[@Elementroar]

So they updated A.B.A and Paracelsus’ bios on GG World with the Slayer patch. One update is removing all the fluff about how Paracelsus “never agreed to be wed to A.B.A” and he’s now stated simply as “A.B.A’s husband”. So he accepted the marriage proposal, lol! The second big thing is that it’s revealed that A.B.A’s mental control over Para’s form is so strong, that he actually can turn into a human right now if A.B.A really wants him to, but she has a subconscious fear that he will leave her if he has legs so her own mental block has stopped this process the whole time. And “only Paracelsus is privy to this fact” and he hasn’t told A.B.A. So when he’s reassuring her that he won’t leave her in the arcade ending, he’s already mentally prepared to start shifting into a human form. That means he also knows if he doesn’t start changing, then A.B.A still subconsciously fears he will leave her. So basically Testament needs to come back and give some trust issues therapy to A.B.A before she’ll ever get Para in a human form.

[@bittersweetpepper2482]

But hey atleast he turned blue.

[@snowparody]

Wow that's incredible, but also a little worrisome if everything he says truly isn't genuine and just a manipulation tactic to become human

[@jacobkrakowski]

Oooooooooh. I feel like this makes that whole scene where Para says, "Would you mind saving me from this hell I'm in?" Make so much more sense to me as I though hes was just saying "Testament dawg please get me away from this crazy bitch." Which then feels like Testments response is just feel like "Nah dawg your on your fucking own." But with this new context feels like "this hell I'm in" actually means he keeps trying to let ABA know he cares about her but she just won't listen to him. Which makes Testament response feel more in tune with "sorry broski thats something your two love birds will have to figure out on your own" kind of thing. Which then explains why the true ending is just them on their own figuring out how to handle their relationship now without counseling.
