HOT TAKE - Wooly doesn’t remember his own death.
I really need to talk about this it’s been on my mind FOREVER. I don’t think anyone’s thought abt this yet. There’s so much evidence to back this I keep finding but at the same time it could contradict this theory idk. Only 10 photos allowed on mobile so I’ll just describe his movements
About the trip cameo, there’s nothing really interesting there, other than the fact he just walks in casually and you can hear his voice fluctuate between panic as he’s driven away (that one “hey” sounded really violent)
So he slides in right. Amanda immediately lunges for him. It takes him a second to look at her, realise what she’s doing, and THEN try to run away but at that point she already on top of him. First of all why is he so fucking JOLLY. You’ve just been MURDERED hell knows how you’re alive again. Yes he’s acting yes he’s suppressing his emotions but you think it’d take him a while to yknow. RECOVER. Second of all he deadass thought it was a good idea to show himself IN FRONT OF HER when she wants nothing to do with him. She even asks him “don’t you get that” she made it pretty clear when she LITERALLY MURDERED HIM. Third of all it just really doesn’t seem like he was expecting it to happen at all. Like he hears her scream, whips around like “what you doin” and only seems to step so he can be out of the way of whatever she’s doing, not expecting to get attacked.
Ok. Moving on. (GET IT GET THE REFRENCE) They’re back in place. NOW he’s nervous. Looks away before looking towards the screen. “I don’t want you here” she leans towards him a lil bit. He backs up, leans away from her, closes in on himself. “I’m your best friend” putting on the act while STILL leaning away from her. At this point note what Amanda’s doing. Attacking him didn’t work but she really wants him to go away, now she’s just expressing her hatred and raising her voice. “All you do is GET ON MY-“ she steps towards him, not intending to hurt him anymore, just yelling, but he goes on the defense, raising his hands for protection and cowering as she looms over him. THIS my pookies is what we call a trigger (OH BOY TRIGGERS) amanda getting angry triggered him and gave him that feeling of danger, causing him to get scared and try protect himself.
Rest of the tape is relatively normal in terms of dynamic, a few concerning moments there but nothing to yap about. “Greeaat idea to warn the birds” all she did was talk to him in a disapproving tone, something she does ALL THE TIME and he still got defensive over it for no reason. He jumps as soon as she opens her mouth, frantically looks at us then her, raises him arms up and stutters “I-I DIDNT MEAN-!“ trying to explain himself desperately to not get in more trouble.
When You’re Feeling Bad. Wooly suggests going on an adventure, immediately regrets his decision. Backs up again, closes in on himself again (raptor arms up) type in horror/scary. Puts his arms up and starts hyperventilating. Obviously this is ptsd from before, ONLY triggered when you mention it. (I JUST NOTICED SOMETHING. when it’s typed in the lamp turns off for a second, and turns back on after he’s had his panic attack. also the camera ever so slightly zooms in when it glitches back to wooly in that split second)
Random one. “SHUT UP… wooly” he jumps and looks shocked
Treasure hunting. Now this one is a lil interesting. “Where’d ya hide the loot” she shoves the shovel, a BLADE, the supposedly sharp end DIRECTLY AT HIS NECK, so much he had to back up to not actually get hit. Other than putting his arms up (for like the fifth fucking time) he is COMPLETELY UNFAZED. “Careful, or you’ll break it” in the most monotone ahh voice imaginable. You’d THINK that pointing a giant sharp object in his face would act as some sort of trigger but nope he’s fine. Fucking dandy.
Ofc this is all to be expected considering we know he fears her at times but it’s just SO. WEIRD TO ME. He comes in, completely unfazed by what’s happened and acts relatively normal the entire rest of the time. He’s only triggered when one, Amanda gets mad at him and two, the subject of horror/death is brought up. If he had the physical/mental memory of who tf knows what she did to him (srsly we don’t even know. SHE COULDVE SLOWLY TORN HIS LIMBS APART WE DONT FUCKING KNOW) wouldn’t he act idk a lil more traumatised? Wouldn’t he be a little more apprehensive of what he does to not anger her? He just doesn’t act like someone who’s just been clapped and is trying not to get clapped again bro is LITERALLY taking his CHANCES. I think what it is is he straight up has no memory of what happened, EXCEPT when he’s triggered he gets that bad feeling of immediate danger like how he felt before being killed, and goes into defensive mode, then COMPLETELY FORGETS ABOUT IT (he goes back to being calm with “that’s gonna take a looot of PATIENCEEE”) (“I wish I hadn’t asked” resumes what he’s doing immediately) it’s not like “oh shit she’s gonna kill me again” it’s like he has gets the fight or flight response out of nowhere and has the sudden need to defend himself juuust in case she gets too mad
I am TELLING YALL HES BUILT DIFFERENT. HE DOESNT KNOW.
