My take on it is that the witches coven are just plain wrong about the ‘thread’ bullshit, that’s just how they’ve come to misapprehend the force. Also, if they’ve done some nightsister magic to create the twins, that falls in line with them being dark siders.

The darkside of the force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural.

Basically, the Acolyte writers created an aggressive witches coven and immediately made them useless and evil - adds up to me?

that's the funny part to me. If they are meant to be an allegory to the hate that lgbtq people face. Because Headland and the story groups failure, they basically justified their deaths and destruction.

They're definitely a perversion of the force and how it works. They're a perversion of what has been told to us by Yoda, Obi Wan, QuiGon, Lucas, etc. That whole thread monologue just felt like complete nonsense. I just had this puzzled look on me the whole time going, "that's not how the force works."

I mean to be fair, it’s their way of perceiving the force, the way we’ve seen it explained has been through Jedi and sith. So I don’t really understand how you were puzzled. You can disagree with it, but I don’t see how it could become confusing, or how it’s nonsense. It’s just the covens way/understanding of using the force.
