THEORY THEORY THEORY
My brother and I were talking about our dear Jovesons, and I came up with a theory that will not leave me alone lol
Here it is:
Harmony is a Joveson.
In ER, Harmony mentions she has seven brothers. They're all unfortunately passed away, along with Melody, but here's where I think Harmony and her siblings are Jovesons.
Kyle in Book One says that "Jupiter has ten sons" and we know for certain that there's an unknown amount of sisters/daughters (as mentioned by Emma)
We know of three Joveson sons and one daughter (Winslow, Whit, Smalls, and Emma). Which means, if we add those seven dead sons then we have ten (10) sons in all (this is probably one of the more farfetched theories I have lol)
The Tunneler possibly adopted the nine kids to attempt to protect them from Morbin and such (which failed, but eh). Harmony might not have been old enough to remember Jupiter as a father. Either that or her seven brothers asked the Tunneler to pretend to be her father so she wouldn't draw suspicion from Longtreader Command.
I'm not gonna try and figure out the ages of Harmony and her brothers since last time I tried to do that it gave me a headache š
Did Garten know about this? I'm not sure since he shows no indication of remembering Melody in the dining room scene, but it's not really his job to remember all of Jupie's kids xD
This theory probably happened bc I'm annoyed that Glen, Whit, and Winslow never mentioned their other siblings/children except for a vague mention from Whit but I'm gonna hold onto this xD
I have no clue why I came up with this
An interesting proposal. However, I believe Kyle also said that Jupiter's sons-aside from Smalls-were all basically fighting over what was left of First Warren, whereas other characters stated that they had thrown their support behind Winslow. I would guess that, aside from Winslow and Whitbie, most of them ended up as minor bureaucrats in Morbin's regime, and had little or no power at all once First Warren was liberated. Hopefully they changed their ways and embraced Emma and later Smalls, but it's kind of understandable why they didn't get any prominence in Ember Rising or Ember's End. Winslow had insider information as the former governor of First Warren, whereas Whit was the one brother who returned to the Cause BEFORE they blew a hole in the city wall.
WHOA! That is DEEP. I have never considered that before- I feel like I'm slacking now, bc I've had some really weird KotLC theories but.... it actually makes sense.
Iām internally screaming in confusion.
You're a genius
Oooh whoah! So so cool! That makes total sense!
