Weird Among Us Cosplay Lets You Be All 10 Players At Once An Instagram user is making "low-cost" Among Us cosplays using his own body parts to represent the crew members of the beloved multiplayer game. An Instagram user has found a bizarre way to cosplay multiple Among Us characters at the same time. The social deduction game has taken the internet by storm despite being largely ignored when it released in 2018. The game has reached such incredible amounts of popularity that the developer cancelled a sequel to focus up on developing the current game. Among Us, like the similarly explosive Fall Guys before it, owes much of its success to its adorable, minimally designed characters. The astronauts in Among Us are small, beanlike creatures, decked out like Skittles in bright primary colors. Like in Fall Guys, players can purchase cosmetic accessories for their astronaut, including hats, and even little pets that can follow them around. While players are mostly interested in Amo...
Among Us Theory There Is No Impostor
A fun Among Us fan theory suggests there aren't actually any Impostors - just a Crewmate who's gone mad and believes his murderous actions are heroic.
Another interesting Among Us fan theory to get player minds spinning has been presented, and this one's a bit controversial: it proposes there isn't actually an Impostor in the popular science fiction online multiplayer game at all.
This may seem a little preposterous, as the premise of the game involves players being randomly assigned as either a Crewmate or an Impostor. Crewmates work together and complete tasks within the map while Impostors go around trying to stealthily take out any unsuspecting Crewmate. Once a murder or any suspicious activity is discovered, players can call an Emergency Meeting to try and sleuth out the Impostor(s), who in turn try to deflect blame allowing for more opportunities to kill.
There's actually some evidence in support of this theory that there aren't really any Impostors. It was presented by Reddit user I_exist_YAYY and has sparked some fun discussion that gives both more evidence and also reasons why it should be debunked. Here is what the theory suggests so other Among Us fans can contribute to the conversation.
How There Can Be No Impostors In Among Us
The theory states that there aren't actually any Impostors, but just a horror story about an Impostor going around terrorizing Crewmates. One becomes so paranoid that he starts randomly killing everyone else in hopes of snuffing out the - unbeknownst to him - fictitious Impostor. This paranoid Crewmate believes he's actually saving everyone when, in fact, he is doing the opposite. The actions he believes to be heroic actually end up making him the villainous Impostor in the end.
Of course, there is a lot that can be picked apart from this, but it isn't too farfetched of an idea for someone to go mad in the void of space. Because the Among Us website does state the Impostor is a parasitic shapeshifter, many have used this to debunk the theory outright. Yet the fun part of theories is the clever discussion and ideas that follow, so arguably InnerSloth's introduction of a parasitic shapeshifter could be the exact horror story haunting this paranoid Crewmate.
Additionally, the kill timer - which in all fairness is purely implemented to make the game more fair for the Crewmates - could help support this claim, as an entity who means to harm the crew would likely do so during meetings and more frequently than the kill timer allows. In the same thread, more evidence is presented due to the Impostor not being able to preform tasks: he could just be too paranoid to actually complete them, as the only thing on his mind is trying to find (and kill) who he believes is the actual Impostor. A counter argument to I_exist_YAYY's theory involves the Sabotage feature. It wouldn't make sense for the Crewmate in question to impair the entire ship, as this would affect his own safety... or would it? By the time this paranoid insanity has taken over, one can't really explain the actions of a madman.
A fun and slightly more logical twist to this theory would be if the parasitic shapeshifters actually use a Crewmate as a host, bringing about the slow overtaking and eventual demise of said Crewmate - meaning that for a time that Crewmate is still partially himself but is descending into madness as his body and soul are being taken over. This would explain how he could vent, see in the dark, and do things the other Crewmates cannot do, as well as justifying the notion that he believes his murderous actions are heroic while staying true to the lore presented by InnerSloth. With all the hype Among Us is getting lately, who knows what kind of neat content - either fan-made or canon - could arise to add more depth to a game that seems so simple on the surface.
