There Are Three Kinds Of People In This World

in light of Trump's inauguration speech declaring multiple national emergencies that require him to take god-knows-what executive actions immediately, I'd like to remember this chapter of "On Tyranny" by Timothy Snyder:

Where is sbg set???

For the longest time, I have wanted to know where the most part of sbg is set. Idk if the location has been released before and I'm just dumb but I have never come across it in the webtoon, tumblr or red's insta, (edit i also checked the wiki and they only knew of the sorrel weed house) so I assumed it was never stated.

i never was able to try and find it until i was scrolling through tumblr and saw this picture.

Despite seeing this multiple time I had never noticed the bus route map in the corner, so I took a screenshot of it and went to google lens in hope that it was a clue to where it may be set.

To my suprise something did show up! If this is correct than sbg is set somewhere called harrisonburg, VA but to confirm i compared it to the other only real world example in the sbg universe, the sorrel weed house. (btw the sorrel weed house is real haunted house)

according to mr thomas it takes eight hours to get to the savanna (which is two minutes away from the sorrel weed house) so i grabbed google once more and compared those times on google maps.

and according to google it does take about an hour to get to the savannah so it safe to assume that sbg is set in Harrisonburg, Virginia.

(Edit: after I got few comments that sbg was actually set in alto Georgia I looked into it and oops I was wrong. sbg is set in alto Georgia.

Still it's a bit odd because between alto Georgia and savanna Georgia, there is a four hour travel time and also the bus route is set somewhere eight hours away.

Like sbglover4ever said in the comments it might be some sort of foreshadowing, otherwise this is wrong, still it was fun researching this!!)

Are the sbg kids immortal?

Just a quick theory that's been plaguing my mind for a long time, enjoy :)

To start off we all know that based on both tyler's and aiden's deaths you probably can't die in phantom world, but what if that was the same for the real world too?

When the change to the phantom world happens the groups' bodies change from the one in the human dimension to the one in the phantom dimension (into something that may or may not be a human) but their conscious stays the same throughout this process.

So when ashlyn first got scratched by the phantom in the sorrel weed house, her phantom dimension form was injured, but her (real) body was not affected, also in both forms she can recall what happened.

So going off this we can assume that anyone who goes into the phantom world has 2 bodies and one mind that gets transported between both of them.

So what happens when one of these bodies die?

When tyler had the tree accident we know that his phantom dimension body was probably not operational (considering most of his organs were ripped apart) but his human body was, and although it took awhile for him to regain consciousness he woke up after sometime in his human body.

In this situation essentially tylers mind has no choice but to give up on his phantom body and go back to his human body. Even though the phantom body had some magic healing powers and tyler's conscious was able to go back to it later in the story, at this time that body was not able to be used, so i'm theorising that without his human body for his conscious to go back to Tyler would be very dead.

Based on all of this, my guess it that if someone were to die in the human world and had a phantom body in a stable (not dead) condition, they would not die but would just be stuck in the phantom world in that body.

Or if the phantom world is rubbing off on their human form, the human body could regenerate and they could use it again later.

Overall making anyone who has a (in use) phantom body, more or less immortal (if we forget about old age).

Or maybe this is all just 3am brain rot, your choice.

LIKE TO CHARGE REBLOG TO CAST LET'S GET THIS FUCKER EXPLODEDED

Leave me and my inaccurate tenses alone

Ain't no way they just made tumblr shorts

I rly don't like it, but I'm starting to think that the parents are going to have to die or get separated from the main six at some point in escaping the facility for the plot to continue.

A big idea of sbg is people who don't know each other, having to work together to survive and become friends alone the way. It becomes an entirely different story when you add parents to the mix.

Also, it would really inconvent for them to have to move around with an extra ten people.

Either way, I just can't see the plot continuing with the parents joining them in the escape.

(Btw I'm not a fastpasser so I have no idea what happens when they do escape 😅)

im rereading sbg and im at the part of ashlyns birth when her parents had the first ever encounter with a phantom

do you guys think the phantom didnt really look like it wanted to hurt anyone? because to me it looked more curious rather then threatening.

like in the second picture it looked like it just wanted to touch ashlyn instead of hurt her or hurt anyone.

or maybe im reaching idk what do yall think

oh and it didnt try to fight back when mike stabbed it
