I’ve been saying this but now it is more clear. I think Jason was behind Charles’s death without realizing it, or is the one really behind trying to kill Alison as a child. And he can’t live with the guilt. So many people have been saying Aria has dissociative personality disorder, but maybe those clues were put there on purpose… And maybe they deliberately showed Aria questioning Jason about his blackouts and asking her parents about it. Sometimes with this disorder, people have so much guilt that they BECOME the person that has died at their hands… But they don’t know the person has died. There can be times the person is BOTH personas at once in their mind, which could explain why we have seen scenes with “Charles” seemingly watching Jason. Jason was Jason AND Charles at that moment.

Sometimes people with this disorder SEE a physical being of their other persona and are shocked to learn that it wasn’t real. Almost like an imaginary friend, which Jason was led to believe Charles ALWAYS WAS. We have thought his father was evil for this, but maybe he’s protecting Jason from a terrible, scary truth. I’ve been saying I believed Jason unknowingly took on a part of Charles’s persona. I’ve seen the clues towards Aria having this disorder and I admit they are compelling. BUT we could be missing WHY we are seeing these clues. The easy clue is that Aria has the disorder. The more complex, more satisfying clue is that we are seeing these clues in Aria because Aria has CONNECTED WITH JASON ABOUT THIS VERY SUBJECT numerous times.

Aria was the first person Jason told about blacking out the night of Ali’s disappearance. Maybe he was CHARLES that night. Aria also questioned Jason on his blackouts when they were planning Ali’s memorial; she hounded him and he noticed.

Jason mentioned that he missed Aria’s pink hair. Perhaps as CHARLES, in the dollhouse, he forced her to dye her hair pink again. I strongly believe Jason complimenting her pink hair was a clue. Maybe the reason I am convinced Peter knows about Charles and is his father is because TECHNICALLY he is. He didn’t father the original Charles, but Jason is his son and if Jason is Charles as well, then this Charles persona is his son. This would explain his willingness to make a deal of secrecy with Jessica knowing the risks it presented to his daughters.

On the Halloween train (sorry I am not going in chronological order because I am so excited about this idea), although we believe wilden was behind Aria being put in that box and Garret’s death, maybe it was Jason and I have a more convincing reason than I have for wilden… And my reasoning for wilden was good so hear me out.

LIKE I SAID, I believe the Aria dissociative personality disorder clues are really clues to lead us to Jason. We heard the guy who had Aria in the box say “you lied to me!” And something about that he shouldn’t have agreed to this. We heard the guy refuse to continue pushing. I think Jason was Jason AND Charles that night. It makes SO much sense. Even if Wilden was involved in some sort of coverup on the infamous Labor Day yellow shirt fake death night, if Jason was behind this as Charles, he has a lot more to lose and a lot more to hide… And the Charles persona in him might be the only part of him who realizes this. And substance abuse only makes these conditions worse. This is what I think is happening, and like I said I have been researching this condition. Also it’s a lot more believable than the transgender theories and the twin theories and all of the complexities.

Another Jason/ Aria connection (since the dissociative personality disorders seem to resonate with her) is those photographs he had of Aria in his shed. He seemed sincere when he said that he thought Ali had taken them and maybe that IS what he believed… Because maybe HE took the pictures but he doesn’t remember it because he took them as Charles, and he’s unaware he has the disorder. It’s common for guilt ridden people with this disorder to be unaware they suffer from it.

Another time, Jenna insisted she got a text from Jason to come to his house and Jason denied sending it. But Charles could have sent it! This is right in our faces. Also, maybe Jason is sober but the Charles in him still drinks and does drugs, explaining instances like when Spencer had to cover for him driving drunk.

He could have gone to aunt carol’s after the elevator incident as Jason AND Charles, because Charles remembered being welcomed there.

Recently there was another incident with Aria AND photographs in which she believed A appeared in. She also got an A message during that same time REGARDING THE PINK HAIR. This could be another Jason/Charles clue and I strongly believe it’s the most satisfying explanation. This makes SO much sense that I’m up here typing it at 2 in the morning. This would be amazing!
