just random thoughts spat out from now on ig

Pokemon Thought:

Been scrolling through some Corbeau content and I'm getting sick of the interpretation most of ya'll made when he mentioned Giovanni.

"haha he hates his own kid", "Giovanni be doin anything but raised his own kid", "Poor Silver, out-favored by some french boy"

It seems like majority thinks Giovanni took care of Corbeau after he abandoned Silver, but to me, it makes more sense if Giovanni made a trip to Kalos prior to Team Rocket's downfall (maybe before the events of RBY/FRLG)

I can definately see him going to another region to look for powerful pokemon/trainers. And that was shown in the manga of pokemon (don't go arguing that the games and manga are different universes, it's like FNAF with the Fazbear Fright stories and the games, use what hints it gives to tie the ropes). Also in Masters EX, Giovanni will recruit anyone (even a child, like the protagonist of that game) into his team if they're very strong.

So, What If—When he visited Lumiose, he found a little runt Corbeau and he reminds Giovanni of Silver (both boys are around the same age imo) and with Corbeau being hostile, likely doesn't want to be underestimated despite being homeless, the boss of Team Rocket saw potential in him.

So he took care of him during his time in Lumiose, teaching him about the myths of legendary Pokemon in Johto and Hoenn (in the manga, he does do research on legendary pokemon to find them so he can gain more power), and how business runs. Ensuring he leaves an impact on Corbeau so, hopefully, he joins him some day. Then went back to Kanto once his trip was over, and perhaps afterward Corbeau was then raised by Lysandre (not sure if this means Giovanni and him have met, but I don't remember Lysandre mentioning him at all tho...)

Then after Giovanni's defeat, left Kanto and abandoned his son, I don't think he would go to Kalos to see Corbeau because he sees himself as weak.

So there, that's what I think happened. As much as it may be "funny", I think Game Freak should try and give Giovanni more dept than "evil mafia boss" in the games because Manga!Giovanni has more personality and layers to his character.

Okay before the new update drops, here's some random NPCs I think would be cool as playable characters. Some have more potential than others but I just thought it'd be neat anyway.

[sezez]

My prediction on the next update on CRK:

EDIT: Okay, I'm just hoping this is how this story ends. Shadow Clown Twink Cookie you're really pissing me off—

[sezez]

OH MY GOD HOW HAVE I ONLY FIGURED THIS OUT AFTER FOUR YEARS??

So, since LN3 still hasn't given out its release date I looked back at the infamous ending of LN2 and I noticed something that has been bothering me since I first saw it. (After my long mental breakdown)

How did the loop even began?

This question has been on my mind ever since, because this happened due to Six letting go of Mono. My theory is that she let him go because he seemed scary, causing her pain by breaking the one thing that comforted her, her music box.

And after she saw his face, she realized he was Thin Man (or related to him in some way) that's why she let him fall. To either save him from becoming TM or to save herself. Leading to the loop happening.

But now, what was it way before that? Imagine LN2, but there's no Thin Man and Six did not get kidnapped by him and Mono isn't being drawn to any TVs to open the door at the end of the hall. How would this play out then?

Well, this is how I imagine it.

So after dealing with the Doctor, Mono and Six explore the Pale City. Passing by the Viewers and trying to get to somewhere, then at some point Mono used his powers to teleport through tvs. With this new power, he and Six went around more and eventually the Wall of Flesh and Eyes monster brought them to the Signal Tower.

But as they explore, it began to break apart as the monster grew in closer to try and get them. So as the two runaway to a tv they can exit to, Mono takes a leap to Six, to which she caught him and was going to pull him up.

However, the wall did not want them to leave so it shook the bridge hard enough for Six to make her let go of Mono. Leading to the boy being trapped, him growing up to believing she betrayed him and now becomes the Thin Man. And the rest is history...

So... The wall of flesh is at fault here. Why? Because from the Sounds of Nightmares, in ep 2, Noone is met with creature similiar to the flesh in the tower. It gave her things she wanted, a pretty dress and necklace to keep her from leaving. It was lonely, so it did everything it could to get someone to stay.

And I think that what happened, the monster made Mono stay and start a loop. It took its chance to make Six seem like a villian, and it did. It made Mono miserable, viewing his friend as a monster despite living with an actual monster.

Is Doctor Harley Sawyer really dead?

That's a question I immediately asked after he died, I did see people complaining that he died too soon and felt like he was wasted despite the hype. And I would agree, if it wasn't for the question I just asked.

So, Sawyer's organs was put into machines and hooked into the system. And the way to kill him is by freezing these, that's it.

Which makes sense if you look at it from Playtime Co's perspective. Sawyer is a very dangerous man, willing to bush far and beyond the limits of morality for progress. Leith Pierre especially seems like he wants the doc to be on a tight leash after so many incidents, one after the other, he's sinking the company despite being the reason it was rising financially. So after he became a Ai, that still doesn't mean he's under control just yet.

I'm sure either Eddie or Leith thought this up, put his organs in small pods and inform Sawyer of how easy it will be for them to destroy it. To intimidate him and to remind him that his ruthlessness lead to this.

But if it was so threatening, why didn't he seem to care when the Protagonist froze his lungs with him there watching and rambling on. And how come when his brain got fried(frozen?) that's where he screams in pain, yet he didn't bother as to let out a groan or grunt when his other organs got bashed?

I feel like this could be implying that Harley's true body is still intact, and the ones we destroyed were decoys.

Now I like to bring up the tape we find after killing the doctor, his conversation with 1006. In the tape, it's mostly about the Prototype getting impatient with Harley for.. something, to which the doc explained that he needs more time so it would work. But what exactly are they talking about?

The Hour of Joy? Possibly.. perhaps Sawyer heard of it, but is not really involve with it since I think he was just sitting back and relaxing while he enjoys watching bloodbath.

What if... It was a new body? A body for the Prototype, and I'm not saying Sawyer is giving what's left of his organs to his experiment. (Although it could be) I'm saying the doc had already made a new body for himself and using it to make another for 1006.

I know it's a stretch, but it's clear that the Prototype is staying in the factory since, as mention before, he can't due to his nature as a living abomination. However, what if Sawyer proposed him a way to get out of the factory without worrying about how the public will react? That's where they probably started working together.

With a new body, he can finally escape and be free.

[sezez]

Okay, so PPT Chp. 4 will certainly get mixed reactions. But for me, it was great and I genuinely love how much more lore we got and I already have some theories to craft. But before that, I'll just write my thoughts to the characters.

Spoilers ahead and this might be a long post.

Nightmare Critters & Pianosaurus:

First of all, so sorry for all of those Pianosaurus fans cause was he played dirty! I honestly thought we were going to have a mini-boss fight with this guy and I do like his concept. But instead he was killed in like 8 seconds, and also he changed up Doey's introduction.

In the trailer, Doey fell from the ceiling but in game he ate the dino and make him seem more menacing compare to the trailer. I guess that's one complaint I have, because it would have made him seem more trustworthy if he hadn't showed us how powerful and dangerous he could be. For whatever reason it was, I guess the devs just decided to change his introduction last minute.

As for the Nightmare Critters... Eh, the devs just said they're going to be a very, very minor characters. Also I kind of find it funny in that one scene where Sawyer gave us a chance to kill a critter, a critter we literally don't give two sh!ts about. Would have been more emotional or make us hesitant if it were someone like a toy from Safe Heaven, begging the Protagonist to not kill them or maybe Kissy Missy(?).

Kissy Missy & Yarnaby:

I was so happy that Kissy lived and she was so cute throughout the chapter, I love her and I swear to god if she ends up sacrificing herself to protect us from Huggy Wuggy, I will cry a waterfall.

But I am still curious as to WHAT happened to her, I did saw Sheeprampage's video where she could have been expose to some fire and possibly did so by letting some of the Red Smoke out then lit it up.

I really pray she'll be alright in the next chapter.

On to Yarnaby, he turned out just as I expected; a pet to the Doctor. I know people are disappointed that he didn't do as much as Catnap but must I remind you that in the ARG, Yarnaby is a failure by design. He lost the intellect he had when he was a child (he's name was Quinn btw) and just became loyal to Sawyer and Sawyer alone.

Protagonist:

Now, right off the bat, I really like how we can see the Grabpack is shaking slightly. Just come to show just how traumatize this ex-employee is. Also, I am still wondering and praying if we'll EVER get an answer on who the Protag is. Like, can the characters just say our name instead of "You!", "I know you.", "I've never seen you before..", etc.

But what Sawyer asked, why did the Protagonist really come back? He does have a point on the letter (which I am questioning on how tf does he know about that), it can't be the only reason. Maybe it was because they lost a loved one, or perhaps they have some unfinished business?

I sure hope we get our answers soon...

And I am still wondering on how this employee, (he was straight up confirm by Harley and said by Miss Delight he's human) managed to survive a large-as$ fall?! Kissy's arm didn't reached 'em til after he got punched in the face by a pointy rock!

Harley Sawyer:

I know for a fact people are disappointed he didn't do much in this chapter, but I am satisfied. Sure, he could have had his robots scattered almost everywhere but he likes to play with his food rather than muling it down and making a mess. He leaves that job to his pets.

Also he literally is just a ghost in the machine, he can't do anything physical unless he uses those robots. I was a bit disturb the fact that his organs were kept in machines and I was confuse as to why he didn't even seem angry when we destroyed his lungs. I thought he'd get mad and try to prevent us from doing it to the rest of what's left of himself, yet he rants and rants on... Suspicious.

I also loved how he seemed so surprise to become a experiment himself, like sure all the other higher-ups did so, but he made too much of a mess. Which is ironic because he seems strict with things being clean, if the notes from the ARG saids so.

And I am interested with what the Prototype and Harley discussed during a VHS tape; "Tape and Time". 1006 is getting impatient with the doctor because he doesn't have time, but just what is it they mean? The Prototype was planning something big, I saw someone said it could be the Hour of Joy. How not only it was the toys fighting back, but for Harley to get his revenge to those that made him an ai. Proving to them it was a mistake to let him control everything and anything.

But I don't really see that being the case, I don't know why though.. just a gut feeling it isn't.

Doey the Doughman:

It seems like I was half wrong on him being a secret villain, I was quite surprised that he consists of three kids with their own personality. But I find that it makes sense, like this is a Bigger Body that is just a sentient clay and only having one soul control the big weight would be trouble some.

But overall, I do like his character a lot and I love the dynamic between him and Poppy. Yeah, she is right about blowing the factory up since there's no way in heck the toys can walk freely outside. They'll just go through the experiments all over again, but Doey still puts the moral dilemma infront. Just to show how much he cares for the non-hostile toys.

I honestly don't have much to say, he's just going to be the new Dogday to the fandom. A good character that dies, wether or not it actually affect the story.

EXP. 1006; The Prototype:

Now, this thing is really making me excited to see what the hell he looks like. The shadow of his spidery legs is creepy, but I'm wondering how the hell is he going through the small halls if those are his legs. Because this guy is gonna be as big as the Blob from FNAF.

And I, along with all the other people who saw it coming, weren't surprised to hear he's Ollie. I mean, the moment he spoke to the Protagonist and the tape we find at the end of Chapter 3 should have already alarmed us.

Also, I am not one of those people who think Elliot was turned into this guy. Elliot was still around when the BBI was on full swing, the math ain't gonna math if you try to do the calculation.

Poppy:

Okay, so... I will say I am NOT one of those people who will go "Oh, I knew it! Poppy's evil! She backstabbed us again!"

No. Stop, shut up.

She is simply a coward, and fresh reminder; she's a child, missing her father (Elliot) and is very much traumatized.

Did anyone you even watch the tape of her? And even though Sawyer is right about her knowing the Hour of Joy was to arrive, she didn't know about the true intention of it. She thought she and the other toys can escape, be free and live a life, but 1006 brings a point that is painfully true.

Even if they had escape, they would just go through the experiments all over again.

And I am so glad it's canon, because these toys cannot just go out there without scaring people or luring mad scientists on how they were made. They wouldn't be free, they would just lead themselves to another cage.

But as to Poppy herself, I love the tape of her and Ollie talking. Really makes the scene of him revealing to be the Prototype all the more heartbreaking for her, he was there when she cried, felt empty and was her only friend while Playtime Co. was in operation. But now that he's gone, she has no one. Kissy might come back for her, but the doll may distant herself away from others. To keep herself safe, to hide and stop bringing pain to those around.

I really hope we get to know more about her in the next chapter, especially with what the "tragic accident" is that led to her becoming a doll.

[sezez]

Poppy Playtime Chapter 4 Gameplay Trailer just got released and I am quite interested in the dynamic that shall be shown soon.

From what I can tell, we're gonna be facing three groups; Poppy, Doey, and Harley. Either Doey and Harley are rivals yet the clayman is gonna be having some beef with Poppy OR the doc and clay are working together which is why he seems so menacing in the thumbnail.

Poppy's lines, Kissy injured and Ollie making a reappearance:

Okay, let's just say I'm glad that our pink, huggable gal is back and alive! But she seems injured on her right side, so we probably might find her some time into the game, maybe after we meet Doey and enter into the Safe Heaven. Since he seems to be the warden/leader, taking in any injured toy under his wing.

And I believe Ollie will come back, since not only because the Protagonist still got the phone and he is an ally (But I'm still suspicious of him, he could be the Prototype). We heard him in the trailer yelling "He's outside!" As Poppy and Kissy try and enter through a steel door, possibly the entrance or a passage to the Safe Heaven.

But speaking of Poppy, I want to get through a line that is quite interesting.

"You've lied to me!"

That line has a lot of emotion, this could very much just be her telling that to Doey since he doesn't trust her and outright has her crossed out on the wall. But I don't think so, maybe she's aware that the clayman has distrust in her and she respects that since she blames herself for everything. Another suspect of who this is referring to is Ollie, that would make sense if that little boy is the Prototype.

But there is one that may spark new light, and that's the Protagonist. In SuperHorroBro's reaction to the trailer, he suspects it could be the Protag that Poppy said they lied to her. This would be so interesting to witness, like maybe this is some kind of reveal of who they are, or they did something that was necessary yet was still hurtful to Poppy.

Doey the Doughman, a ally or enemy?:

This new character is interesting, as the Devs have said that Harley is NOT the main villain and how excited they are about this new character in how they move. So this already gives off the feeling that Doey is not as friendly as he seems, he could be working with Harley.

But for now, let's talk about his Safe Heaven. From the mural, it's a place where he keeps the less hostile toys safe and away from all dangers. Since the prison is by far the worst place to be in. He may take on the role as the caregiver or warden or protector, guiding those who are lost to his place if they wish to be safe. However, there is ONE detail that is worth mentioning; the drawing of Poppy being crossed out with the words; "She left us".

This indicates that Poppy knows about Safe Heaven, but left at some point and never returned. Even though we know that Mommy locked her up inside the case till the Protagonist freed her, that is unknown to Doey and all the other toys in there. Believing she left them. And now, that would make such an interesting dynamic between him and her.

Heck, she may not even be with the Protag by the time they meet him and when he does learn they're with her... Some conflict may happen.

However, what strikes me as odd is that Doey is already so nice to the Protag when he dropped down from the ceiling. As if he already knew they aren't a threat. Which raises suspicion, I have a feeling that he will try and pursue them to be on his side, saying things like "The doctor is dangerous, so stay away from him, bud." Or " I wouldn't trust Poppy so much if I were you, you just want to get out and yet she's keeping you here." Just anything to make it seem he's empathetic.

And if that is the case, he's gonna backstab us once they defeat Harley or weaken us so the doc can have his entertainment.

Doctor Harley Sawyer will be everywhere and watching:

So it's clear that the doc is going to be a MAJOR thorn on our side, like this man will be watching our every move and sending out Yarnaby and the Nightmare Critters to get us. Even Pianosaurus is coming for our ass at 500 mph. And it's all a game to him.

He doesn't take our Protagonist seriously, which is something he shall be proven wrong once they kill Yarnaby or maybe destroy/shutting off the IT room (that's what I'm calling it, the room where all the power is turned on when the doc woke up) so he will no longer be a threat.

And I am quite surprised to hear that Harley and the Prototype are working together now, despite in the past they hated each other. I did hear that Harley woke up in 2002(?), so maybe after seeing all the destruction he may have come at peace with the Prototype. Maybe 1006 promised him freedom or something.

But anyway, the multiple animatronics might play as a weeping angel kind of enemy. Like with Miss Delight, but multiple scattered around in a FNAF:SB way. And it's likely that Harley can transport his consciousness to them/control them will. Maybe during that scene with the multiple stacks of TVs and the door at the end of the hall is where the Protagonist will meet the main body.

Maybe after they dealt with Doey, like it's a reward or final challenge in a way.

[sezez]

So the Poppy Playtime Chapter 4 ARG has been shining a load of light on Harley Sawyer so I figure it's time I talk about it. (I just realize I've been dead for the past...two months? Anyway-)

So we know by now that Harley was part of this program when he was a child or teen possibly and he was favored by Elliot because of his intelligence. But he lack one thing that made the founder worried.

Humility

Harley did not care at all for other people and rather focus on the process and progress of things. He even lashed out at Elliot for being too soft, then stormed out. In a shred up document, he calls Elliot a backstabber for believing and having high-hopes for him only to be let go.

Which is why Elliot had to let him go and tell him to try and reconnect with other people.

(Which basically him politely saying "Go outside, touch some grass and visit a mental hospital)

And then when Harley became an adult, Leith is the one to hire him back into the factory. Which makes me curious as to why.

This could take place after Elliot's passing, but I watched a few SheepRampage's video and he theorize that Harley is the one behind his death; via using a Bigger Body toy to kill him. So if Elliot was in fact alive when Harley got hired, the doctor could have pretended to change and only go back to his usual self behind the founder's back.

And let's just take a quick moment to realize something; Harley could have very much been the one to place the dead body of a young boy in Elliot's house, to ruin his good name and his image as a family man.

(which is a extreme petty move, Harley. You really did that because Elliot said "No more experimenting" to you all those years ago?)

Anyway, back on track; I can guess that Harley was brought back as a desperate move by Playtime Co. after the Catnap Controversy. Which is where the Bigger Body Initiative was made then the rest is history.

Now, let's talk about the audio we hear when dialing the phone number the ARG gave.

So in the audio, we hear Leith, Eddie and Stella in a private room discussing about a mistake/incident that angered the Head of Innovation so much. It's also must be very bad because Leith ask Eddie if this will get out, to which the latter said they'll be in the clearing zone.

And Gerald Lockheart is back, (the same detective who investigated the Theodore Case back in the PPT Chapter 3 ARG) and he soon entered the room, and told the three Heads who is responsible; Harley Sawyer.

And that leaves a major question; WHAT is this mistake? WHY did it anger Leith so much to the point he wants to strangle the person responsible for it?

For the former, I think the ARG is giving a clear hint; the Theater Incident.

The theater has been mention quite a lot in most of the ARG updates, it started with a ripped apart Incident Report from a employee who was touring a bunch of people that led to a child getting hurt, they pleaded to not ever be mention and willing to do anything as long as they aren't blame for it because they honestly don't know what happened because it was so quick.

And now thinking about it, I think this is what the higher-ups were talking about.

But I decided to take it one step further, what if not only this resulted in a injury of a child, but also the death of Elliot Ludwig and the people who were being toured.

As for how it plays out (forgive me if it's so bad) ; So one day in the factory, a group of people were being toured around and reached the theater. Elliot was also present at the time, then suddenly Yarnaby comes out and kills the founder. Leading to a panic and possibly more deaths, and it's like a fire also broke out, base om a few pictures that have shown burnt toys and a poster.

And I know it's a sudden leap to think Yarnaby is the one who killed Elliot. But people kept pointing out Yarnaby is a yarn lion toy, and I like to imagine he is meant to be in the theater as entertainer. Along with the other characters teased such as the Piano Dinosaur and the Jester character we have yet to see.

Also Harley is likely the one to tell Yarnaby to attack Elliot, because he purposefully isolated himself with so he can make it very obedient to him.

So with the founder dead and a few bodies, this obviously furious Leith. And I think what Stella was trying to say before the Head of Innovation cut her off, is that they most likely had to kill any survivors of the attack to keep things quiet.

And even after all of that, they still kept Harley around because he may have threaten to blackmail them or because he is like the one thing that's still keeping the factory together. As much as they hate it, they knew the doctor can just kill them any time he wants.

[sezez]

You know, the more I think about how terrifying it is to live in the world of 'That's Not My Neighbor', it's basically if face blindness was a horror game.

Those who don't know, face blindness is a disorder is where someone cannot recognize people if their most unique trait is absent.

(Or at least, that's the basic description for it saids)

For example, your friend always have their hair tied up and one day you see them having their hair down. Since you only know this friend as someone with tied up hair, you think they're someone random.

So try and imagine yourself living in a world where doppelgangers are everywhere and your only hope is to not get killed by one or getting mistaken for being a double. Your only survival is the friends or people who know your looks, how you act, and the doorman if you live in a apartment.

I can totally see all doormen being stressed out and overthinking the moment they see a resident, especially if they have killed innocents in the past. Like these people's lives are at their hands and if they slipped them up, they're gone for good.

And this must also sucks for the residences just as much, having to keep their faces the same 24/7, knowing that if they change their appearance slightly, the doorman will contact the D.D.D on them.

And this makes me wonder, what would happen if they had an accident on their way back?

For example, they got their arm broken and have to wear a cast and gets to the apartment, the doorman will question as this resident left the building perfectly fine and healthy.

But seeing them with a cast will make them suspicious, I feel like they might contact the hospital they were in to confirm if they have gone to get healed.

[sezez]

I have a confession to make, may I have mercy for what I'm bout to say but uh...

I honestly hate how FMA:B handles Mustang and Hawkeye's relationship. Yes, you heard me right. I hate it.

But this is a personal thing, I'm not saying the show did a bad job at showing it or anything! However, I shall allow you to get your flamethrowers out.

It's just... I'm a big FMA 03 fan, and I just prefer how Mustang is portrayed as this mysterious boss who seems to care about himself and will do what it takes to get to the top. And Hawkeye being his right-hand woman, keeping an eye on him and making sure he isn't making a fool of himself.

And I honest just dislike how Hawkeye looks in Brotherhood, I- I just don't like how her eyes look because she is meant to be this serious and intimidating character since she is entitled to be "The Hawk's Eye"

But in Brotherhood, her eyes look far too innocent for that to match with her title. And I prefer how her eyes look in 03, having a sharper edge and her eyes being a amber brown then a chocolate brown.

I'm sorry Brotherhood!Hawkeye, I just don't like how less intimidating you are compare to 03!Hawkeye. You can shoot me more times than you did to Lust.

Anyway, onto my problems with the relationship...

I just don't like how much it's presented in the show, like the viewer can see there's something going on between them. Like it's so obvious, it's frustrating to look at and how other characters don't see it too.

While in 03, it's much more quiet and it feels the relationship they have is natural and hidden from everyone, including the viewers with only little hints to them having a deeper connection than we thought.

And the biggest issue I have with this is during the moment when Hawkeye shot Lust multiple times because she thought her boss was dead.

Yeah, I hate how she had a mental breakdown immediately after a Homunculi who's very likely to lie and manipulate her.

I just- I just expected her to handle the situation better, like girl- you know this man for years and there will be times where he might die given his status, position, and power. I know you're whole job is to protect him and follow where he goes, but- just... There WILL be a time where, he just dies.

And just, I expected her to not take Lust's words seriously so soon despite not seeing Mustang's dead ass. And I dislike how fast it was for her to react that way, like there's no slow moment or proof that he's dead to her.

So why did she just... Fired her gun at Lust like a little child throwing a tantrum because she couldn't find her favorite toy?

So, now that I have most likely have tons of people pointing their guns at me, I'll just say one more thing about what I liked in 03 more than in Brotherhood.

The parallel between in 03 where Hawkeye cries over a presume dead Mustang after he got his eye shot and in Brotherhood where Mustang holds a injured Hawkeye.

In Brotherhood, I was really annoyed with Mustang. Cause, dude, your wife is bleeding out and your just being held by some of mindless men that are just HOLDING YOU BY THE ARMS AND YOUR HANDS ARE COMPLETELY FREE for you to snap your fingers and burn them all. And the way he held is cute, but annoying that he didn't do shit and was REALLY useless in that moment.

And honestly I wished you stayed blind, maybe your eyes could have been taken out all together like how Ed lost his leg or Izumi having her guts ripped out. Also the moment doesn't feel sad or worrying to me, it's just frustration because he can do SOMETHING in that moment.

Now what I liked in 03, I really enjoy that throughout the series, Hawkeye is some distant person who just seems done with her job and the colonel on his bs. But the moment when she was running up to the Fuhrer's mansion, and seeing him on the ground with a puddle of blood, she goes to him and calls his name out.

And she cries when she didn't get a response, and that's what I liked more. She doesn't immediately cries, she checks to make sure he's with her. That moment felt more emotional and powerful to me than in FMA:B.

And I want to thank you all coming to my personal opinion on a lovely ship, I will gladly take any hits from you all and have a good day, afternoon, and night.

[qs63]

Um, I'm not here to comment on your takes. Whether you prefer 03 or BH is subjective and up to each person. No one should be judging you for that (regardless of them agreeing with your reasons or not). However, you're wrong about the scene where Roy is being held down. He's completely immobilized, the first thing they did was grab his hands.

The image quality in Brotherhood is not great, and the motion makes it harder to see the details, but they're holding his hands in the anime too (I double checked to make sure I wasn't misremembering). He only gets free because Mei kills one of the dudes holding him down. He can't snap. I doubt he can move much more than his head in that awkward position. He IS completely helpless to watch her bleed out.

You can dislike this scene, but that's not how it happened.

[sezez]

OOHHH- yeah, I'm sorry. I honestly didn't see it while rewatching Brotherhood, it was so far from the camera and his hands are out of frame when it did close up on him (either that or I wasn't paying attention). Thanks for telling me, by the way.

[sezez]

Anyway, onto my problems with the relationship...

I just don't like how much it's presented in the show, like the viewer can see there's something going on between them. Like it's so obvious, it's frustrating to look at and how other characters don't see it too.

While in 03, it's much more quiet and it feels the relationship they have is natural and hidden from everyone, including the viewers with only little hints to them having a deeper connection than we thought.

And the biggest issue I have with this is during the moment when Hawkeye shot Lust multiple times because she thought her boss was dead.

Yeah, I hate how she had a mental breakdown immediately after a Homunculi who's very likely to lie and manipulate her.

I just- I just expected her to handle the situation better, like girl- you know this man for years and there will be times where he might die given his status, position, and power. I know you're whole job is to protect him and follow where he goes, but- just... There WILL be a time where, he just dies.

And just, I expected her to not take Lust's words seriously so soon despite not seeing Mustang's dead ass. And I dislike how fast it was for her to react that way, like there's no slow moment or proof that he's dead to her.

So why did she just... Fired her gun at Lust like a little child throwing a tantrum because she couldn't find her favorite toy?

So, now that I have most likely have tons of people pointing their guns at me, I'll just say one more thing about what I liked in 03 more than in Brotherhood.

The parallel between in 03 where Hawkeye cries over a presume dead Mustang after he got his eye shot and in Brotherhood where Mustang holds a injured Hawkeye.

In Brotherhood, I was really annoyed with Mustang. Cause, dude, your wife is bleeding out and your just being held by some of mindless men that are just HOLDING YOU BY THE ARMS AND YOUR HANDS ARE COMPLETELY FREE for you to snap your fingers and burn them all. And the way he held her after she got saved is cute, but annoying that he didn't do shit and he was REALLY useless in that moment.

And honestly I wished Mustang stayed blind, hell, maybe his eyes could have been taken out all together like how Ed lost his leg or Izumi having her guts ripped out. Also the moment doesn't feel sad or worrying to me, it's just frustration because he can do SOMETHING in that moment.

Now what I liked in 03, I really enjoy that throughout the series, Hawkeye is some distant person who just seems done with her job and the colonel's bullshit. But the moment when she was running up to the Fuhrer's mansion, and seeing him on the ground with a puddle of blood, she goes to him and calls his name out.

And she cries when she didn't get a response, and that's what I liked more. She doesn't immediately cries, she checks to make sure he's with her. That moment felt more emotional and powerful to me than in FMA:B.

And I want to thank you all coming to my personal opinion on a lovely ship, I will gladly take any hits from you all and have a good day, afternoon, and night.

What really sucked me into loving FMA 03 was episode 37, the time where Mustang and his team were doing some shenanigans.

Like throughout the show, we all suspected that Mustang only cares about himself, getting a promotion and feeding his ego and pride. But this episode showed that he's just some guy, and his team cares about him and they aren't afraid to goofing off because they know they can trust their boss.

I just love how his team bonds with one another, and that ep is one of the best episodes in the series.

(I really wanted Brotherhood to have that too, but since Mustang's team got separated like half-way then there's no point.)

Anyway, I just... I absolutely love these dorks and I did notice that they had more screentime than in Brotherhood.

[sezez]

Okay, I just re-watched my all time favorite anime: Fullmetal Alchemist (03)

Then I watched FMA:Brotherhood to see the difference because it's been a long time since I watched it and uh... I still love 03 more than Brotherhood.

There are just so many things in Brotherhood that I disliked or it didn't meet my taste unlike in 03, and I know this fandom is basically dead or something (especially 03 fandom) and there have been many discussions on which series is the better. But this is my personnel take, I love 03 than Brotherhood.

If you like FMA:B or FMA03, then it's okay. Watch what you like :D

Anyway, yes, FMA had some flaws, but that's only at the ending part (not on how it actually ended). However so does FMA:B, ESPECIALLY at the beginning of it.

They literally skipped Ed's and Al's development as kids going out to a big world that's going to be harsh and cruel and they nothing more than an ant to it. Not to mention, the mock battle between the Fullmetal and Flame.

And some of the characters there feel like actual people, rather than just being used for the plot. And the dynamic, the realism, and the emotional moments are beautiful to watch.

I think the big difference between 03 and Brotherhood is the big three best things about them.

In 03 we have:

Emotional fights

Character development

Realism in situations

In Brotherhood we have:

World building

Amazing action scenes

Cast of lovable characters

Both shows are amazing, I just prefer 03 because of the characters that feel like actually people than being used for the plot and just how much of an impact they caused to one another.

Let's talk about Exp. 1006, the Prototype. He is by far a mystery, cause I can't tell if he's really bad or good. But with some of the things he did in Chapter, I think it's safe to say that 1006 had some good intention, but right now he has bad ones.

The Prototype never cared for Catnap, he was just a tool to him:

I always had a feeling that Exp. 1006 didn't actually cared for Catnap nor the other experiments. The moment he killed Catnap I knew my assumption was true, I know others say Catnap sacrifice himself for the Prototype. But if we look back at the ARG, the story of Theodore Grambell and how he became Catnap, it tells me something.

Many assume that 1006 is good and that he did cared for the orphans because he saved Theodore rather than escaping when he had the chance. But to me, I think this is the Prototype scheming something.

I believe that the reason why 1006 saved Theodore is because he knew Theo was one of the candidates picked to be Catnap. And when Theo did became Catnap, that only help 1006 take advantage. He knows since he saved Catnap, he will follow every command 1006 tells him and will do everything and anything for him.

I believe that 1006 never really cared for Catnap, he just needed him to make his plan work.

And when Catnap got defeated by the Protagonist, getting electrocuted and burned like he did when he was human, the Prototype came down and pretended he was gonna help him like he did last time.

But it was a trick, 1006 took this opportunity and kill Catnap so he can combine his body to his own.

And I had a feeling that the reason why Mommy Long Legs seem terrified of 1006 when she was getting killed, is because she knew what he was after all along and she did not want that.

I believe that after the Hour of Joy, the Prototype showed his true colors to the other experiments and that's what made them fear and hate him (aside from Catnap and possibly a few others).

The Prototype isn't Elliot Ludwig, or atleast not anymore:

As much as there are many hints to Elliot being the Prototype, I still have my doubts. Yes, it's most likely that Elliot is out of the picture by the time the Bigger Body Initiative started, and I do believe that Elliot is perhaps the Prototype.

And maybe he became the Prototype as a way to escape, after all, he does seem rather suspicious and a new discovery was unfold to the public such as a dead boy inside his home. So, he volunteered to become Exp. 1006 to escape the law or he was getting too old. And in Matpat's video, he forgot who he was and turn against the scientist. And yet, the Prototype we meet in the game is different, he doesn't seem to care for the toys at all, taking any opportunity to strike them even though he is the reason why they're free from experimentation.

So, what am I trying to say here?

Well, I have this theory that the Prototype is like a parasite, needing a host to survive. Or let's say, if the original owner dies, someone can take it's place.

I don't have much evidence, but it's rather unique that 1006 can mimic voices. However it'd all being controlled by one person, and that got me thinking.

If Elliot Ludwig is infact 1006, which explains why Harley said there is something precious inside 1006's core, then why did he change? Why did he became evil after seemingly saving the toys and stopping the scientists to continue experimenting? He was a kind man, so why the sudden change?

Well, I believe that the Prototype in the past (before Playtime Co.'s downfall) is NOT the same as the one in the present (During the Game).

I think that maybe during the Hour Of Joy, the og person in 1006 died and someone took it's place.

That sounds crazy right? I know, since Poppy Playtime seems to be more on experimental and science kind of horror rather than ghosts and possession like in FNAF. But who knows?

Exp. 1006, the Prototype has been going after only one goal, to be human again:

Y'know how in Poppy Playtime, the scientists turns humans into toys, right?

So, is it possible for a toy to become human again?

It may seem impossible, but it was the same with the Bigger Body Initiative. Harley said it was to other people, but he proved them wrong. And you must be wondering, why does the Prototype want to become human again?

The answer is quite simple, to escape the factory.

That pretty much makes sense, cause what would you do if you were trapped inside a factory filled with hungry toys for a decade? You would want to escape too. I believe 1006 was the one who sent the letter to the Protagonist after finding out they're still alive, I think he did this so he can see if the Protag's body will be a good vessel for him.

Perhaps he'd done this before, wether the person was a employee or not, he send out the letter and see what they're made of. And if they fail, he'll try again with another one.

And it seems like the Protagonist is the perfect vessel, capable to do the impossible.

The whole Elliot Ludwig podcast is a surprise and creepy thing to note. Elliot may not be the man he seems. And yet, I still wonder what this all means, did Elliot actually do it? Or was it a set up?

It was only half-true, Elliot was never blamed, the dead boy is actually the family member he lost so he blamed himself for his death:

I believe that Elliot is a good man, a family man at heart. And from his speech, he really sounds like a good guy. He wanted to make children happy, feel loved and find a place for them to belong.

I know people are already suspecting that Elliot front image of being a "perfect-family-man" is a lie to hide who he truly is, and the podcast about a dead boy in his bedroom stuffed into a duffle bag is raising some eyebrows. But, I still have a feeling that Elliot isn't at fault here.

We all know that Elliot got divorced in the 1930s, then in the 1960s a tragic family death pushed Elliot to his lowest. We never get to hear who died, many speculated it was Elliot's daughter who became the Poppy doll. But I don't think so.

I think I now know who died and what happened to them, I believe the family member Elliot lost is the boy found inside the duffle bag.

Now, I know there isn't any evidence to back this theory up, but work with me. I think that the whole podcast of Elliot being blamed and suspected for the boy's death is a lie, he was never blamed for it.

Remember, we heard the podcast when the Protagonist was dreaming after inhaling the Red Smoke and there's been some signs that the reverse audio we heard was the Protagonist talking to themselves for not being at the factory during The Hour of Joy and they came back because of survivor's guilt.

So I imagine that the podcast is Elliot's nightmare, his fear of being responsible for his lost and blaming himself for not saving the boy or being blamed for it.

I know this is a long stretch, but it's just a theory and I hope we get to know more of this in the next chapter.

The crime was just a set-up to keep the public occupied so the company can continue the experiments without getting any attention:

Now this one is I think is likely to be true. For all we know, Elliot made Playtime Co. to make toys for children to be happy. But then the experiments start to happen, in a VHS tape in Project: Playtime, Harley Sawyer (aka the Doctor/ the founder of the Bigger Body Initiative) said that people who starting to see things they shouldn't and lawsuits are coming in and out. So he propose the BBI to make giant toys to work for them.

I feel like after the whole program was in full swing, the public are starting to notice something fishy. Like the Catnap Recall, a news reporter talks about the concerns parents have about the Catnap toy because their kids start to have violent nightmares. So Playtime Co. recalled the Catnap toys, but damage was already done and I believe this became a slight problem for Playtime Co.

The company had to think up a way for the public to calm down and stay away from suspicion. And they came up with a plan.

Framing and making Elliot Ludwig, the Founder of Playtime Co. look like a sick psycho, hiding beneath his friendly-face is something worse.

I believe that Harley or Leith or someone killed a orphan boy at Playcare, took some of their bones and organs out, put him in a duffle bag then placed him inside Elliot's bedroom in his home.

And this seemed to work, with the public distracted by the new discovery of Elliot, Playtime Co. gets away with the experiments.

Elliot did kill a child, but he wasn't sick, he did it so Playtime Co. can shut down and stop the experiments:

This is a very long stretch, I know. But I think it be very unique if Elliot had no idea about the experiments and slowly overtime, he starts to notice something suspicious going on.

I imagine he investigated around for a bit, (like Rowan Stoll from the ARG) and found out about the Bigger Body Initiative. Imagine how horrified Elliot was, realizing the company was doing cruel experiments on orphans and turning them into toys. The complete opposite of what he originally wanted.

And perhaps he learned what happened to employees who knew or tried to expose Playtime Co. for it's experiments, getting killed off. And he tried to think up a good plan, any ways for him to expose the truth. But none seem to work, he knows he would end up dead, even if he was the CEO of Playtime, they could always replace him.

So, he did something he knew he would regret forever.

Killing a child inside his house.

I think Elliot did this because he knew if he did something horrible, the company would have taken some affect and perhaps it'll shut down due to the bad reputation.

And so he did it, he killed a young boy, had some of his skeleton and organs gone and stuff him into a duffle bag and placed it in his bedroom.

That's why Playtime Co. said they'll try and prove his innocents and keep his name on the brand. And I wouldn't be surprise if afterward they killed Elliot for spilling it out or turning him into a toy.

Throughout Poppy Playtime, the Protagonist is quite the mysterious character. But in Chapter 3, we get a bit more info on them. I find the Protagonist very interesting and I hope that MOB Games might give us a clear answer on them. (And I may sound stupid for saying this over and over, but I really want the Protagonist to have a voice so we can hear what they're thinking about all of this)

The Protagonist is employee who happens to look like a specific scientist/employee familiar to the toys:

It's by this point that the Protagonist might be a scientist or someone who knew about the experiments and came back to find the employees, but is now gonna help Poppy to redeem themselves.

But, I personally believe that the Protagonist was a normal employee, they didn't know about the experiments and only came back to search for the missing employees.

But you may say: "But the toys recognize the Protagonist." Or "There are clear signs that the Protagonist knew about the experiments."

To which I know and agree with. But if the Protagonist did knew about it all, then why bother to come back if they knew what the toys were capable of?

Anyone who knew that Huggy is alive is about to get the hell out of the factory the moment he disappeared. And yet the Protagonist didn't. (But maybe it's also because the door leading to the entrance closed itself, I keep noticing that while everyone else doesn't.)

Anyway, I also think that the Protagonist might look familiar to the experiments. Like the Protagonist's hairstyle is similar to a scientist, or their face looks like higher rank employee or perhaps is the way they're dressed. Just something about them looks familiar to every toy.

The toys are (un)welcoming the Protagonist back after leaving them:

During the nightmare, the Protagonist runs into a radio on the floor and it's saying something in reverse. This is what it said:

"8-8-1995. I find your presence intrusive. After all this time you've return, you come in here and yet you kill and murder. You pillage and destroy. Your presence was demanded 10 years ago and yet you didn't show up... 8-8-1995. You were suppose to be here, why weren't you here? You missed the event, you missed the meeting, you missed the party. You have no right to be here... 8-8-1995."

I believe this is Exp. 1006 talking to the Protagonist, he's mad that they weren't at the factory during The Hour of Joy on August 8, 1995 and got killed. And now the Protagonist is back and they're killing he's subordinates, ruining and interfering his plan.

And 1006 doesn't seem to be the only one who's mad, the other toys too. For example, Mommy Long Legs, she seems to hold a grudge against all employees of Playtime Co. and wants them to die.

Is the Protagonist really gonna help Poppy:

This has been on my mind for a bit, because I wonder if the Protagonist is gonna help Poppy just like that?

Poppy lied to the Protagonist about letting them escape and then the train crashed, hurting the Protagonist and getting dragged by Catnap to a crasher that could have killed them. And when the Protagonist and Poppy do reunite, she just left them on their own while she and Kissy Missy were above on the elevator, even though she literally said she was there to help.

And it's suspicious that the next destination Poppy leads the Protagonist to is deep below, where possible all of the dead bodies of the employees are.

Why would she lead the Protagonist there?

If the Protagonist is a employee who had zero idea about the experiments, then it's quite understandable for them to be angry at Poppy and not wanting to do any of this any longer because they just wanted to know what and where the other employees are, and the Protagonist got the answer, they're all dead. That's it, it's time for them to leave and never, ever come back.

If the Protagonist was a scientist who was involve in the experiments, then perhaps they're doing it because they feel guilty and want to redeem themselves. But if the Protagonist is actually evil, then they're just helping Poppy to cover up everything and possibly betraying Poppy in the process.

Okay, so I just finish watching SuperHorrorBro's and Dawko's playthrough and I absolutely LOVE this chapter!

God, it was also pretty traumatizing (especially the scene with Dogday, dear lord). But, the most important and best thing is the LOOOORREEE!!!

The devs really gave us a lot of good meals to dig in.

And I am currently making theories for three characters in particular; The Protagonist, Elliot Ludwig, and Exp. 1006, the Prototype.

Since those three have gained a lot of new info, and I am planning on to make a post about ALL (not really all, the more important ones to be exact) of the VHS tapes from Chapter 1-3.
