Wasn't just deer. Remember that even Mr. Rabbit went against him at some point.
did they all remember their past
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
I think you need to meet certain conditions in order to keep access to memories of your past life. Laura is depicted to still have William's memories. For some reason, she's unable to see them
yea i was under impression owl was. only one that has
Mr Crow is the same
o right
Hmm
I've also got that impression
I seriously want a game from the perspective of Mr Owl
Who has now given up the mantle of the Owl mask
why were the guys at the hotel so oblivous to getting murdered lol
only makes sense they dont have their memories
Well Harvey was just "a servant" remember?
They never expected him to be lethal anyway
yea ig
Kinda like modern Room service
They would notice the other guests being suspiciously gone
true they seem to just be stupid
Hmmm that is there though
maybe just ignorant
same difference lol
If they knew their previous deeds they'd expect some kind of revenge & be vigilant
I think, not that personal
He was the winner after all
yea right
Guy has a God syndrome
or there's something more dangerous
Aight bye
Hmmm
I'm also interested how Dale would turn out as the new Mr. Owl
I expect him to become Deer
birthday
may I try convincing you in otherwise?
- In Case 23 Dale was going down. In BD & Theatre he was going upwards.
- 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
- In The Cave there's a mural depicting Dale's descend to the lake bottom & his travel to the big white cube
- 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
- The elevator he's going up in is similar to the one we see in Hotel
- 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
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
It could be. This would be a change never happened just like for Dale.
My idea was that for now it's difficult to prove any pov I presented back then. You may bring out some proofs but these may be perceived in a different way by others so it becomes a question not about the objective truth but rather its interpretations.
Right, Is also hard think that the devs "ended" this fantastic story just at the beginning.
For me this Seasons game looks a lot like an independent story all in itself. With its own complete arc.
These probably completeness was required in order to please the very first players, as something as unfinished as Case 23 would probably scare them away & everything wouldn't be that popular
Yeah, maybe Laura's corrupted soul changed the past just like Dale did. And so, she didn't really, but only in her mind.
I realy think i read somewhere that they had the story set after "the lake" but i just cant seem to find the source...
what part of the story?
Yes, for someone, Lake Is to play before seasons.
that's not the point
The Lake Is in the Summer 1964, before the evening we play in seasons.
the Lake is in 1969
Yeah, Sorry!
between spring 1964 & summer 1971
My mistake.
np
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
I also read that, i think in the Wiki.
There are different branches of the story. It's hard to imagine that all of them were thought-through in details
It's even more likely that some newer ideas would grow on the older ones
like the golden cube
I mean, yeah but.... man would that make stuff easier
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
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?
oh no! that guy has found us!
😁
you
us
Why u caleed me "that guy'?
We've met on reddit
if you'd pay attention to usernames you would've known right away 😉
maybe multiple of them. maybe even not of the same species
the lake was full of surprises
I don't know, in Paradise there are plagues, and i don't think they could have this Power.
But Who knows...
who are u talking about?
About this ipothetical Monster.
there are many unexpected or weird creatures in the lake. Most of them are seen in The Cave
Would we talk about that horrible thing with human legs?
that's one of them
Also , if lake is named rusty, that mean the soil and rocs have iron, why there is no mine then?
I think, the Lake Is called in that way, because during the night it dye Red, like Rusty iron.
maybe there is. It doesn't have to be in the closest proximity
We see that in hotel.
Also it may be algea, but i don't think there are that kind of alge in canada
usually red things are actually rusty. Mars, for example
Right.
Or maybe, It could be the Lake itself.
How?
Someone (like me) thinks that the Lake Is something like a supernatural entity, that would explain the plagues in Paradise.
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
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
rock by rock?
You can move buildings from one country to another
IDK how but it is possible
would people bother that much with moving heavy rocks if they were in abundance on the place of destinaton
IDK, but moving building is a fact
what age are you talking about?
ah, I guess I get what you mean
In roots we can see when it first is sean
I think Canada, because there are lots of lakes. Also, the pines in all the scenarios seems be part of a cold Place. And Leonard, in Roots, moved immediatly in war, thing that USA did in 1917.
Leonard wear british uniform
Canadian arnmy also use british uniform
no, not every building is easy to move. I've seen only residential buildings being moved & only because they didn't have foundation dug into the soil
if you have evidence from the past, I'll be glad to admit myself being wrong
From my knowlege
Wang temple was moved from Norway to Poland
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
Maybe, Rusty Lake Is in the North of England!
Maybe if you take many immigrants, and they wan't something from they country
I'd rather believe in them building a new chapel from the scratch
It is still posible
possible & plausible are different things
But that wouldn't explain the date.
why not?
that would if the original chapel was built then
In the 1300?
If it was moved from europe it explains
But it is possible
Yes.
the lake shall forever just be a subspace bubble that can be accessed all over the world 
It can also be just a state of mind
Every street take to the Lake!
maybe the lake is just in a different plane of existence
but the fish is real
well maybe the fish swam into it
From what i find it can be Golden redhorse or Roach
different plane doesnt have to mean alien.
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?
many here believe the lake being located in Canada. The date on the chapel predates the colonization period
Ah, got it
At this point, it just makes more sense to me that the lake would be located somewhere in northern Europe
Actualy why many people tell that town has no name
Why we can't use Dark Town name??
because the whole globe is a metaphor for Laura's or Dale's life-path (depends on the chapter) & all geographical names are just references to the crucial events of their lives
Ohh ok, i know that the globe map aren't real map
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.
I also think that it is the town
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.
The theater has no way being located in the lake's proximity. Otherwise Dale would be a fool, considering his inability to find the lake
The lake seems to actually be hidden from wider awareness somehow, as Dale was unable to easily find it during his initial investigations. As such, if there's a town near it, it would be pretty secluded.
it would be easily hidden if it was a minor location abroad
it even takes Hoorn's daughter to take a plane to get to the lake from that very city
But why It should be hidden? If the Lake Is hard top reach It wouldn't have all those tourists.
There is hotel on the lake
this hotel seems to be not for humans
What tourists are you talking about?
And the hotel isn't really for tourists, it seems more specialized for Mr. Owl's purposes.
any hypothetical tourists, I guess
that would go there hiking, for example
Let me explain.
there is fishing cabin on the lake
the one where a whole elevator is hidden?
Yes
and what's your message here?
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.
Id like to second this motion^
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.
If the lake was situated in the middle of nowhere, no such power would be required
The problem with this is Dale's apparent difficulty finding the lake. You could be right, but it feels like there could be something more.
we definitely have James, Mary, Ida and Leonard freely entering or leaving the location
oh
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.
Ida seems to be just a wandering fortune teller
We also have the more recent example
Kirsten Hoorn
yeah, now that I think about it, that puts a bit of a fly in this theory's ointment. Maybe it is just remote, and was more well-known in the time of Roots.
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.
there could be a whole hidden society of enlightened people
The idea that it's a location that has somewhat fallen from grace in recent times kinda makes sense, as it went from having news reports on the deaths of the Vanderbooms in Roots to being impossible to locate in Case 23.
Daily Herald are a bunch of independent newsparers
In hotel, there are 10 people. Not so much, not so low.
5 of them are dead
there are enough of asura people to keep Rabbit & Pheasant in showbis
& Boar is ambassador
so there could be even more
And the brands are gone to someone else, Who doesn't know anything.
Just gonna offer my opinion- I think their animal identities are a recent aquisition, not a whole-life thing. Mr. Crow was just "Aldous Vanderboom" before he drank the elixir, it could be a similar situation here. The identities of "Ms. Pheasant" and such could be pseudonyms.
they have posters where they don't hide their identities
no like
But they're Eilanders, they could Just pretend to be Rich.
those are the hidden identities, not their true names
But there's no evidence for this whole concept so I might as well not argue it
them being Eilanders is irrelevant for my points
the thing is that all the guests show no evidence of them remembering their past. They all seem to change their personalities since their rebirth so their older identities could be also hidden deep in their heads. The only exception is Mr. Rabbit but he could recall everything just in another life as during Birthday he seems to be reborn once more
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.
It could be just Mr. Owl to build the hotel. All the others seem to be distant from the island
But why Dale gone crazy on Laura?
But why they should forget their past? Every enlightened Remember his past.
Like Mr.Crow
we have just Jacob & Aldous. Everyone else is not confirmed
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
I don't think so, only One person can't have built that huge palace.
Remember, he has some assistants like Crow, Toad, Bat, and possibly the entire White Door organization, if it existed in any form at the time.
we don't know how did Owl get hands on his resources & connections
I think the Eilanders built tigether the hotel, and then everyone went for his way.
Yeah, but them surely happen after 1796!
But why they collect memories?
there are too many parallels & possible clues that it's impossible for me to doubt.
The main point for me is Eilanders being willing to find enlightenment in exchange of sacrifice. The sacrifice was performed so I expect them to get what they wanted
It's the lake's requirement
Mr. Boar wasn't even familiar with Owl.
& didn't know about the lake
Monster want's it YEah
What! It's Gerard!
eh, maybe. There's enough weird non-parallels, like their complete lack of memory and lack of such traits as Ms. Pheasant being blind, that I don't really believe it. And as much as people keep saying "enlightenment makes you lose memories", I don't think I've seen that even mentioned as a possibility in the games so far.
if we take Mr. Owl & Mr. Crow as exceptions, everything works fine
Eilanders didn't consume any form of elixir. Owl & Crow did
Dog also consume elixir
But they're the only concrete examples we have. If we act like they don't exist, we don't actually have anything at all but what we can make up and guess at.
But if the Eilanders haven't any Memories, why the mass omicide in hotel?
true
something something "balancing the lake" or "remaking paradise" or whatever, it's still very unclear
Owl required their memories about the future in order to discover who'd be his successor
And the others black cubes?
just a side effect of his master plan
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
I'm pretty sure he has no elixir. Otherwise he wouldn't make a weaker extract in The Cave just in order to maintain his powers
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.
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
as long as all the elixir particles are not gone via its digestion system
Can go bacc to lobster donkey?
I think lobster donkey is more relevant on the memes channel or smth
There is some reason why they put that in game
Depends on the context
a sound check
FOR MEMES is also a good reason
But nowheres probably right.
But still there is monster in lake
Undoubtedly. Then what?
Nothing, but what it has to do with plot
What?
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
Actualy what if lake is here where is mr.Owl?
It could be a mutant created by the lake
That wil explain how van Gogh know lake
The lake is shown to be independent. It's a form of hell from the samsara pov
Actualy, if we see broken timepiece in collecion, does that mean Dead can't be reborn?
the timepiece seems to be just an element of William's mechanism that helped him get reborn afterwards
no magic seen
But we see noone else reborning
Personally, i think that William get reicarnated because of his work to get reicarnated.
samsara is a thing in Ruasty Lake. If there was no samsara then noone would be born
William was a CS. CS are long-lasting but not eternal
So what is William goal ?
to be reborn faster
Push Samsara wheel forward?
Also Albert seems he communicate with Wiliam
& he wanted to be reborn specifically as human
He do many thing to help him'
Put he did to much to this be a coincidence
In fact, i'm so curios to know how he Will revive...
he didn't have to do anything as humans are mortal on their own
it just happened that he was poorly treated
Albert do
Wiliam earn?
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)
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.
what is "everything"?
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
I think every game, because it's not of the devs changing the POV during the game. But anyway, he waited that time.
Exactly!
Personally, i hope he will die One second After being ran over, he's a too dangerous ass****!
😂
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.
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.
that's my point
there's no need for William to do anything Vanderbooms could do on their own
btw does anyone know whats up with that picture of a forest with red fog
and the jumpscare with it in seasons
In Theatre this forest was stated to be a kind of hell. In The Cave we see this forest under the lake
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?
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
Also , in Hotel Harvey look like
this , Harvey wear a male suit
But in seasons we se Harvey laing eggs, so are there two parrots or something weird happend
There was the hidden snowglobe scene in Birthday
y'all are too stuck on gendering clothes and names 😉
Harvey is a yes
we're talking about 19th century. It was ok back then
That shows their fate after being attacked by the corrupted souls of the Hotel guests, they were transformed into a bird afterwards
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
male birds don't lay eggs
Gender/sexuality in birds is quite a bit different than a human's
do you mean instincts or roles in reproduction?
Is there two parrots or something weird happend?
For example, they don't have X or Y chromosomes, instead having Z and W
does it mean that male birds may lay eggs?
A bird could probably identify as a male and still lay eggs
Human men have gotten pregnant before (FtoM trans, but still)
So something weid happen
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
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
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
Harvey could just be a female in masculine attire
So Harvey from hotel Phiicaly isn'tharvey from CE?
controversial opinion:
Harvey is Harvey-Damy
spicey takes on the monday morning.
What that mean
it means Harvey is Harvey
But he has diffrent genders in difrent games how?
probably
Harvey is Harvey, don't speculate
William did the same
When Harvey rebirth then?
secret scene in Birthday
He changes form and escape
(looks up "bird gender") uh, all I can see is that males tend to have brighter plumage
Adolus can also change forms
he died & there was a short scene of Mr. Owl making some magic over his corpse
just before the lightbeam struck them
I have a screenshot
So this what takes William decades , Harvey do so fast?
Harvey could also be the occasional half-male half-female bird
Mr. Owl gave that boost. He's powerful, u see
it's probably easier to transform an alive being
than being reborn as a new person
ahaha
I guess only with the right ritual
transform
I want to tackle your money question @cerulean crypt so don't mind me answering it.
Ok go on
I assume, considering owls an alchemist
he simply transforms mundane things into money
¯_(ツ)_/¯
midas touch..XD?
Sems good
perhaps!
What>
Owl was NEVER confirmed to be an alchemist. Crow was
dfbm,dflmbfglkgbmg
Though, they don't have the typical plumage for that (vertical length male on one side, female on the other)
wait so
well theres is a thing called "bigender" maybe Harvey's figuring out which gender they like the most
that takes time trust me..XD
if the forest is hell does that mean thats where the CS go
now you are seemingly over-complicating stuff
and can they just visit their memories whenever they want
apparently no. There were mostly seen just local CS
maybe they dont wanna be offensive
idk if they know any trans people ever and it is a touchy subject these days ngl so you gotta dread lightly
we stan trans parrots in this server 
we do
So Harvey is trans parrot
i think im gonna make a trans rights harvey edit..XD
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.
i seen women rock suits more than men ngl..XD
agreed^but that's not relevant to this discussion ;0
oh ik just saying
but
As long as we have William's example, a sex swap during rebirth is more plausible. Plus, it's canon in Indian religions
to be blunt
although looking at the importance of harveys eggs in the series,
suits usually cant hide boobs
it's likely a plot on Mr. Owls part.
guys, come on! What are the odds of a woman wearing man clothes in 19th century?
I recently found out a lake that looks like rusty’s .Was Rusty lake based on a real one or just coincidence?
Canada ontario?
there are at least four Rusty Lakes in Canada
no no, lake bled in slovenia :0
looks like rusty’s
anyway so harvey's anthropomorphic parrot is different from the straight up parrot?
at least it reminds me of it
that's likely @stable wigeon
Ontario or manitoba
Harvey: Can you turn me into a female after I serve you the guests?
Mr. Owl: weird request, but k
i thought they were both parrots so both the same
aka i didnt think it was a reincarnation
i shall show you these
I'm not asking for examples. I'm asking for statistics
I mean, what are the odds someone creates an elixer of immortality? The clothes are way more realistic
That actually happened
"I'm asking for statistics" in a game about magical animal people 
I think you're taking this thing a bit too serious my dude.
its pretty accurate idk
Women’s sartorial liberation continued in the jazz age as women widely began wearing trousers for leisure activities,
so yes they were wearing them in the 1933s
can i send a pic?
why is this still a discussion
If Shakespearean actors (men) wore drag to portray women, then it would make sense that women wore male clothing then
I mean maybe i am really "That guy from reddit"
I'm unsure, but I'm thinking of cutting it short.
(sorry that im out of topic 😅)
we have some primary sources that may inspire devs, o we may translate some logic on the game
anyway so parrot-person isnt the same being as parrot parrot?
but yeah women did wear suits, statistics i mean i can look it up if you really need
Name and Species is the same
Look, Harvey died & the only thing Mr. Owl could do was preserving their parrot-like form. According to samsara, sex is random during rebirth.
the personality could be preserved because memories were
kind of
assuming the memories are part of the soul^ which most definitely seems to be the case in RL
doesn't have to.
Is rebirth gender really random, or did William want to shed his male body for a female's?
Not necessarily
he rolled a d20
but what tf kind of form is
bc laura was born from a "natural" pregnancy
animal-person
it's asura
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
FURRY
I've always thought of the "birth" as Rose taking Laura out of the lake
i was wondering why tf there was sanskirt in theatre
i thought i was just speculating
wow so much makes sense now
Interesting take, I hadn't considered that.
Hotel is asura?
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..
I am realy the one who start it?
We never saw Rose with a baby bump (we only saw Mary and Emma being pregnant)
timeskips exist lmao
she was kept in the clock for approximately a year
although I guess most if not all events in roots are dated.
well she did go into the clock lmao..XD
Did the branches/roots impregnate Rose?
that's not a mental image i want to think about.
lord dbmf i cant unsee thst but i guess yeah
Flower make Emma pregnant
think of it like a magical teleportation inside a womb
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
i dont think thats the image i got in my head buddy..XD
were they not?
i thought they were
The dates are approximate
also hold up speaking of roots
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
Also i wondering , there is some issue with money in games
were you previously implying that harvey wasnt an actual parrot until AFTER his anthropomorphic form?
because that doesnt fit with her appearing in roots
In roots we se only 3 people doing some kind of job
It's the part of my proofs
Where Vanderbooms money come from?
they likely work lmao somewhere
Only Sam, Ida and Leonard do something that may be a job
who knows..XD
not politics just saying
who knows where rich families get their money
that's better.
yeah mfdbk,fd lets not.XD and who knows
aight whatevs
Sam was Carpenter, Ida fortune teller, Leonard was Solidier
Sam's a carpenter and Ida's a fortune teller, but maybe a lot of the finances come from inheritances?
What about anyone else
I can see Leonard being a mechanic after he returned from the war, he seems do be into tinkering with vehicles n such
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?
nah.
Can we bacc to money?
Why couldn't they have a passive income of a kind?
go ahead. my scolding is done ;p
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
The house looks nice, maybe they invested in real estate?
If that was a thing back then
Like we only see 3 Vanderbooms working
could be a few trhings; everything is dirt cheap
they grow most of their own supply somewhere
or passive income / inheritance
Recession?
I know that it really impacted the whole world, but how bad was it in the Netherlands?
i dunno dont live there lol
Vanderbooms live in UK or in Canada
Assuming the lake is its own entity not connected to any real state or economy
I doubt it hurt them much/
i dont think it was ever confirmed where it existed..XD
it isn't
that's why I personally see it as its own thing
even if it does have a physical location.
But Leo is british Solidier
mmm dunno lmao
I personally think showing the war was a terrible decision on RLs end.
I assume that it was somewhere in the Netherlands, since that's where the Rusty Lake studio is
Leo is british solidier
my main "reasoning" for believing the Lake is its own subspace bubble is the White Door ARG
If you look up "ww1 soldier clothes" that outfit is the most generic example
I personally believe the Lake doesn't need a location and is simply accesible.
so it really cant be used do pinpoint a country
Also, since the games have such a large English-speaking audience, it would make sense that they'd put him in English soldier clothing
well i mean English is a common used language these days
nearly everyone speaks some English
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
Rusty Lake is in Canada
we don't know that.
Vanderbooms live really close to lake
Because of the Northern flora?
Leo was british solidier
We, again, don't know that.
Oi bruv
Canadaian army also use british uniform
we theorise
you can't claim these things as fact.
no one can claim anything as fact. lmao.
only rusty lake can
Also somone said me that some charaters have cannon height? is that true?
I believe that this channel is labelled "theories" and not "things that I say are true because I analyze them to be so"
i dont think anyone has a canon height..XD
Ok , i will take step bacc
But we can measure it!
use matchbox
Matchboxes are unified
I've headcannoned all the adults in the games to be at least 5 feet tall
People in the past are usually shorter
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
once again, this is very unlikely. Just measure the distance & lack of people that would pay for it.
How about this: Rusty Lake is its own realm that cannot be mapped, you can only be summoned to it
there are literally no Christians around in 1796
It is still posible
I am pro this argument.
possible is not plausible
Oh no religion
Maybe mr Owl pay for this for some reason
Kinda like the time loops in the Peculiar Children series, except the passage of time is the same as the outer world's
that's another over-complication. I like it more tho but still. We have too little strong evidence for that
The Chapel was there before Jacob became Owl
Really?
Or the number isn't year
How do we know that it's a Christian chapel? Catholicism and Quakers were around by the late 1700's
There's a cross on the top. It's obvious on the IRL-ish shots in Paradox
Can't we just rewerse search one of that shots?
The cross is suggested to be a Pagan symbol
It also appears to be the Latin cross variant
just compare the quantity of Christians placing it on the top of their temples with the quantity of Pagans doing the same.
There are churches that aren't necessarily Christian and still use crosses (a lot of Lutheran churches I've seen use it)
Lutherans are worshiping the same god & reading the same Bible
they've just separated from Catholics
aye^
and where the catholics love using imagery, my local church still had a wooden cross.
(it was protestant)
Quantum lake?
ive played around with the lake being an afterlife of sorts
but I've discarded those thoughts.
newspapers about the events taking place there are also a mind trick?
Lake is weird
hell it is. We just don't know for sure how weird it is
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
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
I think deer due to the white door ngl..XD
Deer due to paradox.
Same boat sort of
have you played paradox? his deer form is quite literally depicted there on several occassions.
he wore a deer mask in TWD if i recall
I play Paradox, but i don't realise that Deer is only animal seen in forest
it was Bob's fever dream, so that could be the actual Dale's future form
maybe
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
But why Mr. Owl looks for new one? Is his power running out? Maybe it was the reason why Hotel guest CS escaped
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
I think it has to do with the elixir running out but im not sure
I do think that samsara is eternal, it may take billions and bilions of years but one day the wheel of life shall turn
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
And in game someona can push Samsara forward and rebirth faster
Yes, exactly
Apparently, it's the only way you can escape the Corrupted Soul stage
You have to do something actively
Well, Dale participated in the whole process of finding a way out of Paradox Room
So he did something, anyhow
He make him lost himself to save Laura/Willliam
Also Laura tryied to do something in seasons
Yep
She use thinks from past to destroy herself in the past?
I think it is what we do in Seasons
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
I don't tell it is simple
But, in general, she made something to escape her Corrupted Soul stage
Yes, but the telephone it's like a metaphor in that case
Methapore of what?
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"
Balance the substance of my past life
Yep
But we see CS killing her in Paradox
Is it another metaphor? I think it's possible
Well
Wait
Metaphor is not the correct word
So
2 things
The first one: I'm very sure that Corrupted Souls aren't something like the souls of the humans
Why not?
They are always depicted as one of the stages of the wheel, detached from the Human one
'cuz Crow extracted memories from her
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)
But what is paradoxal part?
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
Maybe it is the paradox, Dale try to save her , but he also kills Woman
The impossibility of save Laura, in that case, is shown as the famous scene of a CS killing her because it shows us that it's Dale's responsibilty of what would happen in that case
BUT
It isn't the planned ending
And , until Dale won't understand it, he'll remain in the loop
But when he drinks green vial he must kill the crow to go forward
No wait
and this ended losing Dale
Yes but this is when we saw ending where Woman surviwes
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
The canonical is gold cube ending?
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
This is why Mr.Owl reviwes Harvey?
To help Dale?
Idk anything about Harvey, unless he was very close to Mr Owl
Harvey "served" the guests in Hotel
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
Did you hear that Harvey is trans?
I regret doing this
Age old tale
Its been out there since hotel came out i think lmao
The biological gender of a character doesn't matter in Rusty Lake
it be like that.XD
Since William became Laura
Can we stop?
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.
Yeah, but its just funny to see what we were so preocupied about a few years ago hahaha
if you don't want to discuss things you shouldn't bring em up lmao.
What's more, I wouldn't sat that Harvey is transgender
If Harvey can lay eggs in its Animal form, she's a female
I don't know that, Sorry for my dubnes
The most widely accepted theory (atleast to my knoledge) is that humanoid harvey is male, but bird harvey is female
Can we talk about money?
Only 3 of Vanderbooms do some kind of job
Ida, Sam and Leonard
Where they money come from
who knows lol
¯_(ツ)_/¯
+1
+1 what.XD
Ahahahha
Also did every Vanderboom is deaf and blind?
Why?
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
William do many interacions with thinks around
NO ONE notices, no one except Rosee
We are Human in paradise
His blood sugar level was low
HAHAHAHAHA
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
How tall would he be?
HAHAHAHAHHA
a
75 cm
Short boi
Make @cerulean crypt mod please
No.
No
No
No
also I'm gonna assume the matchboxes aren't a very good item to pixel measure with
Why not?
when Rabbit ends up at 75cm.
Perspective is a thing i think
But maybe using a lenght of barrel of tommygun will work
Maybe something that appears on most games, hearts?
Matches also are in most games
but Hearts have diffrent size
Or maybe Winyl disc
I also don't quite see how the characters height matter but thats okay
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 ?
I mean, it doesnt matter, but its always fun to know lmao
fair!
Rabbit has a tommy gun with compensator so that mean it has 30 cm lenght
Ah, i love quora
Do realise the date of birthday when taking that into account 😉
True... sadge
avg. height would make sense tbh
how so?
Its not that short
I am taller than him!
Ive seen people around 160
And i am not really tall
so? he was born in the 20th century lmao
Im 180
So he is around 170 that makes sense right?
Yep
So we can now mesure mr.Crow
so samsura IS chronological?
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
1939, and we don't have proof where it takes place
What do you mean?
I think they're talking about this
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
Oh damn you guys are fun
Actualy no, Mr Rabbit is shorter than 170 cm (without ears)
is there a picture with Mr Rabbit and other characters next to him ?
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
Also, he might be a bit taller considering the angle of the gun
And he seems to be kind of slouching
Angle will make him shorter
Becouse of angle we will fill less Barrels in his height
Considering the angle it would make him be actualy taller, considering things look shorter at an angle
So the gun barrels would be longer
That will decrease a number that we will multiplicate barrel lenght
He is shorter than 170 cm
Mr.Rabbit (without ears )is short boi
Turns out im the fool
Geometry can be comfusing
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
He was revired by mr.owl
we see all of them turn into corrupted souls
So maybe this is reason why he jumped
Mr.Owl Intervention cause that Harvey jump from CS stage of wheel
Also William was Human-Cs-Human-CS nothing else, why?
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
What else he can became?
Mr.Owl -Destroyer of Samsara wheel
This is exact, there isn't a specified order
Even if CS are often reborn as Humans
Or Humans who reach enlightenment become Demigods
I would rather say that we haven't enough informations to decide if there is a particular order of the stages
Demigods=Asuras
thats what I thought lol
But it's possible
Actualy a wheel in Theatre makes no sense
but i was lookinf at the wheel
I wouldn't exclude that possibility
this is what im talking about
also in cave
Oh now I got it
