Status Updates From Hungry

And I was right about AnonyGal. The second time, anyways.

I was right about what the pump house is for.

Oh, by the way, Basil is the bolter. The one who ran from the hospital.

I was right! When Mr. Clemens mentioned the looney bin, I thought, What if the doctor is Dr. Demeter? Haza confirms it, and I guess now we know what she was chosen for. Also, I should have realized before, OF COURSE the doctor on the farm in Dr. Demeter; Demeter is the Greek goddess of the harvest. It was a clue.

Oh. I think I just realized what they do in the pump house. Or rather, the true purpose of what they do in the pump house.

STOP TRYING TO FORCE HER TO BE HAPPY! It’s so messed up. Instead of wanting Thalia to be happy because he wants her to be happy, he wants her to be happy because it’ll make himself more happier and then he can stay there unconflicted. If he actually cared, he would listen when she says she doesn’t like it here and stop trying to guilt her into staying.

LIVE FREELY!? DO YOU HEAR YOURSELF!? NO ONE IN THAT PLACE LIVES FREELY! THEY LIVE DOING WHAT GAIA SAYS! I know I said I like cult books, and this might seem contradictory to that. But Basil should know better, especially with Thalia right there telling him what’s what.

Gaia absolutely has access to Gizmo or something else with connection. That’s how she knew Thalia’s parents tried to keep them apart, and how she “knows” things like what they can do.

Basil’s a moron. That girl literally SAID she has the kid because GAIA said, not because she wanted to. The good thing about this is this will raise the book in my rating, because I LOVE cults.

I KNEW Basil would be drawn into the cult. It’s because he didn’t get affection from his parents, so he seeks it out from wherever he can get it, even if that place is a crazy cult leader.

So many things! Ana is NOT AnonyGal, because she posted again after Ana’s death. Could she be Thalia’s dad? I feel like that makes sense. Also, I noticed a discrepancy. Basil said he was with his brother when he cut his leg, at age six or seven, but then he said his brother died when he was five. Most importantly, the farm is a cult. 1000%

Ana is AnonyGal. THAT'S why she's offline; she's in jail.

Why do I feel like Basil is going to betray her?

Are the Personal Cyber Assistants (PCAs) sexist? So far the only two have had female names, though both have been PCAs for women. I’ll have to wait and see if a man also has a female PCA, or vice versa.
