i have some thoughts on the Thin Man :)

thoughts that i HAVE discussed on my twitter but for the sake of convenience i will elaborate on them (in excruciating detail i am so sorry) under the cut (SPOILERS ABOUND)

So we all know that mono spent the rest of his life in that tiny room in that single chair right? but he was still growing and aging like any person would and still retaining his basic bodily functions. but he hasn’t left that room. so he hasn’t had any access to food or water or anything to ... know... keep him alive. and yet he still grows for years. but how?

so it seems like the writhing mass of meat and eyes in the Black Tower (ive been calling it the Mass) is the center of this whole worlds problems. Whatever is being broadcasted by the Tower and is enrapturing these people and warping them and disfiguring them is most likely from this Mass (and honestly why i think that all of the children look completely normal compared to all of the adult figures because they’ve been exposed to the signal for longer, and another example of that being how FAST Six transformed when she was taken to the Black Tower because of the direct exposure to The Mass’ influence (besides the thin man but i’m getting to that). So it has the power to physically manipulate a persons appearance. So that makes me think if it can do something like that, it can keep something ALIVE if it really wants to. 

But why would it want to keep Mono alive? Because it NEEDS him. it NEEDS his power and they NEED his CONTROL over them.  Mono is the only one who seems to be able to keep The Mass at bay. In fact within the final moments of the game where The Mass started to look like it was surrounding him, there was a pulsing of static and it was suddenly gone with mono left alone in the chair.  Because of his ability to traverse through the tvs, and what we constantly see of mono when he’s trying to control the static in the tv when he’s trying to get to the hallway, he has the ability to fine tune and filter whatever overwhelming signal this creature is giving out. So, with his power, he maintains control over the signal for The Mass, and in turn, it keeps him “alive” without the need to leave the room.

But because of The Mass having to manually grow this barely alive child, Mono grows and elongated unnaturally, making mono grow into something a little farther from human, but with Mono still having control over The Mass’ influence he still looks something closer to human still. But literally the only reason that i draw his hair being long is to imply growth without maintaining anything cuz im pretty fuckin sure he doesnt really have the utilities to cut his hair lol  but then that argument could be made for facial hair to which he has fucking none (like h ow?? ?? ? ??) but i think one could make the argument that because The Mass only has limited knowledge of actual humans and only knows of what is normally broadcasted though those tvs, and since it looks like those tvs are fairly outdated, looking about 50′s to 60′s era, then what would normally be broadcasted are clean shaven men in suits so it would only know as much of what it broadcasts. as well as Mono being a literal child who likely knows nothing about human physiology other than how long it probably takes for someone to die of starvation and not knowing shit about how adults work and just rolling with it 

and it basically just turns into this:

congrats on your new meat parent mono, you are now a build-a-bear
