some people are very mad at the implication that the LN world is ~All A Dream~ but i dont think thats exactly it? like to me it seems very clear that the ln world is a real place, and all that happens in it is real. i think that what's happening is that when they go to sleep, their consciousness is transported into this paralel reality (the Nowhere) and they leave once they awaken, but as they spent more and more time there they slowly succumb to whatever powers or entities rule that world and they become trapped there. its like. kind of like the dark worlds in deltarune, or the other world in coraline, or the upside down in stranger things, or the fear reality/ies in the magnus archives you get the idea

those entities seem to both feed off of and be created by childrens fear, a paradoxical "it exists because children fear it and children fear it because it exists" thing. in an interview a dev said that "something happened before in [the kids] lives that made them a good fit for little nightmares" and i think that "something" is being traumatized: you have more nightmares that way.

something interesting about six specifically is that she's always described as being from somewhere else, not belonging 'here', etc, one description even says she "awoke in a world she cannot recognize" which. straight up confirms shes Not From This World, but like, if all of the kids came here because of nightmares whats different about her? why do they apparently 'belong' in the nowhere but she doesnt? maybe she has, like, too much willpower to succumb to the powers or something and thus doesnt belong with the other kids trapped here who have all given up, but then again shes also described to be "fading away from this world" at the start of ln2 which does seem to mean that shes succumbing to it? like, giving up and fading away? idk idk

bandai website description, issue 1 of the comic

also from the bandai namco website. six's "terrible fate" might be her succumbing to depression or whatever but have no idea why guiding mono to the signal tower would be important? maybe its not actually about the tower and its just about having a purpose and a friend to hold on to so she still has hope

ok heres my tinfoil hat theory: obv the podcast, the devs, promotional material and concept art all seem to be saying that ''kids go to a nightmare world when they go to sleep and sometimes get trapped there" is whats happening, but this post theorizes that maybe the nightmares noone in the podcast is having are prophetic and like. the nightmares explained video says that "the nightmares are crossing into the real world". what if what happened is that vulnerable kids who kept having nightmares were going to this future reality where the world got fucked up because of these entities, and maybe whenever they succumbed to them the entities were able to use their bodies to cross into our world, which eventually led to them being able to take over? resulting in the future fucked up reality kids were going to in their dreams? its not like little nightmares is unfamiliar with time paradoxes thats basically what happened to mono. idk!!!!

i keep bringing up other media but im not really comparing them im just using similsr exampled to explain what i mean bc its so weird i cant think of how else to do it. anyways what if the kids who fully give up and succumb to the fear become like the goners frok undertale. everyone just forgets they ever existed

#this is just brainstorming i havent been able to stop thinking about this all day #i was resistant to the dream theory before bc i was quite attached to my ''six is a feral kid who grew up in the woods'' headcanon and that #doesnt work if shes just a normal kid from a other world who got isekaid to hell #but! with the podcast it seems like that rlly is where the plots going #so now im recontextualizing everything ik ab this game lol #also what does that make mono??? why the fuck does he randomly have powers????? is he also from a normal world????? oh god the questions #i haven't watched that video theory btw ive just seen quotes of it. i will at some point just not rn #little nightmares #the sounds of nightmares #please tell me if this makes no fucking sense im sleep deprived

Not Astra thinking about writing a Hindu!James slices of life short fic inspired by @charmstwit and Pigeon's Stay with Me characters

Like, I don't even know for sure if James is Hindi there but imagine, the birthday cake handfeeding tradition, navratri during their first year at Hogwarts and James being all nervous about doing it in the dorm -fasting and keeping an oil lamp on for nine days straight-, Diwali with wolfstar gahh I'm melting

#i literally started thinking about it a couple of days ago #and i havent been able to stop #and now im down the rabbit hole of hindu wedding ceremonies #and let me tell you #there's A LOT to be written there #the amount of fluffy fluff that could happen #the amount of sass that Regulus could provide #also #Regulus wedding planning with Euphemia and Hope #this is keeping me up at night #wolfstarbucks #to write

hey have you ever seen road rovers? 90s cartoon about dogs who are tranformed into anthropomorphic superheroes and split their time between being superheroes and also the pets of several world leaders? right well one of the main characters is a dobermann pinscher. did you know that dobermann pinschers dont normally have short pointy ears like he has? and usually they have tails longer than little round stubs? right well this means that he had his ears cropped and tail docked. okay, yeah, but more importantly he's from germany.

the practice of cropping ears was banned in 1992 and tail docking banned in 1996, because the practice was considered to be animal cruelty. which means blitz is the only main character who can be considered to have had experienced animal cruelty. this also means that if you rebooted road rovers and wanted to keep his design completely intact you would have to either make him from a different country, or commit to the fact he was illegally cropped + docked. which seems to be usually done for illegal dog fighting? which means he would have to have been a dog used in illegal dog fighting and not merely a junkyard guard dog. and that means it would probably be practical for blitz and muzzle to be combined into one character, but anyways-

#jadey chitchattering #sorry i havent been able to stop thinking about blitz since i bingewatched the entirety of road rovers in a day #hit the blog rovers

every time I find out that a (usually female) character originally had a beautiful gorgeous striking Nose in their beta/concept design, and it got chopped off for the final cut in favor of a super small """aesthetically pleasing"""" nose,,,,,,, 🔪🔪🔪

#yes this is about karlach #i found out about this days ago but i havent been able to stop thinking about it #this happens to male characters too but usually its the fanartists that cut of their noses and not the source material

[rainbowcolored7]

Let me paint you a picture. It's a normal day, you're hanging out with friends, wandering around downtown, killing time before you go to see Jeff Satur live in concert. You're in a little indoor outdoor shopping mall, there's a bunch of stalls with cute anime knickknacks that you want but can't afford.

Suddenly, you realize it's getting really late because the shopkeepers are closing up, the lights in the mall are starting to turn off. Shit! You're gonna be late and miss the concert! You rush through town, taking back ways, running like your life depends on it cause let's be real this is Jeff live and it kind of does.

You get to the venue. It's too late. They won't let you in. Well, better luck next time, right? You gather your friends and decide to go see the new MileApo movie and you're in luck there's a showing starting soon. So, you get to the theatre, grab your seats, and try to focus on which screen is best because there are like eight of them all around you for some reason. You find this only mildly strange.

The movie starts and oh thank goodness there are subtitles, but thankfully you understand what's being said and don't really need them most of the time. Great! The scene is set, the movie kicks off in a cute little cafe in a fishing town that is situated upon a tall, mountainous island. You're so excited you can barely contain your enthusiasm, but your friend who is now your mother keeps asking where Mile and Apo are? You shrug, maybe they don't show up for a bit? You enjoy the movie for a while, not really sure what's going on with the characters you've been introduced to so far, but they all seem to be secretly struggling with one thing, but nobody will talk about it. Not even you know what it is.

Then! Oh! That was Apo quickly going up those stairs around the corner! You point and shout his name loudly, thankfully nobody in the theater seems to care. They all seem just as excited as you, a few even clap. Unfortunately he's gone again for a little while longer, and still no Mile. You start to get a little worried their names were only put into the movie to get more people to show, and the plot isn't exactly progressing quickly. You're getting a little bored, but you have faith.

Scene change! Finally! Apo appears fully on the screen, he's absolutely adorable! He's just waking up, yawning, stretching, and crawling out of bed. He's dressed in an all red, silky looking, kimono. He starts singing, dancing around a little as he gets ready for his day. He's talking to someone you can't see yet about the little fishing town, about solving their problem (of which you still have no clue about). Grinning widely, he dons a full on monkey mask headdress and turns, arms open wide, to the person he was talking to. It's Mile!!! Apo is the Monkey King! Mile is his advisor, you think?

Together, they head off to the town to help the people. Thank goodness, maybe you'll finally find out what everyone has been freaking out about. Apo is an amazing Monkey King, he's just the absolute most, you're beyond delighted by his performance. Mile seems very normal, not at all like an advisor, his character remains rather quiet and subdued most of the time, giving small advices to the Monkey King here and there. They climb to the very top of the mountain with the characters you've come to know from the town. At the very top, it appears the mountain isnt just any old mountain, it's a volcano! A volcano that is filled nearly to the top with water, reaching deep deep down into the sea.

Everyone starts gearing up with breathing masks, climbing gear, long ropes attached to a pulley system. There aren't enough breathing masks for everyone, so they're gonna have to take turns. The Monkey King perches on the edge of the volcano and announces he will watch over everyone, while Mile announces he will go down with each new group for protection. Still nobody has explained what's going on or why!!! Honestly, you're concerned for Mile's wellbeing because he doesn't actually seem to have any special powers like Apo the Monkey King does.

Slowly, the first group begins their descent. You watch them go, deeper and deeper. Your heartrate picks up, there's a rumble from down below, bursts of bubbles rise. The group has gone so deep, and yet there's still so far to go. They're running out of air already and have to go back, this isn't going to work. They reach the top and inform the Monkey King what happened, there's no point in switching out groups, they won't make it down far enough. You begin to see where this might be going with the whole "secret problem" if the rumbles were anything to go by.

Apo jumps up, fists on his waist, legs spread, wonder woman stance! Understood town folk, I will complete this task for you! Please evacuate the island as soon as possible! Apo the Monkey King leaps into the water, swimming down so fast he's like a speeding rocket. He gets to the bottom and there it is, a HUGE angler fish, long sharp teeth bared and ready to strike. It takes up the entire screen! Apo is so small, how will he ever defeat this monster?!

The Monkey King dances on the nose of the monster angler fish, taunting it, beating it's antennae with his stick and it starts to rise. Higher and higher it climbs, the walls of the volcano vibrate and begin to crumble. You're terrified the cute little fishing town is going to be buried beneath the battle!

The angler monster and the Monkey King burst through the top, spewing out with buckets of water like an erupting volcano. Apo the Monkey King leaps off the monster's nose, swings his stick in slow motion, and whacks the angler in the side so hard it flies off and explodes! There's gore and guts everywhere. You sigh in relief, you think it's over, but the rumbles and shaking haven't stopped, the walls of the mountain are still crumbling. Everyone is leaving the town, it's only Mile and Apo left. They stand next to each other, grasping hands, and the scene ends.

The vibe is calm, you have no idea what happened to the town, but Mile and Apo don't seem concerned, so you trust that things ended up okay in the end. The screen blips a few times, growing blurry and static, and then you see Mile crouched on his heels on the floor of their dark wooden home. Only he doesn't look like Mile anymore. He's taken his true form. Glowing and neon blue, there sits the old sage Monkey King, tired and weary. The day cost him a lot of magic. Removing his headdress, Apo bounces over, hugs and kisses him, then bounds into the next room.

That, apparently, just won't do. Renewed by Apo's love and energy, Mile transforms back into his human form, sans all his clothes except for his tight black briefs, and begins to writhe on the floor like a cat in heat, doing the splits and presenting his ass in the air, calling for Apo to come back.

Apo won't, giggling from the other room. So, in nothing but his little black underwear and, oh, a sudden pair of black high heels, Mile struts down the hall into the room and out of sight.

You just wanted to go to a Jeff Satur concert.

You wake up.

Bro no joke, forgetting that not everyone hates capitalism and then having to try have a reasonable conversation with someone about buying things... *eye twitch*

#to explain we will have person A - person B and then me #so person B is asking me if its ok to buy stuff from ebay - because i am a person that tries to avoid buying from amazon etc #and im like yeah should be because its independent sellers mostly - to be fair though yall. i barely buy anything online because i hate #online shopping. i try to buy things in person instead #anyways insert person A whos like 👁👄👁 oH aRe YoU oNe Of ThOse PeOpLE ThAt DoESNt pUrCHasE frOm AmAzON #yall im sighing just thinking about this conversation omfg its so stupid #anyways queue me explaining that yeah. i try to avoid it if i can because i dont like my money going to some motherfucker who doesnt need #the money (person B pipes in that jeff bezos is on the way to becoming a trillionaire which is Not Good 🙃 . thank you B now i will go on) #A then goes on to explain all the benefits to amazon “what if you want something the next day” i ask if theres really anything you truly #need right away like that. we used to live in times where you would have to wait or find it in a shop. A says “oh but its so cool and #convenient“ and i say sure. because they have the money and grew their business of being more 'convenient' than other businesses #A says “oh but the customer service is so good. if i want a return theyll do it straight away with no questions and maybe even give me #credit too“ and im like yeah. because they can afford to do that. ”sometimes independent sellers are in there too“ ok so buy from them then #If You Must but i can guarantee you mostly dont. not to mentuon theyre probably only on there in the first place because amazon has made it #so its one of the most popular places to use instead of anywhere else #and it went on. i just stopped talking eventually because it eas one of those situations where the other person was not fucking listening to #the point i was trying to make. which is that if you really have to. ok do it whatever. i get that its a bit impossible to avoid sometimes #im not gonna sit here and pretend when ive not been able to get something anywhere else i havent got it from there. but the point is to #actually think about WHY youre buying stuff and WHO the money is going to. because websites like amazon especially have created such a trend #of overconsumption. that you just buy stuff and then buy prime because oh its so cheap and useful and comes right the next day! and you dont #consider why any of these things are true. whos getting fucked over in the process. that you are one of the people getting fucked over!!! #lord i could go on but i shant #point is. genuinely do what you want like deep down i do not care it does not affect me and i know its not so straightforward #but people who just BLATANTLY and actively SUPPORT rich people (forgot to mention A kept talking about how the whole site was smart and that #Jeff was a genius blah blah) can you sit and realise that this whole system and that FUCKING Imbecile of a man are!!¡! a problem!! #i wish i could articulate it better but im leaving it at that #good morning yall xD #le text post
