Crystal: ..Don't tell me-

Y/N: He replied "Yes, honey?"

UPDATED: The Mystery of Daniel (Hyungseok)'s Two Bodies: List of the Wild Circulating Theories so Far...

Disclaimer: Not 100% my original thoughts but a combo of multiple fan theories and my own opinions. Spoilers alert, obviously.

BGM:

"Identity" by Jeon Changyeop and Kim Hyunjoon

youtube

Okay this theory post is divided into: A) The origin of the alternate body; B) The functions of the alternate body; C) The reasons why Daniel was chosen or why he found the body; and D) Where the alternate body was stored before.

First, theories of the origin of the alternate body.

Origins A and B explain why the two bodies look more and more alike as the real Daniel grows and matures. The others see it from different angles.

ORIGIN A: FUTURE SELF OR FUTURE/PRESENT TWIN

Theory 1

Most popular theory: the alternate body is Daniel's own future body or a better artificial version of himself, which somehow was transported to the past timeline by either a supernatural (Questism has supernatural elements and is set in PTJ universe, you see) or technological means. As Daniel changes and grows, the alternate body will eventually integrate with the real Daniel or vanish.

Theory 2

The alternate body is Daniel's brain dead biological or artificial twin, which will later get its own consciousness (the theory doesn't mention any connection with Jinyoung Park, the mad genius scientist, or how the body will be conscious).

Theory 3 (Update)

The alternate body is Daniel's alternate timeline self and he transported his body to the past because in the future everything was ruined either by Charles Choi or by Jake's brother and he was determined to fix everything from the start.

ORIGIN B: SOMETHING TO DO WITH JINYOUNG PARK (Why both Daniel's real and alternate bodies look like the scientist)

Theory 1

The alternate body is a real person's body, which is made devoid of any consciousness either from an incurable illness or from a series of experiments, with or without the consent of the body's true owner.

This true owner might be an unknown son of Charles Choi (Choi Dongsoo)'s or Jinyoung's. Therefore, the alternate body is Daniel's twin or cousin or whatever.

Theory 2

The alternate body is an artificial biomachine created by either Charles himself/his team or Jinyoung/his team or together, and was either modeled fully after Jinyoung's young self or sampled from his DNA.

Then who's the real son/relative of Jinyoung's? The answer is the real Daniel.

ORIGIN C: SOMETHING TO DO WITH D.G.'S MURKY PAST

Theory 1

The alternate body is D.G.'s original body (James Lee / Lee Jihoon) that was modified through plastic surgery. D.G.'s current beautiful body is his artificial, alternate one. That's why he looks so young. D.G. planned to live with two bodies while running away from his crimes as James. But he failed.

Theory 2

The alternate body is artificial and was created as D.G.'s alternate body, and was injected with his capabilities and memories as James. But D.G. failed to use it.

In theories 1 & 2, maybe D.G. failed to use the body because:

He parted ways from Charles because of extortion, exploitation, ideological differences? And a) he was no longer helped by the CEO, OR b) he set himself free from Charles.

Or his consciousness couldn't return to that body somehow (if it was his original one) so he has no choice but to live with his current body only.

Or he couldn't transfer his consciousness to it (if it's artificial) and had to resort to plastic surgery instead to shed his James identity.

Theory 3

The alternate body is a result of genetic mutation that runs in James's and Daniel's family (a.k.a they both are genetically predisposed to split into alternate bodies at a certain age and are related).

My opinion: and maybe James' side of the family are all gone, bought into silence or were killed so noone could confirm the connection...idk.

Is that why he lived alone as a student and noone looked for James?

Theory 4 (UPDATE)

The alternate body is James Lee's real body that was modified through plastic surgery and other experiments, and the current DG is an orphan who claimed that identity

ORIGIN D: 'LEGACY' FROM GEN 0 OR GEN 1

Theory 1

The alternate body has been around since the 0th generations but was later stolen and/or stored until it was reused in Daniel's era (the fan theorist did not explain who used it back then and why). Charles probably killed its real owner to get it (whoever created it or whoever originally lived in that body).

Theory 2

Charles was the original owner of that body when he was Elite, or before it. He no longer used it for reasons similar to the previously discussed D.G. theory

Theory 3 (UPDATED)

The original body is the body of Jake's half-brother, and the reason why he was adept with that man's techniques is because he is the original body of that man, not the one in Mexico right now.

Moving on to the theories of the functions of the alternate body (Functions A, B, C)

The theories either pinpoint him as a soldier (function A), an experimental subject (function B) or a private property (function C).

FUNCTION A: TACTICAL DATA BANK/ BIOMACHINE / SOLDIER

Theory 1

The alternate body is someone's private tactical data bank just like the "system" in Questism (another PTJ universe webtoon). The skills are 'downloaded' from various fighters including D.G., Gun Park (Park Jonggun), Goo Kim (Kim Joongoo), 0th & 1st generations fighters, and maybe even countless soldiers, mercenaries, or even criminals that we'll never see in PTJ universe.

Theory 2 (mine)

The alternate body is a biomachine weapon/perfect soldier for hire for criminals/ private sectors/ the government in a secret project carried out by either Charles or Jinyoung (idk...I mean Manager Kim features many of the NK-SK espionage and conflict in its plot, and Viral Hit/How to Fight features mercenaries. Both webtoons are set in PTJ universe.)

Theory 3

The alternate body was an alternate fighter body for various fighters in the previous generation, and the memories of the combat skills were stored from whoever inhabited it, plus multiple fights.

In all three theories, the maximum combat capability can only be accessed when the body senses danger, helplessness, or is drugged (in UI mode)

Theory 4 (UPDATE)

The Body was actually sent from the future by Daniel's future or alternate timeline self to assist Daniel and to prevent the bleak things that happened in the alternate timeline(s).

FUNCTION B: ONGOING SOCIAL EXPERIMENT MONITORED BY SEVERAL PEOPLE

Theory 1

The body serves as a guinea pig for Charles's social experiment on human behavior, which ranges from daily situations (school life) to workplace (industry/hallyu entertainment biz) to dire situations (life and death combats).

Theory 2

CEO Steve Hong (Hong Kyeongyeong), aka Jay (Jaeyeol) 's father actually knew about the social experiment or secret military project regarding the alternate body. He probably has been spying on Charles since forever.

In this theory, Jay has been his dad's unwilling spy since Daniel's alternate body became his friend. He's also in a capacity as alternate body Daniel's secret bodyguard both because he genuinely cares for Daniel and because it's an order from his dad.

In both theories, Crystal is an unaware spy of her dad (through her stories to Gun Park (Park Jonggun). And her original body is the beautiful one which is why she makes sure to do workouts in it. The shorter Crystal is the alternate body.

FUNCTION C: A PRIVATE PROPERTY OF JAMES, ELITE (CHARLES) and/or JINYOUNG

(Please read the previous sections about James, Charles and the 0th generation... if you're still here)

Now, onto the theories of why Daniel was chosen/found the alternate body.

The theories are either focused on Daniel's house itself or the existence of person or persons who might be aware of the existence of alternate bodies. UPDATE: The new theory about a future Daniel is also thrown into the mix.

REASON A: DANIEL'S HOUSE IS THE KEY

Theory 1

Because the house Daniel currently lives in was Charles's first lab and his house, the alternate body was drawn to that place out of his storage or wherever, for whatever purpose, and entered the house when Daniel was asleep.

Theory 2

Because of a supernatural connection between Daniel's current house and Charles's alternate body project, Daniel's alternate body was born in it when Daniel was asleep (something in the house triggered its birth).

REASON B: EXPERIMENT IS THE KEY

Theory 1

Because the alternate body was a gift from Charles (as a part of his social experiment or not)...but I'm not sure about this one. I think when Charles said "gift" he meant sarcastically as in "I lost it but you found it and wasted it."

REASON C: DANIEL'S MOM AND THE 0th GENERATION ARE THE KEY

Theory 1

Because Daniel's mom made a deal with whoever made that body (maybe it was not Charles or Jinyoung, or maybe it was them). And she rented the house for her son on purpose to help him turn his life around or she was forced to participate in an experiment because of something in her/Daniel's dad's past (my opinion: but why didn't she recognize the alternate body as Jinyoung's lookalike/as the body her son would inhabit? Wouldn't whoever made the deal with her show her the body first? Or not? )

In this case

Someone transported the alternate body to the house (someone who knew that Daniel moved there).

Or the alternate body moved on his own..zombie-like, out of wherever he was before.

I must admit that Reasons A and C make me scared lmaooo...imagine the conspiracy. Also imagine a brain dead body moving around while...or one that was born out of thin air.

REASON D: DANIEL'S FUTURE OR ALTERNATE TIMELINE IS THE KEY

Theory 1

Because the alternate body was actually sent by Daniel's future or alternate timeline self to prevent Daniel from making the same mistakes that he made in that future or alternate timeline (the war against Charles and another 'great power')

Last but not least, theories of where the body was stored before Daniel found him.

The places are either secluded or private properties.

Theory 1 (mine)

The secret asylum ran by Hangyeol of Workers (Ilhae) behind the plastic surgery clinic, or in the clinic itself.

If he was a real person maybe

He was abducted and experimented upon in one of its wards without his consent until he was brain dead.

Or he was taken there in secret when he was already brain dead before.

In this case, since apparently Eugene (Yoojin) has no idea of the existence of alternate bodies, maybe Hangyeol either didn't tell him or someone else ran the place before they both did.

Theory 2

Jinyoung's secret lab where Samuel Seo (Seo Seongeun), Johan Song (Song Yohan), and Daniel's alternate body are currently being abducted, tortured, and drugged.

Theory 3

Other locations owned by Charles including Daniel's current house, Charles's companies, his house, his lab, James's old house, his old high school.

Theory 4

Locations owned by D.G. (his house, etc)

Theory 5

Locations owned by members of the 0th generation fighters. I don't know if this is still valid since Gapryong Kim didn't seem to get along that well with Charles/Elite towards the end, and Tom Lee (Lee Dogyu) didn't know about alternate bodies.

Theory 6 (mine)

A government lab (if he was created for government military purposes)

Okay thank you for reading this (if anyone does) and I know it's very long etc. This fandom is full of creative theorists. Anyone who stays with me until the end of this post or even at the beginning, I love you so much and I'm sorr

I doodled some of the girls from Lookism, it started as me doodling just Zoe and Crystal but then I drew the other J-High girls, then eventually everyone else lol

I've kinda been missing the J-High girls lately, hoping we'll get to seem them again once all the Gangism stuff calm down and Workers is out of the way.

....before anyone asks...Zoe and Sophia = Bsst Girls

lookism x percy jackson

look i KNOW i should stop coming up with au ideas but. i thought of a way to write that soldier poet king au and it’s a lookism x percy jackson universe

the original song was technically about recovering from abuse, and i’ll put the summarized / paraphrased / slightly changed interpretations here so it doesn’t clog up space where my notes are

soldier: physically remove the abuser and trauma they caused

poet: provide rationale against the abuser to fight their influence

king: show kindness and love to overcome aftereffects of abuse

SOLDIER: CHOI SOOJUNG

original lyric: there will come a soldier // who carries a mighty sword // he will tear your city down // oh lei oh lai oh lord

daughter of zeus: canonically daughter of one of the most powerful men ever, father has other ‘kids’ (10 geniuses are zeus’ adopted children)

my interpretation of soldier: listens to father’s instructions, the gods’ number 1 supporter, would destroy you if the orders were given to her because it’s her duty and duty is unavoidable and inevitable

soldier with og meaning: would remove any threats to the people she cares about, not afraid to get blood on her hands for law and order

weapon of choice: sword, lightning

POET: PARK HYUNGSEOK

original lyric: there will come a poet // whose weapon is his word // he will slay you with his tongue // oh lei oh lai oh lord

son of aphrodite: the signature Beautiful Guy (dg is son of apollo probably), loved by everyone, not the best at fighting but gets better

my interpretation of poet: weapon is his word because he’s a son of aphrodite he can literally charmspeak people into doing whatever the hell he wants once he learns how to do it well, slay you with his tongue bc aphrodite forced him to learn how to french kiss like irina jelavich from assassination classroom

poet with og meaning: able to confront the truth for what it is, understand it and overcome it, calm and capable of talking people down from fights

weapon of choice: bow, shapeshifting

KING: HONG JAEYEOL

original lyric: there will come a ruler // whose brow is laid in thorn // smeared with oil like david’s boy // oh lei oh lai oh lord

son of hades: not hades / hong kyeongyeong’s favorite child, but definitely is the most powerful one, inherited the most of hades’ abilities

my interpretation of king: the most powerful in terms of fighting ability & authority (let’s face it soojung is not zeus’ fav kid even though she’s the only true half-blood daughter instead of having diluted zeus blood), he’s also the one who’s most experienced with godhood so he’s the one people go to to ask what’s the ‘right’ decision

king with og meaning: if he loves you he’ll be the kindest person you’ll ever meet, would sacrifice everything and/or be a martyr if it means safety

weapon of choice: scythe, physical shadows

PLOT

prophecy: do NOT ask me to poetry right now but it basically implies hyungseok is going to destroy the gods (aka the four crews / 1st gen / pre gen), soojung and jaeyeol are also involved in the prophecy, states that one of them will die but nobody knows who. naturally they get forced to go on a quest together

expectation: soojung and jaeyeol will kill hyungseok because they’re children of the big three and hyungseok is just a nobody who got abandoned at birth and grew up with a poor mortal + he’s going to destroy their parents and they should have some filial piety right

plot twist: well guess what jaeyeol and hades are not on the best terms, jaeyeol literally would not care less if the gods got kicked off their pedestals, somehow he and hyungseok befriend each other and jaeyeol falls for him but hyungseok is oblivious. hyungseok is still hoping the prophecy has a double meaning and has 0 idea about jaeyeol’s feelings the whole time, jaeyeol gets bullied by aphrodite. actually hyungseok likes jaeyeol too but he’s scared of being bullied by aphrodite / jaeyeol hating him when he finds out / dying, so he doesn’t tell jaeyeol anything

reality: somehow someone tricks hyungseok into cursing jaeyeol and soojung to fight each other, the gods are already kind of in panic because hyungseok is pretty op by now but jaeyeol doesn’t want hyungseok to die at the end of the prophecy so he lets soojung kill him, but this is precisely the reason why hyungseok goes ballistic and destroys the gods

ENDING

we could have the good ending or the bad ending what would you prefer

bad ending: hyungseok destroys the gods but gets mortally wounded in turn, he dies hand in hand with jaeyeol and the furies rip their souls to shreds so they will never be reborn but at least they’re dead together. soojung tries her best not to get crushed under the guilt and grief of losing two of her closest friends

good ending: hades pops up at the end like damn ok. you had your character development. i guess it’s time for me to start my good dad arc. and then revives jaeyeol, so basically the gods get bullied by a half-mortal twink trying to protect his not-boyfriend who was un-alived and has now been re-alived. the prophecy works out bc nobody said dead people couldn’t come back to life + the gods got rekt that counts as being destroyed

will i write this au? i don’t know! will it be fun to write? oh absolutely

#lookism #lookism au #lookism mini fic?#i literally have the plot right there #jay hong #hong jaeyeol #daniel park #park hyungseok #crystal choi #choi soojung #i would've had gun in crystal's place but i think crystaljay is better for this #also crystaljay relationship study #bc they don't interact enough in canon #and they should #hyungseok be like when you're a child of aphrodite and you're in love with two people at the same time #but only one of them loves you back #and the one who loves you dies to save you #jay with nico di angelo vibes #grunge emo gay #with the brightest hair you've ever seen #bc hades said don't dye ur hair u useless twink so that's exactly what he did #jay's hair color changes as a metaphor for time passing #from black (night time + young and bright eyed)#to bleached blond (early morning + rebellious phase)#to platinum blond (midday + prime of his life)#and finally ash blond (dusk + he's dead)#janiel #jaeseok

The main reason why I like Crystal Choi is that she looks so much like me. It's not about the hypocrisy that the haters always talking about. Its about anger for the mansplaning. I'm Indonesian, I spend a lot of time on Facebook because my close friends are also Facebook users (yes I use other platforms too but Facebook is the most).

The atmosphere of Facebook in Indonesia has a strong far right wing vibe. You know, a country with a Moslem majority has big potential to be homophobic and misogynistic. Fine, I’m understand about how homophobic they are, but misogynistic? Its makes me can't stand it. Facebook in Indonesia is full of misogynistic weaboos (they don't deserve to be called otaku. They are really problematic and too worshiping Japan).

Even in lookism fandom (in Indonesia, lookism fandom is dominated by fanboys). I am often discriminated because they think that most women only look at handsome figures. This is hypocritical due to the fact that they don't care about the story and only care about the strength of the characters not matter the character is bad or not.

I'm tired of a lot of memes based of mansplaning. They think all women are equally problematic but they refuse to be equated. They are truly incel, don’t want to introspect themself and only blame women. They often compare Indonesian women to Japanese (sometimes Russian) woman and start to dreaming that they will be treated like in anime or adult videos.

Sometimes it wants to make me stop playing the internet. I unfriended Facebook friends several times just because they’re sharing problematic memes typical of the far right wing kid. This is not only Facebook, all of social media in Indonesia has indeed been dominated by people like that since after the Indonesian presidential election in 2019. But I remember some of my close friends are not like that and even they are opposed. so I decided to stay.

despite the lookism main story having an unfathomable lore iceberg, what i really really want is gen 0 lore. like do you think charles choi killed gapryong bcz that lousy bastard cheated on him too? and james lee is gapy is and charles' kid who ended up on charles' side of the divorce? would that make jake and crystal step-siblings? is park jinyoung the sperm donor for daniel's perfect body? did tom lee lose his left hand from jerking off too hard?

Of all the shelved ships of lookism I think Eli x Crystal and Luah x Johan could still be re-explored in the future as true friendships, really. Just that friendship alone will still be good.

I mean, why not?

Eli was abused by his stepparents because his beauty made them see him as a monster, and Crystal's beauty and brain were utilized by her dad to expand his business empire. They were saddled with too many responsibilities on their shoulders, and Eli crumbled and resorted to crime because of it while Crystal was coping with the pressures by working so hard. Aren't these some points that they could talk about someday?

Then Luah, who was a wounded (and abused?) runaway child and found by Big Deal, and Johan who went through a similar ordeal? Aren't they both lonely while they tried so hard to stay independent? Aren't they people who would forsake basic comfort just to survive?

Or better still, maybe make all four of them good friends someday? Now how about that?

Now don't get me wrong, I enjoy reading the fight scenes so much but some more humane moments will be good.
