My post(s) about the Jean-Pierre Jeunet movies being one of the main influences of "Little Nightmares" became popular for a while, but I want to also add that there is another famous movie-maker of France that very clearly inspired the LN aesthetic... The cartoonist Sylvain Chomet (which most non-French will likely know out of that couch gag he did for the Simpsons).

Just look at this famous scene from his Triplettes of Belleville movie and tell me it isn't Little Nightmares-core

IM LITERALLY SCREAMING RIGHT NOW.

I know a friend that recomend me the movie one month ago and told me something like was so LN coded or LN core movie, i saw the movie and i can agree. Also the animation in that movie is one of the most smooth and expresive that i have seen.

The theme of the credits of the movie was stuck in my head and still is, "Belleville rendez-vous" is a song that i put when i find myself with lack of inspo to draw LN stuff or just vibe with it because is so catchy

Say what ever you want about Altered Echoes, the history is boring, the motion sickness, the "Is too bright" thing, the "Ruins Dark Six mystery" and more but...thanks that for the new fans Dark Six has a more tragic and complex thing that the evil version of Six take back in 2017.

See how Six after being traped by the thin man isn't the same as the one we saw in the start of the franchise [VLN and the first half of LN 2] in a more literal way, like, bro got her soul split by a force of the nowhere is more interesting and was implied in LN 2 and LN 1 but i think no one saw that or had that take on Dark Six's implications.

Dark Six in general is the shadow of Six, yeah is kinda obvious but in the context of the phylosofical shadow, the one made by Nietzsche, the duality of yourself, the twist here is that the shadow of Six in this case is the most vulnerable side of her, the scared and fearfull girl of VLN and LN 2 that only wanted to survive in that weird place and with a bit of luck a companion, maybe in VLN didn't had a extreme frienship or conection with the misterious RCG but she tried to help her besides their constant "every guy by their side" situations in VLN, with LN 2 she needs of Mono to survive in some way as us need her to open our way from the signal tower.

Is heart breaking [at least for my stupid sentimental me] how Six betrays her own soul to have more advantage in the nowhere, how rejects her vulnerablity in order to be efficient to survive in a place like the nowhere, in this case how i mentioned earlier, theres a change of roles with the idea of the shadow made by Nietzsche, the body the physical self of Six is a empty being guide by instincts, in this way Six without her soul, without Dark Six is a resident or something similar to it, guide by instincts and empty, the perfect tool to start other cycle for the nowhere? prehaps.

Dark Six breaking the music box is parallel to Mono in the chair, Mono decides stay and accept his fate in the nowhere becoming other Thin Man, other host for the nowhere and other gear in the gigant complex of the nowhere as a sistem guided by insticts and violence. Dark Six decides escape, finds her way out, she is Six's pure human nature chasing herself to be one again.

Yet another thing for an ask I didn't answer ;-;

I think it was something along the lines of "What if Thin Man and Lady just decided to take in all these lost children?"

[justiebunch]

I think we should get a Cookie Run x Little Nightmares crossover. As a treat

'This ocean poisoned me.'

I loved that song (Ocean - Goldfrapp ft. Dave Gahan) way back when (I think it came out around the time LN2 did too actually, so makes sense haha xD) Anyway, lyrics and imagery hahah

"this place.. doesn't seem like anything she described at all"

bro did Not find Nowhere..

[robertsbizzareblog]

POV: You are the thin man trying to get Mono back from the stone gigant

my take on her...i really don't like to much that the nun's cornette in the comics looks like a plate

I FINDIHED WATCHING ALTERED ECHOS

I really loved it

I’ve seen a lot of people dislike it and write it off but I honestly loved it. I think it does a great job at showing how six’s past has affected her. I think a LOT of people wanted LNAE to be LN2 but from six’s perspective but I don’t think that really works. LN2 is not strictly from mono’s perspective even if it follows him, it lets you come to your own conclusions about the relationship between the children.

Also realistically I don’t want to play two hours of six picking her nose in the hunter’s cabin and hospital while they wait for mono. I also think a lot of people wanted to see six’s perspective because of the belief that she’s being mistreated/clung onto by mono which I don’t really think is true. Mervik described LN2 as both six and mono not being sure about each other, and if you look throughout the game mono isn’t very clingy, he shows no signs of distress when separated from six initially, where as six repeatedly calls out for him. I think she’s afraid of being left behind because early on, she doesn’t know if she can trust him to come back.

I think they’re two kids trying to work together in a world that hates them, and ultimately what has happened to them ends up tearing their friendship apart from the inside. A huge theme in LNAE is self destruction. The columns of memories and items related to six’s past drown in the dark shadow which is referred to as oblivion in the game files. Oblivion when it comes to the mind can refer to supression and erasure of memories. Six’s model also shows signs of self harm on the forearms; they’re covered in her own bite marks. LNAE further compiles this and I think it adds a lot to her character for those who are willing to give it a chance.

She feels this need to escape, to find sources of escape from her pain, and she never stops running. Her dropping mono is something that both stems the music box- her ultimately unhealthy source of escapism- being destroyed, but also from her own issues. I think six dropping mono is honestly more of a self destructive act than one of retribution, hence why shadow six is dropped- she’s harming herself in an attempt to run away, especially because she no longer has her music box to soothe her.

[iamespecter]

I remember seeing from reddit, that LNAE is a subconscious deep dive into Six's psyche. It was a bit chopped in terms of relaying what aspects of Six's psyche it was (possibly due to language barrier), but I remember the OP said somewhere along the lines of:

The School section was Six's "morals". The tower convinced her to abandon the morals you've been taught (i.e, imagining the bullies dead and The Teacher dying), and leave them to fall into the deep recesses of her mind so that she'd be free to do what she needs to do, but numb to her future decisions' moral implications. After all, you don't need to feel bad if you're killing a monster... right?

The Train Section is meant to represent Six's "Train of thought". In order to proceed forward and get to the end of the finish line, she must "disconnect" the rest of the wagon that's dead weight-- the critical thinking aspect, in order to keep chugging along. Outrun the conductors of your mind that make you second guess what you're doing, because in a high stress situation, there's only three choices to be made: Run, kill, or be killed. I'd actually like to add that the Conductors soothing the Guests on board is akin to the Music Box's soothing methods to prevent Six from lashing out. There was another thing I was going to mention, but it slipped my mind so maybe I'll remember it later;;;;

The Mansion's section is related to Six's "Memories". (This one, I actually mentioned in my thread too, so I agree.) In order for Six to move forward, she must "cast a white sheet" on them, so that she won't be held back. If she makes new ones, evaporate it as quickly as you've made it. Squash any semblance of memories being formed and keep it in a cage, just like how you squash The Naturalist.

All of these combined allows Six to abandon Shadow Six, and Mono.

The OG post was a whole lot shorter, but it actually gave me a deeper insight to just how much LNAE is about the Tower's subliminal messaging towards Six and Shadow Six.

Holy hell, is the Tower such a manipulative bitch I want to explode it with 1000 dynamites
