I like think David and Rowan met briefly as kids. Just the once on some kind of bring your kid to work day. They only made eye contact. Brief enough they don't remember it when they meet again later but... Idk I just think its a nice thought.
#Thinking a bit about TOU again...#tou#two of us!David#two of us!Red#dhmis#I cant remember if I mentioned this but Roy got parts for sets from Peterson's and Friends and Sons so they sorta worked together#Mr petersons like an independent contractor who came and went#Personal hc of mine is that if Roy and Lesley hadn't died when they did they woulda eventually set up an playdate between David and Rowan#And so they would have gotten to hang out and play as kids#They only would have ended up as casual friends tho unfortunately#David only bonded with Rowan as hard as he did cause of trauma and circumstances lol#me when I make it bittersweet teehee teehee#You get the life you always wanted but never bond with the person who meant everything to you

im so sorry i love the dhmis fandom but some peeps don’t understand the characters (or even the show in general) on even the most basic level and it hurts me. (cough cough… white man youtube theorists cough…) for example, every time someone is like “OMG RED GUY KNOWS EVERHTHING AND HES SO SMART AND HES BREAKING OUT OMG HES CRACKED THE MATRIX 🤯🤯🤯🤯” i want to explode. HE IS FUCKING STUPID!!!!! THAT OLD MAN DOESNT KNOW A GOD DAMN THING!!!!!!! THAT HOMO COULD BARELY READ THE PETERSONS AND SONS NAME OFF THE WALL PLEASE BE SO FOR REAL!!!! the main point of the show is that none of them know whats going on or why. sometimes they might get little realizations or memories but (at least as of right now) their dumbasses havent ACTUALLY realized a single thing, at least that they havent forgotten. and this isnt even just about just that, people have always mischaracterized all of the characters since forever! and before anyone says “well the show is meant to be different for everyone and subjective-“ youre right! the show itself and the way the world works is subjective. but while the world/story/message may be up to interpretation the main three characters themselves ARE NOT!!!! they are VERY fleshed out characters. you can find EVERYTHING on them. we know their fears, their allergies, their wants, their hatreds, their desires and the series dives heavily into their insecurities!! these characters are the only non-debatable things about this whole series and yet people ignore that small bit of canon in favor of making the show MORE difficult!!!!!!!!! WHYY!!!!! I JUST DONT UNDERSTAND IM GOING TO SOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!! STOP MAKING SHIT UP ABOUT THEM PLEASE THEYRE JUST LITTLE GUYS PLEASE DEAR GOD!!!!!!!!!! “oh but what if yellow guy is just PRETENDING to be stupid-“ what if red guy could shoot lasers out of his god damn eyes!?! THATS WHAT YOU FUCKING SOUND LIKE!!!! SHUT UP SHUT THE FUCK UP SHUT UP!!!!!! I DONT KNOW IF DUCK WON THAT TOURNAMENT AND I DONT KNOW HOW OLD HE IS BUT I KNOW FOR A FACT HE ISNT THE FUCKING DANGANRONPA MASTERMIND OR WHATEVER YOU CALL IT. THE FUCKING MAN BEHIND THE SLAUGHTER I DONT FUCKING KNOW. HIS ASS IS NOT SMART ENOUGH TO TAKE ON LESLEYS JOB. STOP GIVING THE MAIN THREE THIS MUCH CREDIT I PROMISE YOU THEYRE ACTUALLY CONFUSED AS FUCK THEYRE NOT PRETENDING !!!! im so tired can we please make a rule where cishet white dudes stay on their podcasts and stop trying to analyze this series.

Remember how Red was turned into Mr. Peterson of Peterson's and SONS and Friends Bits and Parts Limited? Where's the sons? Show me the sons! Dad Red confirmed?
The jobs episode is SUCH an interesting episode, not only because it was the first look back at the trio that we'd gotten since the cancelation of the original show (rip Wakey Wakey), but also because it was establishing the ideological themes for the channel 4 series!
Jobs has hands down my favorite message of all the new episodes, and I would say it's the one that most clearly projects that 'this is the twisted version of a children's educational puppet show' vibe that Becky and Joe are going for. Where shows like Sesame Street or Under the Umbrella Tree would paint these wonderful pictures of a life filled with endless possibility and the chance to get the job of your dreams, DHMIS tackles this topic in the more realistic way.
Being pigeonholed into a low-paying factory job with high-risk of personal injury, repetitive work, lack of personal fulfillment, and the eventual realization that you wasted the best years of your life at a company that would fire you the instant you've become an inconvenience to their bottom line (say: being old, or getting injured, or y'know, both) is the more likely outcome for children that watch these puppet shows, especially considering Sesame Street was created to connect with low income, inner city children. The system is rigged against kids like this from the moment they're born, and it's implemented and carried out generation over generation by those who either stumbled into wealth through unethical means or inherited it from relatives that built it through the exploitation of the working class.
So, where does Red morphing into Mr. Peterson fit into my mini-essay on the harsh realties of capitalism? I'm very happy you asked!!!
Red's character arc in the Jobs episode (or episode arc, whichever you prefer) is a representation of the people in life that are allowed to fail upward. Red doesn't have any specific skills that set him apart from Duck or Yellow that would constitute him being the best person to be 'the boss' (unless you count him looking like a Smart Boy in his outfit) Red quiet literally wanders into the head office and is given a job he's unqualified for, no questions asked. He's surrounded by yes-men in the form of the Fax Machine and the Bin who both idealize him due to his high position in the company and want to get close to him to ensure their standing potentially being uplifted by proximity to Red (ie: the Fax Machine's constant flirting)
Red himself is incredibly incredibly useless in his position (literally the only thing he does is tell people he doesn't work at the company over the phone, pee without washing his hands, and make empty speeches when needed) but he's able to keep that position for FORTY YEARS simply because he was in the right place at the right time. I believe the way he eventually adopts the moniker of "Mr. Peterson" is an example of how these big companies pretend to be 'family owned and operated' in an attempt to seem more relatable (such as Walmart and Disney, which are two megacorporation that operate under the family name of their founder) but in reality they're run by whichever CEO managed to fall into the position. There is no 'Mr. Peterson' or his 'Sons' or their 'Friends'. There's only a boss that managed to trip into a high-paying position and now parades around wearing the company name on his lanyard, factory employees that are overworked and exploited, staff members that leech off the higherups, or workers that attempt to break free from this mold and are punished by society for attempting to find a better life.
(Also my joke answer is Yellow is his son and Red is a DILF because of this.)

Let's talk about DHMIS shall we??? Cuz I have massive brainrot. And theres two things I wanna talk about to start us off.
1.
So far I've noticed a lot of agreement with the idea that yellow guy is David, Leslie's son who died by getting hit by a car. And I agree with this for the most part. The only part I dont agree with is that yellow guy literally IS David.
The series has a common theme of replacing someone but WRONG. red and mr Peterson, duck and the blob, the family and their mother, warren and yellows friends, red and mr transport. Even in the last episode theres mention of drowning a hamster to replace it with an electric one that never dies (which I think is a cheeky nod to yellow).
Leslie is projecting her dead son onto yellow, but as she says herself "you're not my real son". We can even see that when yellow goes inside of his own head, his model no longer has the D on his overalls. It's hard to speculate WHY Leslie does this as we havent had enough time with her (maybe yellow died the same way david did, or maybe its simply because hes her favorite puppet).
Either way I disagree with the concept of Leslie trying to give her son a second chance at life out of guilt simply because yellows life is hell so it doesnt make much sense to me.
2.
I've been thinking a lot about the characters and their deaths. I'm fairly certain that yellow has died by getting hit by a car and red has died by driving into a lake. Yellow is obvious, and my reasoning for red is:
1. Yellows line of a family being people who die on the same day in the same style in different locations
2. Reds ID telling him "you die in the lake"
3. Red being the one to desperately drive the car (which we know is linked with death imagery) even when its breaking down hes still desperate to keep going
But the one who's been bothering me for a while has been Duck. I cannot for the life of me figure out a connection for Duck without it being a stretch. For a bit I wondered if it had to do with fire. Theres a few mentions of burning in the show but most notably in the last episode the painting of a ranch (?) with horses in it is now on fire (found in the background of the kitchen).
But then it suddenly hit me, a few things that felt like theyd come out of nowhere and had little meaning.
"How did you die?" "I forgot to drink water, hah!"
"No hovarice you cant have my water, you should have brought your own water"
And duck showing up as a pet dog.
Maybe he died in a hot car, like a neglected dog?

some blue girl sketches cuz idk if i’ve actually posted some stuff relating to the actual show lmao???
#don't hug me i'm scared#dhmis#don't hug me i'm scared oc#dhmis oc#sketch#doodle#the big boys look with the big heads and long arms is so weird but it was easier to design than the bigger boys look#cuz red and duck look weirdly different in that room#but i think blue would become a weird cyborg in her own right#just not as advanced looking as duck's weird cyborg form#and i mentioned it before but blue would be a secretary at peterson's and sons and friends bits and parts limited#so she would sometimes accept calls and transfer them to 'mr peterson' aka red

Yellow Guy's Age
DHMIS Fandom, we need to talk about the infantilization of Yellow Guy. It's Papyrus from Undertale all over again😭😭 seriously. Anyways, I'm tired of seeing a GROWN MAN get depicted as a child by this fandom (I'm not talking about AUs or whatever, I'm talking about in casual fanart and the like). There is plenty of evidence from the show to support that Yellow Guy is, in fact, an adult, and I will list some out for you here:
In episode 1 (Jobs), Yellow Guy falls in love and marries Claire (the wrench person) in the span of the 40 years of working for Peterson's and Son's and Friends Bits and Parts Limited! This would be weird if Yellow Guy had met her as a child and grew up to marry her, wouldn't it? "But all that never even happened!" Yes, it did, because if we're using that logic, nothing from ANY of the other episodes happened because they always end up right back at home with no memory of the day prior regardless! Stay with me here!
In episode 3 (Family), Yellow Guy is seen as old enough by Todney and Lily to be forced into the role of the "Mother" and successfully order the Grolton's Chicken family tub. When the three get home, they proceed to try and open the packet of Chuddle Dollops again. During this scene, Red Guy refers to Yellow Guy as his "brother" rather than a son or any other family member.
In episode 4 (Friendship), it is revealed that Yellow Guy has a maiden name (it's "Rat Eyes" apparently), implying he has been married and/or divorced! Also, this next point might be a stretch which is why it isn't the main one for this bullet, but the first thing Yellow Guy wants to do when they finally get on the computer is "Do Gambling".
In episode 6 (Electricity), Lesley refers to Yellow as "NOT their real son". If they DO in fact happen to be his creator/parental figure, and Roy is his father, then that makes it very well possible that Yellow is at VERY LEAST in his late 20s-30s if Lesley is between 60-70 (the actress that plays Lesley, Vivienne Soan, is 67 years old, so it's safe to assume her character is supposed to be presented as around that age range). Another bit that might be a stretch is that after getting fresh batteries, Yellow Guy is able to do taxes, and even speaks more clearly and "mature" sounding.
Yellow is never referred to as a child by the others and is treated as an equal by all members of the household. They constantly pick on each other and even get in a fistfight at the end of episode 4.
Yellow Guy's voice is deep and does not SOUND like one of a child. If he were supposed to be one, wouldn't they give him a more "childish" voice?
And now I will debunk a few arguments I've seen used against people claiming Yellow Guy being an adult:
"But he dresses in overalls!"
Roy wears overalls too. Does this make him a child? Anyone can wear overalls.
"He's child sized! He MUST be a child!"
Actually, Duck/Green is the smallest one, and they're all puppets. They're gonna be pretty small compared to Red Guy. Also, height =/= age. Remember when the smallest in the house in the Family episode was revealed to be the father? Also, if we're going by height, why isn't Duck considered a child too then?
"He's too stupid/doesn't act like an adult."
We see in episode 6 that the reason he acts the way he does is because his batteries are dying. Also "stupidity" =/= age. Half the time Red Guy and Duck are just as dumb (if not more) than Yellow Guy in their actions So I really don't get why people use this one as an argument. It also feels a bit ableist to consider "not smart" people as children.
Wow. All of this even when I've fully disregarded the Pilot episode (I did this because some of you may consider it "not canon" because it was scrapped) and the webseries. I can't believe I even had to make this post, but it had to be done or else I'd lose my head! Thanks for reading if you made it this far!

The funny thing is, their universe isn’t trying to be cruel, at least not deliberately. It’s mostly (Lesley? The higher ups? The writers?) belief’s. Which are limited on perspective.
Strict, tight, irregular, questionable; rules
Interesting interesting I think I agree to an extent but I don't have enough concrete evidence of the 'rules' of the DHMIS universe to say for certain if the actions that take place are intended to be cruel or not. Honestly, we're not even sure what/who is on the next level up above Lesley (is it us, the viewers? Watching these puppets get tortured for our own entertainment? is it another being?) so maybe Lesley's operating with a mindset of a very twisted version of 'right' and 'wrong' in the ways she keeps them there.
But (and this is a little off track) it's interesting to me how there's proof of life outside the pink house and Lesley's realm of control. Warren worked at and was fired from the OK Stop corporation, the trio worked at Petersons and Sons and Friends, the Twins have an extensive family tree, Unemployed Brendan has a bathtime. All these characters have little bits and quirks and rituals that clearly exist separately and HAVE existed separately from the trio's lives, they have their own issues to deal with (ie: the twin's dead mother, Warren getting fired and being removed from his friendgroup, Unemployed Brendon had enough free time to write a novel) Unless all these occurrences were being created by the narrative for the sake of the trio, I wonder if the outside 'teacher' characters exist and operate under the same set of rules. Why do they seem to have free will and free roam of their existence while the trio is stuck in or around the house or wherever a teacher 'blips' them to?
I need to know the rules of this universe so bad i'm like foaming at the mouth I NEED THE WORLD BUILDING BECKY COME ON
