i just realized that TGED is basically like some dudes fanfiction of the base story

think about it, lloyd was meant to be some nobody in the base story, but if we know anything as internet users, even the random nobody has tons of fans, so somebody made a fanfiction where the random nobody replaced the mary sue mc [javier, admit it, he's a mary sue], and they go on smaller world building adventures and are lowkey gay, and in the real world suho is just some dude working a dead end job, someone who's totally the type to write a self insert

THE GREATEST ESTATE DEVELOPER IS JUST SUHO KIM'S THE KNIGHT OF BLOOD AND IRON SELF INSERT FANFICTION

i don't actually believe this is the case but you gotta admit, it fits rather well
