What if Ratio isn’t just some guy but a spy for another faction, like maybe he is part of the masked fools or another faction? How betrayed would Topaz and Aventurine feel that they’re friend isn’t who he said he was? That Ratio was just playing a role to gather information.
Or even worse if Dr. Ratio was Oswaldo right hand man, sent to disrupt and spy on the ten stonehearts and in doing so seduces two to make Diamond jealous and distracted. Like Oswaldo main competitor is Diamond and maybe he sent Ratio to keep track of the stonehearts movement?
I think I would die horrifically in a fire but that would also be incredibly compelling so I don’t hate it either.
Oh Ratio being a spy, oh Ratio being a betrayer, that would hurt so bad because he’s presented as someone who cares sososo much and to have that just be a lie? Ugh I hate it just as much as I love it
Imagine the look on Aventurine’s face as the person closest to him turned out to be a spy all along
The person who gave him a reason to live having never cared in the first place
Now that’s all well and good and I’m not lying when I say I would never recover from that, but imagine this
It’s a double cross
You still get the betrayal, the devastation, but Ratio has always been good at playing the fool. He did it at the space station, he did it in Penacony, and he’s doing it now.
He almost gives up, seeing how broken the other two look, but Ratio is playing the long run and everyone is none the wiser.
So they win, and Oswaldo is gone for good, Ratio gets injured, and is backed into a corner by both Aventurine, Topaz, and the astral express, and they are about to demand answers and/or even kill him.
Aventurine is the angriest, he grabs him by the shoulder and demands Ratio give him answers, give him anything.
He just smiles
And asks them who they think allowed them to be victorious in the first place?
Everything clicks, Ratio passes out and it all falls apart.
It will piece itself back together again, BUT GODDDDD GODDDD HOYO IF YOU DO THIS I WILL FORGIVE YOU FOR ALL YOUR SINS
PLEASE DO IT PLEASE DO IT PLEASE PLWASE PLWASE PLEASE PLS OKS PLS OLS PLSSSSS

“Ways to keep your partner safe, a guide for the romantically inept”
“”We were gonna practice, he was teaching me ya know– showing me everything he knew about the instrument.”
He shook his head.
“I arrived late. Was caught up with something at the house– I should’ve left sooner—I should have known –”
His eyes squeezed shut painfully– something biting at the edges of his face.
He let out a shaky breath.
“Torn up he was. Could barely even recognize him and that thing–”
His hands clenched painfully.
Dragged him under– took us weeks to even find his body.”
I felt a chasm open in the bottom of my stomach, my eyes went wide and my skin felt cold.
“They closed up the whole beach after that, said cause it was a crime scene, but it’s been months now. They know the truth we all know the truth.”
Monty’s glare darkened. A bottomless panic started to seep into the peripherals of my vision.
“That fucking fish killed him.””
————
“Settling against him, a warmth blossomed between our bodies that was both familiar and comforting. His large hands wrapped around me, holding me close like a lifeline. I lightly traced the veins in his arms as I heard the soft breathing against my neck.
Something lingered though, just in the very back of my mind.
Just a seedling of a thought.
I tried not to think too much about how his arms wrapped around me, trapping me against the covers.
How it felt so similar to beastly waves, holding onto me and pulling me under.
No— I wasn’t thinking that.
I was cuddling with my boyfriend- like we always do. Something I never had a problem with before.
I loved Sun and nothing was going to change that.
…
…nothing…”

Hey do you think Kayne calling Dark Arthur Darthur is a reference to the ship name Jarthur? Do you have any thoughts on this?
No, Darthur is a reference to a lot of other fictional characters that have been called “d[insert character name] or “dark [insert character name]” whenever that character has an evil version. This is usually a fan thing and might be a nod to Kayne treating Arthur and John like a show he likes.
