#

Lake is a creature?

#

WHAT

floral mauve
#

idk need more evidence

#

but flying fish definatly exists

cerulean crypt
#

Lake monster also

floral mauve
#

I have my evidence

#

you need to provide more

cerulean crypt
#

We see that monster in CE Cave

#

And in Devs page

floral mauve
#

what monster

cerulean crypt
#

Giant one

floral mauve
#

?

azure bay
azure bay
floral mauve
#

oops daddy is home

cerulean crypt
#

How many giant creatures can lake hold?

floral mauve
azure bay
cerulean crypt
#

But there is at least one

azure bay
floral mauve
#

yes

#

big future mind

astral frost
#

What's more, those aren't probably "the monsters of the Lake", but just its normal inhabitants

azure bay
#

But that doesn't mean anything. You shouldn't rely on my authority

floral mauve
#

idc flying fish god is realllll

cerulean crypt
#

Normal inhibitand half a size of hotel?

floral mauve
#

and killed by Dale

#

Dale killed a god

#

god slayer Dale

azure bay
cerulean crypt
#

Dale is Nithce

astral frost
floral mauve
#

like quite god

azure bay
#

Fish is not a god

floral mauve
#

so if a flying fish is deva

#

is a god

#

a normal fish is an animal

astral frost
#

Clear

floral mauve
#

but we are talking about the great flying fish

cerulean crypt
#

That one that died in mouse trap?

#

and a bear trap?

floral mauve
#

no one can defeat flying fish god except the mouse trap

azure bay
#

"A fish & a parrot" play was about animals. "The Mill" one was about gods & Owl played Dale's role then

floral mauve
#

the great rival

#

but in the end of the play

cerulean crypt
#

The bear trap defeted that fish

floral mauve
#

the fish shines the holy light

cerulean crypt
#

ANd then Frank eat it

floral mauve
#

and flies

#

flying fish god exists

#

I knew it

cerulean crypt
#

MONSTER GOD ALSO EIST

#

AND IT IS BIGGER

#

MONSTER IS THE SOUL OF LAKE

#

LAKE IS POWERFUL AS GOD

azure bay
astral frost
#

That would be cool hahaha

floral mauve
#

flying fish god is unstoppable

#

but Dale

#

thats why Mr Owl chose him

#

as the replacement

#

he is the god slayer

#

god hunter

cerulean crypt
#

Dale is like Nietzsche
he killed god

floral mauve
#

Mr Owl knew even if he become the great flying fish god, Dale can still kill him

#

thats why the future mind gave up

#

just give this man the place

astral frost
#

Back to "reality", the flying fish appears only in memories which floated in the Lake, and have been modified by it

cerulean crypt
#

So maybe this is why Dale is Ihtiophobe?

astral frost
floral mauve
#

why cant flyign fish god exists

astral frost
azure bay
#

Returning to Laura & her corruption.

There is no objective reason to take her differently. We have too little batch to make conclusions about her uniqueness.

There is no evidence that she's a fake human neither.

There is no evidence that it would even affect her corruption.

What's more, there is evidence that Owl sees Laura's corruption just any other one. He admits her possible corruption due to unwise use of the machine & in Theatre he teaches Dale the same on Bob's example like it's all completely normal

floral mauve
#

beard duck vs flying fish god

floral mauve
azure bay
#

It was young crow

floral mauve
#

duck

#

and baby crow

#

are the same

astral frost
azure bay
azure bay
floral mauve
#

Laura is different due to the mill machine

astral frost
#

This could mean that they didn't know William was reborn into Laura(?)

floral mauve
#

normal CS is based on the black cube

azure bay
floral mauve
#

but Laura is directly an outlayer of CS

cerulean crypt
#

Actualy why Mr.Crow don't recognze body in CE mill?

cerulean crypt
#

That body belong to his brother

floral mauve
#

at that time

cerulean crypt
#

reborn

#

But he sometimes watches Vanderbooms

#

So he could know

astral frost
#

But right now all the games are canon

floral mauve
cerulean crypt
#

possibly Mr.Crow interact with Albert

floral mauve
#

probably

#

but Mr Crow cant see William neither

azure bay
floral mauve
#

he didnt know the reborn plan

azure bay
azure bay
floral mauve
#

Mr Crow

cerulean crypt
#

But Mr>Crow makes step that lead to reborn of william

#

He makes James go to mansion and grow tree

azure bay
floral mauve
#

He must have been busy working at the reception

cerulean crypt
#

But there was an accident

floral mauve
#

and bar tender

#

Mr Crow is hard working

azure bay
#

He doesn't have to work there full-time

floral mauve
#

he even do the extraction machine

#

whereas Mr Owl is just sitting there smoking

#

sometimes just goes to TWD left Mr Crow

#

worst partner ever

cerulean crypt
#

WE don't know if they are partners or Boss-worker

floral mauve
#

I think until the point of the Cave took place

#

Mr Crow definately knows Laura is William

#

he didnt know it at the begining

azure bay
#

I'm pretty sure William's rebirth was planed before the elixir was ready to drink

astral frost
#

Or the rebirth of everyone would have died in that moment

cerulean crypt
#

Mr.Crow make rebirth posiible

royal notch
azure bay
#

It could be after

#

We don't know what could happen in 3+ month between The Mill & The Cave

cerulean crypt
#

So Dale sits in Parado for over 3 months?

azure bay
#

this time period is weird tho

#

Dale spent 3 months either in the elevator or inside the room & didn't regrow his beard

royal notch
# azure bay It could be after

Yes, in the mill we see her disappear, but i want to think that Aldous know who Laura is really. I think he convinced her to come to the cube with a lie, i think it's hard capture and lock a corrupted soul.

azure bay
#

you'd better have proofs in these cases

royal notch
#

I never called you a liar. Emma_Cry I'm Sorry if i've wrote bad.

azure bay
#

No, I'm about Crow

royal notch
#

Yes.

#

I'm not calling anyone a liar, but i think that he needed to attract Laura's corrupted soul in the cube.

azure bay
#

I'd rather tend to believe that Laura disappeared in an unknown direction & some time after captured by an unknown mean

#

lie could be an option

#

but it also could be not

#

any other way has the same probability since we have no data

royal notch
#

Yes, i know, so what's the problem?

azure bay
#

you are narrowing your set of options

#

become biased & decrease your objectivity

royal notch
#

They're just MY theories.

azure bay
#

the part about Crow lying is more an assumption than a theory, as it is not based on any evidence (as far as I can tell). Are you ok with that?

royal notch
#

Yep.

azure bay
#

may I ask you about your reasons to theorize in that way & your goals?

royal notch
#

It doesn't affect the story anyway, it's just an assumption as you said, sorry if i mistake the lexicon. I just think that the corrupted souls aren't creatures so easy to lock and drive somewhere (in the mill, she had been able to free herself by the chain).After the mill, she disappear somewhere, but she's one of the most important pieces of the plan. So i prefer think that Aldous attracts her in the cube with a lie, to avoid some risks. I don't know how Aldous commmunicated with her, maybe after the mill he found her somewhere. That's just an explaination for me ti explain why we see one corrupted soul trapped somewhere (talking about Hotel, the guests' corrupted souls could have been freed immediatly after the cube extraction, that Mr Owl can have done where he wanted.).

#

The lie could have been that the machine in the cube would had been able to change her past, maybe.

azure bay
#

I was asking more about your strategy of theorizing

#

& what you expect to eventually reach with it

#

@royal notch

royal notch
azure bay
#

generally

royal notch
#

Well, i start thinking with the normal logic, then if it doesn't work anyway i try to add some magic of this universe, but always following the scheme cause-effect. And only the magic we have seen far now, without adding nothing too strange.

azure bay
#

alright

#

remind me please do you believe Seasons being Laura's type of Paradox?

#

@royal notch

royal notch
#

But there is literally ANYTHING ti support that.

azure bay
#

I'm just pretty sure that it takes place in the very end of the timeline

#

long after Dale's journey finished

royal notch
#

Yes, but as i said, i would think about only one timeline. It would be only a little bit complicated thinking about so many parallel universes to left behind.

floral mauve
#

others are just assumptions

azure bay
floral mauve
royal notch
floral mauve
#

he wasnt there to see William reborn

azure bay
#

He's at least expected to know something about that since he cooperated William

floral mauve
#

but He didnt know Laura is William otherwise he wouldnt ruthlessly hang her

#

and didnt call her CS name William

azure bay
azure bay
royal notch
#

But they're enlighteneds, they surely know whatever they want.

floral mauve
#

the only evidence we have is that by the time of cave, Aldous definatly knows Laura is William

azure bay
floral mauve
royal notch
azure bay
floral mauve
#

Nah, otherwsie why didnt Mr Crow show up when Laura was born

#

and brutally murder Rose

#

or something like that

royal notch
#

Wait, what?

azure bay
floral mauve
#

I think he just miss the moment

azure bay
#

it's confirmed now to take place mostly near the lake

floral mauve
royal notch
floral mauve
#

not after he hung her and extract the memory

#

He didnt even call Laura brother before

azure bay
azure bay
floral mauve
#

if you see Aldous talk to William

azure bay
#

as most of reborn do

floral mauve
#

he always call him brother

royal notch
azure bay
floral mauve
#

but you see, when Aldous talked with Laura CS

#

he could have called him brother

#

or Laura

#

but didnt

royal notch
#

But it's LAURA'S CORRUPTED SOUL, not WILLIAM'S!

#

She doesn't remember.

azure bay
#

she had no personality at all

floral mauve
#

another thing is that

#

Aldous never hide anything from William

#

he always tells him mostly what he will do

#

for example

#

he wont say some random shit like you know what to do to William

#

He is quite open towards William

#

which is surprising

azure bay
royal notch
#

But after Samsara room, that corrupted soul isn't William anymore!

floral mauve
#

I doubt he trust Mr Owl completely

azure bay
floral mauve
#

I have another assumption

#

it is likely that Mr Owl stopped Mr Crow

#

to interact with Laura

royal notch
azure bay
#

Laura's cubes still contain the elixir formula

floral mauve
#

*takes frog out of the pants

royal notch
#

But she's unable to recall them.

floral mauve
#

evidence

#

or explaination

#

I think if Mr Crow and Owl interact with her, they must have a way to do it

#

one way or another

royal notch
azure bay
floral mauve
#

yes

#

but memories are still stored in the brain

#

need to be activated

azure bay
floral mauve
#

which Mr Owl might be able to do it

azure bay
#

Neither Owl has to now that

floral mauve
azure bay
#

she seemed failing

royal notch
#

Yes.

floral mauve
azure bay
floral mauve
#

look that baby duck or pigeon

#

you can see through his traumatizing experience

azure bay
#

ok, creating painful memories & extracting them is not the same

floral mauve
#

I know

#

but that bird definatly has black cube inside it

azure bay
#

everyone has

#

more or less

floral mauve
#

we dont know if animal counts

#

is that bird a normal animal?

azure bay
floral mauve
#

no animal in hotel is normal animal

azure bay
#

I don't see any reason for animals not to have memories

floral mauve
#

true

#

but enough to make a cube?

azure bay
#

cubes are memories. They may contain just 1 or all of them at once

floral mauve
#

a gold fish doesnt even rememer shit

#

onlyif we test it by using the way Ms pigeon did

azure bay
floral mauve
#

idk

#

perhaps

royal notch
azure bay
#

I doubt it

floral mauve
#

they even thought about flying fish god

azure bay
#

I even doubt William being the thing during The Mill

#

they seem to build the origins on a go

#

& to create a ton of plot holes we're trying to cover

floral mauve
#

perhaps you dont need Mill to extract memories

#

or CS doesnt need its memories to be extracted to form

#

look at Caroline

#

she is high as f

azure bay
#

& William

#

& Bob

#

& van Gogh

#

& partly Dale

#

& perhaps the guests

floral mauve
#

he is the eraser

#

no wonder why he killed the flying fish god

azure bay
#

don't you seriously believe in that? It used to be funny but now it makes me worry

royal notch
#

Me too.Frank_Laugh

floral mauve
#

but he used his hands to take out ppls memoriy!

#

he is a beast!

#

with bare hands

azure bay
#

Theatre is one of the most surreal games

#

just behind Paradox

floral mauve
#

and even in case 23

#

just grab a cube outta nowhere

azure bay
#

In Case 23 he asked Bob for a cube

floral mauve
#

or he takes it from him as he approaches to the window

#

thats why Dale is so important!

azure bay
#

TWD confirms my point

floral mauve
#

he is a cube master

azure bay
royal notch
#

Not much ago, Black Jesus 321 talked about something horrible i didn't know, what were you talking about?

floral mauve
#

?

#

what have I done

royal notch
#

Aldous killed Rose?

floral mauve
#

I didnt say anything horrible

azure bay
floral mauve
#

more random than flying fish god

#

killed by a mouse trap

royal notch
#

Ahhhhhh, i can bhreath againFrank_Laugh Frank_Laugh Frank_Laugh Frank_Laugh Frank_Laugh Frank_Laugh Frank_Laugh Frank_Laugh Frank_Laugh Frank_Laugh

azure bay
#

& even deeper in the past in Roots

floral mauve
#

flying fish god had one mission, which is to assassinate the child Dale

covert wyvern
#

we accept all theories in these channel. but please do restrict the shitposting.

floral mauve
#

thats why Dale successfully slayed the god in the past

#

it linked altogether

azure bay
#

you are forgetting about a fish being caught in a bear trap

floral mauve
#

the fly

#

is too delicious

#

that he forgot it was suspicious

azure bay
#

I hope there is no nyaos in RL

floral mauve
#

what are nyaos

azure bay
#

nyaos is like chaos but worse

floral mauve
#

flying fish god is not chaos

#

it is a logical creature that follows the rule

#

However, flying fish god might not be died

#

because Dale changed the past

#

so we might still be able to see him in the future

royal notch
#

RL itself is nyaos, it's enough, please. Frank_Laugh

azure bay
#

NOW I need all of you to stay serious & answer a question

#

Why does the fate of Rusty Lake lie inside a small seed?

floral mauve
#

the fate of roots?

#

not rusty lake

azure bay
#

Crow was explicit about that

floral mauve
#

I mean the fate of William

#

oh nvm

azure bay
#

he spoke globally

royal notch
floral mauve
azure bay
floral mauve
#

oof

azure bay
#

probably by using the leftovers

#

but still

floral mauve
#

maybe he saw the importance of Dale already

#

idk

royal notch
azure bay
floral mauve
#

I just had a thought that Mr Crow might know the use of Dale backthen

royal notch
floral mauve
#

he was Dale's grandpa (assumption based on Vandermeer name)

#

fuck

#

I fucked up

azure bay
floral mauve
royal notch
floral mauve
#

or Aldous got dementia that he doesnt know what to do

#

you dont know what to do

azure bay
floral mauve
#

yes

#

another possibility

floral mauve
#

why cant Mr Owl do it

#

he saw his mom's work

#

his mom did invent it

#

I think its still more likely to be lack of ingrediants

#

ok that enough me today I am gonna go

royal notch
#

Bye.

may flying fish god bless you

"flying fish god had one mission to assassinate the child dale"

im snipping this bit lmao

cerulean crypt
#

Mr.Rabbit almost assatinate him

azure bay
cerulean crypt
#

Actualy ... Why Dale is hurted in Paradox?

royal notch
#

I think that, after the jumpscare ||after you crush the flies in the mirror|| he got scared and loses consciousness, like in the film. Falling, he hurted his head.

azure bay
#

an interesting fact

#

this wound appears in ch1 & is present ever since then

mossy imp
#

I think William Vanderboom is a reference to William Faulkner, because he was known for this quote: "the past is never dead. It's not even past."

#

He lived between 1897 and 1962

#

I will look for similaritys between Faulkner and Van Gogh, maybe it will give us a clue about rusty lake

azure bay
supple tapir
#

do we know about the relationship between the guests in rusty lake hotel and the eilanders? cuz although both games have the five animals deer, boar, pigeon, pheasant and rabbit, the articles on the official website show that the guests are all born in the 19th century, so that they can't be the same ppl as the eilanders, who lived in the 18th century

azure bay
#

EIlanders are believed to be reborn as the guests

cerulean crypt
#

But we know that the Mr.Rabiit (that one from shooting )is actualy eilander

supple tapir
#

that is the problem of if there are actually two different bunnies, i guess
david would be more than a hundred years old when hotel happens, but the bunny that gets eaten was only 39 according to the website

azure bay
#

& 2 Rabbits are very likely to be the same one

#

the white one is just another incarnation

supple tapir
#

but how did david manage to keep his name after these rebirths?

#

it feels like he has also reached a sort of immortality

#

(also, the singing lady in theater... is she a reincarnation of elizabeth/the pheasant?)

azure bay
azure bay
azure bay
mossy imp
#

I have a theory about the white mr rabit, but i'm not sure about it. When Albert is going to kill, he wears a white mask. Maybe mr rabit does the same?

nocturne yarrow
#

I feel like Mr. Rabbit, and the rabbits throughout the series in general, might be an exception to the rules that bind the characters, instead of a standard they should be assumed to follow. To specify- We see Mr. Rabbit, or specifically David Eilander, hunting down the "substance of his past life" in CE:Birthday, while we don't see anything like this happen with the other animals. I think that there's something fundamentally different about the Rabbit archetype that causes these time-bending things to happen- in my thinking, this includes the white rabbit outside Mr. Rabbit's window in Hotel.
A related but different theory- I think that the white rabbit is the corrupted soul of some person who belongs to the "Rabbit" archetype, scouting out the Hotel during the time their past self was killed in order to find the "substance of their past life". This could be how D. Eilander knew to take the gun in Birthday.

cerulean crypt
#

Actualy mr.Rabbit CS looks diferent

#

Maybe it was difrent

supple tapir
#

... maybe there are "rabbit holes"? some kind of time-travelling way?

nocturne yarrow
#

I'm fully expecting a game that focuses on the rabbits, or at least reveals something about them, at some point here. It seems like it's being set up as a mystery to be solved.

supple tapir
#

i'm somehow reminded of the night of the rabbit🤣

ebon aspen
#

A game about david (and his relationships with his family, specially elizabeth) would be very great. He is prolly alongside harvey the most mysterious character from the series and the whole rabbit stuff, tho quite explainable, still have some confusing topics that would be awesome to see getting deeper in a future title

#

For now i gave up to understand the whole rabbits timeline bc i have a feeling that something is missing and will be revealed in the future

royal notch
nocturne yarrow
#

What do you mean "hosted a new enlightened"?

royal notch
#

Maybe the Eilanders weren't the only guests.

mossy imp
#

But until now, we've never seen two people being the same kind of animal

nocturne yarrow
nocturne yarrow
mossy imp
#

It would explain the deer skull in mr. Deers room

#

Maybe they have killed an other deer in the same room

nocturne yarrow
#

eh, maybe, or it could just be fitting decor.

mossy imp
#

I don't know, the same skull is in paradox, so I think it must mean something

nocturne yarrow
#

In Paradox, it might have been included because Dale seems to be the new heir to the "deer" archetype.

mossy imp
#

Maybe Dale is the third in row, because two other deers have been murdered at te hotel?

#

In the chapel, there's a bird skull, so I don't think those skulls are coincidents

nocturne yarrow
#

Here's the lineup as far as I can tell.
Jakob's dad in Paradise (don't remember his first name)
Mr. Deer from Hotel
Albert Vanderboom (wears a deer skull, seems likely to be tied to the lineage)
Dale Vandermeer

#

Also, not every item in these games necessarily means something. There's a baby in the chapel that is never explained or mentioned, it just kinda exists to add some horror.

mossy imp
#

That's true, maybe I am overthinking some items

#

I just consider it strange that mr. Deer has a deer skull in his room and doesn't even react to it.

covert wyvern
#

well some humans keep human skulls around as decoration

#

all be it fake or real

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

mossy imp
#

But we don't place skulls in a hotel room

high talon
#

Lmao u never know

royal notch
#

You've just a new head, not a new personality.

supple tapir
mossy imp
#

Good point

high talon
#

Maybe he just don't care lol

supple tapir
#

too chill to care (joking)

mossy imp
#

Maybe the skull belongs to the headless deer we sometimes see in the games

royal notch
nocturne yarrow
azure bay
#

I just say that some may keep older momories some may not

#

As far as I can see, if you've been enlightened via elixir, you preserve your personality, otherwise you don't

#

Eilanders seem to get enlightenment in different way

#

That's probably why they could've forgotten

#

Because effectively some of them have changed their traits of character & none of them show any knowledge about the place & each other

#

The fact that in BD Rabbit remembers his former name could just mean that he retrieved all his memories (as in The Cave they are clearly sepatated from the guests)

royal notch
#

Only Gerald and David have still their main traits.

azure bay
royal notch
#

For me it isn't creepy, only strange. 😂 I mean, it's a person unable to take things seriously.

#

His brother's going to die, he says:- I hope i'm not the one who dies tonight!-. Not a nice thing, but also not so bad.

#

He's the definition of sarcasm.

astral frost
#

Well

#

No one of the Eilander cares about the death of one of the family

#

Except for Caroline, the only normal member

astral frost
azure bay
astral frost
#

I wonder if we will ever find out a way to connect all the dots

nocturne yarrow
#

I just don’t see where the idea of losing memories even came from.

#

Not to mention the Eilanders wanted to clear the plagues away, not reach enlightenment.

azure bay
royal notch
#

"You are meeting your destiny."!

azure bay
# nocturne yarrow I just don’t see where the idea of losing memories even came from.

for me, the idea mostly comes from samsara. If that's a thing, if everyone is being constantly reborn in a new body but doesn't remember the past one then they all lose their memories & that's normal.

In RL being enlightened is technically being "reborn", as the realm of samsara is being changed during that. For some it's happens as transformation (Mr. Crow), for others as getting an actual new body (like Mr. Owl, as his previous one was likely to be completely burnt).

However, some enlightened ones obviously preserve memories & some seemingly don't. We have no idea how it works. However, I assume that the elixir could be the detail to distinguish them

nocturne yarrow
#

I suppose I get your point. However, the concept that the Hotel guests are literally different humans with the same souls as the Eilanders still stands under your “reborn in a new body” hypothesis. If that’s what you’ve been saying the whole time, then I’ve done a bunch of unnecessary arguing.

azure bay
#

I'm always glad to know a new opinion

#

We'll never know the truth but we can know a bunch of interpretations that may work together & create a bunch of bigger pictures

floral mauve
#

just like the flying fish god theory

#

nowherecaw‘s theory is mostly connected together

#

he is the big brain here

azure bay
#

currently I don't really try to connect different theories. Most of them are just built one on another.

#

some of my preferred ones are either independent or even sometimes contradicting

#

I have opinions on different major topic but no interconnected system

#

at least yet

#

& I don't really want to have just 1

#

as having just 1 makes no sense as it's pretty certain to be incorrect

#

from the dev's pov

royal notch
#

Eilanders or not, the guests seems a bit strange in the whole game, since they don't have the minime suspects to be in danger. At the third dinner, i wouldn't consider the ingredients and the missing guest a coincidence.

cerulean crypt
#

And Vanderbooms will notice Willam ghost doing things

#

But this is just a game

azure bay
cerulean crypt
#

Why no?

covert wyvern
#

yknow the thing is, I've been to hotels. and even if the guest list is low I wouldn't care about someone not being there for dinner

#

theyre not my problem lmao

azure bay
#

There's a possibility that CS may show themselves only when they want to

#

btw some of Vanderbooms have clearly seen William

cerulean crypt
#

But they will see his phisical inteaction

azure bay
#

Emma, Ida & Leonard did see him

cerulean crypt
#

Ida?

#

Emma make him into painting , clear

#

but Ida?

#

and Leo?

azure bay
# cerulean crypt Ida?

the whole "fortune teller" chapter was about Ida spoiling the plot Roots. There probably was no sense in showing William's rebirth if he wasn't there to see it

So what are we doing whole game then?

#

if we don't interact with anything?

azure bay
prisma monolith
#

Well, there was the whole "child Rose communication with ouija board" thing

#

And we were able to move the planchette

cerulean crypt
#

Actualy willam could take paint and write something on the wall

#

HE CAN interact with phisical things

azure bay

the only things that are confirmed to be done by the alchemist brothers were:

  • Inviting James;
  • Making him plant the tree by William's last will & testament;
  • Making sure that the grandchildren will be there to finish the ritual.

I've always thought of the premise of Roots being "every once in a while, a corrupted soul takes control of the household" since there's little to no information that happens inbetween the stages

azure bay
#

I guess, TPW will reveal some of the minor events

prisma monolith
#

Because we don't play it in real time, we just see scenes that happen in one day of a season in a year

azure bay
prisma monolith
#

Kinda like in Seasons

azure bay
#

Emma's letter & the cross-over with Birthday secret scene make no sense if the chapter last for just a day

#

neither most of the dates written at the graveyard

royal notch
covert wyvern
#

well I would be suspicious if the meat was human crowgiggle

royal notch
supple tapir
#

and mr owl always invites the same set of species to his hotel right...?
cuz like in roots there are also these 5 animals to be seen in the hotel

#

i'm now seriously considering the possibility that mr owl is randomly gathering ppl who have the same traits as his family

royal notch
#

In Roots we see the guests in the hotel before the 1893, so before their death. I consider that they're the same.

azure bay
#

Boar couldn't be there before 1893

#

I guess it's a temporal anomaly or just a simple reference

#

for the puzzle sake

astral frost
#

Otherwise, it wouln't be the only contradiction in Roots

#

In one of Emma's levels, where she's searching her son and she writes the letter, we can see the light beam from the Hotel (the one which transformed Harvey), even if the dates don't match

cerulean crypt
#

In Game of lies we see paper about dead of Emma and Acident in Hotel

supple tapir
#

i checked the timeline, emma dies in 1896, but hotel takes place in 1893 O_O

cerulean crypt
#

Aciddent prodably means breakout?

supple tapir
#

breakout takes place in 1894

#

still can't match

cerulean crypt
#

Time is weird near the lake

#

Or Mr.Owl make more mistakes

azure bay
astral frost
#

I should replay the games using this hypotesis

#

It could solve other contradictions

royal notch
#

3 days ago, nowherecrafter made me think about the elixir, and now i got a thought: what if the elixir has always been full, but it wasn't enough? In that case, the "full elixir" mentioned by Mr Owl it's not a powered version of the elixir, but A NEW ONE? What if the golden cube is that "elixir"? It could explain many things.

#

Caroline's recipe has memories as principal ingredient, how can William reached it without using them? The elixir of the alchemist brothers is not the final way to immortality, since It must be drunk periodically.

#

So, maybe is necessary combine it with some memories, maybe of someone that already had invoulontary discovered the enlightement secret, Dale!

azure bay
#

Caroline's formula is stated to result into a cube. Most likely the golden one. The only strong difference I see in Dale's case is his great effort of facing his demons & getting a higher state of consciousness.

The true immortality is impossible, according to original samsara

royal notch
#

Wait, so you think that the cube she draw wasn't an ingredient, but the result?

azure bay
#

As most of the arrows end there

royal notch
#

OMG, i should go and see better, i thought they STARTED from It!

azure bay
#

However, I admit that it could mean hiding the ingredients inside black cubes

royal notch
#

I don't know, now that you made me notice the arrows, i'm not so sure.

azure bay
#

Neither am I. I just have preference

royal notch
#

It was also a try to explain why of the "mind union", couldn't have they just extracted the formula memory? Instead, they made of Dale's life an hell (almost initially)!

azure bay
#

The last statement is debatable

royal notch
#

I said initially.

#

Initially, Dale didn't know what the heck was going on! Frank_Laugh

azure bay
#

Don't you mean that Rabbit was sent to his BD by Owl?

royal notch
#

No, no, why? That was not programmed, Dale discovered ("discovered"... read "saw an enlightement without knowing what was") this secret society by mistake. But this mistake can have been a good start for Dale's future journey.

#

But i don't think It was on Jakob's purpose.

azure bay
#

Dale's role might've been predetermined all along

#

Jacob probably had a vision of him

#

& Owl has seen him in the cube

royal notch
#

That's true, but because of that it is really necessary exterminate his parents and kill innocent people? I don't want to think that Jakob has this kind of character, also because his past could have teached him something, that every life must be protect.

#

But also, i think at the "determined" future.

#

Like the one in the greek's mithis.

#

If you see what happen in the future, that thing will happen, always. Because the things you will do after have seen that, are the ones that have been already predicted.

nocturne yarrow
#

Maybe Mr. Owl wouldn’t kill Dale’s parents directly, but he’d sure as heck be fine with arranging it so Mr. Rabbit did.

royal notch
royal notch
astral frost
#

Little guess about Mr Rabbit

#

Everyone in RL universe tries to change something in the past to make it better, if he/she wants to "balance the substance of his/her past lives"

#

So why for Mr Rabbit "balancing the substance of one of his past lives" means "killing apparently random people"?

#

Is it true that the only substance which matters is the gun?

#

Or Mr Rabbit is someway linked to Dale's family?

#

There's also Harvey's letter for Dale, which could totally be one of the Lake's memory modification, but it could also hide a deeper role for Dale

supple tapir
#

a sudden idea
if - i mean if - birthday didn't take place in 1939, but in, say, 1940, i would perhaps think that the mr rabbit in birthday is a metapher for the nazis

#

but in 1939... germany hadn't invaded the netherlands yet as far as i remember

#

(busy invading poland at that time)

royal notch
#

I don't think that the devs wanted to put nazist or war references in their game. There's only Leonard case, but was necessary for Roots trame.

royal notch
supple tapir
#

it would be interesting though, to see ww2 from dale/laura/bob's point of view
they were children by then, and if there was a game set during ww2 it might be a narnia/pan's labyrinth kind of story

astral frost
#

Oh right, he takes the gun and he runs away

#

So the gun IS specifically the object which will let him being reborn

#

The reason... we don't know yet

royal notch
covert wyvern
#

@supple tapir let's not.

supple tapir
#

ah sorry
shall i delete that?

covert wyvern
#

preferably.

supple tapir
#

sorry again

covert wyvern
#

It's fine to discuss major historical events that appear in the games; IE WW1. but even then please do be weary to not overstep any boundries

#

no it's quite alright. just a friendly heads up 😄

#

sometimes theories get a bit too out there. this was one of those times

supple tapir
#

i really didn't mean to offend anyone

covert wyvern
#

and we mods are here to step in when that happens.

#

No I completely understand.

#

so lets make sure no one gets offended by not mentioning it if its not necessary for the Current events of the game

royal notch
#

Sorry also by me, Damy.

#

😅

covert wyvern
#

I get where you're both coming from, don't worry.

#

I do agree with the notion that it's probably a bad idea to show WW2 in a RL game.

#

I'm honestly a firm believer showing WW1 was a bad idea

#

but that's just me.

#

I prefer the RL games to be a bit more surreal and not tied to real life major historical events crowgiggle

supple tapir
#

on another topic, how common are asuras/animalpeople(?) in the world of rusty lake?

covert wyvern
#

see that's an interesting question,.

#

if Mr. boar is an ambassador of sorts

#

you'd almost think there's a community of them out there.

supple tapir
#

(and are all asuras semi-immortal?)

covert wyvern
#

that is my assumption. but i may well be wrong.

supple tapir
#

cuz like in paradise and roots it seems that it's very hard to become an asura, but in hotel it seems that there are asuras everywhere

covert wyvern
#

I wouldn't say everywhere but I wouldn't be surprised a community exists.

#

maybe the lake crew is "new" to this community

#

hence Mr. Boars visit

#

which they then promptly proceed to murder

#

but that's beside the point crowgiggle

#

(if we assume asura's are indeed semi-immortal and we DO assume there's a community out there it's only fair to assume this community may have existed for centuries, long before mr owl even became, well, mr owl)

#

but this is a wild out there accusation.

nocturne yarrow
#

I just feel like we would've seen more of this community if it existed beyond the lake. Like, there might be a decent amount of people working with Mr. Owl who assume asura forms, but I haven't seen any references to them existing outside the lake's influence.

covert wyvern
#

aye! an excellent point

#

hence why I comment that my accusation is wild and out there Frank_Laugh

supple tapir
#

(btw, are bat and toad asuras too?)

covert wyvern
#

I assume they are.

royal notch
#

For me, yes. After they reach It, they went to the hotel.

#

I mean, for me, everyone can reach enlightement with the right behaviour whit the Lake, on their own. Then Mr Owl, the first one, find and invite them to be part of this society.

nocturne yarrow
#

Something I always considered a possibility is that asura-fication works both ways, as in some of them started as animals and became humanoid. The distinction for me is based on speech- both Mr. Bat and Harvey never speak in their human forms, and both have no explained origins, which makes me think they started as animals.

#

Mr. Toad is just an utter enigma though.

supple tapir
#

and why didn't the dog in roots turn into an asura?

#

it didn't die after drinking the elixir, so it should have got the enlightenment

#

(if we assume enlightenment=turning into asura and become semi-immortal)

cerulean crypt
#

It might be not concius enought

supple tapir
#

(also, why didn't james turn into a corrupted soul?)

#

it seems that he just died like an ordinary person

cerulean crypt
#

Mostly CS are created when extrat memories

#

Maybe Adoulus steal Wiliam memories

nocturne yarrow
#

...I think we might be forced to accept that the RL devs aren't super consistent about their rules.

azure bay
#

Mr. Owl could make this pistol appear at Vandermeer's possession but I tend to think otherwise as Owl was communicating with Dale from 1966

#

Like that year it was the first time he finally knew who exactly to look for

nocturne yarrow
#

I think the pistol being at Dale’s house was an unfortunate coincidence, which caused him to be perfect for Mr. Owl’s plans, not the other way around.

supple tapir
#

... i saw a fanfiction of RL hotel and i suddenly have the feeling that it could perhaps be developed into a theory
the fanfic itself is an "everyone is human!AU", and the hotel just sells human flesh disguised as normal meat
so what if the guests are actually humans? maybe they're animals in the eyes of harvey (and perhaps mr owl and co. as well)

#

that might explain why the guests have normal occupations in the human society

azure bay
supple tapir
#

ah

floral mauve
#

I believe that those asuras can switch between asura form and human form

#

just like Mr Crow and Owl in the cave

#

the Guests should be similar

cerulean crypt
#

But can they switch beetwen animal form and asura form?

floral mauve
#

I doubt they have the animal form

cerulean crypt
#

We see crows in games but we don't have enought proof that i is mr.Crow

floral mauve
#

But Mr Owl might be fish though

cerulean crypt
#

but in Roots on painting called Crow and dead man we see crow as bird and siluhhete of CS

cerulean crypt
floral mauve
#

nah

#

I am being serious since in fish and parrot, Mr Owl is likely to be represented as fish

#

and his future mind form is also fish

cerulean crypt
#

And in paradox i know

#

but maybe this is what happen when he cant get more elixir?

floral mauve
#

(or flying fish god)

floral mauve
cerulean crypt
floral mauve
#

I dont think in submarine he wore glasses

#

but in TWD I think he did?

cerulean crypt
#

Yes in TWD he did

#

So flying fishes are gods

floral mauve
#

yes

#

killed by fish traps

cerulean crypt
#

Beartraps

#

and mouse traps

floral mauve
#

special made traps are called fish traps

#

since it is used to hunt the fish down only

#

btw, I have another evidence to complete this theory

#

in Mill, the old woman ate a fish

#

which is a relative of the flying fish god

#

so she got punished by being killed by Laura's CS

#

the power of the flying fish god is inevitable

#

except the damn little Dale

azure bay
#

I was heavily doubting the manager being Mr. Owl until recent time

#

The thing that convinced me once & for all was Bob Rafferty's behind the scene video

deft quiver
#

How much TPW will be MitozaThonk

covert wyvern
#

@deft quiver do you mean like price wise? bc theories isn't the place to ask and the answer is we dont know.

deft quiver
#

Oh ok, just want to do some presumption

#

Maybe here's not a place to guess the price

covert wyvern
#

it is not. and neither is any other channel.

deft quiver
#

Understood

stable wigeon
#

possibly the core memories of said lives

#

negative and positive memories balance each other

floral mauve
#

I have a question, is CS inevitable

stable wigeon
#

who knows

#

perhaps everyone has a CS within them

azure bay
floral mauve
#

I am not sure if Mr Rabbit show up as a CS in birthday

stable wigeon
#

he is shown in hotel

floral mauve
stable wigeon
#

in place of his CS is a cs with that same rabbit mask

floral mauve
#

like if you punch them, you got some kinda feedback

stable wigeon
#

why?

floral mauve
#

idk

#

just kinda curious

stable wigeon
#

i think they are both

floral mauve
#

if Mr rabbit CS can be shot

stable wigeon
#

oh i see where yorue coming from

floral mauve
#

why cant Mr Owl just use some shotgun and hunt down all of other guests

stable wigeon
#

but if not

#

then this would make sense

#

if this was a previous life

#

he travled back in time to his previous life

azure bay
stable wigeon
#

yea ik and i think they mean different things

#

the mushroom obviously is connected with naraka

#

prozac is depression

floral mauve
#

I think maybe those are the most important subject from their previous life

stable wigeon
#

flower and cactus fruit not sure

stable wigeon
floral mauve
#

for example

#

in the Mill

#

you can see it in the memory machine

#

some important objects

stable wigeon
#

the pistol was the most important part of that previous life of mr rabbit/s

floral mauve
#

but why

#

and how

stable wigeon
#

the fetus of blue lady

#

obviously also very important

floral mauve
#

but why doesnt the lady get the pistol

#

since Ms Pheasant shot herself with it

stable wigeon
#

especially if she was a literal miscarried fetus that is the only memorable part of that life

azure bay
stable wigeon
#

exactly

floral mauve
#

that the part I doubt if he showed up as a CS or not

stable wigeon
#

this is why i think it was a previous life he revisited

#

youre right

#

and i think he wanted to get shot

floral mauve
#

He seems not agressive(reckless) in birthday

azure bay
stable wigeon
#

not sure but remember how we discussed

floral mauve
#

he seems to know the plan

#

He knows what to do

stable wigeon
#

i was under the impression that time traveling was going back to previous lives and previous memories

floral mauve
azure bay
stable wigeon
#

wym

#

u mean the first time?

azure bay
#

Yep

stable wigeon
#

would he have gotten shot if dale didnt come back to revisit that life?

floral mauve
#

or maybe he was there just to leave the silver coin

#

thats his actual point

stable wigeon
#

even if pistol was present

floral mauve
#

otherwise he could carry the box with him

#

it wasnt a big box

floral mauve
stable wigeon
#

yes i believe so as well although i do not have solid evidence

azure bay
stable wigeon
#

but the ending he seems to have died and whatever the tree means

floral mauve
#

well, a fucking flying fish god can exist

stable wigeon
#

i take that as meaning he moved on from CS state

floral mauve
#

why not this logic

stable wigeon
#

what else could it mean? what else could he do? he either succeeds in escaping CS or he doesnt

#

tree isnt part of samsara

floral mauve
#

this tree remind me of the fish tree in the Lake

stable wigeon
#

yea true

azure bay
#

He gives it life powers

stable wigeon
#

he was absorbed by it

#

unless that tree itself is significant which it may be

#

there was the tree in roots that could be related

#

but seeing as he was physically absorbed it seems he went somewhere or something happened to him

azure bay
#

My guess is that he was getting a physical body step by step & at the end of his journey as he failed he just lost all he gained

#

& probably became a regular CS once again

stable wigeon
#

you dont believe in my past life hypothesis?

azure bay
#

I have no Idea what past it is

stable wigeon
#

its simply a past life of his

#

or could be

#

a life he needed to balance

azure bay
#

With my current set of beliefs I see no way of Rabbit naturally living in 1939

stable wigeon
#

maybe future life

#

but i c wym

azure bay
#

He was talking about the past life

stable wigeon
#

oh true

#

but there has to have been a past life that he was referring to

#

a past life related at least to that pistol

#

unless he balanced his past lives by a new memory in the present

azure bay
#

He used to work with Pheasant. The pistol she used to kill herself could be also related to him.

That's the only explanation I currently see. If you come up with something else I'll hear you out

stable wigeon
#

he didnt need to kill them for it

#

a bit overkill

azure bay
#

Yeah, that's strange

stable wigeon
#

literally

#

🤣

azure bay
#

Could be explained by him still being emotionally unstable as most of CS are

stable wigeon
#

then why so apologetic

#

so wait

#

you think he needed to balance the substance

#

of his life as mr rabbit

azure bay
#

At least then

stable wigeon
#

by means of the pistol pheasent used to kill herself

azure bay
#

We don't really know what balancing the substance is

stable wigeon
#

i really believe it has something to do with posititve and negative memories

stable wigeon
#

because we see people change cubes from black to white

floral mauve
#

thats not a normal CS would do

stable wigeon
#

and we needed both a black and a white cube for the gold one

#

although that may not be related

azure bay
floral mauve
#

I know

#

he is becoming more solid

stable wigeon
#

if he was trying to make a body

azure bay
#

Birthday

stable wigeon
#

i was talking birthday

#

and i was also thinking seasons

#

but that is a different case

#

seasons is weird

#

lol

floral mauve
#

I didnt follow, when and how you change black cubes into white?

stable wigeon
#

i dont get what is real and what is reality

#

by making the bad memory a good memory

floral mauve
#

I know but where you see it

stable wigeon
#

going back to that life and changing it

#

at the ending

#

of birthday

floral mauve
#

emmmmm

#

ohh

stable wigeon
#

i think........?

#

i dont remember quite

azure bay
floral mauve
#

ohhh it makes sense

#

do you remember paradise

#

in the end of each plague

stable wigeon
#

not rlly

#

oh

floral mauve
#

the cube becomes white

stable wigeon
#

does it

#

thats weird

azure bay
stable wigeon
#

is there time travel in paradise hold_up

floral mauve
#

the painting at the end of the plague

azure bay
floral mauve
#

it will turn black into white

stable wigeon
#

bro harvey tripped me out

#

was like WTF ARE YOU DOING HERE

floral mauve
#

wait is Harvey in Paradise?

azure bay
stable wigeon
#

possibly

floral mauve
stable wigeon
#

maybe before he was asura?

#

maybe he was parrot both before and after

floral mauve
#

I didnt find too much about the easter egg in paradise

stable wigeon
#

after because

#

owl forced it

floral mauve
#

did you guys see Harvey in Paradise?

stable wigeon
#

its prob just an easter egg tho

azure bay
stable wigeon
#

but then wouldnt u have to call harvey in roots an easter egg as well

floral mauve
#

holy shit, Harvey is mad as f

stable wigeon
#

parrots can time travel

floral mauve
#

evil than Mr Owl afterall

azure bay
stable wigeon
#

fish can fly parrots can time travel

#

yea ik i dont think it would be right

#

to completely disregard it

floral mauve
#

guess fish and parrots does make sense

#

flying fish god vs time travel parrot

stable wigeon
#

i just assumed that harvey was parrot

#

then asura

#

then owl forced him into parrot when he died

floral mauve
azure bay
floral mauve
stable wigeon
#

or maybe his karma canceled out and he went back to prev form lol

#

died in snowglobe at birthday

floral mauve
#

?

stable wigeon
#

i mean the asura

floral mauve
#

he just changes between them?

stable wigeon
#

maybe didnt die

azure bay
stable wigeon
#

i dont think you can just change

floral mauve
#

you didnt see blood or any evidence showing that he was directly killed by the guests CS

azure bay
floral mauve
#

why cant Harvey switch between animal and asura

stable wigeon
#

its like a skin puppet imo

azure bay
stable wigeon
#

oh huh

#

interesting the light beam goes into the lake

#

i didnt realize that

floral mauve
#

I dont get it

stable wigeon
#

u see his body

floral mauve
#

you dont call that black mess a body

#

its not clear

stable wigeon
azure bay
#

I see Owl evoking the lightbeam

stable wigeon
#

the camera cut away

#

ohh it is that isnt it

floral mauve
stable wigeon
#

no i mean

#

the moment the CS attacked

#

what exactly happened between then and the light beam

floral mauve
#

I dont get the correlation

azure bay
#

Alright

#

Harvey was overwhelmed with CS. He was scared. Then Owl was standing over a pile of (body?) & made the magical light strike them. Then Harvey flew away as a parrot & we've never seen his asur form ever after

floral mauve
#

emmmmmm

#

thats weird

#

so you assume the asura form of the animal is just like some sort of skin?

azure bay
#

No

stable wigeon
#

?

azure bay
#

I assume that Harvey died

floral mauve
#

then how he flew

azure bay
#

& Owl gave him another life

stable wigeon
#

but this seems different

#

this is a very strange way of rebirth

#

instantanous like that?

floral mauve
stable wigeon
#

also more importantly

stable wigeon
#

he wasnt reborn

#

he wasnt born

#

lol he transformed

floral mauve
#

I doubt Mr Owl knows the technique of instant reborn

floral mauve
stable wigeon
#

unless he had a parrot egg in his pocket happened to hatch

azure bay
#

Transformation is a usual way of rebirth

stable wigeon
#

naw

floral mauve
stable wigeon
#

thats wack

#

that was again forced

#

it wasnt natural samsara

#

srry not asura

floral mauve
azure bay
#

Crow transformed into asur, Bob transformed into pret, David transformed into mindless fly-man

stable wigeon
#

i meant samsara

floral mauve
#

oh ok

#

why not though

stable wigeon
#

cuz like

#

you dont see people transforming into animals

#

they die

#

people die

floral mauve
#

bruh

stable wigeon
#

cs may be a different case

floral mauve
stable wigeon
#

in fact it has to be

#

but that was ritualistic

#

also i dunno what exactly u are talking about

#

im saying normal people

azure bay
#

The lake seems to give Eilanders their asur forms. Why can't weaker Owl do the same but with a lesser form?

stable wigeon
#

you told me that

floral mauve
#

they are rebirth

stable wigeon
#

there must have been an in-between

azure bay
floral mauve
#

reincarnation of the Eilanders

stable wigeon
#

i thought u said that the ages dont match in that case

floral mauve
#

but the funny part is that they werent reborn at the same time

stable wigeon
#

theyd all be the same age if it were instantanous no?

floral mauve
#

yep

stable wigeon
#

they arent

floral mauve
#

so its not instantaneous

stable wigeon
#

thats what im sayinnn

floral mauve
#

But Harvey did if he was killed

#

But I still not confirmed

stable wigeon
#

yea that was owl

#

owl has superpowers

floral mauve
stable wigeon
#

idk lol

floral mauve
#

he made Dale fly

stable wigeon
#

and made it storm

floral mauve
#

teleport 100

stable wigeon
#

by t-posing

azure bay
#

I want you to bare in mind that RL universe seems to be soft

#

Almost each time we get a new different example of rebirth or transformation

floral mauve
#

bruh

stable wigeon
floral mauve
#

therefore, the concept of Samsara isnt important anymore?

azure bay
#

The rules become more & more different to describe the further we go

stable wigeon
#

either owl is involved

floral mauve
#

since everyone has an individual case

stable wigeon
#

or there is a ritualistic sacrifice

#

yes thats what im saying

floral mauve
stable wigeon
#

this cant be the natural samsara

floral mauve
#

who the fuck follows the Samsara except William

azure bay
stable wigeon
#

william doesnt
