The only piece of evidence I haven’t covered already that’s in that analysis is the one about leaving the kingdom and losing memory. My thoughts were that we haven’t recieved a lot of detail about the nature of that memory loss. Unless I’m missing something, it’s possible that upon reentering Hallownest bugs get their mind back, and it’s possible that the memory loss isn’t complete, so even if Zote did lose his memory he could still sort of remember a basic dad and mum were shit idea, and made up his own story around that idea. Your ideas about what happened to Zote are certainly cohesive, but at the moment I think mine are too, and it’s kind of impossible to tell with the current information we have. The reason I think the idea of Zote being a vessel works is because it makes little sense to me that Team Cherry would make another rubbish dad, dreary birthplace etc if it had nothing to do with the original story, but that’s kind of poor evidence and doesn’t prove anything.
