#coraline theories

[neil-gaiman]

..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:

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 🙏🙏🙏

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 .

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

Would recommend

Very interesting

[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 !

[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

[sweet-and-insane]

Been getting back into the Coraline fandom and looking at all the theories. One theory states that one of that this ghost children is the daughter of Mr. Bobinsky, due to their matching long faces.

Presumably, the Other Father took the form of Mr. Bobinsky to lure her in. But what if it wasn't actually the Other Father we know at the time, and it was actually the Other Bobinsky?

Mr. Bobinsky was still living in the house when Coraline came along, so the Other Mother couldn't just get rid of him. He ether had to make a new Other Bobinsky, or in this case, make a new Other Father and give the Other Bobinsky a new role as an entertainer.

It's likely that his fatherly personality somewhat bleeds through his new entertainer personality. Unlike the Other Spink and Forcible, he actually talks to Coraline after the show and treats her rather lovingly, even kissing her hand.

When all of the Other Mother's creations start reverting to their original forms, Other Bobinsky still treats Coraline with kindness, while Other Spink and Forcible lash out at her violently.

It's likely that if he still had the mindset of the Other Father, he would have just given her the eye. But the Other Mother rewired his mind to that of a performer, though it seems she didn't completely remove that father part of his mind, leading to his personality being a mix of both. The father half still cares for Caroline, while the entertainer half wants to keep entertaining her. Doesn't help that his mind is unraveling along with his body and he's giving in to rat instincts.

Anyway, that's my theory to add to the pile of Coraline theories. Probably won't get noticed among them all, but whatevs.

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

Twitchy witchy girl!

[ID: A digital redraw of Coraline during her night journey to the well to get rid of the key to the other world. It is a messy semi-realistic portrait painted in rough and obvious brush strokes with some of the underlying sketch lines still visible. She has on her orange polka dotted pajamas, striped gloves, and a blue blanket draped protectively over her shoulders. She is visibly nervous, her hands drawn close to her body in caution and her eyebrows pushed up in worry with a small uncertain frown as she looks to the lower right. One side of her face is more lit up than the other. She is positioned on a faint purple and pink spiral background that is slightly obscured by a halo of white mist around her form, calling back to the spiral tunnel leading to the other world and the thick white mist that crept into the setting over the course of the movie. End ID]

Just got out of Coraline remastered 3D. It was pretty fun to re-experience it in theaters.

Anyway, now that the movie is back on my mind, my personal headcanon theory is that the reason Wybie’s grandma let Coralines family move into the apartments is because she thought the Beldam had starved to death and wasn’t a threat anymore.

I feel like the Beldam probably tried to lure in both twins, but only got Mrs. Lovats sister. That’s why she tells Wybie that her sister was “stolen” and makes sure he never goes into apartment; she had experience with the Beldam first hand, but didn’t fall victim to her/maybe the Beldam wasn’t as interested in her as her sister.

When grandma inherited the house she made sure no more kids could move in, locked the door, and hid the doll away so the Beldam couldn’t spy on anyone else anymore, leaving her to starve.

She probably thought it was safe for Coraline to move in since it had been decades at this point and surely the Beldam couldn’t be alive.

Leander and Ais Rivalry

They’re an on and off again acquaintances with benefits, but I wonder…

What if Leander doesn’t like Ais due to the fact he can’t exactly control him?

Hear me out.

Leander seems to have his hand dipped in every cookie jar he can within Eridia, or at least the entirety of Lowtown(same with Vere but mostly in high town). If we, the player, ever rebelled or tried leaving, or something, he’d immediately turn the entirety of Eridia on us.

But… how far does this influence go? This influence would definitely stop the moment we step out of Eridia, unless his followers are particularly devout and hellbent on getting us at the risk of being torn to shreds by Soulless

And with Ais, this is something Leander can’t really… control or kill, possibly only placate if the situation suits it. Not only that, he can easily turn the tide by turning Leander’s followers into his with the seaspring. An unknown variable that Leander doesn’t like.

But this is something I’ve noticed, comment if you have anything~
