Ok, so I saw this post on Tumblr, and I have something to say about it that I would like to share.

''so joys great grandmother was on the expedition. her brother, is willow’s great grandfather (from what i gathered) but willow knows the nursery rhyme, its not clear whether joy knew it or not because she never said it as she and willow both left the room when alfie/patricia/jerome realized they all knew the same rhyme but the ceremony worked which proves joy is a descendant and willow is not. how does that work? they just need one or the other i guess but it still doesnt explain why willow knew the rhyme unless her great grandparent was on the expedition as well''

also, willow wasnt possessed by an ancestor either time they spoke to them so why does she know the nursery rhyme



All good points. I really don't think it's that complecated though.



So lets say Joy's great grandma had a brother and said brother had a daughter. I'm sure Joy's great grandma's daughter aka Joy's grandma and the brother's daughter would hang out. My little cousin was my best friend when I was little. So I'm sure at one point she heard the song and the song still passed through generations. So that would mean Joy's great grandma was on the expedition team and her brother (or sister) wasn't but still knew the song which would explane why WIllow knows the song but doesn't play the decindant role. Am I making sense? No? Ok I'll shut up.
