WOA-kay that was an ending.
and im still unsure if this is a prequel, but it seems likely. And thats a decent majority of my questions answered. Though there are many questions I now have.
First off, distorted glitchy Six is different to the version of Six we save in the end, thats fine. Explains the betrayal, her mind was quite literally split in two. Wouldnt be surprised if she didnt recognise ya without your hat / paper bag or whatever you had equipped.
And Mono ends up BECOMING the Thin Man. Does this imply a time loop? Because escaped memoryless Six has to get captured, put on the Maw, escape from her cage, and set up a bed in a crevice where she cant be found for the first game to make sense - assuming its a prequel. The DLCs for LN1 may have some answers, ill watch a playthrough later. And does Mono becoming the thin man imply that any child in this world will become, as the first game puts it, 'distorted versions of adults'? Or is this a one-time event?
What exactly is the fleshy creature with so many eyes? Eye memorabilia is all over these games. I havent seen this many eyes since Gravity Falls! ....a connection between the two could make sense, I suppose.
But i'll theorise later.
And why TVs? The adults are attracted to TVs even when all thats on screen is static. Both Mono AND Six can travel through TVs (as seen by the ending).
And my final question is why there are random adult sized clothes scattered around several sections in the early game? It implies some form of apocalyptic event and is too deliberate to be summed up as part of Mono (or Six's) nightmare. Is the entire game just a nightmare? Cuz it seems very complex for such a thing. I dunno about you but my nightmares rarely ever have a storyline. It could be some form of distorted fever dream reality, but thats JUST A THEORY!
just made it to little nightmares 2 and HOL UP
DID THOSE TWO CHILDREN JUST SHOOT TO KILL THE GUY WITH THE RIFLE.
yep thats the part im up to, where 2 children shoot a guy with a rifle. cant wait for whats next. cuz i doubt that was the whole game

nother thought that has injected itself in my brain because i no longer have free will: I find it interesting how Kai in dragons rising seems to always fill in during silence. When sneaking into Imperium w/ Wyldfyre and the gang? He doesn't make Wyldfyre go quiet but instead just tones her volume down during the whole dun dun da dun scene. When going back to the Cragling Village? Narrating to himself. At the monastery by himself? Again narrating to himself and talking to the computer like its his only friend there. Hell even with Wu's ghost spirit. Hes just excited to be famous among ghost because its talking back to him! But in the nightmare cave. He doesn't speak after the whole thing. Only speaking once they leave the cave. Relaying on Nya's voice rather than his own. And when he and Nya are walking in season 3 he makes popping noises during the silence like hes trying to fill in for it. Are some of these instances just me being crazy and grabbing onto the smallest things? Probably! But what if man. What if he can't stand the silence anymore because of how little communication he really had in the land of monsters?

That weird pink gunk everywhere? Extending from the walls, pipes and under doorways? That is Sybil, what's left of her.
Tumblr media
I kept thinking how strange it was that the first floor was so distorted despite inorganic stuff not mutating unless its fused to a person. We see the same kind of space distortions happen with the landlord.
I also think that's why there's no windows in any of the first floor rooms, she's subconsciously trying to protect people. She bent time and space to make it impossible for anyone to have an exterior wall, which I think is sweet even if she was too late.

PLEASE ZA WE NEED TO SEE EMMA ALL GROWN UP AS A FULLY FLESHED DETECTIVE AAAA
Also the map they gave us is juicy as hell cause What the hell u mean Quasartico is like, almost exactly where Lysandre café was, y'know, the place that turned Emma into a sleeper agent criminal-
All I'm saying is that I don't think Emma will be very convinced of Quasarticos motives (personally I don't think they're gonna be evil, I think they're gonna be stupid using a bunch of tech they don't understand)

So. Others have noted that 'aiming for the boss's gut" could mean 'filling the boss's gut', and "putting that dead meat in its place" could mean just like. Cooking steak or something. And that perhaps ENA is just misunderstanding this and thinking she'll have to kill the boss because of her prior history with violence, and that Froggy only worded it that way because that kind of wording is more familiar to her and he was imitating her ('as you say in that wacky language of yours')
So, from this, we can deduce that ENA Dream BBQ is possibly just a story about a woman experiencing microagressions and PTSD while trying to deliver a doordash order. And that's just insanely funny to me lol

Do y'all think wiress actually just did nothing for her entire game?? They say she sat in the blindspot of opponent's and cameras the entire game- I read that like she probably also was trying to break the arena but the capital couldn't show it or something

do NOT shoot me I'm just the messenger my brain is the one putting these pieces together but like okay check my math first
buck sobbing behind the firetruck bts -> I don't think it's eddie because it sounds like eddie comes back because of whatever happens in 815 but he's not coming back without christopher and I don't think he'd bring christopher to whatever biological warfare is happening so he'd only come back AFTER. it's probably not the rest of the 118 cause they're the ones in danger first and why would they be behind the firetruck they're probably in quarantine somewhere. also, he wouldn't be sobbing over them when he first finds out either cause he'd jump into finding a way to save them. the only other person we know to be involved with the rescue is tommy.
with oliver using the word "devastating" to describe the rest of buck's arc for the season, it would make sense for whatever happens to have the most personal impact on buck and for it to be a death, because with NDEs theyre usually not making the emotional effects of that into a whole arc. if tommy dies saving buck or the 118, that would absolutely be devastating to buck right now, especially with how they left things on a bad note. it would also be the jumpstart eddie and chris need to come back to LA so they can be there for buck, since every one else has their own core family unit.
I don't think I even have to talk about the possibilities of tommy telling buck to stop wasting time by denying his feelings for eddie. that's kinda implied.

why does it feel like sometimes Kazuma's themes could just be from the perpective of Ryunosuke? which is interesting considering the line Kazuma says, "i'm not the one who's changed Ryunosuke, you have."
Kazuma's first theme sounds like a downright heroic folk hero, someone you look up too and can depend on. the meter is focused and stays on point, every individual instrument waits for their perfect intervals. the bass instrument keeping them all steady. then an arpeggio comes and the original melody instrument stands aside and only plays as an accompaniment before coming back as lead with fanfare playing as it leads back to the main melody. there are a lot of japanese instruments in the song which go away in later themes. there is a kagura-suzu which is japanese bell! i really like it's sound!!!
in Nocturne, instruments are overlapping more but are quieter for the main melody which i think is the koto. it's no longer so steady, the bass is gone and i interpret the bass with his life/passion. no longer feels like a force always by your side more like a tun playing in your mind. the determined and steadfast arpeggio is gone and never comes back. and there are these contemplative plucking violin(?) strings in the middle section. they give me of the feeling of reminiscing. i feel like the last part before it repeats is Ryunosuke remembering all of the good times they've had, and then once it repeats that's him remembering he's gone. in this theme, all the other instruments take a real backseat to the main one. it's Ryunosuke remembering the best part of him, his main melody so to speak. the Kagura-suzu is still here.
In His Glorious Return, it starts out like a very triumphant and yearned for version of samurai on a mission (if that makes sense) until the brass section rests and it becomes almost exactly like Nocturne, something i find extremely interesting because of that part where susato was talking to kazuma in the departed soul scene, ryunosuke was looking towards the ground lost in thought around the same time this part plays i believe? it's almost as if he's remembering all the times he's grieved him.... thus the nocturne version playing.
the Kagura-suzu is now gone :( it is now "replaced" with snapping.
A prosecutor reborn, oh my god a prosecutor reborn, if it didn't have the same melody i almost wouldn't be able to tell it's the same character. most of his original japanese instruments are gone, and have been replaced with ones that are more associated with britain's characters. almost as if he seems more alien to Ryunouske. he borrows several instrument's from barok van ziek's theme, like the violin, and harpsichord. and yeah, the harpsichord absolutely haunts this song. it's EVERYWHERE. someone told me once the harpsichord represents the professor, so that's FUN. it's not like the professor absolutely haunts this guys life (,:'D)
i think the only thing he keeps is his bass which is used way more sparingly than it is in SOAM. and interestingly, the kagura-suzu is back, but it is only used like twice i think. (☹️), its still kinda replaced with the snapping
The opening almost sounds like an unveiling, as if seeing the man for first time and he's utterly terrifying. and then it jumps straight into this unfamiliar melody not heard anywhere in any of his other themes. it's reminiscent of barok van ziek's theme. ...because Ryunosuke barely recognizes him. he's nothing like who he's known... right? and it just keeps getting grander and grander! it then comes back to this more familiar part kazuma's iconic motif, but the notes are now in legato, and the melody's been changed by one note, and though it's only one it is NOTICEABLE. it distracts from how everything else about that section was so familiar. (when i first heard it i was actually taken aback)
now for the part that i'm crazy about
THE MIDDLE SECTION HAS THE GATEWAY TO THE TRUTH
THEME WHICH IS THE SAMD MOTIF THAT PLAYS IN THE PROFESSOR THEME! IF YOU LISTEN TO THEM BACK TO BACK YOU'LL HEAR THEM! Kazuma could've BEEN the professor if he didn't turn his heel and left! if he had killed gregson in pursuit of his mission, he could've become that! and the fact that motif is in this song is so important in showing that. just WOW. this song is Ryunouske finally seeing a different side to kazuma. him in his grief and rage, him at his 'worst' it's quite unlike how ryunosuke sees him in nocturne where it seems he is remembering only the absolute best parts about him like it's so easy to do when in grief.
listening to his themes with all that in mind has been a tear-filled hell for me, but it's always how i've thought of it basically.

I think having a boss battle theme that’s fucking awesome might be 80% of what makes the newest videogame guy of the month/year irresistible to people

So I have theory about Luo Binghe’s fake jade pendant.
(Major spoilers if you haven’t finished the book btw)
I was just reading a fic and author pointed out something about Luo Binghe’s pendant and how it’s a metaphor for Shen Yuan.
Looking back at the book, there are a lot of parallels between Shen Yuan and the necklace.
The pendant is a counterfeit jade carving of the god Guanyin.
Shen Yuan is a counterfeit of Shen Qingqiu, a powerful Peak Lord who dresses in jade colored robes.
Guanyin is noted to be associated with compassion, and Shen Yuan changes the entire fate of the world of Proud Immortal Demon Way by being compassionate.
Luo Bingmei ends his story with his one fake jade pendant while the extras specifically note that Luo Bingge has several real jade necklaces in his possession. Those necklaces are even called out to be fine grade and best money can buy.
Obviously the real jades are a metaphor for Bingge’s harem of peerlessly beautiful women while the fake jade, which has infinitely more value to him, represents Shen Yuan, aka Luo Bingmei’s one and only true love.
However I think there’s more to it than that.
If you track the pendant throughout the book, you’ll notice that Luo Binghe is only ever in possession of the pendant when Shen Yuan isn’t there. In fact, he actually loses the pendant shortly after Shen Yuan transmigrates into Shen Qingqiu. For the rest of the book, the pendant is in Shen Yuan’s possession, only returning to Luo Binghe at the climax.
But here’s the thing that’s strange about that scene: for whatever reason the System could not load the pendant when SQQ tried to summon it. At no other point in the book has the System have a problem loading things in.
So why is it when it does load in, it’s right as Shen Yuan dies for the third time?
My theory is that Shen Yuan is the pendant itself.
Now obviously Shen Yuan comes back and Binghe still has the pendant, but in the last couple scenes of the book, Shen Yuan is always right by Luo Binghe’s side.
Now I know that Shen Yuan was an actual person before dying and becoming Shen Qingqiu, so therefore he isn’t the necklace given human form. So how can Shen Yuan and the pendant be one and the same?
Well let’s go back to the aforementioned climax scene where the System cannot physically summon the pendant until Shen Yuan dies.
Seeing as how the System is essentially an AI and/or a computer program, this kind of issue reminds me of how a computer cannot open a file if another of the exact same file is already running.
I think, that when inserting Shen Yuan into PIDW, the System needed a way to tie his soul into its program and Shen Yuan’s fate to the protagonist. The System needed a physical entity to tie him down so it linked his code/soul to the fake jade pendant. That’s why Luo Binghe loses the pendant so soon after Shen Yuan transmigrates and why the System couldn’t load it in until Shen Yuan’s soul left his body because they’re part of the same file.
This is also evidenced by how when Shen Yuan dies the second time, out of all of his items, only the Jade pendant is kept in his inventory when he wakes up in the Sun and Dew Mushroom body.
Not to mention that Shen Yuan and the pendant have the same effect on Luo Binghe! The pendant has the ability to essientially shock Luo Binghe out of a qi deviation, but is only a one time use. But during Luo Binghe’s first qi deviation, Shen Yuan is able to do the exact same thing but doing so kills him. The pendant reduces Luo Binghe’s anger, and Shen Yuan is the only person in the world Luo Binghe will ever be soft and submittable to.
Tl’dr; The System tied Shen Yuan’s soul to the fake Guanyin pendant.

what intrigues me abt caines dynamic w the rest of the cast is the way that none of them seem to understand why he is the way he is. like not in the comedic sense but how they dont seem to have a clear concept of his motivations or anything of that sort
we havent seen toooo much of it. but we have seen how pomni, zooble, jax, ragatha, and gangle view him and its so fascinating
pomni is like. she doesnt understand what hes doing but seems to view his actions as malicious in some way. i dont think she sees him as a 'mean' person but with how she says she thinks he wants her to suffer its very illuminating of how she sees him as someone who wants all of them to hurt. i dont think she knows why he would, but its the only conclusion shes got. it also speaks to her distrusting nature that upon being hurt by him her first thought is that its an intentional decision to harm her, and unfortunately for caine she hasnt actually been given much of a reason to think he feels otherwise. i dont know how she thinks caine feels about them but its clear to me how she views his goals and hobbies for lack of a better term
zooble doesnt trust him. they find him to be annoying but more significant is that they KNOW he likes them all. it adds an interesting tone to how they see him, that they specifically say that whats 'holding caine back' is that he 'likes [them]', which on one hand is them interpretting caines actions as being done from a place of liking the players, and that his actions are coming from a place of NOT hurting them, because he likes them (its interesting to note that they have participated in less adventures, so its unclear how much they know abt caines adventures firsthand). but on the other hand is implying that they think caines holding himself back at all. that there IS a desire or a capability to be cruel that theyre wary of. theyve also seen caine at his most vulnerable (in the show itself at least) and their comment, 'whose therapy session is this again?' implies theyre at least aware that this is caine having his own problems, though i dont think theyre comfortable safety-wise with how these problems affect them and the others. them asking caine 'why did you think i would like that?' speaks to the idea that they do think hes genuinely trying to appeal to the players, but they seem to find his lack of understanding of the players frustrating and unsafe for all of them
jax i think is pretty vague since most of his lines to caine are brief, and the most telling line he has abt caine is the only one we have. but he seems neutral on caine as a whole. caine is just a guy who makes things for them. he tries to entertain them and thats all jax really seems to be concerned with- whether his 'its not in his nature' line is reflective of him genuinely Believing that is smth i see debated often but i think no matter what, it conveys that jax Generally sees caine as someone who isnt malicious. hes not trying to hurt them, and whether or not he thinks caine is capable of hurting them is whats more vague. either way, jax doesnt seem to like or dislike caine
ragatha has very mimimal interactions with caine and not many lines about him, but i think her line in the pilot, 'thats just one of caines little adventures. theyre just something fun to do to, yknow, prevent us from going insane,' is extremely telling of how she sees caine. of all of them, she seems to have the most positive view of caine, since she interprets his actions as an active attempt to stave off abstraction in the players. whether or not she thinks caine is acting from a place of wanting to stop disruptions or if he wants to ensure the players arent doing as unwell as they could IS up for debate though. the way she talks about him in the pilot in general reads like she has some level of trust in him, but it seems like a surface level trust in him at the worst- she knows hes not malicious and knows he wants to help. she knows he can help her when shes jumbled. but its not clear if she Likes him. she seems to enjoy the adventures though (which, ill keep it brief so i dont derail this, but it honestly reads like a deliberate parallel writing-wise that the two of them both seem fond of distractions as an acceptable solution to a bad situation- if her assessment of Why he makes the adventures is anything to go by)
gangle is harder to read on this front, as she has way less lines about him, though she does have multiple notable interactions with him in ep 4, in the way of her seeming genuinely enthusiastic about his adventure (it doesnt seem completely directed at him, but she seems genuinely a bit happy about his praise of her leadership skills). when she calls him it doesnt convey TOO much i dont think but the way she talks to him and requests he make a punishment could imply she doesnt think hed normally make one, but also that hes not opposed to it, which is confusing in what it means about how she sees him but it feels important. her interaction with him at the end of the episode also doesnt convey much in this way (i feel like caine is not the main focus of most of that scene- which works for the scene and is good writing wise bc the scenes important for gangles writing of her own problems, but in terms of breaking down this idea it means im not sure this scene conveys much about how she sees him)
and then. i didnt mention kinger at the beginning specifically bc i dont think we have... almost any indicators of how he sees caine. he tells caine abt kaufmo in ep 1, suggests caine could find pomni in ep 2, doesnt address the thing pomni says abt caine in ep 3, and even his suggestion in ep 4 to sit out the adventure doesnt convey almost anything. the only throughline is that kinger sees caine as someone who can help them if they ask, but it doesnt convey any thoughts on what he thinks caines motivations are or his thoughts on caines actions. which frankly reads like a deliberate choice when kinger should be the one with the most history with caine
this post is long but i just am bery intrigued by this. i thinka ll the character dynamics are so deeply fascinating but with caine being the closest the show has to an antagonist (which of course is a loaded statement but i mean it in the writing sense and not in the 'antagonist is evil' way) it means that the way the characters see him holds a lot of weight. it conveys a lot abt them all with how they interpret the person that has (at least on the surface) the most control over the situation
