stable wigeon
#

he remembered his past didnt he

upper drift
#

Wasn't just deer. Remember that even Mr. Rabbit went against him at some point.

stable wigeon
#

did they all remember their past

upper drift
#

No but Mr. Owl also "Ascended"

#

To a "higher state of consciousness"

stable wigeon
#

Wasn't just deer. Remember that even Mr. Rabbit went against him at some point. True but was that for the same reason? he did that to balance the substance remember
@upper drift

azure bay
stable wigeon
#

yea i was under impression owl was. only one that has

azure bay
stable wigeon
#

o right

upper drift
#

Uh Mr. Crow remained the same, In thought?

#

I*

stable wigeon
#

yea forgot about him

#

but i was mainy talking about

#

paradise island

upper drift
#

Hmm

stable wigeon
#

he was the only one who kept them i was inclined to believe

#

since like

azure bay
#

I've also got that impression

upper drift
#

I seriously want a game from the perspective of Mr Owl

#

Who has now given up the mantle of the Owl mask

stable wigeon
#

why were the guys at the hotel so oblivous to getting murdered lol

#

only makes sense they dont have their memories

upper drift
#

Well Harvey was just "a servant" remember?

#

They never expected him to be lethal anyway

stable wigeon
#

yea ig

upper drift
#

Kinda like modern Room service

azure bay
#

They would notice the other guests being suspiciously gone

stable wigeon
#

true they seem to just be stupid

upper drift
#

Hmmm that is there though

azure bay
stable wigeon
#

same difference lol

azure bay
#

If they knew their previous deeds they'd expect some kind of revenge & be vigilant

stable wigeon
#

yea ikr

#

how personal do u think it was for owl lol

azure bay
#

I think, not that personal

upper drift
#

Mr Owl is manipulative

#

So no

azure bay
#

He was the winner after all

stable wigeon
#

yea right

upper drift
#

Guy has a God syndrome

stable wigeon
#

lol

#

anyway

#

i should prob sleep

#

cya

azure bay
upper drift
#

Aight bye

upper drift
#

I'm also interested how Dale would turn out as the new Mr. Owl

azure bay
#

I expect him to become Deer

upper drift
#

The one guy calling the shots

#

Um hasnt he already replaced Mr Owl ||in paradox||

azure bay
#

not yet

#

don't you think that BD & Theatre take place right after Case 23?

upper drift
#

Yes it is

#

Wait whats BD?

azure bay
#

birthday

upper drift
#

Oh

#

Yes it is

#

Mainly because they're changed memories

azure bay
#

may I try convincing you in otherwise?

upper drift
#

Uh sure

#

I'll be afk for a while but I'll join back

azure bay
#
  1. In Case 23 Dale was going down. In BD & Theatre he was going upwards.
  2. The elevators he's riding in in Case 23 & BD+Theatre are different.
#

so that means that he had to switch them some time in between the games. And I know exactly when

#
  1. In The Cave there's a mural depicting Dale's descend to the lake bottom & his travel to the big white cube
#
  1. Later that game we still saw Dale in that cube. Then he started flickering between human & corrupted state before being put in another elevator. Both in BD & Theatre intros we see Dale still flickering
#
  1. The elevator he's going up in is similar to the one we see in Hotel
#
  1. In the Hotel game ending we see a prophecy of Dale reaching the hotel by the elevator
#

so the chronology is more like Case 23->The Cave->Birthday->Theatre->Hotel prophecy

So we may expect just another game taking place in the hotel

#

Paradox is another subject to discuss tho

real lantern
#

I know this conversation happened yesterday but, i dont think that laura actualy changed the past, she just changed her own memories so she could have closure, so she could be happy and pass on to another part of the wheel of life

royal notch
#

It could be. This would be a change never happened just like for Dale.

azure bay
royal notch
#

Right, Is also hard think that the devs "ended" this fantastic story just at the beginning.

azure bay
royal notch
#

Yeah, maybe Laura's corrupted soul changed the past just like Dale did. And so, she didn't really, but only in her mind.

real lantern
#

I realy think i read somewhere that they had the story set after "the lake" but i just cant seem to find the source...

royal notch
#

Yes, for someone, Lake Is to play before seasons.

azure bay
royal notch
#

The Lake Is in the Summer 1964, before the evening we play in seasons.

azure bay
#

the Lake is in 1969

royal notch
#

Yeah, Sorry!

azure bay
#

between spring 1964 & summer 1971

royal notch
#

My mistake.

azure bay
#

np

real lantern
#

I mean, that the devs had the story pretty much formed after "the lake" but now that i cant find the source of where i read it, i think i might just be crazy

royal notch
#

I also read that, i think in the Wiki.

azure bay
#

It's even more likely that some newer ideas would grow on the older ones

#

like the golden cube

real lantern
#

I mean, yeah but.... man would that make stuff easier

azure bay
#

it's expected to be seen both in BD & Theatre

#

it's not the case tho

#

like it was an idea that arrived exclusively during The Cave production

#

William Vanderboom also seems to be taken out of nowhere, for in The Mill Laura was treated just like a mundane memory donor

#

but the main arc of Dale could be that story you think you've read about

#

this seems to be consistent since The Mill

cerulean crypt
#

So my theory
There is a massive creature in the lake (i will cal it monster)
it is shown in two places;
In cave
and on main page of Rusty lake studio

Maybe the moster is the reason why memories my go back to the lake?
What if that monster is a Lobster donkey?

azure bay
#

oh no! that guy has found us!

cerulean crypt
#

what guy?

#

found what?

azure bay
#

😁

azure bay
azure bay
cerulean crypt
azure bay
#

We've met on reddit

covert wyvern
#

if you'd pay attention to usernames you would've known right away 😉

cerulean crypt
#

Yes it was me

#

ok it was you

#

But there is monster in lake

azure bay
#

maybe multiple of them. maybe even not of the same species

#

the lake was full of surprises

royal notch
#

I don't know, in Paradise there are plagues, and i don't think they could have this Power.

#

But Who knows...

royal notch
#

About this ipothetical Monster.

cerulean crypt
#

Monster is real

#

visit RL home page

#

and play minigame

royal notch
#

I saw that.

#

I'm saying... Ipothetical his Power.

azure bay
royal notch
#

Would we talk about that horrible thing with human legs?

azure bay
#

that's one of them

cerulean crypt
#

Also , if lake is named rusty, that mean the soil and rocs have iron, why there is no mine then?

royal notch
#

I think, the Lake Is called in that way, because during the night it dye Red, like Rusty iron.

azure bay
cerulean crypt
#

Also it may be algea, but i don't think there are that kind of alge in canada

azure bay
royal notch
#

Right.

royal notch
cerulean crypt
royal notch
#

Someone (like me) thinks that the Lake Is something like a supernatural entity, that would explain the plagues in Paradise.

azure bay
#

agree

#

I'm pretty sure that the lake was the main object of Eilanders' cult

#

it also has its own will

#

in a way

#

like it always required fresh memories

cerulean crypt
#

Also i wonder why if lake is possiby in USA or Canada why there is chapel from 14th century
Maybe it was moved from Europe

cerulean crypt
#

IDK how but it is possible

azure bay
#

would people bother that much with moving heavy rocks if they were in abundance on the place of destinaton

cerulean crypt
#

IDK, but moving building is a fact

azure bay
cerulean crypt
#

Building can be moved anytime

azure bay
#

ah, I guess I get what you mean

cerulean crypt
#

In roots we can see when it first is sean

royal notch
cerulean crypt
#

Canadian arnmy also use british uniform

royal notch
#

Canada was a Britain's colony, in fact.

#

In 1914.

azure bay
#

if you have evidence from the past, I'll be glad to admit myself being wrong

cerulean crypt
azure bay
#

ok, my apologies

#

however, I'm still not sure if anyone would pay for moving the chapel across the ocean

#

we don't even have a potential customer

royal notch
#

Maybe, Rusty Lake Is in the North of England!

cerulean crypt
#

Maybe if you take many immigrants, and they wan't something from they country

azure bay
#

I'd rather believe in them building a new chapel from the scratch

cerulean crypt
#

It is still posible

azure bay
#

possible & plausible are different things

royal notch
#

But that wouldn't explain the date.

cerulean crypt
#

why not?

azure bay
royal notch
#

In the 1300?

cerulean crypt
#

If it was moved from europe it explains

royal notch
#

Yeah.

#

I agree with nowherecaw, It surely had been hard.

cerulean crypt
#

But it is possible

royal notch
#

Yes.

covert wyvern
#

the lake shall forever just be a subspace bubble that can be accessed all over the world Cool

cerulean crypt
#

It can also be just a state of mind

royal notch
#

Every street take to the Lake!

covert wyvern
#

I've also contemplated that^

#

the state of mind thing.

#

but I'm unsure.

vague imp
#

maybe the lake is just in a different plane of existence

covert wyvern
#

ye subspace / plane

#

its a bit of an easy out

#

but I headcanon it.

cerulean crypt
#

but the fish is real

vague imp
#

well maybe the fish swam into it

cerulean crypt
#

From what i find it can be Golden redhorse or Roach

covert wyvern
#

different plane doesnt have to mean alien.

nocturne yarrow
#

Apologies if this is an annoying question and I should just scroll up and find out about it on my own, but why couldn't the chapel just have been built on the lake?

azure bay
nocturne yarrow
#

Ah, got it

#

At this point, it just makes more sense to me that the lake would be located somewhere in northern Europe

cerulean crypt
#

Actualy why many people tell that town has no name
Why we can't use Dark Town name??

azure bay
cerulean crypt
#

Ohh ok, i know that the globe map aren't real map

nocturne yarrow
#

I do think it's possible that some of the more oblique locations on the Paradox globes are future locations for the games. The Dark Town specifically seems like it could be used, as I always got the feeling that there was a town near Rusty Lake that housed the Theatre and other locations we've never seen in larger shots of the lake.

cerulean crypt
#

I also think that it is the town

royal notch
#

Me too, but i don't think It Is his real name.

#

Also, a Lake with this particularity attracts tons of tourists and surely there must be a Town for them.

cerulean crypt
#

We see there is a town near lake

#

Dale himself mentione it

azure bay
nocturne yarrow
azure bay
#

it even takes Hoorn's daughter to take a plane to get to the lake from that very city

royal notch
#

But why It should be hidden? If the Lake Is hard top reach It wouldn't have all those tourists.

cerulean crypt
#

There is hotel on the lake

azure bay
nocturne yarrow
#

And the hotel isn't really for tourists, it seems more specialized for Mr. Owl's purposes.

azure bay
#

that would go there hiking, for example

royal notch
#

Let me explain.

cerulean crypt
#

there is fishing cabin on the lake

azure bay
cerulean crypt
azure bay
#

and what's your message here?

cerulean crypt
#

i take a step back

#

Nothing

nocturne yarrow
#

Here's my claim about the lake's hidden-ness- The lake is clearly difficult to find or hidden, as Dale wasn't able to find it without literally teleporting there, but you can get there more easily with "invitation". An example would be the mental health and wellness program Laura signed up for, leading her to end up at the cabin.

covert wyvern
#

Id like to second this motion^

nocturne yarrow
#

I'm not sure how it works, but I think Mr. Owl has some Hogwarts-esque power over who can and can't access the lake.

covert wyvern
#

theres magic involved it doesnt have to make sense

#

lmao

azure bay
nocturne yarrow
azure bay
#

we definitely have James, Mary, Ida and Leonard freely entering or leaving the location

#

oh

nocturne yarrow
#

Aye, because they originated there, or were "invited".

#

Once you're connected to the lake, I think you essentially have the freedom to come and go.

azure bay
#

We also have the more recent example

#

Kirsten Hoorn

nocturne yarrow
royal notch
# royal notch Let me explain.

I think there are tons of tourists, because that particularity of the Lake. That explain every brand Rusty Lake we see in the games (Cigars, Pilsener, etc.). With this whole local products, the Lake Is definitely a tourists Place. The hotel Is built for seeming a vip places, that only Rich people can afford. My theory Is that the enlighteneds are the bosses of those brands, and that they can afford the hotel. In there, they can assume their real form. And anyway, if someone casually approach too much, nothing prevent them to assume the human form.

azure bay
nocturne yarrow
azure bay
royal notch
azure bay
#

the news from Canada could me missed in US

#

just irrelevant

cerulean crypt
azure bay
#

& Boar is ambassador

#

so there could be even more

royal notch
nocturne yarrow
azure bay
nocturne yarrow
#

no like

royal notch
nocturne yarrow
#

those are the hidden identities, not their true names

nocturne yarrow
azure bay
azure bay
royal notch
#

I mean, the Eilanders built the hotel, so they can just pretend to be special guests. Mr Toad and Mr Bat are new enlighteneds who already had money from their backstories, maybe from those brands, and that Is an explaination for the rest of the world for afford the hotel.

azure bay
cerulean crypt
#

But why Dale gone crazy on Laura?

royal notch
azure bay
nocturne yarrow
#

I just don't think the guests are even the Eilanders at all, but that's a point I've made too many damn times to talk about more

royal notch
nocturne yarrow
azure bay
royal notch
#

I think the Eilanders built tigether the hotel, and then everyone went for his way.

royal notch
cerulean crypt
#

But why they collect memories?

azure bay
azure bay
azure bay
#

& didn't know about the lake

cerulean crypt
royal notch
nocturne yarrow
azure bay
#

Eilanders didn't consume any form of elixir. Owl & Crow did

cerulean crypt
nocturne yarrow
royal notch
#

But if the Eilanders haven't any Memories, why the mass omicide in hotel?

nocturne yarrow
azure bay
royal notch
#

And the others black cubes?

azure bay
nocturne yarrow
#

My thinking is that Owl found random people whom the spirits or whatever of his family reincarnated into, brought them to the Hotel and gave them elixir so they assumed animal forms, and that confluence of the sacred animal forms let him create the cube that predicted the future. Or something like that.

#

good lord the story of these games sounds insane when you look at it from an outside perspective

azure bay
nocturne yarrow
#

yeah, that's a pretty big problem with my theory

#

Though do keep in mind the time discrepancy- he could've run out by that point.

azure bay
#

the elixir he consumed wasn't materialistic

#

the elixir Aldous consumed was kept intact & it was James to waste it

#

for some it seems stupid

cerulean crypt
#

Dog is immortal

azure bay
cerulean crypt
azure bay
#

I think lobster donkey is more relevant on the memes channel or smth

cerulean crypt
#

There is some reason why they put that in game

covert wyvern
#

Depends on the context

azure bay
cerulean crypt
#

FOR MEMES is also a good reason

covert wyvern
#

But nowheres probably right.

cerulean crypt
#

But still there is monster in lake

azure bay
cerulean crypt
azure bay
#

I have some speculations

#

It could be taken to the lake elsewhere

cerulean crypt
#

What?

azure bay
#

Like the lake is seen in Arles, something big could swim in from distant waters

#

It could be an ancient being that was preserved since 20000 b.c. due to time anomalies in the lake's proximity

cerulean crypt
#

Actualy what if lake is here where is mr.Owl?

azure bay
#

It could be a mutant created by the lake

cerulean crypt
#

That wil explain how van Gogh know lake

azure bay
cerulean crypt
#

Actualy, if we see broken timepiece in collecion, does that mean Dead can't be reborn?

azure bay
#

the timepiece seems to be just an element of William's mechanism that helped him get reborn afterwards

#

no magic seen

cerulean crypt
#

But we see noone else reborning

royal notch
#

Personally, i think that William get reicarnated because of his work to get reicarnated.

azure bay
azure bay
cerulean crypt
azure bay
#

to be reborn faster

cerulean crypt
#

Push Samsara wheel forward?

azure bay
#

as his live is believed to be full of suffering

#

the live as a CS

cerulean crypt
#

Also Albert seems he communicate with Wiliam

azure bay
#

& he wanted to be reborn specifically as human

cerulean crypt
#

He do many thing to help him'

azure bay
#

Rose does

#

Albert is shown to be on his own

cerulean crypt
#

Put he did to much to this be a coincidence

royal notch
azure bay
#

it just happened that he was poorly treated

cerulean crypt
azure bay
#

seems to be the case

#

but the pulse was set by William & Aldous

#

the ritual was devised & prepared

#

the nephew was invited

#

then the things went on their own

#

(probably)

royal notch
#

Exactly, and William's corrupted soul did everything for more than 60 years! I'm curios how can Albert revive. Maybe he prepared something for his own... we'll see.

azure bay
#

what is "everything"?

royal notch
#

The game. Helping the discendents.

#

For his purpose.

azure bay
#

Unfortunately, for the most cases we don't know which deeds performed by the player belong to William & which to all the others

#

we know that SOME do belong to William

#

we even know which they are

#

but most of them are not that certain

royal notch
#

I think every game, because it's not of the devs changing the POV during the game. But anyway, he waited that time.

astral frost
#

In any case, he needed the sacrifices

#

Whatever was the cost

royal notch
#

Exactly!

royal notch
#

😂

azure bay
# royal notch I think every game, because it's not of the devs changing the POV during the gam...

As long as everyone is to eventually die, William could just wait & WATCH. The problem is the form of these games. Nothing happens without the player's tap. However, not every tap belongs to the protagonist. Something is always performed by other characters, something happens on its own. But every time the player should tap the screen, for otherwise it wouldn't be a game but a low-budget cartoon.

royal notch
#

Yeah, but i still don't think that sometime we are other people. But also i know that we don't do EVERYTHING in the game. Just think of the Voodoo level: surely was Albert moving the dolls, but the player do that Just for the game.

azure bay
#

that's my point

#

there's no need for William to do anything Vanderbooms could do on their own

stable wigeon
#

btw does anyone know whats up with that picture of a forest with red fog

#

and the jumpscare with it in seasons

azure bay
#

In Theatre this forest was stated to be a kind of hell. In The Cave we see this forest under the lake

cerulean crypt
#

I was wondering why fishesh in lake act strange, but then i see that fish is one of thing on Wheel in CE Theatre, SO did that actualy means that some fishesh have people soul in it?

azure bay
#

there is no such thing as "people soul", according to samsara. There are just souls that may become humans, animals & even gods

#

If you are a fish it doesn't mean that you are unable to become a human in your next life

#

& vise versa

cerulean crypt
#

Also , in Hotel Harvey look like HarveyShocked this , Harvey wear a male suit
But in seasons we se Harvey laing eggs, so are there two parrots or something weird happend

prisma monolith
#

There was the hidden snowglobe scene in Birthday

covert wyvern
#

y'all are too stuck on gendering clothes and names 😉

vague imp
#

Harvey is a yes

azure bay
prisma monolith
#

That shows their fate after being attacked by the corrupted souls of the Hotel guests, they were transformed into a bird afterwards

azure bay
#

Harvey was personnaly revived by Mr. Owl then. I guess, a demigod form was too much even for him, so Harvey had to stick to an animal one from then on. BTW sex is an attribute of a body, not soul so changing it alongside with body is ok, from samsara pov

cerulean crypt
#

male birds don't lay eggs

prisma monolith
#

Gender/sexuality in birds is quite a bit different than a human's

azure bay
cerulean crypt
#

Is there two parrots or something weird happend?

prisma monolith
#

For example, they don't have X or Y chromosomes, instead having Z and W

azure bay
prisma monolith
#

A bird could probably identify as a male and still lay eggs

#

Human men have gotten pregnant before (FtoM trans, but still)

cerulean crypt
#

So something weid happen

prisma monolith
#

I'm not an ornithologist and I only learned this knowledge anecdotally from only one college course, so take my word with a grain of salt

azure bay
#

I rather tend to think that we're seeing a depiction of an accurate culture of 19th century that was ignorant about all of modern gender knowledge & Harvey just got a different sex after rebirth just like William did

vague imp
#

Harvey could be magic n change gender whenever he/she/they/whatever wants

#

if i was able do change my gender on a whim i wouldnt honestly give a flying fuck what others say

prisma monolith
#

Harvey could just be a female in masculine attire

cerulean crypt
#

So Harvey from hotel Phiicaly isn'tharvey from CE?

covert wyvern
#

well harveys still harvey

#

theyre just a bird now

#

rather than a halfanimalperson

vague imp
#

controversial opinion:
Harvey is Harvey-Damy

covert wyvern
#

spicey takes on the monday morning.

cerulean crypt
vague imp
#

it means Harvey is Harvey

cerulean crypt
#

But he has diffrent genders in difrent games how?

prisma monolith
#

Harvey is Harvey, don't speculate

azure bay
#

William did the same

cerulean crypt
#

When Harvey rebirth then?

azure bay
cerulean crypt
prisma monolith
#

(looks up "bird gender") uh, all I can see is that males tend to have brighter plumage

cerulean crypt
#

Adolus can also change forms

azure bay
#

just before the lightbeam struck them

vague imp
#

i dont think the devs placed too much thought into that..XD

#

ngl

azure bay
#

I have a screenshot

cerulean crypt
#

So this what takes William decades , Harvey do so fast?

prisma monolith
#

Harvey could also be the occasional half-male half-female bird

azure bay
covert wyvern
#

it's probably easier to transform an alive being

#

than being reborn as a new person

ahaha

I want to tackle your money question @cerulean crypt so don't mind me answering it.

wait so

vague imp
#

well theres is a thing called "bigender" maybe Harvey's figuring out which gender they like the most

#

that takes time trust me..XD

stable wigeon
#

if the forest is hell does that mean thats where the CS go

azure bay
stable wigeon
#

and can they just visit their memories whenever they want

azure bay

#

idk if they know any trans people ever and it is a touchy subject these days ngl so you gotta dread lightly

covert wyvern
#

we stan trans parrots in this server shermaPrideTrans

vague imp
#

we do

cerulean crypt
#

So Harvey is trans parrot

vague imp
#

i think im gonna make a trans rights harvey edit..XD

covert wyvern
#

well maybe.

#

all we know is Harvey seems "male dressed" in hotel, and gets transformed probably into another gender at the end of hotel in the secret birthday scene

#

we don't know if Harvey became "female" on their own accord or by accident.

vague imp
#

i seen women rock suits more than men ngl..XD

covert wyvern

#

to be blunt

covert wyvern

although looking at the importance of harveys eggs in the series,

If Shakespearean actors (men) wore drag to portray women, then it would make sense that women wore male clothing then

that IS rebirth?

assuming the memories are part of the soul^ which most definitely seems to be the case in RL

rebirth implies different forms tho doesnt it

#

like person to tree

covert wyvern
#

doesn't have to.

prisma monolith

Is rebirth gender really random, or did William want to shed his male body for a female's?

grizzled bluff
#

Not necessarily

covert wyvern
#

I think Williams case was just

#

"luck"

vague imp
#

he rolled a d20

stable wigeon

but what tf kind of form is

covert wyvern
#

bc laura was born from a "natural" pregnancy

stable wigeon

azure bay
grizzled bluff

I always felt like it was a bit botched. In the sense that not much of dear ol' Billie remained in the first place

i have a theory i wanna share about William and Laura if youre all willing do hear..XD

OHHH thats what that means

Hotel is asura?

vague imp
#

So you know how William was "reborn" well i dont think he really was Laura had her own soul, mind and body.But Williams (corrupted) soul stood around/latched onto her since birth like some freaky ghost stalker, so she saw "him" or his soul of constantly driving her more paranoid/cuckoo for coco puffs so pretty much his soul haunted a woman driving her to well suicide..

cerulean crypt

I am realy the one who start it?

We never saw Rose with a baby bump (we only saw Mary and Emma being pregnant)

although I guess most if not all events in roots are dated.

well she did go into the clock lmao..XD

prisma monolith

Did the branches/roots impregnate Rose?

covert wyvern
#

that's not a mental image i want to think about.

lord dbmf i cant unsee thst but i guess yeah

cerulean crypt

Maybe she later gave birth or baptized Laura in the lake, and that's why she's seen holding her knee-deep in the water

stable wigeon
#

i thought they were

azure bay
#

The dates are approximate

stable wigeon
#

also hold up speaking of roots

cerulean crypt

Imagine one of Devs of RL watching people arguing about gender of parrot

several ppl are typing

iirc, not by specific month or day, but by season and year

& the many events may take longer than a day

#

I can prove one chapter taking years to last

cerulean crypt
#

Also i wondering , there is some issue with money in games

stable wigeon
#

were you previously implying that harvey wasnt an actual parrot until AFTER his anthropomorphic form?

#

because that doesnt fit with her appearing in roots

cerulean crypt
#

In roots we se only 3 people doing some kind of job

azure bay
cerulean crypt

Where Vanderbooms money come from?

they likely work lmao somewhere

Only Sam, Ida and Leonard do something that may be a job

@stable wigeon lets keep real life politics out of this./

thank you.

not politics just saying

yes with politcians.

don't.

who knows where rich families get their money

that's better.

yeah mfdbk,fd lets not.XD and who knows

stable wigeon
#

aight whatevs

cerulean crypt

Sam was Carpenter, Ida fortune teller, Leonard was Solidier

prisma monolith

Sam's a carpenter and Ida's a fortune teller, but maybe a lot of the finances come from inheritances?

cerulean crypt

What about anyone else

covert wyvern
#

@stable wigeon not "whatevs'

#

adhere to the rules or face consequence.

stable wigeon
#

....I stick to my claim I was not discussing politics

#

I wasnt

vague imp
#

I can see Leonard being a mechanic after he returned from the war, he seems do be into tinkering with vehicles n such

covert wyvern
#

and I stick to the claim you make yourself familiar with the rules before you catch a banhammer.

#

and I'll tell you right now, I'm right.

#

so I kindly suggest you drop this subject 😄

who me?

covert wyvern
#

nah.

cerulean crypt
#

Can we bacc to money?

Why couldn't they have a passive income of a kind?

covert wyvern
#

go ahead. my scolding is done ;p

vague imp
#

we dont know how the lake works money wise..XD

#

but i hc there is a village or smth nearby we just dont see it

prisma monolith
#

The house looks nice, maybe they invested in real estate?

#

If that was a thing back then

vague imp
#

hmm

#

surprsingly this wasn't something i learned in real estate class

cerulean crypt
#

Like we only see 3 Vanderbooms working

covert wyvern
#

could be a few trhings; everything is dirt cheap

#

they grow most of their own supply somewhere

vague imp
#

wasnt it the you know

#

big sad era?

covert wyvern
#

or passive income / inheritance

prisma monolith
#

Recession?

vague imp
#

no i mean the

great depression

prisma monolith
#

I know that it really impacted the whole world, but how bad was it in the Netherlands?

vague imp
#

i dunno dont live there lol

cerulean crypt
#

Vanderbooms live in UK or in Canada

covert wyvern
#

Assuming the lake is its own entity not connected to any real state or economy

#

I doubt it hurt them much/

vague imp
#

i dont think it was ever confirmed where it existed..XD

covert wyvern
#

it isn't

#

that's why I personally see it as its own thing

#

even if it does have a physical location.

cerulean crypt
#

But Leo is british Solidier

vague imp
#

mmm dunno lmao

cerulean crypt
covert wyvern
#

I personally think showing the war was a terrible decision on RLs end.

prisma monolith
#

I assume that it was somewhere in the Netherlands, since that's where the Rusty Lake studio is

cerulean crypt
#

Leo is british solidier

covert wyvern
#

my main "reasoning" for believing the Lake is its own subspace bubble is the White Door ARG

vague imp
#

If you look up "ww1 soldier clothes" that outfit is the most generic example

covert wyvern
#

I personally believe the Lake doesn't need a location and is simply accesible.

vague imp
#

so it really cant be used do pinpoint a country

covert wyvern
#

it can be, sadly.

#

the uniforns used during WW1 were veryh distinct.

cerulean crypt
#

A HELMET

#

HELMET IS REALY SPECIFIC

prisma monolith
#

Also, since the games have such a large English-speaking audience, it would make sense that they'd put him in English soldier clothing

vague imp
#

well i mean English is a common used language these days

#

nearly everyone speaks some English

prisma monolith
#

Nearly, not all

#

Also, it's a thing in the US where you can be drafted if you have nationality to the country, regardless if you currently live in another

#

Not sure if it extends to Rusty Lake, but it's a thing regardless

cerulean crypt
#

Rusty Lake is in Canada

covert wyvern
#

we don't know that.

cerulean crypt
#

Vanderbooms live really close to lake

prisma monolith
#

Because of the Northern flora?

cerulean crypt
#

Leo was british solidier

covert wyvern
#

We, again, don't know that.

vague imp
#

Oi bruv

cerulean crypt
#

Canadaian army also use british uniform

covert wyvern
#

we theorise

#

you can't claim these things as fact.

#

no one can claim anything as fact. lmao.

vague imp
#

only rusty lake can

cerulean crypt
#

Also somone said me that some charaters have cannon height? is that true?

prisma monolith
#

I believe that this channel is labelled "theories" and not "things that I say are true because I analyze them to be so"

vague imp
#

i dont think anyone has a canon height..XD

cerulean crypt
#

Ok , i will take step bacc

#

But we can measure it!

#

use matchbox

#

Matchboxes are unified

prisma monolith
#

I've headcannoned all the adults in the games to be at least 5 feet tall

#

People in the past are usually shorter

azure bay
#

there are tons of possible evidence leading towards Canada

#

there is one against it

#

the date on the chapel

#

but you still can over-complicate your perception of this just in order to find a way around it

cerulean crypt
#

I explain it Jesterday

#

It was moved from Europe

azure bay
#

once again, this is very unlikely. Just measure the distance & lack of people that would pay for it.

prisma monolith
#

How about this: Rusty Lake is its own realm that cannot be mapped, you can only be summoned to it

azure bay
#

there are literally no Christians around in 1796

cerulean crypt
#

It is still posible

azure bay
vague imp
#

Oh no religion

cerulean crypt
#

Maybe mr Owl pay for this for some reason

prisma monolith
#

Kinda like the time loops in the Peculiar Children series, except the passage of time is the same as the outer world's

azure bay
azure bay
cerulean crypt
#

Or the number isn't year

azure bay
#

Usually it's the date of construction

#

I know no exaples of otherwise

prisma monolith
#

How do we know that it's a Christian chapel? Catholicism and Quakers were around by the late 1700's

azure bay
cerulean crypt
#

Can't we just rewerse search one of that shots?

prisma monolith
#

The cross is suggested to be a Pagan symbol

#

It also appears to be the Latin cross variant

azure bay
prisma monolith
#

There are churches that aren't necessarily Christian and still use crosses (a lot of Lutheran churches I've seen use it)

azure bay
#

Lutherans are worshiping the same god & reading the same Bible

#

they've just separated from Catholics

covert wyvern
#

aye^

#

and where the catholics love using imagery, my local church still had a wooden cross.

#

(it was protestant)

cerulean crypt
#

Maybe lake don't exist

#

It is just state of mind

prisma monolith
#

Quantum lake?

covert wyvern
#

ive played around with the lake being an afterlife of sorts

#

but I've discarded those thoughts.

azure bay
azure bay
#

look, I encourage you to take more neutral position towards theories

#

It's great that you are able to see connections & prove them

#

But sometimes it's not enough to find the truth

#

So it's better to bare in mind some alternatives

cerulean crypt
#

Truth is hidden for now

#

we can just discover scraps of it

azure bay
#

sometimes there are multiple truths in fiction

#

if the piece of writing is good its meaning will be transformed with time

#

or it may have different perspectives

#

there are indeed examples of authors completely agreeing on some originally unintended interpretations

#

talking about interpretations, most of them are pretty durable

#

the objective facts can always be interpreted in many subjective ways

#

some facts may be declared unimportant for reasons

#

so it's always difficult to agree on something

#

so the best we can do is trying to understand why people take one side or another in these discussions

#

& being able to do the same as well just in case they are right

cerulean crypt
#

What form Dale will take?

#

And why?

vague imp
#

I think deer due to the white door ngl..XD

covert wyvern
#

Deer due to paradox.

vague imp
#

Same boat sort of

covert wyvern
#

ye

#

basically Dale's depicted with a deer head

cerulean crypt
#

Why in paradox it wil be deer?

#

Deer skull?

covert wyvern
#

have you played paradox? his deer form is quite literally depicted there on several occassions.

vague imp
#

he wore a deer mask in TWD if i recall

cerulean crypt
#

I play Paradox, but i don't realise that Deer is only animal seen in forest

azure bay
vague imp
#

maybe

stable wigeon
#

wow reading about samsura everything makes so much more sense lol

#

except

#

is Dale the only one we see that is able to reach dev

astral frost
#

Mr Owl is the actual Deva

#

Dale is the next one

cerulean crypt
#

But why Mr. Owl looks for new one? Is his power running out? Maybe it was the reason why Hotel guest CS escaped

stable wigeon
#

He doesnt look all that different than the asura

#

altho tbh

#

i find it interesting that all of the hotel staff (besides harvey) are carnivores and all the guests are herbivores

#

but i never thought that had any meaning

#

but liek idk he doesnt stick out from them rlly outside from the time he made a spontaneous thunderstorm

#

also is the samsara eternal? I kinda thought it was but in this game it seems like its possible to be trapped in a state forever

#

aka hell

stable wigeon
real lantern
#

I do think that samsara is eternal, it may take billions and bilions of years but one day the wheel of life shall turn

astral frost
#

The term samsara indicates the whole process of death and reincarnation through the various stages

#

So the eternity of Samsara is not related only to the singular stages, but to the succession of them

cerulean crypt
#

And in game someona can push Samsara forward and rebirth faster

astral frost
#

Yes, exactly

#

Apparently, it's the only way you can escape the Corrupted Soul stage

#

You have to do something actively

cerulean crypt
#

Or someone do it for you

#

Like Dale drinking green vial

astral frost
#

Well, Dale participated in the whole process of finding a way out of Paradox Room

#

So he did something, anyhow

cerulean crypt
#

He make him lost himself to save Laura/Willliam

#

Also Laura tryied to do something in seasons

astral frost
#

Yep

cerulean crypt
#

She use thinks from past to destroy herself in the past?

#

I think it is what we do in Seasons

astral frost
#

Well

#

When I reflect about Seasons, I tread very carefully since is one of the oldest games

#

What's more, it looks like very simbolic

#

So not everything is simple to understand about it

cerulean crypt
#

I don't tell it is simple

astral frost
#

But, in general, she made something to escape her Corrupted Soul stage

cerulean crypt
#

We see her destroying CS

#

With the phone

astral frost
#

Yes, but the telephone it's like a metaphor in that case

cerulean crypt
#

Methapore of what?

astral frost
#

The telephone it's just the last part of the machine in the last room (winter 1981)

#

It is connected with those glass cylinders

#

Where you put the substances of the previous memories

#

So we could say that she managed to return a Human by "balancing the substance of her past lifes"

cerulean crypt
#

Balance the substance of my past life

astral frost
#

Yep

cerulean crypt
#

But we see CS killing her in Paradox

astral frost
#

Is it another metaphor? I think it's possible

#

Well

#

Wait

#

Metaphor is not the correct word

cerulean crypt
#

But we also see Dale killing her

#

So CS of someone can live outside his body?

astral frost
#

So

#

2 things

#

The first one: I'm very sure that Corrupted Souls aren't something like the souls of the humans

cerulean crypt
#

Why not?

astral frost
#

They are always depicted as one of the stages of the wheel, detached from the Human one

cerulean crypt
#

In mill we see what creates CS

#

Extracting memories

astral frost
#

In the Mill, Laura BECOMES a CS

#

There isn't any CS exiting from her body

cerulean crypt
#

'cuz Crow extracted memories from her

astral frost
#

Yes

#

SO, CS aren't souls as we always consider them

#

Not something that is part of our body

#

Then

#

The second thing is

#

Paradox is a loop where Dale tries and re-tries, until he reaches one of the established outcomes (probably established by Mr Owl)

cerulean crypt
#

But what is paradoxal part?

astral frost
#

So the finale where Dale becomes finally a CS and kills Laura isn't the "right one"

#

That ending means that, if Dale will become a CS, the whole plan of Mr Owl will fail, and also Laura won't be saved

cerulean crypt
#

Maybe it is the paradox, Dale try to save her , but he also kills Woman

astral frost
#

BUT

#

It isn't the planned ending

#

And , until Dale won't understand it, he'll remain in the loop

cerulean crypt
#

But when he drinks green vial he must kill the crow to go forward

astral frost
#

No wait

cerulean crypt
#

and this ended losing Dale

astral frost
#

Laura's death is in the blue or red vial finale

#

The green vial is in another one

cerulean crypt
#

Yes but this is when we saw ending where Woman surviwes

astral frost
#

Ok, about the green vial ending

#

I think it represent the possible choice of drinking the elixir of life and death

#

Since that vial is green like the elixir

#

In fact, Dale and Laura represent a couple: Dale dies, Laura will become enlightened

#

BUT

#

It seems this isn't the canonical ending, even if it's the perfect starting point of a multiple timeline

cerulean crypt
#

The canonical is gold cube ending?

astral frost
#

Yes

#

Something more than the reiteration of the elixir ritual

#

Mr Owl understood that the elixir wasn't enough

#

So he planned something different for Dale

#

What we can say right now is that his plan was waiting for Dale in the Hotel

cerulean crypt
#

This is why Mr.Owl reviwes Harvey?
To help Dale?

astral frost
#

Idk anything about Harvey, unless he was very close to Mr Owl

cerulean crypt
#

Harvey "served" the guests in Hotel

astral frost
#

We could even think that he was used as a spy in order to control what Laura did during her life

#

But nothing more of that

#

It's still a mistery

cerulean crypt
#

Did you hear that Harvey is trans?

astral frost
#

Yes hahaha

#

It's a famous discussion

cerulean crypt
#

I regret doing this

real lantern
#

Age old tale

astral frost
#

Exactly

#

But I think it doesn't matter

real lantern
#

Its been out there since hotel came out i think lmao

astral frost
#

The biological gender of a character doesn't matter in Rusty Lake

vague imp
#

it be like that.XD

astral frost
#

Since William became Laura

cerulean crypt
#

Can we stop?

covert wyvern
#

it may be news to you, but it is not news to the rest of the community. lmao.

#

@cerulean crypt why? you're literally the one to bring it up.

real lantern
#

Yeah, but its just funny to see what we were so preocupied about a few years ago hahaha

covert wyvern
#

if you don't want to discuss things you shouldn't bring em up lmao.

astral frost
#

What's more, I wouldn't sat that Harvey is transgender

#

If Harvey can lay eggs in its Animal form, she's a female

cerulean crypt
real lantern
#

The most widely accepted theory (atleast to my knoledge) is that humanoid harvey is male, but bird harvey is female

cerulean crypt
#

Can we talk about money?

#

Only 3 of Vanderbooms do some kind of job

#

Ida, Sam and Leonard

Where they money come from

It means that I agree with you

bc its a video game

we dont have do see everything ngl

cerulean crypt

Also did every Vanderboom is deaf and blind?

astral frost
#

Why?

cerulean crypt
#

James didin't see body falling out from clock

#

Anyone notices opening cabinets, windows or anything

I think he saw it when he woke up hahahah

cerulean crypt

William do many interacions with thinks around
NO ONE notices, no one except Rosee

We see mosquito boi eat

cerulean crypt

We are Human in paradise

real lantern

His blood sugar level was low

astral frost

HAHAHAHAHA

cerulean crypt
#

Also Matchboxes in game are really big

#

did that mean something?

#

I try to measure Mr Rabbit height using scaled matchboxes

#

And something is wrong

real lantern
#

How tall would he be?

cerulean crypt
astral frost
#

HAHAHAHAHHA

real lantern
#

a

cerulean crypt
#

75 cm

real lantern
#

Short boi

astral frost
#

Make @cerulean crypt mod please

covert wyvern
#

No.

cerulean crypt
#

No

real lantern
#

No

astral frost
#

No

covert wyvern
#

also I'm gonna assume the matchboxes aren't a very good item to pixel measure with

cerulean crypt
#

Why not?

covert wyvern
#

when Rabbit ends up at 75cm.

cerulean crypt
#

Perspective is a thing i think

#

But maybe using a lenght of barrel of tommygun will work

real lantern
#

Maybe something that appears on most games, hearts?

cerulean crypt
#

Matches also are in most games

#

but Hearts have diffrent size

#

Or maybe Winyl disc

covert wyvern
#

I also don't quite see how the characters height matter but thats okay

somber anvil
#

there's a picture with the rabbit in a door, wouldn't be possible to use the size of a door to guess his height ?

cerulean crypt
#

I don't matter

#

IDK why i wan't to measure it

#

Just for something

real lantern
#

I mean, it doesnt matter, but its always fun to know lmao

covert wyvern
#

fair!

cerulean crypt
#

Rabbit has a tommy gun with compensator so that mean it has 30 cm lenght

real lantern
#

Ah, i love quora

covert wyvern
#

Do realise the date of birthday when taking that into account 😉

real lantern
#

True... sadge

cerulean crypt
#

Using that, Mr. Rabbit is around 170 cm

covert wyvern
#

avg. height would make sense tbh

cerulean crypt
#

This make more sense than 75 cm

#

but is still short

covert wyvern
#

how so?

real lantern
#

Its not that short

cerulean crypt
#

I am taller than him!

real lantern
#

Ive seen people around 160

cerulean crypt
#

And i am not really tall

covert wyvern
#

so? he was born in the 20th century lmao

real lantern
#

Im 180

covert wyvern
#

and or 19th

#

I dunno.

#

eitherway people were just shorter back then!

cerulean crypt
#

So he is around 170 that makes sense right?

real lantern
#

Yep

cerulean crypt
#

So we can now mesure mr.Crow

stable wigeon
#

so samsura IS chronological?

real lantern
#

I tried to find the medium doorway size of doors in the netherlands in 1938 and all i found were trade deals about automatic garage door openers

cerulean crypt
#

1939, and we don't have proof where it takes place

astral frost
real lantern
astral frost
#

Samsara isn't chronological

#

It's just a succession of stages

#

But it isn't related to precise dates or moments

#

Idk if I understood correctly

somber anvil
#

Oh damn you guys are fun

cerulean crypt
#

Actualy no, Mr Rabbit is shorter than 170 cm (without ears)

somber anvil
#

is there a picture with Mr Rabbit and other characters next to him ?

cerulean crypt
#

Only with Dale Parent

#

But i Calculated that Mr.Rabbit is around 170 cm

#

He also shows up in Paradox so wa can compare him to Mr.Crow

real lantern
#

Also, he might be a bit taller considering the angle of the gun

#

And he seems to be kind of slouching

cerulean crypt
#

Angle will make him shorter

#

Becouse of angle we will fill less Barrels in his height

real lantern
#

Considering the angle it would make him be actualy taller, considering things look shorter at an angle

#

So the gun barrels would be longer

cerulean crypt
#

That will decrease a number that we will multiplicate barrel lenght

#

He is shorter than 170 cm

#

Mr.Rabbit (without ears )is short boi

real lantern
#

Turns out im the fool

cerulean crypt
#

Geometry can be comfusing

stable wigeon
# astral frost What do you mean?

i was referring to they are indeed in a particular order. I ask this because the wheel I see time and time again doesnt make sense in that order

#

not only that but

#

if you have to go through the wheel doesnt that mean that you have to be a deva at some point

#

nm that last part

#

but like for example harvey seemed to jump straight from asura to animal

#

and for Laura, Dale, and Bob

cerulean crypt
#

He was revired by mr.owl

stable wigeon
#

we see all of them turn into corrupted souls

cerulean crypt
#

So maybe this is reason why he jumped

stable wigeon
#

but what about cps

#

cps in the wheel seem to come after asura

cerulean crypt
#

Mr.Owl Intervention cause that Harvey jump from CS stage of wheel

stable wigeon
#

im talki about humans rn

#

especially laura and bob who became corrupted souls

cerulean crypt
#

Also William was Human-Cs-Human-CS nothing else, why?

stable wigeon
#

well I know william was forced into it

#

with a lot of sacrifice he forced himself

#

into human

#

but it seems like cp comes after human

cerulean crypt
#

What else he can became?

stable wigeon
#

cp hes another example

#

of why the wheel doesnt seem to be in the right order
