I somehow think that, considering Lesley's the actual puppeteer and not Roy, then that means the entirety of the YouTube shorts were all made by her. Maybe Roy was there as a spy or smth, considering he was watching Red in the sixth episode, and also tried to stop him from mangling the machine.

The which I think, it's the one that made them all remember. If Lesley was replacing them each episode, that means they still remembered what happened in the last one (hence duck guy saying "I don't wanna do this anymore!" In ep. 5 and yellow remembering Tony in ep. 6 saying "you made me die!").

Maybe the reason they all can't remember now in the series is because the machine is still unplugged. Since poking and prodding at the buttons made a teacher appear (or a memory rewind), by being unplugged, the three of them literally restart each new episode, and would explain the reason they don't fear the teachers (both the new and old ones); their memories are gone.

To me, this is the biggest mystery i want an answer for because I feel like I'm really missing too much detail to even fill in the gap with a guess on this one specific thing

What EXACTLY was different about the previous series with Roy. What has changed to make them now under Lesley's direct control? Was she always in control? Is all this just symbolic of the show being literally under new management because its on channel 4?

Now, you say that they remember what happens in past episodes, but that's not always the case. Duck and Yellow seem to outright forget their entire friend Red at the start of the health episode. Their memory seems to be selective, as it still is now, because-- just like when red was removed from the show-- they have distant memory of the past teachers... but can't quite recall them. So to me it looks like anything removed from their canon is literally removed from their personality. Nothing's changed, this memory loss due to retconning is an effect they've experienced before.

But why is she doing any of this? Why does Roy watch the trio constantly in every episode all the time, always from outside the set? Why was he the one running the kickstarter videos? Is money man still working for him? Why is Roy still listed as a special thanks in the new series? What does it mean that Roy sent his son to punishland in the past, is he still punishing his son even now? Does ROY even know Lesley exists? I honestly think its impossible to guess right now lol

youre right about electracy, it says her name in the episode synopsis thing

OH ! thank u, good to know that's her canon name !

[funny-house]

i'm gonna makeeeeee reaction gifs like i used to do!!! remember???

^^^ these little guys !

[funny-house]

any favorites with the new teachers? I like eletracy yes it's a fandom name but is so cute

I thought electracey was just her real name tbh?? sdghjsdf People started calling her that right away so I just assumed she must have said her name at some point and I missed it ! dshgdfsh

Ok. Here's the thing? I hate....... gross things. which is hilarious because I love DHMIS of all things-- but I do, I am so so so squeamish. Especially about. bugs.

But even though I feel an intense urge to violently beat him the second he moves I kinda really love Warren?? sfdhkgdshg like, I can tell if I actually didn't have this squeamish reaction to him I would like him a lot, but he is just so gross, he's so so so gross looking

and i feel bad because i know he hates himself because he's gross looking but oh my gOD--

ALSO second favorite is the train guy. Train guy is fantastic, happy to have a literal old dying grandpa on the team, will draw him humanized and make up headcanons someday :')

hel l o againnn !!! I've been........ living !! lmao nice to see so many of you still around tho !!!

[funny-house]

Okay, so about the whole "yellow is lesley's dead son" tbh I think it goes both ways if we're going to interpret this,like was a much of an the film theory click bait juice that comes out is still a valid way to interpret the elements that are show in the series, as it's not uncommon for people in the art or entertainment industry to put things from their personal lives into their work regardess of how dark it is,this and more meta writing can coexist with each other in my opinion.

I can't quite understand you um !! So sorry if i'm not responding correcly but !! I can't tell if you mean you think Lesley is based on someone who is experiencing real life grief, like either Becky or Joe have a dead family member or like you think Lesley represents having grief while working in the entertainment industry metaphorically? or maybe you're assuming the wrong thing about what i think? Like, I definitely don't think it's unusual for grief to be depicted abstractly in artsy junk, i'm fairly certain i've seen it recently tbh, emotion is commonly depicted in abstract and surrealist art

but

honest to god my guy, i think Lesley was just making a joke. sadhgsjdajgsa
