a massive headache of an analysis of two very terrible people in my projected ideas and observations

I mentioned this on the discord that I think that the fandom is coddling Noone a bit too much. but hear me out before you "she's just a child, you monster. She was subjected to emotional abuse and Otto is a terrible guy for being a doctor and a trusted adult in her life."

That's all valid. but one thing we should ALL REMEMBER is that the children who are approached or ensnared by the Ferry/Candleman, are not targeted because of the "sordid and sympathetic story of bullying and internalized trauma". Under my observations, I would say the Ferry/Candleman pursues children that are vulnerable and easily manipulated. And of course he's not monitoring these children for any specifics or potential, his role is to catch kids and drag them to the Maw. For profit.

And I wanna sympathize with Otto - very carefully - cause this man is a mess. He's terrible, he's a jerk, he loses control over himself over a >10 child call out on his toxicity. AND HE SHOULD HAVE APPROACHED THE SITUATION DIFFERENTLY, WHICH WOULD HAVE MAYBE SAVED NOONE FROM THE FERRY/CANDLEMAN AND THE NOWHERE.

And I would wager that this last betrayal and abandonment by Cece2.0 tossed Otto the edge of all moral practice. Otto was a horrible guy, he betrayed his patient and Noone's trust - but all of that was not done for himself per say; he didn't throw Noone to the Candle/Ferryman for glory, for discovery, for personal promotion. He was doing this out of his childish desperation to find or at the very least see his sister. Yes, that is absolutely selfish, yes he hurt someone along the way, and he will continue to hurt other kids on his journey to finding Cece.

But Noone also isn't completely blameless. She is of course a child, she is a flawed, sad, and a broken child. Of course when someone said to her, "escape the pain and awful world you live," she leapt at this opportunity, no questions. No thoughts, head empty. But Noone is far from innocent, and she will not stay that way when she goes native to the Nowhere-ville.

Over the course of the podcasts, we see evidence that Noone- among the children she encounters - adapt to this hostile world. Children actively ignore Noone when she calls to them (see Ref noisy children die), others are swift to abandon her when the terrors find them kiddies. And Noone herself begins to react and fight at the hostilities in her environment - this proven in Chapter 5, when a girl tried to take the nome (see Ref mushroom fairy), she threw A FUCKING BRICK AT HER ARM. And especially in Chapter 6, she slammed a bottle over the marionette pinned to the table, killing it probably. Subjected to the Nowhere and the violence there, children either adapt and defend themselves, abandon others - or they die.

And my Discord did have a big analytical study and discussion over Rusty - the trapeze boy from the circus. Rusty was an interesting character, not only because he was a teen - probably inhabited Nowhere for a long time - but he was hinted to knowing a way out of Nowhere. This latter factor, I doubt - I do not think Rusty had any real knowledge of how to escape Nowhere, and all he wanted at the end of the day was escape the circus. We choose to ignore the giant pillars stretching to the ceiling not important no siree. That's the best case scenario. But Rusty and his group suggested one of two things (or all of these things). Kids left to Nowhere REALLY REGRET THAT DECISION EVENTUALLY (maybe you get older and realize how much of a dumb brat younger you was). Or, and also, Rusty was not there because of the Candle/Ferryman guiding him to Nowhere. Otherwise, Rusty would be property of the Maw, since Ferry/Candleman gives not two ceramic dolls who has a kid or what entity wants a kid - Ferry/Candleman will escort that child to MawcDonalds.

So Rusty and his trope came to the Nowhere on their own accord - either through a liminal space or other mysterious and obscure portal people should really avoid in the normal world. And they did not know really how to find their way back to the world they lost.

The last problematic matter of Rusty, is he is sus, like a lot of characters of the Little Nightmares world. He's invested in his survival and happiness and safety. So when he and the group are presented with Noone, they jump at this opportunity. It's not crazy to think Rusty was very invested in getting himself away, and ditch anyone else along the way. Case in point when he suggested Noone to be the lookout (wink-wink, nudge-nudge, teehee), "for the man in the purple suit." Noone later realizes she has no idea what the real plan for escape is, aside from alert Rusty that the man in the purple suit is there. She's told only to signal Rusty nonverbally, but she decided to scream at the teen "big top", which he thinks is a good idea. Yes, of course he would. And apparently whatever happened to Rusty was so horrific, it locked Noone in a panic attack. Which is terrible, since it is most probable Rusty and his group only needed Noone there to draw the attention of the man in the purple suit, use her as bait - but that didn't work out. F for Rusty, you big L.

These incidents with the children - of being exploited and bullied, not just in the Nowhere but from her world, drives Noone closer to the edge of the metaphorical doorway. And Otto exasperated the condition by pushing her closer to the threshold of commitment, all to seek a hint that Cece was still there and he might find her. But it was also Noone who took the plunge, despite Otto beseeching her to wait for him - this is the moth to the light, flying closer to that which is enticing and promises comfort, only to be snuffed out when the moth reached the flame.

One of the running themes of Little Nightmares is that of children succumbing to a fate or falling into the same cycle of torment, they are fighting to avoid. For Six, she becomes the next proprietor of the Maw, unable to leave - only so she can survive. With Mono, we follow him through his struggle to find and free his friend from the Tower, only to get thrown aside and abandoned; then he becomes the thing that he fled from, and eventually destroyed - the Broadcaster of the Tower. The children of Nowhere are not escaping a terrible world for another terrible world, they are accepting of the violence and malice that shaped who they are, and turn that back onto the world that inflicted it - perpetuating the trauma which forged them. There are no happy endings of Little Nightmares, only acceptance.

Otto succumbs to that fate as well. He doesn't seek to help Noone so much as he sought to fulfil his own selfish needs. Noone did not wait for Otto to confront the Ferry/Candleman, or wait for him to turn the Candle/Ferryman away - she took the hand offered and abandoned Otto. Which, in turn, leads to Otto's descent into his tragic villain arch. To be clear, Noone isn't responsible for this adult man who should know better, Otto is far from her responsibility. But this mindset may have been what drove Cece from her lil brother Otto - a clingy child she wanted nothing to do with. And ill reiterate, Noone was not responsible for Otto or his actions, as he was the one who swore to help her, he was the doctor and the figure of authority in her life - Otto was supposed to come to her aid.

But when Otto was at his most vulnerable and had no power over Noone any longer, and he begged her to wait. She did not. As with all monsters of the Nowhere, when the child has the upper-hand or has discovered a clever trap, the child dispatches their tormentor.

As equally as she despises Otto, she favored the Ferry/Candleman for the lies he gave her. For the truth he wove amongst the promises.

Though we can dissect Noone's character and grasp what led to her actions, her story is not one of triumph or escape - it is of acceptance and defeat. She does not overcome a great adversary, she submited to the conditions of the world that created the monsters she hated. Her story has only begun in terms of the Nowhere, and it is far from over. She is not journeying through the Nowhere to reach some enlightenment or to become stronger than the shadows that will chase her, or overcome the hazards that await her. Noone becomes another cog in the machine which keeps the Nowhere and its inhabitants gleeful and fulfilled.

It is fair and fine to sympathize with Noone and her fate, she is a child and a victim to all that was set upon her - left with no protectors or sympathizers. And she fell prey to a master manipulator, as did Otto. in this story, the only one who claims success is the Candle/Ferryman, who orchestrated the whole thing.

#little nightmares #lil nightmares #noone #otto #the sounds of nightmares #sounds of nightmares #the counsellor #i get this feel that everyone who condemned otto also hates on six too #tl;dr everyone is terrible we are angry equally with these characters #noones new hobby will be throwing children off cliffs and tossing bricks at everyone #rusty was kinda sus and sinister you cant change my mind #i understand rusty wanted to escape and all but if noone was successfull her story couldve ended right there #noones going to nowhere WHAT DO YOU THINK SHELL MINOR IN NOT SELF SACRIFICE I ASSURE YOU #she was so mad at the nome too rk would be so disappointed #rk would be like - girl the nome just showed you a way out of there why you gotta hate on the lil guy #mushroom fairy #the fae are sketchy and dont stand in a toadstool circle you will disappear

Thinking about Porsche treating Kim as a little brother, Porsche seeing Kim with Chay and thinking 'yeah im adopting him' Porsche telling Chay that he's not allowed to lose Kim, Porsche seeing Kim protect Chay and being so happy that Chay has someone else to look after him, Porsche seeing Kim sad about a fight he had with Chay and helping him win Chay back(ofc hes also consoling Chay with whatever fight happened but fuck if he'll let them break up over dumb arguments) Chay and Kim playfully fighting over who's the best little brother to Porsche (of course Porsche is going to choose Chay but hes elated knowing Kim sees him as brother figure) Porsche telling Kinn that he's stealing his rights as Kim's older brother beacuse Kinn sucks at it and Kinn being thoroughly confused(Tankhuns on thin ice with Porsche) Porsche teasing Kim about embarrassing shit he learns about from Kinn and Tankhun and Kim doing the same back to with stuff he learns about from Chay, Chay making jokes about how Kim's only with him for his brother, Porsche showing up to one of Wiks concerts not because Chay dragged him along but beacuse he wanted to come support Kim himself

#i have a LOT of thoughts about Kim getting adopted by Porsche #Kim deserves the youngest sibling experience of being chased by your elder siblings with a kitchen knife #like the first time before porsche is fully on board with him and kim fucks up with chay #kim highly skilled fighter knows how to kill men twice his size doesnt take shit from anybody #vs Porsche elder brother and out for blood fight #Chay walks in to the kitchen to see Porsche chasing Kim and Kim not knowing how to escape without hurting porsche in the process #which he cant do cause then chay will be mad at him which is what started the whole thing anyway #Kinn also walking in with Chay: Porsche what the fuck #porsche: it is my right as his older brother #kim theerapanyakul #kinnporche the series #kimchay #porchay kittisawasd #porsche kittisawasd #kinn theerapanyakul #also kim: your brother hates me :(#chay:wtf are you talking about i heard him tell kinn the other day if they ever broke up Porsche is keeping you in the divorce

omg like imagineeeee singing your heart out to a sad song — not because you could relate, but because the vocals are just magical and mha boyd are just ??? because last time the checked you and him were on excellent terms. so why are you dancing around talkkjng about “i dont think you ever loveddd meee” by tyrese , he literally just sat there and helped you with your hair, while uttering softly about how much he literally adores your entire existence????

or you hanging off the armrest of the couch, arm thrown over your eyes singing climax. but its not your fault that your playlist decided to play these songs ??? and how were you supposed to know he was back home you thought he left ??? now he’s thinking about the past 30 minutes trying to see if he did something wrong, thinking about how he might have accidentally pulled your hair or forgot about something and is just huffy about it until you tell him you just like the singers voice, and he didnt do nothing wrong

the softer babies who were on the verge of tears cause they really thought some thing bad happened 🥺🥺. you hear a sniffle and rumble arounf trying to turn the music down at least and get to your man tk see whats wrong. you holding him while he bhries his head in your chest and wraps around you scared of you leaving 🥺🥺 promising that he loves you and he sorry for what he did 🥺🥺🥺🥺.

nd ofc you’re laughing while you pepper his face with kisses cause how could he ever think you couldn’t love him ??

ughh.. im just thinking about it yk request are open

#bakugou mean ass would get all mad and huffy mumbling underneath his breath and shit #i feel like izuku could go ethier wayyyy #you cant tell me his ass dont got a smart mouth from hanging around bakugou #so he would probably talk shit too but he still got tgat cry baby in him so a fee tears might escape #serooooo my love my love my loveee #he would be so hurt💔💔#i would be on my kneesssss apologizing😭😭#kiri sould be hurt in the moment then laugh it off later #but still make sure to reassure my bby 💗💗#poor amajiki just wanted to see what you wanted to eat and this what he walks in too?💔#he felt his soullll leave his body😭😭#bitch unt unt APOLOGIZE #seeing him cry would make me and cry and we would both just be crying 😭#you would go and move your sad songs to separate playlist cause this CANNOT happen again #.chasingtheclouds☁️#mha fluff #mha imagines #bakugou katuski x reader #amajiki x black reader #izuku x black reader #mha sero #mha amajiki #mha kirishima #mha denki #mha shinso hitoshi #.mha sleep talks 💤
