#or people who made daisy delete her tweet about how no one gets paid

I genuinely thought every kpop stan knew that a majority of idols make little to no money during their entire career like not even beyond common knowledge I thought it was just a given that everyone knows that since it’s been talked about SO many times but apparently not only do a lot of stans not know that they get mad if anyone, idol or not, points it out

deke’s ambiguous fate...

so i went back to look at the episode to see if i can confirm that the room Jemma walks into to pick up the knife tool is actually Deke’s room and it is

this is the room when Deke opens the door to show Daisy and we see the overhead shot:

this is the same overhead shot of the room when Jemma enters later in the episode

it is further confirmed to be the same room because in the Deke and Daisy scene, the camera actually stays on the desk which has both Deke’s and Fitz’s knife tools

and when Jemma comes in later, there is only one knife tool, Fitz’s, when she goes to pick it up

now one might think this is confirmation that Deke’s gone then, blinked out of existence because his stuff is gone...BUT

let’s not forget what they were trying to do in the scenes post Fitz’s death, both Jemma putting Fitz’s clothes away and the In Remembrance sign, they were all designed to make us believe that Fitz was dead, and so Jemma walking into Deke’s empty room, that’s also designed with the same reason in mind, to make us further believe that Deke is gone because Fitz is gone - it feeds into the narrative they want us to believe

that is until they pull that switcheroo and reveals that it is actually Coulson that they are mourning and that while yes they lost this Fitz who waited all those years to meet them in the future, they technically also didn’t lose him because Fitz is still out there in space waiting

so if there are two Fitzes in the same timeline and Fitz is still alive, then Deke can’t be gone because technically Fitz isn’t gone either, he’s just out in space

and if those scenes before were to make us believe Fitz was gone, then the same logic is applied to the showing of Deke’s room, it’s to make us believe “oh Deke’s blinked out of existence because everything in the room is gone!” but Deke could just as easily have just packed up everything and cleaned it all up and left with his knife tool after the team arrived back.

there are scenes they purposely did not show up so they could do the whole Fitz is gone thing to mess with us - so for all we know, Deke simply packed up and cleaned the room and left to explore - he said as much to Daisy that once the team comes back, he’s gonna leave - well, the team did come back after the fight so Deke could have packed up and left the Lighthouse to explore the world - and he could have left Fitz’s knife tool behind for Jemma so she could give it to Fitz when they find him

just because the room is empty doesn’t mean he’s blinked out of existence - I mean, all the stuff that he took and kept in his room, they’re not from him, they didn’t come with him to the past/present day - they’re stuff that he found in the Lighthouse storage so they wouldn’t blink out of existence with him, that’s not how it works - only his knife tool would have disappeared, not the boxes of twinkies or books that he took from storage - those things never belonged to him and would remain unaffected whether Deke blinks out or not

so, if they pulled one switcheroo and made us think Fitz is dead, then they can easily pull another switcheroo using the empty room to make us think Deke blinked out when he could have just packed up and went to see the world - after all, there are periods of time between the team arriving back to the Lighthouse to Jemma packing up Fitz’s stuff that we didn’t get to see - crucial moments that could have definitively showed us Deke’s fate, yet they CHOSE to keep it vague, they CHOSE to keep people guessing and debating - that just shows that they clearly still have plans for the character or else they could have easily just closed the door on Deke definitively like they did with Ivanov - people were confused on if Ivanov was dead or not and some even debated he wasn’t, yet they came out just said “yeah he’s dead”, there was no vague comments or meaning for people to debate over - when they mean death, they will say it and not be vague

the fact that they have been vague about it even when asked directly about Deke’s fate is just a sign that there is more to it - if this had been the series finale, then yes, Deke’s fate would just be a question mark, something for all of us each to decide - but since we do have renewal, it is something that they can now actually address

not to mention let’s not forget that in the previous episode, they specifically showed Deke taking the navigation chart from the alien ship and commenting on how it could come in handy and guess what? Fitz is in space and they need a map to go find him! So yes, Deke’s navigation chart is going to come in handy!

for all we know, next season we will be shown some scene in flashback to those in between moments that we didn’t see in the finale where Deke before he left could have given Jemma the navigation chart so she could go find Fitz!

they set up this scene very obviously and they haven’t paid off it off this finale, so no doubt they will want to pay it off next season!

and that’s not even mentioning that co-showunner Maurissa Tanchereon posted a tweet right after the season 6 renewal news got out about how there’s more Jeff Ward and Chloe Bennnet shenanigans for season 6, then quickly deleted that post and re-posted a new edited one that added “unless Deke bites it” - she wouldn’t have had to do that if she didn’t slip something important that she wasn’t suppose to that would give away the finale - after all, if that tweet was up then there would be no point of saying that Deke’s fate is a mystery to debate over, there would be no mystery, so her edited new tweet is to keep up the mystery - they wouldn’t go to all that trouble for nothing.
