OKAY. I FINALLY HAVE ANOTHER ESSAY RANT THING BUT ITS NOT IHNMAIMS SADLY.

I find it so interesting how REAL the desperation in the delivery of other mother saying "DONT LEAVE ME, ILL DIE WITHOUT YOU." is,, of course within the nature of the beldams character you'd find yourself questioning the honesty of this statement.

i mean duh we're not the 11 year old hurriedly rushing away from an entity we'd briefly been attached to and found solace in. from the start, other mother seems eerie and just. OFF. but i find it endlessly interesting how progressively desperate other mother is for coraline to stay with her. its incredibly vague what other mother does to the previous children in the movie. most people interpret it as her LITERALLY eating the children or eating their souls. but it seems like there is genuine attachment there, although incredibly unhealthy. its there.

while talking with the cat, not only does it comment that it thinks the mother simply wants something to love other than herself. but i noticed coraline literally walks away from the abhorrent situation she's left to deal with, only to end up right back where she started. which I think is a representation of how unhealthy coralines escapism through this world is. she is being neglected of attention and rather than branch out, she retreats to a world that seems much more welcoming. but is just as unhealthy as the last. walk around the world.

this is coralines world. at this age, her house, her parents, her. attachments. thats her whole world, and even as she detaches from it. humans are creatures of habit, so she ends up in practically the same place. and personally i think that says a lot about the other mother as well. confined to the pink palace apartments, she seeks out children who are unhappy and gives them everything they want in exchange for them blinding themselves to their pasts and being entirely dependent on her. and with each child, they sew the buttons and allow her to literally love them to death. its all she has, she exists for this soul purpose. or at least that's what shes convinced herself. the gap she has between reality, tragedy and triumph, to carve something she believes as perfection to appease others is all she is.

and as each other child shattered beneath the weight of her affection and bent to her charm, coraline falters. she refuses. she DARES to believe shed rather go back to her real parents, to realize shes not too far gone. its unpredictable, it breaks that mask of delusion SHES blinded herself. BLINDED OTHERS with. and brings her back to the cold reality that is the blank void she's been confined to. between reality. where she can only create half baked imitations of what's around her and pretend that what shes made is better. but who else is there for her to impress? to help. to play with.

just like with coraline, now that shes moved and lost her friends. her parents are all she has left to cling to.

BUT IDK thats just my interpretation

..Oh good lord a video just popped up in my sidebar entitled The TRAGIC and UNTOLD Love Story in Coraline - it has a picture of the other mother and the cat with a broken heart emoji between them and the words "they were married" underneath. X_X I just....Really??

Are we missing some serious subtext here?

Everything you have ever wondered about Coraline theories is answered here:

[victoria-coren-mitchell-stan]

Rewatching Coraline and here are some things I've noticed so far:

-When Coraline goes to visit Mrs. Spink and Mrs. Forcable, the card on the top of the pile on the table is the five of hearts, but then the pot of candy is removed, it's a four of spades.

-The vehicle The Other Father is driving is a praying mantis, (pretty sure) which is ironic, considering he is killed by his 'wife' in technicality

-The 'Soul' Ring is shown during the performance scene when Coraline is picked up from the crowd

-The Other Mother's red outfit can be slightly seen under her normal clothes when asking Coraline to sew in buttons, possibly representing how her true colours are showing

-Coraline's Other Father has different glasses to her actual father

-The Mouse circus has a 'R' on the 'walls'

-The set of draws shown mere seconds into the film is the bug that blocks Coraline from the Door

-By the mirror where Coraline gets trapped, there is a painting of (I think) her house

-The mask Wybie uses when he pulls Coraline out of the mirror is the chicken oven glove used earlier by the Other Mother

-Coraline naturally has brown hair, shown in a photo after she realises her parents are missing and visits Spink & Forcible

-When Coraline's parents are shown in the mirror, her father is wearing glasses, even though Coraline used his glasses when making her fake parents. They are different types of glasses, though, so it's possible he just has two pairs.

-when Coraline goes through the portal, it's no longer blue and purple, possibly showing how the illusion has been broken.

-The wallpaper in the normal world is vaguely floral, whereas in the other world, it's of beetles.

-When the other mother's creations are destroyed, a sand like substance spills out. It could be a reference to how dry clay crumbles when broken as a link to the book

-Before the whole plot, the snow globe had two figures by the fountain, but when they 'break out' the figures are gone

-The thing holding up Coraline's picture of her friends is a preying mantis

-Coraline's trousers are patched up with the fabric from the star shirt she got from the Other Mother

-The well is designed to look a lot like the tunnel portal

-Coraline has a pinkish mark around her throat when they throw the Other Mother's hand into the well, but it is gone in the next scene, which is funny because a lot of characters have some kind of red 'ring' on them, like the dog's red collars and a bunch of other examples

That is all! I am fully aware that I'm probably wrong with multiple observations and that is okay :)

Okay but can we talk about how all of the Coraline theories? They are so interesting to me like the theory Coraline may not actually be back in her actual realm? If you have any theories or anything related to Coraline feel free to share 🙏🙏🙏

WARNING:CONTAINS SPOILERS

At the end of the film Coraline and Wybie threw the Beldam's hand and the key in the dwell thinking it was a good idea.

BUT HEAR ME OUT FOR A SECOND

When Wybie and Coraline first met and Wybie threw a rock in the dwell said "...so deep, if you fell to the bottom and looked up you'd see a sky full of stars in the middle of the day" and when Coraline went to the Other world, no matter the time of the day in the Real world, in the Other world it was always night. So technically the dwell is another portal to the Other world and when they threw the key in it they gave it to the Beldam.

Things I’ve noticed while watching coralline for the 1000th time

im gonna reboot and finish this tomorrow since i only got about halfway through the movie tonight  :)

1- the cat always responds non-verbally to what's going on in the 'real world'

2- there is a mushroom circle about the old well. mushroom circles are often associated with the fair folk, in past times, the Fae were thought to kidnap children from their homes

3- the seeds that coraline puts in the scene where it's raining outside are all amped up and used to lure her in, in the other world

4- while coraline is exploring the house there is a newly opened neck brace in her parents room

5- again while she's exploring, the only snow globe that's snowing is the one that her parents are later trapped in

6- in the room that has the tiny door, the wallpaper looks like it has a print resembling bugs/beetles

7- the way the two other parents harmonize when they say “see you soon” sounds oddly creepy(im sure it’s supposed to i just hadn't noticed it before)

8- the writing on the outside of the boxes outside of bobinsky’s door are in Russian 

9- bobinsky’s name is Bob-In-Sky, and hes also the person highest in the pink palace, as well as having a hot air ballon in the circus mice performance 

10- the pathway to the other mother’s house seems to get longer every time coralline goes through it

11- the outside in the other mother’s world looks more like a stage set than any other part of the movie

12- when coralline asks the other whybie if it hurt when the other mother took away his voice, he cuts her off and directs her towards the ballon in the sky

13- while coralline and her mom are out buying clothes they are by a store that has a sign reading “i (heart) mulch”, her mother usually drinking her coffee out of a mug reading the same thing and another mug, being seen on the drying rack in the kitchen 

14- her mother says “wont be long” and then proceeds to get kidnapped by a giant spider woman

15- there are three of those shadow side-view portraits in the background in the dining room in the other world, and they look suspiciously like the lost children

16- the curtains in the room with the little door chance to resemble beetles during the scene where the other mother gets mad at her and throws her in the mirror right after

17- there are spider webs e v e r y w h e r e .

okay i saw this theory and i love it okay??:

so it goes that in the movie coraline, the people from the real world call her caroline so the other mother doesn’t hear them bc she only recognizes the name coraline

[yourgaydisapointmentofason]

Coraline theory videos have become enjoyable to listen to while I draw

Would recommend

Very interesting

[punkeropercyjackson]

I wanna believe Ghostflower monoshippers when they say they don't ship it just because it's a black guy and a white girl but they keep comparing it to every black guy x white girl ship even when the characters aren't Miles-coded and Gwen-coded at all and are literally just a black guy and a white girl so-

[lemoneyshipz]

okay who wanna hear about my theory that this cat from Coraline is actually Dream of the Endless??

so basically what i think is that the Beldam was actually one of Dream’s nightmares that went rouge, and Dream was imprisoned before he can go pursue her.

So like how Gault made the little dream dimension for Jed the Beldam crafted her own little dreamscape at the Pink Palace, -and uses that dreamscape to lure and feast on children’s soul to feed her own powers.

By the time Dream found her she has already grew into something more than a dream from the souls of the children she consumed, and bc she is no longer a dream, Dream cannot directly intervene, but at same time he cannot allow more children to fall pray to her, so he set out to guard and guide the Beldam’s next target, Coraline.

And it worked, he was very impressed by the bravery and cleverness of the girl, even if she did pick him up and threw him.

In all seriousness . credits to : @kmwilllose for this . - GENERATION LOSS THEORY . So I've seen two images that look .. similar .

niki . - GENLOSS

coraline . - Coraline -- I might have some suspicions about these two . In genloss , the masks cause mind control . which is when you're in one world , but you're in another as well . In coraline , the stitched doll eyes cause to sew ones two worlds . And as you can see in the pictures , coraline and niki . Both look like they're crawling through the same tube .

this is only something I've seen just now , and thought about for some time . It's for the funny bit you know :)

BUT THAT'S JUST A THEORY ! . A FILM THEORYY !

[churchandmouse]

coraline theory

#TheGreatImpersonator reminds me of Coraline in the sense that C wants everything she “doesn’t have” (fame/notoriety) & searches for it somewhere else (other world), finds it’s not as it seems, w/ the Eye finds what she wants

“hidden in plain sight”

“it’s good for lost things”

-------

------------

The Beldam being the consequences of decisions naively made. I’ll fight harder bc my pride/ego are too high to lose Modesty was never on the table; I am deserving whether I earned it or not #EGO #h5

Getting in way too over your head but don’t realize it until you’re neck deep

------

[wormturned]

Ok I watch Coraline recently bc of course it's October and I realized -

Wybie said he took the doll from his Grandma, which implies that the Beldam modified it to look like Coraline, and then left it in his house? I feel like it's generally assumed that the Beldam has power over the Pink Palace, but the thing with the doll and Wybie makes me wonder if she has power outside the house?? And how much?? How did the doll even get there?

Because we see her making it at the beginning of the movie but then it's in Wybie's house?

I'm sure somebody's caught this and there's a theory on this somewhere but I'm so curious
