the son is making his return

[doodleferp]

Two new concepts for kids of Crypt TV monsters (who I’m now calling CryptKids).

Alaina, theyby of Soot, is a literal sunshine child in disguise as a pastel goth. They were raised by a somewhat hippie couple who adopted them when they were ten.

They’re blind, of course, but they can distinguish where people are because they can see souls. They can also tell you the exact time and date of your death. Neat, huh?

They have had to improvise with some “disguises” when they go outside because people tend to take one look at them and call an ambulance. It’s not their fault they have bones sticking out of their head.

Unlike Atticus, their father is not present in their life. Soot doesn’t like to be reminded of the fact that he, a being of death, has created life. They don’t even know where their real mother is. Dead, probably. They wouldn’t put it past Soot.

Jehovah, son of The Brute, is a really soft paranoid boy. He was raised by two conservative moms and he’s very button-down and traditional.

His mother is dead. No mere human can fight The Brute and live, much less fuck it. She was a sacrifice that took a strange turn, and was then tossed to The Brute after she gave birth to her baby nine months later. Jehovah was sent away from The Colony, and was adopted by his moms.

Like Alaina, his abilities are all his father gave him. However, Jehovah is much more of a loose cannon than the other kids. If he so much as tastes blood, he’ll go into a killing frenzy like some kind of walking shark. He has to be super careful about this — he takes weekly trips to the dentist to try and file down his teeth so he can’t accidentally pierce his lip.

He once got lice at school and refused to shave his head because of the strange mark on his forehead. He refuses to acknowledge anything about his bio-dad. He hates the thought of even being associated with it.

Now that my skills have improved, a redraw of Atticus. You may remember him from my Son of Look-See VS ___ posts (https://doodleferp.tumblr.com/post/617031354926923776 , https://doodleferp.tumblr.com/post/188450256598/in-honor-of-crypttvs-newest-short-were-pitting).

He is the type of child who will blast Panic at the Disco’s cover of Into the Unknown at 3:00AM for no apparent reason.

Here’s some starter-pack information about Look-See and his son. I do apolgize if any of this seems cringey to you, I want to try and keep canon characters as in-character as possible, but I also want to have fun with this concept.

Look-See has been awarded grand prize for World’s Okayest Dad. He’s not a bad parent, per say... but there’s a reason why he’s not allowed to supervise Atticus for extended periods of time.

Atticus thinks his dad is the cat’s pajamas. A strong parental figure that always keeps his word and holds people accountable for their actions? He wants to be like him when he grows up — and the route he’s going, that’s probably what’s going to happen.

Play fighting started when Atticus was seven and you have my absolute guarantee it’s only going to get more violent as he gets older. It sounds questionable, but given that these two are monsters it makes some sense.

After a few years of roughhousing with his father, Atticus once tried to roughhouse with a kid at school and ended up taking their arm off. No more roughhousing outside of a family setting.

He used to watch Atticus sleep. This isn’t an exaggeration — he was so paranoid that something would come and kill his son in the middle of the night that he literally stood over Atticus’s bed and watch him sleep for the first seven or eight years of his life.

They have similar views that Atticus’s mom must be protected from other monsters. It’s not exactly unheard of for humans to offer themselves to monsters, but they usually die after the experience. Atticus’s birth is an oddity in itself, and that’s gonna attract a lot of attention.

Son of Look-See VS The Birch

Hey, I haven’t talked about the Son of Look-See in a while!

The Birch was what made me really get invested in CryptTV, and since I did one for Miss Annity already, I figured with her big series on FacebookWatch, The Birch definitely deserves her own spotlight on here. (GIF by Tenor)

Dad, I broke the stick by aCCIDENT, I sWEAR-

Atticus really didn’t mean to break that summoning stick. Hell, if he’d known it was even a summoning stick, he wouldn’t have even touched it! Now he’s got this tree woman chasing after his dad. Whoop-de-doo.

Aside from his house being torn to shreds by spontaneously-overgrown houseplants and his father being attacked every time he tries to come in the house, what could go wrong?

A lot. Quite a lot could go wrong.

The Birch is all about protecting, and that’s great. Atticus has been taught to respect those with good intentions. But she doesn’t exactly know what she’s supposed to be doing in this case. Atticus didn’t make the summoning stick, but the only logical conclusion here is that his family is being threatened by this monster. Why would it be coming back if not to terrorize them?

So she decides to go off-script for today and do these kids a solid. Because she’s a nice monster, right?

Look-See and The Birch stand on pretty equal footing, but he can only take so many attacks before he just gives up. Eventually, Atticus’s mom is the one who saves the boys by packing up and moving to a town with no forests.

So much for a secluded haven in the woods. Now Dad can’t visit as much as he used to.

For Halloween, here’s a full-front view of Atticus, and some starter pack information!

He’s currently eleven years old (turning twelve in a few months), and is in sixth grade.

He is fully mute due to having been born without vocal chords, an situation doctors have yet to explain. He communicates with others using a notepad (and a dry-erase board in class). And for some reason, he’s gotten fairly decent at messing with radio stations to communicate his thoughts.

His human family is largely Inuit in background, and have only lived in the US for three generations.

Additionally, his mom’s side of the family has the highest monster attack survival rate on the planet. Nobody knows why this happens, and his maternal family is often referred to as “the lucky ones”. I will elaborate on this in a later post.

Like his father, Atticus has a strong sense of “justice”, which means he tends to try and take “pieces” from people he thinks are being too difficult in letting things go. His mom is working on trying to reign in his murderous impulses, and they’ve had to move several times because of a mess these impulses made.

Speaking of the Look-See, Atticus really respects and looks up to his father. He thinks being part-monster is the cat’s pajamas and doesn’t understand why all the half-demons on TV hate their heritage so much. Why would you mope about being strong enough to literally pull someone’s arm off?

Monsino Map Decoding Update!!! (spoiler warning)

Link to previous freakout post: https://doodleferp.tumblr.com/post/623224885207040000/yall-im-up-tryna-decode-the-monsino-map-from-the

So what feels like a week ago, I decided to try and decode anything I might be able to find on the map of Monsino locations that was revealed to us in The Girl in the Woods. I wasn’t really getting anywhere trying to unblur the photos of the map I had already taken, so I decided to pull a MatPat and watch the scene where Carrie finds the map a quarter-frame at a time to uncover any additional Easter eggs.

What I found was something that blew my mind even further.

On the map, on Pennsylvania, I shit you not, there is an icon that is a dead-ringer for the Look-See.

Take a look:

That’s Look-See, all right. He’s there, he’s riGHT THERE. This ho knows a Look-See when she sees it, and that? THAT IS A FUCKING LOOK-SEE.

Additionally, I had some suspicions about another icon that I saw in one of my OG screenshots. It was very vague and I couldn’t make it out with my amateur Photoshopping, but I thought it looked like something with antlers. And GUESS WHAT IT WAS.

YEP. The FUCKING MORDEO. Right there in West Virginia (and uncomfortably close to home sweet Ohio). Monsino knows about not one, but TWO heavy-hitters of the Crypt Monster Universe (three, if I can figure out what the mind control icon is all about. Maybe the Kinderfänger? The monster from Tethers?). This only serves to confirm my suspicions and overall theory, so I’m gonna lay that out for ya right here:

The Monsino Corporation is trying to make monsters. I don’t know how, I don’t know why, but that’s their ultimate agenda. They want to make more of these suckers, or at the very least, study them or wherever they come from.

Here’s my main reasoning: the Freaks in the film Taste. For those who haven’t seen the film, I’ll summarize it here: two step-siblings, Clover and Malcolm, have to fight their way through their neighborhood after a shipment of meat from Monsino Farms turns out to be royally messed-up and turns anyone who consumes it into a ravenous beast called a Freak, rather grotesque creatures whose sole thought is what they’re going to eat next to fill the hole in their hungry tummies -- be it fruit, veggies, or human beings. Mostly human beings. Something I liked about Taste is that it ended on a hopeful cliffhanger, which isn’t something I’ve seen too often from Crypt. Usually the shorts end with implications that the monster is still there or that the main character is just about to get chomped on by a monster or something, but Taste ends with Clover and Malcolm going out to kick some cannibal butt, their newfound sibling bond stronger than ever, and that makes me really happy.

But as much as I love these two, the Freaks are what I feel to be a big point of contention in the Monsino puzzle. What intrigues me about these monsters is how similar they are to one of the heavy-hitters previously mentioned -- the Mordeo. Here’s some key similarities, just to name a few:

The way they’re formed. Both monsters are created through eating meat. The Mordeo is created when someone consumes human flesh out of desperation to survive. While not as bleak as the Mordeo, the Freaks are created when humans consume the likewise tainted meat.

Their transformation. As they are created, both monsters undergo a graphic transformation in which they lose their humanity. The Mordeo’s transformation is quite instantaneous, with the victim turning almost immediately after they consume the forbidden meats. The Freaks’ physical transformations are slower, but like the Mordeo their personalities disappear almost immediately after they consume the meat.

Their ravenous hungers. Both monsters are slaves to their vicious appetites. They want that human flesh and they don’t care who they have to kill to get it, be it the crazy hermit they only saw once in the alleyways or their identical twin sibling who they’ve been with since birth.

Get the picture? It’s my assumption that in their goal to study monsters, Monsino attempted to create a Mordeo through scientific means rather than supernatural. But since human testing is frowned upon, they had to find another way to test their theories -- and what better way to see the effects firsthand than to distribute it to a neighborhood under the guise of giving out free samples of a brand-new product?

That brings me to my next point -- Somnidyne.

Making its first appearance in Dream Screechers, Somnidyne is a drug that “relieves fear, inhibits paranoia, and supports sympathetic nervous systems". In layman’s terms, it’s designed to help people with severe phobias or anxieties function in day-to-day life. Sounds tame enough, right? Wrong. Apparently, a nasty side-effect of Somnidyne that they don’t put on the bottle is that it makes people experience nightmares so intense, it’s almost impossible to distinguish them from reality. Hell, one guy even died from these things. That made enough people raise hell over this that Somnidyne was pulled from the market

In the film, we get to see what the drug actually does: instead of helping you conquer phobias, it makes you a potential victim to a hella monster called the Dream Screecher. Now, it’s not exactly clear how exactly you encounter this Dream Screecher, so here’s my guess on that: Monsino wanted to study the Dream Screecher, but it inhabits in an alternate level of our reality -- meaning we can’t see it and it can’t see us, which is why they created Somnidyne. We only ever see the Dream Screecher when the main cast is on the drug, so it most likely acts as a mini-portal to wherever the Dream Screecher lives. Monsino may have had a bit more leeway when it came to testing this on humans, but perhaps they didn’t feel like taking the human test subject route and decided to give it to a bunch of people and see what would happen.

Which brings me to my last points -- the map Carrie found in The Girl in the Woods, and the Torment Fragments.

Torment Fragments are weird purple crystals that originate from portals to the Plane of Torment, the realm that The Brute supposedly hails from. These things also seem to be able to create monsters, such as the case of The Mauler and Miss Annity. A.D. has a map of this Plane of Torment, as revealed in The Girl in the Woods. But the map that we really need to pay attention to is the second map, and it’s the one that really puts the nail in the “Evil Monsino” coffin.

A.D. has a map of what looks to be every Monsino business location in the United States. Monsino ain’t just limited to farming -- from what I’ve been able to decipher, they’ve got Monsino Therapeutics, Biotech, and a pharmaceuticals HQ in New York. It looks really fucking official, too, which makes me wonder what postion A.D. was in for him to get one of these.

What makes me go even more off-guard are all the P markings on the map. If you look down in the bottom left corner, what little we can see of the map’s key identifies the P’s as portals to the Plane of Torment. And all those blue mountain-lookin’ things? You can’t make it out as well, but look at the key again and the blue lines are identified as “torm”. I’ll bet my left ass that the full ID is “torment fragments”, because those lines ALWAYS seem to spawn around the portals.

And even more so -- what’s the deal with all these mini monster icons? We got a clown-looking thing in Texas, and the Mordeo and Look-See symbols as previously discussed. What does Monsino want with all these portals? I can understand them needing to ID the Mordeos, but what makes Look-See so important to them? Do they wanna disect these monsters? Do they want to replicate them? What is Monsino’s game, and how long until we see things unfold? I get that with the second wave of COVID coming up here in the US, things are gonna be slower in entertainment than usual, but I can’t take it.

Crypt TV, we need answers. And we hope that you’ll provide.

TL,DR: Monsino is secretly evil and wants to make monsters, which is why they ID’d the Look-See and the Mordeo on their company maps.
