The scene of Cesare looking at the cabineted watchers and then IMMEDIATELY running to his own cabinet..is like haha what 🥹GET OUT OF THAT FUCKING CABINET OH MY GOD!!! RUNNN!!!

OKAY SO. I’ve been chewing on Bigtop Burger for a while now. A little over a year being into it. And the new episodes roped me right back in. Something that regularly happens to me when I pop back over is, because of the short nature of the series, I grab onto as much as I can. And that’s what happened with Stone Jars, I looked at the lyrics and attached them to everything.

The song is brilliant and I’ve got Words about it, and the way he talks in the song makes me wonder if Cesare was in a fugue state running to his cabinet, OR, if it was all Caligari’s doing

I think Caligari, considering his veins are in the walls of his room, and the way he talks about the watchers in Stone Jars, and how the twists and turns of the walls appeared, made the chase scene the way it was. I don’t think Cesare intended to run into his own cabinet. I think the shape of the halls shifted. I think Cesare was lead to his cabinet like a mouse in a maze being played with by the cat who’s going to eat it. Caligari is playing with his food. He could’ve shoved Cesare directly in the cabinet, or let him scurry before catching him and slamming the door. He chose the sadistic option of letting Cesare scramble before crushing him.

Caligari’s power definitely does stretch beyond his room, despite how sickly he sounds and the fact he doesn’t move from his spot.

I think Cesare could get out if he gave it a try, but if he leaves that means he faces Caligari. Maybe that’s why the other watchers said, “I have served for many years, but my sentence will be over soon.” bc maybe they believed their punishment was part of their sentence, that maybe one day they’d be let out. To the point that they don’t even move when the doors to their cabinets open. They dare not step out when not told. Even Cesare, attitude-filled, does-what-he-wants Cesare, didn’t argue with him when he said he was extending his sentence. Because how do you argue with what Caligari is? He’s what kept you alive.

THIS IS INCREDIBLE. smart boy genius theory

[subniveanzone]

WAIT I FORGOT SOMETHING.

the cabinets also blend into the wall. another part of the layout being used to fuck with Cesare

and i watched VENEZIA again (bc today is presumably the next episode and also it’s 6 am and i have not slept) and every time Cesare gets visions of the other watchers (a few seconds after blinking) the layout changes. it’s like image-burning powers, like images burned onto old film or nensha (like the ring) ya know? it would be nuts if Caligari could do image-burning in Cesare’s mind while changing the layout. it would be straight up bizarro insane + creepy as fucking hell.

little spiders crawling on the walls as the house falls down around them. something something the futility of effort in the face of things that are beyond you.

I WAS RIGHT!!! HE LITERALLY SHIFTS THE SPACE!!! YES HELL YES

[athenap-wow]

This line got way funnier after episode 7

[rabdoidal]

senshi of dungeon meshi fame is actually the sexiest character in the world. hes beefy, hes hairy, he knows how to cook, hes completely batshit but also the most level-headed person you’ll ever meet, he took like a month off living his life to make sure a group of strangers didnt die of malnutrition, he ate a dubious bowl of soup once that he was 80% sure contained dwarf meat-

handsome women covered in blood. reblog.

GUYS I THINK I JUST FIGURED IT OUT

This line of Friends in Low Places indicates that Cesare died during a holiday (talk about adding insult to injury lmao). Until the latest episode I had assumed it would be either Christmas or Halloween since those are the ones most commonly referred to with the term “hallowed”. But assuming he dies the night of the flashback, it looks more like this takes place in the middle of summer.

So I decided to look up what old holidays were observed during summertime and GUESS WHAT I FOUND

☆ CHRISTMAS IN JUNE!!!!!! ☆

Here are some screengrabs from the credits sequence of season two btw. Worthikids has been planning this shit for YEEEARS

And anyone missing the crews (me) can rest easy— we WILL see them again.

Also feel free to theorize about that last picture…

[subniveanzone]

“BANISHMENT.”

“BUT MY SENTENCE WILL BE OVER SOON.”

THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! Stone Jars is such a banger and the new episodes have gotten me RIGHT back into the series!

someone else, i don’t remember who, made a good point about what the watchers in Stone Jars, specifically that they’re “my little spiders” that Caligari mentions, which is so delightfully creepy!!!

[gogojamie]

CHES-ARE!! The new episodes are driving me crazy in the best way! Leave my nasty little guy alone >:(
