ppl are saying among us in Glass Onion foreshadowed that someone was sneaking around and murdering the cast, vaguely suggesting it's a link to miles. but that's just sort of the plot of any murder mystery, hence amogus existing in the first place via ancient mystery game Mafia. no, it goes deeper.
what makes amogus special is three things. one, it is known for its special emergency meetings and body discovered votes, in which imposters are given a much greater number of opportunities for misdirection and lying and turning crewmates against each other (usually over loud voice chats where highest charisma wins).
two, it is known for the imposter having the ability to physically sabotage the environment to obfuscate their deeds.
helen frequently demanded answers, launched tirades, or gave a long detailed story multiple times in the movie, in and out of her "andi" character. helen pretended to be incompetent at searching her environment or talking for clues but she was actually amazing at both. helen pretended to be a terrible drinker unlike her late sister but she didnt act drunk until benoit mentioned, and even reflexively went for her fancy drink later. helen made the same mona lisa victory look we see andi used to do as she looks right into the camera as the last shot of the movie. helen literally sabotaged electrical.
when an imposter is accepted by all to be a crewmate, the crewmates lose...or, rather, the imposters win. and as a viewer of the game from the outside, innately, you want the imposter to win. it's the coolest that way.
we never really get detective's confirmation that andi ever died, in any capacity. nor does miles ever at any point in his fits of pride and idiocy stumble into admitting he did it. he killed one guy, and he was gonna kill countless ppl with his shit inventions, and he's a narcissist and manipulator and all around villain. he's the bad guy, no question. nobody wants to see this imposter win.
but there's one more thing that makes among us special. the default, always-used rules.
the game is played with ten people. and with ten players, there are always two imposters. in extreme circumstances, one winds up storytelling and shooting the other to win.
helen is andi all along. good for her 💆♀️

"What's wrong with you?" Twenny hears Seventeen ask Fiftys. "That's a longer face than the Long-necks necks if I've ever seen one."
"Twenny keeps carrying Tennie everywhere", Fiftys mutters.
"Jealous? And here I thought he got Tennie because you absolutely refused to be babied."
"Ew, no", Fiftys says. "But at this rate Tennie will forget how to walk, and then they will take him away, and then Twenny will cry."
Twenny grips Tennie tighter.
"He will not", he says. "And even if he does, I will keep carrying him. He's small."
"He won't be small forever", Seventeen points out. Twenny grips Tennie even tighter.
"He's my little brother", he says, or more states. "I will always carry him."
Seventeen decides to leave it at that, and that's just how Twenny likes it.
---
"You're gonna have to start carrying him on your back soon", Sixies says. "He's getting long. He looks like one of those bugs, with his legs sticking out like that."
Twenny knows that Tennie is sticking his tongue out at Sixies from where he is resting his head against Twenny's shoulder, his arms around Twenny's neck.
"He's too cute to look like a bug", Twenny says. "And I will carry him how I like."
---
He does have to start carry him on his back eventually. At that point Twenny is Cody and Tennie is Fox, and everyone has been telling him that he's just being stubborn and that it was already time for him to stop carrying Fox around like a tubie.
It's way too early for Cody, still.
---
"I didn't know you were such a light-weight", Wolffe teases Fox, as Cody drags him out of 79's.
"Don't bully him", Cody tells Wolffe. "I've seen you under the table too many times for you to be able to say anything."
Wolffe just rolls his eyes as Cody pulls Fox onto his back.
"I'm taking you to our barracks for tonight", Cody says. "You can go back to the Guard's base in the morning."
Fox hums something against the back of Cody's neck. He really is light, Cody thinks then, and he cranes his head back to look at Fox. The only thing he can see is his little brothe's bangs.
"They feeding you enough here?" He asks, and Fox hums something again, too far gone to actually answer, and Cody hoists him higher and tells himself to ask again in the morning.
---
"Don't you think I'm a bit too big for this now?" Fox asks him, his voice coming muffled from where he is speaking against Cody's pauldron.
"Never", Cody answers instantly. "You're my little brother. You cannot be too big for this."
"Okay", Fox answers, and then he is quiet, as Cody carries him up to the higher levels, where the Guard's medics are already coming towards them.
Cody feels weird when he puts Fox down on the gurney. Tight. Too light, like there is a chunk of his flesh suddenly missing.
He ignores it. Fox just has a light concussion and a sprained ankle. He could've gotten himself out of there by himself, by all accords, not that it had mattered to Cody in the slightest. Fox is his little brother. Of course Cody can come and carry him back home.
Fox is fine, and Cody is right there, his hands ready to reach.
---
His dreams have shifted, lately. Almost every night, Cody is standing there, alone, his hands reaching for something, but his arms stay empty, too empty, too light. There is a piece of Cody missing, a piece that is almost the size of himself, if not at the same time impossibly bigger, a gaping wound in his flesh that will not heal.
It will not heal even when he is awake, now, spilling his blood freely wherever he goes, leaving a trail behind him that only he can see.
Cody knows grief. He knows it like it's the second nature of him by now, but something is wrong with it this time. It's like he is already grieving, even though nothing has yet happened.
His General looks at him, sometimes, and from the look in his eyes Cody wonders if he can see the blood as well, if he somehow knows that this is Cody's destiny, and that there is nothing he or anyone else can do about it.
Cody carries it, like the soldier he is.
---
CC-2224 carries it, like the brother he is, and he tries to understand how something can be too light and too heavy at the same time.
Perhaps it is just like how he can be a big brother without a little brother, his arms heavy with the emptiness they now carry.

The Gang+ Roadtrip Headcanons
(Unfinished and never going to be but I wanted to post what I have </3-)
Absolutely loves road trips, is packed days in advance, needs to see every tourist trap and truck stop:
Brett
Is PUMPED - he loves everything about road trips
Sitting in the passenger seat giving directions, driving and jamming with the music as loud as possible, sitting in the back and pointing out animals and funny signs
Very susceptible to billboards - if he’s driving he stops at every tourist attraction/interesting truck stop/sightseeing platform and loves it Every Time
Buys a souvenir from every state he goes through (but it’s always something Huge and Inconvenient to keep in the car, like a cowboy hat or a big ass sign that everyone tells him not to buy)
His road trip playlists are Elite - always classics, or a mix of everyone’s favorites so no one can complain too much
Glenn
Takes his kids on road trips !!! It kills his back but he loves taking them to historical monuments and whatnot
(Not relevant but he absolutely seems like the kind of man who Fucking Loves historical re-enactments ?? He’s out there I know it in my heart)
Everyone hates when he’s allowed to drive because he has terrible road rage and refuses to stop for bathroom breaks or food - not to make good time, but just because he likes The Power
But he’s also good at keeping himself awake so he’s usually the driver at night when the roads are empty
(He still manages to find the one other person on the road and gets cut off or something, curses them out and wakes everyone up-)
Andre
Big fan of terrible roadside attractions - shit like ugly dinosaur sculptures and giant household objects in the middle of nowhere
Loves ridiculous billboards, his camera roll is 90% billboard pictures after the trip
You might think he’s in charge of the snacks but you’d be WRONG
He Will Forget Them
Or only pack edibles and wait for everyone else to realize
Likes to get to the destination as fast as possible, groans every time the others ask to stop:
Reagan
I headcanon she gets carsick super easily and hates the cramped feeling of having to sit near all of the bags/other people
So by the time the trip is over she is LAUNCHING herself out of the car
In the driver’s seat most of the time to avoid the worst of her carsickness (enjoys the added bonus of being able to threaten the others by withholding stops for snacks-)
Robotus
Would probably enjoy it more if he could get out of the car </3
If he’s repaired and has some sort of disguise he actually really likes stopping at the little sightseeing spots (and some of the ridiculous tourist traps but he’ll never admit it)
Makes a snarky comment abt EVERY religious billboard he sees - is absolutely insufferable when going through rural areas
J.R.
I’m not sure how you would even get this man to go on a road trip ???
‘Why can’t I just take my private jet >:(‘
It takes a lot of convincing, I would not be surprised if he’s straight up Never been on a road trip
And he doesn’t,, hate it ? If it’s just the two of you he has fun - but he makes Frequent comments abt how much faster you could have been at your destination (and also probably just,, better destinations that you can’t drive to) if you’d flown
If the rest of The Gang is there he’s miserable - being surrounded by people the whole time has him So So Carsick, he insists on driving as much as possible
Hates it, complains the whole trip:
Myc
He can’t get out of the car, he isn’t allowed to drive (for Several reasons), and No One will let him play his podcast when it’s his turn with the aux
He is Complaining or Sleeping the entire time
