing whatever he believed then as not his own
crackle is another semi identity we get from gray during the fugue state he enters following regaining his memories from acme. it seems to be just due to how drastic the memories are for graham's mind to handle, the split is very direct, with "crackle" - all of gray's training and criminal instincts - being pretty non verbal (he does i think talk on the phone with vile once) and expresionless (he does have an evil little smile after stealing nameless kid's wallet but thats abt it). it honestly is dropped fast once gray is arrested (had to bolt the moment it faced consequences or whatever lol) but it def was entertaining to watch
overall it is just so odd how gray himself is barely in show and if u were to cut out the graham stuff, gray's arc of reconciling his relationship with carmen is largely unchanged. goes to show how wasted the cool amnesia plot stuff was (tho i like brainwashing angst, but i dont blame anyone for not enjoying it. it takes away a lot of the autonomy gray could've had in actually making his morally gray decisions). it honestly feels like they pumped the break of the brainwashing angst we were getting from gray and give it to carmen for the final arc tbh

Carmen - Had no idea what fnaf was 6 months ago and is now currently crazed and caught up on all the lore and theories, watched Markiplier and loves Game Theory
Zack - dressed up as a night guard and keeps telling everyone ITS HAPPENING!!! Sucks at playing fnaf
Ivy - dressed up as foxy and keeps whacking Zack whenever he gets too noisy/ or excited, told Zack, "see that lady who got nommed by freddy over there? that's you if you don't shut up!"
Player - Legit actual crying, told carmen his fnaf theories while she was stuck in VILE island, kept explaining lore over the whole movie
Shadowsan - Got forced to come in full springtrap fit
Jules - secretly ran a fanpage for fnaf but now pretends to just have heard of it, quiet the entire movie but secretly squealing every second
Bonus
Gray - had no idea what fnaf was, but absolutely loved the movie, kept shouting and getting shocked, beat fnaf after playing it.

it's been two years since the last episode of Carmen Sandiego
"We have been experiencing the first uptake in activity in over two years.
No doubt related to the recent escapes."
"CrimeNet indicates that a major hit is going down tonight."

do u think carmen straightens her her before she goes skiing or does this further strengthen the extensions theory because why is she straightening her hair before heading off the the himalayas 🤔
Tumblr media Tumblr media
like were zack and ivy straightening her hair in the van or..🧍🏻‍♀️
Tumblr media
...is it a lace wig? because the front is covered so she doesn't need to finish it as much?
Tumblr media
nonetheless she looks great 🤞
