Theory for the cover of ACOFM.
Okay, maybe this is a little too insane, but hear me out and please don’t be too mean if this is completely crazy 😭.
Me and some of my friends were looking and deep diving into the new covers, and one of my friends is studying medicine. While looking at the second cover, she noticed that there are three little circles on top of the spider’s head. She said they look a LOT like a sign thats visible under the microscope for a specific disease, this sign being called “ owl’s eye”. (I’ll leave the images here.)
She hasn’t read TOG yet, so when she said that, my mind literally exploded and I started going down a rabbit hole.
SPOILERS FOR TOG AHEAD:
>!As we’ve all been thinking, the spider could potentially be one of the Valg spiders from TOG. So what if those three circles actually represent the “eyes of the owl”?!<
>!We know that owls are the symbol of Silba, and as we found out in TOD, Yrene with Silba’s gift is able to defeat the Valg, she’s able to free the person from the Valg, to drive the Valg out like she’s treating a parasite.!<
I KNOW it’s a little crazy😭 but I had to put the theory out there because >!the three circles + owl’s eye cells + Silba + the Valg!< connection feels way too interesting to ignore.
AGAIN shout out to my friend who noticed this little detail and connected it to her studies.
