Um, So, Weird Question, How Does Immunity Work In The Maze Runner Series? Specifically Is It Genetic?
Um, so, weird question, how does immunity work in the Maze Runner series? Specifically is it genetic?
Context: Almost all of the Gladers are immune. That's the whole point. Newt isn't. Why would he be there if he wasn't immune?
I think he's got something going on for the same reason that AMAB people who have biological full AFAB siblings with hemophilia, autism and the like have a much higher chance of having the same issue. This is because AMAB people typically only have one copy of the genes that their AFAB siblings have two of. Any imperfection given to them by the parents, even ones that are dormant in the parents, will almost certainly show up in their AMAB offspring. (Please note, my summary of genetics is WILDLY simplified.)
So, if Lizzie is immune, it is quite likely that Newt would have been.
Personally I think he was semi-immune, like how the effectiveness of your antibodies decreases after you get sick, but I just think there was no reason for WICKED to take him if he wasn't immune. I mean, they just murdered his parents in front of him, there's literally no reason for them to take him.
Anyways, rant over. Sorry if everything in this is wildly incorrect.

Somewhere along the way I ended up shipping Dionysus and Chiron (No this is not Percy Jackson, we do not stan Rick, he needs to take accountability) so here's that Dio: I WANT TO GIVE HIM THINGS
Dio: LIKE DICK AND SELF ESTEEM
Chiron: He knows I can hear him, right?
Anyways yeah if he's the only therapist on Mount Olympus, he's gotta be telepathic, and I love that for him XD
SCP-053, upon learning how old Cain is: Woah, did you ever meet the founding fathers of America?!
Cain, a black gay man: *Internally* Take a wild fucking guess
Cain, still a black gay man: *Externally* Aw, I'm sorry dear, I never managed to.
Sophone, Kleia, Pelagos, Nikolon (left to right). I'm right.
Have you read that one episode of Lore Olympus where he becomes Persephone's therapist?

(I don't like LO very much, it has some... strange things in it, but hot DAMN I learned some things about myself when I saw Rachel's version of Chiron...)

Thenios: Before we go, make sure all small items are secured.
Nikolon: *Glances at Pelagos, holding back laughter*
Pelagos: What.
Nikolon: Do you feel safe?
Pelagos: I WILL END YOU.
