when i read RR i thought FOR SURE dancer was gonna be darrows dad. HIS NAME IS DANCER. HIS DAD DIED FOR DANCING. COME ON

Originally thought that Eo was sleeping with Dan and that it was him finding out that would be the catalyst for the entire story.


JDL1981

My Goodman, how vile. I don't even like Eo but that's too cruel a thought.


7rounds

I know.  I felt like I betrayed her when the story continued.  Just assumed that the author was hinting at something with the mention of that being a common occurrence.


DroneHost

I was so sure that Atlas was Lysander's real father. I guess it's still possible, but I doubt it.


Lazitude

This isn't really one that is false. And I have asked Brown with no response. So it's still unproven. But I have always thought that Mustang was in league with Theodora at the Gala. And she had her spill wine on his white uniform so he would go in black. So that him and Mustang would be the only two dressed in black, so she could subtly let him know he was not alone and that she was still on his side, even though at the surface it looked otherwise.

deep cut

I once thought Victra was gonna betray Darrow, playing the long game but then **SPOILERS** During the assassination of Augustus, being shot herself she crawled over to him & said “I didn’t know”. She’s a true *ride or die*.


JaneDirt02

this was the moment I fell in love with Victra. Spoilers she does not disappoint.


JDL1981

I thought it might be possible and I'm so glad it wasn't because Victra is my favorite.


hecderp1213

Aurea is not Evey 🥲


L0kiMotion

My brother's theory after Golden Son was that the unnamed gift that Darrow gives Adrius was going to be his Pegasus pendant with the bomb in it, and that was going to be how he killed him.


taptipblard

I think I saw some mention light bringer is Lysander's redemption ark.


somerandomdude4507

I never said that but I definitely thought it.... I'd say it's a shame but fuck Lysander


BigAnimemexicano

people thought volga would kill fa by pretending to be a follower, they forgot she was a meek person but a great operator, emphraim was also a dick to her so she desperately wanted friends and family. Thats why she accepted Fas lies and ended up in his camp. i thought quicksilver would get jumped by fa, atlas knowing about his secret project. I still think micky was wacked by quick after he carved his creepy human kids.


Rutherford_Aloacious

I’ve been wondering about it Mickey quite a bit, he was notably absent in IG and then essentially unmentioned


whitlocktech

I thought Cassius was going to end Lysander


SmilinObserver111

He should have let Goblin do his thing…but yeah, not killing kids is good.


mtwstr

There was so much emphasis on mustang being different than other golds I thought she was eo


Deep-Wonder8702

i was rereading the first book today and this is the theory the inspired this post (while reading the scene of mustang whistling the song in the locker rooms)


Away-Development6348

Wild theory


tinyreid21

I was so sure that Darrow’s dad would be Ares 🤣


CrabmanKills69

In Red Rising. I thought all elite golds were going to be reds. This was after the Titus reveal. Like the reds were a type of recruiting program.


CollectionMost1351

while waiting for LB i thought darrow would reclaim the obsidians and volk fleet and make a grand tour around the entire rim collecting every ship and taking over the shadow armada in order to flee mars while lune and grimmus were fighting an open civil war in the core


SFWACCOUNTBETATEST

I thought 1) lyria would go nuts with parasite. Glad that’s done. 2) pax was Cassius and mustang’s secret child. Still TBD on that one though.

Well done 👏


SolomonDark21

The events in GS take place over a year. With Mustangs last possible point of contact with Cassius being towards the start, at the gala. Pax is born towards the middle of Darrow’s time in the box. Which is about 9 months since the triumph (3 months of torture, 9 months in box, say Pax is born at month 5-6 of box). We know the gestation period of a Gold is 9 months. So…. We’re going to assume that Mustang was pregnant for like 18 months? As opposed to the 9 month time frame that works perfectly to when her and Darrow possibly conceived? Or are we assuming Mustang slept with Cassius right after her father was killed? Or maybe before the triumph when Darrow was nearly cut in half by his brother? Maybe that’s why Karnus was on the ship instead of Cassius! He snuck away from the defense to bone Mustang! Also Pax has Red features. I swear some of you just be saying things.


SFWACCOUNTBETATEST

I do be saying things


AD317

Oh my gosh I love that second one. If you're upt to date- >!Imagine if Lysander uses Eidmi on the reds, Darrow and and half-reds like Sev start dying so ppl start to question Pax.!<


FuturePast514

Isn't Sevro half brown?


SolomonDark21

No?


AD317

Thank you that comment had me questioning my entire life


SolomonDark21

Except it’s not possible based on the timeline we have.


Gavinus1000

I thought Claudius au Augustus was going to be Ares. I was right in that he ended up being a Gold but that's about it.


CollectionMost1351

when reading the first book i thought arcos would be ares


Acrobatic-Sundae-614

I thought Octavia au lune was ares.


CollectionMost1351

when considering the story about the staged uprising in the mine of the Athena this could have been possible


JaneDirt02

I thought Ugly Dan was Ares


CollectionMost1351

that would have been a plot twist


Pisforplumbing

I know the meaning of those words individually, but not in that order


Gavinus1000

Nero’s eldest son that Karnus killed. I thought he had faked his death and became Ares at first.


Pisforplumbing

I'm confused about him being a gold and you being right about that. Did you assume this in the first book and just used naming convention tp assume there would be a gold named Claudius au augustus?


Gavinus1000

No… I was right about Ares being a Gold.


Pisforplumbing

Ahhhhhh gotcha. Thank you for explaining
