So, if you are accepting any asks, I have a small question.

Who do you think was longer in The Spiral? And which kids were "born" there? Sorry if this is a stupid ask, or if someone already asked it.

Feel free to ignore! I just really like how you analyze and theorize 'bout everything of The Little Nightmares world; you realize things that most people most likely don't notice, and that's admirable to me!

Thank you so much!!! This makes me very happy to hear, I'm very grateful you enjoy my interpretations of the games. Your question is not stupid at all; it's a very good one, and I see there is a few misconceptions about children who are Nowhere born and children who come from other worlds.

I have seen argued that most children we meet must be kids of the Nowhere due to their ability to survive; for example, a child as young as the Toddler was able to survive for at least a while before being snatched away. However this is not an indicator of them actually being Nowhere born.

Noone herself explains how this is possible in episode one of the podcast. Quoting:

"I turned away from the window, which was only a hole in the stone wall of the curved passageway, that stretched on a long ways. This- odd feeling, told me to get up. But I couldn’t stand because the ceiling was so low."

(...)

"That same feeling told me I was lost inside a giant."

They are being guided by this strong instinct. Which explains why children as young as a Toddler can get around without dying near instantly: they inherently seem to know what to do and they are constantly on the move. If anything, children who are stagnant are more likely to be Residents or becoming Residents; they are the odd ones out. Remaining still means certain death, after all, unless you intend to join the Nowhere.

Here's a diagram to show in short who is what based on what we know about the world. The ones with the * are those who are uncertain.

Visitors

These are the most common kind of children one can meet in the Nowhere: the ones brought from outside, either by the Ferryman or from other forces. Remember; the Ferryman is a guide, not the means.

In Episode 3, Noone was pulled into the Mall, an outside force, and in Episode 4 the Ferryman was not present at all. He is not the only way for one to get inside the Nowhere, he's merely somebody with enough power to intercept some of the children coming in to bring them away with him. I don't doubt that his role is incredibly important, as he's the reason why many children even reach the Nowhere alive, but... he's a harbinger of death, no doubt.

All these children are the nameless ones. The ones whose full journeys we'll never get to see: just segments and fractions. We saw the beginning of Noone's, and the end of RCG's and RK's. Nothing more, and nothing less.

The campfire children in particular are highlighted because of two reasons:

The comics were confirmed to be partially not canonical. Obviously not everything was cut from the comics, since the Ferryman and Mirror Man are both physically there and implied to exist, but due to the vague answer we were given, we'll have to take their tales with a grain of salt.

We could only hear two of four stories; as such, only the Humpback Girl's testimony can be counted as her not being a child of the Nowhere. We can attest this because of a few lines given from her friends:

This place is haunted, though, as well as being sealed. Someone locked the mirrors away a long time ago, but! Interestingly enough, they did not break them. Maybe whoever sealed this place away was hoping for someone to come back?

Considering that Low and Alone are also involved with mirrors, I wonder if Mirror Man's abilities are on par with the Ferryman's, meaning he too can cross the bridge between realities. It could be a reason as to why the Ferryman does not intervene until the very end here. This post is not about him though, so moving on!

Nowhere Children/Residents

Now we're getting to the interesting part of the ask. As you can see in the diagram, we only know a few children who are Nowhere born, and of them, only one of them is 100% factual. Let's go through them one by one.

The Pretender was born and raised in the Nowhere. Period. She has her own mansion, pictures with her parents, and on top of that her family at the very least part of the bourgeoisie.

While powers are not necessarily an indicator of one's belonging to the Nowhere (if Low's powers are of any indication), the Pretender herself has quite the number of supernatural abilities that seem to have been present since her youth, making it hard for her to form meaningful connections with others. She's a very lonely child. This means that these powers most likely developed from her naturally rather than being acquired from the outside, like Six's and possibly even Low's.

(Even then, one can make a small argument to counter with Six developing a small power of her own... but there's a reason as to why I set her aside from everyone else.)

Now, here's someone a lot more interesting to discuss (both on this topic and in general): Mono.

He's a real special little guy. Taking into context the etymology of his name, the meanings we get always tie back to the idea of there being one of him. A single, unique little boy. Looking at the descriptions we were given of Mono, we can find out some more about him and his backstory:

Interesting as this is on a character perspective, what I would like to direct your attention on here is the mentions of the world. Here, it's mentioned that Mono is aware that the world outside hates him. Being a single minded child living in the Nowhere this makes a lot of sense; what is interesting here is the wording.

There is never the mention of "another world" in Mono's descriptions, unlike Six's descriptions in which it is directly mentions her not originating from the Nowhere.

For Mono, it's not a world: it's the world. Almost as if there is no other world he knows by now.

His nature is also rather unique. You see, Mono is a glitch. Not in the traditional Glitching Remain way, but still not entire enough to be considered a human being. For one, he quite literally glitches multiple times: we see it happen everytime he is near a Remain and is about to absorb them, whenever he gets too close to the Thin Man, he even glitches as he channels his powers to use them.

The Thin Man causing him to glitch is especially interesting because when he motions to grab him, Mono does not split in two like Six does. There is no body to be left behind: instead, he flies into Thin Man's hand and you can visibly see his body go both entirely glitchy and instantly limp.

(You can see it for yourself in this video; pay attention to him struggling when other enemies grab him vs how quickly he stops moving as soon as the Thin Man gets his hands on him.)

This indicates his nature as not being human the same way Six is, for example, but rather a product of the Nowhere. Due to how his cycle works, this makes sense: for the Tower to have a continuous of energy supply and access to the power of the Transmission, Mono needs to live through this experience over and over for as long they deem fit. This could also explain some other odd factors of his, such as not having to take a break when running and his almost grayish skintone.

While it can be argued that at the beginning of this whole mess Mono was a Visitor rather than a Resident, at this point in time many factors point to the version of him we play as being a Nowhere child.

The Refugee Boy is, as for the campfire kids... complicated to expand on due to the dubious nature of his story: nevertheless, I will still bring forth my evidence.

When the children begin telling Six their stories, the Refugee is the first to narrate his tale and he begins doing so by showing her a memento of his previous life outside of the Maw. This comes across as being peculiar on its own as no other child that we know of has anything of the like.

As you can read here, children in his village are given charm against the North Wind that one day suddenly stop working. This implies that, unlike the Mirror Man, the North Wind has always been a tangible threat looming over their birth land.

It could be easy to chalk this up to N.W. being a local legend where the boy used to live and he had a nightmare about him, but it is then mentioned that he and his sister have been running away from him for years. Much longer than any of the dreams Noone ever had.

This was a long pursuit. We know thanks to the LN III trailer that "normal" looking adults and cities existed in the Nowhere; this explains away both the Refugee's village existing and the other groups of people that chased them away when they brought around the North Wind.

While this evidence is good enough to stand on its own, it has a couple of points against it, which is why I marked the Refugee as "unsure".

The narrator could be considered unreliable. In this same screenshot I added right above, the narrator states that the siblings were welcomed everywhere, but we can visibly see them be chased away by the villagers. This can be interpreted as meaning "they were originally welcomed, but when the North Wind arrived as a consequence, they were chased off", but we don't have enough substance to back this up.

^ Supporting the above take, the narrator also says that the children have been running for years, but we visibly see that they remain the same during all this time. The sister not changing makes sense as the Ferryman has taken her place, but the Refugee also doesn't change at all. We don't know how fast time passes in the Nowhere, so it could also be attributed to that, but it must be mentioned for fairness' sake.

The Refugee's words: I'm not running anymore. This sentiment has never been echoed before, nor will it ever be echoed again. As I said earlier, being stale in the Nowhere only leads to two things: death or permanence. His surrendering could indicate that he has chose to remain in the Nowhere after being stuck in it for a long time, thus becoming an official Resident. If this is the case, he could classify as a "Visitor turned Resident".

With this, I suggest we move on to our last and currently final segment:

Visitors turned Residents

This one is an interesting breed. We don't get to see the act of a child turning into a permanent part of the Nowhere all that often; Noone could count as that, but we don't yet know if she ultimately decides to be still in the Nowhere or if she'll regret her choice.

We do have the most importantly character of this narrative as an example to this, however.

Six, my dearly beloved... what a terrible path she's gone down to. I have already displayed the evidence stating that Six is from a different world than the Nowhere up un Mono's section so I won't dwell on it.

Thin Man splitting her in two is what doomed her and, as hard as she tried to fight it, her trip to the Maw was the nail in the coffin. No matter how far away from it she gets: she will never be free from the influence it had on her person. When it comes to the LN I ending, this is what the writers had to say on it:

(From this interview. It's an interesting one; they also confirm that the Signal Tower and the Maw were not places that were "built" but that exist for various reasons, which supports the idea that they are entities rather than buildings.)

I think Six is not leaving the Nowhere anytime soon. If at all. She might have left the Maw, but at this point, she's ventured too far in to turn back to the person she was before. To think none of this is even her fault is saddening, to say the least, but horrifically realistic.

Sisi... is an incognita. I've only put her in this category to be fair, since we don't know anything about her. There is a possibility that she has grown up to become a Resident, but it's just as likely that she may have died off somewhere, like many others before and after her.

I will not be dwelling into the adults for now, but we do have reason to believe that some of them are most definitely Visitors turned Residents. Most notable is the Lady who, in her character description, directly expresses discomfort with how nonsensical the Nowhere is － a sentiment only someone who knows alternatives to it can have.

It also indicates a surprising level of self awareness to some extent; most Nowhere inhabitants do not question the nature of their world, not even important and powerful beings like, say, the Thin Man.

I hope this answers your question!

Little Nightmares Concept Art Kids

I’ve resurrected and will return to my Little Nightmares roots.

Starting off with a simple theory in my inbox that I long since accidently deleted, but it went like this:

[Six could be named “Six” because there were five kids before her in the concept art.]

The concept kids are used as photo models and two of them are used to model two random kids in the first game. However, all five of them together make an appearance in VLN:

The concept kid’s framed photos can be found hidden in the Nest.

I’ve seen people theorize that the nomes here could have once been the children in these photos.

But that’s not the case.

We know why these photos exist. Because we know how the Nest works. A child who has had their photo taken and hung has already been captured and turned into a doll for the Pretender to play with. So these nomes are not the five concept kids. If these kids have their own framed photos then that means their corpses are somewhere on the Nest:

And here they are. All five of them. Having tea and cookies with the Pretender.

Turns out the concept kids never even made it to the Maw and most likely had died way before Six had even arrived on the Nest. So they have nothing to do with her or why she’s named “Six”. And I doubt these kids had numerical names to begin with.

Six is the “Sixth” for a whole different reason.

#six #the pretender #nomes #concept art #the maw #the nest #very little nightmares #little nightmares #little nightmares 2 #theory #theories #vln #ln theory #little nightmares six #little nightmares theory #small/pretty much confirmed theory #is the ln fandom still alive???lol

Little Nightmares 2 Foreshadowed in Very Little Nightmares?...or something worse...

Of all the secret rooms to be uncovered within Very Little Nightmares, there has always been one room which has garnered a lot of attention and question, it’s the room where we find the broken eggs and a single functioning tv hanging from the pipes, above a single baby bird. For the longest time, many theorists and I couldn’t help but wonder what this room in particular had to say about the lore of the Nest.

by analyzing the room we see the following:

-broken eggs with the yolks spilled out

-a functioning tv

-a single living baby bird standing underneath a T.V. ,which is suspended from a rope tied around a pipe. The rope around the tv is dangerously close to breaking it’s last thread, dooming the baby bird to be crushed the moment the T.V. falls on it.

-wallpaper depicting eyes all around the room

-a single dead adult pigeon

-numerous locks on the door

-a secret passage leading into and out of the room through the vents

At fist, it was believed this room was meant to be some sort of foreshadowing for Little Nightmares 2 as the room presented eerily similar characteristics to the room the Thin Man was trapped in within the Black Tower. The T.V. emits a blue/purple glow similar to the towers hypnotic transmission, but then again...all the T.V.s are like this. The walls are lined with eyes similarly to the flesh eyes which hide behind the walls of the tower, but then again... it’s not uncommon to see the walls lined with eyes, we see them all over the place in the Maw, the Nest and the Pale City, either as wallpaper or drawings, it was as if they were set as a reminder of the eye entities constant watch, presence and influence over the residents of the world .

Many theorized the dead older pigeon might have symbolized the Thin Man and his final fate, while the baby bird was left to represent Mono as the now younger inhabitant of the room. However, there was always one little detail about the room which made I, and many theorists, question everything...the door. The door is locked, except, upon closer inspection, we realized...it was locked from the inside.

Now, what does this mean exactly? it means there was once someone who inhabited the room, someone who could leave if they wanted, which did not fit into the lore of the Thin Man as we analyzed the Thin Man as a prisoner within the Black Tower, leaving Mono as the only person capable of opening the door from the outside in order to set the Thin Man free.

But if the room in the Nest was not meant to represent the Thin Man inhabiting the Tower, then could this potentially mean there was another inhabitant of the Nest within this isolated room?...maybe, but if so, then...where did they go? and what was this room to them?....unless....what if this room was no ordinary room...what if it always had a simple purpose, we just couldn’t see it at first

Whoever resided in this room was someone who had the capability and paranoia to lock themselves inside such a small space on purpose. Based on how isolated the room is, as well as the series of locks which can only be accessible from the inside, its almost as if this room was... a safe house/panic room inhabited by a resident of the Nest. However, knowing what we know now about the world and the eye entity we theorized is responsible for it’s ongoing downfall (more here), it would appear as though the inhabitant of this room might not have been able to obtain the safety they wanted.

We have always theorized the people of this world felt the effects of the eye entities influence corrupting their minds in a slow and ongoing process. The first sign of its hold on a person was theorized to be depicted by the persons sudden and unknowing desire to draw or incorporate eyes within every inch of their surroundings. In this case, the inhabitant of the room might have had the sudden desire to incorporate eyes onto the rooms’ walls as they felt the eye entities influence corrupting them.

However, considering the locks within this room are still attached to the door and locked in place, it’s almost as if the room was set up to tell us something happened to the inhabitant, while they were still in the room, but what?, unless...what if the room already gave us an answer?

Upon closer inspection, many theorists and I began to realize the peculiar presence of the single T.V. within the room, now, what was so bizarre about it? Well, this T.V., which was dangling from a pipe on the celling...was not plugged into any electrical source...so then, how was it able to stay in power?

And of all the things which could be in this room, why was there a T.V. dangling from such an obscure location?...then again... we have seen this kind of thing before, all over the Pale City. When we traveled through the Pale City in Little Nightmares 2, the one thing many of us took note of was the various TVs in obscure places. We saw TVs hanging from the edge of balconies, clothes lines, through multiple broken floors within a building etc., but the most bizarre thing noted about these TVs, was how many of them were not plugged into any electrical source, yet they still remained in power.

Based on the bizarre locations of some electrical cords, such as the one in a viewers apartment which extended from underneath the toilet to the electrical outlet on the wall, and upon discovering the T.V. in the apartment had short circuited the moment the Viewer touched the electrocuted water, we had theorized the Pale City harbored abnormal T.V.’s which were not only capable of extending their electrical cords to the nearest source of power, but remain in power no matter where they were located.

As for how these obscure T.V.’s came to be, well, we've always theorized the T.V.’s within the Pale City were being produced by the one thing which connected all the chaos seen throughout the Pale City...the Black Tower(aka, the part of the eye entity which manifested in the pale city, more here), all of which was theorized to be for the simple desire of expanding it’s reach to obtain more and more victims.

As the tower strengthened, we had realized there eventually came a time when inhabitants of the city could no longer escape the hypnotic transmission by simply removing and destroying the T.V.’s in their homes, because as the towers strength peeked, so did the threat of the T.V.’s. At some point within the Pale City, the T.V.’s began to appear anywhere and everywhere, wherever a living being could be, even as far as the Hunter’s vast empty wood fields.... and maybe even... farther than that. These T.V.’s scattered all around, may not have just remained in power by some functioning electrical source, but by the one thing which connected all of them, the very thing which manifested them in the first place, the Tower itself.

Where am I going with this?, well, if the Tower was responsible for the manifestation of the many T.V.’s in the Pale City, if it is truly able to extend its reach to manifest even more T.V.’s in places as far as the woods, then,...who knows how much farther the tower was able to manifest its televisions as its transmission continued to broadcast farther beyond the city...maybe even...as far as the Nest?

We have always theorized the Nest was within distance of the Pale City, hence why a child like Six could have survived a journey overseas the moment she boarded the plank of wood at the bottom of the mountain (near the end of Very Little Nightmares), repurposing it as a small raft . If the Nest was not to far from the Pale City, then this meant it could still more or less receive the transmission the tower was broadcasting.

How do we know for sure it was?, well...In the Nest’s playroom, there was a drawing of a tall man wearing a hat, this drawing could have been of anyone, the Pretenders caretaker, their father, someone else she knew?...or maybe it was of someone she saw, not in person...but through the T.V.’s.

Was the drawing we saw in the playroom...a drawing of the Thin Man?...honestly who’s to say...then again... if Mono had already defeated the former resident of the black tower around this time(more here), and if he had truly been forced to repeat his loop a number of times long before meeting Six(more here and here), then maybe...just maybe...his all to familiar silhouette we all saw walking out of the T.V., back in Little Nightmares 2, may not have been just for our viewing pleasure, in other words... who’s to say his silhouette wasn’t broadcasted throughout all the T.V.’s each and every time he escaped the tower and/or traveled through the T.V.’s.

We know one of the Pretenders activities is watching the numerous T.V.’s in her T.V. room, but with all the T.V.’s in the Nest displaying the same static noise, who knows what more she saw through the screen....and who knows what more the transmission could have done by reaching out to places as far as the Nest.

Perhaps it wasn’t all to strange to find a single T.V. dangling from a pipe within that bizaar room of the Nest,...because what if it had to be a T.V. ... because unlike everything else in the Nest, it was a T.V which had the capability of appearing anywhere and everywhere... providing the transmission through its screen, trapping anyone who gazed upon it, including whomever resided in the room.

(pause for break)

But if the Nest was truly receiving the towers broadcast, then could it be the T.V. we saw in this secret room, simply appeared the moment it’s inhabitant decided to isolate themselves from the rest of the Nest?...maybe.

If the T.V. had truly appeared in the room and began to warp the inhabitants mind just as it had done to many others within the Pale City(and around the world) through the transmission, then one can only imagine the events which transpired as this person slowly, but surely, began to lose their sanity and their connection to reality, until finally... they became lost, fueled by whatever corrupt desire/base instinct they latched onto, evidently becoming another Viewer or Resident of “the eye entities” world, the only question is...what did they become in the end?

Residents of the world, like the Teacher, the Chefs, the Doctor, the Lady etc. may move about on whatever desire/base instinct that fuels them blindly throughout the world, but they are still able to function enough to not leave themselves trapped in a room, they can traverse throughout whatever building or location they are in. No, based on the various cracked eggs and dead pigeon, its almost as if there was a very sudden, and very major struggle.

Now, if the inhabitant of this secret room had truly been ensnared by the transmission, if they had instead become a Viewer, then... why weren't there any clothes or items left behind in the room? what am I talking about? well, we have always theorized the Viewers bodies were sucked into the T.V.’s, the only thing left of them were the clothes they once wore, in the exact spot they once stood.

However, there were no clothes in the secret room, so what could have happened to the inhabitant of the room if they became a Viewer?...unless...what if “the girl in the yellow raincoat” already gave us an answer.

When a Viewer is entranced by the transmission, they do not feel compelled to move away from the screen, they just stand there, hypnotized and pacified by the wonderful word it offers them, leaving their true surroundings to remain untouched and wither away. If anything dared interrupt their focus on the T.V.’s, they would face the Viewers wrath....but what would happen if there was nothing to watch? Every single T.V. seen throughout the Nest, does not display any form of content, its all just a bunch of staticky white noise...but that’s exactly it isn’t it...there was just nothing to watch, and if there was no content, then this would mean the transmission was struggling to broadcast to all the T.V.’s, which would essentially give way to the same situation surrounding the Viewers in the Pale City.

What am I talking about? well, in the Pale City, we discover many Viewers are able to act berserk if there is no functioning T.V. nearby. One Viewer who fell through the roof, smashed their head in the nearby T.V., however, this T.V. was not in power and did not provide the transmission to pacify the Viewer in order to prevent them from smashing their head through the screen.

The Viewers who pursued Mono in the grocery store, were discovered to no longer be pacified by the T.V.’s the moment the Thin Man was set free. We additionally discovered the Viewers in episode 5 of the Little Nightmares 2 comics, caught the Ghost child the moment the T.V. shut down (situation in episode 5 was similar, but a little different, more on that here).

What does this mean exactly? it means whomever resided in this room may have exhibited the same behaviors as the Viewers who chased Mono and attacked the ghost child once their T.V. failed to provide the transmission. The inhabitant of the room, may have gone berserk, lashing out at anything nearby, struggling to find some way out to search for another T.V. that could provide them the transmission once more, until finally...they found a way out...through the vent the “Girl in the yellow raincoat” discovered long after the room was finally left empty. Due to the location of the vent and the position of the vent cover being left leaning on the wall, its almost as if someone, some poor unfortunate child, had the misfortune of opening the vent and freeing whatever or whomever resided inside the room.

Is this why there was a dead pigeon and numerous broken eggs?. Had the pigeon made the unfortunate mistake of nesting in this room and disrupted the Viewer which resided inside, then the pigeon itself, along with its numerous eggs, would have suffered the wrath of the Viewer. The only egg to survive, would have been the one egg it incubated, the only egg which had the fortune of being nested under the T.V, providing it the advantage of remaining in a safer position as the Viewer focused its attention on the broadcast rather than the egg which laid silently below, ready to hatch at any moment, but ultimately facing the cruel fate of being born under a dangling T.V. hanging by its final thread.

Now, had this inhabitant(possibly Viewer), left through the same air duct the girl in the yellow raincoat found, then...where are they now? there were no clothes left in this room so they couldn’t have been sucked into the T.V., meaning they must have gone somewhere else. Then again, if this Viewer had truly escaped, then odds are...it could not have gone far the moment it encountered the Residents of the Nest. We have never seen a Resident and a Viewer interact, but perhaps an interaction such as this may not be so different to the Guests of the Maw and the Residents who cater to them. In the Maw, the Residents do not care for what happens to the lives of the Guests, their only purpose is to eat until it is time for them to be drained of their life force by the Lady of the Maw to sustain the Maw and keep it thriving, then use their bodies to feed to other Guests and help the Maw continue to grow.

Because the Pretender is as short tempered as she is, then one could only imagine what she could have done or what her staff could have done had they encountered the inhabitant of the room wandering the Nest. Nevertheless, we can be certain of one thing, no matter who they were or what they did, if they had truly managed to escape from the confines of their tiny room, their fate would have been anything but merciful...but hey!, its just a theory...a Little Nightmares 2 theory!

Memes about the theory I’m working on because it’s the only way for me to stay sane as I learn about the Lady’s crimes against humanity.

In chronological order!

[I finished that theory and you can read it here]

#little nightmares #memes #the lady #she’s slowly pulling a Belos as time goes on and I learn more #also hey did you know that we’re all wrong and the Maw has no cycle of succession #it’s all just her #also Six isn’t the Lady #and the Pretender and VLN in general is a massive linchpin #I’m making all of these instead of working on my theory #i should get back to that

little nightmares 2 theory: Six is the Hunter’s daughter.

we see when Mono collects the rain hat that the Hunter isn’t above trapping/killing children, and Six obviously doesn’t have any sort of powers yet so there doesn’t seem to be any supernatural reason for her being held captive. the Hunter also never tries to shoot Six when he’s chasing her and Mono down. what if she’s being held in the basement as a form of punishment (read: abuse)?

maybe she and the Hunter used to have a good relationship before the death of his family, or perhaps he visited Pale City and became corrupted by exposure to the signal tower (the mannequins in the attic imply that he’s an acquaintance of the Doctor, and there’s a drawing of the tower in Six’s room; how does she know about that?) Of course, he could also have easily just always been a terrible person, but it’s nice (though tragic) to imagine that Six had a happier life at one point

#just an idea i had #now i want to draw the hunter being an actual good father figure to six #also just want to note that i haven’t played VLN so idk about any of her backstory from that game #i also haven’t read the comics which i’m assuming are canonical? i probably should do that first but oh well i already posted this lol #little nightmares #little nightmares 2 #little nightmares theory #ln six #ln the hunter #little nightmares six #little nightmares the hunter

ok actual sounds of nightmares "analysis" here we go

i've seen other loose theories already stating that noone is being routinely summoned so some sort of "nightmare world" by a higher power, and tbh im really hoping this isnt some dimension-hopping multiverse bs. to me it feels like noone is instead transported to other parts of the world that have been corrupted after falling asleep, or at least receives a glimpse of them as if she were really there, except she doesn't have much control over what she sees. being able to dream mutually with others or even bilocate doesn't seem that far-fetched compared to the other kids' magical powers. the LN world is already fraught with all sorts of magic and i wanna know more about that specifically.

timeline-wise i think we're going even further back in time, even before VLN, which is something i've said i'd like to see! the imagery and layout of the first location is quite similar to the Maw, with furnance connected to a dwelling connected to a prison. not sure if the bath house was a part of it, or if it's somewhere on the mainland. But if it's the former, perhaps we're seeing the Maw under a different governess' reign when it was functionally very different. complete with different subordinates to do her bidding, and a different sort of "shadow" workers that were perhaps born from a similar type of magic. plus the Maw as we know it had a more layered appearance, like it was constantly being built upon over the years. tho the world is so massive that we don't know if there are other similar facilities spread throughout. both seem plausible, but the imagery seems to intentionally invoke something familiar to the audience

speaking of familiar, I also have no doubt in my mind that the man with the impossible face is the Ferryman, and that he's unfathomably old by the time we first saw him. while it's his job to bring kids to the maw, it's not clear yet if he's intentionally showing noone these visions or hunting her down. perhaps something is trying to warn her that he's on her tail. i still think calling him the "candle man" is a bit odd considering we have the wax bellman holding that comparison already

tell me more about this "mono isnt a human" theory thats really interesting

Thanks for asking! A few people have asked for my thoughts on Mono’s identity, and because I will take any opportunity to ramble about Little Nightmares, I wrote up my (hopefully intelligible) interpretation of Mono, and why I think he was always a Resident of The Nowhere, instead of a kidnapped human child like most of the LN kids. This theory is super connected to a few other ones I have, so I’ll rattle descriptions of them at the start for context. Also this post is insanely long I’m sorry

The Nowhere

The Nowhere is its own world that real children get kidnapped to, it feeds off of humanity and kinda functions like your local mall. A weird amount of emphasis is put on jobs in The Nowhere, Residents are often referred to solely by their job titles (The Janitor, The Doctor, The Teacher, etc. etc.)

Besides having a job in The Nowhere, a Resident's proximity to humanity seems to give them a higher status as well. In a LN1 interview, it was said that ALL residents wear masks (as opposed to just the Twin Chefs); we even see in LN2 that The Doctor makes and presumably sells these masks. A humanoid appearance is something that most Residents want. The more humanoid a Resident looks, the more powerful they are perceived to be (not always, because of The Ferryman, but he’s just chill like that.)

Kids and valuable teens/adults (like the circus performers and Otto from the podcast) feed The Nowhere kinda like how animals feed humans. Some Residents are given jobs to maintain this system. Some jobs require more power than others however, typically these are the jobs that require a Resident to keep control over an entire area, which leads me to…

The Cycle

The head honcho Residents like The Thin Man and The Lady are more humanoid and more powerful than the others, this is because they are handpicked and raised from birth to inherit these forms that are passed down over time. This one is super important to most of my points about Mono, so I’m going to spend some time defending it.

The Lady (prior to the Six stuff) had 4 predecessors, each represented by a different mask/hat that you can collect in VLN; This means that The Nowhere (at the time of the first loop in LN2) is on its 5th cycle. The Thin Man is also a mantle that is passed down, we see the previous one interact with Mono before Mono has even entered a time loop in the LN2 comics. This Thin Man, when datamined, notably wears a different hat than Mono’s iteration.

Furthermore, when asked if Thinny Lad is a mantle that is passed on or Mono in a timeloop in an interview, the devs had this to say:

The Pretender (VLN) is a good example of what I think Mono is supposed to be, and what the child forms of the 5th cycle Residents were. The Pretender is a humanoid child with supernatural powers and a strong sense of loneliness. She has her own mansion and Resident servants. The Pretender is the heir to a currently unknown position. She has a portrait of her and five past iterations on her wall, followed by another one of her and her two Resident parents. The Pretender is native to The Nowhere.

But… who is the boss of all the Residents? Who assigns these jobs? Who creates the natural Residents and brings others into The Nowhere?

The Eye

(you could argue its the ferryman but i think he works under the eye too. employee of the year)

I think most fans agree on this one so I won't spend too long on it, but basically I think the Eye is the unseen overall antagonist of Little Nightmares, overseeing everything and everyone in The Nowhere all the time. The Eye feeds off of misery and has a fate planned for everyone, it is not happy when anything throws a wrench into these plans. I don’t think we are meant to know The Eye’s motives, not yet at least, but if I had to guess; they have something to do with an extremely misguided and angry feeling of loneliness, as that is a prevalent theme in an insane amount of Residents. This finally brings me to Mono.

Mono’s Familiarity with The Nowhere

Mono is very familiar with Pale City, he is much more aware of his own fate, abilities, and world than he’s given credit for.

In the door/boat cutscene, Mono watches every TV in the water until it exits the frame. This early in the game, Mono already has an inherent connection to TVs.

Before Pale City comes into frame for both Six and the player, Mono is already standing, he is familiar enough with the route to Pale City that he knows they arrived without even having a clear view of their destination. This is because Mono has been to Pale City before, in the sixth episode of the LN2 comics:

In this comic, Mono met (and wasn't killed by) The Thin Man shown earlier. So to list off the amount of things Mono was already familiar with at the start of LN2: His connection to TVs, his connection to The Thin Man, and how to navigate Pale City. Mono having a lot of experience living in The Nowhere is demonstrated somewhere even more prominent too:

Kickass Character Design

Six’s character design intentionally makes her not fit in with her environment. While the color scheme of The Nowhere and its residents is mostly bland, monochrome, and washed out (sans the lighting), her jacket is highlighter yellow. This represents that Six does not belong in The Nowhere, she’s from the human world.

With this information to ride off of, Mono’s design becomes interesting. Mono’s design is a beige button up, tan trench-coat, and tan pants: A monochrome, muted outfit that fits in perfectly with the aesthetic of The Nowhere. Mono’s outfit including a key ring and a useful color scheme for camouflage further implies familiarity and experience with the way The Nowhere works. If Six’s simple, bright design represents her not belonging there, Mono’s muted, practical design represents the fact that he does.

His Mask

We actually know why Mono wears his mask, we have a direct answer:

You can interpret this as a representation of Mono being shy or insecure or a combination of multiple things, but I think it’s mainly meant to represent, as the description states: Mono hiding from The Nowhere, Mono running away from his fate. The Eye wants Mono to grow up and be the next Thin Man, but he doesn’t want to. Mono’s mask represents his fear, his refusal to use his Thin Man powers, his refusal to do anything that connects him to the world that hates him and wants him to fail; he wants to hide from that world, his future, and the reality of what he is. But ….

(straight up a post of Mono running from his fate)

Unexplained Powers

Mono’s OP reveal was the moment that shook me the most when I first watched my sister play the game; I’ve honestly always been shocked at how little it’s talked about in the community. To me, it was a reveal that told us we Did Not REALLY know much about the character we had been playing the entire time, and that was exciting.

When Mono fights the Thin Man and contorts the structure of Pale City, it is with ease. This is not his first time doing any of this, his body language does not match that of someone who just discovered/unlocked a new ability, him busting out the moves is framed more like a choice that he decided on just before removing his mask. The Thin Man boss battle is easy on purpose; because it's not too hard for Mono in universe, all he does after is wipe off his head nonchalantly and then he proceeds to warp reality. The ominous boss theme that plays during this fight isn’t even for the Thin Man, its MONO’S boss music. The Thin Man is the one who helps control The Signal Tower’s influence, Mono is the one interfering with it, he is the “Signal Interference.” The theme continues even after he’s defeated The Thin Man, further hammering in that it is his.

Mono has his own ominously powerful boss theme and the abilities of one of the most powerful Residents at his disposal; he is not a normal kid.

Mono even shares a power with the established Resident heir that we already know; The Pretender.

When The Pretender sees RCG eavesdropping on her crying, she yells so loud that it physically hurts RCG, causing the screen to glitch. I don’t think this is just a visual effect to show how loud it is to the player; I think this is an in universe ability. You know where else we see a powerful child amplify their voice on purpose to harm an enemy with a screen glitch/distortion effect? Mono in Chapter 5.

Mono and the fifth Thin Man

I think that Mono ran away from wherever it is he’s supposed to be, (probably the Signal Tower) and The Eye/ Thin Man want him back; this is why Mono is not killed by The Thin Man in the comic, just pursued by him

Loneliness

I don’t think I even really need to dissect how loneliness relates to Mono’s character, but he’s not the only character who deals with it. A huge recurrent theme with Residents is loneliness; the sense that they need something, they are missing something. The Lady has a bunch of dolls, The Janitor has.. a bunch of dolls in his own way. The Hunter too. The Pretender runs off to cry when her human doll friend gets messed up at her dinner party. The Resident we meet in Chapter 3 of the podcast is the most direct example so far of intense loneliness in a Resident, and not so coincidentally, it has a ton of parallels to Mono.

Narrative

For the rest of this post, I’m going to focus on how I think this theory fits into the story; because I think factoring in the cutscenes and storytelling beats is important when putting together something’s lore.

A little chatter about Mono

Mono is often characterized as a shy little boy who plays the straight man to Six’s feral goblin who loves eating rats, which is a whole other can of worms, but with this characterization I feel like some fun and interesting parts of his character are neglected, such as: The fact that Mono is an ominous little weirdo. His attempt at trying to save and comfort someone is to hack down her door with an ax with no warning, then proceed to chase her through the house she’s been trapped in; Mono is not too familiar with human interaction. Mono isn’t really a dashing hero who tries to save every kid he comes across either. In the comics, Mono finds an area that is away from the monster killing all the kids, but it’s not like he tells the other kids or tries to bring them with him or anything. I don’t think that this means he is a toxic manipulative character or anything because he is. 9 or 10 years old. I think if anything, this is a trait that experienced characters in The Nowhere have: RCG and Mono both know that indifference is the way to survive in The Nowhere, good deeds usually get you killed. It’s the way things are. I think overall Mono is a well meaning boy who just talks and acts ominously, because that’s what he is used to; he’s an eldritch overpowered being who lives in hell if it had a 1940s aesthetic.

I think that Mono doesn’t start the game a sweet perfect little boy whose ending is sad because he gets betrayed, that’s not a character arc. I think Mono starts off relatively morally gray out of necessity, mostly helping Six out because it was kinda his fault she got captured. He develops into someone who is willing to fight his fate, fight the Nowhere and stop resorting to the escapism his mask provides, only to get crushed to rock bottom in spite of his growth. After all, the villain of Little Nightmares is The Nowhere itself.

How this creates character conflict in the plot

Anytime Mono goes into a weird TV trance, Six is horrified. Her body language tenses and she moves away from him. Six has seen first hand that even the kids like her in The Nowhere cannot always be trusted or relied on (RCG shutting the door on her). Some kids like the Pretender aren't even normal kids, they have powers they use to kill people. The one person Six is starting to trust, and he’s showing signs of possessing supernatural powers? Terrifying. Mono notices these reactions, they give him more cause to hide what he truly is from her. Residents scare and disgust Six, he doesn’t want to lose the only person he has.

This conflict leads me to another point; you know those moments of Six being sadistic and angry towards Residents? How an ominous music cue plays when she kills the bully and breaks the mannequin’s fingers? Earlier in the game, when Six first catches Mono, his part of Togetherness II plays briefly to show his feelings in that moment, which implies that the music cues we hear when a story beat happens are Mono’s reactions. I don’t think these scary music cues are because Mono is scared of Six being creepy, Mono himself likes to beat up Residents. I think that Mono is scared in these moments when he sees the extent of Six’s hatred towards Residents, because even though he doesn’t like them either… Imagine how she’d react if she knew about him.

It is only the Thin Man fight when Mono is finally pushed to the point of using his powers, because in the plan to get Mono to the Signal Tower: The Thin Man took Six as bait. Six was constantly pulling Mono out of his TV trances, Six was supposed to die back at The Nest, Six has been a problem for the Eye since the start and now it’s time to kill two birds with one stone, to sentence Six to her new fate and to crush Mono’s spirit so hard that he finally resigns to his.

The drop is its whole own debate, but whatever you think about it, I think at least one factor in Six’s decision is that from her perspective: Mono has revealed himself to be an entity she cannot trust, he didn't tell her either; he's been hiding it this entire time. Why didn’t he use this power to help them all the previous times they were in danger? What are his motives? What IS he? This, mixed with other factors, causes the drop. (a lot of manipulation on the part of The Nowhere is involved too imo but this isn't a Drop analysis)

Mono is crushed, he loses Six and any true feeling of empowerment that he had before. Rather than The Eye trapping him in the Signal Tower and forcibly transforming him into a resident, I think Mono actually accepts his fate because hes just. That depressed. He actually ages pretty normally for most of the sequence (except for being straight up like 12 feet tall, the podcast confirmed that Residents are just super super big as opposed to the kids being really small, bros got Resident genes) This sequence from the art book leads me to think that Mono knows what the hat entails, Mono chooses to run the Signal Tower like The Lady runs The Maw. The chair sequence is not actually him sitting in a chair for that long, I think it just represents his resignation more than anything.

BUT! Mono is an “uncommonly single minded boy,” who also has control over time, i.e. Mono Thin Man slowing down time in his chase just to fuck with you or the clock sounds in The End of The Hall. Whether you think he goes back for revenge or to stop the downfall of everything, he goes back in time. I think it's on purpose, I think every TV in the background of the first scene implies that Mono has gone back to this point in time over and over again, failing repeatedly, leaving a new TV behind and forgetting the past attempt each time.

This could all be wrong, maybe Mono is just a really badass 4th grader from the human realm who got his abilities like Six, just off screen. But one thing I love about LN is all of the different, creative and interesting interpretations of the fans. So here’s mine regarding Mono lore. Sorry this was so long and I write posts weirdly it is 4 AM. I hope you enjoyed

#little nightmares #little nightmares 2 #mono ln #six ln #little nightmares theory #i meant it when i said i could talk forever abt this franchise. the floodgates were unleashed #sorry i don’t usually post theories so i know this isn’t like #super polished game theory levels of organized at all #but little ominous eldritch being mono means a lot to me #some of the achievement names are in first person and it’s so funny like he words shit like dracula #the achievement for holding hands with six for six minutes is #in the palm of my hand #what an ominous way to refer to hand holding #love u lil weirdo

Soooooooo... That final chapter of the Sounds of Nightmares am I right? First off it was amazing, I loved this series and second off I want to get the identities of some characters established.

Cece wore a yellow raincoat judging by Otto's reaction when Noone mentioned seeing one. That means Cece is (well was) the Yellow Raincoat girl from Very Little Nightmares.

I know most of us probably think of Six whenever a yellow raincoat is mentioned in the lore of Little Nightmares, but Cece is most likely not Six. Raincoat Girl (Cece) probably came to the No Where with her coat, and lost it when she died at the end of VLN. Six then later acquired that coat in Little Nightmares 2.

So that means we still have no idea where Six came from or who she really is. I actually really like that, we've learned where the raincoat came from and we learned some stuff about the Raincoat girl. But Six herself remains a mystery.

Quickly going back to Cece, knowing that she is dead makes Otto's ending more messed up. It's heavily implied that he is going to send other kids to the No Where in a desperate bid to get access to the place in order to find Cece.

But Cece is dead. What he is going to end up doing is going to all be for nothing, and he will probably never know that.

Now there is a chance in LN 3 that we could see Otto again and find out if he ever did make it to the No Where. But we'll have to wait and see if on that note. I wonder if the game will have any references towards the podcast.

Now... Noone.

I don't have much to say about her aside from mentioning that her real name, Ruth, means "to feel pity, distress and or grief." I feel like that sums up her story pretty well.

But I do have another thing to talk about with Noone (Ruth) and this is a crackpot theory. I don't fully subscribe to this idea either, so I don't blame you if you think this is doesn't have enough wait behind it.

What if Noone is Six?

We've learned about Raincoat girl and the coat as well; what if we learned about Six's origins in this series and didn't realise it? Her appearance is never described to us so she could look like Six or she could look nothing like her, we just don't know.

I mainly had this idea from the random thought of what if Noone did eventually manage to find Cece but Otto didn't? Witnessed her death and knew what happened to her when Otto is forever left in the dark?

But that's probably not the case, Noone is most likely a separate character from Six. Even though Noone is now in the No Where we will probably never see her again.

Just like many of thechildren we see in this world (aside from Six) we only see them once. The Runaway Kid, Mono, The Blindfolded Boy, the Lollypop Kid, Spoon Girl, the Ghost kid, and now Noone.

But that is just a theory.

Little Nightmares 3 event. Re occurring enemy.

I'm saying this for myself at this rate. From Youtube, to here a lot of people, and Little Nightmares fans are still depicting Six to be evil, and to become a villain. She's this one character that had turned evil. Or 'Evil.' Because of her dark magic.

That's because that's her story. But each kid has his, or her story. And another kid, with how it would be told. would turn evil too. Mentioning the Pretender, she turned out to be an evil child.

She was spoiled, and entitled. And she wanted to gather a collection, by kidnapping/Loring children into her palace, and collect them as dolls.

Or she turns them into dolls, but that's the speculation theory. And before that in Pale city, Six actually had a friend. The pretender went after the rain coat girl, or the RK girl.

And Six tried to help her. She is speculated to be the girl, found in the photograph, with the short black hair, and the white clothing, with the white underpants looks like to be Six. And Six appears in the same clothes from the VLN game, as the photo that shows her white clothing.

Furthermore, with her detail with her white clothing. You do see them, her wearing them from her sweat suit, or under her raincoat. That her shorts are still visible.

After when Six defeats the Pretender, she accidently knocks her best friend off. Ever since the ending of LN 2, is when people got into a riot.

Including myself. I even thought that if she didn't care about Mono, then she's a bitch. But, another Little Nightmares Fan drew a comic based on the ending, that gave me another point of view. It's posted on DA, all credit goes to her:

Another look at the final. by Nis-Little-Arts on DeviantArt

The Image looks like this:

Now, even though this is a head cannon of hers, but it is based on the final ending. This is her illustration of 'Let's take another look.' But, the speculation with Six being the Lady. It's all up to speculation. (I don't think so really.) But yeah...It's been around for a while.

Okay, so this was posted 4 years ago. At first, I thought it was three. Then I remembered that it's 2024. But, as you can see, is that each character is shown with respect.

No one is good, no one is evil, it's just showing their character arc, and their story, In a very tragic and poetic kind of way. That shows their friendship, and their romantic relationship portrayed from the past, to the future. And it continues on in the cycle.

It looks like they're pulling away, but they can't go anywhere. What pisses me off about this, for a number of reasons, but this one in particular when they're saying, 'It's her FAULT! She started this!'

And yes, I did drop a comment, stating on Youtube that she did start this horrible loop. That was years ago, too.

By the looks of it, but now looking back on it. You see that the signal tower is looking to be supernatural itself. She was responsible for letting him go down there. To say, if she started the Loop herself. Not then to say, it was the Signal tower that started it.

But, since that had been said enough times, especially with the 'Long live the king!' Joke, is repetitive, and annoying. I will add, if she did not care about Mono, I think she was not using him, just to satisfy her fulfillment.

Another thing that annoys me, is that some people say that she absorbed Mono's powers, to get through the TV. When the portal was already open? Sorry, I have to say something about this. I've been wanting to for ages.

Again this statement was so quick to judge, with no given context but to say that she's a leech, and she took his powers to survive.

But, from the first game, when she is trying to survive in the Maw, there is no details to fill in the blanks, of why she couldn't just teleport away, needing to reclaim the Lady's powers, to make herself powerful again.

But, even still...The blame is all on her. This was her scheme, she didn't care. Where, if anything else, this just does not make sense to me. And it sound not right, for her to do that to her friend. When Mono could harness those powers to a great extent.

And that, included when she pulled him up, multiple times, where I feel she doesn't have much credit for. Who are we to say, that she took his powers when, it isn't proven yet.

Or when they use that short cutscene as 'Evidence' to say that she did, but it's only a very short cutscene. But, it still isn't enough evidence to prove, if she has done or not.

Lastly, the villain thing. I think why most people want her to show up again, as the villain is because they see her as one. I do not want her to be. I genuinely think that by saying it, is still farfetched. Or over the top, because, she is a child.

Okay, if your statement stay's on this cliche. I'll say then...Is because she does not behave like that. She isn't here to conquer the world.

She isn't here to make all the other children's lives a living hell. She's only here to tell us a story. If you think that the is the only evil child, then she is not the only one.

For her to become a villain, and give her a goal because she want's to conquer something, is just throwing an idea or wishful thinking onto her, tossing it onto her and say.

"Make her a villain." because of how she appears to be. It's also forgotten that she is not the only kid in that world, that the other kids are going through.

She prefers to stay away from them, because she is aware of what she could do to them. But she is just as vulnerable as everyone else.

I've watched a quick video that I'm glad that someone has said this, it's unpopular. This video, is from it's Just Jord, and he explains that every child is in this world for themselves. He explains more details, so I'll give the link:

This basically summarizes that, for what every kid is going through. No kid is good, no kid is evil. But, each of those kids have a story to tell, and they are going through it. Including Six. Which gives another reason why I think, that Six shouldn't be the villain, is because of this.

All because, all of her arc, isn't enough make it permanent-she's the villain. She is also being tormented, and a victim as well. Just like the other protagonists.

Hi!! Do u have any recs for someone who knows practically nothing abt classical music? I've been studying music theory and I feel it's a good genre to learn from :)

sure thing! however, i just want to talk about two things beforehand.

first, classical music differs from other genres of music in that the recording matters. this is because different performers have different interpretations of the music, among other reasons. for this purpose, i have provided my recommendations for recordings with the pieces ill be listing, however i strongly encourage you to find what you like the most.

the second thing i want to talk about is basically me getting into semantics. there are a few different eras of classical music, and they are all stylistically different. the main eras are the baroque era (~1600-1750), the classical era (~1750-1830), the romantic era (~1830-1920), and post-romantic/contemporary classical (~1920-present). i just want to point this out because the stylistic contrast between these eras is quite pronounced, and will help explain some things.

and with my ramblings out of the way, here are my recs!

Baroque:

Antonio Vivaldi - La Folia (Op. 1 No. 12) (Il Giardino Armonico [ensemble])

Johann Sebastian Bach - The Art Of Fugue (BWV 1080) (Joanna MacGregor [pfte.])

Classical

Ludwig Van Beethoven - Symphony No. 3 "Eroica" (Op. 55) (Herbert von Karajan [cond.] w/ Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra)

Ludwig Van Beethoven - Die Große Fuge (Op. 133) (Takács Quartet [str.qt.]) *

Romantic

Ferrucio Busoni - Piano Concerto in C Major (Op. 39) (Marc-André Hamelin [pfte.], Osmo Vänskä [cond.] w/ Lahti Symphony Orchestra) * ***

Franz Liszt - Totentanz (S. 126i) (Steven Mayer [pfte.], Tamás Vásáry [cond.] w/ London Symphony Orchestra)

Moritz Moszkowski - Piano Concerto in E Major (Op. 59) (Markus Pawlik [pfte.], Antoni Wit [cond.] w/ Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra)

Post-Romantic/Contemporary Classical

Igor Stravinsky - The Rite of Spring (Leonard Bernstein [cond.] w/ New York Philharmonic Orchestra) * **

Dmitri Shostakovich - Symphony No. 5 (Op. 47) (Yevgeny Mravinsky [cond.] w/ Leningrad Philharmonic Orchestra) **

Dmitri Shostakovich - String Quartet No. 9 (Op. 117) (Fitzwilliam Quartet [str.qt.]

Alfred Schnittke - Concerto Grosso No. 1 (Gidon Kremer [vln.], Tatiana Grindenko [vln.], Heinrich Schiff [cond.] w/ Chamber Orchestra of Europe) *

Alberto Ginastera - Piano Sonata No. 1 (Terence Judd [pfte.]) *

Maurice Ravel - Introduction and Allegro, for Harp, Flute, Clarinet, and String Quartet (Skaila Kanga [hrp.], Academy of St. Martin in the fields)

* - this piece is fuckin SPICY. you have been warned.

** - if you're interesting in music history you should look up the backgrounds surrounding these ones

*** - the recording quality is shit

so yeah. i prefer more modern music so i put quite a few more modern works on the list than most people would.

anyways, happy listening!

Getting invested about flower language and the meaning of flowers

(Jumping between gameplay of the Residence and VLN constantly)

(Passing by Rascal again) stupidass

Learning extensively about Buddhism which is a HUGE part of both the Ladies and Maw lore

(Crying) "Thank you Mr Mervik for confirming that the Maw has not been built by the Lady four different times over the course of the years"

The mystery of the yellow raincoat, (this is another long one, so prepare yourselves)

Shoutout to everyone in the theorizing community, this theory is comprised of everything the theorists and I have gathered on the yellow raincoat, some of these details date back to 2017 when Little Nightmares was released, now then, let us begin.

Much like how the Lady is remembered by her mask, the Thin Man by his hat, and Mono by his trench coat and paper bag, Six’s iconic yellow raincoat is an item which became part of Six’s identity. If you think about Little Nightmares, odds are the first thing which comes to mind is the iconic yellow raincoat Six wears throughout her escape from the Maw. But over the years, as the name of Little Nightmares began to expand, and as new content was provided for this world, many of us soon realized that Six’s yellow raincoat was far beyond what we had originally suspected. For years, we had assumed this yellow raincoat was something which was just a part of Six’s character, but from what we now understand, this yellow raincoat...might have always had a past and a story of it’s own.

Over the years, many things have been uncovered within the Little Nightmares world which have allowed many theorists and I to decipher the mystery of the yellow raincoat. However, the one detail within the Little Nightmares game which began this whole speculation of the raincoats history , was the pictures of a young girl within the Lady’s quarters and the Maw’s Guest area. This young girl had long brown hair and a very similar yellow coat which resembled the coat Six wore, but what we soon realized was, the girl in the painting...might have always been wearing the same raincoat Six had!.

Now, keep in mind that back in 2017, we only ever had the first game to theorize over, so we were all very limited by what information to go by, especially when we took into account that the first game took place within an isolated environment underwater. We literally had no other sources to provide us the information needed about this world, and as a result everyone started theorizing anything they could think of until something, anything, would be revealed to provide us with more insight to the type of world this was and begin the much needed process of deciding what theories to scrap and what theories to reevaluate. However, given everything we had to scrap upon the release of more Little Nightmares content, there were still some solid observations and connections made, like how the Nomes were once children, how the Guests were being killed, how there was once other geishas within the Maw and how all the images of eyes signified something important. However, in terms of the girl in the Lady’s portrait, who seemingly wore the same yellow raincoat Six had on, many came to the conclusion that the girl in the portrait was the Lady’s daughter. Now, whether or not the girl was her biological daughter or adopted remained unknow, but due to Six being the only person many players saw wearing the yellow raincoat, welll....at the time, the most popular theory among fans ended up being that Six was the daughter of the Lady, however, what many theorists and I soon realized was....it didn’t make sense.

Back when Little Nightmares was still being referred to as “Hunger” and not long after it’s new name of “Little Nightmares” was released, Six was described as a girl who was kidnapped from her home and forced to work at the Maw. And although the game has had it’s changes before being the Little Nightmares game we all know and love, Six’s description alone was always one thing which pretty much remained with little to no changes, after all, she wasn’t the only child whom we theorized had been kidnapped from their original home, thrown into this world of nightmares and brought to the Maw.

(overall Little Nightmares game summary)

But because we theorized these children originated elsewhere and brought to the Maw for one reason or another, then could this mean Six was the same?, did she come from a place outside the Maw?...at the time(in 2017) we could only assume she did, after all, when we analyzed the descriptions for Little Nightmares, we could only find the Lady’s description stating concern for an escaped child who could give way to disrupting the Maw’s survival, an interesting description considering the only children who would be classified as an escapee, were the children who were imprisoned within the lower levels of the Maw...but maybe not a child who had lived by the Lady’s side.

When analyzing Six’s description for Little nightmares, it never once described her as someone who lived within the Maw , only that she was trapped, starving and alone, she was a child who was placed into a situation where most children would have given up but not her, Six was different, “she belongs elsewhere”... but this was not necessarily the case for the girl in the portrait.

Whoever the girl in the portrait was, was someone who already lived a far more sheltered life in the upper level than any of the children who were trapped within the Maws lower levels. Whether or not this girl lived a good life remains unknown, though considering the horrors of this world, it’s likely she had her fair share of struggles, whatever they may be, especially when we take into account how we have always theorized the Lady is blindly fueled by her corrupted desire for power and wealth much like how other residents of this world are blinded by their own twisted desires.

However, given everyone aboard the Maw is corrupted by some form of hunger/greed, we are not so sure the Lady of the Maw looked at this girl as a daughter, bur rather....as something else. In terms of how this girl in the portrait was treated, well, at first we theorized the Lady mistreated the child in the portrait by keeping her isolated within her Quarters. However, upon analyzing the DLC: “The Residence”, we soon theorized the Lady may have always cared for the girl in the same way she was seen caring and tending to the baby dolls she gently held in the DLC,

however, due to this possibility and taking into consideration how the residents of the Maw are corrupted by hunger/consumption, what if maybe...just maybe... the Lady did not look at her child as a living being... but rather an item for her to keep and do whatever she wished, just as she had done to any other doll within her possession!, if so then would she dress her up in different clothes?, make her wear terrifying masks?, or gently stroke her head as a lullaby played beside her?, just as someone would do with a doll?...honestly who’s to say.

But if this is true then...would the Lady tending to the girl have only given the impression of a mother daughter bond, but in reality was nothing more than a woman tending to yet another one of her possessions?...maybe.

Despite what little we knew about this girl, it was clear she was the only child to have been displayed as someone who was just as important as the Lady of the Maw, after all, no other child would be seen standing next to the Lady of the Maw herself in a portrait. And given just how much the Lady is displayed as someone who values her beauty to the point where she has numerous pictures of herself, it was as if this little girl alone was someone even the Lady accepted to be seen beside her in one of her many portraits and even be included on the wall within her bedroom, it was almost as if this little girl was highly valued by the Lady herself, if so, then perhaps this is why one of the portraits of the girl has her eyes painted over, whatever happened to this girl...or rather...whatever this girl did... was enough to make the Lady feel compelled to vandalize her portrait, then later obtain a new portrait of the child to hang on her bedroom wall...almost as if the Lady had a lingering attachment to her, much like how a mother misses her child...or maybe even...how a child seeks their favorite toy.

Surprisingly enough, about a year or so later after the release of Little Nightmares, the developers themselves shed some light about the popular fan theory about Six being the Lady’s child. When asked if Six and the Lady are related, the creators simply compare the situation of Six and the Lady to when he was once trapped on a train for half an hour. Although there were many others aboard the same train, this did not necessarily mean any of the other passengers on the train were his mother. An interesting comparison as Six was a child trapped in the Maw surrounded by various residents and children. From the very beginning, it was clear to us the other imprisoned kids were not Six’s brothers and sisters, and the Janitor and chefs were clearly not her relatives....so why did some think Six and the Lady were related simply because of a yellow raincoat we saw on a portrait of a girl which we debated to not be Six?

https://blog.playstation.com/archive/2018/02/21/little-nightmares-creators-answer-your-questions-about-the-latest-expansion-to-its-ps4-puzzle-horror/

Well, the creators stated in the “Playstation” interview that it is a traditional assumption to believe the main character and the main villain are related to one another. So in an ironic turn of events, it would appear as though many fans had naturally assumed it was just the same situation they had already seen in other stories/lore, like with Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker from Star Wars. However, this was not necessarily the case for Little nightmares as this one interview from back in 2018, revealed to us that the creators of Little Nightmares might have always been attempting to steer away from the traditional.

Yes, there was the strong possibility this girl in the portrait was wearing the same yellow raincoat Six had...but this did not necessarily mean Six was the girl in the portrait. According to the creators, the reality is that the Lady and Six were two characters who have been thrown together by forces beyond their control, a force which I, and many other theorists, all gradually came to realize was the part of the eye entity residing within the Maw, always keeping it’s eyes on things and always being referenced throughout the game, ultimately leaving the Lady to serve as a watchful eye in order to ensure everything was proceeding as normal to sustain the Maw’s life cycle.

But if the girl in the portrait seen within the Maw was never truly Six, then....who was she, really?. Upon realizing Six was not the only child in the Maw, let alone the world, we had theorized the possibility of the yellow raincoat having once been in the possession of another child, more specifically, the girl we saw in the portrait. Unfortunately, because nothing was ever confirmed about this world, let alone about the girl in the portrait, and because the creators of the games like to encourage the mystery of this lore/story by providing cryptic answers within each and every interview provided, we never knew for sure if this yellow raincoat wielded such a dark and mysterious past....until very Little Nightmares and Little Nightmares 2 came out.

In Very Little Nightmares, you play as a child who is simply referred to as “the girl in the yellow raincoat”, naturally, due to the familiar iconic yellow raincoat we all knew from Little Nightmares, many assumed this was Six upon the games announcement, however, upon further inspection, I as well as others back in 2019, began to wonder one very simple thing, something so obvious that people didn't really think to consider it at first, what was it?...well....why didn't they just call her Six? why did they refer to her as “The girl in the yellow raincoat”...unless it wasn't Six!

This, was a big deal because once the game was released and as we played throughout the Nest, we realized the girl wearing white clothing with short black hair was Six before obtaining the yellow raincoat.

Where am I going with this?(reminder that some of these observations were made years ago , I'm just resurfacing it for the purpose of this theory post) well, if the yellow coat could have truly once belonged to another child, and if the child in the Maw’s portrait was truly the one who once owned the yellow raincoat, then what if maybe...just maybe... the "girl in the yellow raincoat" from very Little Nightmares, was the same girl we saw in the portrait aboard the Maw!. We may not know where the girl came from before she arrived to the Nest, but given she came from a place overseas, before finally crashing into the Nest,

and given she is the only child to have been seen wearing the yellow raincoat, the only detail left which could help make some sense of this puzzle, was by seeing who the child under the yellow hoodie looked like, no one knew what she looked like, or at least....not yet anyway

When we neared the end of Very Little Nightmares, tragedy strikes as we see the girl in the yellow raincoat and the Pretender fall to their doom, crashing together into the ocean waters. But of all the things to occur near the end of the game while we saw the poor girl plummet, what do we see?!....the yellow hood from the girls raincoat....moved away from her face!, and for the very first time, we saw who the child in the yellow raincoat was behind the coat, and she was exactly what we theorized to look like, a girl with long brown hair just like the girl in the portrait on the Maw! but did this mean the "girl in the yellow raincoat" was truly the child standing beside the Lady?!......honestly whos to say, but if she were truly that child , then perhaps this would explain where she came from before arriving to the Nest.

It has always theorized the only way to arrive to the Nest was by blimp or through aid from the Ferryman, however, given we also theorized the blimp was operated by another resident, more specifically the resident seen in the portrait within the Nest, who was standing in front of the same blimp the girl in the yellow raincoat was seen in at the beginning of Very Little Nightmares, we had theorized it was the girl in the yellow raincoat who somehow obtained access to the blimp when the driver was left in a preoccupied state. The only question was...what kind of situation lead this girl to venture overseas and what gave her the chance she needed to take the blimp?

And I know what you are thinking, “oh but the girl that the runaway kid came across during his escape could have been the girl in the portrait”, and yes as much as it may seem like she was the girl in the portrait, it just didn't make sense, not only because the girl in the portrait was not the only child encountered with long hair and a dress, such as the girl the janitor wrapped up or multiple shadows of the Nomes reflecting the same image, but because the portrait of the girl in the Lady’s quarters signified something serious had occurred to the child which left the Lady compelled to paint over her eyes. In addition, the child that the Runaway kid encountered was already shown to be a prisoner trying to escape just as the other children, and since the DLC takes place at the same time as Little Nightmares, it didn't explain why we saw Six wearing the raincoat rather than the previous owner.

Now, had the girl in the portrait lived in isolation within the confines of the Lady’s quarters, then perhaps due to the poor conditions of the Maw, as well as the Nomes, the runaway kid and Six revealing to the players of hidden passages leading into various parts of the Maw, we had theorized the girl in the portrait had also managed to find the same hidden passage within the Lady’s library(the same one the runaway kid used to enter the Lady’s quarters") and throughout the Maw, and do what she likely could never do before....explore the Maw. In the end, it was the Nomes who furthered our suspicions.

All throughout the Maw, we see various drawings done by the Nomes depicting all kinds of things, including what appears to be a child in a yellow raincoat! Now, some theorized these drawings were of Six, however, given Six was escaping the Maw it was naturally interpreted Six was just learning of the Maw’s various levels just as much as the players did when they laid their eyes on them for the first time, and sure, there was the possibility the Nomes simply remembered her during her time within the hidden space she took refuge in or throughout her escape from the Maw, however, given Six had remained solitary towards everyone she encountered, we couldn't understand why the Nomes would feel compelled to draw so many pictures of one child they had just met, when there were so many more children within the Maw’s prison(like the Runaway kid) whom they had encountered.

Yes, Six hugged them, but so did the Runaway Kid, it just didn’t add up as to why the Nomes would feel a strong impression or sense of attachment towards them to the point where they would draw a picture of them all over the place, especially if they had just met. The Nomes behavior to follow whomever hugged them seems to stem from them trying to make friends with strangers, something which is even clarified within their description to be a poor choice as very few rarely survive because of it.

But if the drawing of the child in a yellow raincoat was never Six, then....was it the only other child whom we theorized wielded the yellow raincoat and would have likely gradually encountered the Nomes each and every time she quietly snuck out of the confines of the Lady’s quarters?, were the drawing the Nomes made of a child in a yellow raincoat...have been the girl we saw in the portrait? the same girl whom we theorized to be the "girl in the yellow raincoat"!?....honestly who’s to say. Considering the “girl in the yellow raincoat” was the only character thus far who was willing to take the time to help other children escape while desperately trying to avoid all residents of the Nest without resorting to extreme measures, it was clear she was the first child whom we had encountered who managed to retain her kind innocence before being fully exposed to the cruelties of the world and leave her as just another child who would need to make some very difficult decisions in order to survive.

If this girl is the child seen beside the Lady and if she had truly lived a sheltered life, then perhaps it was her kind nature which left the Nomes feeling drawn to her, until the Nomes themselves felt the need to draw her image whenever they could(among other things) and wherever they would be. And I know what your thinking, "oh, but we saw one of the Nomes drawings depicting a kid with a yellow raincoat, with black shading all around it, not only foreshadowing the games ending when Six obtained the Lady’s power, but also hinting those drawings were of her" and yes, I understand that, but again, we couldn't know for sure due to the possibility of another child having once owned the same raincoat, and considering the Nomes would run from Six, it was almost as if they themselves did not recognize her, effectively leaving this one picture being additionally interpreted as the child in the portrait living a life where she was surrounded by a dark presence, the dark presence being, the Lady of the Maw, who is often seen with a black cloud as she uses her powers on others. If what we theorized is true, then perhaps the girls reputation within the Maw had effectively left Six with some complications of her own the day she was taken to the Maw.

(pause for break)

In the Little Nightmares comic issue #1(these comics are discontinued but still useful in understand the world and Six's character), we learn other escaped children, such as the refugee boy and the humpback girl(these names are not official, it’s what the fans refer to them in order to tell them apart), were not at all happy to see Six. Now it could be they are not easily accepting of newcomers to their circle, but they look at her as if they have seen her before and tell her she does not belong with them.

Once she gathers around the fire, all the other children change their attitude towards her, rather than rejecting her further, they accept her into their circle and have no complaints towards her when she comes back again later on to show them the music box she found. Instead of rejecting her presence like they did before, they ask her how she arrived to the Maw and what she has seen of the outside world, but why would they ask her these things if they already knew her...unless they didn’t... what if maybe...just maybe, this was the first time they met Six.

But if this was the first time they met Six, then why act like they already knew her ?...unless it wasn’t her specifically they remember meeting, but rather....the only other child within the Maw who once wore the same yellow raincoat she had on!, if so then... were the kids by the fire....referring to the girl we all saw in the portrait back when they were not at all happy to see Six in issue #1?!...maybe. Given the children from the Little Nightmares comics live within the walls of the Maw, and given they still remain in constant danger of not only the leeches, but the residents within the Maw, then perhaps they were inclined to reject the one person who they knew could expose them and reveal their whereabouts to the staff and the Lady of the Maw herself, this person...might have always been the girl in the portrait!.

If “the girl in the yellow raincoat” was truly the child standing beside the Lady, if this girl was the same girl we saw in the Maw’s portraits and if this girl had truly learned to quietly and unsuspectingly explore the Maw without the Lady discovering her whereabouts, then what reason did she have to leave the Maw?....or rather....what didn't she see in the Maw’s lower levels which gradually made her realize she could no longer bare to live within the confines of the Maw. Between the imprisoned children, the Janitor making his rounds capturing and dragging caged children, the Twin Chefs cooking, and the Guests being killed to sustain the Maw’s life cycle , it’s clear any child would feel the need to escape the moment they witnessed the horrors of the Maw. And if the girl in the portrait really is the girl in the yellow raincoat, then considering the vast number of visitors whom we have theorized to come to the Maw and not share the same fate as the guests, such as the teacher, the doctor and the hunter, then could it be possible the girl had simply highjacked the one thing within a specific residents possession which could guarantee her escape?...a blimp. Did the girl in the yellow raincoat steal the blimp we saw her piloting in Very Little Nightmares all the while it’s driver(the resident we saw in the portrait next to the blimp) was preoccupied somewhere within the Maw?....maybe.

And I know what you are thinking, "oh, but the girl in the yellow raincoat’s hair was a lighter brown, she can’t be the same girl in the portrait seen in the Maw whos hair was a darker brown", and yes, I understand that, but the idea that this girl could not be considered the child standing beside the Lady simply because she had light brown hair rather than just dark brown hair was not a very valid observation when we took into account how all the characters in Very Little Nightmares, including Six, were altered to meet the small gameplay design of Very Little nightmares.

Now, in terms of how Six obtained the yellow raincoat, well, near the end of very Little Nightmares, all the while we saw the child’s yellow raincoat resurface from the ocean depths, it wasn't long before players began to wonder what became of the yellow raincoat as they saw it drift away.

Back in 2019, many believed Six obtained the raincoat as she made her way down the mountain to the small raft like object floating nearby. By using the little raft, it was assumed Six would have paddled her way to the raincoat, however! what many other theorists and I soon realized was, yes, it seemed logical to assume Six had simply acquired the raincoat in Very Little Nightmares, but if Six had truly obtained the raincoat in Very Little Nightmares...then why didn’t they just show her taking it?....unless she never did!. If Six did NOT obtain the yellow raincoat off screen in Very Little Nightmares, then this could have very well meant that Six had obtained the raincoat by some other means, but how would we know for sure?...well, thankfully, Little Nightmares 2 gave us this answer.

In Little Nightmares 2, when Mono and Six journey deeper into the Pale City, Mono comes across a very peculiar piece of clothing...this clothing...was the yellow raincoat!, but what does this all mean?! of all the places in the world, how did THAT yellow raincoat end up in the Pale City?! ...unless....what if Six already gave us this answer.

When the raincoat resurfaces from the ocean waters near the end of Very Little Nightmares, we see the ocean current quickly push it away, and considering Six was still making her way down the mountain, well...what if she never made it down in time to obtain the raincoat before the ocean current swept it far beyond her reach?. If Six never had the chance to obtain the raincoat in Very Little Nightmares, then this could mean she simply took the little raft and made her way across the ocean until she reached the nearest sight of land...unfortunately, if what we theorized is true then this would mean the closest sight of land within this vast ocean, was none other than the very wilderness the Hunter resided in!

And given the Pale City is also near the ocean, could it be possible the raincoat wound up washing ashore the beach of the the Pale City?!...maybe...but if it did then does this mean the Nest was not to far off from the Pale City and the wilderness?...perhaps.

Then again, even if the yellow raincoat did wind up washing up on the beach of the Pale City, it still doesn't explain how it got to the location within the city where Mono and Six found it....unless...what if maybe...just maybe...someone or something else found the raincoat before them and took it into the Pale City!. We have always known there were other children within the city before Mono and Six arrived, more specifically, we have always known the children from the Little Nightmares 2 comics all journeyed through the Wilderness and the Pale City.

Considering nearly all the comic episodes, excluding episode 2(reasons why is here), are theorized to take place before the events of the Little Nightmares 2 game, then...could this mean one of these other children found the raincoat and took it into the city before meeting a tragic end, just as all the other children are suspected to have faced?...Maybe. Then again, who’s to say it wasn't just another resident within the Pale city who came across the raincoat and took it. Well, whomever, or whatever found the raincoat and left it where Mono and Six found it, at least one thing is for certain....this yellow raincoat....has had a very checkered past. When Six puts on the raincoat in Little Nightmares 2, we see the surrounding light beaming through the broken ceiling flicker, and all the while we saw this, we heard a very familiar tune play, it was the same little musical tune heard whenever Six would eat in Little Nightmares, effectively revealing to players that the girl who stayed with Mono... was always Six.

In terms of the former holder of the yellow raincoat and how it ties into Little Nightmares 2 and the story of the game well...perhaps the Black Tower gave us an answer to this. Near the end of Little Nightmares 2, when Mono enters Monster Six's room within the tower, we see various things, but of all the things, there are a few which stand out the most, one of which being the all to familiar portrait of the girl we all saw in the Maw, except....her face is scribbled over!, but why?!,

well, keep in mind this is not the first time we have seen a face scribbled over. Within the room Six was held captive at the hunters Cabin, we see two drawings of what appears to be people, the most notable feature of these drawings is the scribbled face, and as for who these drawings are, well, we always theorized these two drawings alone were made by Six to hint of two people within her life which she was aware were now deceased.

Who these two drawings on the wall are meant to be is something which is still left up for debate. Some theorized they were meant to symbolize the “girl in the raincoat girl” and the Pretender, others theorized they were people whom Six encounter before she was captured by the hunter, while others theorized they were Six's parents. But what do these scribbled faces mean in terms of the girl in the portrait we saw in Monster Six’s room and the Maw? well, we always theorized the eye entity/Tower itself had the ability to peer into the future and observe events surrounding various living people, so if it had really peered into Six's future journey through the Maw, and if the Girl in the Yellow raincoat were truly the girl in the portrait, then...could this mean the scribbled face of the girl in the portrait signified the unsettling glimpse Six had of the girls cruel demise as well as her former life which Six gradually learned more about as she journeyed through the Maw? ....Maybe

Although this does beg the question, will we ever see how the yellow raincoat ended up in Pale city? will we ever find out if anyone else obtained the yellow raincoat before Six found it in Little nightmares 2? and considering Little Nightmares 2 is a prequel, well... how was Six's presence received the day she arrived to the Maw as the Lady and the staff witnessed her wearing the same yellow raincoat which belonged to the child of the Lady?...I guess we will just have to wait and see, for now its just a theory, a Little Nightmares 2 theory!
