People who watched the backrooms movie and were dissapointed that the movie wasnt a constant action packed level 67 hello kitty entity room annoy me a bit because i thought the movie was wonderfully crafted from not only a atmospheric level (which we can all agree on hopefully) but on a plot level too, it didnt take anything away from the youtube series, the message was incredibly intresting and a perfect use of the backrooms concept. it is clearly a phycological horror movie its okay if it leaves you a bit confused and uneasy and deeply disturbed in ways that arent conveyed through constant jumpscares but long uncanny shots and ideas and that keep you on your guard. In my opinion if they answered too many questions it wouldve taken away from the movie
Ive seen so many intereptations of what happened in the ferris wheel scene in the snowgrave route and honestly think it was a really important and intentional choice for the route to let that scene hidden behind a plot continent ploy. Because one of the themes of the route is consent and desire, all of the desires of the characters being replaced with the control of the player, control that shifts the route into a weird manipulative heteronormative to rpg standards story. So of course the most intimate scene of the chapter is hidden away, the scene where Noelle talks to the person she truly wants, the one where they start to blosom a conection is hidden behind a curtain. Because that is out of the players control. No matter how much youd try to change it, Noelles curiosity and desire to know and be close to Susie will remain.
What happened there though? Well considering noelles boldness status going up during the route, the guilt and emptiness she was feeling combined with the relief of seeing Susie and hearing that everything is a dream it is very likley she kissed Susie or at least did something that is WAY more bold then what Susie would expect from her.
And that is messed up, sure but kissing Susie mightve been Noelle's only way to feel in control again, to feel like she gets one good thing out of this whole mess, in her mind, she deserved it. She was yearning and waiting for this for so long she mightve even forgotten for a second the atrocities she was forced to do to end up here.
But how did Susie reaction to all of this? Because in her view, the one that never was controled by others desires except her own it was a plottwist to see the "perfect well beloved" girl next door launch herself at her like that with no ounce of doubt. Maybe she was impressed, maybe she was happy but most likley she was very confused. Her feelings remain intentionally out of focus because shed never let them on full display anyway, unlike Noelle, Susie got the luck of having the final say in what she does. Unlike Noelle, she never was forced by friends or family to fill a rile bigger then her, because the only thing she has is a self fulfilling prophecy a bully. When she returns to Kris, or whatever is taking control now, she seemed smug and shrugged off whatever happened,denying the player information.
All of this to say, the ferris wheel scene is the most important cut scene and despite everyone being so curious for the potential gay stuff happening there, it is better to let it untouched and undiscovered. We were not supposed to find out what happened in that room, under the moonlight, between a girl who finally got a hold of her desires and a girl who never let them go.
As much as i love all of the "Kris doesnt like the player at all" interpretations because it does makes sense, we come into their life, we decide what thet can do and say and they even rip us out for a moment of peace(to eat pie). And aditebly, in many routes (espechially the weird one) we deserve all of that disliking and uncomfortableness Kris can feel for us.
But i also like the idea of the good type of player (the ones that try to understand kris and do whats good for them and their friends) because id make things so much messier. Kris would want to hate us. Were invading them and controlling them and im sure thats not the nicest sensation to have. But also... we made their life better, we (potentially) helped them through all of the dark world scenarios and made their life take a turn.

Top 5 feeling oat is when your completly unrelated intrests crash into eachoder on someones post and you can understand the refrences from both medias.
And a top 5 worst feeling oat is when your completly unrelated intrests crash into eachoder in your mind with a briliant crossover idea but you have no one that can fully grasp how well the crossover works in your mind.
