FINALLY REFOUND IT!!!

All I'm saying is that the rest of this was correct so Lake Photosynthesis is even more likely to be true bc I'm right always

I've had some confusion about whether or not Lake would actually need to eat, or if they even can. I'll try to stick to canon context but some of this is implied/subtext I read into myself. All just theories for fun!

Our first point of reference is during The Parasite Car!

Lake and Jesse encounter a car themed around food! While Lake does look surprised/impressed, Lake often does just... marvel at new cars. Be it food or flowers, they're just amazed with the world! Every new experience is something to marvel at.

In all fairness, however, neither Jesse nor Lake are seen eating during this episode. Despite Jesse's declarations about being hungry. I think it could be noteworthy how Lake doesn't add to Jesse's comment about being hungry, as a way to make conversation or acknowledge their own hunger, but given that the lack of response could mean anything, I'll leave that to your own speculation!

Food is mentioned next during The Mall Car when Grace gives Jesse candy! Neither Lake nor Jesse make much of a deal about grabbing food, but Jesse specifically does try the candy. He doesn't make any offer of it to Lake, which, given how friendly he is seems in character for him to do. If Lake isn't capable of eating, or doesn't need to, it could explain why he doesn't bother offering them any until after he knows what it tastes like.

There's obviously limited mentions of food, though it's curious how much more often food is mentioned in book two versus the other books. Anyways, on to other context clues. This is where I REALLY start reaching.

We don't see Lake eating and they never touch on food during their question times with Jesse, what we DO see Lake do is SLEEP!

And quite a lot for a character who is supposedly being chased and hiding from the authorities! Lake sleeps a lot considering their story line as well as the fact they "aren't human". It's one of the few things we get to see them do that humans have to do to survive. I think it might be intentional that of all things, we only see Lake sleep. Rewinding to The Toad Car, Sieve has a conversation with Jesse, asking why his phone isn't reflective.

"It's really dark in here right now,"

Reflections don't exist without light, they need light to reflect from.

Arguably it'd make more sense for Lake's character to struggle with sleeping given how chaotic and unsure their life on the train can be. Yet they seem totally fine in the first episode, traveling endlessly from car to car without rest. Until it gets dark. While it's possible Lake could still eat (reflection anatomy will be another blurb I go into later, I truly can't help myself), I think its more important to note that they seem to get most of their energy from sleeping and don't seem like they could stay up once a room dims down.

I'd love to hear any other thoughts, but until then, Lake photosynthesis. (Supported by the fact that mirrors are actually tinted green lol)

the thing is I am pro-rpf on principle, but I do think you should keep it away from the actual people you're shipping. but it is NOT out of concern for their comfort (insert pete wentz bank account post), it's for the same reason that like animal behaviorists and field biologists and such try to stay out of view when they're observing animals in the wild. don't tip them off it's gonna to skew the results of my study.

Literally not a single soul: so why do you think SJM pushed the ACOTAR 6 release date back to 2026?

Me: WELL I’M GLAD YOU ASKED my delulu ass happens to be hoping it’s because she realized Azris is canon and she needs to adjust the plot accordingly

Ji babysitting little Jiequan is such a funny concept to me. Especially in the context of My headcanon, which is that Jiequan is an orphan.

Ji failed so badly at being a caretaker Jiequan turned out like THAT— /j

So glad that @derinthescarletpescatarian is going to write both Inner Life and Child of a Wandering Star next. Presumably at the same time.
