>>127969242>Virginia's universe was already infested with Special Trees and other weirdness we knew this for a while.right, that's why I said "slightly fictionalized". I just don't see the point of introducing a universe that is, save obligatory dimensional weirdness, exactly like ours, and then having it not be ours.
I thought the forest of special trees was in the Dean/Rockefellerverse like everything else because it seemed to line up with the events surrounding the angel.
>on August 17th, 2003, the angel hijacks a plane and drops "packages" of an unknown nature on Mount Rushmore, Alcatraz, the Statue of Liberty, and the Washington Monument>Special Trees begin growing on Mount Rushmore from August 18th to August 24th>some time in 2003, the special tree within the washington monument bends, lightning strikes it, and the washington absentees are released. we do not see the aftermath of this event on camera, but there is later reference to a "Washington Zone">at another unknown point in 2003, Alcatraz undergoes radiation therapy for an unknown reason. this causes it to divide rapidly and results in the formation of an "Alcatraz Zone".>the statue of liberty is still gone lolso I, for some fucking reason, thought that these packages were something that made special trees grow, that Alcatraz underwent radiation therapy to try and stop the trees from growing, and that the zones named after monuments referred to areas centered on those monuments considered uninhabitable due to either an overabundance of special trees or islands destroying everything. this would fit with the slowly expanding circles seen in airforceoneangel.
but AEKSHUALLY, these things that are mentioned in tandem in fact have FUCKALL to do with each other, and the zones are really unified states (still no clue what that means) and the angel is going to split the states up even though he's the dingus that just mashed them together. which begs the important question of what those packages even did.
