Just so you know, whenever we invent yet another fake fandom character, they inadvertently blink into existence, ill-formed and meaningless, only to be trapped within the hellish liminal space created by the zeitgeist of our collective consciousness.
I appreciate the historical accuracy of the inclusion of the bounce house
Ya know I was thinking about (maybe giving GUN more credit than they deserve but like) what if GUN knew Ivo wanted more human connection than he let on so they just keep sending agents into Ivos space. They know it wont work out but that little bit of attention and human interaction keeps Ivo somewhat pliable and working with them but they never get too attached (Ivo eventually will lose his temper and fire them or theyll refuse to work with him anymore) and weaken the control GUN has on Ivo.
But then Ivo has started rejecting agents more and more often and hes been getting harder to manipulate and control…. so then they choose Stone. And Stone has such a good, tolerant temperament and a dogged efficiency for work they figure he’ll stay in Ivo’s space long enough for them to build up more reserve agents so throw at Ivo again…
BUT… Stone genuinely admires Ivo and his work and in a way that Ivo knows hes not just gonna take it. He still knows Stone is a GUN agent and is suspicious… but as far as agents go Stone is tolerable.
And Stone doesnt leave and GUN is like… ‘Oh fuck… oh shit’ sweatin bullets because maybe Stone is TOO tolerant and TOO efficient. Hes gonna do his job… which is to take care of Ivo.
And they certainly didnt expect Ivo to aggressively latch onto a person cuz they certainly never expected someone to ever empathize with or love Ivo the way Stone has.
GUN accidentally gives the mad doctor his greatest asset…
but also kinda inadvertently in the end saves the world.
But then Stone decides that 'I’ll save the world for you’ was more a 'The world was mine but now its yours, Stone’ and decides to fulfill Ivos dreams of world domination.
