I know The Founders Cut, generally, is the edited scrubbed over version of genloss from Showfall in-universe (as well as a not-8-hour-long-three-stream-binge-night whenever we want to watch it again) but something that struck me as odd and I haven’t seen anyone mention yet, is this warning

It shows up right at the junction where the third act starts, where it appears the Hero is breaking free of Showfall thanks to Hetch. But here’s the thing, while a LOT less than the previous acts the audience still played a significant role in this act, even when really only given two audience interaction choices. Which makes me wonder, how real is this warning, and who is it for? Obviously the audience involved knows what happens past this point, but the audience is also implied to be an integral part of the Social Experiments, which is part of why things start to tweak out when the Founder removes them in the Founder Cut as the Generation Loss generation loses.

My first thought, was that obviously this is another bait and switch, a way to draw the audiences attention, seeing something that’s secret, something that’s not “meant for them”, which is a tactic I could see Showfall using in universe to keep people’s attention and add an air of mystery to their shows.

But

Showfall is doing all their experiments and these shows with a LOT of help from their censors to show it off, displaying a fun silly show that is definitely not uber fucked up and that is 100% just slime don’t worry about it, it’s kid friendly if it’s green! And I don’t think they’d want to bet all their cards on this one experiment doing well enough to their audience to not question the sudden shift in tone that follows this warning. Which makes me wonder.

They did their test, they did their experiment, and the evidence of this last act? I think it was a one time run, they don’t want anyone seeing this, it isn’t for the audience. Act three is specifically to both test and play with their Hero, Hetch’s new lines add a level to this, never once does he call the Hero by their name, just refers to Ranboo as their Role, and he’s not exactly. Nice? About literally any of Ranboos concerns, which wouldn’t really seem conductive to making an audience trust him, especially with his monologue at the end. Ranboo has escaped before, possibly right before act 1 started, they tightened the security on his mask to be unremovably part of them, Hetch doesn’t like the Hero but they’re a fan favorite so he can’t just get rid of them.

Act three is the cumulation of Ranboo being punished for things they don’t remember, for daring to break free from Showfalls control, this is Hetch taking the Hero and essentially majorly fucking and manipulating them to take his frustration out on a fan favorite they can’t otherwise get rid of or give a smaller role like Slimecicle. which is exemplified by the fact that we now know Charlie most likely was never able to actually able to fully snap out of the control, that even in act three in panic and confusion there was at least still a part of him being influenced by Showfall.

So the first two acts are the usual show, they have their posters, they have Squiggles to introduce them, they have goofs and silliness and only a couple slip ups that’re quickly dealt with, the usual rose tinted curtains. Act three?

The best option was to kill Ranboo. Everyone begging for him to “live” assumes that choice would be the merciful option is naïve for thinking Hatch would simply set him free. No he said verbatim that Ranboo would continue to be our plaything until they became “unusable.” That isn’t being alive, that’s torture, especially for someone who was begging to be killed in the end.

People pushing for a 50/50 split are also naïve in the way Showfall Media operates. While we never know what would happen if the vote split, it wouldn’t of mattered anyway. Hell, it doesn’t matter that we choose to kill. What has been the constant sentiment throughout this series?

OUR CHOICES DO NOT MATTER

Ranboo was dead man walking before the show even began. Do you really think Hatch really is gonna let Ranboo die on his own accord just because twitch chat felt bad for him? NO! He is probably being reprogrammed as we speak, up and ready for their next show. None of this matters. All of this was for data on the newly implemented live audience Hatch installed to see how we would react to certain things.

How could Ranboo’s death be our fault, when our actions and emotions were also being used by Showfall Media?

Who says we weren’t just as trapped as Ranboo, only we get the privilege of remembering his death.

when’s my bbg and her bbg coming home from the war (hiatus)

Okay but im so sad that it seems like 99% of genloss fans don't appreciate chronicle 0 beyond shipping z and j.

Like, there's so many hints abt z's past but I've never seen anyone discuss it ever??? I'm sure those ppl r out there but.

Anyways onto my actual thoughts abt this, I'm fairly confident 8 months before z starting keeping the journal they got into a car crash and it's likely they were the only survivor.

Just like, the constant references back to cars, then a hospital, then directly saying "the wreck". Which like, is usually only a phrase people use when talking about car crashes.

And while I lean towards the concept of a cycle not being literal in the supernatural way, these dreams definitely do have the vibes of z reliving this traumatic moment, just in the very abstract way.

Now where the fuck do I think this is going and how it could possibly tie into genloss as a whole? No clue lmao. I think ranboo called chronicle 0 gen 0.5 or smthing once.

But i think the reason why it's hard to tell how this might tie in is because. We're still at the opening of chronicle 0. Like I still feel like at where ranboo left it last we hadn't even gotten into the "rising action" of the story yet, it still feels like we're getting introduced to z, j, 'Teach', Mary (I'm feeling like this is z's therapist), and I can't tell if the manager and the 'boss guy' z talks abt r the same guy or two different ones.

Anyways I don't have much more to say I just wanted to yap abt chronicle 0 cuz not enough people do

[genloss-confessions]

"zero was confirmed a girl"

are you telling me you took the "please don't use my gendered honorific and last name and call me this obviously different thing instead" to mean the character was cisgender. did we read the same scene. do you think this human being's legal name is zero roads.
